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

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.
