,AR SHORTAGE K FOLLOWS 111 SCARE

Short Tieup of Traffic as Result of Strike Has Its Effect on Local Industry.

The calamity that would have fallowed the railroad strike when simply oil account of its being threatened abnormal conditions prevail on all lines throughout the country, was the subject discussed among railroad men Tuesday morning.

Terre Haute is feeling the effects of these conditions in a car shortage. The car shortage has been chronic over the country for about six months, but It suddenly became acute when embargoes went into effect beginning last Thursday on trunk lines. As a result taany factories, coal dealers and producers loaded all surplus cars and called for more in anticipation of the strike. The railroads moved loaded bars and left "empties" standing on the sidings and the shortage began to be felt. It will take at the least a few

!days,

and possibly weeks, to right this condition. J. W. Trueb, superintendent of car service of the Vandalia lines, said Tuesday morning: "The oar shortage is a natural reSuit of the conditions brought about by the threatened strike. If traffic is stopped only a few days it is bound to breate, a car shortage to some extent. I do not know that the demand of the local industries for cars has been great, The situation is general and Terre Haute will feel the effects of stringency in other places. Officials of railroad freight departments generally are advising shippers to load cars to capacity and to load and unload as promptly as possible. This would be the best means to minimize the car shortage or overcome it."

HE WAS WORRIED AND HOPELESS. i "For ten or twelve years^ I was bothered with bad kidney trouble," writes T. F. Hutchinson, Little Rock, Ark. "I tried many remedies and doctors, but grew worse all- the time. I Was worried and had almost given up all hopes. I tried Foley. Kidney Pills and they helped me a lot. I have since used five boxes and am now' a well man." Foley Kidney-' Pills drive out aches and pains due to kidney trouble: also sleep disturbing bladder disorders. —Valentine's Economical Drug Store, i

SCHOOL BELLS RING OUT SUMMONS AGAIN

Vacation Comes to End and Increased Enrollment is Expected by Officials.

Tuesday was the day for the children to take their books under their arms and return to school again after their summer vacation. Some had congregated on the school steps and on the lawns before the hour of opening. These were the good children who like going to school, others went later and perhaps a little reluctantly. Most of the children, though, like going to school the first day, the principals say, and a large number of them showed up.

The enrollment of the schools will not be completed until Wedjg:sday, according to Superintendent Charles J. Waits. Some of the high school principals requested the new students not to come until the afternoon, so that only the old high school students were enrolled. Fr:~n the reports of principals so far received a slight increase over the enrollment of laBt year Is shown. This is not a fair comparison because the first day last year was rainy and complete returns ought to show a much heavier increase.

Tfiere, was no work for the children or students Tuesday. On the first day of school they are classified and given their list of books. Regular sessions will begin Wednesday.

Superintendent Waits said the schools are in good shape physically to handle the increased enrollment. The Rea grammar, school has always been somewhat congested. This condition has been relieved^ this year by removing the kindergarten to a cottage across from the school.

Labor day wass appropriately celebrated at the Hippodrome by the pre-, sentation of the biggest and best vaudeville bill of the iew season.

Roally. th«re Wn't »a weak act on the present bill at the --Up. Even the posing rt'itfs that'oponeci the show did original. stunts. xY sketch called "The Family" in which Jane Courthope and three others appear, is a gem. It concerns the good housewife grown old. not with the weight of years, but through' worry, is the target for unconsciously cruel peeves from a grouchy father and a saucy slip of a girl. When the .worm turns there's a "big awakening in the household. First the son gives his ill-natured father a tongue lashing. Finally tihe lady of the house comes home all dolled up in borrowed finery and all hands dance to her music.

