AZ the Strand

While dealing with the time worn
subject of the eternal triangle" 10Th
or Mems Wives" the current attraction
at the Strand. depicts in clever and
most unusual way the final working
out of the triangle. Dorothy Dalton
plays the leading role and appears to
better advantage than ever before. The
picture tells Of New York society life
and many scenes Of beautiful homes and
surroundings are shown as a back
ground for beautiful gowns. The most
gorgeous of these are worn by Mis-.
Dalton. In addition to the role played
BY Miss Dalton there are only three
other important characters in the
story. These parts We're ably pre-
sented. ..--
Cynthia Brock, q society butterfly.
played by Miss Dalton. Is left penni-
less by the death Of her father ana -
forced into a most unusual situation,
thru her lack Of funds. by Fenwick
Flint. He is infatuated with James
Gordon's wife. Viola, beautiful wom-
an with little moral scruple. That she
may have cause for divorce, Flint in
duces Cynthia to get Gordon into a
compromising situation with her for
which he offers to- pay her the sum Of
$780, 900. Cynthia endeavers to play
Flint's game, only to discover that she
loves Gordon and he her. Falling into
a wen laid trap Cynthia and Gordon
ere. placed at the mercy Of Flint and
Viola. The episode which leads to the
announcement is in itself Of an entire
ly innocent nature but is sufficient for
the purposes of the two conspirators.
Gordon agrees that his wife shall d.
vorce him and he offers to vindicate
Cynthia by making her his wife. Gym
thia denounces Flint anc leaves the
house. She disappears from the fast
set and established herself in the bust
ress world where she and Gordon meet
later and both find happiness.
The remainder of the evenings en-
tertainment consists Of some excellent
slides of the Fourth of July parade.

Thru the untiring efforts of EN-
mons N. Edsall. Of the Rude Auto
Company, who played the role OF de-
tective, assisted by the sheriffis office
in phoning description Of Charles
Hodina, alias Joe Stopka, and the Ford
automobile obtained from the Rude
Auto Company on a forged check, the
police late Tuesday were enabled to
apprehend Hodina. The alleged forger
was arrested at the Will Stouffer farm
nine and one-half miles south OF the
city, directly west of Luray and south
of Lamoille, where he was employed,
late Tuesday evening. The car was
recovered and Hodina was brought to
this city and placed in Jail.
The first clue obtained by Edsall
was the result of notification by the
sherifrs office over the rural telephone
lines, in which a description Of the car
and man were given. Edsall was noti-
fled that Hodina had obtained ca-
Saturday and the former Immediately
left for the Stouffer farm
Keeps on Hodina's Trail.
Edsall located his man and followed
him about the farm as he did his
chores until he was positive he was on
the trail Of the right man and until
he was sure the missing car was in
Hodina's possession.
Edsall then went to a neighboring
place and telephoned the sheriffs Of
flee. Both Sheriff Charles Henry and
Deputy Sheriff Starn were out of the
city serving papers and Edsall called
George w. Wigs, of the Rude Com
pany, who called upon the city police
department.
Accompanied by Officer Coffman.
Wigs drove to the Stouffer farm,
where Hodina was placed under ar
rest by Coffman. The missing car
later was brought back to the city.
Claims to Have Bought Car.
Hodina today, when questioned by
Sheriff Henry, declared he had pur-
chased the car in this city Saturday
from a bearded man about 20 or %
years Of age. He declared he paid
$175 on the car and agreed to pay
an additional $50 at some future
time. He was not however, able to
give the name Of the man from whom
he purchased the car. His descrip-
ton Of the man from whom he made
the purchase does not, however, agree
with that. given by. the Rude Com
pany employees of the man who passed
the worthless check. They are, on the
contrary, convinced that Hodina was
the man who made the purchase In
the Rude company garage Saturday.
Both Edsall and George w. Wigs.
who made the sale, nave identified
Hodina.
Hodina claims to have acquired the
car thru purchase about 2 o'clock
Saturday afternoon. The car was sold
from the Rude shops about noon.
Hodina Returned Soldier.
Hodina is said to be a returned SOL
der and was employed by Stouffer
as a farm hand few weeks ago.
Little is known Of the young man
here or in the vicinity where he
worked.
The check given in payment of the
car was said today to have been made
payable to Joe Stopka, and was signed
with the name Of Sam Meyers. The
check, for $500, is a forgery.
County Attorney A. B. Hoover said
this forenoon that it was unlikely
Hodina would be arraigned today.

But Are Not Mentioned.

But Are Not Mentioned.
Altho they were equally responsible
with the Red Cross organization in Sc
curing first prize for the best showing
Of societies and organizations in the
Fourth Of July parade, the canteen
workers failed to receive the credit
due them. In making their decision
the judges considered the Red Cross
and the canteen workers floats as rep
resenting one organization and an
nounced the award of the prize to the
Red Cross. There was no intention on
the part of the judges in making their
decision or in announcing the result
to fail to give due credit to the can
teen workers, but failed to judge the
two floats as representing two separ-
ate organizations.
Officers Of the Red Cross have call
ed attention to the fact that the can
teen workers were participating in tn,
parade Independently, and the judges
have announced that the cantee,
workers were taken into consideration
and we're equally responsible for the
| award being made to the Red Cross
with the thought that the two floats
were representing the one organization
AS the Red Cross Is not now as active
as 1t was during the war it's officials
feel that the, credit should be given
largely to the canteen workers. What
disposition will be made Of the prize
money is not known.
The canteen workers, in uniform
made a handsome appearance in ttieil
float, and their showing caused much
appreciative comment, but because the
float was placed with that Of the Red
Cross the mistake was made that both
floats were intended to represent the
Red Cross, in It's different branches. 4

