MONTANA LEADfr THE STATES IN SCHOOL SYSTEMS, REPORT

NEW YORK, May 24. The state of Montana baa the best all-round public school system In the United States,

according to the results of a comparative study of state school systems made public Sunday by the Russell Sage foundation.

The report assigns second place to those of Arizona, fourth to New Jersey and fifth to the state of Washington. These findings are contained in a report by the department of education of the foundation. The volume is entitled "An Index Number for State School Systems," and the author is Dr. Leonard P. Ayres, director of the foundation's department of -education. Other findings of the report are that the school system of the United States as a whole has doubled In efficiency during the last 50 years, having an index number or rating of 26 In 1870 rnd one of 52 at the present time. Since these index numbers are figured on the basis of 100, the school system of the country has now an effectiveness or efficiency of only 52 per cent, according to the report. The figures for the Individual states ae given by the foundation show that during the past 36 years the "West has been coming up educationally while the East has been going down. During this time the greatest increase among all the states has been made by Utah while the state to which is attributed the greatest falling off in relative standing is Maryland. In the East the only state that has gained instead of losing is New Jersey. In

the West the state that has the best stnd most consistently high record is Tf, California. Have High Ratings. Among the interesting results of the r-tudy is the conclusion that the school systems of the United States's terrilorial possessions, such as Hawaii, the Canal Zone and Porto Rico, have higher ratings tnan those of many of the 48 states. That of Hawaii is reported better than those of the majority of the American states. Ten Southern states have records poorer than that cf Porto Rico.

It is a surface attack on the emotions and will not fail to set motion picture fans in a whirl of shifting sensations. It is a surface attack on the emotions and will not f ail to set motion picture fans in a whirl of shifting sensations. It is Mack Sennett's genius in fullest revealment. MURRAY Corinne Griffith, star of "Deadline at Eleven," which will be shown at the Murray theater Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, gives a tip to women in the story. The suggestion is how to control your husband, father, brother or sweetheart. A man hates to be henpecked, ruled, controlled by the stop watch system or questioned as to bis actions. Such methods sow seeds

of discord and reap revolt. The clever

woman leans upon her husband, makes him feel he is doing a favor to her and that she is looking at him as her Idol her sweetheart.

graceful and beautiful comedienne of the Sennett forces plays the1 role of a

badgered but faithful wife of a poor vilalges, the victim of the town's Shylock and a bill for back rent. The villian in the case a sort of cross between a Turkish Don Juan and a "loan shark" is played with rare power and comic results of seriousness by James Finlayson. Little John Henry, Jr., the star baby of fimland is seen in episodes ranging from cute to tragic and his faithful and gallant friend, Teddy, the Sennett Dog Star particupates nobly in scenes of hazard and thrill. Likewise Pepper, the feline actress of many moods, is seen in moments of climax authority while the entire menagerie of feathered and four-footed "ensemble actors" are involved in the spectacular events of this rustic masterpiece. "Down on the Farm" is an unusual comedy of that type of quality that is derived from its unique blending of

Cause of Teeth Stains and Germs the Remedy-

it is not generally known, outside of the dental profession, that ,on all teeth are thin, transparent films or "plaques," which dentifrices are incapable of erasing. This accounts for the obstinacy of most teeth stains, for when these films become discolored from any cause, the most persistent brushing has little if any effect on them. This also accounts for millions

of teeth germs, the surfaces underneath the films providing such fruitful breeding places. In the light of these facts, considerable importance must be attached to the discovery by a prominent dentist of a combination of substances which completely and quickly removes these discolored films. The product which he evolved, known as "Once-a-Week Tooth Polish," not only is entirely noninjurious to the enamel, but is remarkably potent in preserving teeth and preventing decay. If one will procure a package of this from the druggist and use a little on a tooth brush once a week the disagreeable stains will not return, tartar will not form, germs will not attack the enamel. This information will prove invaluable to every one desirous of owning really clean, white, beautiful teeth. Parents Jh should see that their children use this 5r- product regularly. Advertisement.

MURRAY Larry Hawkins and his Melody Mon-

archs are the headliners for Thursday. This act consists of four young men who are very fine musicians, who play

two pianos at over time, violin, trap drrms, and saxaphone and offer a variety of "jazz" and popular selections. This act was the hit of the bill at The Lyric, Indianapolis, last week.

Also on the bill comes Mile. Berthe in

her European Marble Posing act which

is highly interesting and artistic. Mile. Berthe posed for one of the figures at the San Francisco exposition, being eagerly sought after by sculptors who model in clay and marble. Her posings are accentuated by gorgeous stage settings and embellishments. Completing

the bill will be The Avenue Trio, three young men who are always the one

big hit of every bill they are on. Local

friends and admirers of "Kim" Klrkham, the Richmond girl who was for

merly employed in the office of The

Starr Piano Co., will have an oppor

tunity to see her this last half in "The Black Shadows," a five-reel Fox production in which she is very prominent

in the support of Peggy Hyland.

Friends who are in touch with her say

RICHMOND "Desert Gold" the feature photo play Fhowtng now at the Richmond Theatre is adapted from Zane Greys 'latest novel by that name and is a wonderful masterpiece of filming.
