GIRL WHO SUFFERED MORE BITTER EXPERIENCE THAN
 ANY OTHER LIVING PERSON

To be the sole survivor of 500,000 Chris tians sacrificed in the months which followed a fateful day :n 1915 is the experience of Aurora Mardiganian, the leading character in Auction of Souls, to be presented at the Trianon theatre. starting Monday, August IS.
 NOT YET A WOMAN
 Miss Mardiganian is an Armenian girl not yet arrived at the age of woman hood, who was the daughter of a prosper GUS Armenian, living in fertile valley not far from Mt Ararat at the time the Turks decided to steal the lands and property of the Armenians by using the prextext that they were under Russian protection.
 Miss Mardiganian, a very pretty girl, had been eyed for some time by a Turk who wished to marry her This man offered protection to her family if her father would turn her over to him. The father refused, and was killed be- fore the eyes of his daughter. Her brothers and sisters also were killed. and Miss Mardiganian was driven from the city with thousands of wretched. terrified refugees who were forced into the desert unprepared for the long tor tuous trip which followed
 Is MONTHS OF TERROR
 In the course of the next eighteen months every sort of indignity and cruel ty was visited upon the Armenian girl and her faithful friend. Miss Graham. a young English mission teacher who tried to save the Mardiganian family and who cast her fortunes with them when unable to do so.
 How the Armenians died of thirst in the desert, were struck down by brutal officers, were forced to swim rivers, and to throw away their children to Tighten boats, how the girls were hunted of nights by the drunken Turks, how they were sold in the slave market and forced into the harems of Turkish chiefs, al is shown in the picture, which is a real

 June of this year, for example. was greater by nearly 10 per cent than the supply on hand at the same time last year and yet the wholesale price was 4o cents a dozen as against 30 cents q year ago. The stock of frozen fowls had increased more than 29S per cent, and yet the price had risen also, from 841a cents per pound to STE cents. The supply of creamery butter had increased a 129 per cent and the price from 4 to 53 cents per pound. The supply of salt beef had been Augmented three per cent and the price had gone up from sS4 barrel to sS6 a barrel. Canned corn had increased in stock nearly 92 per cent and had remained substantially the same in price.
 FEW DECLINES NOTED
 "Tn a few foodstuns the prices had de clined, but in nothing like the propor- ton in which the supply had increased. For example. the stock of canned toma- toes had increased 102 per cent and yet the price had declined only 9 cents per dozen cans. In some cases there had been the usual result of an increase of price following a decrease of supply, but in almost every instance the increase of price had been disproportionate to the decrease in stock.

 Every detail of it's is true. It pictures the story of Miss Mardiganian, and up on the report which was made to the allied governments by Viscount James Bryce, the Englishman who was placed at the head of the commission to in yestigate Miss Mardiganian's charges oT Armenian atrocities.
 Never has it been the fortune Of girl to serve her own people as Aurora Mardiganian has done. For once she told her story here to influential people it's great lesson was seen, and she was urged to do everything in her power tof impress the American mind with it's st< riousness
 So, in addition to writing about her ex-N periences, and speaking of them, she went before the motion picture camera and acted them once again, that the sympathy of the hundred million people in America might go out to the greates sufferers in human history.

STORAGE REGULATION NEEDED

''To the same end, I earnestly rec ommend, in the second place, that the Congress pass a law regulating cold storage as it is regulated, for example, by the laws of the state of New Je.-- sey, which limit the time during which goods may be kept In storage, pre- scribe the method of disposing of them if kept beyond the permitted period, and require that goods released from storage shall in all cases bear the date of their receipt It would ma terially add to the serviceability of the law, for the purpose we now have in view, if it were also prescribed tha.

chant with whom he trades than he has hitherto exercised.
 "I believe, too, that the more ex-
 treme leaders of organized labor
 will presently yield to a sober sec
 Ond thought, and, like the great
 mass of their associates, think and
 act like true Americans. They will
 see that strikes undertaken at this
 critical time are certain to make
 matters worse, not better-wOrse
 for them and for everybody else.
 The worst thing, the most fatal
 thing. that can be done now is to
 stop or interrupt production or to
 interfere with the distribution of
 goods by the railways and the ship
 ping of the country.
 ALL MUST UNITE
 We are all involved in the distress ing results of the high cost of living and we must unite, not divide, to cor rect it. There are many things that ought to be corrected in the relations between capital and labor. in respect of wages and conditions of labor and oth CT things even more far-reaching, and I, for one am ready to go into confer ence about these matters with any group of my fellow countrymen who know what they are talking about and are willing to remedy existing condi- tions by frank counsel rather than by violent contest. No remedy is possible while men are in a temper, and there can be no settlement which does not have as it's motive and standard the general interest Threats and undue insistence upon the interest ofaa single class make settlement impossible.
 @I believe, as l have hitherto had
 occasion to say to the Congress,
 that the industry and life of our
 people and of the world will suffer
 irreparabIe damage if employers
 and wOrkmen to go on in
 perpetual contest, antagonists.
 They must, on one plan or another,
 be effectively associated. Have we
 not steadiness md sed-P0ssessiOn
 and business sense enough to work
 out that resalt:
 Undoubtedly we have and we shall work it out. In the meantime-now and in the days of readjustment and re- cuperation that are ahead of us--let us resort more and more to frank and intimate counsel and make ourselves great and triumphant nation by mak- ing ourselves a united force in the life of the world. It will not then have looked to us for leadership in vain.
