BRITISH SOLDIERS (Continued from Page One) group of Chinese saihsrs marched with one contingent. The marchers were guarded closely by the. police, but there were no attacks, as was the case during the last demons! ration at Westminster, when mounted police charged among the ranks of the former soldiers. Something of the kind was expected this time and when a file of police marched toward the procession, a man muttered, "Here they come, in marching order." But the police took their places quietly and made no attempt to interfere with the demonstration. Men March Silently. Through the streets the men were silent, pnd a heavy fog descending caused an uncanny effect as it covered the ranks of the marchers. Tlie sidewalks were crowded hut nobody made any demonstration except here and thnre an emotional young woman started everybody cheering the shabby ; links of ex-heroes. .h they entered the park the men ::ivv noisier and Ihcre were cries of Williams' KidneyandLiver Pills Hove yon overwork sd jronr ncrvons system Bod caused trouble with ycur kidneys and livcrT Have you pains in loins, side and back?

"Who won the war?" responded by a long-drawn shout like a college yell, "Lloyd George." Then some other satirist demanded. "Who wants to go to Russia?" or a former "Waac" would make pertinent remarks about the government. Bitter Against Everything Bitterness against Lloyd George was evident throughout the meeting. The service men claimed that when the committee called on the premier a short time before, the door, figuratively, was slammed in their faces. The demands presented at the demonstration were for 'a fair chance at a Job', cessation of discharges from government factories and dockyards; for adequate facilities for the training of disabled men; an equitable war gratuity; increased pensions and more efficient management of the pensions department. Profiteering Contributes The present profiteering which Is boosting food, clothing and rent costs with little or no Interference from the government, has aroused intense feeling among the service men. The fact that many of the wartime profiteers evaded service and are now enjoying the fortunes they made out of the war does not alleviate matters. Open threats have been made that unless the profiteering Is checked the service men will take matters into their own hand3 and use thesame tactic3 against the profiteers that they used against the Germans.

The employment situation seems to be growing more critical. Men crowd the docks every day on the chance of casual employment and there is always a crowd outside the labor exchange. One reason for this condition is the attitude taken by many British employers, who are discharging service menthey took on just after the close of the war and are making one man do the work of two to cut down expense. A man who had served in the Scotch guards has just been demobilized after spending a long period In the hospital undergoing treatment for a wounded leg. When he went back to the firm he had worked for before tha war they offered him a place on condition that he let them deduct the amount of his pension from his former salary. The man declined the job. Want League of Nations The British federation of former rervice men is active in support of the league of nations. The latest issue of the official organ of the federation says editorially: "Alone out of the nightmare of unavailing sacrifice and blasted hopes comes a frail child of peace in the shape of the league of nations. It is tho hope of humanity, particularly that part of humaity that has to shed its blood on battlefields. "There is a solemn responsibility on all ex-service men to take up the fight on behalf of the league. We know what war is and we do not want any more of it. We have killed and have seen our best friends killed. We see a new generation growing up around us. "We have children of our own. It was to make the world safe for these that we and our dead comrades fought. In the strengthening of the league lies our hope of insuring that our sacrifices shall not have been in vain." News of Railroad and Industrial Workers Announcement vas received in Richmond Tuesday that several yard employes of the Pennsylvania rail road at "Hamilton had gone on strike in sympathy with B. & O. men of that city.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1920.

W.C.T.U. Prom state to state, across the continent state leaders have entered with royal enthusiasm into the organization of their forces to carry the Jubilee Membership Campaign of 1920 to complete success. Preliminary work goes forward rapidly. Individual states are putting out fine plans for intensive campaigns in April and May. In 1915, the plan for celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the organization of the W. C. T. U., by raising a Thank Offering Million Dollar Jubilee fund, was Miss Gordan's. In 1919, a National Jubilee committee put on a nation-wide financial drive for a Thank Offering Jubilee fund. Today, the Jubilee plan is the plan of every member of every local union in the United States. They used to call it "a visionary plan." Today it is the plan that is bringing the million dollars to promote the five year Jubilee program; the plan by which a million members will celebrate Jubilee Year 1924. THIS IS THE YEAR TO PLANT SORGHUM BRYANT Because of the sugar shortage, molasses will command a higher price and many farmers in Indiana, especial- j ly in the southern part of the state, will be induced this year greatly to in-i crease their acreage of sorghum cane, according to George C. Bryant, field agent of the department of agriculture, co-operating with the Indiana crop reporting service. Statistics of the last two years show that the sorghum acreage reached the highest point in 1918 when farmers were asked to assist in solving the'sugar shortage during the war. Last year the acreage dropped considerably, but the price of sorghum molasses was higher in 1919 than in 1918. As no relief in the sugar situation is in sight it is expected that there will be a great demand for sorghum this fall. The molasses can be used in baking and cooking a3 a supplement to sugar. EARLHAM COMPETITORS GIVEN MEDALS MONDAY Medal3 bestowed by the public speaking department at Earlham for oratorical achievements were awarded! by Prof. E. P. Trueblood. head of the department, at chapel Monday. The members of the two debating teams who received medals in the order named are: Ralph Nicholson, Kent Morse, John Baker, Julius Tietz, Neal Xewlin and Kenneth Kienzle. Mary Pennington, the representative in the State oratorical contest, and Donald, winner in the state Peace contest, also received medals.

