Although Miss Snow has been In
motion pictures for five years, she
never has had part more completely
suited to her pleasing personality be-
fore, nor one which makes greater
demands upon, her powers as a dra-
matte artistic. During the five grip
ping acts of puzzling mystery and I'M
usual romance, Miss Snow is called
upon to register nearly every mood
and emotion.
Miss Snow began her career in the
silent drama with the Tanhouser com
pany, playing small part in the first
production. She made such sue
cess of it that she was engaged fol
the leading roles in subsequent pro
auctions. Before going into pictures
Miss Snow was highly successful on
the speaking stage. She made her
debut with stock company in Salt
Lake City, and her work attracted the
attention of James ONeill, who en-
gagged her for prominent part in
Monte Cristo." She was with Mr..
O'NeilI for two seasons. She reached
Broadway in play '"The Other Eel
low" which Thomas Jefferson starred
in, and it was after this that she was
induced to try motion pictures, which
she did quite reluctantly.
Since she joined Metro she has ap-
peared in such popular pictures as

Sugar Soaring.

San Francisco Bulletin: With raw
sugar still ruling strong at $40 per
100 pounds and the eastern refineries
calling for larger shipments, it was
arranged today to send them through
the port Of San Francisco from Manila
part of the new Philippine crop OF
SUI 900 tons.
This is why the Santa Fe,

traffic officials, with the consent of
the interstate commerce commission,
announce q rate of go cents per 100
pounds from Manila to New York
and New Orleans via San francisco,

The new arrangement, according TO
the railroad people and sugar brokers

this port as a sugar center in view OF
the fact that Hawaii is already ship

SUFFRAGETTES MAY

Are Not Satisfied With the Platform

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Presi-
dent Wilson today interpreted the suf-

form as being an approval OF the suf-

ing that it should have it's inception in
the Individual states.
The president told Mrs. D. E. Hook
err, of Richmond, Va, of the Virginia
Federation of Labor. sent to Wash
ington to present resolutions urging
constitutional amendment for wom-
ems suffrage, that the democratic
plank did not necessarily disapprove
of the federal amendment ideas, but
recommended the ideas be taken UP
state by state. The Virginia fedora
ton denounced the action of the
house judiciary committee for not al
lowing the amendment question to
reach the floor. The president, how
ever, told Mrs. Hooker he did not feel
it proper that he should interfere
with the committees actions
HE believes the wiser course is t.
convert the states to suffrage first,
Mrs. Hooker said, after her confer
ence. II do not believe he is totally
opposed to federal amendment
i however"
| The presidents Interpretation Of
the platform plank came when Mrs
Hooker told him suffragists thought
the plank, seemed to be yelled In
mystery"
The president replied laughing:
'You would seem to accuse us OF In
sincerity and buncombe," and then
proceeded. Mrs. Hooker said, to eS-
plain what he thought was a proper
Interpretation of the plank.
Mrs. Hooker said If the democratic
congress does not take some action
on suffrage at this session, she feels
sorry for the democratic party.
She added that the suffrage workers
are going to get to Hughes and find
out where he stands too.

Representatives of WEIGH & Co.,
and other brokers see no relief from

Cuba is now ready with an astound-

The allies are grabbing 1t as fast
as possible, and also much OF Porto
Rico's crop of 100000 tons. China
and Japan are already contracting for
much Of the Philippine output.
The absence Of beet sugar supplies
from Germany and Austria-Hungary,
they say, is the cause Of the allies
taking so much Of the Cuba and Porto

of the high price.
