The platform in the university as sembly hall is hedged with beribbon c-f flowers. Young women, in very new white dresses and witn cheeks pinked by excitement, wait nervously; young men, w.th over serious faces, wait stiffly. And there is one with silver streaked hair. She smiles continu ously—a sort of spiritual smile transcending earthly things. The college president calls; “Mary O’Malley Sullivan.” Two stout canes appear from either side of a chair and the sil ver-haired woman supports herself upon them. There is. a storm of applause. It is “Orphan Mary’s” moment of great triumph. She accepts the rolled paper. It is a degree of Bachelor of Arts. “Orphan Mary” has defeated cir cumstances, suffering, tragedy and misfortune. For those who may find the strug gle hard or the trail easy, the life of Mary O’Malley Sullivan is a ser mon in courage, persistence and complete triumph of the spirit. This brief outline may provide a sketchy picture: She was orphaned as a baby. A fall from the porch hopelessly crip pled her for life a few years later. At the age of 14 she graduated from the Plains, Pa., high school. At 18 she was a normal schcci graduate. She held a practicing pharmacist’s license before she was 20. She was widowed 18 months af ter marriage. Was proprietess of a drug store and postmistress for 20 years. Served in the Treasury Depart ment at Washington during the war. Spent three years helping the sick and disabled in hospitals. These are all records of achieve ments. They tell nothing of the months spent in hospital cots suffer ing from her crippled condition and seeking to find help from some of the world’s best surgeons. Nor of pain that often seemed unendur able. For ‘Orphan Mary” was never able to escape the companionship of her two stout canes and of physi cal suffering.! Yet her ambtion was stronger than her handicap. In ev ery spare moment she studied. The years sped. Silver strands crept into her hair. And then, after more than 40 years of struggle—the opportunity of a college course. To ‘'Penn State College” she be came a symbol. Students came to watch for her and help her limp up the stairways and through the halls to the classroom. Now that she has won a degree she is not, finished. Not Mary O’Malley Sullivan. ( 111 teach for a time and then I’m going to study again,” she says. GARRETT BELIEVES MARRIAGES LEGAL MACON, August 22.—Explaining that he had not read the new“pure marriage” law, Charles H. Garrett, solicitor general, said yesterday that he was inclined to the opinion that marriages performed since August 18, while illegal, are not void and will stand the test if taken into court for a ruling. In Georgia, Mr. Garrett explain ed, common law marriages are legal and under that law a marriage license is not necessary so long us the couple enters into an agreement to marry and then carries out the agreement. “Unless this new law specifically says or is worded to imply that mar riages performed not in compliance with the new provisions are void, ’ Mr. Garrett said, “then I believe they are good.” ITCHING ECZEMA DRIED RIGHT UP BY THIS SULPHUR Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying a little Mentho- Sulphur, says a noted skin specialist Because of its germ destroying proper ties, this sulphur preparation instantly brings ease from skin irritation, soothes and heals the eczema right up and leaves the skin clear and smooth, felt seldom fails to relieve the torment and disfigurement Sufferers from skin trouble should get a little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur from any good drug, gist mid use it like a cold cream.

THEATRES “THE HUNTRESS’ A WESTERN COMEDY-DRAMA A story of the West, unique, unusual, romantic, dramal’c and at times highly humorous. Such is “The Huntress,” a First National picture which is playing an engage ment at the Rylander today and Sat urday. “The Huntress,” which was di rected by Lynn Reynolds, is a com edy-drama of the Northwest and of fers an ideal starring vehicle for Colleen Moore, the newesj; First Na tional star, who plays the titular role, that of a lovable, vivacious and mischievous white girl, who has been reared among Indians. The story centers around this Peg O’ My Heart of the woods, vho, eager to marry a white man k dnaps a handsome, bashful young man from the city who has come mto that country prospecting. It is a delightful romantic com edy, replete with humor but not without a leaven of pathos. Its ac tion is swift and its plot unique. Lloyd Hughes plays the leading male role and Russell Simpson and Walter Long wall be seen in the principal heavy parts. The exterior scenes of “Th? Huntress” were taken in the most picturesque section of the Califor nia and Nevada high Sierras, among the mountains and lakes of the Mono lake district. This is the ter ritory whore Mark Twain laid the scenes of “Roughing It” his famous story of the gold-rush days. Without doubt the location is one of the most scencailly beautiful of the whole Sierra range, and until choserj for the locale of ‘The Hunt ress,” is said to have remained un discovered by the motion picture makers..

When she presides o.»» the senate as its president, the worid will sit up and take notice.” “One thing is certain,” Mr. Faris said. “We’ve been electing the is sues for 50 years and the other ltd lows have been elected the officets. It ought to be our turn to elect the officers. “If we can get only one-half o f the good people in both old parties who are sick and tired of the proven corruption which has besmirched both major parties, to tell Uncle Sam at the ballot box their real hearts’ desire we’ll be elected by a tremendous majority. “If the good women will recog nize the fact that it was through our party they gained their suffrage rights and will pay their debt to the only party that evere did faithfully stand for them, we’ll be elected with out the need of a single ‘male-man’ vote.” Mr. Faris asserted the Prohibi tion ticket would be placed on the official ballots in nearly half of the states, among them Pennsylvania, Illinois and California, and that he thought it would find a place in many more states. “In 1920,” he continued, “a great many of our people thought our work was done. But government is only ‘one percent law and 99 percent enforcement’ and you can’t expect the Prohibi tion laws to be enforced by un sympathetic officials now in office.” Forestall Dreaded Chills and Fever No one need suffer the seasonal recurrence of Chills and Fever, with its terribly weak ening effect.
