SYNOPSIS i loyal. Mrs. Oglethorpe was ready
“ ■ ■
At « first. night performance in
\'tw York, « beautiful young I
wnwa/t attracts attention by rising i
«r/i<f leisurely surveying the audi
ence through her glasses. Clover- j
ihg, U newspaper columnist, and
Ils cousin, Dinwiddie, are particu- i
/c;ly interested, Dinwiddle declar
ing that the. is the image as Mary
Ogden, a belle of thirty years ag<>,
who had married a Count Zattiany
end lived abroad. He is convinced
that this is Mary's daughter, but
all efforts to establish her identity ;
prove futile. •
Clave ring, determined to find out j
who she is, follows her home from I
the theatre one night. Luck is j
with him, for she has forgotten her
keys and he helps her get into the
hoilse. She osks him in and finally
tells him she it the Countess Josef
Zattlany, a cousin of Mary Off
den’s; that she had married a rela
tive of Mary’s husband; that Mary
if ill in, a sanitarium in Vienna.
Claverfttg is skeptical.
Though maintaining a strict
aloof nes» from society, Mvdair.e
Zattiauy continues to attend all
the first-nights at the theatre.
Claierirtg meets here there a few
fghts later and engages in spirit
ed ■ tend friendly conversation;
theieby incurring the envy of the
rest of the audience.

The delayed curtain rose and the
bouse was silent. ITrst nighters,
unlike less dlstlnfcuisned audi
ences, never disgrace themselves
by whispering and chattering
while the actors are on the stage.
At the end ot this, the last act,
while the audience, now on their
feet, were widly applauding and
fairly howling for the author ot
"the first authentic success of th®
season,”• Claveriug and Madame

"Probably it made her feel her

“It is a terrible thing to say to

He expected her to rise in her

and said:

out. "I haven't an Idea why 1 us

“You mean when he assumed

Public Opinion Will Bring Dry
Law Enforcement, Says Pinchot
Pinchot Says He Will Use Every
’Power’ To Enforce Dry
Laws
By ERNEST L. LYMN.
‘•Th EST BADEN > Ind -, Oct. 22.
lhat the government with ths
people overwhelming behind it, is
powerless before a few thousand
lawbreakers is unthinkable,’’ said
Governor Gifford Pinchot of Penn
sylvania, in Washington recently,
placing prohibition enforcement di
rectly' at Jhe door of the White
House.
But are the people “overwhelm
ingly behind’’ prohibition? Or is
the fact that they are not, respon-!
sible lor the law’s failure—ad
mitted by Governor Pinchot—#
thus far?
Bank* on Opinion.
I put these questions up to Mr.
Pinchot, here for the governor’,
annual meeting, in this case pre
liminary to their conference with
President Coolidge relative to the
eighteenth amendment and other
interstate problems.
Yes, he said, he believes public
opinion is more and more outrag
ed and more and more determined
that the law shall be enforced. He
does not believe public opinion will
continue to contenance resis
tance of the law. K'e does believe
it will not always be difficult to
enforce the law.
Booze vs. Theft.
"Why,” ] asked, “is violation of
the liquor law, why is bootlegging
in short, harder to suppress, for
instance, than theft or counter
feiting?’’ ,
That was fiimple.
"Because’’ said the governor,
“violation of the liquor law has
been allowed to get a greater
start.”
“And why do some people con
sider themselves justified in break
ing the law and buying contraband
liquor? ”
That wasn’t so simple, even for
Pinchot—and he confesses he has
given some hard study to the whole
prohibition problem.
“Heaven knows!” he said. “Why
some people who claim to be re
spectable are willing to commit this
despicable crime is beyond my
comprehension.”
The governor blamed politics
for the eighteenth amendment’s
failure.
"How,” 1 asked, “does politics
clog up the enforcement of pro
hibition?”
“Primarily," he answered, "be
cause of the appointment of en
forcement officials not fit for their
work.”
“Step by step,” 1 queried, “how
would vr.* go about enforcing pro
hibition?"
He’s Silent Now.
But Pinchot does not intend to
answer that question yet.
"The only reply I care to make
at this time," he said, "is that ev
ery power of the govemor of Penn
sylvania is being used, and will con i
tinue to be used to enforce the
law.’’
Since his initial plea to President
Coolidge, Governor Pinchot has
been besieged for further state
ments on prohibition, but aside
from this interview and his re-

"No Defense”
"Will you have more to say?”
he has been asked.
"Well, I don’t intend to be per

governor. .
"I don’t want to say any thing,”
explained t ome, "that might be con

IF SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR
Just the moment you apply Mentho-
Sulphur to an itching, burnjng or
broken out skin, the itching stops and
healing begins, says a noted skin spe
cialist. This sulphur preparation, made
into a pleasant cold cream, gives such
a quick relief, even to fiery eczema,
that nothing has ever been -found to
take its place.
Because of its germ-destroying prop
erties, it quickly subdues the itching,
cools the irritation and heals the eczema
right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin
in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pim
ples or roughness.
You do not have to wait for improve
ment. It quickly shows. You can get
a little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur
at any drug store.
