Extravagance Must Cease.
This saturnalia of extravaganza that

The Theatres
WASHINGTON

Your ideas of neckwear would be
popular on the gallows."
Thus spoke Pop Audry to his Jap
valet in humorous scene in pinto,
the new Goldwyn Picture starring
Mabel Normand which is showing the
last times today at the Washington
Theatre.
Pop Audry was a big, powerful man
who had spent most of his years as
a ranchman in Arizona. He was a
good-natured, jovial person until he
had the misfortune to choose a wife.
The climax was reached when his
wife mistreated his ranch-girl ward,
Pinto, and then f1agrantly showed her
affection for another man, human
blank draped with fashions latest
Pop picked up bag and baggage, and
returned to Arizona with Pinto, happy
in the thought that no more would

Of convention, particularly that law
which used to prompt his Jap valet
to choke him into correct neckwear
every evening.

the fare increase.
Communication Proposal.
The T. H., I. & E. proposes that
Communication fares be on a basis OF
five-eights of the regular passenger

trips.
AS a result of increased costs the 7.

The proposed increase in fare would

ton was go endorse the administra-
ton but yet Mr.. Bailey must realize
that he went down with the ship.
He had injected his personality in
