, Today Ttvo Good Items. Peace Day—Hate Day. One Election Hint. Kinf; and Labor Man. By ARTHUR BRISBANE V_J The Standard Oil company re duces the price of gasoline. All grain prices are strong and going higher. Thoi* two pieces of news make the farmer feel better. Japan had a “peace day” yes terday, in protest against the United States “Defense day,” which Japanese call a “brutal demonstra tion.” The interesting fact is that our 'Defense day represented a day of peace, whereas the Japanese “peace day” represented a day of hatred. Japan, that will not allow the Chinese coolies to colonize her soil, feel for some mysterious reason that the Japanese have a God given, inborn, brown man’s right to colonize the United States. Everybody knows that the United States hasn’t the faintest idea of attacking Japan. And those that know anything know that the Japanese would be delighted to at tack the United States if they dared and if they thought the at tack would be a success. That’s the difference between our Defense day and their peace day. If you seek election clues, don’t lose sight of this one. “Al” Smith, governor of New York, apparently does not intend to run for another term. His friends want him to run, but Governor Smith knows New York politics, in which he was born and has lived his life. If he stays away from the nomination, you may be sure that a very good judge thinks New York state will not go democratic. Young Malcolm MacDonald, whose father rose by ability and courage from the ranks of labor to be prime minister of the British empire, is in the United States. Nobody pays any attention to him, nobody asks whether the brim of his Panama hat is turned up or down. What would we ask about the English, if we sent over some young American who never did anything but inherit money and they made idiots of themselves about him, while totally neglecting the son j of such a man as Edison. To the honor of Europeans and their common sense it should be said that, when Edison first went to England and France, he at tracted more attention, received greater honor than would be at tracted or received by our total col lection of millionaires if we shipped them over, Loeb and Leopold, with the ex citement over, will work in a jail factory and eat the simple food of the penitentiary. If those young men had worked more, and played less, some time ago, they would not be working in prison now. Out side food will no longer be sent to them. And while it is impossible to say how much “special consider ation" their money can buy from the jailors, it is certain that their discipline and work will be real. This will interest 5,000,000 Americans who don't care 2 cents worth about Einstein’s theory. Ouimet, crack American golfer, laid his ball on the green ^iear the hole. Hezlet, hard-playing for eigner, made a wonderful shot from the rough, “laying Ouimet a dead stymie.” The foreign ball lay exactly between Ouimet’s ball and the hole. Ouimet took a spade mashie, and with a little short chop under his ball, hopped it over the foreign ball and into the cup. That will be read and discussed more than the 2,700 books thus far written on the Einstein theory of relativity. That’s the number, ac cording to Prof. Lewt of Louvain university, and they don’t include magazine and newspaper articles. However, Einstein, with his theory doesn’t hold the book rec ord. Brandes tells you that Shakespeare’s imaginary hero, Hamlet, has had written about him more books than have ever been written about all the real men that ever lived in Denmark, from the days of the old sagas to the days of the modern diaries. Great Britain will “use the Brit ish fleet to enforce peace.” Brit ishers “less docile than Ameri cans,” as Northcliffe said, would not allow themselves to be con scripted in any way to help an other nation. But England would use her fleet in blockading, or oth erwise, to punish any nation will fully attacking one of her friends. That idea becomes less im portant as time passes. The question is, who would protect the blockading British fleet from sky attack? Fighting airmen, flying 300 miles an hour, dropping high explosive bombs and poison gas bombs would soon send the British fleet to the bottom. Even in the last war, with flying machines and submarines just starting, England and Germany kept their fleets care fully locked up. The Germans are good-natured. They pay the former kaiser $12, 500 in real money every month, while the German republic refers to the courts Hohenzollem's claim to (Treat landed and mining estates that yield $1,425,000 a year. Other countries, including this, would cut that discussion short, under the cir cumstances. (Copyright, 1924.) HUMBOLDT STAGES ELECTRIC PARADE Humboldt. Neb., Sept. 14.—Friday, the third day of the fall festival and livestock and poultry fair, was the record day in attendance. Twenty five hundred automobiles were parked in different portions of the city. A large representative from Falls City was present, also the Falla City band and the company of state guard lo cated at Falls City. The parade of the day included all the entries of Wednesday and Thurs day. The committee having agreed to continue the entertainment over Saturday on account of the rain on Thursday afternoon and evening, all exhibits were left in place. A new feature in the Saturday parade was attempted. The floats and decorated care were electrically lighted. Hon John If. Morehead, was the speaker on Friday. 1,700 More Cars in Gage County Over Last Year Wymore, Neb., Sept. 14.