MINEOLA, N. Y., Nov. 27. Little Jack De Saulles, son of Blanc Do Saulles, who ia now on trial her for the murder of her husband last cummer, does not know that he was the innocent cause of the tragedy. He is not permitted at the trial, and doeB not know that because of her mother's love for him, Mrs. De Saulles is now fighting the battle of her life to escape the electric chair. A Woman reporter for a New York newspaper who is attending the trial has written these impressions:

il On The Screen

WASHINGTON

William Fox, film vizard, decided to mske motion pictures especially for children. He waved his magic wand at-the -Fox Western Studios, and lo and behold, there sprung up, as if made by fairies, the beautiful spec

tacular age-long fireside tale of "Jack ;

and the Beanstalk" Everybody knows the story, which has been handed down from the earli-' est days of the English-speaking peooles as a heritage of delight to the j little ones of modern times. It is filmed for children, by children, and will be released by the Fox Film Corporation as the first of the regular monthly "Fix Kiddie Features' soon to be inaugurated. How many grown-ups recall the moments of real joy when as a child they listened while someone read to them from a book about the giants and pigmies, the fairies and other wonderful marvels of the make-believe world. Now these wonderful ntories are to be visualized by master hands and placed before the delighted -yes of the children of the world. To more appreciably realize the effect of this announcement one has but to recall the desire, after hearing the tales, to see the pictures in the book of the giants and dragons and dwarfs, and then would com? the longing for pictures of the whole story. No one has appreciated this longing more than William Fox, whose love for children has been largely instrumental in the picturing on the screen of these wonderful subjects.

fcven suppressing sobs and sensational features and facing the ugly fact of murder, it is impossible to view the white, set face of the prisoner and remain unmoved.

It is not because of her beauty and Mrs. De Saulles is undeniably lovely but rather because suffering has placed such an imprint upon this w oman, who is hardly more than a irl, and turned a face that was meant for smiles into a mask. She doeB not give the impression, cf a woman Vho is fighting, for her life, but rather of a woman to whom life with its conflicts, its emotions, is a thing apart. 'Whatever the' flame of passion that swept over Blanca De Saulles on that August evening, causing her to take fate in her hands and destroy the barrier that kept her child from her. it has left her seared

and broken. She is like a wraith of a woman, viewing from afar the wreckage she made of her life.

A Dreary Picture. The sodden November landscape was no more dreary than yie face she turned to the curious crowd that fileld the courtroom as. she listened to the proceedings, but gave no sign of hearing. Neither the selection of the last two jurors nor the wrangling of the lawyers brought a flicker of Interest to the dark eyes, bent, for the

Centerville Enioys Its Community Sing; Neff Family Pleases

CENTERVILLE, lnd., Nov. 27. The first Community Sing was held in the M. E. church Saturday evening and was attended by a lar?e crowd. Every one seemed to enjoy singing the old ongs together. The Neff family of Greensfork, great favorites in this community pang a number of selections in their pleasing manner, and Prof. Shanjtofl Neff gate 4 whistling solo. Miss Vesta Rollman and Edna Johnston rendered a duet which was greatly appreciated. The next Community Sing will be held at the same church, December 8.

j time for the first call to dinner at

tween there was a lohg stretch of paves, nothing more; and she was screaming for help. .What --Brent Brewster did was to jump up and s:rasp the ede of the eavei. a sort of h-dge, and hand over hand, dangling forty feet above the ground, drag himself to the front window and her rescue. But that was Only a Small part of

the excitement in Flying Colors," the Triangle play starring William Desmond, which will be shown to the Murray theatre today. fvfURRETTE Miss Olive Tell, one of the most deI ghtful of the speaking stage stars who have espoused photodrama. admits her complete conver3ion o to the camera's viewpoint and expresses her cVlight at the opportunity afforded by the screen for dramatic expression. In "The Unforseen," at the Murrette today a new Mutual Empire production, one of the famous Frohman plays reproduced under the Frohman-Mutual contract Involving all Charles Frohrian talking stage successes, Miss Tell displays her "perfect "grasp of the essentials of the photoplay. While it is the young star's first picture for Mut.ial the result is disitnctly satisfactory. "'The Unforeseen" is an intensely interesting drama. - -

the most part, on the listless white hands in her lap. The psychology of Blanca De

Saulles, as set forth in the opening speech of the prosecution, is not that

of a woman who would commit a deed of violence. Only a being whose inhibitions were gentle and whose na

ture was tender could, in an hour of

great emotion, have taken thought for those dependent upon her ball for

her maid, the fee of the taxi driver

this consideration is not the mark of the cold blooded murderer but of a kind heart that never forgets the needs

of others. .

