WESLEY BARRY LAST TIME AT PALACE Wesley Barry will be seen at the Palace tonight for the last two times in “The Printer's Devil,” which is a comedy from first to last, with a good love story, in fact two, and also thrills.

Harry Myers, star of “A Connect icut Yankee,” Katherine McGuire who rocently won a beauty contest and other screen favorites are in the cast. Jack Dempsey is seen in "West of the Water Bucket” which is one | of the best of the series “Fight and Win” pictures which has bo far been I shown at Hie Palace. There is all kinds of good comedy in this two rceler. FUNNY INCIDENT IN MAKING A MAN” Dignity upset is the greatest pro I ducer of laughs. For example, lhint< <f the everyday slip of the man n tlie banana peel or the dignified >!d gentleman, (lie top hat, tho snow : tail and tlie small boy. This fall of dignity accounts foi ; evcral humorous situations in “Mak ! ing a man” a Paramount picture 1 starring Jack Holt which will lie dis [played at tlie Coliseum theatre Sun ! lay. In tlie role of Horace (i. Wins >y, Mr. Holt is represented as e wealthy, snobbish and ultra dignifiei man; one who looks upon linnisell is a sort of monarch and regards Hit neighbors as beneath his notice ' Naturally, such a man is immensel) I unpopular. Perhaps tlie most laughable situa ion in “Making a Man” is the oc casion of Mr. Winsby’s plunge inti i muduole. As he leaves Ills home n tlie little town of San (Jeronimo Cal., to go to his office, he tells his i ihaffuer, that he will drive tlie eai I But tlie machine stalls in tlie cen i lor of a huge mudhole. His neigh | bors gather around, but because ! Winsliy is so unpopular, they re I fuse to aid him. Seeing some stones ; sticking above the surface of tHe ! unhide,Winsliy thinks lie has dis covered the way to reach dry land. Then there is a surprise.

Sweden's! working women have scored an lm-1 portent victory through the official! recognition by the Government ofi tiie principle of equal pay for men | and women in the employ of thej State. The recognition appears inj the form of a recommendation Mil)-, mitted to the Riksdag by Minister! of Finance Thorsson, along with thej estimate for the next State budget.; In justifying his proposal Mr. Thorsson points out that the civil service law virtually gives women the same privileges and responsl-l bilities as men, so far as the actual work is concerned, and it is only logical, therefore, that the salary ofj and given person should remain con stant, whether the service is ren-l dered by a man or a woman. What makes the victory for the' women the more striking 1r the fact that the budget estimate, in spit) of the strictest scrutiny of every Item, will involve an estimated ex penditure of $11,000,000 more thin last year. Tills means that, although no naw or Increased taxes are con templated, all hope for any early tax reduction must he abandoned. The Minister of Finance charac terizes the economic situation in Sweden us generally good. He looks for stable conditions during the next fiscal year and says that, if there Is any change, it is likely to be an improvement. FOG TAKES THE BLAME.
