Loew's PaIacc-Double Bill.

The program at the Palace this
week runs exclusively to comedy, al
though Dorothy Gish, in her latest
film success. has succeeded in adding
romantic charm to her production
which leverly spies the film menu
served at the F street playhouse.
Dorothy Gish and Roscoe cFatty'')
Arbuckle are the film luminaries
cracing the headline positions on the
Palace bill and IT would be hard to
say which is funnier. Ever since
Dorothy Gish achieved her notable
success as a farceuse in Hearts of
.he World" that peppery star has
selected stories which enable her to
display that quality to the utrost.
u would be hard to find a vehicle,
incidentally. which enables her to dis
pay those talents to better advantage
than IN Get Him Yet" a spicy, rip
pling satire Of tremendous heart and
his income tax, makes over his ran
road holdings to her and she promptly
declines to be a dummy president
and runs the road herself. This would
not be so bad were 1t not for the fact
that she loves a young man who
hates rich mems daughters and so
firesse Is needed to prevent a collision
of important interests. In this picture,
Miss Gish is ably supported by a
strong cast that includes Richard
Barthelmess. George Fawcett, Ralph
Graves and others.
Fatty Arbuckle.-"Fatty." the
rollicking. the jovial, the Falstaffian
Fatty through a brilliant
satire called "A Desert Hero" as the
added feature OF the bill. 1t Is rare
that Arbuckle finds himself with a
subject half so rich in material as

A YEARS INDUSTRIAL
 ARMISTICE.

Allen Walker, New York financier, has recommended years armisticc between capital and labor as means of restoring stable economic condi- tions and bringing order out of the industrial chaos now prevailing.
 This is all very we'll and good and scarcely anyone doubts but that a years armistice would help some. However, when both capital and la bor have refused repeatedly to stand for an armistice of few weeks only, it is difficult to see how they can be induced to submit to years ar- mistice. If they refuse to wait two weeks, as the steel workers did, on an industrial conference, how can we expect them to wait longer for some thing even more unpromising
 Mir. Walkers remedy is good one but it is impractical It is reminis- cent of the story of the man who had a remedy for ending the war while it was at it's height. Gall con- ference of German and Allied lead ers," he said, land get them to call it off. That ought to stop it."

OUR GOLD STAR MOTHERS.

In the days when the Germans were being called Huns and you could sell Liberty bond to the meanest man in town there was much talk of the gold star mothers.
 Now-that the war is over, we seen to have forgotten them. The Red Cross ,the Y. M. c. A., the Salva- ton Army, the other organizations to which we contributed so generous ly during the war are still alive and are functioning We are still con- tributing to them, somewhat more cautiously it is true, but neverthe- less we are helping them. They have friends and their friends are seeing to it that they are not forgotten. We haven't forgotten the Belgians, nor the Armenians nor the Jews of all nations which were left destitute by the war. The mothers who gave their sons to the cause, however, seem to have been left to themselves. The other day in Chicago Texas woma T whose son, her only means of sup port, gave his life to America, tried to commit suicide. She was ill and penniless and couldn't make the grade. Today she has home and friends, but she had to try to kill herself to get them. It would be q good thing if we would pause amidst our postwar drives and take a cen sus of the women whose sons died in France and see if they are well and able to keep the wolf from the door. And for those of them who are not we should provide sufficient funds to keep them in comfort for the rest of their days. We shouldn't allow the greatest heroes of the war to be lost in the shuffle.

New York, Nov. 19.-From sky scrapers to churches and from the Stock exchange to the movies" with the horse show as side line, the Prince of Wales was whirled today in kaleidoscope view of the varied activities of the metropolis. Everywhere he went huge crowds cheered him to the echo, giving him a reception such as even New York has rarely ever witnessed before.
 The prince seemed to enjoy every minute of his strenuous program, but, judging by appearance, the hit of the day for him was the "movies." :"

THE. H. c. L. IN THE SOUTH.

For many years we have been ac- customed to speak of Chicago and New York as the highest priced towns in the United States.
 When man wanted to emphasize his remarks about high prices in a town, he would say convincingly: Why they are as high as New York or Chicago" That sort of remark was convincing. It brought to the mind picture of prices three or four times as high as they were in the smaller towns of the country.
 Now it's different. The average yearly family expenditure for P ar ticles of food in the 50 cities of the United States shows that Mobile, Birmingham, Memphis, Little Rock, New Orleans, Washington, Houston, Dallas and others are higher than New York and Chicago.
 If there were no artificial manipu- lation of prices, New York and Chi cago naturally would be somewhat higher in the cost of living than the smaller cities, especially the southern cities. This would hold true whether prices were high or low. There should properly be percentage in favor of the smaller towns in the az ricultural districts. And the only raason if doesn't hold trne now is ha. cause profiteering is more unbridled and competition less stringent in the south than in the country's two Iarg- est cities.
