there as the guest of the Mexican Gov

who travels on a personally conducted
tour throueh the nice narts of the coun

"As a matter of fact, my mine Is
overrun with bandits. Wo tried hard to
keep it going, to supply bread to the
faithful men who had stood by us, but
It was no use. A Btnnll group of ban

"Present calamitous conditions in
Mexico and the destruction of n billion
dollars' worth of American investments
there are due to the Wilson adminis

put in force by William .1 llryau when
he was secretary of state.
"Why, when some of us who had been

DYERS RETURN TO WORK
Strikers Will Await Sanction of
President of Union
Members of the dyers and mcrcerizers'
union went back to work this morning,
pending the receipt of official sanction of
their strike from John Golden, president
of the International United Textile
Workers of America.
Arthur McDonnell, president of the
union in Philadelphia, says word will
be received from Mr. Golden within the
next twenty -four hours. The mer
cerizers and dyers voted Wednesday to
strike, when they were refused an in
crease of ten cents an hour. They are
now paid seventy-five cents an hour.
Ten mills granted the increase.
MIXES IT WITH STRANGER
Roomer Shows Dislike, for Bedfellow.
Both Lantf'ln Hospital
Just because Peter Garibaldi, forty
years old, 822 Now Btreet, objected to
the presence of, a strange bedfellow in
the person of William Johnson, twenty
four years old. 1122 Tarrisb street, both
men now face the opportunity of getting
better acquainted as they Ho in ad
toininir rota In the Jefferson Hospital.
Oaribaldt returncu to nts room at mo
New street house last night to find
Johnson in his bed. As no formal agree
ment had been made between the two
concerning this privilege, nu argument
ensued, which only camo to an end when
the polleo broke in on the party and ar
rested the two men. All the furniture
in tho room had been wrecked and both
men were badly cut up, Johnson using
a penknife for a weapon, it is alleged,
while Garibaldi depended on a pair of
scissors.
When they recover, some time in the
near future, both men will have an op
portunity to explain the matter to a
magistrate at the Fourth and llace
streets station.

The Neighborhood Movie
In the movie world out and out "educational"
film is apparently not popular.
People do not seem to hanker after being edu
cated. However, the next time you go to your favorite
theatre, look over the audience and then observe
the settings' of the film's with respect to cultural
environment.
It may be the hunt breakfast in an English
castle, the villain on the palatial yacht, the
luxury of my lady'3 boudoir or the opulence in a
gambling casino.
Period furniture, butlers, Roman baths, moon
lit terraces at Monte Carlo with the silks, jewels
and purple of luxury contrasted with the inevitable
sterling honesty of homespun and sunbonnets.
Contrasts educate. And no matter how uncon
scious they may be of the process, millions are see
ing each night glimpses of a world of which they
had never dreamed.
The result of this "education" helps to make
the silk stockings of yesterday for the few, the
necessity of tomorrow for the many.
Observant manufacturers realize the profound
change being wrought by every neighborhood
theatre throughout the nation.
And women are more responsive to suggestion
than men.

Hear these famous Victor artists!
Extraordinary interest attaches to the recitals of these great
artists because of the double opportunity they afford the music
loving public.
It is a privilege in itself to hear these famous artists, and
added importance is given to the events in that they enable
you to compare their exquisite interpretations with their Victor
Records.
Attend the concerts of these artists and note the individual
qualities that distinguish their renditions. Then go to any Victor
dealer's and hear the Victor Records by the same artists. Note
how faithfully their interpretations are portrayed on the Victrola.
It is because of this absolute fidelity that these artists make
Victot Records; that the greatest artists of all the world are
Victor artists.
Victrolas in great variety of styles from $25 to $1500. New
Victor Records demonstrated at all dealers on the 1st of each
month.
