QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Extraordinary Exception.
l swallow nearly everything you
say. 1t. is easier and pleasanter
! than taking pills. But l cannot
agree with the teaching that hair
should not be wet with water. l am
62 and proud of my hair. Every
night it is brushed, braided in sew
eral braids and wet thoroughly win
water. 1 sleep with my head toward
the window, which is always open,
and the air circulates freely around
me, yet 1 never get coryza or
sneezes or other Uranium troubles.
Why? Miss A. l. A.
Answer-In advising against the
frequent wetting of the hair in
combing or brushing it, l had in
mind only the fact that water re-
moves the natural oil of the hair
OF course, it is immaterial so far
as catching coryza or other respir-
atory disease may be concerned, for
such diseases are caught from per-
sons who have them or carry the
germs, not from the air or a draft,
as your question implies.
The Medicine.
Kindly print that corn cure you
recommended. CA. c.
Answer-Dissolve thirty grains of
salicylic acid in half an ounce of
flexible collodion Tor better, let the
druggist do it, and paint the corn
or callus with this once daily for
a week or ten days.

SANCTUARY

Carefully modulated though our
voices were, Vernon's possessed a
peculiar carrying power; and SO
was not really surprised when the
woman we were discussing stood
! before us.
| Il heard" She spoke with that
directness SO characteristic of her
and l wish l hadn't"
A peculiar iron-like stiffness
tensed the muscles of her hus-
bands face. The woman looked di-
rectly into his narrowed eyes
What is your grudge against me,
Warner? Be man enough to name
it here and now!"
| Perhaps l can't" His eyes
blazed. ''Dr. Armstrong is the third
to pronounce you safe and sane. AS
usual your physical charms.
Had nothing whatever to do with
my judgment"
l could bear his sneering insults
to her no longer. Your wife is not
| only sane, but harmless as a but
terfly-'
Exactly" He barked out the
word, and now his face was proof
of his longing to thrash or throttle
me-"And, like the butterfly, Mrs.
Vernon has fitting habits. She is
here, and she is gone, and not even
her husband may know"
80, that!" she interrupted. And,
so, l am to be judged insane because
l do not choose to tell"
Can you? Do you know where
you hide?"
"Hide?" she echoed the word, and
1 did not miss the note of terror in
her voice But, you drive me over
the edge o frenzy"
Suddenly, the rush of tremulous
hysterical words stopped. Mrs.
Vernon was crying.
Her husband turned to me with
an angry gesture-"Always, it's like
this; and if l insist that have every
right to know, she disappears
again"
IF you would only leave me
alone!" And now she turned to me
Il would go mad, truly, if 1 had
no place of sanctuary from him"
Sanctuary" Vernon's laugh was
without mirth-"'Probably, it's the
age-old sanctuary-a lovers arms
into which you fly-When I find
you I'll have a merry time killing
him after l settle with you!"
1t was out at last! My suspicious
that here was the real patient was
being confirmed by the vicious,
snarling oaths that foamed from
Vernon's livid lips. He had lost all
control and his jealousy was ex-
posed in all its rotten nakejness. 1
could not let the storm go on, and
in ways that are part of my stock
in trade, / quieted him Then, hav-
ing administered heavy bromide,
left him to sleep it off, and turned
to his unfortunate wife.
Il think it would be as well to tell
him This thing that you conceal,
Heaven knows where it will end,
and"
Her shuddering stopped me.
My secret is quite innocent; but,
he must never know. You have
seen. His jealousy would destroy
anything that did not spring from
or include him,"
But, think &. Your safety. ="
She would not let me say more.
but led me to the place she called
her sanctuary-saying that she
wanted me to see ito know.

TO ARRANGE BAIL
Attorneys Offer Cash But
Court Cannot
Act.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. Is
Roscoe Arbuckle is still in his cell
on "Felons' Row"
The fat comedian, against whom
charges of first-degree murder and
manslaughter are lodged in connec-
ton with the death of Virginia
Rappe. hoped today to gain free
dom, but delay by District Attorney
Brady in deciding whether the
murder charge or the indictment
for manslaughter will be pressed
found Fatty's automobile waiting
outside the Jail while he remained
behind bars.
VIII Know To-day.
"I will know definitely by to-
morrow which charge I will press" +"
said Brady. I'VE are perfecting
our case and will not decide finally
until we have all the evidence"
The grand jury Indictment
charging manslaughter was for
mally returned before Superior
Judge E p. Shortall. Bail was set
at $4,000 in bonds. or $1,000 in
cash. and the case assigned to the
court OF Judge Louderback. At
torneys for Arbuckle deposited
$4,000 cash late in the day. but
acceptance could not be given by
the court.
The actors sole consolation dur
ing the day was in reading more
than 200 kilograms from friends
expressing confidence in his in
nocence. At the same time Brady
received as many messages con-
graduating him on the prosecu-
ton of the charges.
Hears of Orgies.
Brady declared he was interested
in the reports of alleged orgies
in the Hollywood motion picture
colony, a history of which J. H.
Pelletier, chairman of the Los An
geles Morals Commission, is pre-
pairing for him. Many picture
stars, both men and women, may be
called to testify at Arbuckle's trial
regarding his bohemian entertain
ments in Los Angeles.

