Keith. Adds Films

Prices

Probably no word coming from
the B. r. Keith Theater since
the opening of the doors after
it's construction by the late r. y.
Chase, has been as important as
, the announcement by Manager
Robbins that the policy of this
favorite home of vaudeville will
be changed beginning Sunday,
March %.
On this date the recently devel.
oped Keith Albee- Orpheum policy
will be inaugurated. This policy
mas been brought about by the
combining Of these three theatre
cal units. 1t makes it possible to
present to the public as in the
past artists OF the vaudeville
stage plus an offering of fine
motion picture features.
The new policy will not affect
the standard of Keith-Albee en-
tertainment as presented in the
past. In fact, this policy will
simply add to the present offer
ings the best features Of the
screen
In other words, the public will
be offered, beginning March rs,
the same big Keith vaudeville
show plus the pick Of motion pic
ture features.
There will be offered three
shows daily with four shows on
Saturdays and Sundays. These
performances will begin at 1870
q. m. and close at IL p. m.
A new schedule of prices Ia pre-.
sented to begin the new policy.
For evenings the prices will be

at so, 35 and rs cents.

pletion on the big Wurlitzer or

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

It Is wise move to look over your
investments from time to time and to
grade them. That is, analyze them for
their good, bad or Indifferent qualities
and act accordingly. Much money
would be saved annually if women
would sell securities of an undesirable
nature before crisis in the affairs Of
the companies involved was reached.
1t has been suggested that one prac-
tical test of security is "how much
would bank lend on 1t as collateral?"
One may be sure that the bank will
not lend more than 80 per cent or
Whereabouts of the Security's realizable
value.
IF the security is highly speculative
the bank may refuse it as collateral
altogether.
For quick rating of any security
look it up in Moody's Manual. This
work is a standard one, and is avail
able for reference at most banks and
at some libraries. 1t rates securities
fair, sound but not highest grade and
highest grade. The latter two grades
are desirable. A fourth class is rated
speculative, and needless to say this
is warning sign to the woman in
weston.
All good securities are not necessarily
listed on exchanges, but 1t is undeni-
able that listing on an exchange facili-
tates the sale of a security when that
is required. 1t is also true that listing

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

October Is, 1861.-Several vessels are
at the navy yard this morning after
having run through gunf1re from the
Confederate batteries on the Virginia
side of the lower Potomac River. About
20 shots were fired at the tug Murray
and Pussy, but neither was struck nor
were any of the other vessels, all of
which made their way up the river to
Washington under cover of the dark
ness last night.
A great many vessels are reported to
be gathered at Smiths Point at the
mouth of the Potomac, waiting chance
to get up to this city. Among them is
the steamer Annie B. Hays, with 5000
bushels of potatoes for the Union troops
here. Other vessels are loaded with
coal and lumber.
It is reported that the new Confed-
crate battery at Timber Branch mc-1ts
four guns.
The Yankee has come up the river
with a large rif1ed shell on board. It
was fired from battery at Budds
Ferry, between Transport and Shipping
Point. 1t went through barn on the
Maryland shore and penetrated several
feet into bank of earth.
The latest reports received here today
say that the Confederates have evacu-
aCeO LeeSDurg. va, apparently taxing
the road leading to the nearest point
on the Manassas Railroad. It is well
known that Manassas junction contin-
ues to be their base in this quarter
They may be concentrating a heavy
force on the lower portion of the Ma
nassas line to meet Union force which
they expect to be landed in that vicin-
ity in an attempt to drive the Confed-
crates from their threatening batteries
along the Virginia shore of the lower
Potomac.
Gen. Beauregard has withdrawn all
Confederate camps from the vicinity of
Fairfax Court House and Vienna. He
and Gen. johnson may be getting ready
to meet an expected advance of the
big Union Army which Gen. Mcclellan
has been training in and near the Dis
trict of Columbia. The Union lines
have now been thrown out as far as
townsville and Minors Hill, Va.

Everyday Psychology

Free Will and Fate.
BY ROBERT CULLEN.

The human mind is at times as eva
nescent as bromo seltzer in a glass of
water. One wonders if instability
rather than stability isn't the rule; if
disorganization rather than organiza-
ton doesn't better describe the activi-
ties of thought and reflection.
Take the age-old dicta of free will
and fatalism. for example. The aver
age men-if there is such an animal
takes these to be settled propositions,
just as they did back in the days OF
Augustine. Deny them for a moment
and his mental processes begin to
evanesce and the sober ways of his
mind lose their balance.
1t is really amusing On the one
hand each man is "free-will agent
On the other hand he is subject to the
laws of fate. 1t is hard to believe that
two such absolutely opposite PROPOSE
tons could find lodgment in one and
the same human mind. But they do
and they SSick there, regardless of
their opposition. One moment a man
will boast of his will power; the next
he will say that things turn on acct
dent or are subjected to some pre-
established principle-fate.
There is only one explanation for the
human ability to entertain opposite, not
to say contrary, slogans. The one who
does it admits one slogan, distum or
rroverb at time. Reflection, if fol-
lowed according to the rules of logic
might, of course, introduce difficulties
And this, whether we admit it or not
is something to be avoided.
The old dicta which ,11Oct IF TIC r,0,.

IS fair sign that the security is a

AUTUMN
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

A good ornithologist could show you
a grackle, or probably a flock of
gackles. any time of year with a little
hunting around the District of Column
bia. I am not myself good orni-.
biologist in any technical sense of the
word. My enjoyment of the birds
themselves is as intense as my knowl-.
edge is superficial. So for me there are
just two times of year when grackles
are abundant enough to come under
my dull perception.
In Spring the cracked, wheedling song
of grackle is the promise of better
songs to be. One hardly listens to the
nonsense they talk, we'll knowing that
there will be some better worth hearing,
and that very shortly. 1t is in the
Autumn that 1 give ear to Maste e.

RESOLUTION

Adopted by the Cordova, Alaska, Chamber of Commerce at it's regu- lar meeting, December ', 1928.
 Whereas-The population of the Territory of Alaska, has steadily de- lined in numbers for the past Is years and is continuing so to de- cline; and,
 WI -ereas-with the decrease in population the material welfare of the inhabitants of the Territory has seen a corresponding decline and,
 Whereas-it is the belief of the Cordova, Alaska Chamber of Com merce that the loss of population is due in a great measure to the re- strictions placed on the disposal of oil lands, and placer ground thru Executive Order of November 3, 1910, by which all lands containing petroleum in the Territory of Alas ka were withdrawn from entry; the subsequent Act of February 25, 1920, (41 Stat 437). known as the miner al leasing Act; the Act of October }2O, 1914, (39 Stat TAD; the Act of March 4, 1921, (41 Stat. 1383); and the Act of March 8, 1922, (41 Stat. '415), by which last three named laws the coal lands of Alaska were placed under leasing system, and thru the Act of August 1, 1912, (37 Stat. 242), by which association placer claims were abolished and prospectors were limited in the amount of ground which could be staked each month; and
 Wreheas-the effect of the With drawal of the oil lands, and the passage of the leasing acts as to oil and coal lands, has been to drive capital out of the Territory of Alas ka for the reason that men and corporations desiring to develop such properties refuse to do so un- less title can be obtained; and
 Whereas-prospectors for placer ground have disappeared from the hills by reason of the Act of 1912, as there is not sufficient incentive Io warrant prospecting; and
 Whereas-it is the belief of the members of this Chamber of Com merce that the repeal of the laws above named, and of the laws and regulations amendatory thereto,
