MOVIE 1 E

Alice Lake in her latest starring picture for Metro, "The Golden Gift" a Maxwell Karger production for Metro, which will be shown for the last time tonight at the Empress Theater, gives one of the most dra- matic portrayals of her screen career.
 The story is one which holds the interest throughout. It pictures the adventures of a young singer who, deserted by her husband, places her child with strangers and then through her singing in border cabaret starts on a career which carries her to grand opera. With success assured the child re-enters her life and the plans so carefully made are unex- pectedely changed.
 A beautiful Lady Babbie-such is the verdict of all who have seen Betty Compson in the stellar role of "The Little Minister" a Paramout picture, which comes to the Empress Theater Thursday. Miss Compson was never lovelier, than in her gypsy characterization in this picture. E.. A. Bingham adapted the Sir James M. Barrie play to the screen.

REFORM CAR USED
 FOR AUTO SPEEDERS

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 30.-Use of a reform car" has been resorted to by Judge G. E. Unruh of this city in an effort to minimize the amount of reckless automobile driving in the vicinity of Salem.
 The auto, which has largeD banners on either side bearing the captain in big red letters, "This is a traffic violator being taught the rules of the road" was placed in operation here recently.
 A traffic violator, who had pleaded guilty before Judge Unruh to speed ing his car at the rate of 40 miles an hour and who admitted to the court that he was racing" was the first man to drive the car. He was fined and ordered to drive the Ere form car"
 Judge Unruh says that his move to eliminate speeding and reckless driv- ing is not a bluff, and that other violators can expect similar sent ences.

FILIPINO MAIDS LIKE STYLES
 OF U. s. GIRLS

MANILA, Jan. 31. - Seeing her free and gala apparel of the modern flapper, Wi Ing Tay, a Chinese girl, began the transition from her nation al dress with adopting the short skirit and the rolled stockings, much to her mothers disgust. Her vag- aries were tolerated, however, until she bobbed her hair-when she was soundly spanked and still more soundly scolded.
 i Wi lost face, she was miserable and desperate Stealing from home she threw herself into a barge canal and would have succeeded in going where flappers either fear to tread or where they are free from paren- tai restraints had not the police res cued her.
 Now she is back home, safe, eX- cept for more encounters with her mothers conservatism. It is rather safe bet that pretty Wi, if she persist, will win out-the notions of the Western woman as eXemplified .n the young American woman in Manila are irresistible to Filipino and Chinese alike. There are more dash and hidden coquetry, perhaps, ill the hand-painted silk hose, delicately col ored trousers of finest silken texture and jaunty blouse that are the Chi nese girls costume that can be found in the garb of a flapper.
 But the Chinese girl can't see it that way. Besides, it is not that way in the movies, her nightly diversion l9ing to observe the dress and man. ners of Bebe Daniels, Billy Burke, Mary-all the charming Marys-and Constance Binney.
 The Filinpino girl has always been a flapper until well along in her teens. Her short, one-piece camisole, with belt, pockets and sporty shoes, has merely undergone a certain meta morphosis of fashion until now it is ultra-flapper and charming.
 Ask any gob returned from Manila if she can dance. She is getting the privilege of going out without a chaperon, too, and is rapidly becom- ing her own chauffeur. At recep- tions and balls the Filipino flapper, from the high schools and colleges, has all the men at her feet. Her mad vivacity is infectious. She is rapidly taking the country's fancy into camp. Three languages she commands, at least, with great ability to couquette in all of them. If she lapses into native dress, which she will do on the most formal occa- sions, she will talk Spanish; but she prefers informal functions, no chap eron and English.
 Conservatism is scandalized, of course, but she should worry. Jazz and flapperism are nationalized in the Philippines.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 31-The Ozark ped dler is almost extinct.
 Many years ago it was a familiar sight to see the old peddler with his bag of goods slung across his should der merrily making his way down the road in the foothills of the mountains which run through the State of Mis- souri. A stretch of the Ozark hills is within 20 miles of this city.
 Tn those days the peddler had req son to be happy. He was welcomed by those who lived in these out-of-the way spots and his business brought him fair livelihood.
 The Ozark foot merchant was sim liar to the old Donegal peddler in Ire land in that he made his way from house to house by foot, laying his goods before the housewife, and be- tween exchanges of merry comment bartered his wares.
  they have brought, especially in trans portation, have witnessed the gradual disappearance of the once merry ped dled. One by one have thrown aside their bag and quit until today it is an oddity to see one.
 No longer do the hillfolks depend on the picturesque peddler for cloth ing and household necessities, and those few who are left complain they are making a scant living.
 Transportation is not the only req son for the change, said one of the peddlers in commenting on the pres ent-day scarcity of their numbers.
 "The world seems to be changing he remarked. Human nature does not hold out the cup of kindness like it once did There was one time when we were welcomed at the doors of the mountaineers' homes, but not so today.
 "Seldom are we able to gain admit tance to a house and often not even permitted to display our goods. It is nothing unusual to have the door slammed in my face and be refused even the pleasure of cheerful greet ing"
 The few that are left are those who have spent their lives traversing the mountains. With their passing will go just one more tradition.

