THEFORTUNEs OF FIFI.

One of the many reasons which makes Marguerite Clark so irresist- ibly charming on the screen is the fac. that she seem to have no limit of yer satility. The more roles she plays in Famous Players productions, the more she seems to increase her mastery of the art of screen acting. Always charming, she possesses the rare gift of approaching each new characteri- ration with fresh viewpoint and of enacting her role in some new and unexpected manner.
 The fact that she is playing an actress on the screen for the first time in "The Fortunes of Fifi," which is her latest Famous Players Para mount picture to be shown at the Or pheum Theatre, lends added interes.. to this photoplay. How will Miss Clark play the role of an actress? Of course she will do it charmingly, but it will be interesting to know just how she will do this most difficult of all roles upon the screen.

CADILLAC SOLVES
 HEADLIGHT PROBLEM

Nearly every state has passed laws to regulate the glaring headlight menace but it seems that it remained for the Cadillac to adopt plan which solves the problem in an eminently practical manner.
 The new device is not in the nature of dinner or diffuser of light, Rather it is simple arrangement by which the driver of the car by means of small lever under the steering wheel controls the position of the re- flectors in the headlamps, therefore directing the light rays.
 In the normal position, the strong light rays are pointed straight ahead. Upon meeting an oncoming motorist, the reflectors are tilted so that the rays are directed to point about thir- ty feet in front of the car.
 This not only complies with the law by eliminating the glare but it concen- trates the light directly in front of the car, where it is most needed when meeting other vehicles.
 The device has been approved by the New York State Motor Federation as meeting the requirements of the Hew- it headlight law which went into ef feet August first.

JAP COTTON MILLS IN CHINA.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-(Spe- cial correspondence)-Japan has hit upon a policy with respect to cotton manufacture which may we'll cause anxiety in the minds of our own cot. ton manufacturers who are beginning to realize that the burden of expense in transporting raw cotton from China to Japan, and carrying back the fin ished yarn or woven fabrics to Chi ma, is coming to be too heavy to meet the competition of Chinese mills. Therefore they are investing their money in the construction of mills in China with a view to escaping these transportation charges and at the same time availing themselves of Chi nese labor, the cheapest in the world.
 A Texas cotton expert recently em- ployed by the Chinese government to report on cotton-growing possibilities in that country, declares that China can readily raise twice as much cot ton, of excellent quality as can the state of Texas, where the average runs from 3,0O0,00O to 5,OO0,OOO bales. And they can do it at one tenth the labor cost. With Japan talk ing advantage of this cheaper raw ma terial and far cheaper mill labor, American operators have good reason to anticipate competition of the most vicious sort right in our home mar ket unless steps are taken to ward it off. This prospect alone will strengthen the adherence of cotton manufacturers, both north and south, to the republican party and it's policy of protection to home industries.

anese poles has just come in by sail ing vessel round the Horn. He also declares that his firm used to bring in some 15,000 cheap shotguns year from Belgium. "Under the Demo- ocratic tariff that importation might have been resumed if the war had not interfered." The present tariff law made re- duction of 33 per cent on fishhooks and fishing-tackle. During the first years operation of that law imports increased IS per cent, and in 1915, 2s per cent over 1913. Norway and the United Kingdom got the trade. Last year, 1916, imports from Nor way increased 80 per cent over the protective year, regardless of risks incident to the submarine. No one got fishing tackle any cheaper.
 Shotguns, under the Republican law paid compound duties, scaled ac- cording to the value of the guns. The Democrats have never been able to understand the principal underlying the levying of compound duties so they put S5 per cent duty on all double-barreled breech-loading shot guns. If it is any consolation to this Philadelphia importer he is advised that if the Democratic tariff law can be retained after the war is over he can make more money on his imports of Belgian, or other guns, by absorb ing the duty and covering it into his profits, charging his customers all that the tariff will stand. That is ex- aetly what all importers of foreign products do. But there is an ever in creasing belief that the present tariff law is going to be kicked into obliv- ion between now and 1920, and the Republicans will do the kicking.

BIG MAN SIDETRACKED.

There seems a certain incapacity of management in permitting the re- tirement of Goethals. That is the hardest feature of the affair to ac- cept.
 The fight with Denman was per- mitted to go on, and on, to the cost of this country's most obvious and necessary duty-to build ships. "Goethals," they said in Washington, Hammered at the door of the white house for a week before he could get five minutes talk" At the end of all this postponement comes violent explosion that costs the country the services of all concerned.
 Goethals may have had faults of temperament, as men said at Pana- ma, but he has done the worlds biggest job, done it we'll and holds the confidence of the public. In the loss of this confidence and the waste of precious time is the principal practical cost to the country.
 These losses are redeemed to some extent by the admirable quality of two appointments made to fill the vacancies. Admiral Capps is our foremost naval constructor and Mir. Hurley is in energy, administrative ability and mental breadth as big a man as there is in service anywhere in Washington.
 We are sorry to see the president give one of the vacant places to MT. Bainbridge Colby, as the gift is so evidently a reward for Mir. Colby's attempted deal to turn the bull moose organization over to Wilson. We shall be sorry, too, if the president decides to retain Brent, the New Orleans banker, who is counted the main in. spiration of the southern plan to take a lot of journeymen carpenters and build ships on sublet contracts out of trees in which the birds still nest.
 The president could not afford Colby's appointment; he cannot af- ford to keep Brent.
 For over against these patent ev- idences of personal, partisan and sec- tional feeling the people will begin soon to set the list of their ''big men" of the opposite political faith who are being gradually set to one side, out of the main stream of national service. Today we see pigmies like Colby and Brent given opportunity to serve and giants like Roosevelt, Wood and now Goethals, shunted onto the idle sidetracks.
 Neither Mir. Wilson nor the country can afford to have this go on indef- initely.-Washington Evening Post.

BADLY INJURED
Freight Train and Motor Car
Have Head-End Collision

Stewart Huffman, foreman of
the Hico section of the n. G. g
St. L. railway, was the victim Of
an unfortunate accident last We'd
nesday morning. Together with
his crew of hands. while on a mo-
tor car, be was trying to make a
certain point near the second tres
tie this side Of Hico before time
for a freight train to pass, just
as they approached the trestle, GO
ing at a very rapid speed, the
freight train dashed around a
sharp curve and bore down on them
with such speed, the freight and
motor car both running fast, that
there was nothing to do but jump
from the car.
In trying to jump Mr.. Huff
mans left arm was caught under
his car and was badly crushed be-
low the elbow. The bones were
broken and the flesh and muscles
badly mashed and bruised. He
was otherwise bruised. He was
brought to Huntingdon and taken
to DR.. Wright's Office for treat
ment.
Mr.. Huffman did not want his
arm taken off and the local doc
tors thought it best to send him to
to be treated BY the rail-
road physicians in the company's
hospital. DIR. Wright accompa-
MED him to Nashville.
Horace Hill was also badly
bruised up but not seriously. Sew
eral negroes were also slightly in
jured. Nearly all of the crew
jumped into water.
