General Cocktails partial report on the
operation of the Adamson s'eight-hour'' law
would have had more attention if it had been
made public before the railroads were taken
over by the government. Now the national rail
road administration must solve problems, in
Guiding that of the rising cost of operation due
to higher prices of material and labor, which
had become acute in the last year of private
management. For the period Of the war, the
railroads, ever alert in the service Of the public
and doing everything in their power to increase
efficiency and maintain their properties, will be
interested observers Of great experiment in
irailroading. Without their cooperation the
experiment would result in failure Co-opera-
ton is assured, but while the war lasts they will
be relieved of a heavy responsibility For the
present the working Of the Adamson act is
matter of less interest to them than it is to the
administration which forced the % eli ght-hour'
statute upon them
The chairman of the eight-hour commission
says the review is necessarily incomplete, be-
cause traffic conditions have been abnormal
since the Adamson law became effective. For
railroad employees the most significant state
ment in the report is: ga reduction in hours
means to the men that they do not get the wage
increases indicated and in some cases means
considerable decrease, as where men formerly
worked twelve hours DAY now Work elSuI
hours day for ten hours pay The conten-
ton by men who opposed enactment OF the Adj
a1nson bill that the prime purpose OF those who
framed the measure to raise wages is borne
out bv this statement of Chairman Goethals of
the commission Of inquiry.
We are not people whose traditions point
to disbursement over difficulties. We have
much common sense and fairness of judgment.
We do not expect miraculous efficiency nor do
we hope to find absence of mistakes and mis-
haps in the management of our war program.
But we are a people prone to resent attempts
to conceal mistakes and mishaps We are, per-
haps, over given to doubling and fault finding
but we have always been just in action. What
ever facts are revealed in the long run the gov
eminent will be the gamer by a thorough under
standing of matters by the people.

ing the past three months, the
rate of production in the Suryi

difficulty in securing sufficient

The result of all this enthusiast.

The factories who are to make
the gauze are having difficulty in
securing from the mills needed
grey goods. that is the cotton
cloths from which gauze is made.
In the meantime, the Chapters are
rapidly using up the gauze which
they have on hand, and have al
ready exhausted the supply in the
Division Warehouse. Chapters
are especially requested not to
purchase gauze in the open mar
ket. although some still may be
obtained locally, but usually at
exorbitant prices. AS such pur-
chases only pro-long the Difficult
ty Of establishing regular sup
ply through the country. this re-
quest has been made of us by
National Headquarters, and | sin
cerely hope Chapters will co-ope-
rate by complying.

EMPIRE

Marin Sais is an actress who is famous for her delineation of West ern types, In '"The City of Dim Faces" the latest Paramount picture starring Sessue Hayakawa, which will be shown at the Empire theatre today, she essays a new kind of part and with highly successful results.
 She plays the role of Elizabeth Kendall, a woman who is governess in the home of a Chinaman, and fin ally marries him. They have child, @ son, and the Chinese father takes it from the mother, telling her she Ia never to see it again and that it is to be reared in ignorance of it's white blood. Then Elizabeth Mendalrs brain snaps under the shock and she lives for years in a Chinese under ground apartment, hugging a Chinese doll in the belief that it is her baby.
 But the plan of the Chinese father goes wrong when the son grows up, for he falls in love with an American girl, and finding out who his moth- CT is, searches for her, and brings back her mind for one swift moment when he tells her who he is. Sessue Hayakawa plays the young Chinese and he and Miss Sais do some unfor- getable acting in the final scenes of the picture. Tomorrow Enid Bennett in ''The Vamp."

WHAT'S GOING ON IN TEE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
PLAZA

Les Miserables," the greatest epic created or conceived; the, epic of soul transfigured and redeemed, puri-' fled by heroism anad glorified through suffering; the tragedy and comedy of life at it's darkest and it's brightest, of humanity at its best and at it's worst has been produced in film form by William Fox at a cost approximat- ing three-quarters of a million dol lars and it will be offered as the sea- sons supreme attraction at the Plaza theatre the latter half of the week commencing with today's matinee.
 In Les Miserables," William Far mum, that celebrated giant of the screen will assume the role of the immortal Jean Valjean. While it's most tremendous appeal is to the reading, thinking people, it has been referred to by one of = our greatest writers as "The Gospel of the Poor"
 Since Victor Hugo, gave to the world this, his acknowledged master piece, it has been translated into ev- cry language. It's production on the screen was a gigantic task due to the enormity and splendor of the scenes visualized by Hugo.
 It takes up nearly ten reels of film and is crammed with exciting action from the first scene to the last. You who have read Les Miserables'' will find exceptional delight in the film version and those who. have never read the book will thoroughly enjoy it's wonderful theme and its compelI- | ing action.
 The scale of prices will not be rais- | ed, as they have been in other cities and, more than that, there will be a
 'corkipg' vaudeville program in ad- | dition.
 The vaudeville features will include the renowned Klein Brothers in their | uproariously funny comedy skit; Fer nandez and May. "The Eccentric Mu- sicians," and Wilbur and Lyke offer | ing their clever diversion, Whose Turn Is It?''

