WAR TAX AT MOVIES.
Princess and Empire to Charge Addi-
tional Cent for Each Admission of 10
Cents or Fraction.

Beginning Yesterday the Princess and
Empire moving picture theatres must
charge an increased price for admis-
sion to their entertainments to cover
the war tax. On each Decent adns-
sion they must charge one cent, and
for each admission over 10 cents and
up to 90 cents a tax of two cents must
be charged. This will make the regular
l0-cent ticket cost Il cents and the
regular lj-cent ticket II cents. Chill
dren's five.ceDt tickets will cost six
cents.
There was some talk of increasing
the regular admission price so that the
tickets and taxes together would come
to Is and 20 cents, avoiding tha use Of
coppers, but this will not be done for
the present.
On Thursdays and Fridays the Prin-
cess theatre puts on special 15-eent ut.
fractions, so on those days the tickets
will cost II cents hereafter.

He paid an especial tribute to Herbert c. Hoover for his Belgian relief work.
 The purpose of our visit to this country" said the Baron. ''is to ex- press to your government and people the heartfelt gratitude of Belgium for the generous outpouring of material assistance and sympathy which have gone so far to save my stricken countrymen from the horrors of fam inc and to maintain their unshaken courage in this hour of trial.
 'Our warm gratitude to you for this help will never cool, but you are now adding still more to our great debt. Our people, saved from famine, still groan under the yoke of a merciless invader. Your entry into the war not only brings to us the satisfaction of finding in an old friend new ally but fires us with complete confidence in an early and victorious issue of the great struggle which has brought to my country so much of misery and suffering.
 '.In voicing my country's gratitude I am happy to be able to pay tribute of admiration and affection to MT. Hoover, under whose able and untiring direction the great work of feeding Belgium was carried on. We now re- joice for you that man so eminently fitted by ability and experience should be at your service in handling the great food problems that confront you"
