The picture, which has been pronounced by critics as one of the ba.t of the year, will be shown at the Washington ncx. week. MURRAY Leonard Staunton felt only scornful disbelief when he received the first message signed in Chinese characters with purple ink, purporting to come from a Chinese secret society which demanded $250,000 with death for the

victim as the alternative. e u" refused to believe himself to be in any real danger when his friends Fitzhugh and Mansfield, told him of receiving similar death threats from the same source. The story is told in "The Purple Cipher." by Will F. Jenkins, put into Vitaeranh. which will be

shown at the Murray theater opening i

Thursday, with Earle Williams in rne stellar role. More to keep his friend s minds away from anxiety than from any feeling that he was actually in danger, Staunton takes Fitzhugh to his club to spend the evening of the day set for his assassination by the mysterious "Society of the Purple Cinhor" Fitzhueh. according to the

impersonate casual visitors and performers engaged to entertain the house party guests around which the laugh comedy revolves. The famous Delmar estate at Glen Cove, Long Island, was used for these scenes by special arrangement. RICHMOND A picture that is 100 per cent entertainment! "Shipwrecked Among Cannibals" now playing at the Richmond Theatre, where it had its first showing last night, went over the top as one of the most remarkable pictures ever filmed. This picture was taken among the

Kia Kla Head Hunters, the cannibal inhabitants of Dutch Now Guinea, by Edward Laemmle and William Aider, two American moving picture men in search of novel film subjects who were shipwrecked on the shores of canniballand. The picture opens with scenes of their stunts on shipboard. Later their, good ship, "Nautilus," springs a leak and the water rushes in relentlessly Saving their camera they make for shore and find themselves the unheralded guests of South Sea Island maneaters, the Kia Kia headhunters. There is not a dull minute to the picture and there are many times when you clutch your chair in suspense. No "wild and wooly" western was ever half so thrilling.

next one will be held in April, in Logansport. WABASH With 200 volunteers unable to gain control of a fire which started in the waste paper at the United Paper Board company's plant, a call was sent for help from Peru. Over 1,500 tons of paper had been burned. More than 10,000 feet of hose was in use by the men.

(By' Associated Press) CHICAGO, Oct 14. Six months of private operation of the railroads cost the taxpayers of ' the country more than two-thirds as much as the two

years and two months of federal control. Interstate Commerce Commissioner Woolley declared in an address here before the National Association

of Ice Cream Manufacturers.

"The two years and two months of

federal control cost the taxpayers

$902,000,000, according to latest re

turns," said Mr. Woolley. "Assuming

that the interstate commerce commis

sion, in the final accounting, will allow all of the maintenance charges

reported by the carriers in the period from March 1 to Sept. 1, only six

months of private operation cost the

tax payers $634,000,000. This is the

deficit in operations in round numbers. Asks Justice. "Furthermore, beginning approxi

mately on Sept. 1, new freight rate

and passenger fare increases, esti

mated to be $1,500,000,000 annually,

went into effect. Now I am not here

to advocate a return to federal con

trol or to paint a blue picture. On the

contrary, I am very optimistic. I only

ask that you as business men be just

Shortly after the return of the rail

roads to private control there was 'a switchmen's strike which seriously handicapped their operations. Also, a number of Innovations adopted under federal control were done away with. You will recall how certain great terminals became choked, how the car situation became critical and it was necessary for the interstate commerce commission, under the war emergency powers of the new transportation act, to take over the movement of all freight equipment in a large part of the country. "As a result, I am here to report that not only are the people of New England and the northwest not going to freeze to death as there was danger of them doing, but the grain crop of the great middle west and northwest has been moved more expeditiously than any one on July 1 dared

predict that it .would be and that industry has gone forward and we are approaching a period of easement."

Venezuela and Japan

Expected to Establish Dimplomatic Relations (By Associated Press) TOKIO, Oct. 14. Diplomatic relations between the Republic of Venezuela and the Empire of Japan may be established in the very near future, if the mission of H. Perez Dupuy, en

voy extraordinary from Venezuela to

Tokio, is successful. Mr. Dupuy has.

for several days past, been negoiiat-

ing with the Japanese Foreign Office

to that end and fels sure of the ultl

mate success of his mission. "Venezuela seeks more customers for her products," said Mr. Dupuy. Her bankers and business men realize that more customers will make sounder business. Her products, iron, gold, copper, tobacco, long fiber cotton, sugar, cocoa, coffee, oil and frozen meats, will doubtless some of them be saleable in Japan and in return, Venezuela can buy rice, wheat, toys, porcelains and other goods from this country." The newly subsidized steamship

lines which Japan ia today promoting

to improve and encourage Japanese' shipping probably will call at La Guavia, the principal seaport of Venezuela.

ful women and well dressed men who TO WOMEN WHO OVERDO Thousands of American women in our homes are daily sacrificing their lives to duty. In order to keep the home neat and attractive, the children well dressed and tidy, women overdo. Soon a weakness or displacement is brought on and they suffer in silence, drifting along from bad to worse. For forty years Lydia E. Pinkhnm's Vegetable Compound ha.s proved a blessing to women in this condition, by restoring their systems to a normal healthy condition. Why don't you try it? Advertisement.

auirv among them discloses the fact

that they bring out all the natural beauty of their hair by careful shampooing, not with any soap or makeshift, but with a simple mixture by putting a teaspoonful of canthiox (which they pet from the druggist) in a cup of hot water and applying this instead of soap. This full cup of shampoo liquid is enough so it is easy to apply it to ail the hair instead of just the top of the head. After its use, the hair dries rapidly with uniform color. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear.

The hair is so fluffy that it looks much !

heavier than it is, its luster and soft ness are delightful. Advertisement.
