Witness Says Former Vet Hospital Head Sought Mar
 Cotics And Liquor

WASHINGTON, Oct. Exchanges that Charles R. Forbes, while dtrec- tor of the veterans bureau still was seeking as late as September, 1922 to surreptitously remove large stocks of narcotics from the government hospital at Perryville, Md, were made today at the continuation of the Senate investigation of the vet erans bureau.
 James NJ Williams, a Philadelphia dairyman, was the witness, his tes- timony being designed to support in part the sensational story told the committee last week by H. Morti- mer, also of Philadelphia, about his alleged relations with Forbes at time when he was seeking contracts for hospitals from the director.
 Williams testified that aside from and liquors Forbes, with man named Bieber, had sought to obtain from Mrs. Mortimer certain papers belonging to Mortimer and also to "embitter" Mrs. Mortimer against her husband. This was at time after Mortimer, according to his testimony, had broken" with Forbes and when, Williams understood, Mrs. Mortimer was contemplating a divorce from her husband
 The witness also told of remarks from Forbes that $80,000 was coming to Mortimer and that he would see that Mrs. Mortimer got 1t. Williams explained that from what he could gather from the conversation Morti- mer was arranging contracts" with the bureau. The witness said Forbes had stated that Mortimer was to be mer director sought his papers was arrested and that the reason the for that he did not want them in Mrs. Mortimer's possession at the time of the arrest. Forbes, accompanied by his attorney, James s. Easby Smith, was present throughout the sessions today.
 Besides the charges against Forbes, the committee inquired today into the purchase of the site for the bureau hospital at Excelsior Springs, Mo-, from E. L. Morse, at a cost of SIG, 100, and the alleged negligence and carelessness in the handling of disability and insurance claims of veterans.

MME TzENAUE R PLEASING ARTIST
.Cyrene Commandery's Sea- son AuSpiciouSIy Opened
 At Temple Monday

Cyrene Commandery No. 10. Knights Templar, has drill team desirous of travelling to the triennial conclave of the order in Seattle Wash. year and a half hence, fully equipped te compete with the cracks of other communicates of the United States. To obtain equipment, a se ries of entertainments are being presented at the Masonic temple au- ditorium during the present season. Madame Margaret Matzenauer op- ened the teams season of of ferings Monday night with an excel lent program. which deserved a much better house. Matzenauer was in fine voice and her numbers, on the whole, were pleasing. She could have elim- inated singing of several selections in German, not such a happy choice.
 Matzenauer'S first appearance In Birmingham had the effect of insur- ing her a heartier welcome on her next visit, it is apparent. Those fortunate enough to have executed plans to attend Monday nights con cert should not have been disap- pointed. The artists low and middle register tones were beautiful, her work comparing most favorably with that of Frances Aida, here two weeks ago.
 In George vause, Matzenauer has made a happy choice of an acrom- panist. vause plays with apparent ly unconscious effort. His numbers were we'll chosen. John Irelands "Ragamuffin," from London Pieces" was a delightful gem. Lovers of Rachmaninoff also rejoiced in Vause's rendition of 'Humoresque."
 Matzenauer's program was made up. with one or two exceptions, of selections calling for little effort above the ordinary Her interpreta- ton of an encore number, By the Waters of Minnetonka," was per haps most effective of all her choices. A spirited arrangement of "En Cuba by Frank LaForge brought out latent fire of Matzs- nauer's voice.
 The air, My Heart Is Weary" co. Thomas), called for expression, pow CT and all the attributes of an ex- cellent voice, within the range of artists only in the upper ranks. Gretchaninoff's lover the Steppe" was an effective number. Two short La Forge compositions, Take, O Take Those Lips Away" and The Messen- ger" were delightfully."- entertaining.
 Mozart's Opera Comique will be the attraction November at the temple.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE LYRIC

