Fighting Cressy," in which Jesse y.
Hampton and Pathe present Blanche
Sweet at the Crescent theatre for.
one moro day is adapted from Bret
Harte's story Greasy" which tells u
charming romance in the days when
California was new and rugged n
u~ndeveloped.
The plot of Fighting Cressy"N has
to do with n feud carried on by two
Did settlers over the boundary line or
their property. Romance enters to
scatter sunshine when Cressy, the
daughter of one of the pioneers, loses
her heart TO a member of a rival
camp. Before the climax is reached
YOU are greeted with picturesque
scenes il which Greasy, spirited. Wv
acious and utterly charming, is the
dominant figure. You catch the CLAM
our of those early days in the Colder
West. There are the scenes, charged
as they are with uaint humor and
atmosphere, pathos and poetry, that
embrace you and lift you from your
| environment.
In the title ole Blanche Sweet gives
an gXquisite performance-one which
is ed with charm and feeling. She
| can humanize a Bret Harte heroine
better than m other actress on the
screen. Her absence from the cam
era until recently has brought depth
to her interpretative ability. She
makes Greasy an unforgetable figure.

FEARS A COMING OIL FAMINE
Exhause Fields in This coUn-
try in Twenty Years.

Washington = With gasoline and
fuel oil consumption outstripping pro
duction and the underground reserve
liable to exhaustion within twenty
years, the nation is facing a liquid
fuel crisis calling for drastic action.
according to Dr.. Van II. Manning, di-
rector of the bureau OF mines.
1.-THE time has arrived when, with
crude oil higher than it has been fol
fifty years, inefficiency in the produc-
ton and manufacture Of petroleum
should not be countenaneed," Doctor
Manning said. Petroleum and its pro
ducts should be reserved for those
uses for which it is peculiarly adapt
ed and for which there are no substf
tutes.
'aThe United States geological sur
vey has estimated that 40 per cent OF
the oil in all the oil fields has been
brought to the surface and used, and
it is estimated that the underground
reserve is equal to less than twenty
years of the present consumption de-
mands"

STRIKES COSTLY TO LABOR
Direct Loss in 1919 Was Nearly $780,

Also Lost Heavily

New York.-An incomplete list OF
direct losses due to strikes in 1919
places the cost to labor in wages at
nearly z billion dollars, Francis H.
Sisson, vice-president OF the Guaranty
Trust Company Of New York, told the
silver jubilee convention of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
here The chief danger in the present
situation, Mr.. Sisson said, is that the
desirability Of low prices as an end
In itself may be so exaggerated as to
lead to the attempt to force prices
down through harmful measures for
the control of credit.
The banker spoke at length on in
dustrial unrest, analyzing its effect on
the country's economic condition and
blaming strike fevers for high living
costs and increased rents He urged
the conservation Of natural resources
as a means of maintaining our eco
nomic position in the world.

FIXES BLAME FOR HIGH SUGAR
Hoover Says Government Should Have
Bought Cuban Produet-Ration-
ing the Only Hope Now.

Washington.-Herbert Hoover rec
commended limitation Of the amount
OF sugar used in luxury trades, and
an international agreement to control
competition in purchasing sugar.
Those measures, he said, should re-
duce consumption, destroy specula-
ton and lower the price. Hoover tes-
titled before a subcommittee of the
house investigating Attorney General
Palmer's action in fixing as fair price
II cents pound for Louisiana sugar.
Hoover said there is a world short
age of sugar, which he predicted will
last for two or three years. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the govern
ment should take an interest in pro-
tecting the consumer in acquiring such
necessary commodities as sugar, be-
cause the individual is at a disadvan-
tage when compared to large users.
Had I been handling the sugar sit
uation I should have asked congress
last July to have the sugar equaliza-
ton board buy the Cuban crop and to
continue the boards power of distribu-
tion," said Hoover. eff that had been
done we would have had sugar at 1919
cents a pound instead of 25 or q
cents. In November, when the Louis
lana price was fixed, the same thing
might have been done.
Now, the merchants of Europe and
our own buyers are competing for the
Cuban crop, producing high prices.
Sugar sells in Cuba at present for 10
of 20 cents a pound"
Hoover urged collaboration Of the
European, Cuban and American gov
ernments to suppress enormous prices
by eliminating competitive bidding.
During the war we had an interna-
tional agreement for dividing sugar
among the principal nations, and some
thing OF that sort should be carried
out now. Cuban producers do not IA
yor the present price level, although
they are profiting enormously from it.
1t stimulates production, introduces
speculation in their industry, and may
cause them labor trouble
"Rationing of the luxury trade
could be done within the Lever Act %
said Hoover. But some guarantee
of continuation of the powers of the
equalization board would be needed il
it were undertaken.

CIVILIZATION IS THREATENED
Henry p. Dawson Says Central Europe
Is Now Near CoIIapse-Makes
Four recommendations.

Des Moines, Ia.-StarFation and dis
ease have so undermined middle and
Eastern Europe that a complete eco
nomic political, moral and physical
collapse is imminent, with its attend
attendant menace to the rest of civ
nization, according to Henry P. DaEi-
son, chairman of the board of direc-
tors Of the League of Red Cross So
cieties.
Dawson made this assertion in an
address before the general conference
OF the Methodist Episcopal Church.
He made the following recommends
tions:
l. That Congress Immediately ap-
propriate 500 million dollars for use
in Central and Eastern Europe.
2. That the President appoint a
non-political commission of three and
invest it with complete power to SUI
pervise distribution of food and raw
materials in the stricken areas.
8. That these supplies should be
sold on liberal financial terms
f. That Immediately after adoption
of the plan this government should in
vite other governments in a position
to do so to participate in the under
taking
