Train Your Hair as

No class of people devotes as much
time to beauty as do actresses, and
naturally no class must be more careful
to retain and develop their charms. In.
quiry among them develops the infor-
nation that in hair care they find il
dangerous to shampoo with any make
shift hair cleanser. Instead they have
studied to find the finest preparation
made for shampooing and bringing out
the beauty of the hair. The majority
of them say that to enjoy the best hair
wash and scalp stimulator that is
known, get package of canthrox from
your druggist; dissolve a teaspoonful m
a cup of hot water and your shampoo
is ready. II costs less than three cents
for this amount. After its use the hair
dries rapidly, with uniform color.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. Your
hair will be SO fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. Its luster and
softness will also delight you, while

day and the balance of the week at the

in course Of preparation for seven
months. 1t is listed as one OF the biggest
features on the Vitagraph Company s
program for 1916-17. 1t will not be re-
leased outside Of Washington until Octo-
ber g.
Because of the close working agree
ment between the Casino Theater in this
city and the new Vitagraph Company,
which represents an amalgamation with
the vi. s. E. organization, special per-
mission has been given the Casino man
agement to show the picture this week

mounted with exceptional lavishness and
calls for a mammoth cast. This impos-
Ing photoplay will dominate todsy's new
program, which, in addition, will offer
a new comedy and the latest "Pathe

King Ludwig in a speech at Nuremburg

Moore. strand-"war's women"

Wars Women" picturing a powerful
theme, the violation of women in the
time OF war, will be the headline attrac-
ton at Moore's Strand Theater the en-
tire week of September II. Thomas Ince
has handled this subject with a master
! hand and the result is a tense, breath
holding drama that in its scope reveals
the darkest and most bitter side Of war.
The picture is one that grips and holds
and the spectators feel that they have
witnessed the most brutal, burning as
pect Of modern war; its awful price and
those who ultimately pay. Artistically
produced and finely acted under the per-
sonal direction of Thomas Ince, the pic
ture is the greatest plea for preparedness
ever offered. The enacting company in
cludes many of the players who aided
In making the same directors produc-
ton "Civilization' such a huge success.
The musical accompaniment for the pic
ture was arranged by the concert mas
ter Of the Metropolitan Opera orchestra
and will be rendered by an augmented
symphony orchestra under the personal
direction Of Daniel Breeskin, who re-
turns from a long rest and vacation.

Loew's coIumbia-Edna Goodrich.

For the last half of the week, begin
ming Thursday, Edna Goodrich will be
the star in the photoplay THE House of
Lies This society drama, staged in the
most remarkable private gardens in Amer
lea (gardens that are world famous and
which are visited each year by thousands
Of tourists, is without doubt one of the
most elaborate films.
Edna Coleman is the stepdaughter Of
a society matron who candidly explains
that she intends to exploit her daugh-
ter's beauty in the marriage market
The marriage market is, with its shallow
veneer Of modern dress and modern
manners, an amazing similarity of spirit
to the old slave market"
But there is a way that sets all the
tangle right, and Edna Goodrich, playing
the starring role, finds that only in a
great sacrifice is the clear path that
leads to happiness.

No Great N en-?

Great crises in the political history
OF mankind commonly have been pro-
voked, or may have been dominated by
personalities whom history calls great.
Out of the welter of the civil war in
England in the Seventeenth century
Cromwell arose, as out OF the storm OF
the French revolution Napoleon devel.
oped. Bismark in his time, so short a
while ago, really dominated events,
actually determining what events
should be.
But it is question whether in Eur
ope today single man Of what is styled
genius has appeared, and it seems un-
likely that such a man will still APP
pear. There are men Of vast capacity
AMI OF steadfsst will; but there is Meth
err a Bismark nor Moltke in Germany
neither Il Cavour nor Garibade in
Italy, neither Bomaparte in France
nor Pitt in England.
Very great crises before this one
have failed to develop very great men.
The whole course OF the thirty years
war showed no single statesman or
general OF the very FIRST rank, unless
the brief lived Swedish king was an
exception. Indeed, the death OF Gusta-
vus at Lutzen removed the one force
that might have brought the struggle
to decision, so that for lack of great
genius the thirty years war dragged
its slow length along TO the exhaus.
ton of all comhatants.
In appreciation Of what lack of
genius means to crisis, consider what
our own Civil war might have been
with Lincoln left out. For Lincoln, as
we now realize, was not only the sole OF
the north but also the north's will! to
conquer.
The German kaiser is brilliant and
shrewd But he is neither Bsmark
nor Frederick. The machine he inner
tied and has perfected is vastly capable
but it proceeds OF its own momentum.
Nor has Great Britain found herself a
Marlborough, who was the inspiration
of the coalition against Louis XIV.
And certainly the scared looking little
Russian Car is no Peter the Great.
So this is peculiar struggle-or else
the perspective of history will be re-
CURED to reveal the proportions of the
actors upon the present enormous scene

HOME MEMORIES MEAN MUCH
Duty of Parents to Give Children
Something Which They May Re-
call With Pleasure.

Happy home memories to look back
upon is a gift which every mother
should plan as definitely to give to her
child as she plans definitely to give
him an education, sound health and
good judgment.
First of all, then, it seems to me
we owe our children memories of a
beautiful home; a home Of simple COM
mon sense; a well-ordered home. This
would seem to me child's very first
right.
And next, it seems to me, he has the
right to memories of beauty in the
home. Children are far more suscep-
tible to beauty than many of us real
ize, and certainly the effect of beauty
on the child's life can hardly be over
estimated.
Further, home to be a delightful
memory must have the beauty OF So
ciability. 1t must be a place where
people come to share its benefits, and
it's ideals. That home can hardly be
called home which does not open
it's doors often.
Besides being healthful place,
beautiful place, a sociable home, II
it is to afford US enriching memo
ries, must be an intimate and sympa-
thetic place, possessing that finer in
innate sociability which grows up be-
tween the true home and its inmates.
In all right living and thinking we
are partakers of kind Of immortality,
for death does not touch these things.

Magazine.

IL is stated in connection with the
announcement that the Chicago Press
Club will vote this month, upon the
question of abolshing the bar, that
the sales Of wines and liquors in that
club has been conducted at a loss.
The statement will surprise many per-
sons, but those who will be surprised
are unfamiliar with the atmosphere Of
clubs, and with the financial expert
ence Of such organizations.
1t is perhaps oftener the case that
the club bar does not pay than that 1t
is the prolit-taking feature 1t is suppos'
ed generally 10 be. a club bar, neces-
sarily, has a limited number Of patrons.
All representative clubs have fairly
well selected membership. The i'm.
moderate and inyeterate gu2zler is not
sought as a member of any club made
up Of gentlemen. Upon any member
ship list there are many men who are
abstemious, and few who are total
abstainers, as well AS few who are
pretty regularly ratrons Of the bar. A
large clubs small bar may be run at a
profit, but in a clIb Of average size it
ia difficult TO make the bar pay its way.
1t is convenience, rather than An
enterprise.
When we consider the fact that the
families Of members share the privile-
yes Of most social clubs a membership
OF 800 means more or less active
membership far larger, as affecting
the receipts Of the restaurant and bar,
The figures sometimes made 10 show
how many hundreds of persons there
are IN given city for each public bar
it supports might, by comparison with
the figures showing the membership OF
clubs, each maintaining one bar, and
that, oitentlmes, at a loss, show that
club members are fairly temperate
consumers Of alcoholic beverages, no
matter what may be true OF the TYP
cal clubman," as the term is used and
and interpreted.
