desirable cows steady on the early market,

steady prices on common kinds and 1525c

NEW YORK STOCKS
Gradual Advance in Prices
Continues ; Market Responds
to Steady Bidding and
Good War News.
New Tork, Sept. 23. The gradual ad
vance in prices, which began In the
stock market at the termination of the
liquidation caused by the restriction of
loans, was resumed today where it left
off on Saturday. Opening with quota
tions fractionally higher, the market re
sponded to steady bidding, short covering
and stimulating war news. Except for
occasional profit taking around midday
and for a brief period In the final hour,
the progress was maintained throughout
the day, and the closing was strong
with a number of substantial gains.
The Investment railroads made Im
portant gains, this strength being attrib
uted to the published Indications that the
railroad administration would take over
Ihe short line railroads under contract
which would permit rate Increases.
United States and Bethlehem Steels and
Baldwin Locomotive and other equip
ments prospered under the large buying
orders, United States Steel reaching
111, a new high In the present move
ment. Mexican Petroleum attained a new
high figure, 106, for the year. Sales
amounted to 235,000 shares.
Liberal offerings of Liberty bonds at
concessions of 30 to 60 points for cer
tain of the 4s and 44s were commonly
associated with preparations for invest
ment In the new loan. Foreign war bonds
were variable with French government
6tys reaching a new high figure at 101 14.
Total sales, par value, $8,300,000.
United States bonds, old Issue, were
unchanged on call, but coupon 4s sold
H point below the previous prices.

AVERY BRUNDAGE
VICTORIOUS IN
NATIONAL MEET
Wins Highest Amateur Athlet
ic Honors of Nation at the
Great Lakes Carnival;
Canadian Close.
Great Lakes, III., Sept. 23. In a
remarkable test of endurance, Avery
Brundage, a veteran star of the
Chicago Athletic association, won
the highest individual amateur ath
letic honors of the nation today
when he carried off the all-around
championship, the closing event of
the three-day national Amateur
Athletic union outdoor track and
field carnival at the Great Lakes
naval station. Brundage won the
premier honors in the national
games at Newark in 1916 and in
the meet at Birmingham, Ala., in
1914. And today's victory ended
his unusual athletic career, as he
declared he would never compete
again.
His triumph was achieved by
stamina and a wonderful versatility,
for he did not win as many first
places as E. J. Thompson, a cadet
in the royal air force of Toronto,
Canada. The Chicagoan, however,
finished well up among the leaders
in the ten events. He won the shot
put and 56-pound and scored a dead
heat in the mile walk.
All Exhausted.
Nine men competed in the gruel
ling seven-hour test and all finish
ed, but they were exhausted at the
finish. Brundage scored a total of
of 6,708, six points on the basis of
a possible 10,000. J. Helium, a Nor
wegian athlete, representing the
Pastime Athletic club of New York,
was second with 6,149 points, al
though he did not win a single in
dividual contest. Thompson, who
won four individual events of the
ten, was third with 5,152 points.
Earl Gilfillan of Great Lakes, a
former Notre Dame star; Edward
Knourek of Great Lakes, J. R.
Fritts of New York, Lieut. Carl
Buck of Kelly Field, Lieut. N. P.
Bluett of Camp Hancock, Ga and
W. E. Bartels of the University of
Pennsylvania finished m the order
named.
The men competed in ten events:
The 100-yard dash, shot put, run
ning high jump, half-mile walk,
hammer throw, pole vault, 120 high
hurdles, 56pound weight, running
broad jump and one-mile run.
Thompson accumulated an impos
ing early lead in the all-around
events, and led the field after the
firt four events had been decided.
Brundage counted heavily in the
weight events, however, and he
sprang a surprise by walking a dead
heat with J. R. Fritts, unattached,
former New York Athletic club
competitor in the halfmile "hike."
His well-rounded performance is
shown by his record for the ten
events of two firsts, a dead heat,
two seconds, a triple tie and second,
one third, a quadruple tie for third,
a fifth and a victory m one of the
three heats in which the 100-yard
dash was run off.
Great Lakes naval training station
won the 440-yard relay. Pelham
Bay naval training station's fleet
middle distance men carried their
blue colors to victory ii both the
880-yard and one-mile events.
Summaries:
440-yard relay: Won by Great Lakes

