ORPHEO THEATRE.

The picturesque scenery of North ern California's coast is said never to have been depicted on the screen with more success than it is in "'rhe Eye of the Night" the Triangle play in which Thomas H. Ince presents William H. Thompson, the dean of the American stage" as star, at the Orpheo theatre today.
 Departing from the usual run of recent pictures, this drama is a story of the sea-rather of sea coast village in England-and consequent ly a vast majority of it's scenes de- manded a natural setting similar in appearance to the British coast. The shore that fringes knoxville is one of the beautiful wonder spots of South ern California, yet it in nowise re- sembles the rock-bound coast of Eng land. Hence, in$staging the subject Director Walter Edwards was qom- pelled to take Thompson, eMareory Wilson, who supports Ihim, and some twenty other ' players to a point about 600 miles up! the coast and there encamp foE two weeks while the drama was in the process of mak- ing.

How to Peel Off a
 Weatherbeaten Face

It's really a simple matter to reno yate face soiled by dirt, wind or cold. Ordinary mercolized wax, used like cold cream, will transform the worst old complexion into one of snowy whiteness. It literally peels off the outer veil of surface skin, but so gent lX,, gradually, there's no discomfort. The wornout skin comes off, not in patches, but evenly, in tiny particles. leaving no evidence of the treatment The younger healthier under-skin forming the new complexion is one of captivating loveliness. One ounce of mercollzed wax, to be had at any druo, store, is enough to remove any coarse chSa1pped,, pimpled, freckled, faded or sallow skin. Apply before retiring, washing it off mornings.
 Many skins wrinkle easily with ev- cry wind that blows. An excellent Wrnkle-remover, because it tightens the skin and strengthens relaxed mus cles, IS wash lotion made as follows. Powdered saxolite, 1 oz., dissolved in witch hazel, one-half pint This gives immediate results.-Advt.

on he kind of looks different. He
can look down from the dizzy height
of his own sweet vanity on the
badgeless guys that pass him on the
street or in the hotel corridors. He's
got something on that the general
run of humanity isn't wearing. And
he gets the same kind of fun out of
it that a peacock does when he
spreads his tail

pose. They help the rest of US to

labor Is Property.

The American Federation OF Labor,
as previously recorded in these col
umns, has recommended to all its
members that they defy any ruling of
the courts OF the land that labor Is
property. The assumption OF the
leaders OF this organization that la
Dor is not property seems incorrect
and a most dangerous position for
labor itself.
Webster defines property as 1.-The
exclusive right to possess. enjoy, and
dispose Of, a thing; ownership;
anything, or those things collectively
Ia or to which a man has q right
protected by law"
II would seem to us that labor
cannot be defined as anything else
than an exclusive right to possess. en-
joy. and to dispose of. 1t certainly
can be nothing less than this and life
or liberty is nothing more than this
It is property.
1t cannot be treated as anything
different than property in these re-
spects: 1t cannot be forced upon any
one OF q price he is unwilling to pay
for. it.. it cannot be taken from its
possessor any more than goods OF
chattels can. but can be taken fol-
public use for a proper compensation
a contract for it is valid and cannot
be evaded.
Labor can ill afford to attempt to
make n mans labor anything except
a thing ito which a man has a right
protected by law" If it does it de-
prives itself of the safest guaranty the
individual possesses under our law and
constitution.