DROP MAIL BAG
TO MOVING LINER

NEW YORK. Aug. 15.-The first
mail to be delivered to an outgoing
steamship by plane was successfully
dropped on the forward deck OF the
White Star liner Adristic yesterday.
two hours after the liner left her
dock.
Air Pilot Zimmerman took the bag
from Daniel Z. Jordan, assistant SUI
perintendent of mails. and started af-
ter the Adriatic in his seapiane at
$3.50 In less than thirty minutes he
had oyertalSen the liner, cireled ahead
Of her for a few minutes and then
dropped the mail bag. the line at
tached to it catching in the forward
rigging where 1t was seized by the
ships quartermaster.
The departure OF the Adriatie
marked the reopening of the White
Star service to Cherbourg and South
ampton, which was abandoned when
war broke out in 1914. J. F. Per-
shing, a brother of General Pershing
and a clothing manufacturer Of Chi
cago, was one OF the passengers.

PARIS FOOD PRICES
ORDERED POSTED

PARIS, Aug. 15.-As the direct out
come OF the demonstrations in the
central markets, leading the staH-
keepers to refuse TO order supplies,
in resentment of the activities of the
recently formed Consumers League,
the Paris market stocks are far be-
low the usual quantities. This condi-
ton naturally caused advances in
prices.
The authorities have taken action
TO check fresh outbreaks in the Vicin-
ity Of the markets and also to pre-
vent waste OF foodstuffs. One of the
measures which receives general ap-
prevail is a decree that all dealers
publish, their prices, which will be
compared with the normal prices
officially set.
The League OF Consumers, which
had marked success in lowering
prices, has been asked by the au-
thorities to discontinue its campaign.
Another measure which pleases the
French housewives provides for
booths all over the city, from which
vegetables will be sold at prices
much lower than the shops have been
asking.

CANNING EXHIBIT
At POTOMAC PARK

Arrangements are being made for
a canning demonstration to be given
at Potomac Park next Wednesday
afternoon from o'clock to $3.50, the
Department of Agriculture announces
This demonstration will be public and
for the benefit especially OF those
whose war gardens this year have
been successful
William c. Hall, agricultural agent
for the District OF Columbia, declares
much Of the produce raised by Wash
ington farmers in the gardens in Po-
tomac Park is going to waste. He
says there is a great waste in ripe
tomatoes especially. These, he de-
clared, are ripening faster than the
gardeners are taking care OF them.
Valuable food products are going to
waste by failure to gather and either
sell or can. he says.
He suggests gathering these
products and replanting with spinach
kale, turnips, lettuce or radishes for
fall and winter use.

BUGS SEIZE SHIP;
HOIST BLACK FLAG

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Federal au-
thorities have taken charge Of the
American schooner Augusta G. Hill
ton, which arrived yesterday from
Buenos Aires with a cargo OF grain
and q pest of weevils.
Capt. Orlando c. Sawyer said the
weevils made the two months voy-
age a nightmare.
The weevils became so thick on the
deck, members of the crew solemnly
avowed, that sometimes II was neees-
sary to rig up a hose and blow pas
sageway through them to work the
ship.
The cook finally reported he would
have to stop serving hot meals, be-
cause every time he lifted the lid on
a pot a score of the bugs jumped in.
The sailors hung their hammocks
in the rigging and tied rope ends
around the bottom OF their trousers
TO Keep out the bugs. They stuffed cot
ton in their ears, and the captain
covered his mouth when he shouted
orders.
Captain Sawyer has only one good
eye, and it was injured when weeyil
blew into IL.

TURK GIRLS DROP

and American colleges, has gently. but
finally. unpinned the veil Of extreme
retirement which formerly obscured
the comedy features Of Turkish
women. They will never wear the
veil again. so DR.. Mary Willis Patrick

their sample of Occidental feminine

termed at Constantinople after the
United States declsred war on Ger

tractive. Some Of them married.
No wells for the faces OF sailor
brides; they were free to promenade

desired, and the navy men were too
proud OF their new helpmates to per-
nit their faces TO be obseuTed by the
veil OF custom.

FARMERS PROTEST
OHIO MILK ARRESTS

The National Board of Farm organi-
cations. with headquarters in Wash
ington, has issued an appeal to all
farmers of the country to protest by
petition, ballot or "other lawful and
orderly means" against alleged 'un.
fair and un-American methods being
used against farm organizations en-
gagged in the collective sale Of their
farm products.
The assoc alton protests against the
arrest on August . or officers OF the
Obi Farmers Cooperative Milk
Company and their later indictment
by the grand jury OF Cleveland for
hafing acted as Representatives of the
farmers who were selling milk TO the
dealers in the city.
The farm oEganization's body calls
attention TO the fact that the men
were acting in behalf OF farmers who
were doing collective bargaining for
che sale of their products, and states
that in the past two years farmers
from outside the cities have been
caught within their boundaries and
branded as felons for. daring to con-
fer with their neighboF or for joining
with them in the sale Of their milk
or other common products; that in
dictments are stiIl pending in some
cases, and all without due regard to
the farmers increased cost OF pro-
duction."

GERMANY TOPLACE
BIG GRAIN ORDERS

BERLIN, Aug. 15.-Germany's crop
estimates were still incomplete today,
but the government had decided II
would need about the same imports Of
grain as were purchased before the
war. Just how these imports were to
be obtained in view of the present
world food shortage the government
had not determined.
Germany's estimate of food stocks
she must buy abroad, based on pre-
war figures, were:
Two million tons of wheat, three
million tons of barley, a million tons
of corn and half a million tons each
of bran. oil seeds and oil cakes.
Germany would like to buy in still
larger quantities IL she thought il
possible. she would prefer to get
three million tons of wheat and from
FIVE to six million tons of corn, so as
to have a surplus for stock raising
and save on importation OF meat.
