Society girls, schoolgirls, girls from
small towns and big towns around
about Los Angelica, were recruited by
Thomas H. lnce for the beauty brigde
that is an important factor in the pre-
tentious roof garden scene of 1.-The
Clodhopper, the latest Triangle play
starring Charles Ray In addition to
these, professional dancers and cabaret
entertainers were engaged. The anna.
tours were pressed into service as
"ponies" and "show girls" AMI were
rehearsed for several days in the
"Clodhopper Dance" in which they
were led by Ray. BY the atime the
scene was ready for filming they were
as perfectly timed in their convolu-
tions as any flock of "Follies" girls.
To have stepped on to the enormous
glass inclosed stage while the scene
was being photographed a person
would almost have believed that lit

planted to the orange blossom zone.
Men and women in evening clothes
sat about the tables illumine5 with

THE HOOVER BOARD
Opposes Taking Of Oysters Fleets By
Navy Department Would Save
By Oyster Boats.

Steps have been taken by the Fed
eral Food Administration to forestall
the Communicating of the Chesapeake
Bay fishing and oyster fleets by the
Navy Department for war purposes
The Hoover PICARD desires that these
vessels be allowed to continue their
present work in order to increase the
output of seafood to take the place of
the waning animal meat supply.
The oyster season in the Chesapeake
Bay and in other waters will open
next month. The food board considers
it important that the oyster boats be
unmolsested by the Navy Department.
It wants every ship engaged in dredg-
ing oysters and in fishing to redouble
its energies to increase the food
supply.
When the question was taken up
with a number of large fishing con-
Germs the statement was made that the
Navy Department has made a survey
of the fishing fleets md likely to
take over many of the vessels at any
time.

Douglas Fairbanks in his latest
comedy "Wild and Woolly" will be
the very pleasing attraction at the
Colonial Theater tomorrow, matinee
and evening. Even the many admir-
ers of Douglas Fairbanks who are ia
miliar with his daredevil stunts will

"Wild and Woolly.' Leaping from q
porch of house on to q moving train
that is averaging forty miles an hour
is but one of the many thrills perform
ed by the athletic star in his latest
film.
Another startling scene 10 presented
ina fight on horseback in which
Douolas proves the victor This is
undoubtedly one of the most remarks-
bic bits of its kind ever staged and
shows the daring actor leaping from
one galloping pony to struggle with
the rider of another horse going at
break.neck speed Starting in New
York and ending IN California, the pic
ture discloses variety Of metropoli-
tan and western scenes presenting the
proper backgrounds of the story. In
ssWild and Woolly," Douglas Fair
banks presents q remarkable display
of cowboy accomplishments depicted
in his own inimitable style.

CANE SUGAR PRICE
YET TO BE FIXED
Bulk Of Supplies Comes From That
Source Big Beet Sugar Profit
Al II Cents a Pound

NJ - (CulS q i uUHU
The announcement that the govern
ment had reached an agreement with
beet sugar producers by which the
price OF sugar had been fixed at ~
cents a pound was we'll received in
the sugar trade II is expected that
the next step win be TO make similar
arrangements with the cane sugar
people. and their Price probably will
be one-Quarter cent higher. as is GUS
tomary in the trade.
The American beet sugar crop
amounts to approximately $50. 900 tons
year, as compared with 1856, 900
tons. the total of all sugars refined in
this country II will therefore be seen
that settling the beet sugar problem
disposes of only a quarter of the
whole sugar situation. Most of the
cane sugar used by American refiners
comes from Cuba.
The current high prices" said a
Representative of a large refner, are
due to the concentration on Cuban
cane sugars because of the inability
on account of the lack of ships. 10 i'm
port sugars from Java as usual The
pinch is based on supply and demand.
and is largely due TO the fact that
Cuba will produce 100000 tons less
than originally estimated. For this
the revolution is in measure re-
sponsible.v
That the beet sugar producers will
make money at the price fixed by the
Food Administration is indicated by
the fact that, while they will receive
IA cents, their cost of production will
not be over A cents a pound, the diff
ference being their profit These
figures were given by sugar expert,
-who pointed out that his estimate OF
the cost was liberal The annual re-
port of the American Beet Sugar Com
pany for the yea. ended March 81,
1917, gives 1888 cents as the average
cost of production
An agreement with. the packers, by
which meat will be placed under con-
troll md prices stabilized and reduc-
ed, may be reached soon. Herbert c.
Hoover has returned fsom Chicago,
where he conferred with representa-
tives of the Federal Trade Commits
sion, who have been making an inves-
tigation of conditions there, and with
the packing interests 1t is under
stood that he told the packers the
powers he was ready to use if neces-
sary.
A reply to this ultimatum is ex-
pected soon, and it may form the
basis of an agreement which will be
given a trial by the Food Administra-
ton before drac;ic measures are
taken. Mr.. Hoover is determined to
see that the pubic benefits if it is
possible to decrease prices at the

