SETS MOVIE RECORD
FOR BOND Buying
Audience at Strand Invests $37.500
in Liberty Loan.

A motion picture theater record in
Third Liberty Loan subscription was
established at the Strand on wednes-
day night. May l. the last night Of
the eleven day run Of THE Kaiser,
the Beast Of Berlin when bonds to
a total amount of $37,O50 were sold.
The highest individual buyer was
ii. d. Brown. Of Jacksonville,
Fla, who purchased q $4,000 bond,
and shortly thereafter in response to
urgent appeals on the part Of the
liberty loan committee, bought six
additional $50 bonds which were de-
livered on the spot.
Mr.. Browns enthusiastic patriotism
proved contagious, for during the
brief period between the first and
second shows, sufficient number Of
bonds in addition to those purchased
by Mr.. Brown. were sold to make the
total for the house $s7,060.
There has not heretofore been any
such response to appeals Of speakers
on behalf Of the liberty loan as this
recorded at the Strand ON Wednesday
night, which u due, no doubt, to the
fact that the nature Of the photoplay
feature was such a. to prompt een-
erous subscription.

BREAK At ALL COSTS
CORNER in PLATINUM
U. S. War Powers May Have to
Commander Jewelry.

Unless American agencies are able
to break the threatened corner Of
platinum engineered by German
agents In Colombia. the women of the
United States will be asked by the
War Department to surrender all few
elry made OF the rare metal.
The use OF platinum is essential to
the manufacture of the powerful
acids used in modern high explosives.
Since the United States entered the
war the available supplies OF plati-
mum have grown less. In the first
years of the war Russia supplied
eighty per cent Of the platinum used
in the munitions factories Of the al
lies and the neutral countries. Since
the Russian withdrawal. practically
all platinum has come from Colom-
bia-
Recently the prices Of platinum
have begun to advance. American
agents in Colombia reported that Ger
man citizens were entering the mar
ket for platinum It was evident that
they could not use the metal, hut
sought only to store IT rather than
permit it to reach the factories of
Germany's enemies. It Is said that
millions Of dollars in this country
and the wealth OF a number Of South
American banks were placed at the
disposal Of the German agents

LAUNCHES new DRIVE
AGAINST Discounts
Merchants and Manufacturer As
sociation Starts Campaign.
We. Have Heard 1t Everywhere, Seen 1t Posted u
Everywhere. Some Of Us Do Not Yet
Realize What II Means

Preferential discounts will go in
TO the discard among the CONNER
cial fraternity of Washington IL
the Merchants and Manufacturers'
Association have their way. An in
tensivs campaign will soon be
launched By that organization for
the purpose of explaining to the
buying public the desirable points
Of a no-discount system.
Announcement was made today
by Charles ]. Columbus, secretary
of the association. that a letter on
the subject will be sent to all prom
inent organizations Of Washington
with the request that IL be read
at their next meetings. An offer
to discuss the merits OF the pro-
posed elimination of discounts is al
SO contained in the letter.
There IL no valid reason under
the sum-" said Secretary Columbus,
in speaking of the Forthcoming
drive against favorits accounts,
why there should be discrimina-
tion in the sale Of merchandise.
My attention has Just been called
to the offer Of q ten per cent dis
count to the Army and Navy. No
matter what the object might be,
the result is the same. The price
discount gives the lie to the price
policy of any institution. As far
as the enlisted men Of the army and
navy are concerned, their apparel
wants are met by the government
itself. So 1t would hardly be be-
coming to exploit the army or navy
or both through a preferential dis
count proposal. The Merchants
and Manufacturer Association will
be glad to have its attention called
to all instances OF discount giving
in which all the public does not
share alike"