Neil McKinley, a sure enough nut comedian, has a lot of lew and very amusing stuff. Chabot and Dixon have a musical act that's quite out of the ordinary. The 'male, portion of the sketch plays the piano with hands and feet and dances acrobatically while playing the fiddle. The big, flashy feature of the bill is contributed by Samuel Rashin and his Russian musicians, singers and danfeers, ten in all. These Russians get much harmony out of their folk songs, which they sing to the accompaniment of odd-looking musical instruments

It was no doubt vanity that prompted members of Chicago's leisure class to play at picture acting, that they might see themselves as others see tham.

Well, anyhow, the big bugs of Chicago—"bugs" is right-r-are all huddled together in a flllum and they may be seen at the American today for a thin dime. The spectacle is interesting and worth seeing, if only for purposes of comparison. After seeing these wtallhy pork-packing persons dawdle about upon the screen, trying to be grace

All the newest summer styles, in all sizes of chambray, galatea guaranteed fast color..

fully uncoricemed, catching fat ladiesi in Mary Pickford attitudes, and respectable looking old gentlemen doing the Francis X. Bushman pose, one appreciates the fact that acting for the camera is, after all, an art, or, at leaat, a "regular business," in which one may not attain efficiency overnight.

There is a tremendous, a vulgarly ostentatious display of "Joolry," some of these society dames showing rocks as large as a marble. There is a story to "Cousin Jim," too, if you care to look for It. "Cousin Jim" is certainly a most unusual fillum. Tou can hardly afford to miss seeing it.

In* "The Devil's Needle," the Triangle photoplay to be shown at the Varieties, Tully Marshall is seen in the role of a dope flend. Norma Talmadge is also a morphine victim in the play. Mr. Marshall was last seen here, in the flesh, as the star of his wife's (Marian Fairfax) comedy, "The Talker.'* Miss Talmadge is best known as a movie actress. One of her greatest hits was scored in "The Battle Cry of Peace.''

A portrait of Mis3 Talmadge, used as a property in "The Devil's Needle,'' was painted by the actress herself, looking in a mirror. She has be*sn taking art lessons for a long time and her friends have many specimens of her ability in this direction.

The seventh of the P. A. Wilkey scries of performers' contests will fra given at the Savoy tonight. Among the contestants announced are Roy Jactyson, blackface comedian Francis Logan, "the silly kid" Dorothy Mills, vocalist Lenlz and Lentz, and the Cole sisters, winners of last week's contest. The Cole sisters will present a new act and hope to repeat their victory of last week.

The World film version of Clyde Fitch's play, "The City," will. be shown at the Crescent today only. It has •been many years since "The City" was first presented at the Lyric theatre, in New York, b^ut that premiere wilt never be forgotten by those who were present. Mr. Fitch had given Broadway a beautiful pastoral play in "Lover's Lane," which made "The City" all the more shocking. Mr. Fitch certainly mixed his characters up in a most unpleasant way. There is one terrific scene, in which half-brothers' learn some horrible family secrets. It was in "The City" that Tully Marshall scored his first big hit. His dope fiend woke up Broadway in much the same way that Mansfield stirred the great wliite way with his Baron Chevrail in "A Parisian Romance." Thurlow Bergen is the featured player in the film version of "The City." "Wednesday's bill at the Crescent will be the Equitable photoplay, "The Price," with Helen Ware.

"The Pacifist," a two-reel Espanay drama, with Harry Dunkinson, will be shown at the Orpheum today, along with the Selig-Trit-une news pictorial. Miss Elizabeth Johnson will offer some new songs. Lillian Gish in "Man's Enemy," a Griffith film, will be Wednesday's star. farce.

•Anna Little, Jack Richardson and Frank Borzage are the stars in "The Forgotten Prayer," a drama of the western plains, at the Fountain today. "The Key," a detective film, with Ed Coxen and Lizctte Thorne, is on Wednesday's bill.

"Wild Oats," a Kleine-Edison photoplay, with Malcolm Duncan and Alma Hanion, is today's feature at the Savoy. On Wednesday, "The Green Cloak," a five-reel ICleine feature, with Irene Fenwick, will be shown.
