fJUFTON, OF LAFAYETTE, MAY BE DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT OF ELLIOTT
CONNERSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 19. That Fayette county may-have two candidates for congress is indicated by the boom that has been started for James A. Clifton, mayor of Connersville, as a candidate for the Democratic nomination. His name has been mentioned frequently and his friends over the district have been busy in his behalf. In speaking of the reports today, Mr. Clifton stated that he is not an active candidate at the present time, the matter of furthering his candidacy being entirely in the hands of a number of his closest political and personal friends, who have suggested him for the place. "I am not an active candidate for the nomination," Mr. Clifton said. Some of my friends, it seems, have been advocating my making the race, and, although I have made no decision to announce my candidacy, I do not feel inclined to protest against their action. The sentiment of the voters of the Sixth district will decide the matter, I am sure." Mr. Clifton has been making a number of visits to various parts of the district recently due to the fact that his services as a speaker have been much in demand. At a recent speech in Union county, before the Jefferson club, he was honored by a unanimous resolution urging him to be a candidate for representative. Interest is also being shown in other parts of the district, it is said, and his nomination next May will not be a surprise. j The Theatres MURRAY "Who am I?" a new National picture, is the attraction at the Murray theatre. The production i3 an elaborate and highly dramatic screen rlay with the element of suspense predominating. The story tells of the efforts of a young and beautiful girl to discover the identity of her parents. One day her search comes to an end, but this only tends to complicate matters, ior it i3 revealed that her father was a professional gambler, and the girl has fallen heir to his establishment, and also to some heavy debts incurred by her father. The situation of an innocent girl suddenly thrust among the class of people that frequent houses of chance is a most critical one, especially when a keen, unscrupulous gambler marks her for his own. How she extricates herself from the danger that impends and gets on the road that leads to future happiness is presented in a man ner that immediately creates interest and sympathy and holds the attention of the spectator until the end. Henry Kolker directed the production, which has in its cast of players Claire Anderson, Niles Welch and others of prominence. Katherine Reed adapted the story to the screen from an original one bv Max Brand. MURRETTE Although his name does not appear on the screen when the production is shown at the Murrette theatre, Captain Cylde Balsley, the famous American ace, was an important factor in the production of "The Beautiful Liar," Katherine MacDonald's latest Associated First National feature. Captain Balsley some months ago 'tiarried Miriam MacDonald, the youngsister of "the American Beauty," and has been of invaluable aid in the production of Katherine MacDonald features. Balsley wears the tiny buttonhole ribbons of the Croix de Guerre and the Medaille Militaire, and was a member of the famous Lafayette Escadrille, the air fleet of the French army in which were a large number of American flyers even before America entered the war. Captain Balsley was wounded during the battle of Verdun while engaged in a fight with several enemy planes. An explosive bullet injured him so severely that it was thought he would never recover. For more than a year he lay in the American hospital just outside Paris and after undergoing 15 different operations has been restored to normal health. RICHMOND When screen stars are required in the performance of their roles to battle for the preservation of their lives, honor or personal rights, it is often done listlessly, but seldom so in Paramount pictures. The invariable rule of the Paramount directors is to be realistic, so that whoa a fight is scheduled by the story, it is a real battle' and no make-shift affair. Thus it happened that when Agnes Avres, Paramount star and featured t-Javer wMh Rudolph Valentino in BEAUTIFUL HAIR WASH You can enjoy a delightful shampoo lvith very little effort and for a very fining cost, if you get from your drugget's a package of canthrox and dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. Your shampoo is now ready. Just pour a little at a time on the scalp and hair until both are entirely covered by the daintily perfumed preparation that thoroughly dissolves and removes every bit of dandruff, excess oil and dirt. After rinsing the hair dries quickly with a I'luffiness that makes it seem heavier than it is, and take3 on a rich luster and a softness that makes arranging it a pleasure. Advertisement. (J Lb.

