FALL CONFERENCE IN MOUNTAIN CITY Officers of tho Plttston Rotary Club have been In Hazleton yesterday and today attending the fall conference of the officers of the Rotary Clubs in the new Fifty first district, composed of Northeastern Pennsylvania, of which Col. Ezra Ripple, of Scranton. is governor.

About fifty officers were in attendance, and they had a very busy time, every hour of the day being occupied with a programme of discussions covering every field of Rotary work. Among thote in attendance were Dr. Henry S. Fish, of Sayre, a director of Rotary International, and Cornelius E. Gnrretson, of Wilmington, former governor of the Thirty fifth district, of which the clubs in this section were a part until the present year.

District Governor Ripple 'presented an outline of the year's work suggested by Rotary International, as handed out at recent meeting in Chicago, after which each phase of the work was taken up separately and discussed in detail. The District Governor opened each discussion and. then called on representatives of the clubs for comment or asked for questions pertaining to the subject in hand. Stress is to be laid during the present year on Rotary Education. At least four meetings are to he devoted' to what is called the Rotary school, at which members will be Instructed in the principles of the Rotary organization.

In the smaller clubs the school sessions will take the place of regular meetings of the club. The sessions of the conference were held in Hazleton's beautiful new modern hotel, the Altsmont. located in the heart of the Mountain City. Hazleton Rotarians were most hospitable in their "reception of he visiting brethren.

Much of the farm, dairy and orchard work is done by the boys, under experienced supervisors.

The boys are housed In modern brick cottages, there being 24 in each cottage, cared for by an experienced couple. The cooking for each cottage Is done In the cottage, much of it being done by the boys, some of whom have become expert cooks. Every modern convenience is provided In each cottage, including telephone and radio. The honor system prevails in the institution, and dally credits are given fo good work and faithfulness. Superintendent Johnson explained that each day Js a new clay for a boy, the shortcomings of the past day being absolutely forgotten when the new day opens.

4. Where are the famous movie stars of yesterday? Wo fame is more fleeting than that based on the celluloid film. Only 10 of 15 years ago there were I'lckfords, Fairbanks, Gishes, Talmadges and Swansons. But now their names hint of flown ghosts. A few are happily married.

Borne have sought seclusion at the corners of the earth, others still struggle on in the film world, forever grasping at that which has slipped from them forever youth and fame. Several have dropped from riches to poverty. The public had no other movie star before it 15 years ago except Florence Turner. But now the film alorv thnt once was hcra has faded with tho rest of her forgotten kindred Marguerite Clark, Uene Gauntler, Florence Lawrence, Mary Charlcaon, Klla Hall, Mario Walcamp, Mabel Trun nelle, Mary Fuller. Helen Holmes, Liuiue Briscoe and countless others.

miss turner is back at the aceno of her early triumphs, but not as a star, fa no goes from studio to studio seeking employment, but only now ana men does she get work even as an "extra at 17.50 a day. She is still not 85. In 1913 she went io curope oecause ot poor neaun ana started nor own film company. Due to the war it was a tallure. All kinds of m.

(fortune followed, until Marlon Da.ies raised a fund to relieve her destitute condition. "For eight years I ha fought for a chance to come hack," she said with tears in her s. "But nobody wants me. I gMias I'm through." Uene Gauntler, once known round the world as a star of the old Ka iem Company, now lives In seclusion at Stockholm, Sweden. She, too, tried to come back, but found conditions In the industry so changed she could not succeed.

For awhile she tried reporting on the Kansas City Post, but domestic troubles and the longing for the old film life caused ner to seek contentment in Europe. When Mary Pickford was just starting in the movies, Florence 1 awrencc was enjoying world wide popularity. Miss Lawrence's career as a star was abruptly terminated right years ago when her face was badly burned in escaping from a burning building. All the skill of specialists could not restore her lost beauty and the loss of her cinema fame was inevitable. However, she refuses to give up the fight and is working as an extra in pictures here.

Marguerite Clark, once as noted In the film world as Mary PIckford, and Mary Charleson, star of the old Vitagraph Company, now arc happily married. The former is the wife of Harry Williams, of New Orleans, and the latter married Henry D. Walthall, the actor. "I have found more happiness In my hume than I ever could have found the vain glory ot seeking personal fame," says Mrs, Walthall. And Mrs.

Williams wires: "We aro happy and that means everything In the world. Years ago Ella Hall was the "child wonder of the movie lots." She deserted the screen to marry Emory Johnson, a dlrcctoi. She became the mother of three children and after fame came to her husband, he deserted her, according to her divorce complaint at Los Angeles. Nine years ago, Mary Fuller, once a star, suddenly disappeared. It was as though some gulf of obscurity had drowned her.

Only recently was the wistful Mary found living in seclusion with her mother in a Washington, D. suburb. "I ran away from it all, because I thought I had gone as 'far as I could," she says. Mabel Trunnelle, another by gone luminary. Is now Mrs.

Herbert I'ri wlfo of an actor. There are countless others who have fallen from lofty pinnacles into the abyss of obscurity. Where are the rest of these stars of yesterday who thrilled the hearts of men, women ana children Dorothy Bernard, Alice Hollister, Marlon Leonard. May Hotallnc, Kdlth Storey, Marie Walcamp. Billle Rhodes, Krancelia Blllington.