AT THE
THEATERS
IF a person told you the United
States had no right or reason to
enter the war you'd probably
knock him down. But what if this
person was your son? This is the
situation in "The Man They, Left
Behind," which comes to the Boyd
tonight for five nights. This play
deals with an attempt on the part of
Germany to put a submarine base
in the Chesapeake bay. It teaches
one of the lessons of the United
States Secret Service department.
Last evening, society night at the
Orpheum, fashionable Omaha at
tended the performance and howed
particular approbation for several of
the vaudeville offerings. Notably
the musical fantasy, "Cupid's Mir
ror," with the musical Comedy fa
vorite, Christie MacDonald, scored
an emphatic success, as did also the
charming coloratura soprano, Ma
rion Weeks. Paul Decker, in "The
Ruby Ray," is anothe of the fea
tured acts to . prove uncommonly
popular. Next 'week conies Der
went Hall Caine, in "The Iron
Hand."
Shooting a big American flag
from the mouth of a frowning can
non right through the air and 011 up
to the dome of the theater is but
one of the striking novelties con
tained in the red, white and blue
patriotic revue, "Hello, America 1"
in which the famous vaudeville
team, Lewis & Dody, are featured
at the Gayety this week.
Tom Brown's Seven Musical
Highlanders are appearing at the
Empress for the first half of the
week and play a score of musical
instruments, including piano, saxo
phone, bagpipe, violin, besides sing
ing and dancing. One of the duets
by the Pepper Twins is especially
well done, and the comedy lines in
the song, "Oh, What a Mix Up,"
brings lots of laughs.
Walker Whiteside is to use a play
called "The Little Brother." Some
time ago it was announced that this
piece would fall to the lot of
Francis Wilson.
Mary Emerson recently produced
a sketch called "The Play's the
Thing." It made such a splendid
start that it is to be booked over
the Orpheum circuit. It has some
thing to do with the war and a spy.
Doris Keane has started rehear
sals in T.nnrlnn of "Roxana." the
play known in this country as "No
body's Widow."
James L. Carhart, who is round
ing his 53d year upon the stage, will
continue in Maude Adams' com
pany. Mr. Carhart is about to cele
brate this 75th birthday and looks
hale and hearty.
Jefferson de Angelis, who is now
playing the leading part in "Rock-a-Bye
Baby," seems to be a splen
did substitute for Walter Jones.
Edna Hibbard, Louise Dresser,
Walter Lawrence and Dixon and
Hyson remain in the 'cast.
Thirty-two Girls Enter
School Tennis Tourney

Perfect Health is Yours
If the Blood Is Kept Pure
Almost Every Human Ailment
Is Directly Traceable to Im
purities in the Blood.
You can not overestimate the im
portance of keeping the blood free
of impurities. When you realize
that the heart is constantly pumping
this vital fluid to all parts of the
body, you can easily see that any
impurity in the blood will cause
serious complications.
Any slight disorder or impurity
that creeps into the blood is a
source of danger, for every vital
organ of the body depends upon the
blood supply to properly perform
its functions.
Many painful and dangerous dis
eases are the direct result of a bad
condition of th blood. Amonf the
most serious are Kheumatism, with
its torturing pains; Catarrh, often a
forerunner of dread consumption;
Scrofula, Eczema, Tetter, Erysipe
las and other disfiguring skin dis
eases; Malaria, which makes the
strongest men helpless, and many
other diseases are the direct result
of impure blood.
You can easily avoid all of these
diseases and rid the system of
them, by the use of S. S. S., the
wonderful blood remedy that has
been in constant use for more than
fifty years. S. S. S. cleanses the
blood thoroughly, and routs every
vestige of impurity It is sold by
druggists everywhere.

ADOLPH ZUKER, president
of the Famous Players-Lasky
corporation, last Monday
thanked Provost Marshal General
Crowder for his decision to list the
motion picture business among the
essential industries under his "work
or fight" law, and said that in his
opinion the screen would vindicate
the provost marshal general's judg
ment. "The motion picture industry,"
said Mr. Zukor, "is already on a war
basis. In making our plans at the
present time for the season of
1918-19, we are deciding to produce
only plays of a cheerful nature, be
cause we believe it to be a patriotic
duty that devolves at this time pe
culiarly upon the screen to bring
comfort and courage to the heart of
America. But the screen is doing an
even more important work. It is
interesting the ideals and aims of
American democracy to the rest of
the world, and in order to aid the
govenment in this direction to our
fullest ability, we have decided to
select only such subjects for produc
tion as will indicate to the peoples
of foreign nations the qualities and
spiritual texture which have been
developed in American manhood
and womanhood by the institutions
which we are now striving to pre
serve. "The American motion picture
Frances Burnham, leading woman
for George Walsh, is again "out of
the hospital." -A little over two
weeks ago she came out of the hos
pital, after a disastrous jump from
a building in a picture and two days
later was bitten by a spider. Physi
cians saved her leg from amputa
tion after a week's doctoring and she
is ready to go at it again.
John Gilbert, the very popular
juvenile who-has been appearing in
productions with both J. Warren
Kerrigan's company and who has
just completed a picture with Bessie
Love, will go to war immediately
upon completion of the work he is
now in. He was 21 severaj weeks
ago and was placed in Class A-l,
and says nothing will suit him better.

Amsterdam, Sept. 23. A draft of v
a constitution for a league of na
tions, worked out in detail by Math

the German Reichstag, is published
in the Vossische Zeitung of Berlin.
It is taken from a book entitled "The
League of Nations; the Way, to
Peare." which RrzhrrMr soon will
publish. ,
The first section of this constitu-.
tion, dealing with the organization
of such a league, says "any sover- ,

which shall be considered to have

seat of the league, and there the in- v
ternational bureau would conduct its .
business. Each state, with the ap
proval of its parliament, would ap
point one delegate. The interna
tional bureau would be controlled
by a permanent administrative coun
cil, consisting of the representativs
of the federated powers, with the
Dutch foreign minister as chairman.
