The Johnson Brothers are two boyish chaps who act as end men, while Johnson is the in- terlocutor. They present a minstrel first part that has the advantage of being up to the minute in comedy songs and dances. This bill of IT en- tertainers is without an equal in their particular line.
 Two dapper chaps. Bob Lyons and Jimmy Clayton, appear as Italian street singers and musicians. who fea- ture selections on the piano, violin and guitar and score hit with their orig inal offering.
 Frank Dae and Margaret Neville present a farce comedy with the home as background, called Any Couple. This was written by the players, tell ing the troubles of business man, a perpetual grouch, with a sweet wife, who cures him by trying home of the medicine that he has been giving her for years on him. It is well acted and thoroughly enjoyable.
 Mildred Ford and Harry Hewitt of fer bit of pantomime. with MT. Hewitt as a polar bear and Miss Ford as a little bit of snow and fluff, the pantomime taking place in the far re- gions of the north.
 The Weise troupe are sensational and thrilling aerialists, performing g daring feats on the perch and bars.

SECOND INDUSTRIAL
 CONFERENCE AT WORK
By Associated Press

Washington. December 4-Counsel will be sought from both labor and employers by the second industrial conference before the final report is prepared. Delegates to the conference said today they would endeavor to formulate a programme for harmoniz- ing industrial relations, which would be regarded as fair by both the work men and capital, and which would meet with such public approval that neither side to a controversy would be willing to ignore the suggestion.
 Because of the wide field of subjects before the conference, it probably will be 10 days or more before outside ad- vice is asked

 FURTHER ACTION IN
 MEXICAN SITUATION
1oontinued from rage oneo

titude against invasion of American rights in the southern republic, MT. Ians- ing was quoted as saying, was reached some months ago and now was about to develop whether the Carranza regime would accept or disregard it. He was sad to have added that the administration was prepared to go to whatever length was necessary to enforce that policy
 Neither the Secretary nor the admnis traton senators however, were repre- sented as expressing directly any opposi tion to the Fall resolution. Several at tempts to postpone action on it came from the democratic side and Senator Hitch cock, acting democratic leader of the Senate, suggested substitute by whch the Senate werely woudl ndorse the state departments course in the matter and de- clare in advance it's support of the Presi- dent should he decide to break off diplo- matic relations.
 During the day Henry P. Fletcher American ambassador to Mexico, also went before the committee and was said to have covered many of the same points as did the Secretary in reply to questions about the attitude of the state department. For some weeks he has been stationed here and has assisted in the diplomatic correspondence now in prog ress regarding the case of William O.. Jenkins the American consular agent under arrest at Puebla.
 A reply now is awaited from Carranza to the latest American note requesting Tn sharp terms that Jenkins he released, and advices reaching here today indicated that a commission might be asked for by the Mexican President to settle the dispute. It was said Mir, Lansing did not indicate what course this government might take should the reply prove satisfactory, but was very emphatic in his declaration that | ha TTy,ifed St3tes YaldV tO shoulder any consequences which might result from it's demands for protection of Amer ican rights.
 INSIDE STORY TOLD Virtually all of Ambassador Fletcher's statement to the committee related to the Jenkins case. but Sec retary Lansing was drawn into de- tailed discussion of the whole general subject of relations with Mexico and told the inside story of the American governments attitude during recent years.
 The great obstacle to a break with Mexico before the United States en- tered the European war. MT. Lansing is understood to have said. was the fact that such a break might have had consequences which would have de- stroyed the Presidents hope of avoid ing entanglement in the conflict over seas Fear of that result. he was quoted as saying, was based on the large num- Der of European interests in Mexico and the suspected sympathy between Carranza and the German government.
 With the declaration of war with Germany. it was said. the situation be- came even more embarrassing because it was a part of Germany's war game to stir up trouble for the United States on this continent. MT. Lansing was said to have added that in these cir cumstances the administration felt it should go long way in conserving its

 There is really a story to this farce, Once more Ben Turpin and Conklin are members of show, and this time it Is repertoire company, and they stage the old favorites Theatregoers remember ''Shen1ndoah," but they never saw IL played as Ben Turpin does, cast as the young hero. And as for ''Salome," it IS a masterpiece.

 Elsie Ferguson has, a most appealing role in "Countorfeit," where she is cast as D southern girl, who joins the secret 5ervice because she has no money. How ,he traces down a gang of counterfeiters makes an interesting story. This big o'l will be shown through Saturday only.

Washington. ID. C.-Why is the cost
of food so high?
Most answers to that question, ac
cordng to n bulletin from the NATION
al Geographic Society, go no farther
than the grocer, the wholesaler, OF
perhaps the cost of farm labor.
But to trace to their sources many
staple edibles found on the American
dinner table one must go beyond sta'e'
national lines and frequently across
the ocean, it is pointed out. Inc pui'
Ietin quotes from a communication 10
the society from William Joseph Sho-
walter as follows:
could we turn loose our fancy as
we dine. we could see great army
of men and women working that we
might eat. The eppetite of men now
levy tribute upon all the continents
and all the seas, and where once an
roads led to Rome, now they come ui'
rectlv to our dinner tables.
Let us sit down to dinner ana go
over the menu and try to list those
who have assisted in the preparation
of our meal. ,
"At the top of the list comes olives
and salted nuts. The olives mayhap
are from Spain, the almonds iro"

The salt on the nuts was prepared Ill

that came from Michigan.

q Th@ Editorial Page Of The Daily Ardmor@it@ .

We quote from the Knoxville Sentinel:
Henry Ford says he seldom reads beyond the
headlines in the newspapers. That goes Tar TO
account for his trouble. By following this
method consistently he will know just enough
to know everything wrong" The Knoxville
Sentinel is the first newspaper to nsinuate that
headlines are misleading. The Ardmoreite be-
leves that its own headlines indicate what Is
in the body of the story following. That is the
purpose of headlines. However, there are eX-
ceptons. Today's Oklahoman carries two
frst-page stories with Ardmore date lines.
"Ardmore Woman Kills Husband After Quar-
REL" and "Ardmore Veteran Found Where
Mule He Rode Had Pulled Him." The reader
finds that in the first instance the killing took
place near a village in Love county and the
mule incident happened at Milburn, in Johns
ton county On the editorial page of The Ok
lahoman is the paragraph quoted above from
| the Knoxville Sentinel. The Oklahoman surely
must agree with the Tennessee contemporary
both in theory and practice.
