WAR RIBBONS
 FOR AMERICANS

The local Marine Corps Recruiting Office at 1908 Main street, is daily expecting it's first allotment of 1S,0O0 fourrageres awarded by the French government to the men of the Fifth and Sixth Regiments and the Sixth Machine Gun Battalion which formed the Marine Brigade of the famous Second Division. The fourrageres are in the red and green colors of the Croix de Guerre for military units that have been cited two or three times in the General Orders of the French Army, and arrived in Wash ington a few days ago.
 Authorization cards for all men who were with the Marine infantry regiments at Be1leau Woods, Soissons and in the Champagne actions, or with the machine gunners at the two former actions, have been prepared in Washington. The distribution to men still in the Marines has already begun. To reach the men who are no longer with the colors the cards for men in this vicinity will be sent direct to the Recruiting Offices.
 The object of the fourrageres, or the telephone cords or "cigar lighters as the A. E. F. knew them, to quote the French Army regula- tions, is "to recall in a certain way the glorious feats of certain regi- ments or units that have been cited in Army Orders. In the case of those Marines who fell in action the award will be made to their nearest of kin direct by Major General John A. Le- jeune, who not only was in command of the Second Divisoon at St. Mihiel. the Champagne, and the Argonne, but is now the Major General Command ant of the Marine Corps.

REVENUE AGENTS
 HERE FIND NEW SCHEME OF H00CH

A new sch eme of the rum-runners and the "hooch' distributors has just been unearthed by the revenue men in and around Bridgeport. A rough ness was noted on the bottom of bottles of whiskey which were still bearing the unbroken revenue stamps over the cork which were on the bot ties when they were taken from some bonded warehouse. Examina- ton showed that the contents were not the high grade whiskey which the bottles contained when they were taken from the warehouse but a harsh terrible synthetic mixture. Further investigation brought to light the fact that in order to conserve the good whiskey originally in the bottles and refill them with imitation with out disturbing the seals the follow ing method is used. The bottles are placed bottom up and by the use of an electric needle and a suction ap- large around as a half dollar is re- moved.
 The contents of the bottle are then exchanged for inferior stuff; the round piece of glass laid back and the cut filled with enough hot glass to make the bottom solid again. This poor imitation is then sold for the price of the genuine to those who have permits and the genuine is kept for other purposes, one of them being to mix with other ingredients to pro- duce the imitation stuff
 A typical mixture would be made up about like this:
 One quart whiskey (reaD $12.00 One gallon alcohol 1900 Prune juice 50 Raisin juice 50 Bead oil 50
 $25.51 Water to make IS gallons
 This mixture is disposed of for about $40 a gallon or $500 for the whole quantity or over twenty times the first cost.

Conven tionality has played no part in Mitzi's youth. She is the whole some product of broken nursery laws and 1ndulgent parents who gratified her every desire and wanted her to be just her own self, She chose te be playful. happy and to make life one great comedy with just enough seriousness to make her sympathetic.

 EMPIRE.
 ''Hairpins,'' in which pretty Enid Bennett will be seen at the Empire Theatre today. was the last story written by c. Gardner Sullivan be- fore leaving for a trip around the world in search of new screen ma terial. Indeed, MT. Sullivan. who is probably the best known original writer for the screen in this coun- try, postponed his long journey for several days in order to witness a pre-view of the picture and suggest changes in the sub-titles. Thomas H. Ince produced "Hairpins'' and it is a Paramount Aircraft.
 PLAZA.
 William F'arnum, by far the most popular star on the screen today, is coming to the Plaza theatre, Sunday night to begin a four day engage ment in his latest feature success, '1he Joyous Troublemakers,' from the story by Gregory Jackson. The attractive title promises more than a glimpse of the F7arnum smile. The story is just as promising. It tells the story of a, youth who finds gold where Nature has hidden it for ages. A pretty romance runs through the entire play with Louise Lovely play ing the role opposite William Far mum.
