Joe Cook Stars in Circus Life Comedy Showing
 at Capitol Tonight

It is a well known psychological fact that men of rare mental capa- bilities often, turn to unusual ex- tremes in moments of relaxation. Just to cite a few. examples there are the following cases: eAais
 Woodrow Wilson and his fondness for the widest type of detective tales; the famous, mathematician Einsteina and his practice on the fiddle, and Sirs Oliver Lodge and Conan Doyle and their meddling mediums. 4.
 Joe Cook, famed comedian of Rain or Shine,' which has been made into a motion picture by Co., lumbia Pictures with the star in his original role, which will be shown tonight at the Capitol the ater, is a keen student of psychol- ogy as applied to audience reactions. His funniest and greatest laugh provoking antics are not the mere haphazard drolleries they appear to be, but carefully planned schemes to ensnare the elusive but desir- able laugh. S .3ni -sya
 One Man Orchestra 4
 Out of Joe Cooks portfolio of famous gags" there are. several that stand out and each one has a different foundation. His famous explanation of Why I Can't Imi- tate Four Hawaiians" has but lately been elaborated by him and pulp lished in book form. His master piece, however is the remarkable complicated contraption which he describes as the 1880 Model Fuller i Construction Company One-Man Recording Orchestra" He uses this as climax for his one man cir GUS in the film version of Rain or Shine.

PATENTED PROCESS
FOR ROASTING
COFFEE EXPLAINED
Hills Bros. Roast Their Coffee
Evenly, Continuously ;.
"a Little at a Time"

The ordinary way of roasting
coffee is in big drums that contain
several hundred pounds. This has
disadvantages. for it is not possible
to roast each batch alike. One may
be underdone - another overdone.
As result, you do not always get
the best flavor - frequently, you
get different favors.
Hills Bros patented, Controlled
Roasting process overcomes these
things! As the accuracy of the
hour-glass depends upon an even,
continuous flow little at a
time so the uniform flavor of
Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by
this patented process that roasts
evenly, continuously :. little at q
time. Automatically controlled heat
gives every berry an even, perfect
roast. The finest favor results. It
is a flavor no other coffee has s.
for no other coffee is roasted this
way.
Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in
Vacuum cans that keep it ever
fresh. Air, which destroys the flavor
of coffee, is removed and kept out
of these cans. Ordinary, "air-tight"
cans won't keep coffee fresh. But
Hills Bros. Coffee can't go stale.
Order some today. Ask for it by
name, and look for the Arab trade
mark on the can.

HONGKONG, March 5.-Repatria-
ton of more than 100000 Chinese
laborerS from the Straits Settlements
has created an unemployment situation
in this city and Canton unparalleled
in modern times. There Is little between
them and starvation.
Thrown out of work by slumps in
tin and rubber on the Malay peninsula,
these JobleSs Chinese were deported to
their own country by the British au-
thorities at Singapore.
The Cantonese government provided
few gunboats and half dozen small
merchant steamers.
About 80 per cent of the deported
men on arrival here had only the few
dollars given them when they left
Singapore.
