"LASCA"

! The first local showing of "Lasca,"
a recent Universal production directed
by Norman Dawn and played byb a
notable. cast, featuring Frank Mayo
and Edith Roberts, is announced for
the Auditorium Theatre today.
'Lsca' is based on the famous
poem by Frank Desprez, adapted for
the screen by Percy Heath, and pro-
duced by Universal on lavish scale.
The filming of "Lasca" required
more than ordinary attention to de-
tails, for there is scarcely an Amer

Rio Grande," who worshipped the
young ranchman at whose side she

lovely saint and petulant imp, finally
sacrificed her young life to save that

The scenes of "Lasca" are laid on

well as that of the Texans and gives
a picturesque view of the wealthy
frontiersman's existence during the
most colorful period in the history OF
the Lone Star State.
Around the story suggested by the
poem the author has woven plot of
the most engrossing interest-of love,
jealousy and observation-disclosures

"These possible sources Of income

the suggested list of additional con-
sumption taxes have not been selected
because their use is particularly
harmful Or in any sense less legiti-

practical standards. What should be

which tap the surplus income which is

A Big Problem. $
The repeal Of the tax on soda foun-
tain and other beverages is asked, the
secretary says, because the collection
of the tax. the aggregate of which is
small, has presented an administrative
problem of magnitude. Added to that,
MIR. Houston says, there has been
constant and widespread evasion of
such taxes.
The excess profits tax, Mr.. Houston
declares, has not fulfilled the theorcti-
cal grounds upon which it was enact
ed and has been found to be wrong
both in theory and in political
philosophy. He says it Disseminated

corporation while aiding materially
the firms whose capitalization is ex-

secretary continues. should not be al

jected to taxes on their incomes rang
ing as high as 70 per cent. "
Mr.. Houston again urges the neccs-
sity for rigid economy, in government
expenditure, asserting that only by
conserving the finances carefully can
the expenditures be kept within the
$4,000, 900, 900 annually which he sug-
gests should be the basis for a revenue

MEN TO WORK FOR
BONUS ADJUSTMENT

Service men here assert that an eff
fort is to be made at the next session
of the North Dakota legislature to
have provision made whereby all who
AVE not yet received their bonuses
may receive some negotiable instru-
ment on which they can realize. some
thing when they are in need of money.
Those who have not yet been paid
have received nothing to show that
they have money due them, except a
postcard from the adjutant's office. 1t
is difficult. they say, to raise any
money on their claims, asserting that
while some banks advanced loans on
these claims earlier in the season, the
present money situation is said t have
caused them to discontinue this en-.

FORKS FIRST USED IN 1874
Occasion Was Dinner Given by Henry
III of France--Account Given by
Royal Guest.

IT Is hard to believe the sensation
produced when forks first came into
use. 1t was in 1874. at n dinner given
by Henry III of France. Here Is
an account by royal lady guest, the
Ladies' Home Journal recalls: "The
guests never touched the meat with
their fingers, but with forks, which
they carried to their mouths, bending
their necks and bodies over their
plates.
"There were several salads. These
they ate with forks, for 1t is not con-
sidered proper to touch the food with
the fingers. However difficult it may
be to manage 1t, 1t is thought better
to put the little instrument In the
mouth than the fingers.
"Then artichokes, asparagus, peas
and beans were brought 1t was
pleasure to watch them try to eat
these with their forks, for some, who
were less adroit than the others,
dropped as many on their plates and
on the way to the mouth as they were
able to get to their mouths. :.
"Afterward a great silver basin and
q pitcher of water were brought and
the guests washed their hands, though
II seems as II there would not be much
scent of meat and grease on them, for
they had touched their food only with
those forked Instruments" e

Too Much Candor.

My travelling companion had been
carrying an old black bag which bare
ly held together. I had told her that
she would have to carry a different
piece Of baggage II she were going to
travel with me. but It made no impress
sion.
One early morning we sat down in a
small waiting room In a branch line
station in central Oregon. Next to
me was an old black bag with which
] began to tumble. Finally I put my
finger through rip in the side and
began to pull out some wearing ap-
parel and at the same time turned to
my friend and said: pauline, you
certainly ought to be ashamed Of
yourself TO carry such n ramshackle

BEING FAT IS REAL TRAGEDY
To Modern Woman 1t Is Worry That
Frequently Leads to Ruined
Health and Insanity.

A fat man Is usually jolly sort Of
an Individual who accepts the world
as the same sort of a joke as the
world considers him. Girth, says the
New York Sun. may worry a man 0c-
casionally because II Is an annoyance,
but with the modern woman Ii verges
upon tragedy AS physicians-if they
would talk freely-can tell you, 1t is
worry to them that frequently leads
to ruined health. insanity or the
grave.
II Is possible for a man to grow
fat gracefully. At least he can sub
due his habits stop running for
trains, give up shis golf and spend
most of his time in ponderous poses.
His tailor can easily arrange his
clothing into well-known and accept
ed lines
The case of the woman Is different
Fashion binds her as with chain.
There are no stylish frocks for stout
women. The fashion Of today calls
for slim figures and trim ankles
Waists and hips are taboo. There are
no sleeves capable Of concealing over
feshed arms. Man can adapt his
clothes to his figure, but woman must
adapt he" figure TO the clothes, or else
shameIessly admit that she cannot
wear what is fashionable.
II was not al VS. so. In another
generation the stat woman had well
defined place--the "dOWager type" II
was sometimes called. The woman
who made the best biscuits and
cooked the most savOry chicken was
always rotund sort Of person who
never minded it when people came
Unexpectedly around dinner time. She
was the one children fiOcked to for
sympathy and the one who seemed
TO make the world brighter wherever
she went.
