in Theater at Time.

Winchester, Ky.-Twelve person:
were killed, 10 of whom were children
% persons were so severely injured
it was found necessary to remove them
to the Clark county hospital, and about
| 30 others were less seriously hurt
| when the walls of a burned building
adjoining moving picture theater
collapsed, crushing in it's roof last
Saturday.
Six of the % injured taken to the
Clark county hospital were thought to
be fatally hurt. The majority of these,
as we'll as hose not so seriously hurt,
were children, several hundred of
whom were crowded into the picture
theater when the crash came.
The wall which collapsed was also
used as one wall of the theater, but
projected considerably above the roof
of the theater building. When it col
lapsed a part fell on the theater's roof
The wallis collapse at the same time
removed the support from the roof
on that side and it crashed down.
The greatest force of the fall was
spent upon one section of rs seats, and
it was here that all of the fatalities
and serious injuries occurred.
The first result of the crash was a
panic in which the hundreds of child
rem and small number of grown per-
sons struggled to reach the entrance.
Apparently no one was hurt in this
rush.
Within a short time hundreds of per-
sons attracted to the scene cleared
away the wreckage.

GERMANY NOW THREATENS
SWEDEN, DENMARK, NORWAY
Scandinavian Countries Subjected to
Bitter enunciation-Reason Is
Plan-Get No Mercy.

London.-The newest and most nov
ell display of German policy has come
in the form of sudden broadside of
denunciation of the Scandinavian
countries by German newspapers and
publicists, like Count Reventlow of
the Tages Zeitung. From the simil-
arity of the articles it is evident
that they are directed by one mind,
which mind apparently is the German
government.
The articles accuse the Scandina-
Wan countries substantially of being
accomplices to the entente and warn
them that, therefore, they can err
pect no consideration from Germany.
The reason for this policy is plain to
diplomats here. Germany's dealings
with Finland thus far seem designed
to make Finland a minor German

TORNADO IN OHIO
KILLED FIVE PEOPLE
SEVERAL OTHERS REPORTED AS
DEAD, SCORES INJURED,
HOMES DESTROYED.
GREAT DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
Estimates Place Loss at 100000 to
$4,000 o-Chickens Denuded of

RACED by the tornado which rage(
Saturday night.
Estimates of property damage raT
from $1,OOO,OOO to $5,0O0,0O0.

Harry Perry, 8, near Van Vert.
Mrs. Charles Gree, Middle Point.
Mrs Charles Geyer, 67, Van Vert
county.
Pearl Bott, 26, near Cloverdale.
The tornado came in the form or a
Kansas "twister." Abe small loss of
life is attributed to the fact that the
tornado travelled mostly through open
country, skipping towns and villages.
Most of the injured in Van Vert
county were taken to the Van Vert
county hospital, where operations
were performed by the light of cleo
trio pocket lights.
The tornado played queer pranks.
Hundreds of chickens were entirely
denuded and left without feather.
Big boulders, weighing ton, were
j lifted from fields or creeks and car
ried many yards.
A tornado visited the west and mid
die portions of Seneca county, caus-
ing thousands of dollars worth OF

their foundations and set down in
adjacent fields.

done in Hancock county when the tor
nado swept through.

Sept. 24.-(1o {. M, by the Associat-
ed Press.)-The fighting for the vital
positions which have defended the
main Hindenburg line east Of Epehy
and Ronssoy continued yesterday and
last night. No marked change in the
situation resulted but the advantage
lay with the British.
A vigorous local engagement is TAX
ing place today on the front nearly
west Of st. Quentin between Holnon
and Fresnoy. Main interest. however.
is centering in the Epehy-Ronssoy
sector, where the British since Satur-
day have by determined fighting gain
ed ground which is of the greatest
Importance and which captured docu-
ments show to be a vital part of the
Hindenburg defenses that was to be
held at all costs. ~,
The pressure which the British have
established here is obvious from a
glance at the detailed maps. The great
st. Quentin canal forms a strong nat
ural defense for the enemy for a great
distance in this section. but just east
of Ronshoy it runs underground for
about three miles. In other words
there is a gap in the waterway de-
tense here, and it is this which the
Germans have been defending SO des-
perately.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain to much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsihed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely g~reaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap, or anything
else you use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly iniure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
land evenly. and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age. y
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and a few unces is enough to
last, everyone in the family for
months. :

ANOTHER YEAR
NEEDED To END
The WORLD WAR
Such is Opinion Of Senator
Thompson Who Has Re
turned from the Front.

Washington, Sept. 24.-Describing
his recent visit to the western front,
Senator Thompson OF Kansas told the
senate today that while in some quar-
tiers there is q belief that the wal a
be ended this year. the general opinion
abroad is that another year will be re-
quired to bring Germany to- her
knees. America, he declared, had
put pop into the war and started the
ball rolling towards Berlin.
German morale was lower
than at the present time, he said.
while the Allied armies are convinced
they are fighting a winning cause and
that victory il all but within their
grasp"
Not alone in man-power and in ar
tillery do the Allies predominant, but
they have a complete mastery of the
air. Despite the criticism in this
country of the aircraft program, he
said, planes are now arriving in
France from this country ''about as
rapidly as they a be taken a of"
He branded as false statements made
in the senate some time ago that in
July only one .battleplane equipped
with a Liberty motor was in France.
