UNLOADING “WAR-BABIES/’
Perhaps no one stock hits been more spectacular than Bethle-
i i on Steel, in the war stock gamble of the past six months.
It is presumed to be the bellwether of the “war-babies” and
e "war-bride." as the stock exchange brokers call them.
The war stocks are given one more bounce upwards by the
f rculation of the story that President Schwab of Bethlehem has
ibbscribed, for his company, for no less than $25,000,000 of the
Anglo-French war bonds.
On the very day that that story was being heralded by the
New York newspapers tickets told of two stockholders’ lists of
Bethlehem Steel which are on file and are of interest.
*' On^ist, of date April 10. showed that Mr. Schwab then owned
48,161 shares of Bethlehem preferred stock and 1001 of common.
The other list, of date September 27th, showed that while the
lambs of Wall street were frantically bidding up war stocks the
president of the company was unloading—for the September list
fthows that he then owned of record only 38,451 preferred and no
common at all. - : . »
•: 1 J Similarly Mr. Untermcyer, deep in the councils of the insiders,
Is shown by the stockholders’ lists to have reduced the 15,500
shares of Bethlehem preferred which he owned on April 10 to
8800 shares on September 27th.
This is only one example of how, after years of waiting, the
E blic has been coaxed back into Wall street and is exchanging
i perfectly good cash for—well for something that the insiders
are quite willing to exchange for said cash,
RESPECT FOR LAW.
,. Mayor Thompson of Chicago finds himself in a most embar
rassing and difficult situation.
The mayor announces his discovery that Chicago saloons
Jiave been keeping open on the Sabbath. And the mayor, advised
by his legal aides that the sale of liquor on Sunday is in viola
tion of the state law, has ordered the dramshops closed on that
j{ny.
J, Now the saloonkeepers threaten to force all business to sus
pend on Sunday, in compliance with the blue laws.
;■ Hundreds of the mayors in the United States have faced the
siame situation as has Thompson. But they have taken the law
into their own hands. They have held that the time worn blue
lAws are impossible of enforcement in this modern day.
j* Yet these same laws continue to burden the statutes of states
Everywhere.
All of which emphasizes again the fact that silly, antiquated
Jiws which are allowed to stand on our statutes without enforce-
{tnent and to rehabitate a respect for those which should be en
forced. t

Scene from "Itobin ood,” which comes to the Colonial theater next Friday evening.
“ROBIN nOOD.”
James Stevens, the leading bari
tone with the de Koven Opera com
pany, which will be seen here in
“Robin Hood” at he Colonial next
Friday evening, was surprised in
Seattle last season to find a stran
ger waiting for him at the stage
door. He was greeted with the re
mark, “I knew you were a hero in
real life and now I find you playing
one on the stage/’. The story fol
lows:
Stevens is the proud possessor of
a ranch near Medford, Oregon, on
which he spends his vacation*. One
day while prowling through the
woods, he w*s attracted, by a shot
and the scream of a mountain lion.
He hurried in the direction in time
to see the wounded beast about to
spring upon a hunter, who was vain
ly snapping his magazine rifle, evi
dently having neglected to load it to
its capacity. As the lion sprang
through the alf, Stevens brought him
down with p well-directed shot, there
by saving the hunter’s life. *
He proved to be a Mr. Ferris, oi
Sacramento, and left immediately
for his home. Stevens had not seen
him since, until he was found sing
ing Little John in “Robin Hood.”
“THE RED ROSE/’
One of the satisfactions gained
from the phenomenal success of John
C. Fisher’s musical hit, “The Red
Rose,” which comes to the Colonial
next Saturday, October 23, is that it
is in every sense an American pro
duction.
Each detail of its splendors was
outlined originally in this country
and the imported gowns pnd cos
tumes used were brought over only
in order to give local color to the
big scenes that are located in Paris
according to the demands of the
plot. Heretofore it has been neces
sary to draw upon the continental
field for really successful musical
comedies. “The Red Rose” reverses
this rule and singularly enough it is
the greatest success of the kind
ever known in New Yorw, and has
achieved even a greater success in
Boston, Philadelphia an$l Chicago., *

