It is not necessary to shampoo

Of really good shampoo. The cas-
lest to use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend to
our readers may be prepared very
cheaply by dissolving teaspoonful
of canthrox, obtained from your
druggist, in a cup of hot water.
This rubbed into the scalp creates
thick lather, soothing and cooling
in its action, as well as very benefi-
cial to scalp and hair. After rinsing,
the scalp is fresh and clean, while
the hair dries quickly and evenly, de-
veloping bright luster and soft
fiufiness that makes it seem very
heavy.-Advt.

George Kleine, Veteran Produc-

ditions Of Motion Pictures.
QUALITY LOST IN QUANTITY
Man Who Originated Multl'Reel
Productions Condemns Sell
ing Photoplays by the Reel.

The man who invented the feature
picture-and has been one OF ne
big IA otors in the development OF tne
artistic MS well rs TIE commernih'
a,de Of the motion picture industry
has come out fatty with the state
ment that producers are selling DC
lures too frequently by the FOOT
than bv the quality.
This man 10 George kleine. ne u
probably better equipped to Talk
about all sides Of the motion picture
industry than any one man engaged
in It, lie has recently progressed In
tile course OF p year from an inde-
pendent producer OF feature hlms to
the post of president of the General
Film Company. one OF the largest OF
the general distributing agencies for
pictures Of all classes, but more espe-
cIally one and two reel subjects by
the so-called licensed companies.
He is now insisting that feature
picture Is feature purely and sim
Ply because OF its quality and not
because It happens to exceed a GER
tain length. lie contends that q
one-reel film Is teature-if II pos
segses characteristics that raise its
quality above the average.
Not Photoplays, But Film.
Further than this. Mr.. Kleine also
contends that a very large number
OF the so-called feature pictures

Notorious Swindler Is Found
Fighting in Ranks For France

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE disappearance
of the notorious Henri Rochette. who
was sentenced to three years impris-
onment in 1912 in connection with
bucketshop swindles. has been cleared
up by his arrest at Granville to-day.
Under the name of Georges Bienamee
Rochette enlisted in Paris as q motor
cNcllst in the first months of the war
and was stationed at Amiens.
The Rochettc case was one of the
most sensational in the history of the
trench courts. Rochette was arrested
in 1SOS, charged with swindling on an
enormous scale. His operations in
volved a sum of more than $4,000, 900
and at his subsequent trial it was
stated that some of the most promi-
nent men in French public life had
been either his dupeS or accomplices
A parliamentary inquiry was made into
charges that Antoine Monis. former
premier, and Joseph Caillaux, former
minister of finance, were eXerting their
influence to protect the promoter.
Rochette disappeared while out on
bail and succeeded in reaching Mexico
where, II was said, he was welcomed
by Francisco Madero, then president.
to whom he was reported to have rem
dered valuable services. The French
government demanded his eXtradition.
but Rochette was warned in time and
made sensational escape from the
police. Since that time his where
aboCts have been unknown.