The Case of Alaska By FREDERICK J. HASKIN
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. That thd resources of Alaska are not being properly developed, and that the meth ods and conditions of federal administration in that territory are in part responsible, is a statement which has been emphatically made in connection with the proposal to take the bureau of forestry out of the department of agriculture and place it in the department of the interior. This, of course, would give the in terior department control of the great national forests in Alaska, and would make the department the chief federal arbiter of Alaska's industrial destiny, as the interior department already has the administration of other public lands in Alaska. - Curiously enough ,the conservation ists in and out of the forest service, who are all opposed to the transfer of the forest service, agree with the opponents that Alaska is in a bad way industrially and that federal administration is in part the reason for this. These conservationists claim that the move to place the Alaskan forests under the administration of the department of the interior, is part of a general plan for the abandonment of the Roosevelt conservation policy in Alaska, and for a freer use of her natural resources. Such a policy is demanded by many persons financially interested in Alaska, and a vigorous lobby in favor of such a policy has long been maintained in Washington by such interests. These interests say that Alaska is not developing and that the federal policy of careful conservation is responsible for the lack of development. The conservationists agree that Alas George Melford's magnificent production of "The Sheik" which is the feature at the Richmond theatre, was directed to fight four Arabian slave girls "for all she was worth," she obeyed orders literally, the result being a scene of intense realism seldom seen in any motion picture. "It was lots of sport," said Miss Ayres the next morning. "But, oh, today! I feel as if I'd been through a cyclone. Those girls were all stockily built and all four clung to me at once and I had to throw them off. I assure you I haven't any idea just what I did I was told to fight and that's all there wag to it." This is only one of many realistic scenes In this superb production. There are many thrilling moments in the action, a desert sandstorm, bat tling Bedouins and nagnificent Saharan scenes. The picture is based on E. M. Hull's novel of the same name which created a literary sensation both in this country and in England. WASHINGTON STOCK. In presenting "Smooth as Silk," the powerful melodrama by the nationally known author. Willard Mack, wl.o has a score of big successes to his credit, at the Washington theatre ail next week. Manager Gruenwald has secured a play that is one of the most unusual of its type that has ever been a Broadway sensation. While it conies under the general classification of the so-called crook play, it Is as far from the general run of these dramas, in view of the manner,in which the author has developed its story, as one could possibly imagine. The action of the play revolves about a band of clever crooks and deals with their lives, their relationship to the police methods of the present day, and their efforts to play the name of life as they see it. Written by a man who has been indefatigable in his efforts to dig into the true side of this phase of our national ex istence it may be accepted as a remarkably true picture of this other world. Many stage writers have explored the realms of crime as subjects for the drama. Willard Mack, author of "Smooth as Silk," succeeds where so many have failed because of his appreciation of the big human elements that play in this side of their existence, and through his master ability to draw the real picture so that it forms a gripping, convincing and logical stagu story. While all of the so-called "color" or "atmosphere" of this- sitio of life is present in the drama, ther: is none of the offensiveness, that is so often regretfully present in such plays, evidenced in "Smooth as Silk. It is a wonderful presentation of facts from which something that is worth while is drawn. a 1 1 ia n m

This is hindered, they claim, to some extent by the long-range methods of federal administration, which should be abandoned in favor of administration on the spot, but mainly by the fact that Alaska is far from market's and has poor transportation facilities. Our Last Frontier - The great American public Is indif ferent to and ignorant of the whole ; matter. That is. in a sense, the most serious and unfortunate part of, the situation. Alaska is the last American frontier. Ninety-nine per cent of the area is public land. It is almost the only part of the territory of the United States where 'true pioneer conditions still obtain that is, where the indi vidual may obtain land and other natural resources free or at nominal cost. Such a frontier country should be a valuable overflow land for our excess population, as the frontier west long was. Alaska should be the haven of the hardy and adventurous man who has no capital, but wants a chance to win a place of his own on the face of the earth. To some extent Alaska has been that, and to some slight extent perhaps it still is. But this last frontier of ours is certainly not functioning as it should. No doubt a harsh climate in many parts of it has something to do with it. Also, there is not a great deal of farm land in Alaska, and the establishment of a profitable farm there is a difficult business. The one-man placer mining is largely a thing of the past. All ob servers seem agreed that the development of Alaska is largely a task for organi7ed capital. It never will be the land of individual opportunity that the old west was. But it is far more a land of individual opportunity than the greater part of the states, and should be even more so than it is. There is rich land to be taken up. Fur farming is a profitable business there, and one where little capital is needed Small capital has many chances in to say, conservation favors the development of Alaska as a placs where the "little fellow" has a good chance, and the demand for a less strict conservation policy springs chiefly from men of large capital. The timber on the national forests of Alaska can be cut, but only under forest supervision, so that they are not destroyed. They are being cut, and at the same time being conserved to fur nish the paper supply of the future for the United States. Without any federal restriction they could undoubtedly be exploited more rapidly and more profitably for the men doing the exploiting, but it is claimed by the conservationists that- such exploitation the people of the United States as a whole cannot afford. Alaskan Wealth Accessible. The coal and oil in Alaska were, under the last administration, Ions withheld from public entry. Now that DON'T BE BALD How to Make Hair Grow Strong, Thick and Lustrous. If your hair is thinning out, don't wait another day, but go to A. G. Luken Drug Co. and get a bottle of Parisian sage, the truly efficient hair grower. Don't say: "It's the same old story; I've heard it before", but try a bottle at their risk.. They guarantee Parisian sage to stop falling hair and stimulate a new growth, banish all dandruff and almost instantly stop scalp itch, or money back. Parisian sage contains just the elements needed to properly invigorate the hair roots. It's a prime favorite with discriminating women because it makes the hair so soft and lustrous, and appear twice as abundant. Parisian sage is inexpensive and easily obtainable at all drug stores.

"The biggest question for women now is not how to open up more occupations for wo&ien, but how to open the way to executive positions," is th idea of Miss Mary Van Kleeck. formerly director of the Woman's Bureau of the department of labor, Washington, and raw head of the industrial lesearch of the Russell Sage Foundation. Miss Van Kleeck believes that business opportunities came to women from the change in business methods more than from a few women knocking at the doors and pioneering in, the profession. the coal and oil leasing bills have been passed, these resources may be doveloped under tne new laws, which are certainly lenient enough.

The production of gold has dropped 45 per cent since 1916. and the nuniber of men employed in placer mining has been cut in half. Government interference, conservation and red-tape are brought forward by one side of the controversy as the cause of it all. "Give us a free hand to do anything we like with the resources of Alaska, and we will make the land hum," say the business men.
