HEALTH SAVED
BY The LAUNDRY

If there is any time Of year the
average housewife breads, it is the
fall and winter when cold blasts blow
over the back yards, clothes hung
out to dry are Slated this way and
that and ones health is threatened by
the change from the hot steamy
kitchen to the cold air outside where
the clothes must be hung out.
It is here that the laundry comes
in. The Capitol Wet Wash laundry
through its years of operation IN Au-
gusta, has come to be regarded as
tn best friend a family can have.
So well is this institution conducted,
that clothes worries are just simply
banished from the landscape.
A telephone call to Adm Will
bring a Capital Wet Wash truck to
ones door, the clothes will be taken
away and in a surprisingly short
time, they will be brought back,
clean and as sweet smelling as newly
washed clothes always are.
ave can save you time and
money" says the Capitol Wet Wash
laundry. They prove it, too, because
their orders are constantly increas-
ing and the long list of satisfied Gus
toners is growing.

HEAT THE HOUSE
IN MODERN WAY

These are the days when new de-
vices for heating the home are COM
ing on the market. Among the really
good ones is the Heatrola. sold by
Wheeler Bros. Co. OF Gardiner. 1t is
heating device that has stood the
test, for it is different from all the
others and is especially adapted for
household use.
Heatrolas are made for the burning
Of any kind of coal-also wood. In
the soft type, an exclusive hot
blast attachment insures complete
combustion no waste through
smoke, gases, or half consumed fuel.
There is also another exclusive
Heatrola feature-the intensi-fire air
ducts which make the Heatrola far
more efficient than a basement fur
mace, experts say.
The Heatrola gan be installed in 45
minutes in any room where there is
flue connection. 1t requires no base
ment. In this respect alone, approx
mately $500 is saved in the cost OF
the building of a new $4,000 house.
The Heatrola is now used In tens OF
thousands Of homes in every state IN
the Union. 1t circulates heat-llke
furnace. 1t doesn't radiate heat as
stove does. An ample supply OF
warm, moist air flows gently to every
room in the houses, upstairs ano
: down. Every hour 5000 cubic feet
of air are drawn into Heatrola, heat
ed. moistened and steriliZed and SEM
/ out to maintain ane even temperature
| in every room.
So quickly and easily may Heat
| rola be installed in the home thai
many who have not before enjoyed
the comfort of a real, healthy heal
! are having them put in; Wheeler
Bros. will explain all the details and
as they, say, once the Heatrola has
! been tried, it will be kept right in ltS
place in the home, for it is sure e
cause the satisfaction which tnes
guarantee.

Colony Readying

Crahdall's new Colony Theater,
apartment, and store building is
rapidly nearing completion 1T
Georgia. Avenue and Farragut
Street Northwest. The apartment
and store portions of the struc-
ture are under roof and ready
for the finishing touches. but the
theater will be bit of a laggard
by reason of the fact that certain
material has not been supplied as
promptly as promised. The new
neighborhood playhouse will have
a seating capacity of approx
mately 1900 on one floor and
will be one of the handsomest
residential houses in the Capital.
The Colony building will be the
second in Washington housing a
theater to employ an oil heater
for stores, apartments and thea
ter. A Ballard oil heater has
been installed and will serve as
the source OF warmth for every
one in the building. The only
other theater in Washington
using the oil heater is the Earle,
also a Stanley house.

upon the state OF ones hopes
whether Lorraine of the Lions"

mere heap OF worthless ashes, for
such q picture is now on display
at the Rialto Theater this week.
Regardless of its personal appeal,
It Is an impossible, inartistic, SUI
per-melodramatic melange. OF bad
direction, unjustly starring Nor

The story, which must have
arisen in the too tired mind of a
psycho-analyst or been born from
the Nightmares of too much pie,
covers 20 years of endurance, the
first part of which deals with
Lorraine's Crusoeque arrival upon
a tropical island accompanied by
Bimi, her pet gorilla, trained
elephant and a cageful of circus
lions. Then, because a good

suaded to search for her. Success

she is rescued ''just in time to

nightmares should, but with the
happy lovers clasped in each 9TH

Welder girls are graceful and
have good voices. Other per-

Ing include Murray Iubit, Bob

Bert Walton has an original
number in two episodes, which
proved a laughing hit from start
to finish. Frank Dixon and com.
pany have still another comedy
offering. Mr.. Dixon is a good
comedian and his co-worlxers help
along In his amusing efforts.
Walsh, DAILY and Walsh won ap-
probation in pleasing mixture

and in some of its scenes, espe-
cially the concluding ones, it is
very moving. The emotional
passages have been handled deftly
and they are not dragged out to
utter, WEAKNESS as is the case

The story revolves about four
themes, the central figure in
each being an inventor, played
by Lewis Stone. There Is no
confusion, however, and the con-
tinuity is excellent.
A tremendous cast is provided,
Lewis Stone, Shirley Mason, Bar
