Surplus Women!
Problem Frets
AlOf England

London, Sept. 2S.-The problem
of England's surplus women
which has been causing much con
Germ since the toll Of war was re
vealed, has been increased in the
public interest by publication oi
the 1921 census figures.
Two million surplus women
what shall be done with them ?r
has been the general theme OF the
printed and spoken discussion OF
the problem.
The census, however, revealed
that this was a popular round
number, and the actual excess of
females over males is one and
three-quarters. The pre-war fig
ures revealed a Appropriateness
OF million and quarter. Hence
1T is proved that the problem of
surplus womenkind" has only
been increased by half a million,
or, in other words, by the number
OF men who gave their lives in the
great war.
Nature is correcting this in
equality herself, experts point out
as the latest birthrate figures
show a marked increase in the
plurality" which boys register
over the girl birthrate. The anony-
nous author of Women Adrift"
contributing to the press discus
sion, points out that building the
fighting for the empire
and undertaking its more hazard
ous occupations has caused the
discrepancy in numbers.

Florida bankers in tourist towns, but

cry case IT is necessary for the conf
dcnce men to send the victim to a
bank in the city where they stage the
play, to get his check or draft col
lected by mail. The collection of this
check by mail gives the United
States power to prosecute the conf
dence men and all who knowingly aid
them, under sections 215 and 81 of the
penal code
The victim is met IN Florida by one
of the gang. who in some cases ac-
cidentally stumbles across pocket
book containing valuable papers and
money, which leads to an introduction
to the second member of the gang,
who pretends to have advance infor-
nation of either speculative move

claim by winning small sum of

ger" of the fake brokerage, club
house, or exchange, to which the vic
tim is lured, and which is deliberately
furnished with fake instruments, quo
tation board, cashiers desk, etc, who
says that mistake was made by the
cashier in accepting the check of the
second confidence man and that it
must be verified before payment can
be made. Thereupon, the second con-
fidence man confesses to the victim
that he drew the check for more than
he had funds, and pleads with the
first confidence man and the victim to
come to his assistance to make good

induced to go home and raise his
share. Returning TO the scene of the
play with check Of his own bank, he
IS induced to 90 to bank, invariably
selected by the confidence men, for
reasons satisfactory to themselves,
and to deposit his check for collection.
AS soon as the bank notified him, aft
er lapse of several days, that the
check has been paid, he draws out all
o. the proceeds in currency and is
carried to the fake brokerage Office,
where the confidence men stage an
other bet or speculation, causing loss
OF his money by pretending to have
made an error. The second man pre-
tends to assault the first man for his
blunder, causing a disturbance. to
quell which a call to the police is
threatened. They induce the victim to
leave the city at once and to meet the
second confidence man in a remote
city on the pretext of making good
his loss at another brokerage Office.
Failing to meet the second confidence
man as agreed. he finally realizes he
has been swindled, and returns to his
home.
The earmark of this kind of fraud
is the demand of a stranger to the
hank, who invariably comes not iden-
titled, for the payment of the entire
proceeds of collections in currency as
soon as he learns the bank has OBJ
tanned transfer of his funds. The
confidence men are always outside the
bank watching the victim and the
banker. Very respectfully,

The attempt by Representative
Mondell of Massachusetts and other
partisan republicans to expel Con-
gresham Blanton of Texas from the
House of Representatives failed by
eight votes. Blanton has been active
in trying to make the government
printing Office an open shop and it is
more than likely that Mondell was
trying to make political capital than
that his sense of decency was shocked.

profane mean the same thing, and
vile, foul, filthy and obscene also prac-

''The Greatest Love" Is
Coming to Magic City

ssThe Greatest Love-" Lewis j..
Selznick's powerful Select Special,
which will appear for the first time
in Bogalusa at the Magic City Thea
ter. Saturday, November 10, is re-
markable for many things, but one
outstanding point that Immediately
impressed itself upon the observer IS
the magnitude and qualitv Of the cast.
The star Of the production is Vera
Gordon, whose spectacular rise to
fame as the mother" of "Humores-
que" was the sensation of the year
in screen circles. Vera Gordon also
has a mother" part IN this remark
able Select picture, and it is said her
portrayal of Mrs. Lantini far eXceIs
her previous screen efforts.
One Of the principal male roles has
been assigned to Hugh Huntley, who
is both by experience and personality
fitted for this role which calls for
some unusual emotional acting.
w. H. Tooker, one of the most
sought after character actors on the
screen, and who recently starred in
''The Stealers," has the part of Mr..
Manton, while the 'heavy" part falls
to the lot of Donald Hall, who has
long been a screen favorite and who,
even before that, was a musical COM
edy star in such productions as
"Floradora," "The Girl Behind the
Counter" etc. In the difficult emo
tional role of Mrs. Sewell will be
seen Sally Crute, whose blonde beau
ty has long been an attraction on the
screen. :.
The story Of "The Greatest Love"
calls for three juvenile leads, and
Fannie Shelton, Bobby Watson and
Ray Dean are three youthful players
who display marked ability, especial
" Fannie Shelton, who gives every
indication of becoming star in the
not distant future. Bertram Mar
burgh, an actor of experience, and
Jessie Simpson, in a comedy charac-
terization, complete the adult mem
bers of the cast.
The child players, however, should
not be overlooked, as they have very
important parts in the production.
Foremost among these is little Bobby
Connolly, who has been before the
public since he was three years OF
age. Dainty Dot Williams plays
Opposite" Bobby Connolly. Dot is
also player OF experience despite
the fact that she is not yet twelve
years of age.

10000 STRAWBERRY
PLANTS RECEIVED

Farmers as well as citizens of Be-
galusa will be interested in learning
that the Chamber of Commerce has
received 10000 strawberry plants
which will be sold at cost to farmers
of this vicinity. This is the result
of the work of the farmers division
of the Chamber of Commerce which
will, at least, afford an abundance Of
strawberries for BOgalusa next
spring. If the season is a success
full one it will possibly result in 9TH
er farmers planting berries next fall
and as j. P. Starns, who was the ORR
ginator of the idea for this section,
hopes a sufficient crop will be raised
the following season to enable ship
ments in carload lots.
