BOARD REPORTED
AGAINST STRIPPING

Atlanta, Ga, April 29.-It has
been learned in reliable authority
that the state prison commission
has prepared report on the ap-
plication for pardon of Thomas
Edgar Stripping, now serving a
life sentence for murder at the
state prison farm, near Milledge-

SILVER AT HIGHEST
MARK IN MANY YEARS

New York, April 28.-Bar sill
yer was quoted at II 3-8 cents an
ounce today, the highest price in
almost decade. A month ago
the quotation was 90 "a, early in
the year So, and just before the
war 81 IA was a fair quotation.
The withdrawal of gold as a
medium of circulation from prac-
tically all of the markets of the
world except this country ac-
counts almost fully for the sensa-
tional advance in silver. Incl
dentally, the Mexican disturbance
has served to materially curtail
the supply from that important
source.
In recent months there have
been heavy shipments of silver
from this country to England,
France and Russia, while the de-
mand from China and East India
has been almost unprecedented.
Silver is being coined into shil-
lings, francs and rubles for dis
tribution among the armies and
navies of the allies.
The United States government
is in the market for large guam
titles of the metal, the local assay
office having been authorized to
pay 90 cents an ounce against its
previous offer of GO cents. Deal
ers declared today that Wash
ington would have to increase its
bid if it hoped to replenish its de-
pleted supply.

gins its twenty-seventh quadren-

SUITMAKERS' STRIKE TO
AFFECT $4,000 WORKERS

New York, April Thirty
thousand workers in women's
cloak, suit and skirt manufactur-
les here received notice today of
the beginning of a lockout affect
ing 400 shops controlled by mem
bers of the Cloak, Suit and Skirt
Manufacturers Protective asso-
citation.
In those shops where Saturday
IS observed as the Sabbath the
lockout takes effect tonight. In
the other shops it goes into effect
Saturday night. ft
In retaliation the president of
the international Ladies Garment
Workers Union and officers of
the eleven cloak makers union an
nounced that they will declare a
strike to become effective next
Tuesday, involving not only the
$4,000 affected by lockout but al
SO about $4,000 employees in L.
8OO shops not controlled by the
manufacturers association.
If this threat is put into effect
about $4,000 makers of women's
clothing will become idle and the
industry will be tied up complete
ly as by the big strike of 1910.
The dispute arises over the
question of maintaining "clos-
ed" or "open" shop.

COMMODITIES SOARING
AND END NOT YET

Atlanta, Ga, April 27.-Pretty
much everything is soaring in
prices these days. One will soon
find that out if he will take the
trouble to have talk with any
Atlanta merchant, capitalist or
manufacturer. Here is some in
formation gathered by your cor
respondent on the subject of food
and raiment:
Sugar is soaring up to $1.85
per 25-pound sack. 1t used to
sell anywhere from SIPS to S1.50.
Your correspondent gets about
enough to fill the small sugar dish
for quarter. He saw a Is
pound sack in the stores, but new
er had one in his house.
And there is gasoline. The
worry over the advance of gaso-
line is not confined entirely to
those who run an auto, there
fore your correspondent not pos
sessing a hivver has no annoy
ance on that score. The price,
however, has been rapid enough
to attract general attention.
"Bill" Harris, of Georgia, now a
member Of the Federal Trade
Commission in Washington, has
been probing into the subject for
the government and he has found
out few things that may result
in the gasoline prices going down.
It's a dead sure thing that Bill"
will help the folks at home if he
can. You've got to hand it to him
for looking out for Georgians and
Southerners. President Wilson
esteems him very highly, which
is natural, for he is man among
men" But back to the oats.
Most of us have actually felt
the high cost of beef, and we have
complained every time we went to
market or sent the butcher
check. The lunch counter boys
in Atlanta have already been
kicking like a bunch of Georgia
mules because of their small
steaks have advanced in price
from 20 to 30 cents.
Meanwhile few of us have
noted the abnormal rise in the
prices of all lines of dry goods.
Silk, woolens, linens, cottons,
knitted goods and so to the end
81 the list-there is but one story
to tell of the new higher price
marks i'll the stores and shops.
Reduced to plain English, the
average man exchanges his labor
Tor money, and the money he
earns, he exchanges for necessi-
ties, or if he has enough of it,
which most of us haven't, for lux
uries.
Just at present times are good
from all parts of Geor-
gia and adjoining states show it
is work for all and regular
pay, and in many cases higher
pay. Yet, as soaring prices show,
one must now pay more for his
living.

HAUBER THEATRE.

Reversing the Cinderella order, Uni
versal City, Cal, was turned topsy-
turvy for a week in the vain search
for a pair of shoes to fit Mary Mac
Laren. Ordinarily, this would not
have been a tremendously difficult
task, for Mary has nice feet, and the
size is only three and half. But
Lois Weber was extremely particular
about these shoes, for they were to be
feateured in the title role of drama.
Moreover, they must be old shoes
terribly old-in the last stages Of di-
lapidation, but sufficiently strong to
hold together during the filming Of
this five-reel Bluebird photopIay
which will be seen 1t the Hauber the
atrc on Tomorrow All kinds, makes
and varieties of shoes were tried, but
none OF them filled the requirements.
Miss Weber finally recided upon a pair
OF comparatively respectable shoes,
and decided to "age" them.
This process took a week, and it is
sufficient to say that no shoes ever
went through the borrowing expert
ences which befell these star shoes.

A Simple Way To
Remove Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, common liquid arvon
from any drug store (this is all you will
needD, apply it at night when retiring /:
use enough to nloisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications win completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find all. itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and your
hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel hundred
times bstteEs
