lines along which you should work,
whenever you have the chance. Many
OF the noncommissioned officers In the
national army will be chosen, not only
beause of the knowledge or skill they
already possess, but also because they
show capacity for further development
and for leadership.

CAKE PRESENTATION
To FIREMAN DELAYED
Mrs. Kelly Too III to Cook After Be-
ing Overcome by Fire.

Instead OF receiving cake from
Mrs. Pearl Kelly. who promised the
fremen at the First Engine Company
yesterday a specimen Of her baking
as a slight token OF her appreciation
for the saving of her life, the crew Of
No. engine last night were the re-
cipients OF a special delivery letter
from Mrs. Kelly. telling them that
owing TO sickness she was unable to
bake the cake yesterday and post
poning the presentation Of the present
until today.
Lieut.. Gibbs, of Engine Company
No. ], added another to his long string
of lives saved Friday when he rescued
Mrs. Kelly from suffocation in fire
at 1l2s L street northwest after she
had entered a room on the third floor
of the house in search Of her son, who
had set fire to a mattress when play
ing with matches. Lieut.. Gibbs found
the woman stretched across the bed
PROSTATE and frothing at the mouth.
The lieutenant carried the eoo-pound
PROSTATE form two flights of steps.
where he was met by sergt. Anderson,

There can be no doubt that to men,
at least, a clear complexion is the
most attractive feature in women.
Pascal says that IL Cleopatra's nose
had ben longer by an Inch the
course of history would have been
changed, and, adds a noted English
dern1a tologist, with equal reason 1t
may be affirmed that If the Serpent
OF old Nile had suffered from
rosacea. the battle of Actium would
never have been fought" And 1t is
said that Napoleon, at a critical stage
of the battle of Waterloo, had to re-
tire to apply a cooling lotion he was
in the habit of using. Apparently on
so slight a thing as a rash may the
destiny of nations hinge.
The complexion is great tale
bearer and men are subconsciousiy
attracted to rosy cheeks and lips,
bright eyes and hair because they
spelA splendid vitality, buoyancy and
an enduring youth. 1t Is because
these charming physical attributes,
summed up in the word complexion,
are so pitifully rare. that many are
deceived by counterfeits. or. at best,
accept pale sickly countenances or
those that betray, by facial blemishes
of one kind or another, markedly
careless indifferent habits Of life and
therefore a precarious state of health.
Indeed, it is not too much to assert
that were every candidate for mar
rage to insist that the chosen one
possess an absolutely healthy skin
there would be fewer divorces. This
seems a sweeping statements. yet the
color of the face reveals the condi-
ton OF the system.
As I said before, the complexion
is a notorious tale-bearer. Physi-
clans from time immemoral have
recognized this principle and re-
gard color-changes as symptomatic
of certain diseased or abnormal
conditions. To a practised eye the
slightest deviation from the normal
is significant.
Women have ever been concern
ed as to the appearance of their
skin, more particularly that of the
face, but unhappily not from the
point of view of health. Well do
they know that to be colorless is
to be unattractive, and that the
judicious use of make up fire.

plain Jane into a beauty. at least
for the time being. However much
they may regret the necessity for
such obvious artifciality. their inner
consciousness assures them that the
allurement of heavily lidded lang
urous eyes and subtly mystifying
color effects are in themselves en-
sharing, that the male, so easily be-
guiled, has no wish beyond posses
sing these obvious superficialities.
Aside from its social value, a
good skin has a decided commercial
asset. Cutaneous blemishes. quite
innocent in character, are frequent
ly mistaken for more serious dis
eases and often cause loss of ones
occupation, interference with ones
progress and may bring about life
long disappointments and unhappi-
ness.

What Monterey Did with a Whale.

Monterey. California. has solved the
question of what TO do with a stray
whale that is washed up on shore.
After disposing Of the flesh and OIL to
a refinery, the bones may be mounted
on shore and kept as a permanent nat
ural history exhibit.
That is what the city officials did
with a whale which was washed
ashore there, according to the August
Popular Science Monthly. II was
welcomed with open arms and the
bones were saved as an educational
feature for the benefit Of the school
children of the city and for interested
adults.
Since there was no building available
large enough to accommodate II, IL
was set up in an open lot and fenced
in.

Since regimental and company on
GERS have full responsibility for the
efficiency OF their teams they are
given corresponding authority in pro-
noting men from the ranks to posi-
tions as noncommissioned officers.
For all practical purposes their judg-
ment as to the men under them Is
regarded as final
One point as to which you may feel
assured is the earnest desire Of every
officer to give promotion to the men
who are best qualifed-in other words,
to select the men who have cultivated
the soldierly qualities and in addition
to show capacity for further develop
ment and for leadership. The officers
are fully as much interested In pro-
noting men on the basis of merit as
any of the men are interested in Sc
curing promotion. For the officers
own burdens are lightened and their
success is increased almost in direct
proportion to their ability to promote
the right men.
Chance for Promotion.
The first rank above private is cor
poral. The corporal should be a real
leader He Is expected to be more
familiar with the various manuals
and regulations and with the duties
of the men In the squad than are
the men themselves. He Is expected
also to use his influence strongly in
the building up of soldierly qualities
among these men.
Among the qualifications which all
noncommissioned officers should pos
sess the following have been selected
by one military writer as being Of
the first Importance:
/. Proficiency as guides in close-order
drills, and particularly as column
leaders in route marching.

in drilling. marching. and fighting.

to suggest that young ladies' of such

enter upon such an undertaking IL they

THE .HONOR SYSTEM
BIG HIT AT POLLS
Fox Production Deals with Method
of Handling Criminals.

