SPECIAL FILM FOR
 BOYS TO BE SHOWN
 IN Y. M. C. A. LOBBY

Through the kindness Of the Curtis Publishing company. the boys depart ment of the Young Mems Christian association has secured their film, Thomas Jefferson Morgan. P-J-G." The film depicts. with the interest pe- culiar to motion pictures, the youth full career of Thomas Jefferson Nor gan, an imaginary character, whose experiences are drawn from real life. How Thomas taught himself why he should stay In school, and how he learned to apply practically his schooling make a story that will do two things. Provide inspiration and suggestion for all persons that are in- terested in education and boy well fare, and interest exceedingly any group of intelligent spectators.
 physical director and playground supervisor makes the following state ment about the film; From artistic, entertaining. altruistic and practical point of view, Thomas Jefferson Mor- gan P-J-G, lacks absolutely nothing. It appeals to the boy nature from every emotion; 1t touches his aspira- tions. his bigoted ways. his disgusts. but, above all. his admiration for the qualities that get there" This pie ture before the eyes of an American boy must be productive ot directing latent energy into wide channels of usefulness"
 Professor Harrup, city boys work secretary. Y NJ. C. A. Is very anxious that every boy and his parents see this picture. The admission has been made free to all. It is a most inspir- ing firm for boys, parents, teachers, boy workers, and any others inter- ested in the men of the future. Show begins Friday at 7:S0 promptly in Y. NJ C. A. lobby. the secretary says.

with the very latest and best machin- cry, including many appliances of original design. The coffee is car- ried through it's various processes untouched by hand.
 This great industry grew from a little coffee roasting concern in Nashville, where two small cylinders of meager capacity composed the equipment. The growth of the Check Neal company has been steady and consistent, constantly reaching into new territory. Few coffee concerns in the United States have reached the pinnacle achieved by the Cheek Neal company in blazing a path to- ward success.
 MT Cheek and Mir. Neal are both Kentuckians. It is interesting to know that Mir. Cheek has associated eight sons. J. R. Neal, an only son, assists his father in the management of the Houston plant.
 The Cheek-Neal company has long been believer in and consistent user of advertising. From small local ad- vertisng several years ago, this con cern has expanded its publicity ef- forts constantly until today 1t Is using national magazines. several hundred leading newspapers in every section of the country including many of the big metropolitan dailies, billboards and street car cards. Through everlasting publicity, backed by a worthy product, the great busi- ness of today has been built. With the opening of the New York plant another milestone has been passed, and plans for further increases and expansion are already under consid- eration.

CONGRESS LIKELY
 ID END SESSION
 BY THANKSGIVING
DiSarmed of Suspicion, No Embarrassing Questions
 Will Be Discussed While Delegates Sit
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

800 Davidson Building.
 Washington. November 17.--(spe- oiaL L)-The proposal of the American delegation to the disarmament con- ference has disarmed Congress of its suspicion. And instead of carrying out it's threat to discuss embarrassing questions while the delegates sit, Congress in all probability will ad- journ the extraordinary session just prior to Thanksgiving.
 The President was very anxious that Congress adjourn November 10. Congress refused. There is no ques- ton but that Senator Borah and others desired to discuss the enormous debt that European nations owe the United States It is certain also that Borah was anxious to discuss in the Senate the action of the House in burying the Senate bill under the terms of which tolls as applied to American vessels engaged in coast wise trade would be repealed.
 But the Idaho senator Is firmly con vnced that the American delegation will do all within its power to bring about practical disarmament. He may have minor criticism to make. But on the big project he Is satisfied.
 A Do-Nothing Session
 The extraordinary session of Con gress has been characterized by a lack of achievement. It was d do- nothing session It was called to re- lieve the people of the burden of war. The republican programme included the enactment of a tax revision and a permanent tariff bill. The permanent tariff bill has passed the House, but is tied up In the finance committee of the Senate, where eventually 1t will be rewritten. It's passage will be an event of January or February, it is now indicated.
 The conferees of the House and Senate are wrestling with the tax re- vision bill. It Is admittedly a bad bill The republicans do not boast ot it. They content themselves with the statement that it is the best that they could produce under the circum- stances" It relieves "big business" by virtue of its repeal of excess profit taxation. It contains no relief for the man of small means. Democrats de- clare 1t iniquitous, but admit that it would have been more so but for combination between democrats and progressive republicans.
 Beer BiiI Unconstitutional
 In the extraordinary session an emergency or peanut" tariff bill was enacted and the time of its operation extended. It's failure to boost the price of agricultural products was exemplified in the recent advice of the Secretary of Agriculture to the producers of corn In the west that they burn their product instead of coal
 The antl-beer bill will be enacted Friday, in all probability. It will go to the President. Before signing 1t the President will refer 1t to the At torney General for an opinion. The Attorney General prior to such refer ence declines to make statement But important lawyers in Congress declare 1t will be found to be uncon- stitutional.
 The other work of the session has been- exceedingly minor, and was completed over the protests of the ad- ministration forces. The Borah res olution providing for the arms con ference Is an example of that work.

