Her three kindly old fosterfathers purposely invited to provide amusement for her wealthy aunt's snobbish friends! Watch her Irish blood boil---and see what happens. Little Shirley Mason as "Sally" has a part which seems most con- genial to the varied capabilities of this great little mectress, who is without doubt one of the most ac- complished artistes on the screen today. "Sally in our Alley," is a polg- nant story of the. "sidewalks of New York," with a collection of characters which include represen- tatives of the teeming East Side. The canny old Scotsman, the loy- able Jew, and the whimsical Ita- lian. All are there, playnig their parts just as they do in real life. Luxurious mansion settings vie with tenement backgrounds as the locale for the main action of "Sally in Our Alley," Columbia Pictures screen romance, which fs now showing at the New Martin Theatre. The heroine is raised in a tenement "alley" and makes her home with three - foster fathers. Then she is transferred to a weal- thy sunt's home, and to mew situa- tions that form a sharp contrast to her earlies environment. The sets provided by Columbia for this production are said to present a vividly realistic rep) of tene- ment districts as well*as the au- thentic atmosphere of "high so- clety." Shirley Mason, who has achiey- ed considerable success in the por- traval of "waif" roles fis starred as "Sally." Richard Arlen has the male lead as the heroine's plumber sweetheart. i The News Reel is full of fnter- esting happenings, and the comedy "Four Faces West," is very good, though we were quite ble to -------- No mother in this enlightened age would give her baby some- thing she did not know was per- fectly harmless, especially when a few drops of plain Castoria will right a baby's stomach and end almost any little 111. Fretfulness and fever, too; it seems no time until everything is serene. That's the beauty of Castoria; its gentle influence seems just what is needed. It does all that castor ofl might accomplish, with- out shock to the system, Without the evil taste, It's delicious! Re- ing purely vegetable, you can give it as often as there's a sign of colic; ,constipation; diarrhea; or need to ald sound, natural sleep. Just one warning: it is genuine Fletcher's Castoria that physicians recommend, Other preparations may be just as free from all doubt- fyl drugs, but no child of this writer's is going to test them! Be- sides, the book on care and feed- ing of babies that comes with Fletcher's Castorla is worth its weight in gold. Children Xe cherld CASTORIA. SENATOR G.

Red Indians Maligned Chicago, Dec. 5.--The scope of Mayor Thompson's literary renova- tions widened Thursday when a group of Chippewa, Cheyenne and Pottawatomie Indian chiefs called on him and demanded that he fix up history to the red man. "We have been maligned for centuries," said Wild Horse, a Cheyenne. "We have been charged with massacres done by palefaces, driven from our lands and enslaved on reservations." Historical accounts of scalpings and massacres are labeled as *'pale- face propaganda' by leaders of the group, In a resolution presented to the Mayor, it is stated that the PIl- grams taught Indians how to scalp, and, so the document states, no bounties were paid to Indian war- riors by the parsimonious settlers unless the enemy's ears were at- tached to his scalp.

To his interest in poli- | tical matters, he added an active in- terest in agricultural and journalistic affairs, At one time he was a lec- turer on agriculture for the Quebec Government and for many years was ! connected with La Patrie as agricul- | tural correspondent and with Le Can- ada as agricultural editor, In 1912 Senator Boyer was mamed chairman of the Dairyman's Associa- tion of the Province of Quebec, which office he held until 1924 and in 1915 was Chairman of thePure Maple Sugar Co-Operative Association. In 1900 he was a major in the 17th Regi- ment of the Duke of York's Royal Canadian Hussars. Elected in 1904 Senator Boyer's connection with public life dates back to 1904 when he was elected Liberal member of the House of Commons, at a general election, In 1908, 1911, 1917 and 1921 he was re-elected as member for Vaudreuil-Soulanges, and in 1922 was named to the Senate. From 1907 to 1919 he was mayor of Rigaud. Holding a safe seat in the House of Commons, the member for Vaud- reuil-Soulanges was freer than many other members of the House and in consequence became a well-known figure on political platforms in all parts of the province. As one of the pillars of the party he took part in many notable itical battles and his outstanding ability as organizer and speaker were recognized throughout the province. Aided Bri Aside from his political achieve- ments, Senator Boyer is recalled as one of the fathers of the Ile Perrot Bridge Commission. With T. B. Ma- caulay, president of the Sun Life As- surance Company, he took an active interest in the project to link up the Island of Montreal with the main- land, and due to his untiring efforts in this connection, two bridges were 5 A son of the farm, the late Senator was born on November, 29, 1871 at St. Laurent.
