Me. Inquisitive" is this big bright number and it is a combination of wild happenings in a lady dentist's office and a motion picture showing the dream the patient had while taking gas. The idea is novel and the folk who present it are artists for fair. There's Earl Cavanaugfi, who plays the principal role, and who wrote both the sparkling words and interesting lyrics in the brilliant little musical comedy. Young Cavanaugh has likable personality and a different way of putting over his gay badinage, dif ferent steps in his dances and a dif ferent way In general from the "usual run of young men in musical comedies. Ruth Tompkins, a talented and pretty maid, plays the role of the lady dentist, assisted by a group of pretty girls who pose as office help. Mr. Cavanaugh has his tooth pulled and the business is really so genuine that.it creates gales of hilarity. The act Is smartly equipped as a study in black and white and the girls' frocks, are lovely. Jennie Middlevich, a dainty .little miss, with saucy demeanor and a big violin . ticked under her dimpjed chin makesthe whole audience her friends when once she plays for them. She selects the close-to-your-heart music and responds generously to insistent calls for more. Miss Middlevich plays with skill and temperament- John Rucker and Sam Winnlfred have returned with their darky and Chinaman altercation. . They used to fight over a laundry ticket, but this fight is about a bowl of chop suey. Their naturalness and the keen repartee win them big applause. Besides they sing and yodel and make a full measure of fun. Senator Francis Murphy Is a great card. He's full of his subject and' hi subject varies from war to doughnuts. The Senator is a riot, his individuality is emphatic and his philosophy wonder ful. 4 Two daring original dancers are Sam Burke and Lillian Broderick in dance creations of their own. They whirl like madcaps, leaping and somersault ing and never losing a step. The girl is a beauty, dresses artistically and abounds with pep. Closing the excellent bill are the three Keatons John, a comedian; Myra, who plays a saxophone, and Buster, born comedian acrobat. Their fun fast and furious and scores big. Recruiting of Additional Regiment Proposed Vancouver School for , Deal Loses Building. OLYMPIA,'Wash., Dec. 11. (Special.) Plan's of the State Military Depart ment to Spend $951,000 on National Guard recruiting and training In ac cordance with a . preparedness pro gramme, were returned to Adjutant General Maurice Thompson today by the 'State Board of Finance for revis ing down to a scale of $500,000. The Military Department asked for practically a 1-mill levy for defense purposes. The maximum allowed by statute for military use is twenty-one- one-nunareatns of a mill, which is the rate allowed by the State Board of Finance today. This levy will yield $395,000, which will be increased to pproximately $500,000 for the next two years by a balance of $100,000 now remaining in the military fund. supporters of increased state mili tary resources in additional men, equipment and armories generally, ar gue tnat the expenditure of nearly x.uuo.ooo in the coming biennium will be necessary to comply fully with the Federal National Guard act, but author ities in control of state finance believe that a sufficient showing can be made with the hair-million dollars that will be available. The recruiting of an ad ditional regiment, if possible, was an important item of preparedness. - In scaling down biennial admlnls trative expenses of the state for the coming two years the Board of Finance today .deducted $612,000 from the pro posed budget of the Board .of Control, the bulk of which was intended for new building's, . one of these being an enlargement at the State School for I'tiii ai Vancouver. - apeaiung ior tne Board of Finance, Governor Lister said no mere enlargements would be approved than the taxpayers . could comfortably afford to pay for.

Selling Pianos According to Grade: CORRECT GRADING, PRICING, SELLING is our claim in every advertisement and piano proposition made. The majority of makers' names are commercialized by manufacturing companies, who are trading with the names. How safe are you, then, when relying on names? Your Safety Lies in Correct Grading You are not willing to pay Mr. High Prices $110 more, or $475. for a first-grade piano, when you can buy that first-grade piano here for $110 less, or $365; or the second grade. $350, for $265, etc. Again, you are not knowingly willing to pay the usual, not advertised, 8 per cent charged elsewhere, when .WE DO NOT CHARGE INTEREST And that means additional saving of $73.21 on the $475 first grade, and that makes the first-grade piano cost you $548.21; when here you buy it for $365; or the second grade, costing you $350 and $50.37 interest, or total of $400.37, when we sell It to you for $265 on years' time and charge no interest. HOW CAN WE DO IT? It 19 'quite simple when you know how our lower factory prices and no Interest create about double the volume in sales, or, for instance, $20,000 in sales instead of $10,000 monthly, with overhead and all expenses (excepting the handling expenses) the same. You see the $10,000 additional sales and, therefore "volume,"-we know how to, and with the factory prices and no-interest inducement create this volume which makes it possible to sell at tne m LOWER PRICES AND.
