Every act on Pantages' new bill Is
so- deserving of especial praise that It
is difficult to know where to begin,
once the headliner is discussed.
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.

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. NO INTEREST MW
Then, too. Instead of the selling of old and unimproved models, we furnish you our
60 per cent more tone and efficiency 1916, and now 1917, models with all up-to-date
improvements. -