OUR GREATEST
 FOOD CONSERVER

In Mothers Magazine for August, Dr. Goudiss pays a remarkable tri- bute to gelatine.
 He states that the use of ge!atine in American homes has almost dou- bled in a year, and is now a million pounds a month.
 A million pounds of gelatine makes about 200 million servings. Used as dessert it requires little sugar. Each million pounds of gelatine, used to displace other sorts of desserts, will save about ten million pounds of sugar and some 1-2 million pounds of flour
 To sweeten fresh fruit or to make preserved fruit requires from three to four times as much sugar as to make an equal amount of gelatine dessert. Other forms of desserts re- quire both sugar and flour.
 But gelatine is also a great saver of left-overs. It makes cooked and fresh vegetables of all kinds into ap- scraps into jellied meat loaves which everybody likes. All things consid- cred, gelatine must be regarded as our greatest food conserver.
 A leading gelatine expert now sup plies this product ready-prepared in a most delightful form. The new type is called Jiffy-JelI. It comes ready sweetened. so one adds only boiling water to 1t.
 The unique feature lies in the fla vors. They are made from fresh ripe fruit. then highly concentrated then sealed in glass vials-a bottle in each package, The result is des. serts with 3. wealth of fruit flavor made quickly and at trifling cost There are also hme-fruit and min flavors for salads and meat loaves.

Proper Period of Sleep.

Whoever it was that discovered sleep decided that at least one-third of a persons life was properly spent in bed, and therefore, when the crowd stops up until midnight it is healthy and wise to remain under cover, or anyway on the pillows, until eight o'clock The dancer or card player (certainly we mean bridge and other perfectly proper games) lingering for the last one-step or the final hand, until one o'clock, should not be dis turbed until nine. And so on, accord ing to the accepted plan of health and happiness. But taking the other side of the argument-or rather, reversing the program-let the average person retire at ten o'clock and rise at six Exchange.

POLES

There is will action galore to the Poli program at the big, cool and comfortable theatre today.
 Beginning with the Ziegler Sisters hnd the Kentucky Five, vaudeville's speediest exponent of grace and agil- ! tty with the famous Kentucky Five, will disport themselves in a dance revue such as never probably has ap- peared on the Poli stage this season The offering is filled with pep, with good looking and well costumed girls and has a scenic investiture second to none.
 Ford and the Cunningham Sisters, an extra added attraction will as stound in the novelty of their comic song and talk. This trio is known as the Beau Brummell and Society Belles of vaudeville and they always sustain their title in the distinction of attire, carrying trunksfull of ward robe for the envy of man and wom- an.
 Fox and Britt, cross-fire comedians in a reveille of song and talk oddity, come from the very heart of the Rial to. They are fortified with 73 centi- mete charges of delight shrapnel.
 The Fantino Troupe, wonderful and delirious ground and aerial acrobats, will offer an exhibition of risely which has made them internationally fla nous.
 Theron Gaudet, the most able of all French vaudeville actors, will bring an enjoyable surprise in his new act booked for Poli showing today.
 On the screen, in addition to the newly changed Hearst-Pathe news which promises exciting events on the Western battlefront, Henry B. Wal thall in With Hoops of Steel" will be the feature attraction in five ex- tensive and beautifully pictured reels of drama It is Paralta play, directed by Eliot Howe from the book of Florence Finch Kelly, under the management of Robert Brunton It depicts a man In most tight place. Seemingly nothing can re lease him from ill-fate. In despair he finds a. friend. Does he go th* limit even to the extent of his lift for that friend? You bet he doe and thereby hangs the tale upot which With Hoops of Steep is pro duced. It is an eloquent discussion of modern civilization and life iE America.
