MARTHA wAsH1NGToN's WILL.

The threatened lawsuit over Martha
Washington will should interest a
world of collectors. Missed from Fair
fax Court House, Va, during the Civil
war, it was long lost to view. Now it is
credibly said to be in the library of j.
P. Morgan. Fairfax demands its re-
turn. Mr. Morgans librarian offers on
his behalf to swap a Photographic copy
of it for photograph of George Wash
ington's willard remains Every truly
yduft.,;
If all the library loot that passes
from hand to hand until it reposes near
the longest purse were to be replevined,
there would be fittings back and forth
of famous ''items" almost as sensational
as those of "Mona Lisa" Most col
lectors regard manuscripts as "ferae
naturae," wild gifts of nature which
any man is free to bag. Even the fact
that will is public record might not
count heavily with the average collector
should he get a chance to buy of
another innocent purchaser the last
testament, say, of Button Gwinnett,
rarest of the "Signers."
By all means let suit be brought, that
the possessors of rare public documents
may know where they stand; whether
they may gloat in secret over treasure
trove or return it, or possibly have their
rights strengthened by a new legal
doctrine of adverse possession. Mean
while the will is at least safer with Mr..
Morgan than it was in Fairfax in the
regretable troubles of the early sixties.

geles plans to develop Gigantic munich
pal power project, involving an expendi-
ture of $40, 000,0 900 in Mono County, ac-
cording to proposals outlined before the
State Board of Water Power Control by
attorneys and engineers representing
that city.
A tunnel &c miles long. to carry water
from streams tributary to Mono Lake
into the Owens River Valley, where it
will be merged with the Los Angeles
Aqueduct project, is one of the most
pretentious features of the proposed
undertaking.
These plans were revealed in explana-
ton of Los Angeles opposition to the
application of E. G. Ryan, Southern
Pacific detective, who had asked for
permits to appropriate water from Rush
Creek and Leevning Creek, in the
vicinity of Mono Lake. S. B. Robinson,
Assistant Los Angeles City Attorney,
said he believed Ryan was representing
the Chappell interests, which ontrol
the Navada- California Power Company
the Sierra Power Company, the Mono
Power Company, and the Hydro Electric
Company. Ryans attorneys deny
this allegation.

American Actress Thinks Moving
Pictures Do Represent Develop
ment Of Real Art.

Those who hold that the moving
picture Is a menace to the legitimate
theater-and legitimate is used in It's
ordinary, not its real acceptation, for
the moving picture theater is as le-
Ultimate per Sc as that devoted to
the most classical productions-must
do so on grounds OF Commercialism
for they cannot do so on the grounds
either OF art or Of value to the thea
ter as an institution" says Mrs Fiske,
who perhaps represents in as great
measure as any other stage figure Of
her day the intellectual and genu-
inely artistic forces of the theater.
"As soon as l began the work, an
astonishing thing happened says
she. Almost Immediately | felt an
absorbing sense of something new,
and strange and wonderful With all
my soul, / disagree with Madame
Bernhardt, who declares that there
can be little art In the moving pic

All C1ogged Up?
Here's Quick Relief
A Simple Remedy to Correct
Constipation Before 1t
Becomes Chronic.

Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thou
sands injure themselves by the use
of strong cathartics, salts, mineral
waters, pills and similar things.
They have temporary value in some
cases, it is true, but the good effect
is soon lost, and the more one takes
of them the less effective they be-
come
A physic or purgative is seldom
necessary, and much better and
more permanent results can be OBJ
tained by using a scientific rem
edy like DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pep
sin. 1t does not hide behind high
sounding name, but is what 1t is
represented to be, a mild laxative
medicine. It is so mild that thou
sands of mothers give it to tiny in
fants, and yet it is so compounded,
and contains such definite ingre-
dents that it will have equally good
effect when used by a person suf-
fering from the worst chronic con-
stipation. In fact, among the great
est indorsers of Syrup Pepsin are
elderly people who have suffered
for years and found nothing to ben
eft them until they took Syrup
Pepsin.
1t is a fact that millions of fani-
lies have DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin constantly in the house,
homes like those of Mr.. H. W. Fen
stermaker, Siegfried, Pa. He says
he has had wonderful results from
