Published every ventng exeept Buodaj Gap Telephone SI; news II StarlighT By the Noted Author IDAH H'OLOM GIBSON I Trial Does Not Worry Comedian and Wife GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor and Publisher The Cement Trust - Highway departments of eight Mississippi valley states have declared war on the cement trust and refused to pro ceed the construction of $200,000,000 of highways until the cement price is lowered. Other states are to join them and extend the boycott. This is one way to bring a greedy trust to terms and about is failing to function against combinations in restraint of trade, under the new policy of "less government in business." There is no question of there being a cement trust, nation wide in its scope, any more than there is of being a paper trust, or an oil trust, or a steel trust, or half . a hundred other trusts. It is impossible to purchase cement in a com petitive market, because there is none for sale. Territory is allotted and prices fixed according to schedule and profits probably distributed pro-rata. Various branches of the cement trust have been prosecuted and convicted, in different parts of the country and punish ed by nominal fines and gone back to the old game of deceiv ing the public, r .Until extended prison sentences are provided as penalties for trust officials the anti-trust law will ac complish little'. ;: Under Attorney General Daugherty it is doubtful if there will be any new prosecutions and if there are, whether the guilty will not escape alter conviction through "confessions of error." 7 he Treaties .The United States senate will soon be called upon to ap prove or reject the four powers treaty and other interna tional agreements drawn up by the Washington conference Its action will settle the question as to whether the executive has any powers to arrange foreign relations as required by the Constitution, or whether the encroachments of the senate have not robbed the executive of all diplomatic power and definitely committed the United States to a policy of isolation. Rejection of the treaties, following rejection of the Ver sailles treaty, will destroy the confidence of other nations in the capacity and power of the United States to act in foreign affairs. It will be convincing evidence that our presidents cannot make agreements that will be ratified, and hence that the nation cannot be trusted. It will be final proof of the inability of the senate to grasp world affairs. It is true that President Harding will be reaping the har vest that Senator Harding help sow, if the treaty is rejected. Every argument advanced against the League of Nations applies with equal force against the pact of the Pacific. What was sauce for the democratic goose is also likely to be sauce for the republican gander. But it is more than a party or a national question it is It world issue. The United States cannot keep out of world affairs and the welfare of peoples depends upon our doing our share. The future of America, ho less that the future of Europe and Asia await American cooperation. Until it is forthcoming there can neither be peace nor disarmament, but chaos and disintegration will continue. Sooner or later America must discard her passion, pre judice and partisanship and return to her historical course, of world cooperation inspired by great ideals and lofty pur poses. The longer cooperation is refused, the more the danger of civilization's collapse. The sooner confidence in America is restored through America's doing her part, the better for humanity. The Paper Print Herb's Story Unconsciously I raised my eyes to the clock In front at me. It was half past ten. Between the happiness of the half-hour with Theodore Stratton and the excitement caused by Ria's letter I had forgotten to eat had forgotten that I was dead tired. I had even removed my serge skirt from over the evening dress that I had worn on the set, and my fur coat was lying in a heap on the floor' beside me. ! Wpftrllv T took nff th anion. the only practical way now that the Department of Justice, dor of my mock-Me and, slipped Into my nightgown, I put over It a kimono and looked for some thing to dine on. - There was bread and butter, condensed milk and coffee among the things I had brought from Ria's apartment, and ob, Joy, : found a glass of pickled tigs. . I wondered it Theodore Strat ton at bis club, or Ria and Herb in Santa Barbara, were any hap pier than I, sitting there at the little kitchen table and enjoying my meal. Hunger Is the best of sauces. I contented myself with sending a telegram to Ria and tumbled into bed. The next morning under flam ing headlines I read "Herbert Richardson Married Young. Millionaire Clumban Sec retly Marries Gloria Summers, Bgautlful Movie Actress. She De serts the Screen." And then, in more or less lurid description, there was the story of Ria's marriage and the Kitty Dalton episode. While the paper did not say anything outright, It intimated that Ria had brought Herb "up standing," after a drunk en party, and Insisted upon mar riage. It was a nasty. If very clever, story; one of the kind that would sell ' paper, and discredit the whole moving picture profession, and even though. Herb's friend Morton wrote It, evidently his newspaper instincts overcame-hia friendship. - "No wonder that Herb and Ria got out of the country," I told myself. what was coming. It certainly had made some sen sation, I found when I reached toe studio. I even heard De Vore say to one of his assistants: "That little girl Summers is all right. She Is clever. Of all the women who have had thefr hooks out for Richardson she Is the only one that even managed to get a bite from him. I'd like her back In moving pictures. She has got more brains than most of the wo men I have to work with." I suddenly remembered that Ria had told me how bard she had tried to get Job with De Vore, and I silently determined to break into the newspapers in some way as soon as possible. "Perhaps