METROPOLITAN - Harold Lloyd In
"WeIcOme Danger"


Harold Lloyd's first talking picture,
one of the funniest, most exciting COM
edies he has ever made, will be seen at
the Metropolitan Theater this week. It
is called Welcome Danger" and is a
side-splitting story Of girls, gangsters
and gunplay.
Washington film fans will discover
for the first time that Harold has a
good voice and knows how to use it eff
fectively The dialogue and sound are
said to enhance to marked degree his
ability for pantomimic expression.
Welcome Danger" concerns Boston
youth. trained in botany, whose unin-
territorial heroism wins him a place as
successor to his late father as chief OF
police in San Francisco. En- route u
the West Coast he runs into hair-rais-
ing experiences and also into romance
But, once on the coast, intrusted with
the job of vanquishing the Orienta
gangsters and their American confreres
the action reaches fever heat and COM
pllcations fairly tumble over themselves
in mad, merry rush toward the eli
max.
Lloyd is supported by capable cast
including Barbara Kent, Noah Young
Charles Middleton and William Walling
The comedy will be supplemented b!
o selected number Of Shorter features.

THOUSANDS CANNOT
TAKE ASPIRIN

The discovery a few years ago of
a pain relief which exhaustive tests
by thousands of physicians, dentists
and nurses proved it to be truly
wonderful, was indeed a great bles-
sing to sufferers of headaches, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, neuritis, period
pains. During the great flu epidem-
ic it was conclusively found thous-
ands could not take aspirin, acstan-
lid or compounds containing these.
The remarkable new discovery
called A-Vol does not contain aspir-
in, acetanilid or any heart depres-
SAINTS. 1t is absolutely harmless to
young or old. 1t stops pain in five
minutes and instead of leaving you
feeling loggy, it actually peps you
up.
If you have severe headache,
pains of any kind, you owe It to
yourself to try this remarkable new
scientific discovery. A tube of IL
tablets at your druggists costs but
a few cents. Just ask for A-Vol-
you will be delighted.

455 on estimated county re-
ceipts. Changes in plan OF dis
bursement of certain state
funds will cause us to receive
S4,382.OO less from that source
than the budget estimates.
Therefore, we are $1,837.OO
short on estimated receipts.
Troubles come as trlplets
this year, it seems. A largein-
crease in enrolment caused
the addition of about eight eX-
ira teachers this year. Most
of the teachers did professional
work, earned higher certifi-
Gates, during the summer,
which work merited salary in
creases. So the monthly pay
roll is about $1,000 higher than
the original estimate. On an
eight month average term, that
means $4,000. With nearly 3d.
900 less receipts, and $4,000 ad-
ded salaries, we have $4,000
estimated income short, on
,nese two items. !.
In the third place, the Haysi
and Breeding buildings and nee
essary Equipment cost about
$4,000, or $4,000 more than
the Literary loan and levy pro-
duced. The $4,000 low bid on
Haysi was about $4,000 under
the next bid, while extras and
urgent accessories will bring
the cost to about $4,000. Even
so, the building is only large
enough for the present, but it
can be easily added to when
funds are available. Your board
asked that we try to make out
with the funds allocated, but
you see where we are with the
best of economy possible.
We, therefore, have about
$4,000 less than estimated for
teaching, even if we rnu only
seven months and standardize
the usual number of schools.
The monthly payroll is $12,-
TAO for a 20-day month. Seven
months for all schools will cost
$89,180. Two extra months for
the schools offering high school
work will cost $10,150. Two
months extra for some thirty
five other standard schools will
cost approximately $4,000. We
need, therefore, about 100000

TORONTO, October 10.-William T.

States, in speech last night, asserted
that the Hoover Macdonald naval re-

that since a disturbance in queens
Park last Summer police had prevented
so-called communistic open-air meet

developing because of competition be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States in world markets. It is necessary
for the capitalists to still objections of
the masses against war. They set afloat
capitalistic peace maneuvers, the KEEL
logg pact and the peace conferences.
But the preparation for war goes on
just the same. The American Fedora
ton of Labor will prove to be tool in
developing this war situation. It fol-
lows the program of imperialism"

instructed them to color their stories
in his behalf.
Justice Fugitive Charged.
w. C. Hale, prosecution witness, who
was on the stand yesterday, will be
recalled in an effort by defense attor-
neyS TO impeach his testimony on the
ground that he is fugitive from justice
Defense Attorney w. I. Gilbert charged
that the witness is under indictment IN
Texas on 10 felony counts, and that his
testimony for the State was influenced
by that fact. Gilbert also charged
that Hale had been arrested in Los
Angeles County as felony suspect.
The defense will recall the witness for
questioning on the Texas charge.
Testimony of Jay Sheridan, San
Diego resort keeper, provided one of
the most hectic days of the trial. Sheri-
dan, a surprise witness, said Pantages
had approached him with a proposition
to secure two women and a man, in
addition to himself to give testimony
directed at the character of Miss
Pringle.
He said that on September % he
met Pantages by appointment in a law
Office in San Diego.
II was asked If would be willing
to testify that was in the little room

would do all I possibly could to help
him.
was the story which Pantages asked
you to testify to true or false?"
False"
Under cross-examination by Defense
Attorney Jerry Geisler the witness ad-
mitted that he made the first appoint
ment with Pantages over the telephone
from San Diego and told the theater
man he had something important to tell
him.
Didn't you tell him over the tele-
phone that you knew Eunice Pringle,
had met her in Tijuana?" asked Geisler.
mo, I told him knew 'Skidds'
fringe, repIleo the witness.
Knew Wrong Woman.
"And you told him 'Skidds' Pringle
was Eunice Pringle and she'd stayed
at your apartment all night and you
had witnesses to prove it?"
Yes"
Sheridan then testified that he
brought to Los Angeles with him from
Tijuana. Mexico, two women and a
man to be used as witnesses, and that |
Pantages had given him money on |
several occasions to keep witnesses In |

The State still has II witnesses to |

20 witnesses, it became known today, |