f- Bob Hall, billed as "The Ex- temporaneous Chap" was easily the headliner for the first half of the week at the Lyric, in conjunction with four other vaudeville acts that were worthy of first paragraph mention.
 Mildred Rogers and company with Jack Dorkin, presented a cycle of modern dances, which was one of the most clever dancing acts that has Visited this theatre for the season. Miss Rogers is clever dancer, both as to interpretive and buck and wing. as were her four dancing partners.
 But to get back to Bob Hall. He is one type of performer on the vau- deville stage that has no mechanical ' lines, but his ready wit and rhyme met with the instant approval of the audience and he was called back for several encores. He seems to enjoy his act as much as the audience.
 indoor Sports" satire on modern e5urting, was exceedingly funny It is departure from the general run of blaylets and the chatter kept tho audience laughing throughout. Cliff ford Mack as the bashful beau, and Bill as the heroic type were clever in their makeup. Anita Pam and Bonnie Beck filled in for the femi- nine pontion of the skit. Harvey Henry and SGrace present an oddity of most everything. The black face In the act is funny and the musical Numbers by the trio were good.

AT LoEw,s BIJOU

A
 With Rim -Rin-Tin, the famous Ger man police dog and World war hero, starring on the screen in Where the North Begins" and Charles F. Strick- land and his entertainers heading the vaudeville bill with their band. patrons of Loew's Bijou this week are entertained with two distinct bills.
 The picture itself is a show of it's own. With beautiful scenes of the far northwest, good plot and dog as a hero, one is reminded of Jack Londons Gall of the WilR The picture is similar in some of the de- tails to that famous story, but the author makes decided improvement in the ending of the tale. Rin-Tin- Tin seeks romance, it is true, and he needs the call of kind to kind, but he does not forget the fireside of man. The story is full of tense moments and touching scenes, ends happily for all concerned.
 Charles F. Strickland, in directing his men, put truth in the statement that every little movement has meaning of it's own" He used every muscle in his body while at work, and his boys responded nobly to his signals, producing some real music, Every instrument was brought out. Ehe drummer was especially good. They proved fine singers as well as musicians. Several of their original songs brought much applause.
 Tbe Donals Sisters proved an in teresting pair of gymnasts. Their act, consisting of the. usual strong arm balancing stunts, marked by aase and grace They were fol- lowed by the Kennedy and Kramer" duo, who drew down the house with some excellent hard shoe dancing.
 Barto and Clark proved themselves good for a good many laughs. The music store setting they used proved an interesting diversion. They didn't specialize, but used variety of Jokes, dances and songs.
 is Monte and Lyons proved big fla verftes with the audience a:-d were called back several times. They pre- sented a novelty musical number, using 2 mandolin, guitar and their voices. The imitation of a woman's voice was good.-J. NJ. c.

into the store and good salesmanship had done the rest.
 In answer to a question, Mir. Hol- berg said that by far the greater part of his firms advertising appro- priation was spent in newspaper ad- pended in direct-by- approaches, he said, but newspaper advertising is the great tried and true standby of the mercantile establishment. Much money is wasted on schemes and "specialties," Mir. Holberg de- clared and the cautious advertising man sticks to his daily newspapers. A committee of the Chamber of Com merce Is doing much to assist mer- chants in this respect, the speaker said. Transportation Man Talks.
 "The Relation of Transportation to Advertising" was the topic of w. N. Mitchell, general southeastern freight agent of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. who begged the Asso- ciated Advertising Clubs of the World representatives present to eX- ert the force of their influence in defense of the nations railways, which are constantly in danger, he said. of the assaults of demagogic politicians. The carriers needed some nation wide advertising, he said, to prevent certain wild Lochin- vars from out of the west, who are not riding with swords girded on like the Lochinvar Of romance, but with pockets bulging with bills that are intended to disrupt the transpor- tation lines of the country Speaking of the progress made by the rail- roads since the termination of gov ernment ownership, MT. Mitchell said:
 dn1, 1in cessity for a greater improvement and expansion, actually expended in the year 1922 for cars. locomotives and other facilities, s44o.000,0o0. And for 1923, to take care of the wonderfully growing agriculture and s1,1OO, ,OOO, 900 divided as follows: For cars, s515 100000; for locomotives. s16O ,000, 900; for trackage and other facilities s425,000; total, Sl,100,oO,OOO
 "The railroads have raised this enormous amount of additional capi- tai largely through borrowed money, on the abiding faith in the fairness of the American people, and reliance on the continuance of the policy an nounced in the transportation act CT 1920. as measure of reasonable pro lection to investment in railroad property"
 Charles B. Marsh of the advertis-
 
 smoke to the convention on What Can and Do the Newspapers Sell the Advertiser?"
 MT. Marsh asserted that a news paper could not sell prestige" as many papers claimed they do. that 1t could not guarantee sales. No mat ter how great the circulation of newspaper in a given field, CT how completely that medium claims to blanket the field, it cannot sell the rights of any of the readers in that territory who take another paper, he declared; and one paper with circu- lation of 100000 in particular sec tion could not pretend to deliver the purchasing power of the readers of another newspaper that had only 1000 circulation.
 No newspaper can guarantee against duplication" declared Mir Marsh. who said he spoke largely from the viewpoint of a buyer. in- stead of seller of space. because he had been buying advertising space

