Smoking seems to cut the wind of everybody except the after-din- ncr speaker. Why not inaugurate the beautiful custom of having Q wet and dry de- bate in congress every spring in perpctuity?
 The senate may be the greatest deliberate body in the world, but a group of brick layers will run it a close second.
 "The great problem Is that of dis tribution." It seems especially acute in the case of those who are putting on surplus flesh.

ANITA STEWART ATLYCEUM

Anita Stewart, star of the silent drama, with Edmund Burns as her leading man, is being featured in the Lyceum attraction "The Lodge in the Wilderness" today. The companion picture is "The Love Thief" with Greta Nissen and Norman Kerry, while the bill is completed by the latest episode of the "Winking Idol" serial and news releases.
 "The Lodge in the Wilderness" is really a high type picture, taken from the noteworthy story by Sir Gilbert Parker and concerning the love of q young civil engineer for a young woman who owns a large timber tract. The fact that the manager of her estate also loves her but is less scrupulous, adds to the romantic plot. It is a whole some picture, with interesting scenes of real outdoor life. There is good forest fire scene and another of the

tended by the lectures and con- ferences to offset alleged propa- ganda among soldiers and sailors which the federation officials say is being conducted against the gov ernment's program.
 The labor organization announces that it will not permit the proposed economic boycott of the league in defense of religious liberty to cause any federation worker to lose his job.
 The statement says that the car rying out of such boycott would create a serious economic situation and call for the dismissal of many workers in many lines of business and industry. Therefore it has served notice that if the boycott is attempted, the federation will re- fuse to permit the dismissal of any federation man by any employer or any reduction in his wages.
 The statement does not explain the methods the federation will use to prevent dismissal or wage reduc- tions. but it Is interpreted as meaning that it will order strikes and force closing of any establish ments so offending.
 Uncertainty and speculation pre- yails every where as to how eXten- sively the boycott will develop. Dispatches from Tampico report that the theaters were virtually de- serted Sunday because the people were abandoning entertainments as a part of the boycott plan, all though the movement was not sup l posed to become effective until next Sunday.

"SPORTING LOVER"

Conway Tearle. that most popular of screen lovers, scores a palpable personal triumph in "The Sporting Lover" which was shown for the first time this afternoon at the New Palace.
 Tearle is a most gratifying actor at all times, and in "The Sporting Lover" he goes beyond himself. Barbara Bedford, who plays opposite him, shows stellar qualities in her delineation of a most difficult role. Miss Bedford has been appearing to better advantage in every new pie ture she makes. We predict that she will be elevated to stardom in a very short time. Tearle is seen in the role of Captain Torrance Con- naughton an Irish officer home from the front to check up on the castle and many mortgages that he inherit ed from his ancestors.
 A romance develops but is sudden ly halted when an air raid de- molisnes the hospital and separtes the lovers. After the war they are brought together again, with an army officer who had defrauded Connaughton having succeeded Con- naughton in the ladys affections.
 There are five new acts of select vaudeville. Vic and Peggy Binns open the bill with an entertaining bit in "Transcontinental Dance Travesty." Cliff Navarro and Co. the exclusive Columbia record star and of many Broadway successes, is very pleasing In his songs, steps and music. Going straight is a very snappy lively comedy skit while Mardo and Wynne in Bring 'Em Suit" gets a great number of laughs for their very witty turns. The Komatsu Trio are very entertaining in their sensational novelty stunts.
 Announcement is made by the management of the booking of Harry Iangdon in his famous comedy Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" and also the booking of the famous Ted Clare and his band the late stars of the Artists and Models shows for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

SOUTHWEST SEEKS
/ MARKET LOCATION
Wants Better Lighting and
Will Take Part in COMING
| Membership Drive.

Two moves We're made last night by
Southwest interests TO have the mar.
ket center go to that part Of the city
notwithSta nding the announcement OF
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission that it prefers the
lexington site.
The Southwest Business Mems
Association, under leadership of
George NJ. Yeatman, met early in the
evening and decided TO continue to
wage an aggressive campaign on the
market question. Later in the evening
the Southwest Citizens Association
presided over by Robert Strobel, con
vened In the Fairbrother School, and
promised to support the business
group in keeping up the fight for a
southwest location.
Seeks Better Lighting.
The citizens association also
launched a movement last night to
get better street lighting throughout
its territory.
I'VE want more electric lights on
our main thoroughfares," said Mr..
Strobel, and where we can not get
electric lights we want gas lamps of
higher power. Our committee on
street lights were instructed to push
this question with the District author
ities''
The association also decided to give
advice to the House subcommittee in.
Quiring into District affairs, particu-
larly by making reports on proposed
District legislation.
Will Back Membership Drive.
The city-wide membership drive of
the Federation Of Citizens Associa-
tions next month will receive the
earnest backing of the Southwest
group, Mr.. Strobel said, and plans
are under way for the holding of a
mass meeting in that part Of the city
TO arouse interest among those who
are not members of the organized
citizenship movement.
Mr.. Yeatman, discussing the mar
ket question, said the Southwest
merchants have been proffered the
support Of number Of business men
in the northwest section who believe
the market should be placed in the
vicinity of the water front The
Southwest groups. he said, are advo.

ment on the water front. There are
more than eight acres of cleared lanu

The Sleuth Yarn

Still, still they use the same old pat
tern, the folks who write detective
tales; a duchess or perchance slat-
tern Is slain and mystery prevails.
Who piled the AK or gun or bludgeon.
with which the murder was performed?
The cops are baff1ed and with dudgeon
the columns of the press are warmed.
The methods of the cops, defective,
don't seem to get them anywhere;
and then arrives the great detective
who draws clues from the throbbing
air. The trick is now to point suspi.
cion at every delegate in sight; you
first suspect the learned physician un.
til his alibi proves right. And then
it seems the tax collector had ample
chance to pull the crime; when he
fades out the parish rector looks like
the slayer for a time. The butler, gar.
dener and porter, the chauffeur and
the handy man. the housemaid and
the chaps who court her are each IN
turn beneath the ban. The dead
mans aunt is now suspected, she
figures largely in the will, and by the
long delay detected. she's in frame
of mind to kill. With each new sus.
pect we're persuaded that now, at
last, the truth grows clear, and ius'
tice, baffled long and faded, will find
worthwhile triumph near. There s
just one person in the story on whom
no dark suspicion lies. lovely dam.
sci with glory of auburn ringlets.
and blue eyes. And now the folks
are called together to hear the truth.
all raw and stark; the mighty sleuth
will tell us whether his skill has solved
this riddle dark. OF course it is the
lovely maiden to whom he points with
noble scorn. and she goes forth, with
handouts laden, the grisly gallows to
adorn.

ideals of NorwegianS while on a visit
to Norway last Summer.

ton per cent.
