Witness: Blanché Sweet, Lois Wilson, Ben Lyon, Dorothy Sebas- tion, Diana Kane and Sam Hardy, and many mors. "Bluebéard"s Seven Wives" is one of the most original things ever aec- complished in the comedy line. The picture gets its title from the ex- ploltation stunt 'evelved by.a mo- tion picture press agent (Sam Hardy) to make_his young movié star (Ben Lyon) a popular sénsa- tion. The comedy is fast through- out and there is a beautiful Romeo and Juliet scene enacted by Lyon and Blanche Sweet. It is more than worth while seeing; it is too good to be missed. RURAL POSTMASTERS PACE LOWER REVENUE Situation Created by Two- cent Postage to Be Reviewed. Ottawa, May 7.--Answering « question in the House of Commons yesterday, respecting compensation for rural postmasters after the in- troduction of thé two cent stamp on July 1st, Hon. Ernést Lapointe, Min. ister of Justice, made the following statement: : "It is realized that the adoption of the 2c letter rate on the 1st of July next will result jn a substantial de- crease in the revenue of rural post offices. As rural postmasters are paid on a commission basis. there would be a corresponding decrease in their salaries, unless their rates of compensation are increased. As postmasters' salaries are based on the revenue of the previous year, 2c postage would not affeet their salaries in any event unti] 1927. In the intarval, the question of an upward revision of the rates of compensation of rural post- masters will receive sympathetic con- sideration by those who are charged with the duty of fixing the rates."

Entering Burns' house about 11 o'clock, Roberts yelled: "Now I have you," and began to shoot. One bullet stryck Burns in the lower abdomen and plowed its way into the thigh. Apparently the demented 'man then headed Tor the switch house where he met another employee named Craig, at whom he fired three shots, none taking effect. Robérts was arrested about one o'- clock this morning. If blood-poison- ing does not set in, Buras is expect- ed to recover.
