CHARLES RAY MAKES HIT AT THE LIBERTY

falling timber starts Charles Ray on the road to fortune and hap piness in his new Thomas H. Ince picture, Red Hot Dollars which will be shown at the Liberty Theater for the last time tonight. This made a big hit last night. The youthful star has the role of Tod Burke, a laborer in an iron foundry He is only an insignificant cog in the big industrial machine until one day he saves his rich employer, Peter Gar ton, from the heavy timber when it crashes down from a travelling crane in the foundry. Tom himself is in jured, and Carton, out of gratitude, has him nursed back to. health. Then the ironmaster gives him an execu- tive job in the iron works, so that Tod is transformed from grimy toiler in overalls to a perfectly groomed youth behind a huge roll topped desk and then other things happen.

EUROPE OFFERS
 NO MARKET FOR
 RAW MATERIALS
Former Postmaster General Burleson Makes Report
 on Conditions.

BERLIN. July 19.-A. $ Burleson. former United States Postmaster General, who has returned to Berlin after Investigating the commercial, industrial and financial conditions of Poland. Austria and Czechoslo- vakia, is of the opinion that there is little hope of selling Europe large quantities of cotton and other raw materials until Germany and other countries of Central Europe balance their budgets and make definite ar rangements to discontinue the issu- ance of paper money and to retire that currency until its volume is only three times that of their gold reserves.
 q can't see any indication that the statesmen of Central Europe are facing their problems frankly and at the fundamental problems and might insure the resumption of the industries and the renewal of the ex- port trade,' said Mir. Burleson. "It is not reasonable to talk about for eign loans to Central Europe as long as the printing presses continue to pour out paper money without any gold guarantee or any prospect that it will be retired.
 Germany is in far better condition than the other countries of Central Europe, and l personally believe Ger. many could improve it's exchange situation very speedily if it would stop issuing paper money and levy tax over a period of 10 years to guarantee it's retirement of and the creation of a larger gold reserve. Foreign bankers want to see definite plans before they take a chance on the countries of Central Europe"

PROFANE MEN AND FAT MEN ARE GOOD
 INSURANCE RISKS

LOUISVILLE, Ky, July 19'-- Profane men, fat men, and, above all. married men, are considered to be best risks by surety companies, declared Frederick N. Whitney, rep resentative Nof NewYork surety company, who addressed the Ken lucky State Road Engineers Good Roads Congress at the closing ses- sion today.
 "Profane men, the speaker de- clared, give vent to their wrath by cursing, but they seldom appro- priate what belongs to others. Fat men are too content with. them selves and the world to harm their fellow men. Love for their family keeps married men honest"
 From the standpoint of honesty Mir. Witney said records show that women adhere to the Golden Rule more so than men. He said the crank" and the nut make eX- cellent risks, and that the races CT Nor thorn Europe are mere honest than those of Southern Europe. Racially, the Chinese lead in hon esty, he said

BEAR CREEK PELTED
 BY HAIL ON FOURTH

A remarkable Fourth of July dem when a furious hailstorm took place at Bear Creek, eight miles from Daw- son, according to the Dawson News. It started some time after 3 o'clock in the afternoon and lasted about 30 minutes. Hailstones ranging from the size of peas to that of an drdin- ary marble, with some said to have been as large as hens eggs, fell, and did considerable damage to gardens and other property.
 Four windows in the, Fournier roadhouse were smashed, as were five in the c. K NJ. machine shops, and 17 in Mrs Besner's hothouse The tomatoes and other vegetables and plants in the hothouse were ruined. Radishes in the gardens were cut wide open by the hail.
 The hail fell to a depth of four to six inches and some places even deeper It also struck No. dredge but did not reach to No dredge The storm also seemed to extend over the hill to the south toward Quartz Creek Much of the hail was still on the ground the next after noon No indication of hail was visible near Dawson, The denizens of Bear Creek are puzzled to know what they had done that they should be pelted in such fashion.

the Emir Feisul, for the rulership of the new Mesopotamian state.
 Colonel Lawrence of the Colonial office, who has lived among the Wahabi for years, told an interview CT that they were indeed most violent people. They are, he said, fanatically Mohammedan and would kill their men and women, for smok- ing even cigarette. The way they correct their women is to tie them up in bags and beat them unmerci- fully with palm canes.
 Tough On Wives
 Each man has three wives. Should any of them go out of doors, the code allows him to have her put to death. This is because they believe that if any other man looks at her she is contaminated and that if 8 woman goes outside her home she Is certain to go wrong.
 Wearing a silk dress of any costly finery, precious stones or metals, is also penal offense.
 Tn no sense are they a decadent people, Colonel Lawrence conelud- ed They are virile and as austere as they are bloodthirsty and brave. It should be cheap at 60,000 pounds a year to buy their goodwill and to keep them quiet
 The latter view, however, does not meet with universal acception. Many taxpayers would prefer to see the end of all British commitments in Mesopotamia. vx=

CAPITALISTIC PLOT
 CHARGED BY PAPER
 ON SUGAR INDUSTRY

HAVANA, July 19-The news paper La Discussion has published 8 charge that a "capitalstic plot to dominate the Cuban sugar industry has been formed and that all the Cuban sugar centrals will be owned by foreigners. The newspaper as serts that when the Cuban sugar business is found in foreign hands, it is almost certain that the price of sugar will lisc as if by magic and that the business will be on an even more stupendous scale than now
 When American capitalists began an invasion to secure control of Gu ban centrals," the pape rcontinued, they foresaw an era of prosperity and bought without sparinS their millions as many sugar properties were for sale. The price of the pro duct rose to 23 cents, then it was seen that good part of the crop remained in Cuban hands and that the Cubans aspired to obtain the II POooibiO Pi iioC. ihSh tiiN price fell like an avalanche from 23 to 3 cents.
 First a bank crisis, then cur rency crisis. There was no money to pay for refining, nobody 70 buy this years crop from theo Cubans. Our sugar men now find them selves owing large sums of money to the banks. They have not been able to sell their crop. With the termination of the moratorium will disappear the restriction against pending commercial obligations The sugar men will have to pay or go bankrupt. The banks are not inter ested in holding sugar centrals.
 "On the other hand there exists much idle foreign capital which ,s anxious to make a killing. Right now a powerful company is beins, formed to acquire every central and plantation whose owner cannot pay The properties secured, the debts will be paid. So what is worth from five to ten is secured for one A case of opportunity.
