"a Long Island city motion picture
company's new seven-reeI "thriller"
got on to flying start last night
when 1t caused members OF the police
department several hours needless
search for the body OF q woman who
was seen to go over Great Falls.
The climax came shortly before
dusk last night, when J. c. Wright,
of 43S Manor place northwest, told
police OF the Seventh precinct that
while at Great Falls yesterday. he
saw the body Of a woman go over the
falls.
After several hours Of fsuitless

Objection to the bill was made by both republican and democratic members be- cause it does not specifically provide that the wheat be sold to the consumer at the price determined by the law of sup4 ply and demand. Representative Lever of South Carolina. in charge of the meas ure, told the House that public senti- inent would force the government to sell the wheat in this country at the price prevailing in the world market.

 After adopting amendments changing from October 15, 1920 to June l, 1920, the date on which the government guarantee would expire and giving the President power to prohibit imports of wheat should unfair tactics be used in trying to force down the price, the House ad- journed without reaching vote on the bill.

EDITORIAL.

It has been customary
for the larger stores of
this country to cooperate
with the producers of this
great movie. In lending our
assistance we take great
pleasure because of two
important things. First
1t encourages and pro-
notes an interest in a pic
ture that has been the talk
of the country. A picture
worth while.
Second-It gives us an
opportunity to present to
your attention Mickey spe-
Gals that are worth while.
1t is indeed fortunate
that Alexandria secured
this production, and it
bears out our editorial OF
a few DAYS ago that this
city is fast becoming a
thorn in the side of Wash
ingtOn.
As soon as all our merchants be-
come aware of this fact. and most
of the live merchants are aware
of it, then the question OF how TO
keep the People from buying, etc.
in the Capital viii be solved.
We need live up to the minute
pictures here and we are glad to
note the very fact that Mickey
was secured indicates the people
of Alexandria are going to get
what they are entitled to.