FRENCH HAVE TROUBLE
GETTING ENOUGH STEEL
Paris.—The French shell makers
have tad some difficulty in obtaining
the necessary quantities of steel suit
able for projectiles. The largest iron-
producing region in France is in Ger
man occupation and home production
has had to be supplemented by orders
abroad, chiefly in the United States.
Besides ordering steel in the United
States, the French shell manufactur
ers have also bought there most of
their hydraulic machines for shell
forging. Cost of the shells ordered
for France in America have been un
finished, the finishing of them being
committed to French industry with
the object of helping out the small
manufacturer who would otherwise be
idle and whose works are not equipped
for the production of the shell from
start to finish.

LABORERS PETITION
CITIES FOR BUREAUS
Liepsig.—‘In anticipation of the end
of the war, thirteen of the most im
portant branches of labor in Licpzig
have petitioned the city fathers to in
stall as a separate and distinct
branch of the municipal employment
bureau, a department specially for
returning soldidVs.
Store employes estimate that be
tween 300.000 and 400,000 of their
number will come back when peace is
declared. The number of clerks is
expected to be correspondingly large,
and the number of technical workers
is also very great. The figures re
fer to entire Germany.
The Leipzigers believe that the work
of finding places for Leipzig’s share
of the returning throng , must be be
gun now if there is not to be confu
sion and suffering for many seeking
work. The mercantile, technical and
office employers of the city are press
ing the matter especially, in the belief
that* their branches of labor are go
ing to be particularly hard pressed.
In their petition, however, they do not
hazard a guess as to when the re
turn will begin.
WILL MOLLIK MARRY JIM?-
“Why don’t you say a good word
for me to Mollic, Margie?”
“Because I don’t think she should
marry yoy.”
Jim turned red and then white.
“Will you kindly tell me Margie
Waverly, what you have against me?
You have always seemed to be a
splendid good friend.”
“I haven’t a thing in the world
against you; in fact, next to Dick 1
think I love you better than any
other man I know, but Jim you are
too old for Mollic. You arc fivfc
years older than Dick and I. v You

would make you happier than a
girl.”

It Is natural to rub the spot that
hurts when the slabbing pains are
causing agony, when Joints and mus
cles are sore and stilt; that is the time
when liniments and plasters are called
upon to relieve the distress. The fat-
lacy of such treatments and its danger
lies In the fact that it may aRonl tem
porary relief, it lulls the victim Into a
sense ot security, meanwhile the in-
stdlous poison 0( Uric Acid slowly, but
surely, la getting, a stronger grip upon
the entire system. Rheumatism Is one
of the most dangerous of blood dis
eases, for the reason that it trans
forms Its victims' life Into a period of
misery and suffering—a veritable liv
ing torment. If you suffer from Acute
Rheumatism, Sciatica, Lumbago, Mus
cular Rheumatism or this fateful trou
ble in any form, you know that theae
words are true. There la only one way
to get permanent relief from Rheuma
tism. Too much acid In the blood is
one cause, slomarh troubles. Indiges
tion, weak kidneys, constipation are
other causes; but from whatever
source the poisonous matter comes It
affects the blood, la carried through
■he entire system until musclee, ten-
dons, and I he vital organa themselves
are diseased. Furthermore, certain se
cret diseases cause forms ot Rheuma
tism. There Is no time like the pres
ent to free yourself from the suffering
caused by this dreadful malady. As a
positive relief for Rheumatic troubles,
8. 8. 8. has never been equalled. It
goes straight to the ‘seat ot trouble,
gently acts upon the blood, tones up
and re-vitalizes—literally inters out
from the life-giving stream all poison
ous acids and matter. When 8. 8. 8.
has restored the blood to its natural
condition Rheumatism, with all of. its
attendant suffering and pains, Is like
wise banished. You tre transformed
