CONSTANCE TALMADGE IN
.   EMERSpN-LOOS FEATURE
AT LIBERTY THEATRE
"Tlie. Love Expert," Touted as Coined}* Success of Season, Has
"MHlion Dollar"  Plot.
Proclaimed by Eastern, critics as
the most delightfully original screen
comedy of the year. "The Love Expert," starring Constance Talmadge
in an original story and adaptation
by John Emerson and Anita Loos
will appear at the Liberty theatre
Saturday.
As in almost every other Emerson-
Loos attraction, a theme note based
on a popular conception serves as the
idea about which the picture is built.
For instance, in this day of specialization, what should be more natural
than for a young, romantic girl to
take upon herself the duty of developing an original science of the
hejtrt and emotions. Thus you have
the secret. Babs is a boarding school
girl, utilizing her time neither on
trigonometry nor ' athletics—but' oj
the subject of love.
Chemically spealuiig./^Sabs arrives
at certain forpiulas involving ttie
love-making science, for whicli she
.Will talk or tight for. One- of her pet
theories is the fact that when a person is in love, upon holding the hand
of the loved, his cheeks will take on
a scarlet blush, his heart will syncopate and his pulse will accelerate.
Well and good, so far as the theory
goes. But when Babs discovers, that.
—but what's the use of * siving it
away.   It's best to see the picture..

GERTRUDE A. "LUTZ,
Township Clerk  of the Township of
Saline
Another, and one of the few te-
niaining old landmarks of Saline, has
been razed to its foundation. This
old brick structure was erected by
William and Alexander Gordon in
t852 and occupied by the two„faini-
liies for marty? years' It weathered
the storms and usage for several
Icore of years without change or repairs and up to the time workmen
commenced a short time ago to tear
It- down was still" in good condition.
Not one of its huge brick walls had
shown any- signs of crumbling or giving way, and the luortpi- which had
so long held the brick together
seemed as firm as when placed there.
It might well have been called "a
house of many - bricks." From foundation to the roof not only side walls,
but all inside walls and partitions,
were of solid brick. A large chimney^
six feet square, built from the ground
up through the west wing, contained
foiii- old-fashioned fireplaces, in front
of which the two old colples enjoyed
many evenings sitfing in the bright
light jof burning chunks, or short
logs. V!
Another amusing part to the modem builder is the_Ja.th which were
used. These are of whitewood, and
are,.split from thin- hoards measuring from 10 to 15 feet in length;
and many of the baseboards were of
walnut.
Few readers of today realize, or
+even, know of the old fireplaces,
when stoves were rare, and most of
the family cooking was done hy
hanging kettles on cranes above the
fire, for all boiled or stewed dishes,
toasting and baking was done' by
placing the articles across.the andirons, or covering them with hot
-ashes.
It was by these old fireplaces, with
three or four logs placed together "foV
ia- cold ,. winter's nUght • heating, . that
many of our forefathers were heard
to remark that "they could bake on
ono side and freeze bn " the other,"
which was literally true, as much of
the heat would go up the chimney,
and water in an open pail at the opposite side of the room would freeze
solid..Yet they enjoyed life and their
homes in those good old pioneer days.
Now the old dwelling is gone, and
in its place soon will rise pheonix-
like a handsome large garage,to mark
tho advance of an industry which in
the days when the Gordm mansion
was erected was anticipated only remotely by Mother Shlpton in her
wierd prdphecy. *
A relic within a relic was uncovered in the old mansion—an old trunk
made of thin iron and covered with
leather. It had laid in the attic for
no one knows how many 'years. It
was lined with, a newspaper called
"The Advocate," dated .December 9,
1S40, but no place of issue is shown.
One article in it gives the population
of Michigan as 212,000.
