DAVIS THEATRE.
super.Pieture intolerance is Shown.

The super-picture, Intolerance, was shown Monday afternoon and evening to large houses at thefDavls theatre.
 Four stories were told in scenes that changed abruptly from the present day to the time of Christ, to the scenes of the Massacre of St. Bartholomew u1,- der Catherine de Medici and to the Fall of Babylon. The only relation was that of the common theme.
 From the spectacular point of view impressive. All the methods of ancient warfare were illustrated - hand to- hand fighting, mass charges, moyeafole towers catapults, battering rams, even fire hurled down from the walls and a kind of antique hint of the modern cannon
 Individual acting would appear to have little chance in the crowded scenes. But the audience discovered before long that whenever the "Moun- tain Girl Constance Talmadge) ap- peared. there was going to be a lively time. She kept old Babylon all stirred up from the time she made such a row in the marriage market that no man dared take her home at any price, The other actress with part that enabled her to hold the audience was
 Mae Marsh, the ''Girl of the Moder1 l Story"
 A big feature of the production i. ! the beautiful stage setting especially built for the picture and the splendit musical programme played by an eu. 1 larged symphony orchestra of picked | musicians.

 Every cantonment is a crucible of sacrifice. To me as I visited Camp Bartlett and Camp Devens and saw the fuSing process in action, the over whelming, crushing thought that seemed to baf1e and benumb me was why this annihilation of the indi- vidual? Personal ambitions, past ex-

BLASTS HEARD HERE.
From Road Work on Military Highway
 and at Voluntown.

The loud explosions which have been heard recently by Norwich pco- pie and caused much speculation as to their origin may be explained by the fact that worknaen engaged in building the Military Highway" between the submarine base and this city are shooting some large blasts at Stod- dard's wharf. These blasts can be heard distinctly in the city as can the blasts from Voluntown where worlmen arc engaged in building a road there.

PUTS CHECK ON
 PRoFTTEERING BAKERS
Food Administration Shows Wheat Substitutes Are Dropping in Price.

Because bakers in several cities have threatened to raise the price of bread on the ground that the substi- tutes for wheat four, which they are required to use up to 25 per cent. or more, are more expensive than the wheat four. the food administration of the state has issued statement that the prices of substitutes are under regulation and show a marked down ward tendency.
 Corn meal is now obtainable at prices much lower than wheat flour. while corn four, oats and barley are offered at the same price or lower than wheat flour. The price of substitutes generally is likely to decline still fur ther end, in the opinion of the food administration there is rio justifica- ton for any advance in bread prices.
 When man discovers that he has had enough he also discovers that he has overestimated his capacity.

Applying This Paste
 Actually Removes Hairs
(Beauty Notes>

Merely applying an inexpensive paste to a hairy surface, say beauty specialists, will dissolve the hairs. This paste is made by mixing a little water with some powdered delatone: after about minutes it is rubbed off and the skin washed. This simple method not only removes every trace of hair, but leaves the skin free from blemish. To insure success with this treatment, be careful to get real dela- tone