—Auto lirenses issued in Gage county to date, according to the county treas urer's records, show 6,900 cars have been licensed thus far, an increase from 5,200 the first of this year, and it is estimated that the number by the end of the year will exeeerf the 7,000 mark. According to records at Marysville, Marshall county. Kansas, just south of Wymore, a total of 5,600 auto licenses have been Issued to date in that county, an increase from 5.300 at the first of the present year, end estimates place the number at 5,900 by the end of this year. --- ' On Omaha Screens __' Rialto—Thomas Meibhan in "T.ie Alaskan,” a story of the great out doors. Sun—Lois Wilson, the "Covered Wagon” gtri, in "Another Scandal, ’ a play for the mothers and fathers. Strainl—Gloria Swanson in "Her Love Story,” from the Mary Robei is Rinehart story, "Her Majesty—the Queen.” World — Herbert' Rawllnson In "Dark Stairways,” a mystery play. Empress—Leah Baird in "The Mi racle Makers." a story of the secret service and air patrol. Moon—Hoot Gibson in "Broadway or Bust.” a romance thnt stops tral fic on the great white way. At the Rialto. It may well he said that Thomas Meighan's latest picture, "The Alas J<an," showing this week at the Rialto theater, is a red blooded story, rich in drama and love. To those who like stories of the great out-of doors, this one will be of especial appeal. The plot has to do with the battle between forces seek ing to exploit the country and the sons of the men who went there a quarter of a century ago during the gold rush. This second generation are the true Alaskans, and the pfeture deals entirely with these sturdy men who have come into existence under the American flag. James Oliver Curwood, who wrote the story, took Alaska, where towns are horn over night, for the back ground of one of the greatest outdoor stories ever written. We have seen Thomas Melghan In most every kind of a role but this, and we will say that in spite of his past work, this Is his greatest pic ture. Mr. Melghan and his entire company traveled more than 4,000 miles for location, most of the film having been<aken in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, Can ada. Some of the scenes are remark able for their beauty. Howard K. Steberg and Harriet Clark Helgren offer a clever bit on the stage as an added extra feature. At the Sun. "Another Scandal”, the film offer ing at the Sun theater this week, is rather a daring piece of work—hut a highly enjoyable piece of entertain ment. When an attractive young widow finds that all her physical allurements fail to register on a certain husband, she stoops a bit to conquer. She tries to stage a familiar scene by which the wife may obtain a divorce. For a girl freshly arrived from Eng land, the young widow catches on to American institutions rapidly. How ever, the wife foils the scheme In rather a unique manner. Cosmo Hamilton is the author of "Another Scandal." Ixds Wilson who has the title role does some marvelous work as the wife. As for Flora Re Breton, as the young widow, she does sortie very in teresting acting. Holmes Herbert, in the male lead, also deserves much credit. At the Strand. It has been said that one-half of the world does not know how the other half lives. We are reminded of that truism when we saw Gloria Swanson In her latest picture, "Her Rove Story,” at the Strand theater this week. The average film fan— raised on fairy tales and bedtime stories, features the life of a princess one glorious round of pleasure. Eventually, site marries a prince and lives happily everafter, but—in Glor ia's new starring • vehicle she proves that a princess' life isn’t all that it's claimed to be. She shows us what happens to a princess who tries to marry a man of her choice. lie isn’t a prince but to the princess he is everything that is good and noble. She does marry him, without tho con sent of her father—and then the trouble begins—but we cannot spoil the story by giving any of the ab sorbing details as the plot unfolds. We will say, however, that you can’l help hut feel sorry for Gloria. Mary Roberts Rinehart is respon sible for the story which originally appeared in tho Cosmopolitan Maga zine under tho title of "Her Majesty, the Queen.” Miss Swanson looks ev ery Inch a queen and gives a vivid characterization. Ian Keith is excellent as the gal lant swordsman and the rest of the supporting cast are adequate In their respective roles. An extra added feature of the pro gram Is the Thompson-Belden Style Show. Many beautiful gowns, cloaks and furs are displayed on living mod els, as two clever youngsters sing some novel songs. At the Moon. A good cowboy gone wrong offers a tonic nf laughter In "Broadway or Bust,'’ Hoot Gibson’s latest starring picture, at the Moon this week. Hoot Is Introduced as a poverty and love stricken cowboy, "whose sweet heart jilts him because of an Inherit ance elevates her thoughts of ro mance to a field of more fashionably clothed strata. Later, when his own financial ship comes in, he is offered the opportunity of snubbing his for mer sweetheart in New York society. However, they patch up their quarrel before the final fadeout, but the path of their romance is strewn with laughs and a bit of adventure. Mr. Gibson, who was a real hard working cowboy before he came to the screen, permeates the film with his droll humor, creating the kind of atmosphere one likes. Ruth Dwyer, as the girl, is pretty and capable. The supporting cast includes Gertrude As tor and King Zany. SINGERS PLEASE ON WORLD BILL The Three American Aces, singers, roused enthusiasm in the new show at the World yesterday. Harry Tsuda, a subject of the Mikado, smiles while he does thrilling stunts of balancing. I.eMalre and Ralston are a queer looking pair with an Indifferent offer ing. Janis and Chaplow have good points in their comic olio and find favor with the audience. The Butterfly Kiddies aren't kid dish enough to be cute nor experienc ed enough to be clever. They sing and dance but suffer in comparison in; entertaining quality with the boys and girls who made such a hit in the amateur Kldnight Follies at the World a few weeks ago. There are thrills plentiful in the roller skating act of Lang & To. "Dark Stairways," Is the title of the film offering at the World this week. The film offers interesting en tertainment. --» RADIO I V___/ Program for September 1JI. (Courtesy of Radio Digest.) By Associated Trees.

TOWEL COMPANY HAS BIG DEMAND The Frontier Towel and_ Linen supply, 1819 California street Is look ing forward to a very large demand for linen and<towels this winter, due to the fact that many Omaha firms have come to the conclusion that it is cheaper to rent linen than to buy It. Mr. Jensen, proprietor of the firm, just returned from a trip abroad, and while visiting took particular notice to the way the laundry business was conducted. ‘‘Kurope has some fine laundry*,” says Jensen, “but they do not exer cise the care in washing as do our American laundries. The charges are also much higher.” SPECIAL PRICE ON WALL PAPER The Fred rarks Paint etore, 4708 South Twenty-fourth street, advises the papering of the home now.
