Mary Fuller has not presented such
a charming picture in a twelve
month as she does in "The Huntress
of Men," a five-reel Universal drama
adapted by Catherine Carr from a
story by G. Vera Tyler and produced
at the New Universal studios at Fort
Ivee by Lucius Henderson. Miss Fuller,
who 13 supported by Joseph W. Girard
and Sydney Bracy, wears a gorgeous
crystal and jet beaded gown and, with
her hair piled high above her charm
ing face and figure, she make a pic
ture of unusual beauty. Miss Fuller
devoted a great deal of care to her
costuming in this picture which will
be released as a Red Feather feature
by the Universal.
"The Huntress of Men" is a type of
woman midway between a vampire
and a flirt. No "straight" actor could
be found on the Universal payroll
who possessed the proper cast of fea
tures to play the role of the man
whom the playwright chose to break
the spirit of "The Huntress." So re-.
course was had to Joseph Girard, the '
universal "villain, who was exactly j
the type to enact the part of Fleming ,
Harcourt, a dominant figure both
Ehysically and mentally. Harcourt
rings "The Huntress" to his feet in
a clever manner.

Who Will He Seen in Silks and Satins at Amide Today and Tomorrow.
ARC A DE
tional Association of Postmasters of
tho United States at their July, 1916,
convention, indicates that this import
ant reform is much nearer realization
than most people believe and that
next winter will see radical steps
taken toward this end.
In addressing the postmasters Gen
eral Burleson declared that thev are
giving the best postal service in the
world today, and that is what the
American farmer and business man
are entitled to, for thev nav for it.
He advised the postmasters to spare
no expense that means greater efficiency.
But that does not mean extrava
gance," said Mr. Burleson. "Where is
an official who will tell me that em
ployees useless to the service should
not be lopped off? I do not want to
be hard on postal employees. I be
lieve the government should reauire
only a certain number of hours work,
and that under sanitary and com
fortable conditions, at a salary not
only adequate, but generous. It is
my purpose and your duty to see that
all employees perform an adeouate
service for the money expended.
"iwery dollar intelligently saved
can be utilized for the improvement.
development and extension, of service,
resulting in a reduction in postage for
those served.
"Plans are being worked out for;
the solution of railway mail service j
jiuuieni5. iney are Deing solved in
a way that will enable the United
States to pay the railroads adequate
compensation lor service rendered
and pay only for service received. With
this result, if next year we can make
those using the second class mail ser
vice pay a one-half part of what they
should, we can go before congress and
tukt the first step toward penny post
age! "Tho fact that this year we have a
surplus of between $4,000,000 and $5,
000,000 demonstrates that at last the.
postal service is on a strong business
and self-supporting basis. If we can
keep down useless extravagance, we
can soon inauagurate one-cent post
age in this country."
This frank statement from the post
master general substantiates declara
tions which have been made during
the past year or two by officials of
the National One-Cent Letter Postage
."vasueiauon, wnien nas its headquart
ers at Cleveland, that with economi

leasonable adjustment of postal rates,

ii'i rent rates.
Nearly sixty bills were presented at
the present session of congress, call

( 1 representatives and senators have
been closely studying the matter and
liuvj become united in a conviction
that the time is ripe for one-cent nost-

but only recently brought to'tlie nt-

the United States net a profit to the

Far Better.
In a neat English village lived a to
bacconist named Farr. Now, this tobac
conist had a rival. Both wanted the
trade of the town. Farr, being a wit
devised a Blgn and hung It outside hla
shop:
"Best Tobacco by Farr."
The townsfolk, relishing a pun, flock
ed to his shop, and his trnde increased
at the expense of bis rival's business.
Now, his rival brooded and meditat
ed, consulted many books of ancient
lore, a Roget's Thesaurus and a rim
ing dictionary. One day his face was
seen to wreathe itself Into smiles. Gos
sip hovered expectant about bis shop.
The anticipations of the townsfolk
were not disappointed, for that very

Interesting Uses of Asphalt.
When the word asphalt Is mentioned
the first thing we think of is pave
ments and streets, but this interesting
substance bus found many other uses,
chiefly through the efforts of the chem
lsts employed by the asphalt compa

pounds devised by the chemists for
various purposes Is enormous. Some
uses are in shoemaklng, waterproofing,
vat linings, linoleum, driving belts,
rubber articles, cork flooring blocks,
