HOROSCOPE
Tuesday. February 10, 1918.

Mercury, Venus and Uranus are all
in benefic aspect today, according to
the reading of the stars.
Under this rule romance gains eX-
treme potency and all may be suscep-
tible' to it. Marriages will multiply
among all classes and persons of all
ages will wed.
This should be an auspicious day for
weddings and for all social occasions
at which men and women meet.
1t should be a fairly lucky day for
actors and actresses, although from
this date on theaters may not have
much patronage.
During the Lenten season there will
develop some religious movement or
church interest that will lead to far
reaching results not altogether satis-
factory.
There is a favorable sign for writing
and advertising. Publishing will meet
with conditions that bring about
changes which prove beneficial, for a
new literature will develop.
The stars presage success for women
In many lines of work, but again ex-
tremes will rule for there will be a re-
turn to old domestic duties at the
very time when largest public oppor-
tunities beckon.
Planetary direction seems to indicate
that all the feminine traits and at
tributes will be strengthened during
war times, which demand of women
the ancient services Of sacrifice that
belong to wives and mothers.
Uranus today gives announcement
to aviation and presages an invention
that will gain phenomenal success.

der Johnson and his eight Corn
Cob Cut-ups" won not only laugh
ter but big share of applause with
their rustic makeup. songs, dances
and country band. 1t is a novel
feature and very popular.
Not far behind in the amount of
approval bestowed was Gladys Gil
len. in "The Job" in one of the
best character impersonations of the
season as a breezy, slangy East Side
girl The playlet which is present
ed as a five character sketch by
Miss Gillen. william Stuart and
Company, is original and some OF
its lines find a ready sympathetic
response in the audience. Two
musical numbers much above the
average include Alice Cole. an at
tractive girl with an excellent voice,
who sings several songs with fine
effect and wins an ovation with the
Marsellaise. and Ell Gotta. a master
xylophonist, whose numbers range
from operate masterpieces to rag
time. Evans and Wilson, both with
very pleasing voices, present a novel
and attractive sketch, "A Confiden-
tial Conversation" which serves
also to introduce comedy with we'll
sung songs.
Will and Kemp open the show
with a good acrobatic number and
Kane and Herman entertain as dip
py harmonists." An extraordinary
attraction is the Paramount-Art-
craft photoplay picturing William
s. Hart in wolves of the Rail-" that
ranks with the best of the Hart
productions.

How to Acquire Hair Beauty

You can enjoy a delightful
shampoo with very little effort
and for a very trifling cost, if
you, get from your druggists a
package of Canthrox and dissolve
a teaspoonful in a cup of hot
water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough so it is
easy to apply it to all the hair
instead of just the top of the
head. Your shampoo is now
ready. just pour little at time
on the scalp and hair until both
are entirely covered by the daint-
lily perfumed preparation that
thoroughly dissolves and removes
every bit of dandruff, excess oil
and dirt. After rinsing the hair
dries quickly with fluffiness that
makes it seem heavier than it is,
and takes on rich luster and a
softness that makes arranging it a
pleasure.-Ady.

Mary; they have come over from Italy

FIRST NIGHT AT
THE THEATERS
Keith's-Co-Stnr Bill.

Flora Parker sprang real sur
prise when she appeared as a real
ball OF yarn at Keith's last night.
And she wound herself right around
the hearts of her audience.
With Carter De Haven, Miss Par
ker presented a sparkling little act
full Of pep and vim and joie de
vivre and everything. Perhaps the
prettiest number was words Won't
Cure a Heart That's Broken"-not
at all the lachrymose offering that
the title suggests.
Mollie King enlightened the audi
ence as to the recipe for love a la
King. 1t sounded appetizing. Then
she proceeded to demonstrate that
she is a sure-enough acrtss and not
just an ingenue. by initiating the
current celebrities. Her limitations
ranged all the way from Gaby Des-
lys to Ethel Barrymore and back
to our own George Cohan.
Joe jackson didn't say a word
during the twenty minutes he and his
decrepit bicycle occupied the stage.
But he got more laughs to the square
minute than any performer has had
for several moons from the some

diences.

to the title with the aid of an un-
balanced piano and a very charm
ing partner. The Cameron Sisters
dance with grace and vim, their pa
triotic march being especially ap-
preciated. Burton Daniels, at the
piano. is an effective aid to the act.
Rose and Moon do some first class
dancing, a Jazz version OF "Over

Nine. M. Cronin's electrical novelty
act made the stage into a fairyland
of colored lights.
In conclusion, the Hearst-Pathe
news pictorial was presented.

roles with apparent ease. Henry

impression on first nighters. II his

Gates Replies
To Judge Hill,

Knoxville, Tenn, May 10.-When
asked whether he desired to make
any reply to the interview publish
ed by Judge L, D. Hill in the Nash
Vile Banner and partly reproduced
in the Sentinel Gen. Charles 7.
Gates said:
Il noticed that Judge Hill states
that he is constrained to believe
that overlooked the provisions of
section 20 of the primary law, but
| want to assure him that had not
overlooked the provisions of that or
any other section of the law in
question, and the provisions of the
particular section referred to by
him are not pertinent in reply to the
interview given out by me several
days ago in which | referred to the
action of the state committee in
giving candidates unacquainted
with the intention of that commit
tee in advance only eleven days to
confer with their friends in the
ninety-six counties of the state in
order to secure proper representa-
ton among the nominations to be
made by the county executive COM
mitteeS on May Is.
The point that | made and still
make is, that the time afforded by
the State committee is entirely too
short lor any candidate for Senator
Governor or Railroad Commissioner,
not advised in advance as to the
probable action of the committee,
to secure representation on the
county boards.
1T is fair to assume that Judge
Hill, chairman of the state COM
mittee, was fully aware of the pro-
visions Of the primary law and the
time within which candidates are
required to qualify, so that it would
have been an easy matter for the
chairman Of the executive commit
tee to call it together a month in
advance of any date fixed for the
meeting of the county committees
any one who has given considera-
ton to the matter knows that it
would require at least month to
fairly cover the state. do not
know whether Judge Hill had
aught to do with the preparation of
the primary law, but It was prepar-
ed in large part at least by one
member of the committee during
conference with the senior senator,
who was then in Nashville urging,
as he says in different letters, the
of this particular law; 50
hat to these gentlemen its full pro-
visions were certainly known.
OF course Judge Hill will not de-
ny that he and at least one other
nemter of his committee have
)een recently in conference not on
,nly with the senior Senator but
lis representative in Tennessee in
citation to the action of the state
committee, and the mere statement
