AT THE REPUBLIC TOMORROW

Never has Tom Mix appeared in a
more thrilling story than in his latest
William Fox picture, "Mr. Logan. u.
S. A." This photoplay which will be
shown at the Republic Theatre to-
morrow is one that will hold any au-
dience by the hazardous feats of that
virile portrayer of Western roles.
The story deals with the Huns in
our midst who try to paralyze our
industrial activities through cunning
Vaccinations. In 'Mr. Logan, U. s..
A." these agitators try to sow the
seed of discomfort among miners who
are engaged in the all important tung-
stem mines of our Western States.
Tom Mix as the secret service man
who works among these miners to
discover and Illustrate this plot, is
scorned by the girl he loves as a
Stacker. How he thwarts this coun-
try's enemies and finally demonstrates
to the girl that Uncle Sam has no
more ardent supporter is developed
in novel way that is full of sur
prises.

WANT VIEWS ON

Admiral Seaton Schroeder, in
charge of the United States Hydro
graphic Office at Washington, reminds
Lieutenant Commander Graham, of
the Baltimore branch Office, that he
expects statements from mariners on
the proposed change in the marking
of naval compass card. He writes
that you are requested to bring to
the attention of shipmasters and 9TH
ers whose opinions may be of value
the copy of reference which was mail
ed some weeks ago, with view of
obtaining their comments and views
upon the subject"
The original proposition was to
change the number and value of the
major divisions (points) of the COM
pass card so that they and the minor
divisions (degrees) shall be common
sura.e. AS at present marked only
the cardinal and intercardinal points
tally with whole degree. A circu-
lar of many pages goes into the mat
ter and the local photographer, who
gave it great publicity, has found
none or very few shipmasters who
take interest in the matter and will
give their opinion. TOO busy" is
their reply, but we will give 1t at

wants statements of results not later
than October 81.

FEDERAL FOOD
AND DRUG ACT
Labelling Net Weight Helps The
Housewife. Food And Drugs
Act Makes For Full Measure
FOR FOOD PACKAGE

The housewife can see at glance
how much food she is 70 get for her
money when il is in package form and
labeled in accordance with the pro-
visions Of the Federal Food and
Drugs Act. say the officials of the Bu-
reau OF Chemistry charged with the
enforcement of that law The Fedral
Food and Drugs Act provides that all
food in package form shipped into in
terstate or foreign commerce shall
bear on the labels a plain and con-
spicuous statement of the quantity of
the contents of the package in terms
of weight measure or numerical count
Federal food inspectors are always
on the watch for interstate shipment
OF food in package form TO see that the
labels tell the truth with respect TO
the quantity of food in the package.
Samples of the great variety of foods
now put up and sold into interstate
commerce in package form are taken
by the ispectors. Several samples are
taken from each shipment in order
that their average weight may be de-
termined The food in sample pack
ages is carefully weighed or measured
If the packages are found TO be short
in weight or measure the party re-
sponsihle for the shipment may be
prosecuted under the criminal section
of the law.
The Federal Food and Drugs Act
does not apply to foods which are
sold and consumed within the State
where produce or manufactured. 1t
applies to foods that are shipped from
one State to another, or to or from a
foreign country, or manufactured or
sold within the District of Columbia
or Territory. Many States have net
weight or measure laws, however,
which protect the housewife from
short weight or measure in package
foods produced and sold within the
State. The Federal food officials and
the State food officials cooperate in
the work of enforcing the food laws
in order that abuses which can not be
reached under one law may be cor
rected under the other.
The variety and quantity of foods
put up and sold in package form has
increased rapidly in recent years.
Nearly every kind of food may now be
bought in can, box, bottle, basket case.

AT THE REPUBLIC TONIGHT

II keep in their sympathy: that's
why / get such convincing results. !"
These words peitomize the success
Of Kenean Buel. the noted director
Of screen plays. in his artistic con-
troll of the Lee children. Jane and
Katherine.
These youngsters, who are again TO
delight photoplay fans at the Repub-
lie Theatre Thureday. when they will
be seen at this theatre in their latest
production, Doing Their Bit" play
as droll and exciting as ii is patriotic,
look on Kenean Buel as a pal and
playmate rather than a taskmaster.
Interesting sidelights were thrown
on his association with the Lee chill
dren by Kenean Buel in a recent talk
with a representative of this paper
Il use my imagination in order TO
appeal TO Them" said Mr.. Buel. I'VE
make up the plot, seemingly, as we
go along, although. as matter of
fact. guide the imagination of the
youngsters into the channels neces-
sary to develop the plot OF the play
as intended
I'm other words, lead them to
think that they are at play, like play
ing house. for instance. The assump-
ton of the, attitude of a taskmaster
would Immediately rob the work of
these youngsters, or any youngsters
in pictures, of spontaneity of thought
and naturalness of movement"
The Lee children, naturally, are
fond of their director and his assist
ant, Johnny Kellette. Buel has di-
rected them ever since William Fox
made the mstars Doing Their Bit"
is the fifth of his productions for the
Lee tandem.
Whenever a scene is finished, Jane
and Katherine come for conference
to their director. Their favorite poses
are to snuggle close to him or crawl
into his lap, while he "instructs"
them, much as one would tell fairy
tale to a child. Or they sit quietly
by while other scenes are in the max
ing, waiting for their cues.

SELLING WHEAT
AT LESS PRICE

Edwin j. Baetjer, Federal Food Adj
ministrator, has sent out the follow
ing:
ITO All County Administrators and
Press:
Reports reach the Food Admins
tartion that some farmers are selling
their wheat at less than the guaran-
teed price because of the railway en-
bargoes placed in parts of the coun-
try against wheat shipment. While
the elevators are temporarily over
stocked because seaboard movement
has not kept pace with interval move
ment, this condition should be inn
proved during the next thirty or sixty
days. No farmer who will have pa

need sell below the guaranteed price,

SOLDIERS VOTE
CANNOT BE TAKEN
Constant Movement Of Military Forces
in Europe Makes 1t Imprac-
ficahle

Constant movement of our military
forces in Europe" making it imprac-
ticable at present to attempt to Sc
cure in any manner the votes of our
soldiers abroad" the War Department
has declined to permit the State of
New York to send a commission
abroad to take the votes of the 200,-
600 New York men now serving with
the American Expeditionary Forces.
This decision was announced in
letter from Benedict Crowell, Acting
Secretary of War, to Francis Hugo,
Secretary of State of New York State,
which was made public in New York
Sunday by George A. Glynn, chair
man of the Republican State Commit
tee. The letetr, in part. follows:

War Department is DESTROYS of asst
ing the State in every way possible to
take the vote of members of the Amer
lean Expeditionary Forces in both the
primary and general elections. this
on the condition that the taking of the
vote will not seriously interfere with
military operations.
AT the present time, owing to the
conditions, and the constant move
ment of our military forces in Europe,
it is not considered practicable to per-
init a commission to go to France or
England for this purpose, nor is it
practicable to attempt to secure in
any manner the votes of our soldiers
