The president of one of the
biggest banks in America re
cently remarked: “When we
find a customer cutting down
in his advertising we begin to
cut down on his credit.” Banks
are numbered among the biggest
advertisers these days and banks
know the necessity of advertis

Friday evening we show the
ninth episode of the'/‘Double
Cross,” one of the moat myatl
fylng and thrilling aerial* we
have ever obtained. Also a reel
of Paths News and a reel of com-
edy.
Saturday night we present a
Blue Ribbon feature, “The Man
Behind the Curtain.’’ What,
would you do if ypu were accus
ed of murdering the mother of
the man you jast married. With
the finger of guilt pointing direct
ly at her, this girl made matters
worse by leaving her home. How
she clears herself and wins back
the affection of the man she lov
es and leaves the guilty party to
suffer his own undoing, is told
forcefully, dramatically and viv
idly in the Big Four feature.
On Thursday night of ne> t
week the proceeds of the show
will go to the local Red Cross.
The admission price is 15 cents;
war tax 2 cents.

BEAUTY DOCTORS FELL OUT
Wat* Commission Was Callsd, ss No
suit, to Investigate Earnings of
Qirl Employees.
' That the prices paid for massages,
manicures, clay packs, marcel waves
and the other numerous first
feminine loveliness obtainable
beauty parlors and the wages paid
the young -women who administer
these helpful applications to ths
feminine face and farm are away
out of proportion is the contention
laid before the state minimum wage
commission, which came here from
Olympia to investigate, says the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Complaints assert ^nany of Seat-
tle’s beauty parlors are organized as
schools, in which young women are
taken as students or student appren-
tices, paid little or not any wages,
but allowed to gain their instruction
in the arts of making the old look
young and the young look beautiful
by practicing on the cash customers.
Some proprietors asked for an in-
vestigation because they say other
shops are not playing fair and that
apprentice conditions and wages in
the industry ought to be regulated.
The investigation will have nothing
to do with regulating the rates paid
by the femininity of Seattle for serv-
ices performed in preserving or in-
creasing pulchritude.

THE QOLDEN CALF.
It is related that while Heine and
the poet Soulie were once chatting
together in a Parisian draWing-room
there entered one of those Parisians
whom one usually compared to
Midas, but not alone on account of
-their-money. Ife-'wae- ooon-flurround-~
ed by a crowd that treated him with
the greatest deference.
“Look over there,” said Soulie to
Heine, “and see how the nineteenth
century is worshiping the Golden
Calf.”
Heine cast one glance at the ob-
ject of adoration and replied, as if
correcting his friend:
“Oh, he must be elder than that.”
THEIR FIRST PARTING.
The Bridegroom—Would you
mind if I went into a smoking com-
partment, dear?
The Bride—What! To smoke ?
The Bridegroom—Oh, dear, no! I
want to experience the agony of be-
ing away from you, so that the joy of
my return will be all the more in-
tensified.
