DANGER KISSING BLONDES

Boston, Feb. 27.-''Dont kiss the
blondes; very menacing," is the warn
inp given the world by DR.. John ".
Kenney, prominent Boston dentist.
Blondes are dangerous to the
health, according to the expert, very
much more so than bruncttes. he
adds that this applies 10 the men as
we'll as the ladies. No woman should
allow a man to kiss her without tlrst
knowing the condition OF her teeth
and guns and the mans 100. ~
:, The doctor declares that thousands
Of persons Of both sexes rowEsuffsr-
inc from pyhorrea, a disvscesof the
gums, became victims of the ailFnent
through communication of direct con-
tact. He says the trouble is much
more prevalent among the light COM
plcxioned ones.

SLAIN AS WAS HIS CHUM
Proprietor of Fashionable New York
Boarding House Found by
Waiter

New York, Feb. 27-George A. Ro-
bee, proprietor of fashionable board
ing house at 22S Madison avenue,
which is diagonally across the street
from the home of J !. P. Morgan, was
found dead there Thursday in small
bedroom in the first floor, where he
was in the habit of entertaining
guests late at night. He had been mur-
dered on the previous night or in the
early morning hours. Death was
caused by strangulation, though there
was also a skull fracture due to his
head striking an iron bedpost.
Because none of the p boarders
heard any commotion, and because the
slayer left no clue, the case resolved
itself into one of the most interest
ing and mystifying the police have
had in a long time.
Ccmplicating their problem (or
maybe simplifying it, is a strange
circumstance, Robee, it developed, was
friend of Winfield S. Philhower, an
electrical inventor, who was mur-
dcred at 14s East Thirtieth street
January IS much in the same way
That is. his body was found in tn:
morning and there was no trace OF
the killer.
Like Philhower, Robee was an out
of the ordinary character. Both wer'
bachelors. Both rather Stunned wo
men. though they were courteous ant
suaye, Both had ample means an.
Iwere given to lavishing Hospitality
4 upon men--ususlly mu.h younge
l than Reconsideration they met. i
casual Ways, frequently upon tn
streets or in cafes. Robee recently ha
) entertained several soldiers and sal
ors.

"CHILDREN OF BANISHMENT."

''Children of Banishment," Mitchell
Lewis second select picture, at the
Richmond tonight, is certainly one of
the best Northwestern pictures that
has ever appeared upon the screen. 1t
has one very important requisite,
which few pictures of that class con-
tain-it is true to detail. And it is
true to detail because it vas taken in
the heart of the Northwest country
the Sierra Nevada Mountains. No
artificial sets were used throughout
the picture. Everything is true to
lifc-even to the extras, who were all
men Of the mountains
Mitchell! Lewis, as usual, is typi-
cal Notwithstanding of soul and
broad of heart. He fairy radiates
the breezy. clean air of the great
outdoors. He is ably supported by a
splendid cast, all of whom are excel
lently fitted for the parts they por-
tray.
: A fight between Mitchell Lewis and
Arthur Morrison. is one of the most
realistic the screen has ever produced
lit: is no nan!by-panlby affair; it is, {
fight between t1o big men who make
good use of their fists and the punch
behind them.
Tn story.is thrilling ore, full o;
love and pathos.

The war is over and we are glad
To welcome our boys home again
A great many homes, of course, are
sad,
But our cause was just-it was not
in vain.
For we entered the war to free the
world
Of Teuton bluff and autocracy,
Ard in every nation our flag unfur!ed
To make our land safe for Demo-
cracy:
We launch today the Gunston Hall
In sight of men--the small! and
great
She'll stand the test-in calm and
s.quall
Because built and launched in the
mother State.
So to Virginia so grand and true
Whose sons have fought and lost
their all
We give three cheers for the Red,
White and Blue
Which will float from the mast of
Gunston Hall.