Mutt and Jeff At Colonial Friday.

A sense of humor possessed by Louis
Merkle the JEFF Of Bud Fishers new
est cartoon comedy, Mutt and jeff
Divorce due here at the Colonial on
Friday. caused thousand people to
laugh one day last week.
A part of the roadway had been
torn away for repairs to manhole.
A number of blocks of the Belgian va
riety had been taken from the torn
street. These blocks, as every one
who observes knows. are close filters,
each dovetailing into open squares,
and with tar between forming into
solid roadbed. Comedian Merkle not
ing the excavators repair to a nearby
saloon for refreshments at a preiod of
their work, secretly took two blocks
from the rubble pile Of which they
were part, and hid them Shortly
thereafter the road builders returned
to their task. The repairs finished,
the men started to relay the blocks.
When they discovered vacuum, there
was hullabaloo Composed for the
most part of Italians. the gang grew
gesticulatory and vociferous. They
didn't understand. The pile of blocks
lad originally been sufficient to cover
the piece of roadbed torn up, and now
they weren't sufficient to cover the
spot. Again and again. one genius
after another struggled with the prob
lem of making blocks span the empty
space, but always there was blank.
Finally in despair the men again
repaired to the saloon. Before they
emerged, the comedian put the blocks
back. The men tried again and OF
course, this time succeeded. Tableau
and more excited gesticulstion.

MOVING PICTURE ATTRACTIONS.


Harold lockwood in q splendid pic
turization of Clarence B. Kelland's
popular novel, 1.-THE Hidden Spring. .
|-Hembly,a man without q conscience,
is the ruler of the town of Copper
City, and has made himself rich at the
hands OF the poorer population and
those who worked In his copper mills.
Keeth. young lawyer, arrives in
town. The Hidden Spring within. him
is touched when Hembly kicks his dog
after a quarrel with Keeth. The
young lawyer refuses to leave town
and also warns Hembly that he will
fight him to see that the people get
their rights.
The only one to side with him Is
Thors Erickson, the daughter Of
Hembly's henchman. The only way
Keeth can get at HemblY is to discover
who blew up log jam some years be-
fore. Keeth has an opportunity of
rescuing man, and in gratitude the
man confesses that he was the one
who dynamited the jam at the instiga
tioh of Hembly. With the courts and
the lawyers in the palm of his hand.
Hembly is saved, but the result upon
the people is evident In rage they
capture Hembly and place him upon
the whipping post. He is rescued by
Keeth, who forces full confession of
all his crimes from him and then 81
lows him to leave town. Keeth is
made district attorney, and Thora
becomes his bride. and Copper City,
from then on, becomes place worth
while.
Plenty Of action and tense moments,
together with a strong and appealing
story. mark THE Hidden Spring" as
a thoroughly entertaining feature. II
is not sonly entertaining from the
standpoint of the plot. but the fact
that there runs throughout q vim of
psychology adds an interesting factor
to the plot development.
Keeth enters the town really afraid.
and not until his pet dog is viciously
kicked is he thoroughly stirred up to
such an extent as to allow his will to
carry him on until the final victory.
Harold Lockwood fills the bill entirely
as the young lawyer. His work is
offered easily and convincingly THE
Hidden Spring" has a far reaching
appeal, and is dramatic and thrilling,
with plenty of suspense that makes
this picture truly pleasing Offering.
