NEW CAPITOL FILM ISC0NTlNENThL
 MYSTERY
Lone Wolf in Paris Stars FranCis Lederer and
 Frances Drake

Having been absent from the screen since his appearance in The Lone Wolf Returns" over a year ago, the famous gentleman crook of Louis Joseph Vance's stories is probably just as happy to return to his smooth thieving as film fans are to be able to watch him in action. His newest tilt with the law takes place in Columbias The Lone Wolf in Paris" due tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 This time the Lone Wolf is DOT trayed by Frances Lederer. wh o seems to be an unusually wise choice because of his genuine con- tinental manner. The Lone Wolf, as you know, is, fictionaly, the most re- nowned burglar in Europe. Co-star- red with Lederer is Frances Drake, who is seen as the troubled princess of a tiny kingdom.
 When the story opens, the Lone Wolf is registering at a fashionable Paris hotel and promising the hotel manager that he is going straight {; his light-fingered days are over. Then the Princess Thania of Ar Vonne hides in his room while escap- ing from a marquis whose suite she just attempted to rifle. It seems that the marquis and two other nobles possess three of the crown jewels of the princess kingdom, which were sold to the nobles by the princess mother, the queen regent, when the country was i'll dire need. Now the nobles refuse to sell back the gems planning to start a revolution at the impending coronation of the prin- cess brother by disclosing to the peasants that the real jewels are not in the crown.
 Fascinated by the princess and the unusual situation, the Lone Wolf once more sallies forth as a gentleman crook, intent on stealing the jewels from the conspiring nobles.

It is about time to speak kind word for the mop, that Cinderella of household uten- sils. whose family history reaches back farther than the scrub-Women of King Solo, mons Temple The mop is an ancient and honorable symbol of cleanliness at any price With it's modern companions of the cleaning closet, 1t stands for social progress and enlan- cipation from household drudgery.
 How many women give due credit to that wonderful invention, the dustless mop? With few Hicks of your wrist, the fluffy contraption fits about on your waxed floor restoring shiny cleanliness between the time the doorbell rings and the unexpected com pany walks in. The man who first made and advertised this boon to housekeepers de- serves a medal for distinguished service.
 One of the best things about the mop is the company it keeps. Its close companion, the vacuum cleaner, saves hours and hours of hard labor every week in the year. In place of ten million housewives beating rugs in the back yard, ten thousand workmen are now busy in factories, making vacuum cleaners for them and earning wages for themselves and their families.
 Another highly useful member of the household clan of cleaners is the washing machine Although taken pretty much for granted nowadays, the power washer has saved wear and tear on more millions of feminine backs, fingers, and tempers than has almost anything else you can think of.
 Neither the vacuum cleaner nor the power washing machine would ever have become common household appliance if these articles

had not been advertised Women would not have known about their advantages. The first washing machines did not spread very fast throughout the country, because they were not advertised much, and they were not improved rapidly, either.
 But when advertising got on the job, then housewives really became washing machine conscious and they certainly did buy them. Manufacturers sold more washers and could afford to put more money into the work Of designing improvements. In this way adver- Using gave jobs to inventors, with the result that today's washing machine is as modern as new eight-cylinder automobile, and 1t is streamlined too.
 National advertising is absolutely the only way new inventions can be popuarized quick ly and at relatively small expense for each unit The cost of advertising vacuum sweep CTS and washing machines is only about 3 per cent of the price of each article, which is extremely small compared with the amount of other costs saved through the use of ad- vertising. The total selling expense would be much higher if these articles were not advertised, and consumers would have to pay more.
 This is also true of many other popular work-saving utensils Making homework easier is one of the regular jobs of advertis- ing, and the list of work-savers that it has in- troduced into the average American home it is that advertising pays for itself by being a very efficient salesman. Advertising actu- ally lowers the cost of many useful articles.

 Long Forgotten Article

Alaska fur control and Father Divine would appear to be as widely separated as the poles but Maud L. Watts of Deadwood South DaE- ota, is bringing them together to establish her peace of mind, accord ing 10 communication received today by the Alaska Game Commis- sion
 Heading her letter Peace and addressing it to the Dept. of Fur Trapping" Mrs. Watts writes:
 T have in my possession a marten fur which was sent tc me from AL aska, as a gift, sometime between the years 1920 and 1925 had no knowledge of this until received and immediately gave it no further con- cern Indefinitely now there comes to me something about this fur be- ing contraband.
 Tn the light or the teachings of Father Divine, whom I believe to be the spirit of God, again in the flesh, I have become conscious of having received this fur, and wish that you should know and do what ever is required to make this right When one becomes conscious of do- ing something which he believes to be wrong, even though there was no intention to defraud, he can gC through plenty of misery until it ie made right, and Confession is good for the Soul for you certainly feel load lifted

 Thank you to give this you1 consideration in Fathers mind and spirit"
 Game officials said any action which might have been taken in connection with the marten fur has long been outlawed by time, and they said they were putting Mrs Watts mind at rest by return mail
