OrDlleO Theater,

Today-Enid Bennett in "Happi- ness,' Triangle-Ince play by C.. Gardner Sullivan, has the role of Doris Wingate, featured in Sunday supplements as "the richest and most snobbish girl in America"
 AS a matter of fact, she is lovable and eager for friends.
 Her uncle, a fat, jocular fellow, visits at the house and, after seeing the shedragon who tutors the girl, he determines that Doris shall go to col lege.
 Upon her arrival at the coeducation- al school she is snubbed by the stu dents, who have read the story in the Sunday papers, and are determined that she shall have no opportunity to patronize them.
 Doris meets a boy who is working his way through college by surrepti- tiOusly taking in washing. He is the first person who has ever extended the hand of good fellowship to her and she immediately begs to become a member of his "soapsuds trust, which soon is in control of happiness despite the hurricane arrival of the lynx-eyed tutor and the aristocratic aunt.

Best Theatre.

Today-George M. Cohan's new art craft picture, Seven Keys to Bald nate" means more to the motion pie ture world than probably any pro- duction that has been released this season. The reason for this is the fact that it not only presents the greatly desired and novel personality of George M. Conan to filmland, but it gives to the motion picture screen just what it most requires, namely, new type of story.
 Adapted from the book by Earl Derr Biggers, Seven Keys. to Baldpate' offers something distinctly new in photoplay stories from the pen of the versatile Conan. This famous actor author producer has termed this play mystery farce," and that is just exactly what it is. Just when the course of the story seems clear, the clever author gives it twist that dis closes an entirely unexpected theme. At times it appears to be a farce of extreme humor when suddenly it takes on dramatic aspect that quick ems the heartbeat, ending finally with a complete surprise that leaves the audience laughing not only at the play but at itself as we'll.

RURAL TEACHERS LIFE
 NOT A BED 0F ROSES
Mrs. Hawkins Recommends Minimum
 For Scholastic Age Be YearS-TO Increase Number of Gradute.s

Mrs. M. l.. Hawkins, teacher of the public school at Tucker, introduced an interesting question yesterday at the annual county teachers institute, when she proposed that seven years should be the minimum educable age, declaring that if this minimum were adopted, there would be a greater number of graduates from the hlgh schools.
 She said that too many children are advanced to the high school be- fore their minds are old enough for the higher studies.
 She presented the matter ill round table talk, and it was the consensus of opinion that she was correct in her statement of the case.
 There were three accessions to the enrolment yesterday, the additions being Miss Mary Cuolahan of Althelm- CT and Misses Gertdue Dodds and Fila Galloway of Pine Bluff.
 Walter Holmes entertained the teachers with a talk on the trials and tribulations of the rural school teach CTS, which are manifold and beyond computation. He said they nave to contend with every inconvenience known to mortal One of the greatest troubles of the rural teachers is the disposition of the boys to bring their dogs to school or allowing the canlnes to follow the children into the school room.
 Joel Lambert, county agricultural agent, representing the federal anu state departments, made all interest ing talk on the subject of teaching agriculture to the children. He said that the greatest hope for the future in this direction is through the chill dren. He also stated that the greatest influence upon the children is brought about through the school teachers,

Careless Use of
 Soap Spells the Halr

: Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any, thing else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich. creamy father, which rinses out easily. removing every particle of dust dirt; dandruf and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.

CAL0MEL PURIFIED OF OBJECTIONABLE
 EFFECTS AT LAST
Success Crowns Efforts of Pharma- ceutical Chemists to Rid Popular Medicine of Its Nauseating and Dangerous Qualities-Calotabs the New Name.

A triumph of modern pharmacy that is destined to bless the whole world, from the king on his throne to the humblest laboring man,-that is the opinion of druggists who have been watching the sale of the new calomel tablet that is wholly free from the objectionable effects of the old-style calomel.
 An occasional purifying of the system and thorough cleansing of the liver are absolutely essential to the maintenance of health, and calo- mel is the only drug that gives per manent results. Now that the un- pleasant effects are entirely re- moved, the popularity of the new cal omel, Calotabs, will be vastly increas- ed. One tablet on the tongue at bed time, swallow of water,-no taste or unpleasantness of anykind. A good nights sleep and you wake next morn ing feeling fine, with clean liver and hearty appetite. Eat what you please,-no danger.
 Calotabs are sold in original, sealed packages, twenty doses fo rthirty five cents. All druggists are authorized to refund the price if you are moi thoroughly delighted with Calotabs.- Adv.

every incentive in what lies before
them. If they do not turn out a good
job it, will be surprising. If they do
their reward will be abundant.
And yet New York, another old state
full of highly qualified men, failed only
a few years ago with a similar under
taking. Her constitution, some TWEEN
ty years old, was considered outworn,
and a convention was called to draft a
new one. Leaders Of the bar, Of bust
ness, Of labor were among the members.
Elihu Root was the guiding spirit. There
was every promise and expectation Of
an instrument Of the highest accepta-
bility and excellence.
But when the people were called upon
to pass on the work, they rejected it at
the polls by majority Of half million.
1t was the most pronounced judgment of
disapproval ever rendered at the ballot
box in the history Of the state; and the
friends of the work were stupefied. And
so the outworn instrument is still doing
duty.
The Bay state sages must have care
if their work is to pass under the glass
of the electorate. They should remem-
Der New York, and, If possible, be wise.

