GOVERNMENT. AFTER BLIND MAN

The Bureau of War Risk Insurance is
very anxious to receive news regarding a
blind ex-service man discharged in 1918
who has been reported as wandering
around various places in New England
ever since. He is entitled to compensa-
ton for his disability, and to insurance
premium payments as long as he lives.
His present whereabouts is unknown and
the Bureau is using every effort to ascer-
tain how it may get in touch with him.
1t is desired to locate him in order that
his name and organization may be ascer-
tanned, and if possible, to get hold of him
physically so that the Bureau can detain
him in one place long enough to get from
him an application for compensation,
which is due him, and also to get his Gov
eminent insurance payments.
Under the War Risk Insurance act he
is entitled to 500 per month compensa-
ton and $3.50 per month insurance so
long as he lives, provided, of course, that
he carried $4,000 of insurance. If it is
found that he carried no insurance while
in the military service, which is improb-
able, he will still be entitled to 500 per
month compensation.
/. Any information regarding the where
abouts of this man should be sent to Mr.
Harry Burlineame, Special Agent, Bureau
of War Risk Insurance, 1OI Milk Street,
Boston, Mass.

When Gov. Henry Allen of Kansas

Joint debate, Gov Allen asked Mr.. Com

dispute between labor and capital brings

distribution of the necessaries of life,
thus threatening the public peace and
impairing the public health, has the pub
lie any rights in such controversy, or is
it private war between labor and CAPT.

affirmative, Mr.. Gompers, how would
you protect the rights of the public2'

Mr.. Edward A. Brand was summoned
before the Senate Investigating commit
tee few days ago. Mr.. Brand is Secre-
tary of the Tanners Council of the Unit
ed States, and, therefore, is in a position
to know about the cost and value of
leather. He said the price of leather is
much lower because the foreign demand
had fallen off, and domestic purchases
have declined because retailers of foot
wear are buying "hand to mouth" which
of course makes the manufactures of
shoes wary of buying leather. He told
the committee that the prices of foot
wear would be considerably lower next
winter. This is all somewhat encourage
ing, but we fear that hides will be stored,
and leather held back from sale, till
prices much higher than just at present,
are quoted. Mr.. Brand evidently had no
brief for the Big Five meat packers. He
said they controlled 80 per cent of the
ia nneries and he believed they had held
back their output to force up prices.
These people have firm grip on their
businesses The Administration of JUS

THE COAL IS OURS

Many of our manufacturing industries
have been curtailing operations and dis
charging workmen because of shortag &c
of coal. Householders in New England
and in many other parts of this country
are paying from fifteen to seventeen dol
lars ton, while those who have yet to
earn the money with which to pay for
their winter supply. are fearing that later
on it cannot be obtained at any price.
Propa ganda tells us there is not sufficient
coal mined to supply what is needed.
This is not true. The facts show that
immense quantities of coal are sent to
Europe every month, and if this had been
kept at home there would have been no
difficulty in getting all the coal we really
there are not enough cars to handle the
freight of this country. That may be
true, but there were more than $4,000
coal cars carrying coal to Hampton
Roads, Va, in March and April of this
year, and more than three-tifths of that
coal went to foreign ports and less than
two-f ifths of it went to our own people.
The American people have put immense
sums of money into railroads during the
last hundred years. They were built for
America first, Lot for the benefit of Eu-
rope, nor for few thousand spectators.
Our coal mines, too, are American coal
mines. The men who are operating them
are, most of them, American citizens, and
we have no hesitancy in saying they are
making huge profits The miners, whether
American or alien, are paid with Ameri-
can dollars. The American public and
American business are paying hitherto
unheard of prices for coal and the needed
quantity cannot be obtained. In the face
of these facts, 2,2OO, 900 tons of coal were
shipped out of the country from the
above mentioned single port, in two
months. How much was shipped from
other ports we do not know.
A very large percentage of this coal
went to England or France. These foreign
governments said they were unable to pay
some $500, 1000, 600 interest money which is
overdue to the treasury of the United
States and we have agreed to allow them
to defer payment for a somewhat indeti-
mite time. Thus, in an indirect way, we
are Ioanlng them money with which to
buy coal and foods which we need our
selves. England uses much of the coal
which is bought here, to generate power
for her factories, the goods from which
are to be sold in America. This is no
fiction English goods are in our mar
kers now, and are accommodating in stor-
age warehouses in considerable quantities.
1t may give great satisfaction to some of
US 10 see Uncle Sam posing as Sir Boun-
tiful to all the world, but the sterling
common sense of the country is begin
ming to express itself explicitly and en-
phatically as being for America first

New York is made glitteringIy attrac
tive even in the scenes portraying it's
wickedness in "On With the Dance the
picture Monday and Tuesday. Seldom
has more colorful photoplay been offer
ed screen lovers. In the brilliant scenes
in Broadway cabarets, the luxurious apart
ments of the rich, and the myriad-lighte
skyline of the great city, a dazzling spec
tacle has been filmed.
The story brings to the front the excel
lent talents of Mae Murray the eistwhile
dancer of the FoJlies and now a screen
player of more than ordinary charm and
ability, and the suave and affable David
Powell. The plot concerns Russian i'm
migrant girl, selfish and pleasure-lo loving,
who, suddenly injected into the atmos-
phere of New York "high life," at first
yields to the temptations of easy money
that are offered her on every hand, but
later in big crisis redeems herself.
"On With the Dance" is described as
the first personally produced picture bear
ing the name of George Fitzmaurice. 1t
is meritorious effort. The scenario,
adapted from Michael Morton's stage
play, was written by Ouida Bergere. 1t
is Paramount Aircraft picture.

Corinne Griffith and Art Accord, Friday,
A newspaper office and the life of re-
porter holds much romance for the aver
age person. There is a certain mystery
about compiling daily paper and deliv-
ering it to the public with all the news at
stated time 365 DAYS year. Reporters
witness all kinds of queer events, fire.
quently solve murder mysteries and do
all sorts of thrilling things. "Deadline
at Eleven" was written by a newspaper
woman and adapted to the screen by a
newspaper man. They have put real
newspaper atmosphere into a dramatic
story which gives the average person a
glimpse behind the scenes of a reporter s
life. Corinne Griffith has role that calls
for real dramatic ability. She fortified
herself for it by getting experience on a
New York daily. The intensely dramatic
is heightened by touches of humor here
and there, and thread of love interest
cleverly developed completes a picture
that will instruct and entertain all who
witness it.
Also on Friday starts "The Moon Rid
ers," the serial that keeps you gasping
for breath 1t features the king of COW
punchers, Art Accord. You'll be sorry il
you miss a single episode of the exciting
battles of Cowboy Buck Ravelle against
the clan of Devil Men. They will keep
you gaspng and gulping with thrills and
amaZement.

Elsie Ferguson Thursday.
Imagine Elsie Ferguson, perhaps the
most beautiful woman in the world-as a
secret service agent-on the trail of coun-
terfeiters.
Imagine her passing herself off as a
society woman in the luxury of Newport,
Americas most fashionable resort.
And imagine David Powell, the featured
player in "The Teeth of the Tiger" as
leading man.
Does it sound like good picture2
Think of the gowns Miss Ferguson will
wear-the gorgeous settings, the big eli
makes, the wonderful love scenes
"Counterfeit" is the title, and the story
is by Ouida Bergere, based on story by
Robert Baker. George Fitzmaurice pro-
duced it.
1t is Just the role for Miss Ferguson
it gives her opportunity for emotional
acting and the wearing of beautiful
clothes, and lots of them. And excite
ment-wait till you see it on Thursday.
