TENTH WOMAN
 TO PLAY CAPITOL
Answer To Oft Asked
 Question Promised In ShO W

Something entirely different, "The Tenth Woman" is being shown at the Capitol today and tomorrow. You've possibly or surely heard the old saying |: Mine out of every ten women are alike," but what have you heard about the tenth? The answer to this woman is given at the Capitol.
 The story of "The Tenth Woman" deals with the lives of two girls, one Rose Ann, a married flapper, the other, Villa, a more serious type of girl whose interest lies more with the home than with racing cars, who cares more to please the man she loves than to seek her own pleasures. After various quar- rels with her husband, Rose Ann runs away to Barry Compton's ranch on the strength of her friendship with Barry, and Villa comes to the conclusion that Barry is in love with Rose Ann.
 The plot is absolutely original and offers wonderful entertainment.
 Philippe s. Rowell has selected spe- cial music to be offered each night af- ter z o'clock.
 For Friday and Saturday the Capi- tol will play Gloria Swanson in one of her new pictures, "A Society," Scandal.

FILIPINOS GAIN
 RIGHT TOBECOME
 CITIZENS OF U. s.
Supreme Court Bases Ruling On Status Of
 Porto Ricans
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Natives of the Philippines are eligible to become American citizens, whether or not they have been in the military service of the United States, it was ruled today by the supreme court of the District of Columbia.
 The ruling was made in a test case in- volving Ambrosic Javier. born in the Philippines. and who declared Novem- Der 30, 1921, his intention of becoming an American citizen. Opposition of the bureau of naturalization to the granting of final papers to Javier was Overruled.
 Not Eligible
 The position of the bureauwas based solely on the ground Filipino, unless entitled by virtue or military or naval service, is not eligible for naturaliza- tion under the provisions of any appli- cable law of the United States. The bureau claimed that the FilipinOs do not owe permanent allegiance to the United States and quoted the preamble of the autonomy act of August 70, 1916, in which appears the statement : '"That it always has been the purpose of the people of the United States to withdraw their sovereignty over the Philippine Islands and to recognize their independence as soon as a stable gov ernment can be established there"
 Justice Hoehling declared there was no specific legislation by congress as to the naturalization of native-born Ell ipinos not having military or naval service, but drawing an analogy through the action of congress in providing for the naturalization of the Porto Ricans the court reported the conclusion that congress had in mind relief for the na- tive-born Filipino who might come here and take up his permanent residence. Case Important
 The court pointed out that the case is important as it involves the political status of many native-born Filipinos who have come to this country and es- tabl;shed their homes. Many of them have married or may marry citizens of the United States and if the Filipino husband is ineligible to citizenship se- rious question might arise concerning the political status of the wife.

STOCK LEADERS FINISH SESSION
 AT SEASON'S.TOP
Armistice Day Market Closes With Remarkable
 Show Of Strength
By EDWARD J. CONDLON .~. xw.- &~ A Awo-H 0ldl

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Armistice Day was celebrated on the stock exchange with one of the most vigorous bullish demonstrations seen since the rocket ing of prices began last Wednesday. Total sales, of stocks reached 2.471,oOO shares. with the number of stocks traded in breaking all previous records at 55O The market closed to one Of the most remarkable bursts of strength seen in recent years. United States Steei' American Can and several other 1ndus- trial leaders finished squarely at the highs of the session.
 Both the railroad and industrial stock averages reached new highs, the latter group averaging gains for the day Of 1% points, a truly remarkable showing. To enumerate the new highs on the move and for the year and Tor all time' would mean the naming of most of the active. stocks of the entire list, for the enthusiasm was contagious.
 Few Losses Shown
 A scattering of issues Jagged behind the procession and closed lower, but in the main these represented stocks Tn which special factors were at Work. A few stocks coming out of retirement showed net losses from the levels estab- lished in the more or less, distant past.
 While the grain markets were closed in Chicago, wheat finished shade
 
 slightly on a better trade outlook both in the United States and abroad, and coffee futures reacted after attaining new highs for the season.
 Of considerable importance to the min ing stocks were the firmer prices quoted in the metal market. Copper, lead and zinc were firmly quoted, while tin ap- pears firmly entrenched above o4 cents a pound. An advance of Ac pound was named by the American Brass com pany on brass and copper seamless tubes. Inquiry from the continent, es- pecially from Germany, Is putting new life in the metal markets.
 Loans Show Gains
 Due to the phenomenal markets seen since election day, brokers loans nave shown a sharp increase. The current total is estimated at $1, ,600, ,000, ,000, or an increase of some $125, ,000,0 900 since Oc- tober 2. The present total, which Is the largest of the year, consists chiefly of borrowings by brokers for trading re- ouirements. The peak of approximately two billion dollars touched in Febru- ary, 1923, still stands as the record, however.
 One very healthy sign of the inherent strength in the financial and economic situation taken as a whole, is the record building noted in reports from all sec tions of the country. According to Rradstreet's Journal, new construction, as indicated by permits applied for, reached S256, ,O73, 1902 in October as com pared with $21s, ,663, ,951 in September and with $255, ,8sO, ASA in October, 1923. The principal increase was in the south- west.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Alaska was pictured as land of opportunity in special report today to the h. terior Department from Alaskan rail road officials which declared conditions there are favorable for the colonization of 5O,OO0 farmers and their families.
 With that number of industrious farmers, said the report, Alaska in few years would prove large factor in supplying the United States and foreign markets with farm, dairy and meat products. It was pointed out that Alaska now has railroad service twelve months of the year and direct connec- tions to seaboard which is 1,50O miles nearer the Orient than other west coast cities whose products find a ready market in Japan and China.

RAIN IS RATED
 AS GREAT PLAY
Coming To Jefferson For Three Days Beginning
 Monday

An absorbingly interesting play IS Rain" which is to be presented at the Jefferson theater for 3 days beginning Monday Nov. IT, with matinee Wednesday. At least, so it is claimed by the New York reviewers, who united in heaping praises upon it. It IS now ovor two wears in New York. It is the joint work of John Colton and Ciemence Randolph, who dramatized It rom short story, written by W. Somerset Waugham. and which appeared under the title of Miss Thompson.
 The locale of the play is the Fort of Paeo Pago, on the Island Of Tutulia in Ithe South Seas,-one Of the very few of those juts in the Pacific Ocean' which is under the dominion of the limited States. There comes Sadle Thompson, refugee from the states, one who is evidently of the scarlet woman Tlass. and who, in order to escape nr;son sentence at San Francisco, has come to the island to ply her nefarious ce1l;no On the same ship arrives the Rev. Alfred Davidson, missionary, wno has answered call to So'S
 that remote spot on the earths sur face. Oyer-zealous is he and uncom- promising to degree.
 At one point in the play he speaks with bride of the fact that when he first came to the South seas, the na, lives had not known what sin was, and that it was his first duty to teach them. When he encounters the liam boyant Sadie, there is clash, and he threa items to have her deported and serve out her sentence at home. Then he decides that it would be well if she were converted before going, and the very fervor of his exaltations has it's effect upon the poor girl, who is soon brought to think that she sees the light. At this point an untold incident oc- CUTS, upsets all plans with the result that the Rev. Davidson is found dead on the beach the next morning, fallen by his own hand.
 Sam Harris, the producer, will pres ent the play here with every attention to detail, and by a company which ln- cludes Hilda Vaughn, Augusta Dungeon, Belle Sylvia, Edward F. Nannary, c. Norman Hammond, Hans Roberts, Kenneth Fox, Alex Hartford, Mary Angel, Emma Raff, Howard H. Gib- son and others.
