Washington, Feb. 1.—"Itinerant” injunction suits were filed yesterday by United -States District Attorney Gordon against eight men accused of violating the prohibition laws to pre- vent them from selling liquor, not only at their apartments, which were raided recently, but at any other lo- cation or on the street. The pro- ceedings, which never had been re- sorted to here before, were instituted, Mr. Gordon said) after the men ar- rested had threatened to carry son their liquor selling operations in oth- er parts of the city. Mr. Gordon also brought contempt of court proceedings against another man for alleged violation of a tem- porary injunction issued last week prohibiting him from selling liquor at his home after the “padlock” pro- | vision of the prohibition law had | been invoked. Prohibition agents since then have bought liquor from him, Gordon said. 'WOMAN'SHEALTH RESTORED She Claims Lydia E.

Good Manners No group of well-bred persons will converse at length on some theme from which one of their number, tirough “enfamiliarity with the sub- ject, is kept “on the outside.”” Even a single remark, if of a nature to give one of the party the impression of being ignored, should be explaind. Marriage A La Modé In certain American Indian tribes, it is customary for the bridegroom to pay, in blankets, for his bride Occasionally it occurs that, even after this transaction has been completed, the girl returns to her parents. ‘In such an- event the bridegroom must pay again. The family crest and tribal privileges never are conferred upon the husband until he has chil- dren. Then he becomes master in his own home. ‘Y. Ww. F A.

NEW MUSICAL SHOW—LYCEUM “Cluck-Cluck”, the new show being presented by the Marcus Show of 1023 at the Lyceum, is even more comical than that during the first three days of the week. Charles Ab- bot, the comedlan, who also writes all the song hits of the company,’ has one of the funnlest roles of his entire career. . This show presents an unusually clever oriental dancer who astonished the "audience with her ability. The quartet, who starred in “Old Fash- ioned Girl” earlier in the week, has another excellent number and the Olivers do another excellent accor- dian number. The eighth scene is ex- ceptionally good, being a roaring bur- lesque on a Reno court, with Abbot presiding as the judge. The accompanying picture is James Oliver Curwood's great novel, “The Man From Hell's River. It is a won- derful story of life in the great north- west, where strong men live by their strength alone.
