CELLAR STOCKS
DISCUSSED BY
INSURANCE MEN
Liquor in Storage Proves In
teresting Topic for Con
vention in Session
Here.
Owncri : of ' privaie ' supplies of
liquor may have difficulty in get
ting life insurance if the advice of
Thomas B. Gay, general counsel for
the Atlantic Lifel Insurance com
pany, has any effect on insurance
companies' policies.
Mr. Gay spoke on "Some Obser-
Unon Life Insurance Risks of Con
stitutional and Legislative Prohibi
(inn Atrainst Intoxicating Liquors"
at the afternoon meeting of the le
gal section of the American Life
convention at the Hotel Fontenellc
yesterday.
He called attention to the proba
bility of a man with a private sup
ply "of liquor overindulging and ad
vised insurance companies to inves
ficate their client's cellar' before
writing his policy.
Never Offered Drink.
James C. Jones of St. Louis took
an opposite view, declaring that the
man with the private stock was in
clined to noaru u. 10 MiuMaiiiyuc
this he stated that none of his
friends who had large supplies of
contraband had ever asked him to
take a drink. "
Dr. E. Klaveness joined the dis
cussion by declaring that he thought
most of the alleged harmful effect
of alcohol was bunk.
Maj. C. A. Atkinson, of Chicago
insisted that if insurance companies
required a statement regarding its
clients' liquor supply, the names and
addresses of those with large sup
plies should be furnished to gen
eral counsels.
The evening meeting of the legal
section was devoted to a discussion
of after the war problems and ex
periences of companies in litigations
affected by the war.
: Discusses War Clause.
F. V. Keesling 'of San Francisco
opened the evening discussion by
reading a carefully prepared paper
in which he discussed the "war
clause" added by many insurance
companies. Some companies had
provisions which bound them to pay
only the premiums on policies when
the death of the policy holder oc
curred while he was in military serv
ice, Mr. Keesling explained, while
some carried policies by charging a
larger premium and still others de
clined to carry a war risk entirely.
A general discussion followed
touching on the present condition of
the country. C. A. Atkinson of Chi
cago declared that American insti
tutions were in greater danger now
than during the war and urged that
every American institution combat
unamcrican influences. "
Dan W. Sims, Lafayette, Ind., as
serted that too much partisanship
since the' close of the war was in
juring the country.
For automobile tourists a tent
with seven rooms, one of them large
enough to house a large car. .yet
comnaot enough when folded to be
carried on a running board, has
been invented.

TO SEE "Lombardi, Ltd.," is to
feel young; if one is young now,
to feef younger; anyway, at any
age, to breathe the spirit of youth,
with its thrills and its disappoint
ments, and full and happy hearts at
the end of it all.
Leo Carrillo, remembered by thea
tergoing Omahans as a vaudeville
headliner and for his clever Italian
characterizations, brings to this city
for a three days' engagement at the
Brandeis, with a matinee Wednes
day, a worthwhile play, the memory
of which will linger long with those
who see it. Frederick and Fanny
Hatton's three-act play has a plot
that can be followed by even the
most jaded theatergoer.
Mr. Carrillo's handling of the role
of Tito Lombardi, a fashionable
New York dressmaker, is refresh
ing. He made a distinct hit on
Broadway with Lombardi, Ltd.. and
.in taking the play on the road se
lected a strong cast. To see Lom
bardi, Ltd., is to laugh, but there
are serious moments, too, and in
these Mr. Carrillo is at his best. This
star has few peers as a character
actor and Lombardi, Ltd., is an ideal
vehicle for him.
A well-balanced support for Mr.
Carrillo is noticeable throughout
the three acts. Daisy, a mannequin
(Marie Colebrook) is a coming
young actress who well earns her
share of the laughs and applause.
Norah Blake, Lonibardis assistant
(Margery Card), is pretty and e.x
nressive. Her work in the second
act is especially good.
Max Strohn, a theatrical man
ager (Harold Russell), takes full
opportunity of his chance in the
first act and handles well a diffi
cult role.
Oilipi-s lin share honors will
Mr. Carrillo arc Riccardo Tossello,
the "Vermicelli King" (Louis C'al
hern), Mollie McXeal, Louibardi's
forewoman (Lillian Bretmard);
Eloisc, a model (Lillian Franklin);
Mrs. Warrington Brown, a custom
er (Ina Rorke); Lida Moore, a show
girl (Ethel Wilson); Robert Tar
rant, a man about town (Charles
Wellesley); Phyllis Manning, Loui
bardi's sweetheart (Irene Gourlay);
James Hodgkins, Lombardi's book
keeper and manager (Hallam Bos
worth), and Yvette (Mary Brittain)
and Muriel (Peggy Roberts), man
nequins. The gowns worn in Lombardi,
Ltd., are gorgeous and the stage
setting elaborate.
For the society night performance
last evening at the Orpheum there
were no vacant seats. The sparkling
musical comedy, "The Reckless
Eve' brought out more theater par
ties than usual. It is announced that
for Wednesday morning at 11
o'clock the physical culture expert.
Mile. Nadje, will give a lecture ex
clusively for women. She will dem
onstrate exercises that should be
practiced if women are to be kept in
perfect health. This beauty talk,
which she is to offer without charge,
should prove as interesting to ladies
as it is instructive.
Inquiries at the box office of the
Boyd are warrant for belief that
Richard Carle will be greeted by an
oldtime audience when he comes
on Friday night to open the season
at that theater. He will be seen in
the character of an American life
insurance agent running loose in
Spain, The bill is "Sunshine," the
musical comedy by Alexander John
stone, and it is said the name de
scribes it accurately.
During the week all postponed
meetings of the insurance men's
convention will naturally be resumed
at the Gayety theater, where the Vic
tory Belles are presenting the only
musical show in town. Eddie Dale
and Mickey Markwood swing the big
audiences into gales of laughter at
their will. The chorus is of much
beauty and charm. Matinee daily at
2:15.
Fiske O'Hara will appear at the
Brandeis during Ak-Sar-Ben week
as the man from "Down Limerick
Way," the new romantic comedy by
Anna Nichols. The supporting com
pany includes Patricia Clary, Nan
Bernard, Mary L. Malloy, Laurette
Allen and Robert Irving.
Tom Powell, producer of novelty
acts, has presented a singing and
dancing sketch with real southern
characters in "On the Mississippi,"
which toplin.es the bill at the Em
press this first half. The "scene is
the deck of the steamboat "Robert

