UNIQUE BILL AT B. F. KEITH'S
Gertrude Hoffman and Company Top
PROGRAM That Is Delightful.

As the headline act at B. F. keith's
this week Gertrude Hoffman and
large company of dancers, barefoot
and otherwise, present a whole show
by themselves.
This principal attraction lasts for
one hour and the Stars and Stripes
figures prominently in one Of the
numbers. Aside from the East In
dian dances and Mendelssohn's
Spring Song" in which Miss Hoff-
man scores, the diving act Is thrill
er and affords a chance for several
rivals of Annette Kellerman to get
into the limelight.
Miss Hoffman's revue this year is
more pretentious than ever before
and the CO stumes are beautiful. As
for the scenic effects several might
be termed urbanesque. Pat Rooney
and Marion Beat are back again and
they scored hit with the first
nighters. The "aside" humor of the
former is decidedly clever and his
dancing is unique. Their, act is en-
tftIed a second edition OF "aI the
News Stand"
Bessie and Harriet Rempel lead In

picting the inner selves OF boy and
girl who like the white lights.
Another number that merited
plaudits is presented by Bert Savoy

of the successful acts staged other
years by the Russell Brother.
Val and Ernie Stanton jutify the
cute things said of them by the pro-
gram maker. They are "Droll Dairy
Dills7 and tI.lir act is classy. Wal
lace Bradley and Grette Ardine have
a dancing skit in which bicycle riding
by the young man is featured. The
Brosds open the show with acrobatic
numbers. The fifteenth episode of
"Patria." starring Mrs. Vernon Castle,
completes an all around good bill.

MID-CITY CITIZENS
PROBE MILK SUPPLY
Take Up Investigation Of. I'M
portation and Sale of
Inferior Grades.

A thorough investigation into the
milk situation In Washington II
being made by the Mid-City Citizens
Association.
This action was determined upon at
a meeting last night when President
A. J. Driscoll directed the attention
OF the association to the importation
and sale here OF milk from farms
without permits, and urged that
prompt steps be taken against viola
tors Of the law. The question was
referred to the committee on law and
Legislation with instructions to inyes-
tigate and report at the next meet
ing.
"a standard has been set for the
quality of milk brought into Wash
ington, but much OF the product now
being sold here Is authoritatively re
ported to be OF inferior grade" said
Mr.. Driscoll
az will not insist on action at this
time. but move to refer this matter
to the committee on law and legisla-
tion, for a report at the next meet
ing"
The motion was adopted unanimous
ly. Attorney Charles g Shreve, presi-
dent of the Federation of Citizens As
sociations, Is chairman OF the COM
mittee.
Charles 8. Nesbit, commissioner OF
insurance for the District, talked
briefly OF the investigation he has
been making into the food situation.
'I have reached two important con-
clusions," said Mr.. Nesbit. First, that
the world Is short OF food; and sec
ond, that next year this country will
produce less food than II has for.many
years" Scarcity of farm labor was
given as one reason for this condi-
tion.
President Driscoll said earlier in
the evening that the Mid-City Citizens
Association was the father OF the
present city garden movement and
he Estimated that there were now be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 gardens In
and around Washington.

to introduce the entire company in
a novel burlesque entertainment.
Triple Beds" is the title of tine
closing act, which revolves around
the escapades of three married men.
To Ben Pierce and William a. Wes-
ton are assigned the comedy roles,
and they fill them capably, while Per-
rim Somers, Ed Jordan, Frank Peck
and William Cronauer add talent to
the show.
Helen Vreeland, n dainty Connecti-
cut miss, with delightful voice, car
ried the house by storm with her
songs. Tillie Storke and Toddy
Stern led the good looking chorus
in a number of ensembles.
The feature of the olio is the nau-
tical novelty provided by the six
diving bellies, who do all sorts of div
ing stunts" in a big tank. Pierce.

