Mrs Castle as Roslyn Ayre has escaped from jail where she has been sent for another's of fense. She is recognized by a former fellow prisoner, who sees In the girl's prosperity an opportunity for black mail, and who enlists the aid of a gang of crooks to carry it out. Roslyn is an easy victim as she has fallen in love with a wealthy young man who would doubtless turn against her if he knew her past. The young man hears Roslyn in conversation with the leader of the gang and learns that she consents to aid the .crook steal the jewels of one of the guests at the house party. He watches that night, sees the croon ana the girl with baggage all packed for escape come down tho stirs, and then rushes out to confront them. What hap pens?

Bunker ONTARIO, OREGON Swift & Company Publicity At a recent hearing of the Federal Trade Commission there was introduced correspondence taken from the private files of Swift & Company, which showed that the Company had been con sidering for some time an educational advertising campaign. The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for sev eral years. The gross misrepresentation to which we have recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business relying on the fair-mindedness of the American people. The feeling against the American packer is based largely on the belief that the income and well-being of the producer and consumer are adversely affected by the packers' operations resulting in unreasonably large profits. Swift & Company's net profit is reasonable, and represents an insignificant factor in the cost of living. For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift & Company were as follows: S&lcs $875,000,000. HBHHHHHHH Profits $34,650,000. This is equivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500.
