Wolves of the Rail" provides "Bill'
Hart with a new character, that of
railroad detective running down a
gang of bandits. and it also provides
the famous star with sensational
scenes and thrilling situations. He
performs heroic feats, the climax of
which is his daring ride alongside a
runaway engine, which he boards
while his horse is going at mad gall
lop and prevent a collision. From the
beginning of the first scene to the last
the picture is replete with rapid ac
ton wolves of the Rail- in addi-
tion to being an extraordinary thrill
er, will also rank as a superb dra-
matte offering. While retaining all the
atmosphere which have made Hart
photoplays so popular it provides the
famous actor with a vehicle entirely

PROFITEERS SEIZE
UPON FISH SUPPLY.
Fisherman Gets 8 Cents For
Whole Shad; Public Pays 40
Cents A Pound.

Alfred w Mccain, writing in the
New York Globe and Commercial Ad-
vertiser, says:
"The New York public thinking the
fish thoughts of the entire nation,
wants to know what is the matter
with the fish market and why Ken
meth Fowler, Herbert Hoover's fish
representative in New York does
nothing.
"On August 16. 1917, l agreed with
a group of fish producers of the At
lantic Coast and group of fish dis
tributors in New York city to start
another fish campaign under Globe
AUSPICES taking $4,000 pounds of fresh
fish the first week and 100000 pounds
a week within a month at the follow
ing prices: The retail stores in New
York city were to pay for scrod cod
Al cents pound, selling them at s
cents RETAIL for market cod 81 cents
a pound, selling them at 10 cents re-
tail; for steak cod ~ cents a pound,
selling them at II cents, retail; for
pollock So cents a pound, selling
them at 10 cents retail; for hake So
cents a pound, selling them at 10
cetns retail; Off paddock z cents
pound, selling them at 10 cents retail;
for herring 40 cents a pound, selling
them at 10 cents retail. Fulton Mar
ket influence broke up the deal.
There are just as many fish today
as there was when the Globe demon
strated the feasibility of selling fresh
fish at these ridiculous prices in COM
petition with stale fish at from two to
four times as much.
What has Kenneth Fowler, the
Federal Fish Administrator, to say
of these extraordinary facts a? The
Government knows that the men who
do the fishing are not being paid any
thing like the prices which the public
is forced TO pay and the Government
is not getting the difference.
why is the Government not getting
the difference Perhaps Banker
Dyer can tell the Government why it
is not getting the difference Perhaps
the Food Administrator can tell the
Government why it is not getting the
difference. Surely someone can tell
the Government Certainly the Gov
eminent ought to know. Certainly the
people want to know The people are
paying the price"

NEW FIELDS OF LABOR;
WOMEN PAPERHANGERS.

A new field of labor was opened
yesterday when il was found that the
shortage OF labor, due to the loss of
men by the draft, had caused various
dealers in several parts of the coun-
try to open their shops to the employ
ment of women as paperhangers.
Never before have industrial oppor-
tunities been open to the gentler sex
as i'm the past six months, and the en-
try of women in the paperhanging
field lets down the tarss so as to speak.
of trade which has long been con-
sidered a masculine occupation. But
with the shortage of labor in it's pres
ent acute stage, due to drafts for the
army enlistments in the navy and ma
rine corps, employment of countless
thousands in the ship building yards
and other government work, the
paperhangers became fewer i'm num-
Der than ever before. This shortage
became so acute in some localities that
the dealers not only employed, but
welcomed, women who desired to take
up paperhanging as "A trade.
Experiments were begun in several
localities as to the adaptability OF
women for this line Of work, and their
employers were amazed with the
success of their new proteges, for they
were not only found to be more ac-
curate and painstalSing i'm what they
did, but were found to be more rapid,
and in some cases completed their
tasks in one-fourth to one-third less
time than their predecessors, the
men. And on top Of all this, they were
much more clearly while at work and
would not allow scraps of pasted
paper TO remain on the floors where
it would be difficult to remove them.
In fact, the rooms were spotlessly
clean, and but for the new paper on
the walls and ceilings the housewife
could not have told that the women
paperhanger had been there.
But it was the accuracy and palms.
taking care with which they did their
work that surprised their employers
the most for the patterns on the side

semblance of a mismatched design,
the borders had to fit perfectly against

felt they were not giving the house
wife that perfect harmony which is 50
essential in every home. Another
thing which surprised their employ
ers was their intuitive sense OF color
scheme that is so invaluable in pro-
ducing that perfect blend of walls and
furnishings that makes a home at
tractive.
The employment of women as
Daperhangers comes as welcome re-
lief TO the wallpaper industry this
spring, for all dealers throughout the
United States and Canada are enter
ing into an International Wall Paper
Week during the week of April 22-27,