Enid Markey. Claire Anderson. Dolores Casincllie. May Buckley, Maude Fealy, Juanita Dalmorez, Pearl Slndclar. Orml Itawley, Irene War field.

Helen Holmes, Cleo Madison, Winifred Westover? The list of the forgotten forget me nots Is endless. And every day the list grows longer. Commissioner Rosser has verified the plan to use the $76,000 of State money given to Luierne county for rebuilding the nine mile highway trom Conynghsm Pass through Tom lilrken. Derringer and Rock Glen to Mountain Grove, traversing sections of Sugarloat and Black Creek town ships. Originally the plan of the commissioners was to rebuild another road to a point beyond Conyngham and running westerly to Mountain Grove.

Members if Hazleton Motor Club and citizens of that city. Tomhicken, Derringer and Rock Glen have been urging that the former route be Improved They say that It Is the shortest route to Bloomsburg and would also connect the secondary highway to link Bloomsburg witli Shenandoah.

J. Howell 410 Luiern Avenira Thone 768 "Very well then, dear, It'i only two blocks to the chain grocery," she raggeited sweetly. And that's how, few mtnnlei later, I happened to find myself staring Into the muzzle of a six shooter. "Shove over next to the boss!" snapped the masked artilleryman, "Think I want to get cross eyed try. lng to cover you both at oncer "The company's out just $343.43." said the grocer, looking ruefully at bis empty cash drawer.

"Yep," I sympathised. "That bottle of ketchup cost me Just forty two dollars." "What a nuisance it Is to be a good citizen! Every evening fot the next week or so I was called to various police stations to Identify, If possible, among the recently arrested, our particular cannon Jug gler. "Dear," said my wife, when I bad returned from my latest nightly failure, "I've got a big surprise fo? you," and banded me my stolen wa" let with not one of tbe forty two dot lars missing. "Some one rang the bell; thrust It Into my hand and disappeared before I had a chance to see who It was." she smiled. "Plain as day," I said.

"This holdup artist Is a wise little boy. He's afraid of being caugbt and Identified by me, and so be thought ha ought to buy me off. But that reminds me I've never paid for that ketchup." I was surprised, on entering the grocery store, to see my old lieutenant, "Wolfert, In earnest conversation with the managers. After mutual greetings and Inquiries, during which I learned that the ex lieutenant was now a salesman fot tbe Excelsior Burglary Insurance company, I told them of the return of my wallet "That's great stuff!" exclaimed Wolfert "And I was Just telling Mr. that he needn't worrj about the loss of that money, because I've succeeded in convincing his corporation to take a blanket insurance policy on all their stores throughout the country.

As part of the transaction we had agreed to make good their recent loss. It'll mean lots of publicity for us; plenty of advertising." It was only after I had returned home and we had finished suppet that I recalled having neglected to give the lieutenant my address. At tbts moment our doorbell rang, and before we bad a chance to move we beard tbe door opened and banged shut, and a masked figure dashed Into the room. "Lieutenant!" I gasped. And In my excitement the only thing I could say was.

"How did you And out my address?" "Quick!" he snapped. "Get out your checkers. Lively now! Set 'em up." Just as If be was ordering "squads right And I obeyed without question. The doorbell rang. Somebody cnocked.

"Don't forget." said Wolfert, as 1 went to open the door, "I've been here a couple of hours." When I opened tbe door and aaw those two burly, determined looking policemen before me, I almost lost my nerve, and the lieutenant took command of the situation. "Right this way. officer, he "If, as I Imagine, you're chasing some one." "Surer replied one of the police nen. "A gun man 1" "What was the yell in bereT asked the other. "Tbe woman heard a noise at the Altcben window.

Some one climbing down the fire escape," Wolfert answered promptly. One of the officers dashed Into the tltcben and out on the Are escape; the other ran out the door. Of course the chase was ansae and soon Wolfert and I were taring each other In silence. My musings were Interrupted by die lieutenant taking out of his pocket a roll of bills. Calmly, deliberately he began counting.

"These Haddon bakeries do a pretty good business, all right" be remarked. "Yon have no kick coming yourself." I Joked. "But you might have gotten me Into a fine mess," I added seriously. "You're the last person In the world I'd have suspected of robbery." "Walt; not so fast!" he Interrupt d. "You can't say that." "Didn't you bold up the Haddon plnce and take their money?" asked, my anger rising.

"Yes," he replied calmly. "And I held up Schuls and your ownself not so very long ago." "Man!" I excalmed, "Are yon mad?" "What's the matter with yon, any how?" he snapped. "Didn't you get your money back?" "Yes, thanks," I answered. "And didn't the XYZ get tbeli money back?" "Yes." I admitted. "And as soon as the Bad don people sign this policy coverlnt all their stores, they're going get theirs.

You see, modern sales inanship methods are progressing all the time. Does anybody lose because of my unusual methods?" be asked. "Yes," I replied for the third time, and added "I do. I lose sll chance of collecting that Ore hundred dollar. reward." Wyo p.
