speak of the cast, giving, of course,
first place to Alice Joyce, but it would
be unjust not to give credit where
credit is due, hence it must be said
that the leading lady is largely aided
in her work by the very excellent sup
port given her by GLADDEN. James as
the impetuous son of the House of
Jeffries," played stunningly by this
young actor, who has all the dash and
style necessary to portray a role of
this character.

and Anders Randolf as the father, who
is furiously angry with his son, of
whom he expected SO much, because
of his marriage, and subsequently dis
inheriting him, make an excellent foil

REVENUE AGENTS
 TAKE UP WURK
 OF ENFORCEMENT

Washington. Oct. 29-Armed with the drastic provisions of the prohibi- ton enforcement act, which became effective as to war time prohibition with passage by the Senate of the measure over the Pres: dents veto late yesterday, agents of the Bureau of Internal Revenue today took up the task of making abso-u-e the ban on the manufacture and sale of Liuqor.
 The few remaining saloons in the United States were legally open today for the sale only of beverages con taining less than one-half of one per cent. alcohol. Sale as well as manu- facture of beverages of more than that alcoholic content laid the saloon keeper as well as the brewer or d.s- tiIer liable to heavy penalties. But despite it's drastic provisions. the law could not touch the man who had stored up a supply in his own home for his own use.

CALLS SH0VDOl'u ON EXPENDITURES
 OF flEIiI CONGRESS

Washing gton, D. C., Oct 2S.-Cau for a show down on the inactivity of Congress during the five month period since May has been made in the House by Representative Aswell of Louisiana. In the form of nine reso- lutions asking for information on the expenditures of the so-calIed inves- tigating committees Congressman As well has challenged the Republican Congress to make a statement on what has been accomplished.
 In a statement read in connection with the offering of the resolutions the Republicans are accused of hay ing fallen dow. on their own Iegisla- tive program offered at the beginning of the present extra session, which they were anxious to have called and during which period they have done absolutely nothing by way of con struct5ve legislation.
 The resolutions ask Congress for information on the amount of money spent for witnesses, travelling, print ing and elsewise by the ''war investi- gating'' committees, the amount of clerical hire indulged by these com mittees has spent in the bus. ness of investigatin MT. Asweu character ized the committees as purely politi- cal and instituted for the purpose of securing 1920 political thunder" In effect his resolutions ask these com nlittees to make some report on what they have found out that twas not already known
 In addition to the expenses of the business of Congress. which are de- clared to be approximately S20,000 day or more than $2,600,000 to date in the special session of Congress, the smelling committees of the Re- publican Congress have extended money lavishly it is claimed. This money, Congressman Aswen reminds, comes out of the public pocket and the public has right to know how much money is being squandered and whether it is being spent with purpose of finding out something not already known or is being used pure ly as a Republican campaign fund to air so-ca1led scandal.

Collector of Internal Revenue James J. Walsh, when told of the passage of the enforcement bill over the Presidents veto, said that his de- partment was prepared to carry out the enforcement work in this s,ate.
 'I have between eighty and 100 men available for enforcement work MT Walsh said, but am confident that we will not eXper,ence any trou- ble and it will not be necessary to ask for additional aid from Washing ton-aIthough we can get all of the assistance desired.
