If you want to see June Caprice in overalls, you must come to the Washington Theatre while "The Ragged Princess," William Fox's new picture, 14 running. The photoplay begins a run of two days there on Friday and Saturday. June has to wear overalls to get a Job as farm-hand with an old man of the fields. She has run away from the orphanage where she was raised, and milking is about the only pursuit left open to her. Besides, she likes this farm, because Harry Deigan works there. (Harry Deigan is played by Harry Hilliard.) MURRETTE King Baggot, the famous motion picture star is to appear in person immediately following his picture, "Absinthe" ut all performances at the ' Murrettfe Friday. He is seated on his favorite horse that he used in the making of one of his late pictures, entitled "Half .i Rogue," a dramatization of Harold MacGrath's novel of the same name that proved a big success. MURRETTE It is an old saw that there Is honor, even among thieves. In the peculiar code of the underworld the one great unforgivable crime is the double-crossing, or betrayal, of a pal. Around this fact there has been written a fascinating combination of comedy and drama called "A Girl Like That," a Famous Players-Paramount production In which Irene Fenwick and Owen Moore are co-stars. It is the attraction at the Murrette theatre Friday.

REPORT MANY CASES OF RHEUMATISM NOW Says We Must Keep Feet Dry; Avoid Exposure and Eat Less Meat. Stay off the damp ground, avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat less meat, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep down uric acid. Rheumatism Is caused by poisonous toxin, called uric acid, which is generated In the bowels and absorbed Into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this Impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventual! settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric ecld by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of the3e Impurities. - Jad Silts la inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas-

Are Zeppelins a T ailure?

Continued From Page One.

pounding at the Dardanelles. His story was amazingly interesting, but I doubted it, until I met the captain of one of the Zeppelins which had taken part in the operation. He confirmed everything the Turk told. After the Allied fleet had pulverized several Turkish forts, and after troops were landed on the Dardanelles,, the whole world expected the fall of Constantinople within a few weeks, if not days. Turkey was spending every shell she possessed to defend her positions. The German and Turkish battleships had to give up their supplies for the land defences. The Allies kept hammering, and the situation became more desperate. Germany had promised Turkey support, so the Krupp interests tried to send powder and ammunition to Turkey via Rumania. Servia at this time was still unconquered. Rumania, how

ever, placed an embargo on the ship

ment of war supplies through her territory, so Germany shipped powder in

beer kegs and shells in cement blocks.

For some time Rumania did not dis

cover the German tricks, and It was not until a keg of powder on a sup

posed beer train exploded In Ruman

ian freight yards that Rumania discovered what was going on. The Krupps had shipped a train load of

powder in beer kegs. ' On one car

they had real Bavarian beer for distribution to Rumanian border officials, but one night when the train was on a. side track four Rumanian railroad men broke into a car, took out a keg, and when they hammered in the bunghole the barrel exploded, killing three

of the men and wounding the fourth.

That put a stop to the shipment of war supplies through Rumania.

But the Allies were still attacking

the Dardanelles, and Turkey needed

immediate assistance, so the Zeppelins were mobilized. Ammunition factories in Germany were taken apart and the machinery was carried to Constan

tinople from Temesvar, Hungary by

Zeppelins. The machinery was shipped

to Temesvar from Essen and Madge-

burg and carried through the air to Turkey. Powder was carried in the same manner. Within a few weeks German ammunition factories were running in Turkey, and the big shells which the Turks needed for defending the Dardanelles were being manufactured as fast as Turkey needed them. The crisis was passed. The Zeppelns had saved the Dardanelles and Constantinople. ' This incident, which played such a great part in deciding the outcome of the Dardanelles operations, was never related to the German people because the General Staff guarded information about Zeppelns more closely than information about any other thing In Germany. The General Staff deliberately misled the German people in order to deceive the outside world, because the German government and

the big manufacturing : interests know that the Zeppelins during this war have demonstrated that when peace comes . they will be the greatest and most Important means of international communication. The Zeppelin engineers know that under any conditions except war Zeppelns cannot be destroyed as easily as people imagine. One time In Temesvar I met an Austrian captain of a Zeppelin which had raided Salonica. He told me It took ten hours to fly from Temesvar to Salonica, a distance of about 700 miles. He told me that Zeppelins could fly, and had gone from Namur, Belgium, where there Is a base, to Constantinople. Zeppelins bad gone from Constantinople to Bagdad, and near Bagdad the Germans were building a Zeppelin base for an attack on the Suez Canal. - The success of the English operations in Mesopotamia have, of course, temporarily put an end to these aspirations. The German people are very easily deceived. One time I saw a confidential report of the General Staff to the German newspapers. The . report began by saying that the East India docks near London "were burned and great storehouses of ammunition destroyed. The docks and storehouses on the London docks were burned and many ships hit. A large cotton warehouse on Victiria docks was burned. . St. George, and Lemon Streets were badly damaged. The city itself and the newspaperquarter was badly damaged. And the

following' objects were especially hit:

