Central Labor Union
To Celebrate on July a

BY voting to hold its annual celebra-
tion OH the Fourth of July instead of
Labor Day, the Central Labor Union
last evening solved the problem aris-
ing when the Building Trades Council
leased the Benning race track grounds
for Labor Day. The Central Labor
Union will thus be able, its officers
say, to conduct its annual outing with
out having it under the auspices OF the
Building Trades Council. which stepped
in and leased the grounds where the
Central Labor Union had always gone.
While some feeling still exists be-
tween Individuals over the situation,
open warfare and a double celebration
OF Labor Day have been avoided by
the decision to celebrate on July 4, and
many members of each organization
probably will attend both festivities at
Benning.

The whole inside Of the hand began to crack
The skin was dry, thick and hard and then
broke out in deep cracks which bled and
were very painful They would throb and
pain me, and burn so that I could not sleep
nights. The flesh was a peculiar red color
and the hand was swollen and felt Stiff,
For six months I tried a great many
different remedies but none OF them did any
good. Finally commenced using Cuticura
Soap and Cutcura Ointment. From the very
start found it was helping me. The cracks
soon began to heal and before had used

ANNA HELD AND HER
EYES THAT WON'T
BEHAVE" ARE HERE
Coincidence Scores At New
National In Her Latest
Vehicle.

After an absence of two years, which
seemed longer to some of our regular
first-nighters, Miss Anna Held is back
at the National in Mile. Innocence. :"
Twas a right jolly audience which
greeted the Ziegfeld production last
night. Mile. Innocence" is billed as a
musical entertainment and nobody was
deceived by the title. Everybody knew
that there would be plenty OF Anna
Held songs, Anna Held girls, and Anna
Held eyes.
OF course, the cast Is rather differ
ent, but the girls seemed just as pretty
and the comedians just as funny as
those of yesterday who are now with
some other star.
Miss Held sings a few EYE" songs,
Just so the old-timer will know for GER
tain that he's at an Anna Held show.
There is a Partisan flavor, naturally, to
the whole play and Miss Held initiates
herself, thereby giving lessons to those
vaudeville artists who have been iml-
tating Miss Anna for some years.
Among Miss Held's song hits are II
Wonder What's the Matter with My
Eyes" and "A Lesson in Kissing" both
of them sung, of course, in the most
innocent manner as is fitting in a show
about Mile. Innocence"
Harry watson, jr, who tromboned
his way to way with the old team Of
Bickel and Watson, is the fellow who
'provokes most of the mirth during the
two acts and six scenes. Mr.. Watson
plays the part Of the greatest detec-
tive in the world and he gives laugh
able insight into how William J. Burns
would not handle the great problems
that confront the stage sleuth.
Ernest Lambart-you remember, he's
the fellow who says, my error" all
the time-is chief lieutenant TO Come
dian Watson. He's good Englishman
and that's what he is supposed to be
in the Held show.
And there's Sarah NJ. Edwards, the
spinster proprietor of the innocence
school. She's clever character actress
and really made her part. 1t might
have been wearisome in less capa ble
hands. Miss Grace Leigh sings a song
or so In captivating fashion, and Ethel
Kelly does a dance that brought much
applause out front The chorus is at.
tractive and daintiy Costumed, the
show girls are stunning in their Pari-
sian creations and the mounting of
Mile. Innocence is in harmony with
good Anna Held show.

Munsey's Magazine editorially. "Why

called?
Does not the same logic that brought

to a centralized domination OF every
