INSURANCE RATES

Tt has been alleged an insurance trust exists for the purpose of maintaining high insurance rates and after investigation if you find that such a trust does exist in Jefferson county, then it is your duty to return indictments, and in the event you do not find this the case then the evidence should be submitted to the next grand jury
 ''The prevalence of speeding is becom- ing a matter of serious comment to the citizens of the county, and the safety of the people must be observed. The act of speeding in itself is dangerous to us all. Many times drivers say that the children must be kept off the streets, but many times the children of moderate circumstances live enclosed in small apartments and yards and they cannot be kept up without injury to their health. They have a natural right to play upon the highways, and it is incumbent upon motorists to have regard for their safety. It is your duty to investigate this class of cases thoroughly and indict when ever it appears to you the law is being viola ted !"

WEST END.

Lord and Lady Algy,'' the new Goldwyn photop1ay in which Tom
 Moore is starred, again demonstrates the possibilities of the screen to pre- sent vast spectacular effects without in the least affecting the dramatic merit of the story. The picture which will be shown at the West End the atre tonight an.dp tomorrow combines some of the most colorful spectacIes with a beautiful and dramatic story. IA huge ballroom scene and the run ming of the Derby are both shown viXid1y on the screen. The Limitations of the theatre strike one especially in a picture of this kind, in which the important events are picturized, a thing physically impossible for the stage to accomplish.
 In the story which was first pro duced as a play, the author, R. c.
 Carton, presents young Lord and his wife estranged because of his love of betting. Although the young peo- pie see each other, they meet only as friends; but the wife is always watch ing her husbands betting deals. and endeayors to discover the horses he favors, only for the sake of backing g others and thus making good the losses which he inevitably rolls up. The climax is reached when Lord Algy is financially ruined through his plunging on his own race horse, and his wife wins.

 the youths fall upon their mental re-

PLAZA.

Nursery Iand' with Ted and Katherine Andrews is the feature act at the Plaza theatre. It is a song and dance revue of an unusual char acter which gained a good deal of well-earned applause. There is special scenery carried with the act and the effect given is good. The songs and dances are all exclusive and done in an artistic manner. McCann and Rouble in a song and nut comedy turn went big. Their comedy is or iginal and the singing is good. Louise Vernon is very pretty and talented. She offers 8 high class singing and violin diversion that went good She has good personality and puts her numbers over in a clever manner. The Reubens, a man and woman in a, mighty clever shadowgraph act has a very novel offering. The chara cters which they form with their hands are marvellous. Florence Reed in Her Game" is an excellent drama with a very interesting story. Conway Tearle and Florence Billings do some notable work in the play. Fox News and Screen Magazine Supplement completed a good bill.

How to Banish Wrinkles
 and Crows Feet Quickly

If your face is disfgured with wrinkles, no matter what the cause, you can quickly dispeI every line, even the most obstinate, by using a simple homemade wash lotion. Merely dissolve an ounce of powdered saxoLte in a half pint witch hazel ingredients found in any drug store. Bathe the face in this, and-presto! you scarcely believe your own eyes when you look into your mirror and behold the marvellous transformation!
 The remarkable astringent action of the saxoIte so tigthens the skin, wrinkles are literally pressed out. Best of all, this result is not purely temporary, for the lotion also has a healthfuI tonic action, which tends to strengthen and tone up the weakened tissue, and added benefit may be ex- pected with continued use. Use this once a day for awhile; it cannot in- jure the most delicate skin. The treatment itself leaves no trace-no 0ne guesses the secret of your in- ,reasing youthful appearance.-Adv.

POLES,

Lovers of cIean-cut comedy had another treat last night when ''The Egg Crate Wallop,' starring the ever popular Charles Ray, was seen at Polls in conjunction with what real ly amounted to an au-star vaudeville bill. Rays latest picture is based upon the fascinating subject of fight dom, and he Is given the opportunity 10 participate in a real, honest-to- Mabel fight that is a pippin.
 There is no pulling of punches, to use ring parlance, when Ray and the william open up on each other. Their affair is staged in a regulation ring, and with the bIeachers crammed with several thousand frenzied fans, it looks for all the world like the gen. uine article.
 The vaudeville is featured by a miniature musical comedy, "A Little Cottage,' and from the success which it met it is easy to predict that this tabloid form of amusement will soon shove the tiresomely long musical com edies from their throne. "A Little Cottage" is devoid of dull mo- ments, carries a real plot, and boasts of principals who have ability. The special music of the production is not its slightest feature, either.
 Ben Bernie, ''The Syncopated Vio- Enist," responded to several encores. Bernie can make his instrument gO through all kinds of tricks, and his numbers were especially well select ed. The Barry Girls scored with a singing and dancing act, and Lew Hof proved to be as good a mono Iogue comedian as he is a juggler.

"One Born Every Minute" a com edy play in four acts, written by Philip Cunning, a Bridgeport boy, was given a great ovation at it's in itial performance at the Lyric yes terday. Although the name of the play does not fully justify the theme, and has in reality no connection with the story, no fault could be found with the production itself. There is a bit of good originality in the humor of the story and a number of splendid characters, ably delineated.
 The play brims with action and al- though the plots are rather light, there is enough comedy and unique
