A man can get a heap more
satisfaction from a small chew
of this class of tobacco, tvan
he ever could get from a big
chew of the old kind.
He finds it costs less, too. The
good tobacco taste lasts so
much longer he doesn't need
to have a fresh chew nearly
as often.

Kelly, of Pennsylvania, Speaks
For Protection Provision in
New American Tariff
Washington, May 23 Unstinted
praise of the provision in the emer
gency tariff law which protects the
dyestuffs industry of the United
States is voiced by Representative
Kelly, of Pennsylvania. He says:
"This provision in the emergency
tariff bill concerning dyestuffs and
chemicals is recognition of the fact
that we are on the verge of a new
age. We have had the stone age and
the iron age and are now in the elec
trical age. Just ahead is the chemi
cal age, and with an enlightened pol
icy America will be the leader of the
world in its accomplishments.

basic material in the chemical world.

be one of the most valuable products
in the world.
"Now in the new ovens it is being
conserved and used for a thousand
uses. Coal tar is the essence of the
forests of by-gone years. It is one
of the strategic products for war and
peace. It wounds and heals. It sup

"Every ton of coal produces 120
pounds of tar. Out of the tar comes
10 crude oils, which are converted
into 300 secondary products or "In

There are todav at least a thousand
separate dyes produced from coal tar.
The entire business has been
dominated by Germany. The man
who first made a dve from coal tar
was an English chemist. In less than
two years Germany had a complete
monopoly of its production.
"When the war broke out we were
importing nine-tenths of our dyes
from Germany. Only seven firms and
528 persons were employed "in the
dve industry in the United States.
Cut off from our supply by the war,
we suffered greatly."

PREFERENCE FOR
SOLDIERS
Washington, May 23. Senator
Gooding of Idaho, the new Republi
can colleague of Senator Borah,
would help the American soldiers
who participated in the war against
Germany by putting through Con
gress a bill to give preference right
of employment on construction work
on United States reclamation work
on United states reclamation pro-
jectst to honorably discharged sol
diers, sailors and marines.
The Gooding measure provides
"That not only men, but also wo

"So Long Letty," at Star
m Saturday, Is Full of "Pep"
One of the best comedy-dramas oi
the screen is "So Long Letty," the
Robertson-Cole super-special which
will be shown at the Star theater
Saturday. Adapted to the silver sheet
from Oliver Morosco's famous and
successful stage play of the same
name, "So Long Letty" appears to
better advantage on the screen bo
cause of the wider scope of the cam
era. Al Christie, producer and director
of "Letty," is pleased to believe that
the screening of the comedy-drama is
the best work of his career. Aside
from a number of bewitching bathing
girls who did not waste any material
when making their bathing suits, Mr.
Christie has selected four excellent
artists to play the principal roles.
They are T. Roy Barnes, Grace Dar
mond, Colleen Moore, and Walter
Hiers.
The story of "So Long Letty" has
to do with swapping wives, dis
gruntled husbands,- home cooked
meals, Paris gowns, cabarets, ging
ham dresses and sardines. Likewise
it teaches a lesson to perpetually dis
satisfied individuals.
em Methods of Sleuths
Hahky T. Morly Learns How
Sleuths Work and Gives
a Few Pointers
Before commencing work on "The
Flaming Clue," which will be shown
at the Star theater Wednesday and
Thursday, June I and 2, Harry T.
Morcy consulted a famous New York
detective. After a brief interview
Mr. Morcy became apprenticed to
this crime detector for the period of
24 hours. He learned all the ins and
outs of the profession, including the
use of false skin, finger print detect
ors, sound magnifying disc, suction
climbers, pocket periscope and suu-
terranograph.
The detective gave Harry Morey a
merry chase that day, and the star
found it hard to keep up with his
teacher. They shadowed persons on
- ' Broadway, climbed buildings on the
'are;
compartments, all of which are remov
able to motor trucks at the destination
through the uso of electric crnnes. The
mall must now lie iiortort and routed
from tho starting point, and does away
with a groat deal of tho detail work on
the mall cars as fonnorly. The plo
turo shows tho first car arriving at
Chicago from New York and a compart
ment being removed to a waiting motor
truck.