AUTO CRASHES INTO SHOW WINDOW WHEN
 BRAKES FAIL TO WORK

When the brakes failed to work, Mrs. Robert Clark, 1722 Tenth ave- nue. south. drove five-passenger Ford automobile across the sidewalk and smashed the plate glass show window of Bearman's Quality Shoppe, SIS North Nineteenth street, and the slab underneath the window, about 6 o'clock last night
 Mrs. Clark had turned in to the curb to park, and the brakes, for some reason, failed to work; the car was running about four miles an hour and had just enough force to break the glass and slab. The left front fender struck the glass just above the base, and the left front wheel broke the slab or base of the window. Mrs Clark had her four children with her at the time of the accident. No one was hurt.
 The damage to the window and base is estimated at $200.

JANE C0WL IN "SMILIN' THROUGH" DELIGHTS A CAPACITY AUDIENCE

Jane Cowrs beauty and histrionic gifts, as we'll as the support of an exceptionally good company, made "Smilin Through" at the Jefferson theatre last night a delightful play of comedy and sentiment.
 Miss Cowl is not only one of the most beautiful and magnetic women on the American stage. but she com pines with these advantages ability of a high order. While "Smilin' Through may be regarded as light material for an actress of her ca pacity and experience, 1t was admir- ably done and Miss Cowl in partic- ular seemed to play the part of a piquant Irish beauty, blessed with the wit of the old sod, as If she really enjoyed 1t. Certainly everybody in the Jefferson theatre did, and that playhouse was filled to overflowing. every vantage point in the gallery being filled by people who could not get seats in the balcony or on the orchestra floor, so great was the de- sire to see her.
 Beginning with prologue in heaven, "Smilin' Through" goes back 50 years to tell the story of John Carterets wedding night, when his bride was shot down in the garden of his ancestrial home by a rejected suitor, During all these 50 years Carteret has cherished an undying hatred for Jeremiah Wayne, the man who killed his promised bride, and that hatred flames out anew whom Waynes son, Kenneth, falls in love with his niece, Kathleen Dungannon, passion which is fully reciprocated by Kathleen. The old gentleman storms to good purpose, breaks with his life-long friend. pr. Harding, who was to have been his best man on the fatal night, and then the World war calls Kenneth away. Even that cataclysm does not change Carteret, but in the end Kathleen's tears do more than her bantering and coaxing could ever do. The tragedy of 50 years ago is obllterated when Ken meth comes home maimed in battle
 touch of spiritualism in the play is the suggestion that Moonyeen Clare. the slain bride. watches over her lover from the other world, keep ing her VOW that death itself could not part them or destroy their love. There is much delightful comedy in the play and the sentiment rings true. Miss Cowl played two roles. as mat ter of fact, Moonyeen Clare and Kath- leen Dungannon. Both as Moonyeen and as Kathleen she was most charming and her acting was the per lection of art.
 Lawrence Grant gave a fine DOT trayal of a choleric old gentleman, as John Carteret and bore himself equally well in that part of the play where he was supposed to be 50 years younger. N. St. Clair Hales played Dr. owen Harding extremely well and Orme Caldera in the dual roles ot Kenneth and Jeremiah Wayne showed himself most competent actor. Miss Grace Hampton as Ellen and c. Rally Hick as Willie Aingley were good. The other. parts were credita- bly, presented.
 The beauty of the stage setting added no little to the enjoyment of the play.

 Legitimate Interests
By Associated Press

Washington, November 17-Hope that the nations participating in the armament conference will indorse the Russian policy outlined by Secretary Hughes in his note to the far east ern republic on September 19, was ex- pressed tonight by Ambassador Ricci of Italy.

PRINCE OF WALES
 CAUSES TROUBLE
 AMONG NATIVES
Precautions Taken to Guard Prince-Secret Service of India Considered Very
 Efficient
By Associated Press

London, November 17.-Details of todays disturbance in the nativs quarter of Bombay while the Prince of Wales was going through the Flu ropean section of the city were not available here at late hour today But 1t is known that the secret serv- ice in India had taken the most elaborate precautions to guard the prince from danger in view of the recent government agitation there.
 The police machine in India is said to be so perfect that 1t would be al- most impossible for the non-co -oper ationists to have planned a demon stration for today without the au- thorities being aware of 1t ane throwing strong cordons of guards about the native quarter to restaia the agitators and prevent them from getting near the prince.
 The secret service of India Is re- ported to be one of the most com plete in the world. being comparable with the famous system of Russia before the war.
 It was recalled today that wher King George last visited India ht was the center of a remarkable scene in Calcutta. At that time thousands of natives thronged the street: through which the royal carriage was progressing, eager to pay homage t. the King. Against the wishes of his advisors, the King ordered his strong bodyguard of cavalry to fall back and allowed the population to swarm about his carriage. Many natives actually climbed on the carriage, bu' but their eagerness was due to desire to express reverence to roy alfv
