The Theatres
WASHINGTON

Deep in its pathos, filled with hui
man emotion. depicting a wonderful
love, story full Of sweetness and 10y.
atty, 1.-THE Confession" Hal Reid's
wonderful stage play, has been made
into Super-feature motion picture at
a cost Of one hundred and ninety thou
sand dollars, and is said to be superb
artistically and dramatically.
Wherever it has been shown the
press has been unanimous in its
praise. Reid. who wrote Human
Hearts" and over a hundred other
successes, has a trick of bringing
tears to the eyes only to be driven
away by laughter; there is plenty of
excitement and a happy ending. This
seems to contain all the elements OF
a popular success. THE Confession" is
playing Tuesday and Wednesday al
the Washington.
RICHMOND.
Five thousand players were used
by William Fox in producing the sen
sational screen spectacle "Salome, At
which is showing at the Richmond for
the last time Tuesday. The great
dramatic screen pageant was to a
large extent labor of love. Mr.. Fox
grew absorbed in the wonderful story
and it's rich possibilities for film art
istry. Unsintingly he drew upon his
resources to create a protodrama with
out equal in the history of the cinema
Some idea of the expense involved
in staging "Salome" may be gained
from these two items: Two hundred
loads Of sand were hauled from the
beaches to the streets of the impro-
vised Jerusalem; twenty-five tons or
plaster and as many tons of cobble-
stones were used. A hundred sculr-
tors and mural decorators were kept
busy during the erection of the set
tings.
Much effort was lavished upon Sc
curing novel effects. Steam was used
to produce haZy effects in certain
scenes. Ten aeroplane propellers on
stationary pillars helped to produce
storm effects The total cost of the
production was more than $1.000,000
MURRETTE.
A picture that offers great promise
is at the Murrette for the last time
Tuesday, is Katherine Mac Donald, the
charming screen star and popular ia
vorite in her newest photoplay Of love
and mystery-"The Notorious Miss
Lisle''
This offering is a dramatlzatlon OF
the well-known novel of that name by
Mrs. Baillie Reynolds and it is direct
ed by no less noted parsonage than
James Young. To add to its import
ance Miss Macdonald is surrounded
by cast of universal excellence.
1t is fascinating subject to conjec-
ture upon as to what could be &C
complished by the new branch of sur
gerry in transferring monkey glands.
Marshall Neilan in his latest photoplay
GO And Get It," a First National at
traction, which comes to the Murrette
theatre, on Wednesday has chosen a
probable development as the force in
back of the dramatic story which the
picture shows. A surgeon has arranged
for the body of murderer who is to
be hanged. He transfers the brain of
the murderer to the skull Of living
ape The combination of the enorm-
Gus strength of the ape and the brain

Of the murderer causes a reaction that
provides one of the most battling
mysteries ever conceived by an author,
and the unraveltng of which gives op-
portunity for dramatic love story
filed with thrills and surprises.
In the opinion OF surgeons the idea
is not beyond the bounds of what may
be expected. Means have already
been discovered for treating and oper-
ating on the brain. Injections into the
base OF the brain are daily improving
the status of imbecilic children and
even grown people. Removal Of for.
eign matters from the brain are SO
common now as to excite no comment
More and more is being learned of the
brain every day and the operation upon
which the story of GO And Get It" is
based, may be a matter for accepted
science within a few years.

Melon Lice
E. e. RICE, GARDEN SUPERVISOR.

hive, oNnCGN
1t is cheaper to buy spraying mate
rails and fight the bugs on your melon
vine than it is to pay a dollar apiece
for watermelons Home grown melons
are just as good as the juicy specimens
shipped here from Georgia and Florida
Gardeners frequently become discour-
aged after the bugs strip the leaves
from the vines and destroy the crop.
The result is the watermelon is
scratched off the list.
Gardeners should not become dis
couraged when they see few bugs on
the vines. They are on the vines by
the thousands this year. Your patch
may be next, for throughout August
melon and cucumber plants may be
covered with great armies Of dark
colored plant lice, such as the green
melon aphis. The lice cluster on the
under side Of the leaves, causing the
foliage to wilt, curl up, and die.
These tiny creatures, usually not
more than one-fifteenth of an inch
long, originated from females which
migrated five or six weeks ago, from
weed patches along the borders of
the garden. The lice travel rapidly
from hill to hill, spreading to all parts
Of the patch within few days. They
are not so noticeable as the worms
and other chewing insects. The lice
pierce the leaves with their sharp
beaks and suck the juices from the
plant. They must be checked imme-
diately.
The nicotine spray is the remedy
now commonly used. For spraying
vine crops it should be applied at the
rate of about four ounces Of nicotine
sulphate to % gallons of water. 1t
will stick to the foliage much better
and will be more effective if a pound
Of laundry soap is Clipped up and dis
solved in the mixture. Where there
are only a few hills to be treated one
tablespoonful of the nicotine to one
gallon of soap suds will be about the
right proportion.
The lice stay on the under side of
the leaves where they will be in the
shade, and it is necessary to turn up
the vines to make sure that all parts
Of the bottom of the leaf are hit by
the spray.

