ssThe Trail of the Lonesome Pine
will be played next week with Cecil
Spooner. The story of 1.-THE Trail of
the Lonesome Pine.s' Eugene Walters
great play, is familiar to millions of
book readers who love the romantic
works of the vigorous American
writer Of hctions John Fox, Jr., the
author OF THE Little Shepherd of
Kingdom Gomez
In his new play Eugene Walter has
taken the atmosphere OF the Vir ginia
hills. as well as the characters of Mr..
Fox's great story, blending them to-
gether with that consum mate dizziness
Of dramatic art and ability for which
Mr. Walter is justly famed. The play
opens with scene in the Cumberland
hills. showing the trail around the
Lonesome Pine, which. standing gaunt
and rugged like sentinel, is visible
to all in the Gap below. Hale and
Berkley, q couple of Eastern en-
gineers, have come to the Gap to de-
velop its resources of coal. iron and
limestone. intending to start a. boom
and establish a steel MISUNDERSTANDING
city, for which the place offers ideal
Inducements. Hale already has in
troduced into the new town a reform
element which has become the Falins
and TolIivers, who have terrorized
the Gap for years. and who are deter
mined to continue their lawIess pro-
cIiyities in spite Of the teF'urrins po-
1ice- The advent of law and order is
resented especially by young Dave
TolIiver. who sees in the invasion of
the Gap the end of all he is being
taught to regard as sacredAthe right
to kill an enemy-the sovereignty of
the leader of the tribe-the law of the
hills. Dave not. only expects to be
leader OF the Tol1iver clan, but he also
looks forward to making his cousin,
June, his wife. splendid part for the
popular star.

imaginative who loves the Lonesome
Pine and each morning at sunrise
and each evening at sunset she steals
away from the mountain cabin where
she was born and sits under the tree.
listening TO the signing Of the wind
In the Pine and fancying she hears
the voice Of her dead sister urging
her to go out into the world and
learn. Hale discovers June and en-
Cages her in conversation, question
ing her about her home life in the
mountains, laughing at her coy re-
plies, and enjoying her whimsical re-
marks. He wins her confidence and
encourages her to reveal more of her
thoughts and dreams, bringing out
such surprising characteristics as
depth of Observation-Disclosures and
breadth of SOUL originalIy+sO that he
finally persnades her father, who at
first resents his intrrd ding to permit
her to attend the new school at the
Gap. Her Departure from the cabin
in the mountain to the new school in
the valley has started gossip among
the facttonaT clans about her relations
with Hale. June cannot understand
all the gossip, and thinking that she
sarSt yooGs enough for Hale, sends for
her ttpa p"sto come and take her back
home. June fixes the cabin to look
a bit more attractive. and when Dave
again begss her TO marry him, she
tells him that she does not intend to
marry anyone now.
June fears Dave has shot Hale, and
when the hut is surrounded by the POI

Private Capital by Bill

Washington, ID. c.. March 9-The
Senate last night after four weeks of
debate passed the Shields bill TO pro-
vide for development of water power
i'm navigablc waters by private capital.
The vote was 46 to %. Conservation
champions fought hard to amend the
measure, but without avail. Several
Senators voted for the bill who had
opposed 1T during the debate.
AS adopted the bill permits the
construction of dams in navigable
waters under licenses issued by the
Secretary of War, and gives grantees
the right to operate power plants for
fifty years, after which time the Fed
cral government may take over the
plant, after giving two years notices
and paying a fair value to be deter
mined by the Secretary of War and
- he owner or by proceedings in the
~Snted States courts.
Regulation of rates and services is
placed with the States in which the
plants are located or, if interstate
commerce is involved, with the Inter
State Commerce Commission, on ap-
pCals when the States involved are
unable to agree on reasonable rates
and adequate service.
The bill also provides that no works
shall be operated in any combination

DESIRED FLEET
TOCOST BILLION
Upkcep of Navy Planned
Would Be $760,000,0O0;
[. S. Should Prepare
.SbeeiaL to the 1'sleerabh

: Washington, d. c., March 3. -
Approximately billion and a half
dollars for new ships and an annual
upkeep charge of $76O,OOO,O00 is
what Admiral Fletcher, commanding
the Atlantic fleet, estimates it would
cost to carry out the Navy General
Boards recommendation that the AM
orican navy should equal the most
powerful fleet afioat by not later
than 1925.
The admirars estimate was given
in testimony before the House Naval
Committee. Representative Gala
way. who brought out the statement
called attention to published reports
that Great Britain had added nearly
a million tons to her fighting ships
since the war began. lie asked If
the situation was not hopeless"
Admiral Fletcher thought not, add
ing that judging by its great wealth,
the United States could well afford to
give its interests the same protection
that other nations thought necessary.
Representative Hensley asked if a
race in building warships or in any
other mllltDrN preparation between
two nations had not invariably led TO
war. Admiral Fletcher said no. and
expressed the opinion that failure to
prepare was merely making certain
that a nation must surrender its
rights.
ForcsceS Coming End of War
Representative Galloway asked if it
was not reasonable to assume that
the European war would end within
Il year or a year and a half at most.
Admiral Fletcher thought it would.
and added that he believed the close
of the war would see the greatest op-
portunity in history for the success of
an international disarmament or
limitation of armament agreement.
lie insisted. however that the United
states could not afford TO put off its
navy building on that account"

Prices Are Lowest Now

The Syndicate fixes the price for years in ad-
vance, taking into consideration increased de-
mand, the decreasing output from the alnes
particularly of good quality stones, and the enor
mousy increasing cost OF production
Every shipment in the past twenty years has
brought higher price than the shipment pre-
cedng it.
When normal conditions are returned prices
will continue to advance, not so sharply Dos
slbly as in the past year. and in time to come
until the mines are opened. Assured1y they will
increase.
Diamond prices never have decreased
Wish the diminishing supply controlled abso-
uteiy by the worlds most formidable monopoly,
prices will always be going up.
