In har last play Peggy Hyland al
most went up In. the air wiih an
aviator. In her new play she -s all
at sea. The dainty, peppery Peggy is
coming to Sherry's theatre Saturday
only In a William Fox comedy drama
called "Miss Advonturo." It la n tale
of the sea and of a fishing village
on the Pacific coast, and Peggy has
some lively adventures with iniug
fclers and kidnappers. i:t ei-- n

It was said some time ago that
Miss Hyland's last picture, "The Re

ever done, but according to report
Miss Adventure" surpasses that

Rubber Preservative,
A preparation that may be used for
preserving rubber may be made by
getting a saturated solution nf turpen
tine in denatured alcohol. The point
of saturation is known by a drop of
undissolved turpentine remaining In
the alcohol. A little more alcohol Is
added to dissolve this drop and the
solution Is saturated. Rubber articled
should be occasionally painted or
swabbed with this eolutlcu.

Onions, rerommended as a staple
article of diet, odoriferous hut de
lightful to the palate, may disrupt a

It was. the onions that capped tho

The picture is ono of exceptional

apathy in considering the feelings olj
his wife, portrayed by uioria

sulted and how the divorced couple,
ultimately arn reunited make a fas
cinating story of signal attractive
power.
