bers. Why motion picture pro- ducers have not hit on this all- absorbing and fertile thought be- fore is a mystery, but certainly no more potent situations and no more powerful story could be conjured up than that which stars Pauline Fred erick, with splendid supporting cast composed of Greta Won Rue, Thomas Santchi, Carol Nye, Stan ton Heck. Boris Karloff and Charles McHugh. The picture, an adaptation by Doris Anderson of the original story written for Miss Frederick by Hyatt Daab and Weed Dickinson, will be seen for the first time locally on the screen of the Capitol theater when it begins three-day run at that popular house today. The companion feature of fers Douglas MacLean in his new comedy scream of lions and love, Hold That Lion," said to be a sure cure for the blues. The Capitol or chestra with W. S. Jeffs directing have a new musical program to of- fer.
 First Nationals mighty drama Men of Steel" comes to the Capitol on Sunday night for a four-day en- gagement. One year in the making, this titanic production has broken all records wherever it has played. Milton Sills is seen in his greatest role in this picture and Doris Ken yon heads the supporting cast.

Lif "Yellow Mask"
 ... Behold Beauty!

you brush your teeth for gleaming l whireness. Yet they hold that Yel- Jewish tinge. You despair. Can't you ever have gloriouslY white teetha
 Yes, quickly-thanks to science. For now the cause of that stubborn ugly discoloration can be removed,
 In your saliva is "liquid cement" known as Calculus. It glues to your teeth-then hardens. Becomes glassy mask. Ordinary dentifrices can't re- move it-you know that from your own experience. They gloss right over it.
 But this gassY mask is also an absorb- ent. It drinks in food, coffee and tobac- co stains. These give it yellowish hue. Then you have "yellow mask" Be- meath, though, unmarried, is beautiful white enamel.
 Your dentist uses substance known as "Tri-Calcium Phosphate" to erase this yellow mask" And now dental science, for the first time, has succeeded in embodying this magic substance in apleasant, tasty tooth paste -ORPHOS. That means white teeth for you-often in one application.

BERENGER RETURNING
French Ambassador to United States Plans to Return to Wash ington Shortly.

Paris, Oct. 2S Pl-Victor H. Ser enger, ambassador to the United States, is to return to Washington at an early date.
 This decision was arrived at after the ambassador has had a long dis cussion on all aspects of the Franco American debt situation with For eign Minister Briand and other members of the cabinet, who con- cured on the advisability of M. Berenger's returning. it being vir- tually certain now that the question of ratification of the Franco -Ameri- can debt agreement will not come up in parliament before February.
 It is inferred that NJ. Berenger's object in going back to Washington is to explain fully 10 the authorities there the grave difficulties in inc way of ratifying the debt settlement pact as 1t stands, and to try and find some compromise which will satisfy the desire of the French for safeguards so as to facilitate pas sage of the ratifying bill by parlia- ment. The safeguards desired have to do with Frances payments to the United States if Germany should fail to meet her reparation obligations.

South America Feeling
 Effect of Coal Strike

Rio Janeiro, Oct. 2S R-The strike of the British coal miners has brought about a shortage in coal here and has made the transport crisis more serious. It is stated in reliable quarters that the Brazilian government has decided to discon- tinue purchasing coal on credit basis in the American market and will pay spot cash.
 The government railway lines radiating to Sac Paulo and Central Brazil are crippled by cut of 54 per cent in their regular consump- ton of coal and the government is asking for bids for firewood for the locomotives. Small supplies of wood are coming in, but they are not suf- ficient.

NEW YORK, April 30.--Signing of

was followed today by a sharp up
ward movement in French dollar
bonds. The strength which had de-
veloped in these issues in the last

shadowed the action at Washington,

ward trend at the start today was not
unexpected.

+, IN STOCK MARKET
Further Advances Made, But
Many Shares Decline.
Rails Inactive.
BY STUART p. WEST.


NEW YORK, April 30.-The stock
market rallied somewhat late today
after period of weakness.
The comeback was most pronounced
In the seasoned dividend paying rail
reads, but there was some short Gov.
erins in the American Woolen stocks
and in Marine preferred, which. how
ever, still left these issues with losses
on the day. Western Union was
prominent on the buying side in the
last half hour.
The conclusion. therefore. was that
the market still lay entirely in pro-
fessional hands. Stocks which went
up did so not for reasons connected
with the general business situation,
hut because of special considerations.
Prliminary estimates on oil com
panies' reports are favorabl and this
has been reflected in fair degree of
strength in the oil stocks. These
stocks for the most part were higher
today.
other stocks. like General Motors
and General Electric, have gone up
likewise for special reasons. But the
main point is that these individual
upward moves have failed to stimu

effect.
American Woolen stocks were very
weak for reasons which have long
,een known. Despite statements
made at various times that the tex
tile industry was on the mend the
rscts are that conditions in the trade
nave not improved. Wooden manufac-
rurers cannot get their prices up
sufficiently to Offset increased costs.

BALTIMORE, April 30.-Outlook
for the local fertilizer industry con-
tinues good, according to reports from
local plants.
Sales have been in greater volume
than last year. and In some cases
have exceeded those OF the last sew

clear idea as to just how well the
situation will look at the end of the

has retarded sales at many points.
There Is general feeling of opti-

and according to officials Of some Of
the Baltimore firms the situation is
more favorable than it has been for