All you have ever loved, or I 'cussed", in a boy! And a lot about men and women ! As only Mark Twain himself could see it and set it down. The tale of a lad who "fled from civilization," boarded a raft on the Mississippi, floated down, down, adventuring with a "King" and a "Duke" and old black Jim. The tale that will live as long as the world can smile, and men remember youth. Made into a picture in the truest sense great.

"Birth" Still Attracting Enormous Crowd Today Tuesday night will mark the last Richmond Bhowings of "Birth," the New York maternity hospital film showing at the Richmond theatre. The enormous crowds that have viewed the film have been astounded in the way that many delicate scenes required for a film of this type were handled. Everything in detail regarding the care of the infant is shown, including what is claimed to be one of the most remarkable sceneB ever photographed, that of an actual birth filmed in apanner that will not affect the most delicate mind. After viewing the "Birth" one can plainly see why it is claimed by medical authorities that it the methods shown on the screen were followed out in all of the homes and hosptal3 of the country that the lives of 6er SO, 000 infants and many thousands of ignorant mothers would be saved each year.

The Theatres WASHINGTON You'd think a boy of 12 years who is a featured player in a big motion picture production like "Huckleberry Finn." showing at the Washington Theatre today and tomorrow, would either be perfectly satisfied or else have high ambitions to rise in his profession. Young Gordon Griffith, who has the role of Tom Sawyer in this fine film version of Mark Twain's immortal., story, comes under neither of these descriptions. Since the age of seven. Master Griffith has been a screen actor and a mighty successful one. Moreover, both his parents are on the stage. But Gordon has aspirations in other directions. He intends to become a civil engineer, and with this end in view is saving every cent of money he earns and uses every spare moment to study in order that he may attend Stanford University and get his C. E. degree. MURRAY VAUDEVILLE When we say that in pretentiousness and artistry Verna Mersereau and company, who are headlining the new bill at the Murray this first half, compare favorably with Pavlowa and Mordkin, we know there are some who will be skeptical, but if those who doubt will witness their performance we are confident you will say we are justified in making this comparison. The bulk of the dancing falls to Mis Mersereau, who 1s ably assisted by Mr. McCormack and four charming young ladies. Their work is all interpretative, opening with a Hair Roots Come Out Before Your Very Eyes New Method Banishes Superfluous Hair. The new way to remove superfluous hair, roots and all the phelactine way is rapidly superseding the oldfashioned depilatory methods, as well as electricity, razors and tweezers. And no wonder! Here is a product so harmless a child could safely eat it so non-irritating and odorless it is altogether pleasant to use and the process is so quick acting that.it actually removes the hairs entire, including the roots, in just a few seconds! You will surely have the surprise of your life if you will obtain a suck of phelactine from your druggist and follow the simple instructions which ! accompany it. advertisement.

'MARK TWAIN PARAMOUNT Wml ARTCRAFT,

beautiful prologue, then changing to Cleopatra's palace, where the drama is enacted in the dance. It is seldom a tepsichorean act in Richmond arouses unusual enthusiasm, but the audience last evening, realizing the worth of the offering, took them to their hearts and gave them four curtain calls. Harry and Etta Cpnley, in "At the Old Cross Roads," have an act which is one of the season's big

hits. Conley portrays a bucolic char-' acter calling on "his gest gal," somewhat similar to Stone and Hays, and he had the audience fairly rolling in their seats. The setting is novel and effective, especially at the close, where a motorcycle winds around the hill and out of sight. Mann and Mallory entertain in a singing and talking sketch, and Bessie Barriscale is on the screen in "A Woman Who Understood." Two acts on this biVJ are direct from the Orpheum time, and Richmond never saw a better vaudeville show than the bill now playing. MURRETTE A photoplay as breezy as the great New England coast where the principal, events of the drama take place, "Sinners," which has thrilled theatregoers in a no uncertain manner, is to have its last presentation in this city Tuesday at the Murrette Theatre. ""Sinners" is not a melodrama as many will recall who saw it on the speaking stage, but a true characterization of life in the small town where everything and everybody moves by rule and route, and gossiping tongues swing from the center. What a contrast to the existence led by big city cliff dwellers, who are seemingly heartless, Godless Sodomites! America's screen favorite and Rearart star. Alice Brady, plays the part IF YOUR EARS RING WITH HEAD NOISES If you have roaring, buzzing noises in your ears, are getting hard of hearing and fear Catarrhal Deafness, go to your druggist and get 1 ounce of Parmint (double strength) and add to it 4 pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar. Take 1 tablespoonful four times a day. This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should upen, breathing become easy and the mucus stop dropping into the throat. It is easy to prepare, costs little and is pleasant to take. Anyone whp has Catarrhal trouble of the ears, is hard of hearing or has head noises should give this prescription a trial. advertisement.
