Evidently Alexander Pantages
believed in competing with warm
weather, providing vaudeville bills
of such merit that the vaudeville
fan will find it impossible to re-
sist. Such bill is that which
will open for the new week at the
Pantages theater here beginning
with the usual Monday matinee.
And while on the subject of
novelties 1t might be we'll to men,
ton JEWELS Manikins, which will
headline the new bill. This is
considered the greatest of all the
European novelty acts now play
ing In vaudeville in this country.
Miss Lille Jewell who presents
the elaborate production is known
from one end of this country to
the other, just as she is welcom-
ed in the big variety houses of
Europe.
Max Wits -Four Singing South
ern Girls are Just now taking the
Pantages circuit by storm and
they will arrive with the new bill
Monday afternoon.
Francesca Redding is an actress
with reputation in the legitimate
field as we'll as in vaudeville.
Music and comedy are com
bined In "Piano-Funology" offer
ed by Williams and Wolfue who

PRINCESS

Whether it is the city, with it's
snares and pitfalls, that is to
blame when the young people go
wrong, or whether it is the young
people themselves, is the discus
sion in 1.-The City," powerful
drama by Clyde Fitch which will
be presented at the Princess thea
ter all next week, beginning with
the bargain matinee tomorrow
afternoon.
"The City" was produced in
New York three months after
Clyde Fitch died, and. it made a
profound sensation. 1t was pro-
nounced one of the greatest
pieces of dramatic writings given
to the stage in years. 1t Is the
play in which the character of the
dope fiend is SO vividly portrayed.
1t has been seen in Tacoma but
once and has never before been
presented by a stock company in
the west.
All of the favorite members of
the Princess company will be
prominent in the cast of THE

To Overcome Sunburn,
Tan, Ereckles, Wrinkles

IL you are freckled, tanned or
sunburnt, dab a liberal amount of
mercolized wax on the face and
allow it to remain over night. When
you wash off the wax in the morn
ing, fine, flaky, almost invisible
particles of cuticle come with it.
Repeating this daily, the entire
outer skin is absorbed, but so
gradually, there's not the slightest
hurt or inconvenience. Even the
stubbornest freckles yield to this
treatment. The underlying skin
which forms the new complexion is
so fresh and youthful-looking
you'll marvel at the transformation.
It's one of the few things known
to actually discard an aged, faded,
muddy or blotchy complexion. 1t
Is also good for arms, hands and
neck. One ounce of mercolized
wax, procurable at any drug store,
Is sufficient in most cases.
If sun and wind make you
squint and frown, you're bound to
cultivate wrinkles and crowsfeet.
To overcome these, battle the face
in a solution made by dissolving
an ounce of powdered saxolite in
a half pint witch hazel.-Advt.

Ice-cold statistics recently were
published by the government TO
the ecect that Charles p. ELL,
United States labor commission
er, in six years, through media
ton, had settled AZ railroad
strikes, involving 10000 men
and 505,SS0 miles of railroad.
These belated figures, however,
do not reflect all this wizard dip
lomat has accomplished In the In
dustrial world since he was APP
pointed to his present job in
1905.
His really spectacular work
has never been done in the lime
light; 1t usually takes lace be-
hind locked doors. He enters a
strike field when both sides are
at their wits end to know what
to do. Both employer and en-
ploye have made every conces-
sion they regard possible.
On appeal from either SIDE
Neill begins work. Resourcefui,
tactful and shrewd, he hears both
sides and then, like a playground
instructor, suggests compromises.
No one outside the parties con-
cerned ever hears just how it's
done.
Neills genius Is shown in his
ability to make statistics tell a
vital story. This was illustrated
when he emerged from the Law
renee strike feld after weeks of
work and quietly handed over a
bunch of "figgers'' that brought
out the salient fact that the
workers were not paid an amount
which could possibly be con-
structed a living wage. II was

about the best piece of muck

The same thing happened when
Neill broke into the game for the

tor of the stoc.Syards. He was
assisted by James Reynolds. Their
work led up to the pure food
law.

he was graduated they awarded
him "sunma cum laude" honors.
He was the best in the class of

No colony should be examined OF its