Washington, Sept. 22. America's
future military policy as advocated
today before the house military com
mittee by Maj. Gen. J. W. McAn
drew, chief of staff of the A. E. F.
throughout the war, should call for
"peace on the Pacific on our own
terms." This, he said, can he as-
Lsured by control of the Panama canal
and the Hawaiian islands.
Although General McAndrew told
the committee he was loath to dis
agree with the general staff, he took
issue with its reorganization plan on
the basis of an army of 509,000 men,
proposing instead a force of 300,000
"at the utmost." While joining with
the general staff in advocating uni
versal training for 19-year-old youths
General McAndrew disagreed with
its proposed three-month period of
training, declaring it was "inade
quate" and should be at least six
months.
Wants 1,250,000 Army.
General McAndrew recommended
that the skeleton of 21 divisions, a
field army of 1,250,000 men, as pro
posed by the general staff be ap
proved, but he suggested that these
divisions, with the exception of four,
be skeletonized to 6,000 or 7,000
men, instead of a larger number as
proposed by the war department.
He also agreed with the department
plan for a "top-heavy" officers per
sonnel, explaining these were
needed for universal training, and
even if such a system were not
adopted their retention would be
advisable for quick enlargement of
the army in an emergency.
Division on Border.
The peace time army of 300,000
men, he said,' should be distributed
with one complete division at the
Panama canal, another at Hawaii,
another with additional troops, if
necessary, along the Mexican bor
der; small forces in the Philippine
and Alaska and the remainder at
home for coast defense and train
ing. .
"By all means." he asserted, "we
must safeguard Hawaii. Its loss in
time of war would put Japan or any
combination of powers on the flank
of our communications to Asia and
the Philippines. It is likely that in
any war in the Pacific we might not
at first have the preponderance of
jiaval strength, and the army must
maintain the islands until reinforce
ments are brought from the Atlantic
fleet by way of the canal. With one
division and the shore batteries we
could keep a navy off for some time
because of the few landing places."

Our Daily Laugh
For two weeks the P. C. & R.,
road has been tied up by a strike and
the east has been scoured for train
men. Late one afternoon a husky,
hard-faced man strolled into the
employment manager and said:
"I can brake. Gimme a job?"
The manager looked him over care
fully. His appearances were
against him.
"Got references?"
"I could send for 'em. but it
would take a couple of weeks."
"Well, I don't think I want you,"
saM the manager.
- "Why not?"
"Well, I don't like your appear
ance." "Oh? said the husky, quite bland
ly." Do you hire 'em for looks, out
here?"
"Often," said the manager,
"Zat so?" said the husky scanning
the manager's face. "Did they hire
you over the telephone?".
He got the job.

Today's Beauty Hint
INis not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently if it is en
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use of a really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we
can recommend to our readers is
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair and may be en
joyed at very little expense, by dis
solving a teaspoonful of canthrox
which can be obtained from any
druggist, in a cup . of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
it. to all the hair instead of .Just
to the top of the head. This, when'
rubbed into the scalp and onto
every strand of hair, chemically
dissolves all impurities. It is very
soothing and cooling in its action,
as well as beneficial to both scalp
and hair. After rinsing out the
lather so created, you will find the
scalp is fresh, 'lean and free from
dandruff, while the hair dries
quickly and ' evenly, developing a
bright luster and a soft fluffiness
that makes it seem very heavy.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what ybu
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tle, and is very harmful. Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo (which is
pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than anything else you
can use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abun
dance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out eas
ily and removes every particle- of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at most any drug store.
It is very cheap, and a few ounces
is enough to last everyone in the
family for months.
Keep Clean
Keep clean inside, as
well as outside. Do not
allow food poisons to ac
cumulate in your bowels.
Headache, a sign of self- -poisoning,
will point to ,
numerous other troubles
which are sure to follow.
Keep yourself well, as
thousands of others do,
by taking, when needed,
a dose or two of the old, '