One tower of the Tower Bridge, which was defended by anti-aircraft machinery. "Chancery Lane; . "Liverpool Street; "Morgate Street; "Bishopsgate and Altgate and a large number of streets, including whole

blocks of houses, were destroyed."

I have not been In London since

February and March, 1915, so, I must

leave these statements to those who have been there, to correct. ' I have

been told , by English correspondents

that the report was "greatly exagger

ated."

Zeppelin construction has develop

ed a great deal during the war- The

three types have been wonderfully

I changed. The largest are the so-call

ed "S. L. ; the next are the regular Zeppelins, and the third are the marine airships. The new Schuette-Lanz ships are over six hundred : feet long and have a carrying capacity equal to seven normal freight cars. All are equipped with wireless telegraphy and the second officer is usually the wireless operator. These are the machines which Germany plans to use in reestablishing her commerce with the United States. Under normal air conditions, flying at an altitude of one thousand feet, I was informed the Zeppelins would be able to . fly from Hamburg to New York in less than two days. The great possibilities of Zeppelin communication cannot be foreseen today. For carrying important mail and express they can revolutionize after the war the means of communication. Passenger service, too, will be established as soon as the first trips have proved practical. Germany did not send Zeppelins to New York during the war because they would have to cross England and because there are no German ships on the' ocean to be of assistance in case of ' emergency. When - Germany begins her Zeppelin communication with the United States she will have to depend upon her ships at sea for aid in case the air currents change or in case of an accident. , But for communication with China and the Far East the time is not far away when Germany will have plans made for revolutionizing intercourse between Europe and those powers. I have been told often by Zeppelin experts that all they need Is peace time conditions to perfect the Zeppelins for this work. At present all Zeppelin construction is for war purposes. All raids have taught the constructors important lessons. The first raid over Salonica was one of the most enlightening in this way. On that raid the Zeppelin was shot almost to pieces so that it barely remained In the air. But it returned safely to its base,

after being in the air forty-one hours. And en route to Hungary the Zeppelin encountered a storm. Some of Count Zeppelin's most capable assistants made the trip, and they received pointers during this voyage, which taught them how to make Important changes in the construction of the Zeppelin air cases.' ;." ....... Until bis death Count Zeppelin was one of the most daring aviators in Germany. He made flights under all conditions and to all points. A few months ago, shortly before his death, he went to England on a raid to study the effects of the gun Are and to see if he could not get at the secret of the English anti-aircraft system. A wireless operator on one of the ships which took part in this raid told me one of the things which impressed the old count more than anything was the white-eyed searchlights which looked up into the 6ky from the City of London. He counted at one time sixtytwo searchlights . on his Zeppelin. Count Zeppelin, however, died before he learned how to' protect his great inventions against the English and French anti-aircraft artillery. The Zeppelins, of course, have not been successful in air raids. They have not been able to greatly assist the army, but they did save Constantinople, and they are preparing daily for the next great North Sea battle.

At nights, shortly before diplomatic relations were broken, Zeppelins could be seen manoeuvering above Berlin. Even on dark nights, one could see these giant ships, with their red and green port and starboard lights, cruising about in the heavens. The war is not ended, and the possibilities' of the Zeppelins are not over. It is almost too early to judge whether Zeppelins are a failure or a success. They certainly have as much to their credit as to their loss.

"California Syrup of Figs" Can't harm tender stomach, liver, bowels.

.vIoBt soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkai. which is very

, injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulslfied cocoanut oil, for - this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or any thing else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh-looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Adv. .

A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach sour. Look at the tongue, mother! If coated, or your child Is listless, cross, feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat, or any other children's ailment, give a teasponful of "California Syrup of Figs," then don't worry, because it is perfectly harmless, and in a few hours all this constipation poison, sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well,' playful child again. A thorough "Inside cleansing" is ofttimes all that is necessary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for -grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Look carefully and see that it is made by the "California Fig Syrup Company." , Adv.