BErTERTHANCkLOMEl
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
q Harmless Sub titute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel-are a mild but
sure laxative, and their effect on the
liver is instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomeL His efforts brought out
these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? CaIomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation
and disordered liver. Take DR.. Ed

president of the National Capital Mill
tary College. The drills will be held

Heretofore the drills have been held

change in location is made, according
to Major Bomar, because OF the small

May /, will bid formal farewell to
their students In the old Central High

PRINCESS PAT" Is
WELL RECEIVED
Nothing Changed in Produc-
ton Except Cast Since 1t
Was Shown Here.

With melody its predominate note,
princess Pat" returned to the Be
lasco last night to receive again the
spontaneous welcome accorded 1t
upon the first Capital showing last
season.
Nothing was changed in the pro-
duction except the cast, and the gen.
eral excellence of the current per-
sonnel suffers little from the original
company. The presence in Washing
toni OF the British high commission
found recognition in the abundant
display OF the British and Freneh
colors, the playing of national airs
of the allies, and the finale proved
fitting climax to the evening when
the entire company, waving American
flags, sang THE Star-Spangled Ban
ner."
Blanche Duffield, OF moderately
statuesque figure, exceptionally pleas
ing voice, and personality OF much
charm, sings the titular role, scorine
most effectively in Love Is Best
of ,"-'T Need Affection" and Two
Laughing Irish Eyes" Her duets
with David Quixano,, whose "Neapoli-
tan Love Song" was given abundant
and merited applause, also proved
most attractive.
Role Well Taken.
The second feminine role was well
taken by the charming Eva Fallon,
whose voice was Of delightful fresh
ness. Miss Isabel Jason in the small
part Of a French maid was the only
other feminine member of the cast

in a duet with William ouimby, an
English butler, under the timely title
of "Allies."
The comedy, what there was Of IT.,
was supplied chiefly by Alexander
Clark, as the town constable, with an
original mode of locomotion, and Os-
car Figman, as the general fixer OF
the matrimonial troubles Ben Ken
bricks, as the rich German suitor,
also was supplied with many bright
lines, and other parts OF prominence
were well taken by Jack Pollard and

House leaders have decided def

Administration bill for permanent
Government Dictatorship over wire

specifically requests IL.
It was learned today that the
House Merchant Marine Committee
believes the President already has
power enough over radio stations to
prevent their use in time OF war.
The principal feature of the bill is
its provision for eventual Govern
ment ownership of radio companies.
This feature is not considered by the
committee to be strictly war legis-

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspicu-
Gus thing about us and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. II we are very
careful in hair washing, we will have
virtually no hair troubles. An espe-
cialIy fine shampoo for this weather,
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair, that dissolves and
entirely removes all dandruff, excess
oil and dirt, can easily be used at
trifing expense by simply dissolving
a teaspoonful of canthrox (Which you
can get at any druggists) in a cup
Of shampoo liquid, enough so IT is
easy to apply 1t to all the hair In
stead of just the top OF the head.
This chemically dissolves all i'm
purities and creates a soothing, cool
ing lather. RinsIng leaves the scalp
spotlessly clean, soft and plant,
while the hair takes on the glossy
richness of natural color, also n
fuffiness which makes 1t seem much
heavier than 1t is. After a canthrox
shampoo, arranging the hair is q
pleasure.-Advt.

COTTON.
New Orleans Market.

New Orleans, July l6.-Rains in
Texas and Oklahoma created a wave Of
selling in the cotton market here today
under which prices fell 81 to 70 points
in the first half hour Of business.
The tone on the opening was weak
and the market had little or no SUI
port from any source.
Foreign political news also had an
unsettling effect.
The decline on the active months was
widened 10 to so points. but toward
noon, a steadier feeling and increased
demand developed. Prices recovered
partially and stood 81 TO 81 points un.
der Saturdays finals.
Claims that the dryest sections Of
Texas had not received rains needed
steadied the market this afternoon. At
1880 prices showed a net loss Of so to 5S
POINTS.