William Fox's sensational einemelo-
drama. The Honor System" brought
here direct from its long run at the
Lyric Theater, New York. upon special
request of Mr.. s. 2. Poll. was well
coined by well-hlled houses at Polls
Theater yesterday.
The big ten-reel production Is q pow
srful human interest drama and deals
with one Of the worlds most perplex-
ing questions-the most effective way
% handle and care for the criminals
that are destined to the various State
prisons of the country.
The derivation of the name. The
Honor System" IN this great produce
ton Is very obvious in that 1t IL a
story Of the honor system being intro
duced into one OF the most cruel and
inhumane prisons imaginable.
From the very outset OF the produc-
ton the audience Is frequently kept to
its highest tension. for the play is re-
plete with many exciting incidents.
The plot Is developed when a youth
Is seeking adventure, and journeys to
the West where he strikes q copper
mine. During his regime in the West
he falls in with undesirable acquaint-
ances and II IL with these that he
meets his fate. In a plain case Of
self-defense the successful miner kills
a jealous outsider, but he Is convict
ed OF murder in the second degree and
sentenced to life Imprisonment when
the truth Is not revealed.
After spending almost unlivaoie
weeks and months at this cruel prison.
he manages to escape. In his freedom
he directs a note to the governor OF
the State and appeals TO him for bet
ter treatment for himself and ms
prison friends. The governor inspects
the prison that has been complained

mounted by William Fox.

CoIumbIs-Mary Pickford.

Mary Pickford, in perturbation OF
'rRebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Z"
crowded Loew's Columbia with de-
lighted throngs yesterday and will re-
main the feature photoplay all of
this week. "Rebecca Of Sunnybrook
Farm in the films is an emphatic
success; a real Mary Pickford heart
interest story plus much warm hu-
NOR So completely does the star
Characterization of Rebecca dominate
the picture that one resents the in
trusion of even the slightest bit of
plot; one would rather see Rebecca
leap from rug to rug, like Eliza cross

ping on the polished floors.
And her soap selling campaign to
accumulate enough premiums to get
a banquet lamp for a poor family is
immensely funny, as is her feud with
Minnie Smellie, the parsons daughter.
Altogether, the picture unfolds such
a humorous story of child life that it
keeps the audience in a gale Of laugh
ter.
Members of the cast include such
tried and true players as Eugene
O'Brien, Josphine Crowen and
Mayne Kelso. The picture Is splen-
didly directed and beautifully mount
ed in backgrounds which are little

ana tinting are so fine that the film
boasts truly golden tone. The

graph, and a Sidney Drew comedy are
also shown.

Gayety--HeIlo America


An audience that filled the Cay
ETY. Theater from orchestra to gal
lery last night welcomed Joe Hur-
tig's patriotic musical burlesque,
Hello America"
Uniforms were much in evidence
in the audience and the wearers
of the khaki were plainly delight
ed with their evenings entertain
ment. encouraging every NUMBER
for repeated encores.
Primrose Semon, as winsome
and pretty as ever; Kitty GIasco.
the little girl with the big voice;
fIna Hayward, the Queen of Bur-
lesque, Lewis and Dody. possibly
even funnier than in former years,
a big cast Of nimble and pretty
girls that could really sing, and
beautiful stage settings are some
OF the reasons why the audience
enjoyed the production so thor
oughly.
Miss semon is much in evidence,
a third Of the songs falling to her
lot, not to mention a number Of
dances that are put over" in the
same graceful way that has made
the clever little actress popular
throughout the burlesque circuit.
Among the numbers that made
Hello America" so pleasing were
I'm a Real American Girl" You
Can't Do that to an Irishman."
olive Me the Right to Love YOU"
and Mother, Dixie and You"
The last named. due in part to the
clever work of Lewis and Dody,
was a tremendous hit.
Seven scenes are used in the pro-
duction that Hurtig has mounted
handsomely, the first of which is
the pier in the North River show
ing the arrival OF the American
Liner Columbia. The entire COM
pany whips the show into shape
with Hello America" catchy
air. for the opening ensemble.
The scene opening the second
act was very effective, it being
the Capitol and the surrounding
grounds at Washington. 1t was
here that the Yankee Doodle
Dandy Chorus are entertaining a
foreign mission with a musical re-
vue. At this juncture the entire
company made up the Hello Amer
lea Minstrels" and with Miss Sc
mon as interlocutor, eight artists
give a most entertaining and snap
BY finale.
A large and beautifully gowned
chorus that could really sing and
an excellent supporting cast made
Hello America" a worthy sue
cessor to the other successes that
have appeared at the Gayety.

District Attorney Receives
Copy of Orders Showing
How Dealers Will be Re-
quired to Fix Prices.

Coal prices that prevail in Pendle-
ton at this time will not, in all prob
ably. be materially affected by the
government regulations. District At
torney II. /. Keator yesterday receiv-
ed from L. $. District Attorney
Reames a COPY of the regulations
showing how dealers viii he required
to fix their prices. The information
sent by Mr.. Reames is published
herewith In full.
The dealer is allowed 80 per cent
more profit than in 1916. That IS Il
he charged two dollars a ton more for
his coal in 1915 than he paid for it
he can now charge S2.60 a ton more
The difference between the average
cost of coal on his sidetracks and the
price he charges the consumer Is
called the retail gross margin and the
dealer is allowed the same retail
gross margin as he had in 1915 plus
80 per cent, presumably to cover the
increased cost in operating.