I won't have to," was my inward comment as I thought of my Impending engagement with Mr. Stratton. ine day paaaea very much as the other days, except that De Vore himself, singled me out with much vituperation when I stum bled and fell, spoiling "a number of feet of film. - "Go on back where you belong! I can't understand why casting directors burden me with awk ward people!" he shouted, and slunk into the background follow ed by a string of profanity. If I had not known there was a man of. big brain and splendid heart who would never upbraid a girl for something she could not help t am sure I would never have had courage to go Into another studio after the words director De Vore hurled at me. The mere thought of Theodore Stratton and what he stood for gave me strength to get tfirougn the door. It seemed to me that every girl on the lot came up and sympa thised with me, but I was chary of accepting It, especially as every last one of them ended by making some Inquiry about Gloria. Yes, Ria left today for the Orient. I was present at their wedding some days ago. Herbert has been wild about her for a long time and wanted to marry her, but she seemed to feel that she ought to keep on Mvith her profession." 'Her art: her art, you mean," interrupted someone sarcastically. "We must all think of "our art. you know." In the general laugh, I slipped Into the background and oh, how I wished that the day was over. The wonderful ballroom scenes that had seemed at first fairyland bad now degenerated into almost unbearable monotony. One thing pleased me. I was learning to dance! There seemed to bo an unconscious affinity between my feet and the rythm of the music. In fact, three or four of the young men asked me to dance, even after my mishap with De Vore. Yet I grew Inexpressibly weary. The cords in my legs were aching. I bad forgotten to bring my coat to th stage and after dancing the draughts rhilled me. It seemed to ma that I was ever under the baneful eye of De Vore. Twice he stopped the entity, movement of the picture to send me back be hind the others. He made every one understand that I w unac countably awkward; and yet i! caught a vision of myself in one of I ha mirrors on the set and knew ! i was i so, I sever thought that being a moving picture act reus would be Z.: Peace Officers Organize to Fight Drugs and Booze Investigation of -Alleged Trusts Is Called For Washington, Jan. 27.

Two factors stand out as strong arguments that the Takahashl Ministry will not live long past the present ses sion of Japan's Imperial Diet, which opened with the Prince Regent occupying the chair re served for the emperor. This was the first time tor many years that representative of the imperial house formally convoked the Jap aneee. . Congress, and It was pre dicted that it will be one of the mnof nnl nrfti 1 a aasm HI t od rtt ' ths They probably knew natU)nal body Japlia hM ever known. First, the assassination pt Ja pan's popular- premier has made the continued stay of the SelyU' kai Ministry in Office more doubt ful. Premier Hara was recogniz ed as the one man in all Japan who was able, because of his po litical adroitness and knowledge of men, to combine his followers and retain power tor his party. The lack of such leader is more strongly emphasized each day. Then there Is the Washington con ference. Come what may for Ja pan, the result of the conference will be utilised by those men In power in Tokio to overthrow the controlling political group. It Japan fares poorly so much the better for the Kenseikai and the Kokuminto, opponent parties to the controlling party today; if she wins the various points being dis oussed there will even then be found reasons why Japan appear ed in an unfavorable light before the delegates of the powers, and further argument will be used against the Takahashl group. In addition, there is the labor unrest, popular dissatisfaction against failure of the government to ex tend educational faculties at home and many other polnta which do not strengthen hopes the Selyu kai may hold for retention of po litical prestige. ' Count Uchida, Minister of Foreign Affairs, is re ported to resign. Premier Takan- ashi is holding the posts today of Premier, Minister of Fiance and Minister of the Navy. Under any circumstances there must be a great reorganization in the cab inet, which tew believe will leave the present group of control. Before he became Premier, Vis count Taksinashl, as Minister of Finance, bad made tentative plans regarding the budget. These fig ures, showing a slash of 100,000, 000 yen in the total expenditures to be mode for 1922-23, gives some indication of what Japan hopes to do in this period. The navy budgets have been cut, doubtless in preparation for ex pected naval arms limitations. The 1922-23 budget will call for the expenditure, of 1,463,000,000 yen. For the year ending the budget was 1,662,000,000 yen. This shows that there will be a saving of about- TOO, 000, 000 yen, even it the figures pass as they have been prepared, which la not at all sure. Figures In thousands of yen show how ffie expenditures will be alloted to each department of the Japanese empire's admin istration. These figures show a total of 1,000,00(1,000 yen, but 1,463,- 1922-23 479,000 287,000 4,500 23,000 162,000 67,000 37,000 67,000 275,000 this total is to be cut to 000,000 yen. 1921-22 Navy 499,600 Army 263,000 Imperial hse'old....4,500 Foreign office.. 26,000 (Finance 185,000 Education .... 56,000 Justice o'.OOO Agrl. and com... 55,000 Com'unications 2-65000 While this gives some indica tion of what wag requested by the various departments it fails to show, in the ease of the navy the extent to which Japan made ready for any naval disarmament cuts when they come to Washington. After the figures 'were prepared there was an announcement that the total to be given the navy would be at the most 393,662,577 yen, wtlch is roughly 106,000,- 000 yen lesg than what the navy was authorized to spend last year.
