PRETTY SMOOTH

In performances given OF THE
C~hatterbox,9 a new crook play
just released by the Universal, has
proved beyond all speculation that
Priscilla Dean has come into her
own in her portrayal of underworld
characters. This carries no reflec-
ton whatever on this clever star,
but on the contrary is a tribute 10
her attainment of realism. She has
studied the psychology of the mod
ern light fingered gentry and the
motives OF the yeggman and the
safe cracker. She has been taught
by some of the greatest criminol-
ogisis of the country. Perhaps, for
this reason, she knows crooks bet
ter than they know themselves.
Pretty Smooth" is a play OF
crime and that was written
especially for Miss Dean by Bayard

A Service for the
Welt roomed Woman

Nothing of late has sounded more pleas
antly in the ears of women than the
message the boys have been bringing back
with them from across the seas.
I'm dress and personal charm" they
have said with one accord, mo women
can match our own"
You owe it to the nation to preserve
that charm, but need we tell you that la
borious work over the washtub is a detri-
ment to the woman who would continue
to be we'll groomed.
Our laundry service should attract you,
therefore, for two most important reasons:
We can give to your w apparel all
the delightful cleanliness and smart finish
that is implied by the words "well-groom-
ed"
And we can help you add to your own
personal charm by removing from your
home the heavy labor of the family wash
ing.
Try our efficient, simple way-call us
up and have us send our driver for your
family washing.

THB rain lasted for twenty
four hours and much OF the
time 1t fell in torrents, so
that when it ceased, the trail
he had been following was entirely
obllterated. Cold and uncomfortable
1T was a savage Tarzan who
threaded the mazes OF the soggy
Jungle. Manu-, the monkey, shivering
and chatterlng in the dank trees
scolded and fed at his approach
Even the panthers and the lions let
the growing Tarmangani pass un-
molested.
When the sun shone again upon
the second day and a wide, open pla in
let the full heat of Kudu flood the
chilled, brown body, Tarzan's spirits
rose; but II was stu a sullen, surly
brute that moved steadily onward
into the south where he hoped again
TO pick up the trail OF the Germans.
Two days later, from the southern
slopes OF Kilimanjaro, he heard the
boom OF cannon far away to the east.
The afternoon had been dun and
cloudy and now as he was passing
through a narrow gorge few greas
drops of rain began to splatter upon
his naked shoulders. Tarzan shook
his head and growled his disapprovul,
then he cast his eyes about for shelter,
for he had had quite enough Of the

WET AND DRY ISSUE AFFECTS

The wet and dry Issue will also
enter into st. Paul's decision. This

johnson would have been an ideal
Republican candidate for Minnesota.
He was damp enough and radical
enough and anti-Wilson enough and
anti-League OF Nations enough to
catch most everybody. This state
uta 81 Co oil
toward the League OF Nations. Res
ervations were OF course advocated
by Republican newspapers, few Of
whom saw any terrible menace in the
idea Of a league. But Hiram John
son came up here and started things
In the opposite direction.
Business men and conservative
Democrats and Republicans see great
opportunities in the electios Of Hard
ing. Radicals, and they are numerous
here, see only confirmation of the
methods of the "capitalistic" regime
which they palaver about so often
hereabouts. They call the Republican
Old Guard who chose Harding the
real minority trying to rule the ma
jority.
Conservative Democrats and Re-
publicans fully expect a Harding vic
tory throughout the country. The
reaction against the Wilson Admins
tration Is even greater than 1t was n
year ago. The request for a mandate
over Armenia, judged by the public
sentiment here at least, was an i'll
advised move. 1t was looked upon as
proof of the argument that the League
of Nations meant the sending Of
American troops abroad.
The Democratic Presidential nom
ineJ will have to give convincing evil
dence OF an intention to steer clear
OF internationalisn to hold the Demo-
cratic vote-and, as said before, hold
ing the Democratic vote Of 1915 might
mean n Democratic victory here IT,
as seems likely, the Republican party
Is split by the vaccinations of the
Non-Partisan League.

ST. RAUL, Mimi June 16 Copy
right 192O.-First impressions are
not always conclusive. but the reac-
tion Of this part Of Minnesota to the
nomination Of Senator Harding is on
the whole rather favorable. And yet
reasons entirely apart from the per-
Bonality OF the Ohio Senator make It
possible even at this early date to
write Minnesota down as a doubtful
State.
For the truth is the Nom Partisan
League has practically taken possess
sion Of the Republican Party in Min
nesota and the leagues candidate
for Governor in next weeks primary
Is regarded even by opponents OF the
league as certain Of nomination.
Now the Partisan League was
very friendly to Hiram johnson, and
this State was for johnson. Mr..
Harding Is not acceptable TO the Nom
Partisan League because Of his con-
servatism, and with the elimination Of
johnson the leagues vote probably
will go toward Senator La Toilette or
whoever happens to be the nominee of
the party soon to be started at Chi
cago by the Committee of Forty
eight.
Indeed, II the Non Partisan League
captured the Republican primaries
In the Gubernatorial race, Democrats
and Republicans alike who are not
in sympathy with the philosophy Of
the Uon-Partisan League will be
urged to use their strength in sup
port of the Democratic candidate.
With Republican State ticket
favored by the Non Partisan League
and a Democratic State ticket sup
ported by all parties the vote on
President may be divided into three
parts. which means that the normally
large Republican vote could easily be
split 80 that no section of 1t would
be as big as the normal Democratic
vote and the Democrats might win
the electoral vote Of Minnesota.
Much will depend upon the out
come Of next weeks primaries, but it
will not be forgotten that this is
Roosevelt territory and johnson was
q prime favorite and that in 1915
Woodrow Wilson fell just S97 votes
short of overturning an overwhelm-
ing Roosevelt majority and taking
the whole State from Hughes.
The conservatives in the State, on
The other hand, are rather glad that |
Johnson was beaten and they are con- |
1dent that Senator Harding need not |
worry about the outcome in Novem-
per-
Many Irish Democrats are grieved |
over Johnson's defeat. They are |
lmong the most bitter critics Of the
Wilson Administration and were all |
prepared to enter the Republican
Party. Just where they now will go :
s hard to say, but 1t is doubtful If /
