1 she overheard, that she dressed like Rob erts aunt.
 Beth, in "no-neck, no-sleeve transpar- ent gowns" looks even better than Sal lie, and then there was that old love that had never died, so Robert runs away from temptation. So does Beth run away
 from the sight of Robert. They meet on
 the train, and Robert is hurt as they | leave the station. Beth takes him to her house, and Sallie comes to claim her hus-
 band. Clothes are torn, and hair is split, but Robert sleeps on unconscious of the row that is going over him. When he comes to, he decides that he likes
 Beth the best. and Sallie gently removes all loose change from his clothes and
 reminds him that alimony will be called for, and departs to look soulfully into the eyes of the Russian musician and
 murmur in his ears, 'I just adore curly hair"
 Beth and Robert remarried, start life all over again, with a new and better understanding. And to the very last | notch clothes play their part Beth brezes in, attired in the negligee that she once said was only fit for the harem of Turk.

THE FALSE ROAD AT COLONIAL TODAY Enid Bennett Has Splendid Role in New Production. Here Through Ss..-
 urday

There are two roads which every hu- man may follow. One leads to happiness and love fulfilled. the other ends in blackness. and each human must choose his own way. However, the first choice is not irrevocable, and one may decide the true before it is too late, even though the pleasant way of the wrong road has beckoned for while.
 This is the thought behind "The False Road" the new Paramount-Artcraft pro- duction which is the feature at the Colo nial Theater today and the remainder of this week, with Enid Bennett as the star. It is a production tense in dramatic situa- tions with the thrills that come with any crook play which is we'll handled. 'The False Road" is up to the standard of Paramount-Artcraft productions, which means photoplay properly directed
 Miss Bennett has role which makes the same call on her artistry and provides the same fine vehicle for her talent as that in "The Woman in the Suitcase" though it is an entirely different type she portrays and a story along divergent lines.
 She is cast as member of New York gang of crooks. The man she loves, is also member of the gang and her love holds steadfast even after he is captured in burglary and goes to Sna Sing for two, years as the guest of the state.
 Her life goes on unchanged while he is serving his time, but to the man comes new ideal, and he leaves prison. ready to choose new role He goes straight to the woman he loves, expecting her to Follow him, but she laughs at him. So he goes his way, and she follows hers, until time comes when the man is enabled in thrilling situation, to rescue the girl and brings her to his way of thinking.
 Lloyd Hughes and other well-known players appear in Miss Bennett's support The False Road" will be shown through Saturday only.

nose glasses, and her mind, instead of being trained in the art of making her husband happy, is being cultured be- yond his understanding.
 On the other hand, there is Sallie Clark, played by Bebe Daniels. the model in a dressmaking establishment. Sallie doesn t know what the word highbrow means. but she knows how to get by with dresses that angels would fear to wear. Sallie in such garments is awfully easy on the eyes. and her line of chatter is so shallow that the most simple can understand and be entertained. SaIle uses heady per- fume, which Beth regards as cheap.
 Clothes win the man, is the moral of the story. Robert Gordon finds his trunks and his dog nicely tied up and ready to move, and although he still loves his wife, and she loves him, they are divorced.
 Sallie catches his heart on the rebound and marries him. She makes him take her to large hotel where she can show off all the wonderful clothes that played such part in winning his love. And who should be there, in fashionable dis array, but Beth, attired as immodestly as the law allow to disprove a saying that

OUR BuRDENsoME TAX LAW.

The candidate for congress this year
who will promise his constituents to
use his best endeavor to reform the
federal tax laws should receive the
support of the voters. If all candi-
dates make this pledge, so much better
for the people.
Five thousand carefully selected
men are now handling tax problems in
the internal revenue bureau in Wash
ington. Twelve thousand men are in
the field making examinations. The
1917 tax returns. it is said, are but
partially aud-.ed. Twenty millions Is
being spent annually in wages alone
for these experts, and yet no effort
has been made, and probably none will
be, to audit the personal returns rep
resenting the incomes from $1,000
downward. To pay any attention to
the smaller returns would make neces-
sary an additional 5000 expert audi
tors, and the money which might be

machinery.

gress devoted so much time to inves-

the conduct of the war, but also pre-
vailing economic conditions. The feel

country that there was less investiga-
ton for the purpose of enacting legis-
lation favorable to the recovery of
business and the promotion of healthy
prosperity. than for the purpose of
conducting presidential campaign ac-
cording to the we'll established meth

business and financial interests will
regard as indicative of good intentions.
