The order barring Normand and fiss Purviance films was issued by eigel January 9 and was to be- yme effective immediately. His ecision to extend the “dead line’ in these films resulted from an an- jouncement in Cincinnati this af- rnoon that a moving picture jouse had advertised an Edna urviance film to start Sunday. I believe exhibitors who con- racted for these pictures in ad- ance of our order are entitled to ahead and show them,” Reigel ald. The films were barred, he said, Misses Normand and Purvi- r ‘are alleged to have been fixed up in too many shootings.” 40,000 MILES SURAGED ROADS INS, igures Reveal 40,000 les Built in Last Year. ‘What is said to be the lon: is shown here.

DESERTED VILLAGE LIVES ON IN WAKE OF INDUSTRIAL TRAGEDY ALL THERE NOW IS TO THE DESERTED VILLAGE OF RIF A THRIVING INDUSTRIAL CE By STEVE HANNAGAN. RIFTON, Y., Jan. 12—old Rifton, where woolen blankets were woven for the gallant warriors of the Civil war, and later fine carpets made—a settlement: that dates back to the early nineteenth century. when it was settled by the Dutch, is now a deserted village. ‘The one street is narrow and winding, nestling in the picturesque foothills of the Catskills, Old houses, built from rough stone in 1840, are as staunch today as the pyramids of Egypt. The mill stream trickles. onward, but the paddle wheel is stilled—os immobile as the town itself—and the old mill, once the center of ac- tivity of the community, a four- story architectural feat those days now wallows in the backwash of a million-dollar dam, a modern inven- tion to produce electric power. eee Rifton looks for all the world as though it had been torn from one of old into of an tossed the legendary tales r and carelessly setting. ‘There is no vestige of modern times.

Passages of it would return to your mind were you to saunter through quaint Old Rifton.

SMALL (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Daily Tribune.) NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—The mod- ern college girl has just received the worst lambasting of her career and the question before the coun try's educators resdlves itself into this: Are the college campuses tocay infested by ‘an army of hard drink- ing, cigarette smoking, licentious amazons?” Dr. Charlés J, Smith, president of Roanoke college, Roanoke, Va., says they are. Theodore T. Weston, proctor of Cornell university where co-educa- tion holds sway, says they are not. Dr. Smith says entirely too many college giris carry liquor in their handbags; too many of them dance voluptuously in the hope that they will induce many boys to “br on them and thus demonstrate their popularity. There are too many dance . intermiss‘on’ . fort, drinking Purposes, and too often the evening concludes with ‘violent’ petting parties in the luxurious retrcats of a fine limousine. In fact, according to Dr. Smith, TON, N. ¥., WHICH ONCE WAS as many.as ten they are deserted. There are but two children to peek into the windows of the old school house, where the three “R's” were taught to Rifton’s young in the past century. see Rifton hummed with the weaving of carpets until 1911, when the workers went on strike. The mil never was the same. One by one families of workers left for more fertile fields. In 1917 the charter of Old Rifton was revoked. It has been on the down since. But Rifton was built to last. Long after its ten present inhabi- tants—including a blind man, two small children, and a dog are dead, the buildings of Rifton will stand. eee George C. Schoonmaker, 77 years old, is the caretaker of the village, which now is owned by an electric power company.
