prevailed.
Nat'H. Burrows, who. last June,
started the plans for the club, and
who has been one of the leading
contributors towards it's support, was
given a rising vote of thanks by
those present, topped off with three
rousing cheers. Mr.. Barrows said
that it was not to him that such a
vote of thanks should be extended
but to the men who had actually
raised the money. The club. now
that it has been put OH a firm finan-

Simple Application That
DiSSOlveS BldCkheadS

No more squeezing and pinching to
get rid of those unsightly blemishes,
blackheads.T There is one simple, safe
and sure way to get them out and that
is to dissolve them. Get about two
ounces of calonite powder from your
druggist-sprinkle a little on hot,
wet cloth-rub briskly over the black
heads for few seconds--wash the
parts and every blackhead will be
gone.
Pinching and squeezing out black
heads make large pores and you can
not get all of the blackheads out this
way-while this simple application OF

every particle of them and leaves the

gave California it's first taste Of the
popular eastern varieties.
A single variety, the Bartlett, gave
California four tifths of its pear
products.
The Kieffer pear originally was a
seeding of the Chinese sand pear
crossed, it is believed, with the Bart
lett, by Peter Kieffer. n Pennsylvania
nurseryman. and first exhibited at
the centennial exhibition in Phila-
delphia in 1876. After these early be-
ginnings a number of French varieties
have come into popularity.
A peculiar feat of the pear Is
that many varieties are not self fer
tile and require other trees near them
to produce fruit. Both the Bartlett
and kieffcr are in this class although
their self sterility varies in different
localities, in some of which a lone tree
of either variety will not produce or
produce very sparingly.
The Bartlett came - us from Eu-
rope where it, is known as the Bon
chretien. literally translated Good
Christian.

WHY HOTEL MANAGERS LEAVE
 HOME

Unhappy is the officially inspected city hotel manager The Washing ton state department of Labor and Industries sends an inspector around to collect a fee, see that the bed sheets are eight feet long, the fire escapes open and sanitary conditions prevail in the hotel. The state de- partment of Agriculture has an in- spector on the job to look after san itation and food, if any. The city goes through the hotel from top to bottom, a fire marshal inspecting for hazards; a health officer checking up for sanitary rule violations, res taurant sleuth going through the din- ing room, kitchen and bakeshops, a building inspector doing his bit and maybe the police taking a peek too.
 The department of labor and in- dustries is willing to forgo it's in- spection if the law is willing and is Investigating to ascertain whether it's inspector cannot be put to other work. The state hotel inspection law was originally passed at the re- quest of commercial travellers to i'm prove rural hotel conditions.

TRAPPERS AGAIN HIT.

The last legislature passed bill taxing furs and furbuyers, which prac- tically crippled the fur business, and now comes the proposal to tax resi- dent trappers s1 per annum, and alien or nonresident trappers $50. While it is a good thing to keep aliens out of the Territory's fur pockets, it places another dollar expense against local trappers, who are already taxed to the hilt by the government indirectly and the territory directly The fur business is as old as the hills, possi- bly starting soon after the weather be- came too cold for Eyes figleaf parka. up to the last few years the trapper has got by with little expense other than for outfit and supplies. Of late years legislators in the States and in Alaska have looked with covetous eyes on the fur business, and are load

THE AlRPLANE EMBROGLIO

Ever since the right honorable Jo sephus Daniels was taken from the piney woods of Georgia and boosted to the head of the Navy, civilians have controlled the affairs of the Army and Navy, to the exclusion of the men trained at Annapolis and West Point for this purpose. The latest instance of injustice to the Army personnel is the demoting of Brigadier General Mitchell for calling attention to the crippled condition of the airplane ser vice.
 General Mitchell in. number of ar ticles published in the Saturday Even ing Post has shown that the airplane service is so badly neglected that. it rates lower than that of nation like Italy or other fifth rate power He has pointed out the injustice perpe- trated by Congress and Secretaries of War in holding this valuable part of our National defense up to the ridi- cule of the rest of the world.
 For his enlightening articles the honorable Secretary of War has de. noted the General, who is second in command in the airplane service. In every instance where an opinion has been expressed army officers have de- clared that General Mitchell is right, and that every army officer indorses his remarks
 Instead of profting by this expert advice our political Secretary of War has fired the general and and placed man in his position who is satis- fled with conditions as they exist, and who will not seek to better them. lest he, too,, be fired This tends to pro- mote ideas and keep up the spirit of army officers.
 General Leonard Wood, one of the brightest minds in the United States Army, at the beginning of the war, was thus chastised by President Will son, who sent him to a lone post in the South, and placed General Per- shing in charge of the United States expeditionary forces. General Wood made the mistake of attempting to hasten the whipping of our army of defense into shape for the war Presi. dent Wilson declared we would not enter.
 Every time trained man attempts 10 improve conditions in the Army or Navy he gets into trouble with his civilian superiors. In our opinion, it was colossal mistake to place these military branches under civilian rule If Army and Navy officers are not bet ter judges of what is needed in their respective departments, why spend SC much in training them?

