Chancellor Wirth Declares OneFourth Amount Due Straps Treasury. PROMISES MORE LATER Force, He Says Can Not Alter Fact Full Payment Is Impossible. By CARL D. GROAT United Press Staff Correspondent.

‘He’s Got Chaplin Skinned Seven Ways’ Is One Movie Patrons Opinion of Lloyd

HAROLD LLOYD

MLSTDN Dll Nil KNOimCIION Law Partner Accepts Responsibility for Discharge of Bookkeeper. That Samuel M. Ralston was in no way responsible for the dismissal of George Shippey as bookkeeper for the law firm of Ralston, Gates. Lairy, Van Nuys & Barnard and that Shippey had notified the firm that his retention was "entirely optional” is set forth in a statement today by Edward E. Gates who assumes the entire responsibility. It has been charged that Shippey was dismissed because he went with the State troops to .serve in the Staunton coal mine area. The statement by Gates said Shippey has told a stenographer of the law firm that he would not remain in its employ after Sept. 1, and that he later wrote a post card from Brazil, Ind., in which he stated that it was entirely optional with the firm whether or not the position was kept open to him. Gates said that Ralston was away when Shippey was dismissed.

By JAMES W. DEAN NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—The barber was talking as he wielded his razor. Valentino is a great actor, he thinks, but William Farnum Is greater. And who is his favorite actor of all? Harold Lloyd. Does he think Lloyd batter than Chaplin? ”1 should say!” he answers. “Chaplin is always the same. Lloyd is always different.” In a theater a flash on thb screen announced the coming of Harold Lloyd in “Grandma’s Boy.” Said one man to another near me: “I’ll have to see that. That fellows’ the funniest guy in the world.” The other man asked him if he thought he was funnier than Chaplin. “He’s got Chaplin skinned soven different ways,” was the reply. In another theater the main title of a re-release is flashed on the screen. It says "Harold Lloyd in—” and before the opening scene is disclosed there is a round of applause. The only time I have witnessed such an occurrence was on the first night of the showing of "The Three Musketeers’ when Doug Fairbanks was there in person. A distributor of Calcutta, India, recently advertised in a film trade paper for second-hand films for exhibition in the countries of the Far, East. He ' specified Harold Lloyd pictures were preferred. The above observations are only a few that I have made in the last few months that indicate Harold Lloyd is now a more popular comedian than Charlie Chaplin. I believe if a na-tion-wide poll were to be taken at the present time it would show conclusively that Lloyd stands above Chaplin In the estimation of the public. I have asked at random ten persons whether they thought Chaplin or Lloyd the better comedian. These included a bank teller, a soda fountain employe, a girl in a store, a small boy, a small girl, a barber, a groceryman. a housewife, a traveling salesman and a newspaper correspondent. The little girl didn’t have any choice. She just liked the movies. The little boy was emphatically for Chaplin. The housewife said she "liked Chaplin better in some ways, but in other ways didn't like him as well as Lloyd.” The bank teller preferred Chaplin. The others were for Lloyd without equivacation. -I- -I- *!* On View Today The following attract'ons are on view today: "The Charm School.” at the Murat: vaudeville and movies, at the Lyric: musical comedy and movies, at the Rialto: “Fools First,” at the Circle: “The Trap,” at the Ohio: “Borderland.” at the Apollo: “His Back Against the Wall," at Mister Smith’s; “Money to Burn." at the Isis; ‘Table Top Ranch,” at the Regent, and “Under Oath,” at the Colonial.

MIAN ADEAD IN EMU COUNT Foe of Woodrow Wilson Leading Opponents In Mississippi. By United Press JACKSON, Miss., Aug. 16. —Former Senator James K. Vardaman, bitter foe of Woodrow Wilson, today was leading in the Mississippi senatorial primary by fewer than 280 votes on returns from seventy-one out of eighty-two counties. Backers of Hubert D. Stephens, running on a pro-Wilson platform, were confident he would nose out Vardaman when complete returns are in, but it was admitted that a "runoff” primary probably would be necessary because of the State law ie qulring that a nominee must get a majority of the votes. e Miss Belle Kearney, the woman can didate in the senatorial race, pulled about 16,000 votes.

FIGHT OR BOOZE BREAKS OUT ANEW INU.SJONGHESS Resolutions Call on Lasker to Tell Whether Agents Buy From England. BUSCH CHARGES RECALLED First Move of Campaign to Bring Issue Before American People. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—The controversy over booze-selling on American ocean vessels broke out anev in the House today when resolutions were introduced demanding that the United States Shipping Board inform Congress where the liquor now being dispensed on Its ships is purchased. The resolutions sponsored by Representative Brennan, Republican of Michigan, and Representative Gallivan, Democrat of Massachusetts. They ask whether agents of the board ai-e

I was using a well-known household article when my friend came in. “Why did you buy that kind?” she asked. “Because it’s good,” I told her. She asked me why. Without realizing what I was doing, I gave her several technical reasons for the superiority of that machine. I listed a number of its mechanical advantages and one or more very special conveniences that I felt meant a great deal to me. My reply surprised even myself. I had not realized I knew so much about it. After I had recited my reasons to her I analyzed my first answer, “it’s good,” and I found that answer typified all of the specific things I was able to recite about the machine which I had, as a matter of fact, recently purchased. It had been widely advertised and I, as a large buyer for a household, always felt that any woman may be guided to safe and satisfactory investments for her own needs and the needs of her family if she will but use the messages which the manufacturers send to her in her newspaper or in her magazine. Until I had said, “it’s good,” I did not realize that I had been reading

so much about the advantages of the machine which I subsequently purchased. One after the other, those messages had gotten into my mind until when asked to do so I was capable of repeating them almost as if I had been a salesman for the company making that article. However, I realized that the printed message had not really meant so much to me as the repeated appearance. Seeing that article over and over again meant to methat many other women had reached the point where they could purchase it sooner than I and were well satisfied with it. Almost instinctively the thought took hold of me that when I saw the name of a product appearing again and again I could feel sure that that product was living up to its promise. I could feel secure in buying it If only all women would realize that in whatever they buy—machines or furniture—clothing or food—dress goods or hats —jewelry or toys—they may save themselves unwise expenditures by seeking the product which, through its advertising and behavior after purchase, compels its thousands of customers to say, “it’s good.”
