NEED NO DOUBLE FOR FATTY"
He Plays Part of Infant by Aid of
Clever Screen Trick.

One of the newest miracles of the
screen is the recent stuHt performed
by the Paramount forces at Holly
wood, when it was made possible for
Roscoe FATTY" Arbuckle, to play the
part of an infant, then a boy later
youth and finally the grown up fat
man he really is. The camera never
lies but oh, how the camera can de-
deceived, every Topekan will think
when he sees "Brewster's Millions"
in which this stunt is successfully ac-
complished.
Fatty" whose size is not to be over
looked, is first shown in this film as
an infant and in order that he really
appear as an infant and not like a fat
man dressed up-or down, the director
of the picture had all the scenery
made in proportion. In other words
he had high chair and nursing bottle
constructed to fit ArbuckIe and then
made the rest of the scenery SO large
that when photographed Fatty" tho
still fat, looked not like a man but
rolly polly baby
1t is one of the most novel stunts
played by the screen tricksters since
the old days when the actors were
shown running rapidly up the side of
the house. Those who have seen the
film declare that the baby and kid
scenes in "Brewster's Millions beat
any of the stunts of the old days To-
pekans will get a chance to Judge for
themselves at the Isis theater this
week.

Chicago, May 16.-Blame for run
away daughters was placed squarely
upon the shoulders of parents today
by Mrs. Alice Clemens, Chicago's ia
nous policewoman.
Mrs. Clemens issued a warning to
the nations parents to prevent their
girls from leaving home. Girls, suf-
fering from spring restlessness, are
disappearing in greater numbers than
ever before, she said. Two hundred
cases of missing girls have been re-
ported to Chicago police this spring.
Warnings to Parents.
This advice was given parents by
Mrs. Clemens, 4 who is herself the
mother of three grown daughters:
do not take every cent of your
daughters income when she starts
working. Take reasonable amount
for board and room. make her save
some and then give her plenty of
spending money. .
Girls want pretty things. If they
cannot bIiy them out of their own in
come, they will get them some way.

TO DECIDE ON MATERIAL
Commissioners Discuss Use of Brick or
Stone in Filtration Plant.

Whether the new city water filtra-
ton plant shall be of brick or stone
probably will be decided on Tuesday.
A meeting for the purpose was
planned by Mayor Herbert ]. Corwine
this afternoon. but the absence of
Commissioner w. A. Stanfield of the
water department has delayed the
meeting.
Specifications for the filtration
plant, as drawn by Black & Veatch,
consulting engineers of Kansas City,
Mo, provide for Silverdale cut stone,
TO harmonic with the old city water
works buildings. But when the city
commission awarded the general con-
a ract for the work on the plant to the
Unit Construction company of st.
Louis. the commissioners reserved the
right to change the building material
10 brick instead of stone within thirty
days after the awarding of the con-
tract. The thirty days expired on
April so. A number OF brick dealers
have urged the use of brick in the
plant, pointing out the saving it would
mean to the city to use brick, but
whether the city may yet have the
right to change the building material
specifications is doubtful, commission

Supreme Court Makes Big In
come Tax Decision.
Increased Value of Property
Can Be Called Profit.
MANY MILLIONS INVOLVED
Hughes Argued for Company
Before Entering Cabinet.
Federal Inheritance Tax Law
Also Held Valid:

Washington. May 16.-The federal
government, by a decision of the SUI
preme court today, won one of the
most important tax suits in recent
years when the court held that the
increased value of natural resources
held by corporation is profit and
therefore is taxable as income.
Justice Pitney read the decision of
the court. The decision means that
many millions of dollars will be kept
in the treasury, according to govern
ment estimates.
Increased Value Profit.
The suit was brought by the La
belle Iron Works, a West Virginia
corporation, when the commissioner
it of more than $1,000, 900 for the in
b creased value of ore lands in the
Mesabi range.
This was done on the ground that
the value of lands which originally
cost 100000 had increased to $1O,-
los. 400. The increased value was rep
resented by a stock dividend issued
by the company increasing its CAPT
talization by $9,915,40O.
The increase, the company con-
tended, was not profit, but an in
crease in invested capital. Charles E.
Hughes, now secretary of state, ar
gued the case for the company.
The federal inheritance tax law en-
acted September s, 1916, was held
valid. The e raj governments
