"KISMET. CONTINUES
 AT THE ALCAZAR

By special arrangement and due to the fact that many patrons of the AL cazar have been unable to gain admis- sion daily at the showing of "Kismet'
 in which Otis Skinner appears in his greatest success which has been the AL cazar attraction for the week, the man agement announces that "Kismet' will be shown for two days next week, Mon day and Tuesday only.
 Among the many wonderful scenes in this great screen masterpiece is the ha- rem scene, of which noted critic says:
 Nothing approaching the grandeur of this setting has ever been attempted in motion pictures before. Dazzling in it's coloring from the most delicate pinks. azure and blue to the deepest purple rich in design of arched doorways and latticed windows through which may be glimpsed the setting sun, it is as inn pressive as painting by a master hand. The costumes worn by the ladies of the harem might have been woven by fairy hands. so delicate are. they in texture, So silky in their sheen. and so rare in coloring. Costumes that would improve the disposition of any woman. Gorgeously arrayed in one of them and lounging amid Oriental splendor and luxury, milady might easily imagine I herself one of the beautiful and fasci- mating heroines of Arabian Nights.

He stopped the trial one time yesterday and, looking to the rear, said: What do you think those benches were made for?'' The crowd promptly stepped from the benches, but soon had stepped upon them again. Judge Sowell stopped the trial again. Those benches back there were made to sit on and not to stand on, and I am not going to stand for you standing on them" The crowd dropped again.

SENATOR LODGE NOT IN FAvoE
OF LIMITATION UNLESS 1T

Washington. - Replying to Demo
cratic questioning, Senator Lodge
Republican leader, outlined to the
Senate some Of the principles which
will guide him as one of the Ameri.
can representatives in the coming con.
ference Of the world powers.
He favors general limitation of
armament, but he favors no limita.
tion unless it is general.
He regards armament reduction as
primarily necessary to relieve the
worlds economic distress and he
hopes that it will also promote univer.
sal peace.
He considers that the United States
has already cut its army and navy
budgets to the danger line and thinks
it would be grave mistake to make
further curtailment unless there is an
international agreement for reduction
Of armament

LodgeSop OPPOSING passage of the $780,
100000 good roads bill on the ground
of economy, declared that army and

duced. below the level of prudence.
We have cut down with great Sc
verify the the appropriations for the
army and navy, which / regard as alb
solutely necessary expenditures for
any government which means to pro.
tect itself against dangers which m,
come to any nation" said Senator
Lodge. "We have cut the army be.
low point which seems to me safe
We have cut the navy down to such
a point that work on necessary ships,
such as battle cruisers and airplane
carriers has been either stopped or
slackened. This is exactly like a man
who practices economy by giving up
his insurance whether on his house or
on his life"

Washington. - President Harding's
appearances before the Senate last

debate in the Senate when the Ship

considered, during which his course
was criticised and defended.

sin, who referred TO the resolution in.
troduced in the House by Representa-.
tive Cochran, Democrat of New
York, criticising the president for ad.
dressing one branch of Congress on
pending legislation.
Senator Lodge, the Republican
leader. called attention to the peace
without-victory' speech of former
President Wilson to the Senate before
American entrance into the war and
his addresses later on the suffrage
amendment. 1t would be sad day.
Lodge said, for the republic when one
of the three branches of the govern
ment could not confer with another.
Declaring il was mot necessary
"either to criticise or eulogize Mr..
Harding" Senator Borah, Republican
of Idaho, said that on the question of
the bonus I'VE surrendered our judg-
ment to his dictation." If the presi,
dent wanted precedents there were
plenty, he said, adding that this did
not change the situation.
La Toilette assailed the president
for what he called executive interfer-
ence with the legislative branch of the
government. He charged that the
president was brought into the debate
to prevent passage of the bill. and that
his action was without authority under
the constitution,
Senator Knox, Republican of Penn
sylvania, interjected with "and l see
no reason why Congress should be de-
barred from the White House, as has
occurred in the past eight years"
Saying he never had heard such a
violent denunciation of WILSON, as
had been directed at Mr.. Harding,
