Elld TAIL really, truly mOIu-
er will play the role of her screen
parent, and even if you miss the in
PRODUCTION of the characters, you will
know it at once, for there never was
a stronger likeness between two wom-
en-. Ella Hall is just her mother over
again, only twenty years younger.
In the next Bluebird photoplay in
which Miss Hall is starred, and which
is called ga Jewel in Pawn" Mrs.
Hall plays the mother who leaves her
little daughter as a pledge in a pawn
shop. When she makes her first ap-
pearance on the screen the majority
of the audience will think that she is
Ella, playing a double role, and later
they will imagine that they are looking
at the most wonderful double exposure
work ever taken for the films. AS q
matter of fact, the resemblance be-
tween the mother and daughter is un-
usually striking, and it adds great real
ism to a picture which is absolutely
charming from the first scene to the
last. Walter BelascO, brother of the
great producer, gives a lifelike por-
trayal of the old pawnbroker, and An
trim Short is excellent as the newsboy
champion of Nora, the little girl played
by Miss Hail.

Democratic Leader Kitchen Tells
Congress OF the Gigantic
Increase.
COMES FROM THE TREASURY
The Ways and Means Commit
tee OF the House Will Meet
Today to Discuss the Bond
Certificate Bill.

Washington, Aug. 27.-According to
official statements made here today.

congress for war purposes. This state.
ment comes from the treasury depart
ment officials and was presented to
congress today by Democratic Leader
Kitchen. This will run the aggre.
gate up to about $21 900, 100000.
Secretary McAdoo has been asked
to explain the situation which re-
quires much larger sums than was
at first deemed necessary. However,
this shows that the government is
determined to acquire all necessary
moneys for the proper and success
full prosecution of the war. 1t is pre-
-s-umed that- Secretary McAdoo will
show just why such large additions
OF revenue will be required and for
what purposes the money will be ex.
pended. The ways and means com

the suggested additions.

President Takes Drastic Steps
to Stop FoOdstuffs Going
to the Enemies.
ORDER IS FAR REACHING
Chief Executive Makes it Clear
that Nothing Will be Permit
ted to Reach the Enemies
Through Neutrals.

Washington, Aug. 27.-The presi-
dent made it clear today that it is
the intention of this government to
see that no foodstuffs or other neces-
saries hereafter reach neutrals or
others who may by direct or devious
methods allow them to go to the war
enemies of this country This pro-
nouncement came in the shape of a
proclamation requiring licenses on
all meats, sugar and other most prom
inent commodities exports from this
country which might be of use in war
or in maintaining the war
The proclamation of the president
makes it clear that supplies of the
character described shall not be ex-
ported if there is even a chance of
their falling into the hands OF other
than those who are the allies or most
friendly neutrals, whose guarantee
will be required that no enemy shall
be benefited directly or indirectly.
The proclamation is the most far
reaching document affecting food and
other necessary products yet promul-
gated, and is expected to have tell
ing effect not only in the countries
certain to feel the ban that has been
place ! upon them, but also in serv-
ing to maintain prices on more equit
able levels in this country.
The proclamation specifies that Ii
censes shall be required, the exac-
tions of which will be hard to over
come by those who would like for the
sake of profit or otherwise to bene-
fit the enemies of this country and
its allies.