THE BAT" STANDS. AS LASTING PLAY
Few Attractions Have Met Same Test Of Years-Com-
 ing To Jefferson

Plays maw come and plays may go but "The Bat" will fly on for ever. Thus did one of the best known theatrical authorities in this city ex- press himself on seeing the an nGuncement that "The Bat" was to be seen at the Jefferson theatre for three nights, beginning Monday, No vember 5.
 The statement is certainly backed by substantial facts. Each year there are produced something like 200 new plays. Of that number about 90 are successful to the point where they show some margin of profit for their sponsors. And of those 90 there are seldom more than five that sur vive their first hectic year.
 To carry on with the thought, of that chosen five, it is fair to say there Is seldom one that survives in popular favor after its fifth year of existence. So rare, is 1t for play to come along that will stand the test of time and meet the ever changing mental state of the public, that it is a rarity whose virtues should be and are sung from the tops of the lofiest theatrical edifices.
 It is not easy to say what makes a play live beyond it's allotted span of years. The only general proposi- tion that might be advanced in eX- planatlOn IS that those rare pldyS are the ones that are based on some human emotion that has persisted and will persist throughout all time. Plays that have purely temporal top ics as their motif, cannot well hope to exist beyond the day the public has ceased to be interested in the theme about which they were writ ten.
 Love, hate, fear, jealously, greed all these human qualities. however, have been conspicious in the history of mankind, since the time that his tory began. And "The Bat" which embodies all of these great emotions in the complexities of it's plot, nat urally finds a responsive audience this year, just is it did last year and the year before and just as it un- doubtedly will for years to come.
 Add to these fundamental observa tions, the fact that Wagenhals and Kemper, the producers of this masterpiece by Mary Roberts Rhine hart and Avery Hopwood, have de- voted years of their lives to the task of knowing how to present a play adequately and add to that fact their insistence on never sending anything but an excellent company on tour in a play and you probably have the answer to the long-livity of "The Bat"

 At the afternoon session, presided over by l.. J. Woilhoite, there were a number of inspirational addresses and a most instructive round table discussion, led by Fred J. Holberg, advertising manager of the Louis Saks Clothing company. Mir Hol berg's subject was: Advertising and Management Should Advertising Man Be All Three?"
 MT. Holberg described some of the inside operations of his own store, telling how 1t was essential for the advertising manager to secure the cooperation of every department. and particularly the sales people, who, he said, must finish the job after the advertisement had done it's part and attracted customers to the store. Mir. Holberg cited one recent Instance in which his firm had ad- vertised women's coats for s5. Be- fore noon of the day appointed for the sale. he said, 102 coats had been sold. and only 32 of them were S5 coats-the remainder were coats ranging in value from s10 to $b5.

Everybody's digging up somebody

dug up monkey bones. A fellow we
know is still trying to dig up his in
come tax. A lot of people are Dig
ging up their back yards to plant
free seeds, because congress says they
will not get any more. Lord Carnar-
Won went to Egypt to dig up dead
one.
There is bunch of dead ones in
your, town. You'd be surprised to
find how easy it is to dig them up.
Once you've dug up dead one you'll
find that selling him a Legion mem
bership is like finding pure gold for
your post, like planting Legion but
tons that will blossom on hundreds of
other coat lapels once you've got him
digging for dead ones too. It's funny
how live a dead one can be. Look at
the fuss old King Two-Tanks is MAX
ing.
Somebody sold you. Why did you
buy? Think it over and you'll find
that the same argument will sell
many an ex-service man who never
was in the Legion before.
Dig up an old member and get him
to dig up his dues. Get new one
to dig up his.
It's diggin' time in all diggings.
