LION OF VENICE.

The most conservative critics are en-
thusiastic in their praise of George
Kleine's siX-part photo masterpiece,
THE Lion of Venice" scheduled to ap-
pear at the Auditorium theater Fri
day. Most phOtOplays dealing with
romantic periods in the worlds his
tory depends almost entirely for their
appeal upon beautiful costumes, mas
sive scenes and historic settings, neg
lecting the fundamentals of plot and
story. Such is not at all the case with
The Lion of Venice" which tells a
story of the keenest interest, portray
ed in master fashion by a splendid
company of international screen fav-
orites.
The Lion of Venice" is said to
rank with "QuO Vadis" Antony and
Cleopatra" and the other Kleine SUI
per-flms among the greatest spec
tacular productions known to the mo-
ton picture world. The greater part
of the action takes place in the ro-
mance-laden atmosphere Of medieval
Venice, and the picture was actually
made in Venice itself with the coop

that historic city.

FARCE OF MYSTERY.

Never mind what the critics say

This is one of the last speeches by
the leading character in George NJ.
Cohan's new farce of mystery" call
ed Seven Keys TO Baldpate," which
is booked for presentation at the Oil
yer opera house Saturday, Dec. 3. The
character, "A writer of best sellers, -
is speaking Of his latest book.
The same words might be applied
10 Mr. Cohan's new piece. which is
said 10 be one of the cleVerest bits of
writing he has ever done, and one
which promises to lead all his others
in popularity. And that is saying a
great deal.
As told in the form of farce, Seven
Keys 10 Baldpate," which Mr.. COhan
made from Earl Derr Biggers' story
of the same name, is not alone highly
entertaining; il is thrilling and by far
the most entertaining piece Of the past
dozen years. Mr.. Cohan has suited
the construction of his farce TO the
material which he has TO handle. In
this respect, Seven Keys is unusual,
consisting of two acts, the first con-
tanning a short prologue and the sec
ond sort of epilogue.

OHIO POSTMASTER
IN BATTLE IN CITY

Charles Marshall. postmaster at
New Paris, c., and Everett Purviance,
of the same place, who is a contractor,
aired an old family feud in the Bet
telon saloon, North Ninth street, last
night, and today were each fined S.
and costs for the fight which ensued.
Marshall, whose federal appointment
is of recent date, was in considerable
fear this morning that he had placed
his new job with Uncle Sam in jeop-
ardy and he requested the newspaper
men not to publish anything about the
episode.
Marshall is much larger than Pur-
Vance, but the smaller man gave a
good account of himself in the battle
which started in the saloon and ended
Ger Gully arrived on the scene.
Both men had been drinking and
they rehearsed loudly and profanely
old difficulties Finally Purviance as
sured Marshall that if he did not stop
the practice of his dog barking at We
hicles, a motorcycle would run over
it some day, injure the rider and cause
Marshall to be made the defendant
to damage suit. Purviance says
Marshall struck him in the face with
out warning and the battle began.
Both men showed marks of conflict
on their faces.

A Home Recipe for
Wrinkled, Saggy Skin

The famous saxolite lotion recon-
mended by beauty specialists for re-
moving wrinkles and for reducing dis
tended pores, can be easily made at
home. Ask your druggist for saxolite
in powdered form. l o., and " pint
witch hazel. Dissolve the powder in
witch hazel and battle the face. neck
and hands in the solution. Results
are remarkable, and instantaneous.
The skin tightens, and this naturally
reduces the wrinkles, as we'll as
creases or folds about the neck, cheeks
or hands. The tissue beneath the
skin also becomes firmer and more
solid.
One feels much refreshed and ex-
hilarated after using this truly Won
derful and harmless wash lotion. Its
continued use once a day for only a
short time makes the average person
look ten or fifteen years younger.

GRAVEL ROAD Law
CONTINUED from Page One.)

Continued from Page One)
"financier" escapes. Why, once, the
richest man in Anderson paid taxes on
only $500 of personal property.
The way it is done is this. The COM
mon council of the cities and the
trustees of the towns pass resolution
to improve certain streets under the
three mile gravel road law and then
unload on the county commissioners.
A petition of fifty or more freeholders
is presented to the county commission
ers and that board has to grant it and
the revel of bond dealers, real estate
dealers and peanut politicians begins.
The managers of the cities and towns
point with pride to their new streets,
but forget to say that the township
and county paid for them. Then there
is community of interests in getting
these streets built at the public ex-
pense. A bunch of fellows who own
real estate play the "you-tickle-me-
and-l-will-tickle-you" game. You sign
my petition and will sign yours.
There is a sentiment that the coun-
ty commissioners should not be al
lowed to build city streets. That would
cut down the bond isue, would reduce
the amount of interest paid, and lessen
the rate of taxation Again these
gravel road bonds take from the COM
munity large sums of money that are
needed to move the crops and requires
the crop owners to borrow money.
The sentiment in Indiana is very
strong for good roads. The farmers
particularly are anxious for them, and
are willing to pay their just proper
ton of the expense of building them.
But they are beginning to murmur
against the good roads movement be-
cause of the burdens put on them by
the three mile gravel road law-bur-
dens that would not exist if the bond
dealers, the real estate dealers and
the peanut politicians did not manipu-
late the law.

BELL MEETS VILLA
IN SECRET FARLEY

Ell PASO, Tex, July 16-An official
mystery was made today of a confer
ence held late last night between Ma
jor General ]. Franklin Bell, command
err of the American troops on the
border, and General Villa, the Consti-
nationalist chieftian. 1t took place at
the center of the international bridge
connecting Ell Paso and Juarez, and
with the exception Of the two generals
and their aides no one was present
While the conference was on traffic
over the bridge was suspended and the
two commanders who met where Pres
ident Talft and President Diaz ex-
changed courtesies in 1910, were I'M
interrupted.
When the conference ended General
Villa returned to Juarez and declared
that the meeting had been one only of
courtesy and was held at night to
avoid publicity.
Though the resignation of Huerta is
expected by COnstitutionaLst officers
to hasten peace in Mexico, many of the
warriors in Juarez today expressed re-
greet that the dictator had fled. If cap
tured by Constituencies troops he
will be given short shrift.
