Pepto- Miami gan PuriEes the BIood

Scientists like to compare the red
corpuscles in the blood to an army.
The red corpuScles are diSc-shaped,
smooth cells which swim in the blood
in large numbers. They take up and
carry away impurities from all parts
of the body.
When disease germs enter your
body tand millions do every day. it is
the red corpuscles that attack and
destroy them.
If you blood is weak and sluggish
and loaded with poisons, the disease
germs are able to multiply quickly.
That isAwhen you are pale and what
you call run down."
That is When you need to take that
great tonic, Pepto- Mangan. 1t con-
tains the ingredients your blood needs
to build it up and increase the num-
Der of red corpuscles.
Pepto- Mangan is for sale at your
druggists. and in both LIQUID and tab
let form. They have exactly the same
ingredients. Take whichever you
prefer. But to make sure you get the
genuine, ask for "Gude's Pepto-M Man
gam" and be sure the name 'Gude's"
is on the package. 1t

Cincinnati Beats Capital in Race
To Be First in Making
Returns.

For the first time In the history of
the Census Bureau, Washington was
defeated for irst place among the
large cities OF the country in order OF
completing the enumeration work. II
was announced today by Census on
cials.
To Cincinnati goes the honor OF
winning FIRST place this year. its emu
meration work having been officially
completed two days ago. Washing
ton stands second on the list the last
name having been turned in this
morning.
In the 1910 census Washington was
first and Cincinnati Second.
Washington would probably have
been first this year had IL not been
for the fact that one OF the districts
had to be enumerated twice because
OF mistakes in the first list.
Figures on the population OF Wash
ington and Cincinnati will be an
n9unced within two weeks at the
latest. it was stated today. All ng-
ures are now in the hands of tabu-
lators.
So far, none OF the other large
cities has completed its enumeration.
though this work is very nearly I'm
lshed in several. notably New York
and Chicago. They will both be COM
pleted this week, 1t is thought

clare the brokerage firm a bankrupt,

west, was opened by some person un-
known to him and the books and Sc

pirio declared in his answer today,
were carried on the books kept by the

appeared. 1t is impossible, he con-
tends, without the books, which are
the only written record of the firms
transactions, to say whether orders
were given for the sale of stock held

executed.
Mr.. Shappirio asks that the rule

PRINCETON PLAYERS
DUE HERE TOMORROW
isle of Surprise" viii Present
Triangle Club in Tuneful
Farce at Belasco.

When the 'Tsle Of surprise" is pre-
sented in Washington tomorrow It
win be the first appearance OF this
production of the Princeton Univer-
sity Triangle Club in this city. The
performance will be given at the Be
lasco Theater with the Same cast that
has appeared In so many successful
performances.
During the Christmas vacation, the
Triangle Club presented tho "Isle OF
Surprise" in ninc large cities in the
East and middle West. In every city
II played before a full house and met
with much praise,
The Isle OF Surprise" has been
styled by it's composers, II. Harris and
u. III. Coffey, as an Oriental melo-
farce with musical accompaniment.
The setting for the isle" is laid in
the Arabian Sea, and this gives a
warm Oriental atmosphere to the
whole plot. which is relieved however
1t frequent intervals by the intro
luction of Americans and English
men, who bring modern humorous
touch into the Orient with them.
The fact that n. Harris, who wrote
tho music, was made an offer for
twenty-five OF his songs by New
York publisher Is sufficient recon-
mendation Of his power In music. In
stead OF following tho usual type OF
music found in a college show, Harris
has attempted to make this produc-
lion of a SENT classical nature.

ace Theater, this morning, when the
orphans from three Washington
homes, as guests Of Mr.. Beatus and
The Washington Times. descended
upon the theater in a swarm to see
Mary Pickford in "Pollyanna."
Here's the way 1t happened. When
Mr.. Beatus decided that "Pollyanna"
would come to Loew's Palace, he be-
Iieved that Washington orphans
should be given an opportunity to see
the picture. Arrangements were made
by Mr.. Beatus with The Times for
he children to go to the theater.
Rudolph Jose, of the Washington
Cadillac Company, and Ray Semmes,
Of the Semmes Motor Company, voI
unteered to bring the children from
the homes to the theater and return
them at the end of the performance.
The War Camp Community Service
guaranteed TO see that the children
were properly taken care of by its
representatives.
Then Walter Brownley, president
II Brownley's Fruit and Nut shop,

plan, and decided TO give tne cnl!uren

This morning sixty-nine children
from the Washington Orphan Asylum,

BASE. j. 5. PAY
ON KEY JOBS
Groups Having Largest Number
To Be Foundation of Salary
Revision.

Salary recommendations for Gov
eTnment employees which Will be pro-
sented to Congress by the joint COM
mission on reclassification OF salaries,
are being built up according to key
positions" IT was learned this morn
ing.
In each class OF employees there Is
one group which, by the like nature
OF it's work, outnumbers the others,
according to the principle guiding the
commission.
Example Is Cited.
AS an example. the District Fire
Department can be used. Privates
form the largest group OF employees
in this class, and they therefore hold
the key position" which forms q
salary basis from which the commits
sion is working upward to the lieu
tenant. captain and higher officers.
1t is declared that a greater equity
can thus be obtained. After de-
termining what the key positions"
are worth, II becomes an easier task
to calculate what the position next
higher should pay by considering the
added duties and responsibilities.
With the time for the completion
OF its report but one month away the
commission Is daily working on sal
ary recommendations, this being
about the only one big task still re-
naming to be done.

In fixing salaries for key po-
sitions" the commission is cayefully
Weighing the mass OF data in its
hands. Such data includes living con-
ditions, salaries paid in private en-
ployment and other factors.
Contrary to what the general belief
might have been, the commission is
working both upward and downward
from the key positions" There are
jobs lower than those occupied by
the Proclamation group OF employees
There was a general impression that
the commission was starting at the
lowest position in any one particular
class and working up to the highest
in fixing salaries.

Now, don't you think this is tough
luck?

workers in a certain division of the
War Department plan to give a
dance. One Of those fashionable af-
fairs at the Wardman Park Inn.
Now. as luck will have it, the wom-
en- in the division outnumber the men,
There have been whispers Of some of
the girls having to spend the evening
at home because there were not
enough dancing. partners to 60
around. Until late hour 1t appeared
that unless some young Lochinvars
came out of the West, itsIwould be n
most unsuccessful evening for more
than one pretty war worker.
Now, suppose you were pretty

had been dreaming of going to a
dance at a swell place" all your life,
and the time came, and you didn't
have a dancing partner in your di-
vision-when all of sudden some
body remembered IT was leap year.