A convention to frame a new consti-

the Bay state.
When this work is done it will prob
ably attract wide attention. Massachu-
sets is one of the original states, has
produced and nourished many men of
high capacity for government, and, upon
the whole, has a very excellent record
for conducting state affairs. Presum-
ably, the membership of this conven-
tion will show the pick of her sons for
the task in hand.
In sixty-four years much water has
gone under the bridge in Massachusetts
and elsewhere. The civil war has been
fought, and several very important
amendments have been added to the Ma
tional Constitution. Many new states,
each with constitution suited to its
resources and conditions, have been
added to the Union. Massachusetts her
self has made wonderful strides as a
commonwealth.

The Easily Bought Pistol Again.

Yesterday in this city jealous wife
shot another woman, desperately wound
ing her. According to accounts Of the
tragedy the two women recently had
conference and Immediately afterward
the wife went off and purchased pistol
with which she later made the deadly
assault upon her rival. Where did she
get that CUNT 1t is really immaterial
just at what particular place she bought
it, for she might have got it at any one
of many places in this city where dead
ly weapons can be purchased for small
prices without any other formality than
the giving Of a name and an address.
Had properly protective law been in
force here, such as has been urged for
years, this woman could not have bought
the weapon without going through the
process of obtaining a permit from some
person in authority.
Many lives have been sacrificed in
Washington because of the ease with
which pistols and ammunition can be
bought by persons inf1amed with anger
or with drink In most Of these cases
the shootings would not have occurred
if it had been necessary to obtain per-
mits to purchase weapons before buy
ing them at the local shops. This
would have cut down the sales Of guns
and cartridges somewhat, but it would
have saved lives. There is no logical
argument against the proposal to inter
pose the permit to buy between the in
individual and the gun shop. It does
not interfere with the constitutional
right Of the people to "bear arms" nor
does it prevent self defense. It simply
puts check upon those who are muir
derously inclined, compelling them to go
before a designated official and attest
to the need and prove character, a proc
ess that may take twenty four hours,
and that in all cases Of legitimate need
will not in any degree initiate against
the safety Of the citizen.

The Reserve Officers.

If there are any who have doubt as
to the ability of this government to or
game an army quickly and to officer it
efficiently they should have witnessed the
parade Of the Confederate veterans yes
terday in this city, the most impressive
feature of which was the 9Th Provisional
Regiment Of Reserve Officers, now in
training at Fort Myer. These men went
into camp one month ago. Some of them
had had previous military instruction
at Plattsburg and elsewhere, but many
of them were fresh from civil life, with
out drill or training. They marched
yesterday like veteran troops. They
were as fire body Of men as ever pa
raded on Pennsylvania avenue. They
were a reinsurance that the new army,
the army that is to 60 forth to fight
Americas war for human liberty, will be
worthy of the best traditions of the re-
public.
In one month these men have been
transformed from civilians into soldiers.
They are perhaps not yet the finished
product, but yesterdays appearance GER
tainly showed them to be capable Of
precision Of movement, which is the
first essential in military training.
These men will soon be commissioned
to command units in the army to be
created from the draft Knowing them
selves the duties Of soldiers, they will
be competent to command others. The
intensive drill at Fort Myer has worked
wonders.
Yesterdays march Of the Reserve
Corps was especially interesting, in that
it was the first time that the people Of
Washington have had an opportunity
to see a military force at full war
strength of three platoons to a COM
pany of $50 men. 1t was notable, too,
for the fact that these men marched at
the quicker cadence adopted by the
British army, which is somewhat like
the short step of the zouave corps Of
years ago and is believed to be more
effective for field maneuvers.
In a few weeks bodies Of men Just
like those who yesterday thrilled the
crowds along Pennsylvania avenue will
be in training at various camps through
out this country. It may take two years
to make q soldier according to the strict
standard Of the professional military in
structor, but the progress that has been
made at Fort Myer in the training Of
officers indicates that in the emergency
that now confronts the country an eff
fective army can be brought into being
much more quickly.