one Of Colquitt's representatives III

blame for the failure of the gen

another at the extra session that
was almost Identical with income
tax in SO states. The senate, he
claims, insisted on features that
would have destroyed its effective

WASHINGTON SOCIETY STIRRED
BY THREAT OF SCANDAL
in BIG LIQUOR ROUNDUP
Officers Say Customers Of
Bootleg Ring viii Be Pros
ecuted for Conspiracy"
Big Syndicate Broken

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Some
more joy was taken out of the
Christmas season today by a public
threat from the district attorneys
office to prosecute those whose
names appear on long and impos-
ing list of customers seized yesterday
in raid on what the police describe
as a powerful syndicate of bootleg
gers.
Regardless of the social, political
or official prominence Of persons
who are shown to be purchasers OF
liquor from the alleged syndicate"
said Assistant District Attorney Pres
mont, prosecution will follow, and
the names will be placed before the
grand jury.
From statements Of the police it
looks as though a scandal in Wash
ington may be precipitated by such
action. but when a conspiracy case
is made against sellers OF liquors,
there is no reason why the buyers
should escape prosecution"
About 1900 names appeared on
the list seized when headquarters of
the Syndicate" in a downtown Of
flee building were raided. A dozen
arrests were made, and the present
plans Of officials are to bring the
prosecution under the conspiracy
clause of the Volstead act. This
clause makes purchasers OF Illicit
liquor guilty along with those who
make the sale, but heretofore there
has been little serious effort to bring
prosecutions against the ultimate
consumer"
None of the names on the list have
been made public, but the police
have dropped many hints as to the
prominence of those involved Some
months ago similar list, taken in
a raid on another prominent bootleg
ger. and including the names of
number OF army and navy officers
and officials OF civil departments of
the federal government, was pub
lished in a Washington newspaper.
Some of those listed promptly denied
having made liquor purchases and
the district attorneys office appar
emily decided there was little posi-.
bllity of proving case against any
one except the bootlegger himself
The ten men and two women taken
in yesterdays roundup are said by
the police to have used an elaborate
code system under which customers
were provided with numbered cards
for Identification in placing tele
phone orders. Code letters also were
used in referring to different classes
Of intoXicants. Runners were held
at various points ready to make
quick deliveries and a sub-headquar
tiers was maintained in a, second Of
flee building to take care of local
business.
The source of supply is question
not yet fully developed, but the po-
lice believe that at least a part Of
the "syndicate's" stock came into
the country through the connivance
of foreign diplomats, who enjoy i'm
munity under the law. When an at
tempt was made to break into one
storehouse a member Of the staff of
foreign legation protested and po-
lice officials announced today that
they had turned the facts over to the
state department. The name of the
legation involved was not disclosed,
nor would state department officials
comment today on the possibility
of further developments

Taxi Driver Is Given
Death Sentence for
Staying in Florida

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 22.-W. r.
Asher was sentenced today by
Judge Mitchell D. Price to be hanged
for the murder of r. d. Niles, 76,
fellow taxi driver, last April, under
a conviction December /. Motion for
an appeal to the supreme court was
granted. A motion for new trial
had been denied December u and
an amended motion for a new trial
based on remarks which the court
was alleged to have made in denying
the original motion was denied to-
day.
The evidence against Asher was
circumstantial and was based largely
on the fact that he was the first to
report the disappearance of Niles,
who roomed at the Asher home. The
alleged motive was a loan of $1,000
which it was said Niles was press
ing Asher to repay.