convention of growers during
August, and it is possible dark tobac-
CO growing will be suspended in 1921.
The sentiment seems to favor this
step. In the meanwhile cooperative
ownership of the loose leaf floors Is
talked Of as a partial relief. SO as to
control both growing and selling.
The bankers, growers and business
men are also at work on large hold
ing corporation to carry the leaf until
the planter can afford to let go.
The real and lasting remedy lies IN
the Investigation OF crops, and this
gospel is now being preached with
good effect.
The troubles of the dark-leaf farmer
have no bearing on the welfare Of the
hurley or cigar leaf planter. These
tobaccos are mostly consumed at
home.

CONCERT AFFORDS
MUCH ENJOYMENT
Mems Union of Baptist Church Sc
cures Three Visiting Artists for
Gratuitous Entertainment.

The entertainment provided by the
Baptist Men IS union last evening in the
church was surprisingly fine. 1t was
"ladies night and instead of a
speaker and light lunch as is the Gus
tom at their regular meetings, the com
mittee in charge, consisting of T. s.
Knight, J. E. Haynes and w. c. Halla
day, provided concert of very high
order, and opened the church not only
to the Baptist ladies but to the public
as well, and there was large audience.
They could not have chosen more
wisely than by securing Miss Laura

Turner of Springfield, who is at the
head of the Turner school of music, a
baritone of rare gifts and attainments,
an organist of repute, chorus con-

setting of In Flanders Field, one of
his vocal numbers, and Miss Mary NJ

NOT COMING HERE
Lack of Hotel Room Due to Reserva-

Burlington Gets Convention.

On account of inadequate rooming
facilities the state Episcopal diocesan
which was to be held In
Brattleboro Feb. and ), has been
transferred to Burlington. When it was
found that all available rooms at the
Brooks House had been reserved for
Feb 4 and 5 by men who will be in Brat
tleboro to attend twoday sale of
Holstein- Friesan cattle an effort was
made to postpone the convention one
week, but the officers of the cOnven-
ton decided to make the transfer to
Burlington.
The transfer of this convention
which would bring from rs to 100 per-
sons into the town, emphasizes the ur-
gent need of an increased number OF
rooms, as the Episcopal church author
tiles here had been asked to provide
for at least IS clergy and laymen. The
shortage Of lodging facilities makes il
impossible for any organization to in
vite any convention to come to Brat
tleboro until they have first aseertaineC

tion which is likely to bring many ex
ira people into the town to occupy tn
available rooms at the hotel. To secur

TO REGULATE
WORLD MONOPOLIES
Member of Federal Trade Commission
Recommends Creation of an In
ternational Trade Commission.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Creation of
an international trade commission to deal
with those who seek a world monopoly
and are in a position to injure not only
the consumers in their own country, but
those in foreign nations as well, was
recommended by Huston Thompson, of
the federal trade commission, in an ad-
dress today before the Second Pan-Amer-
lean Financial conference.
Complaints should come through ma
tional trade commissions, Mr.. Thompson
said. and each cause tried before repre-
sentatives of the international body not
belonging to the nation whose citizens
were involved in the litigation.
"The definition of what was an un-
fair trade practice before this commits
sion could be found in the trade practices
already condemned by the laws of many
nations. both ancient and modern Mr.
Thompson said, ''the rulings of the re
spective trade commissions, the trade
practice submittal lists such as our
commission has already received from
some of our industries, the pronounce
ments of political economists, and above
all, in the common sense of those before
whom the case was presented after IN
vestigation and hearing.
Tn the universal publicity of the find
/ ings of such body would lie the correc
| tive.
Il have been asked who would police
the committing of the offenses. The an
swer is the same as in our domestic busi
ness-the competitor. Is there not every
reason to believe that under the inspira
ton of the respective national trade com
missions the industries in each nation
would write their own trade practic
submittal lists of unfair practices jus
as they are doing in this country"

sovIETs WON'T KEEP FAITH.
This Is Belief of Russian Embassy in

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-Not wish
ing it to appear as desire to withhold
from the suffering poor of Russia sup
plies of food or raw material necessary
to start manufactures, officials of the
Russian embassy here asserted that
their views of the plan exchanging
commodities between Bolshevik Russia
and the entente is that while some such
exchange is highly desirable it prob
ably cannot be brought about by the
means proposed. These officials believe
that the Soviet government will not in
good faith carry out any plan which
would permit supplies from the entente
countries to reach the actual sufferers
and naturally would do everything pos
sible to defeat efforts to weaken their
>hold upon power by Strengthening the
hands of the elements in Russia which
wish to throw them out. !
