UNCLE SAM WARNS
 AGAINST GASOLINE

If you don't think gasoline is dang erous, listen Accurate records have shown, says the Ladies Home Journal, that the average weekly toll of gaso- line fires in the United States has been twenty persons killed and sixty in- jured. Many of these fires have origi- mated in such common home process ses as cleaning clothing and gloves. Uncle Sam's experts have prepared booklet showing why gasoline should be handled with the utmost care, and what precautions to take in using it. This expert advice should be in every home, garage or other es- tablishment where gasoline is used.

BEST THEATRE.

Today--Valentine Grant is credited with having written tho story of "The Daughter of MacGregor.' Miss Grant is also the star of the picture. The best feature of the photoplay is it's character drawing. In reproducing several types of Scotch folk. the author shows q lear understanding of the people. At the opening of 'The Daughter of MacGregor,' Jean and her father are living peacefully together. A bit of scandal told about Jean and a wealthy young Englishman, causes the girl to leave home and start to join her uncle in Flor/a. The lie is told by Miss McGrimm, who, late". becomes Donald MacGregor's second wife. Jeans adventures until she Sails for America are full of mex eX- periences. She joins travelling show troupe, in order to earn the money for her passage, and pipes and danoies at country fairs. Her Uncle Robert proves 10 be stern and unforbidding, but Jean wins him over when she helps to capture a gang of lumber thieves. The coincidence that the camp is owned by the father of the young Englishman permit the lovers to be reunited at the proper moment, and Jean goes home with weddins ring on her finger to comfort the elder MeGregor. who is once more liy- ing in single blessedness.

STANDARD BASKET LAW.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The so-caIled standard basket law enacted by the last congress goes into effect today, providing for a uniform standard in size for all baskets and containers used for small fruits, berries and vegetables in interstate commerce. The effect of the act will be to require the use of the standards in manufac- turing, sale or shipment for all inter state commerce, where the containers are filled or thrilled. A large part of the traffic in fruits and vegetables in this country enter interstate com merce. The law relates only to. the containers and will not affect local regulations in regard to heaped measure or other method of filling.

Geraldine O'Brien, the Broadway favorite who stars in "A lWoman's Fight" the Pathe Gold Rooster play at the Orpheo theatre Saturday, has stamina, nerve and-a punch! The picture proves it. Miss O'Brien plays a factory worker who decides to take the part of another factory girl, very young and very slight, who is much picked upon by a third factory girl. The latter is brawny' and friend of the boss. That makes no difference to Miss O'Brien, who won't have her little friend eternally abused. She Hands on" the boss's friend. The

ALL STAPLE FOOD
CROPS ARE SHORT
Country Faces Poorest Harvest in
Yers in Most Big Food Staples.

According to Department of ARri-
culture crop reports. this country is
faced with shortages In almost all
food crops.
Wheat. corn, potatoes. beans. and
many other crops consumed largely
by man are not in to normal. The
wheat crop Is only tbout two-thirds
of that of last year. and l00.000,000
bushels short of the fve-year aver
age. With huge exports to the war
centers there Is ample cause for the
high prices paid for 1t. .
Beans. a staple for which there has
never been found a substitute, are
hundreds of thousands of bushels
short. Potatoes are only about two
thirds of crop short. Barley Is short
and so IL corn.
The present crop of corn In about
Is per cent under that of last year,
and 100000 bushels below the aver
age.
Some foodstuffs have bumper crops
this year, however. Such a one is
rice. this years production being
about 80 per cent above the normal,
A largely increased demand for rice
IL foreshadowed, however. by the ex-
tensive advertising campaign being
conducted r" rice growers to educate
the public in wavs OF eating II.
The sweet potato crop Is well above
the average. though q little short OF
last years output. Tobacco In full
and abundant. being 100000. 900
pounds above the average.
