In "The Lullaby

The wistfuI appeal of Jane Novak
once again holds her audiences en-
rartured in "The Lullaby" her lat
est starring production, which shows
tonight at the New Airdome.
Portraying three distinct charac-
ters in this picture, Miss Novak
achieves what is considered tri-
umph eclipsing even her own former
successes.
: As the joyful immigrant wife,
Felipa, in America on her honey
moon, upon whom life has as yet
left no trace of its countless tribu-
lations; later as Felipa, the mother,
a product of our heartrending civil
ization, and finally as Antoinette,
the beautiful daughter, raised : to
take her heritage of wealth and po-
sition for granted, in absolute Jig
norance of her humble origin, Miss
Novak demonstrates her. versa
tility as a portrayer of all the hu-
man emotions.

her sympathetic husband, appears

$3,OOO,OOO Will Be
Used Arrowhead
Springs Changes

OF all the remarkable develop
ments now under way in Southern
California none is more important
or interesting than the $3,000,000
development for Arrowhead Hot
Springs announcement of which
was made this week by Seth Mar
shall,, president of the Arrowhead
Hot Springs Company, which main.
tains offices in the Bank of Italy
building, Los Angeles.
Mr.. Marshall, recognizing the inn
portanee of developing shis pro-
perty along European lines, has
secured the exclusive services of
Prof. Charles G. Anthony, one of
the worlds greatest mineral water
authorities, who will manage the
springs development. Prof. An
thony has made an extensive study,
covering several years, of all the
famous European watering places as
consulting expert for the state of
New York, in connection with the
restoration of Saratoga Springs
which had ceased to flow. The Ar
rowhead development under Prof.
Anthony's direction, =. contemplates
the world S finest bath establish
ment, with facilities for every form
of bath as administered in the ia
nous European resorts.
1t is said that the proposed de-
velopment of Arrowhead Hot
Springs calling for an expenditure
of considerably in excess of $4,000
600 as it does, represents the largest
sum of money ever expended on
any watering place in the world.
"Sinee 1884, said Mr.. Anthony,
Arrowhead Hot Springs, combin-
ing in this one remarkable Califor-
mia property the hottest curative
springs known, radioactive waters,
famous cold springs, hot mineraliz-
ed mud, wonderful natural steam
caves and great scenic mountain
estate, have attracted thousands of

BEEF INDUSTRY IlSltSEVERELY HIT Y Y

is flat on his back there is only.
one way he can look; namely, up
ward. The cattle industry is cer-
tainly on it's back at the present
time. asl
Personally | am more hopeful
on the price of beef for the long
pull than am ON the price of some
other products. AS people become
more prosperous they eat more beef,
that is, the consumption of beef in
creases even where the population
remains constant. This is not so
in the ease of wheat, for instance.
A wellto-do family does not eat
any more wheat than a poor fami-
ly. and probably not IS much. On
the other hand, well-to-do family
does spend more on beef than n
poor family. OF course, the beef
industry has been severely hit by
the automobile.
Gasoline or Beef
Many people who have bought
automobiles during the past few
wears have found it necessary to
ecOnomize on something in order
to pay up their notes on the auto
mobiles and buy gasoline, oil, and
tires. One of the few things they
could economize on was beef. They
found it not essential to existence
and that they could get OH with
less meat than they formerly purchas
ed. However, as the county gets adj
iusted to each family having an
automobile the demand for beef will
again increase. People have always
eaten beef and always will. With
out doubt over, a long period of
years the per capita consumption
is bound to. increase. | am optim-
istie on the beef industry for the

