Two Mystery Pictures Will
 Be at Capitol
The Mandarin Mystery and "Alibi for Murder
 Friday and Saturday

Two mystery pictures are coming to the Capitol Theatre for tonight and Saturday showings.
 The first production is The Man darin Mystery" a Republic release starring Eddie Quillan and Char lotte Henry, and a postage stamp plays an important function in this thrilling motion picture, adapted from a famous novel by Ellery Queen, The Chinese Orange Mys- tery"
 Mystery story addicts are about to be presented with a tale that promises to put their prowess at solving crimes to a real test. It is Columbia's new "Alibi for Murder the second feature with William Gargan and Marguerite Churchill in the leading roles. What appears to be the perfect crime is commit ted early in the film; all concerned seem to have airtight alibis.
 The application of simple logic, the films producers promise, will do much toward making it possible for audiences to detect the man. her in which the murder was com mitted the motive for the crime, and the guilty party All of which should aid materially in making "Alibi for Murder" a really divert ing picture.

sports, although she is not skier herself. Her idea of fun is bob sled rumbling down a safe, wide course.
 It is an established verity that a man getting around this town must pay between $40 and $50 year for the privilege of wearing hat.
 One cannot enter a theatre, a nightclub, or restaurant without ex- changing ones hat for a little red ticket. This of course means a 25- cent tip, and in time these quar- ters do mount up.
 However, the owners of the places themselves rarely pocket this larg- esse. They lease the hat-checking concessions for extraordinary sums, sometimes receiving as much as $3- GOO a month. There are several cor porationS which make a regular bus mess of buying up concessions, and establishing their own girls behind the counters.
 Another little racket in New York has no such highly organized system, yet it has flourished for years. This takes in motorists, and when you park your car on any of the side streets a bum shuffles up, opens the door and informs you that he will look after your car so that the street urchins will not steal the wheels or let the air out of the tires This, in simpler words, means, pay up, or else. A quarter usually will suffice, but if you ignore him you will probably regret it to the extent of several dollars worth of accessories. They steal motormeters, scratch paint, and even slash tires.
 
 A socially prominent young man who is usually about three months ahead of the fashion czars was seen the other evening with his hat as- kew. It was thought he was intro ducing a new fad, but few pointed questions revealed the fact that he was shielding a black eye. T got this for being such a doubting Thomas" he explained :. And how was that? :. Very simple he went on. Just as I arrived on the eighth green someone yelled Fore and I didn't believe him. Silly of me, what?"

JAY WALKING
 BATTLE IS ON

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept 24.- Jay walking was a mooted question before jury in Superior Court Judge Ingall w. Bells court.
 The point involved was whether Mrs Magic Wade, wife of a Glen dale police officer, was jay walking when run down by machine dliven by William E. Hodges, a realty operator, while crossing the street in Glendale on the evening of May 15, 1886.
 There were witnesses in court in her behalf to say that though she crossed the street in the middle of the block she was using great care.
 As for these witnesses, there was Ethel May Scholber, who is only eighteen months old She sat in court on the knee of her father Robert Scholber, and gurgled some thing to Mrs. Wade, and her Peggy Wade, which prob ably meant she wasn't old enough to know what jay walking meant So she was out.
 But Miss Wade and Scholber were in the running.
 Mrs Wade sued Hodges for $20,- 900 damages, alleging that she suf- fered two broken legs when struck by the automobile.
 Hodges contends that the acci- dent was due to negligence of Mrs. Wade. Decision is being reserved

NEW SMAL[-[OAN
BILL INTRODUCED
PaImisano Measure De-
signed to Put Teeth in
Present Law.

A new small loan bill designed to
put teeth" into existing law was in
troduced today by Chairman Palmi-
sano OF the House District Committee.
The measure was referred to his COM
mittee for consideration.
The proposed legislation was drafted
by the Commissioners as a substitute
for identical small loan bills intro
duced several months ago by Chair
man King of the Senate District Com
mittee and Representative Allen, DEM
ocrat, OF Delaware.
The Commissioners plan provides
for amending, rather than completely
overhauling. existing loan laws, and
fixes the maximum rate of interest
on all loans of 5000 or less at per
cent month. Interest on such loans
would be computed on the unpaid
principal and no deductions would
be allowed for Investigations, exam
nations and insurance.
Small loan operators also would be
licensed on an annual basis under
tho proposed plan.
The King and Allen bills would
allow a maximum interest of per
cent a month on small loans. Other
small loan legislation proposed in the
last five years provided an interest
rate ranging from l to 3l2 per cent
q month.