REASON FOR SIGNIFICANCE
 OF 1.-THE FIGHTING BLADE

Our own war for Independence, our revolution against King George III, of England, is undoubtedly the most significant period of our history. It marked the birth of our republic. A like period in English history is that which marked the birth of free dom, of representative { government for the British, the period in which '"The Fighting Blade," a First Ma tional picture, starring Richard Bar thelmess, which Liberty Theatre will present tonight. The picture is for that reason significant. Again, 'The Fighting Blade" is the only story of the Cromwellian era which has ever been filmed. Incidentally, the producers have taken no liberties in matters of detail and the student ot history will find no anachronisms in

ing it down with restrictions and ad-

ing it down with restrictions and ad- ditional taxes.
 Last year the closed season on bea- vers expired and many trappers left for the hills early in the fall, expect ing to reap a fur harvest, as these animals have multiplied rapidly the past few years. After they reached the trapping grounds and had started gathering fur, the law was suddenly changed, closing down on beavers, causing considerable loss and annoy ance to trappers who were far out in the hills and had no way of learning of the change until they came in with their furs.
 Trapping is precarious game at best, with little money to be made at the game. The man with trap line earns every dollar he gets, and more. His work is hard, in temperatures far below zero, and he has few comforts in the woods.
 If tax is to be put on furs or the trapper penalized, why not place the tax where it will not hurt the indus try? There should be some other way of increasing our revenues without go- ing after the man who makes only a few hundred dollars year out of the business, and who stands the losses occasioned by a bad season.

WHEN CHILDREN DISLIKE MILK

If your children find it hard to drink plain milk try these sugges- tions to help them to drink the nee essary quantity. A fancy name ap- piled to the milk drink sometimes helps.
 A drop or two of flavoring extract added to the milk often finds favor with a child, and if the liquid is wig orously beaten with an egg beater before it is served the bubbles on the top will suggest an attractive name like Vanilla Froth.
 Egg-nog is a favorite with many, a valuable one, and one easily to make by beating an egg slightly, add in little sugar and then two-thirds of a cup of milk gradually. The bev- craze should be strained before serv- ing
 Of course in naming the various drinks the thing to avoid is the word milk and the other members of the family should not emphasize the fact that the much disliked milk is be- ing drunk.
 Such a simple expedient as serv- ing milk in a colored glass will often work like a charm and fancy gob- let plus a taking name will often turn the despised milk drinking into a delightful adventure.

the production. The settings, the costuming, the furnishing, the man. ners and customs were reproduced only after the most thorough and diligent research had been under taken. Another reason for the sig nificance of the picture.
 Oliver Cromwell was leader of the Parliamentary Party which chated at their lack of voice in government Charles I. was king. He disdained the Parliamentarians and vested power in the Cavalier Party, as the lords, or royalists, were known. Cromwell led a revolution and, from 1642 through 1649, civil war was waged in England, ending with the execution of Charles I. Four years later Cromwell was made Lord Pro- tector of England. And he estab- lished the foundations for the pres ent popular government.
 "The Fighting Blade depicts one of the most dramatic episodes of the historic conflict, reciting the exploits and the romance of the valorous Kerstenbroock (played by Richard Barthelmess), a Flemish soldier of fortune who gained fame as the most deadly duelist in all Europe and who by circumstances was drawn to the peoples side in their fight for the right to govern themselves, and who paved the way for Cromwell's suc- cess. The picture unfolds story which, even without it's historic back ground would be a tremendously fascinating entertainment. In addition 1 to the star, the cast includes Dor othy Mackaill, Frederick Burton, Morgan Wallace, Lee Baker, Brady Barker, Stuart Sage, Allyn King and others-a sterling cast in an unusu- ally worthy and worldwide picture.