PREMIER DROPS
PEACE MEETING
WITH SINN FEIN
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

our duty to reaffirm that our posi-
tion is and can only be as we have
defined 1t throughout this cor
respondence. Our nation has for
mally declared its independence
and recognizes Itself as a sovereign
state. 1t Is only as representatives
Of that state and as its chosen
guardians that we have authority
or power to act on behalf Of our
people.
"As regards the principle of gov
ernment by consent Of the gov
must be the basis of amy agree
We have at heart-the final recon-
ciliation of our nation with yours.
Quotes Lloyd George.
I'VE have suggested no interpre-
tation of that principle save in its
everyday Interpretation, the sense,
for example. in which 1t was un-
derstood by the plain men and
women OF the world when on Janu-
ary 5. 1918. you said:
The settlement of Europe must
be based on such grounds of reason
and justice as will guarantee some
promise of stability. Therefore It
is that we feel that government
with the consent of the governed
must be the basis of any territorial
settlement in this war
These words are the true an
swer to the criticism OF our posi-
ton which your last letter puts
forward. The principle was under
stood then to mean the right of
nations that had been annexed to
empires against their will. to free
themselves from the, graphing
hook.
That is the sense in which we
understood it. In reality it is your
government, when it seeks to rend
our ancient nation and to partition
into territory, that would give to
the principle an Interpretation that
would undermine the fabric of
every domestic state and drive the
civilized world back into tribalism. T"

BY EARLE DORSEY.


The wide disparity between the
American idea OF French farce and
French farce as 1t really exists, Is
strikingly illustrated in William
Harris new production of BLUE
boards Eighth Wife" which Har-
ris has selected for Miss Ina Claire.
the erstwhile Belasco star. who has
lately come ur der his management.
"Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" a
frankly Intelligent adaptation by
Charlton Andrews of the original
French work by Alfred Savoir. de-
lightfully banishes the door-slam-
ming and bed-leaping that has be-
come so integral a part of the
American notion of farce. Fur
thermore. it presents golden
argument for the affirmative that
farce to be farce. need not totally
dismiss all theme and become a
mere -podge of inane dia-
logue.
Here is a play that advances In
workmanlike manner, a story of
interesting fabric. Its theme is a
repetition of the old theater battle
between the cave man and the
clever woman. but 1t has been done
here in a fashion that opens up
q field of subtle dialogue and fur
'nishes, at the same time, a sub
stantial and authentic background
for several bits OF rather daring
discussion of matrimonial rela-
tions.
To Edmund Breese has been en-
trusted the role of an American
captain of industry, who buys his
wives, takes what they have to Of
fer and casts them aside to the
number of seven. The eighth is the
impoverished daughter of a Gallic
nobIeman who. finding herself in
love with the fellow. undertakes S
his reformation by frankly marry
ing him for a settlement and then
forcing him to seek divorce. Hav-
ing auelled his supreme egoism and
forced him to admit defeat, she re-
marries him purely for love.
Miss Claire. of course. finds her
role in the part of the girl. Com
parisons of her work in her new
environment with that of her ap-
pearances under Belasco are natu-
rally in order and, while it may
be said that the production as a
whole and Miss Claire's work in
particular show a lack of the pol
ish and finish that Belasco impart-
ed to her plays and her roles. IT
is also true that the comparison
may be a trife exacting and not
altogether fair. For Miss Claire
on the whole. assumes her new role
with a dainty force and rapier-like
gusto that are sufficiently sugges-
tive Of her part in THE Gold Dig
gers" to make the comparison pos
sible. Which is not poor praise,
after all.
Breese, in the role OF the hus-
band, seems to approximate the
note OF force and irascibility that
his part calls for, though there are
ragged edges TO the characteriza-
tion that might easily be laid to
the direction, that fruitful source
OF 80 much poor Characterization.
1t Is fault, however, that should
be corrected with time Barry
Baxter, in the role of outraged in
nocence demanded of the girls bo-
gus lover with which she forces
her divorce. brings an interesting
and at times a fascinating charac-
terization to his part of the pro-
ceedfngs. The rest of the cast is
Of minor Importance.