"Why has not this decline i'll the

money now we would know that
they were benefitting in this de-
cline in the price of cattle. As
above stated, however, no one, is
making money and the price to the

must mean that there is some weak

1t may be that the railroads, oI

BABSON PARK, Mass, Sept. DO.
Since the receivership- of Wilson
and Company, the great packers Of
Chicago, Roger w. Babson has been
making a study of the packing
house situation with special iefer-
ente TO the cattle business. An
exclusive summary of his report
follows:
at has generally been known
that the cattle raisers of the coun-
trv have suffered severe losses
during the past few years, but few
reallze the extent 10 which the
business has been iquidated,' says
the statistician. briefly, the sit
uation is that before the war, i'll
1914, cattle were selling at around
5000 per hundred weight on the
hoof im Chicago. The price went
up to $17.30 In August 1919. By
December 1921 it had declined to
low of $6.40. The present price is
approximately $50 per hundred
weight. Live beef IS selling Ill
Chicago at about pre-war prices.
All costs in the industry mean
time are of course on the post
scale. Considering that there are
as many, or more, cattle in the
country today than ever before tins
means loss of hundreds of millions
of dollars, which has been absob-
ed all the way down the line from
the ranch men on the prairies of
the great west to the grocers who
sell the canned beef. Everyone con
nected with the industry has suf-
fered- almost continual losses since
August 1919. The result of this
has been that the country is dotted
with failures here and there start
ing with the farmers and the ranch
men and running through to the
great packers of. Chicago. Other
great industries, such as copper,
leather and oils are in the process
of liquidation and readjusrment;
but none Of them have suffered so
severely as has the cattle business.
"a Is Optimistic
..This very fact, however, makes
me optimistic rather than pessimis-
tic on the cattle industry at the
present time. The failure of Will
son and Company may be the storm
before the clearing. 1t is always
darkest just before dawn and. u
general cleaning up seems to be
inevitable before an industry again
begins ON the upward trend The
liquidation in the cattle industry
has been very drastic Farmers,
cattle men, and packers have taken
tremendous losses. Ranches in the
west which sold for 100000 ten
years ago can now be bought for
one-half or one third this sum. In
some states, like Wyoming, the
cattle industry is becoming almost
extinct. The ranch men are grad
ually closing out business and ship
ping their last cattle. These very
facts, however. lead me to believe
that the liquidation is about COM
piete and that conditions should

NEW VARIETIES OF BRUSHES ARE
ALWAYS BEING PUT ON MARKET,
DUSTLESS DUSTER RATTAN BEA TER

Early fall days send the house
wife to the cleaning closet to inspect
her stock Of first aids, After find
ing what the deficiencies are she
fares forth to shop for old reliables
and to inspect new offerings.
Not season passes without new
varieties of brushes being put on
the market. Among convenient
whisk brooms are the tall ones
with short handles. These are fine
for brushing draperies, freshly
]aundered blankets or sweaters to
bring up the wool and make them
like new. Short and wide brooms,
thin and pointed ones for uphol-
sfery and new fiber brushes twisted
and spared underwater on the
Florida coast, with vanished
handles are to be had, and they
are the very thing to take wrinkles
out of clothes that have been
packed away all summer! And the
long handled whisk brooms for the
fireplace and the crescent-shaped
whisk brooms for stair use are not
to be overlooked.

appreciated and used when the

Chinese rattan beaters are being
sent to us in rather improved
shapes. The last two seasons they
have been characterized by shorter
handles, more stoutiy made and
with the wider spatular shape at the
bottom, which effectly cleans
mattresses, small rugs, pillows and
draperies. The long, slim radiator
brush is invaluable and the under
thebathtub brush supplies an in
sistent need. For silver cleaning,
there are two types of brushes.
These silver brushes work well also
in cleaning bronzes and other bric-
a-brac that needs dry cleaning, as
well as cleaning with the fluids.
There are three scrubbing
brushes worthy of note. One is a
coarse splint brush for rough floors.
Another has soft fibers for finer
use, and the third comes with han

ter is triangular ins shape. There
are ,also, soft little scrubbing
brushes for fine cleaning and for
good scrubbing once in@a while.
A pointed paint brush may be
used to clean diamond -paned win
dow frames and it does shis work
well, as no cloth can get into the
corners of the panes. The old
fashioned witches brooms of soft
fiber comes now in two shapes,
the old round shape, reminding one
of that used by the woman who
went to sweep cobwebs from the
sky, and more slanting shape.
Both are popular for the old fash
ioned fireplace. A4
Most of the brushes are rather
and they should be well
cared for to prolong their useful
ness. The wool brushes wash beau

dipping them in "a pail of soapy

in clean, cold water. Shake off the
water and dry them hanging them
in the sunlight. Careful washing
does not soften bristles.
