know that it is the most sclentlhcally
built and effective organization ever
used as an economic weapon by Gne
tillers of the soil. Locals double
themselves every month and things
are done that give unbounded satls-
faction to the membership. When
the politicians saw the menace OF
this new secret organization Of the
tillers of the soil they took steps TO
checkmate it. The strong arm OF the
Prohibition Department was used Tor
the purpose of casting asperslons on
the official integrity of the farmers
elected representatives Agents OF
that notorious organization were
caught redhanded working IN con-
junction with old gang politicians IN
Sheridan County in an attempt TO
frame up officials here. When they
were arrested they retaliated by ming
a fake charge which was at once dis
missed by a u. S. Judge, and they
then sought an indictment which was
Indignantly refused. The widespread
circulation of the Producers News
and the publicity carried by it expos

the result that the peoples officials
emerged triumphant and the plotters
and their accomplices were covered
with ridicule and ignomy.

''Just Kiss. first annual
musical-dramatic production by
'aThe Troubadours Of George
Washington University, was offer
ed last night. at the university
gymnasium and the student body
turned out en- masse to cheer on
their worthy colleagues In this,
their first attempt at musicomedy.
The production contains several
melodic songs that really went
over and catchlines worthy OF a
professional tiiadem. All the
talent OF the producers seemed to
have been rtlassed for the third
act, however, from the striking
studio set to the clever lines and
pleasant little song bits. Delete
this, and not a great deal would
be left. As. a whole. Just a
Kiss shines in spots but does
not atone for some tagging
moments. especially In the first
act.
Larry Parker as the devoted
psuedo poet and lover OF a wait
ress carries successfully nearly
all the comedy OF the three acts,
dreaming in and stalking out
with gusto, fervency and tears.
His part has the production's
clever lines but he also makes
much Of them, poetizing through
the whole thing without a break.
Ellsworth TomplSins, as the col
lege student who goes into the
newspaper game. plays consistent
" and sings in an excellent
tenor. Ruth Hutchinson s woman
editor who runs answers to sob
letters and Ruth Newburn as
the waitress and gold digger do
well in their respective parts.
Annabe1l Lloyd. though extremely
ornamental, makes little OF much
mainly because of an insensibility
TO emotion.

her beautiful costuming of chorus

UUy O1OOA IA AAAo NNAAA0s Z
Several hundred people learned
the above intelligence in q
rather astonishing manner at
the City Club last night where,
as guests of the National Press
Club. an uncannily accurate
demonstration of the talking
motion picture was given, aus,
piced by the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company.
Three reels were shown, all
concerned with creation and de-
development of the telephone.
The synchronization Of voice to
action was remarkable; In other
words the screen characters
were as truly aligned In voice
and action as If they were ac-
tors on the stage.
The talking picture has been
inevitable. Last nights demon
stration can say that it is here,
slightly in the rough, as, for.
instance, the distracting reso-
nance Of the voices; but the
fundamentals seem to have been
overcome and progress now lies,
probably, in the details Of per-
lection.

Its citizens have remembered not
only to buy expensive gifts-some
say as much as ninety million dol
lars worth-but they have rcmem-

remembered to invite Aunt Sally

Tucker Offers Amendment to APP
preparation Bill Cutting Off Funds
for Evidence; Dry Law APP
preparations Garry

In the first record vote involving pro-
hibition and its enforcement taken in this
session OF the House on Decenbre p, the
drys triumphed by score of 130 to II.
They successfully defended all appro-
priations carried in the annual treasury
postoflice supply bill for prohibition en-
forcement for the next fiscal year The
first showdown came on a vote on an
amendment to prohibit employment of
fraud, deceit and falsehood' in the Use of
funds appropriated for the use of liquor
as evidence. The remainder of the en-
forcement funds, slightly more than APP
propriated last year, were approved with
out change or serious opposition as re-
ported by the appropriations committee.
Representative Tucker OF Virginia Of
fered the fraud amendment. He based
his arguments for it on the recent Hotel
MayfoWer incident in which dry agent
spent nearly thousand dollars to secure
evidence against the hotel upon which
charges of conspiracy were brought. Con
gresham Tucker described this affair as
"a disgrace" The story of the Hotel
Mayhower incident may be found in an
other column Of this issue.
Vets Voted With Drys
A number of members who have been
opposed to prohibition opposed the
amendment, among them Congressman
Madden of the appropriations committee.
Mr.. Madden contended that the manly
thing" for opponents of prohibition to do
is to seek the repeal Of the law, whereas
eff you adopt the Tucker amendment
you won't have to repeal it, you will just
make it uncomfortable. -
In addition to the $250,000 item for
purchase of evidence, appropriations i'll

c1udcd $24213,000 for the coast guard; an
increase Of $3.6!5,00O over current funds
to provide for the addition OF 1870 men to
the enlisted personnel and to maintain
the present fleet engaged in operations
against liquor smugglers; direct appro-
priation of $9,306000 for treasury and
$4,000 for prohibition posters.
