Ramona" Will
Take Day Off

Romano" Clune's film produc-
ton of Helen Hunt Jackson's ro-
name, which opened a weeks en-
gagement at the Tacoma theater
Sunday, will not be shown today
owing to the presentation there
tonight of 1.-THE Messiah" but
will be shown again Friday and
Saturday at 2:20 and $3.50.
Ramona" wins its way on its
merits as a romance, without the
accomplishment of outside SEN
sationalism. 1t has no suggestion
of immortality, makes no appeal
to political prejudice nor patriot
ism, and has no propaganda. 1t
tells a wonderfully sweet story
and tells it well.

Paris Feb. '. 12 n.-The funeral today of eleven victims of the reccn1 Zeppelin raid on Paris. held in the Church of NOtrc Dame De La CrOiN at Menilmontant brought out an i'm lnense throng. Cardinal Annette, Arch bishop of Paris, the celebrant of the Louis J. Malvy, minister of the in terior spoke in the name of the gov ernment.
 The chief discourse was pronounced by Adrien Mithouard, president of the municipal council, in the nama of the city of Paris, at whose expense the obsequies were held
 ''In deciding to bury these inno- cent victims' said M. Mithouard. "the city of Paris has not only obeyed the prompting of a generous compass sion; she wished to preserve from oblivion the memory of an expi- able crime. She wishes to raise a mon ument that will recall without ceas- ing to the generations to come that France has for a neighbor nation unworthy of the great ambitions she pursues, inhuman to the point Of do- ing evil for pIeasure-the only coun- try in the world and in history that has consecrated in it's language a monstrous word to express the joy Of doing harm.

 MOTHER POISON
Mrs. Ann Goodwin Made HI By Ac- cidentally Taking Wrong
 Draught.

Mrs. Anna Goodwin of f Washing ton Place had a narrow escape from death yesterday when her daughter gave her dose of poison, accident ally mistaking it for cough medicine
 As soon as she had taken the poison Mrs. Goodwin was thrown into a proxsy1n of pain and Dr. D. w. O'Connell was hurried to her home. He applied emergency treatment and succeeded in relieving the woman.
 It is thought that the poison given Mrs. Goodwin was some weak SOlu ton containing hydrochloric acid. AL though the giving of the wrong medi cine was result of carelessness Mrs. Goodwins daughter cannot be blamed for negligence inasmuch as the poison bottle had on it label bearing the name of cough medicine.
 Mrs. Goodwin was quite comfort able today.

MAYOR DISAPPOINTED
Counted His Commissioners Before They Agreed to Serve and Must Now Get Out and Hustle All Over Again

Sitting in front of mahogany desk and appointing commissioners is nice little game, if it succeeds. Once in a while the best laid plans of mice men and mayors are wrecked by talk ing too much for granted.
 This has been the case in regard to the board of public safety, which has been a thorn in the flesh of Mayor George A. Quigley. The mayor thought how nice it would be to have Carlisle H. Baldwin for chairman of the safety board. He allowed himself to enjoy roseate dreams with Mr. Baldwin yielding the gavel. But when the mayor put it up to MT. Bald win the latter threw up his hands and informed his honor that he did not care for the position. Mayor Quiz lev planned to have MT, Baldwin re- sign from the chairmanship of the city hall commission and take the chairmanship of the other board but, according to MT. BaldWin's statemt rt, he does not intend to accept. Per- haps it is just as well for the mayo, that such is the situation, as MT. Bald win is a man with a mind of his own and would not stand for any inter- ference in the boards deliberations or decisions by anyone, even the mayor.

 Declares

Cincinnati, Feb. 7-Possibilities of general scarcity of merchandise con- sequent upon the soaring cost of raw materials affected by war con- ditions are to be considered at the seventh annual exposition of the Man ufacturers and Importers association of America, which opened here today
 The price tendency is decidedly upward and will be for some time to come" said Wm. Brombere of Chicago, secretary of the association in discussing the objects of the expo sition; "but it is not so much a uues- ton of prices as of getting goods to stock retailers shelves. The factor ies are flooded with orders but the prices of material are hitting the sky'
 The possibility of a merchandise famine, he said, confronted the coun- try.
 During the convention, which will last a week more than two hundred lines of merchandise will be displayed.