What could have goaded a gentle

girl to such a deed? The baffling

face, the apathetic attitude like a wall

flung back the question at a world that seeks to penetrate the fastnesses cf a mother's heart. It is not a woman who is on trial, but mother love which

strikes at whatever threatens the

child.

The district attorney, with all the magic of words, recreated for the jury every detail of the shooting from the moment when the mother tele

phoned to know why she could not have her child to her arrest. The slight figure, clad in a simple brown

frock, with vest, collar and cuffs of gray white chiffon gave no sign of

interest or emotion. Sbe wore the look of one whose mind has rehearsed the story with wearying repetition until it no longer registers. The negative has been overexposed. The Apathy of Sufferina.

With the same apathy she listened to the examination of witnesses, but this was the apathy i Uf f ering. not of indifference. No 'aroman who placed so high a value upon the life she had brought into the world could take a life and not pay the penalty. One wonders what she was like, this sad young mother, when fn her happiness she became the bride of

fascinating, handsome Jack De ! Saulles. ! What does she feel about It all? What does she think of those twelve men who have her life in her hands?

w hat does she think of the judge, the prosecutor, the witnesses? What is her attitude towatd.the sisters of the dead man, who faced her across the courtroom and showed keen interest in all that took place? Above all, what does she think of the gaping crowd of idle men and women before whom she is pilloried? What of these women who have appeared day after day with the regularity of crows in a cornfield, and what of the others who will strive to crowd in when the defendant is put on the stand. Have they no children to claim their care? Have they no duties, no demands upon their time? There are bandages to roll for sold'ers and garments to. make for War ftrnhnna hut

theiliands are empty. Does the same instinct that makes men go to prize fights prompt women to attend murder trials a desire to see how much punishment the victim can take? is there, under Ihe thin veneer of modern civilisation, the blood lust of ancient Rome? Are the thumbs of these who drink in the testimony being unfolded daily at Mineola turned up or down? -

Potatoes and Milk

of ghildhooi Days Still Taste Good INDIANAPOLIS, Not. 27. -r Baked potatoes and milk of our childhood days tastes just as good now and if

we return to them we will be doing

the federal food administration a foor, said H. E. Barnard, representa

tive of the food administration In In-1 fliana, in the following Btatemeat giv- j en out here today: "Potatoes will be a popular food this coming -winter. Last year they were luxuries. And while we were wishing we conld hare all tie mashed potatoes we wanted 'just for once,' we were learning to appreciate better than ever before the real value of potatoes. But now the greatest potato crop of history 1 being gathered. And since the crop is larger and will sell at a reasonable price now Is a good time to get even better acquainted with the virtues of the lowly spud. "Do you remember that when yon were a child you were fond of baked potatoes and milk? Try it again now. Take a big potato, scrub It well and bake it until Its sides fairly burst to let loose the light, mealy, starchy body. Then break, skin and all, and submerge it with a flood of cream, sprinkle it with salt and that's alien but the gnetatorial joy of feasting, on food that, unlike most of the dishes of childhood, to whioh we sometimes hanker to return, tastes just as good

now as it did in the lung ago. And if

the cream pitcher is empty, good milk

with butter will be almost as well.

'Why do not the managers of our

dairy lunchrooms hang out a sign like this

Big baked potato,- cents, With milk, 10 cents, With cream, 15 cents. "You will be tempted, and lunch

welt at small cost. And down In Washington, Mr. Hoover will rejoice

that the potato Is doing its bit to take the place of the bread he must save for our allies over the water."
