Rufus Wallingford and G. Horace Daw who descend upon Battlesburg, a Middle Western town, to fleece its citizens by means of hare-brained schemes. They find the town ultra conservative but gradually the magnificent suavity of the crooks wins over the citizens and they "invest" generously. Wallingford and Daw, of course, have no intention of carrying out their so-called manufacturing projects, but their industry starts a real live boom and Battlesburg makes tremendous progress.
Saw Hardy is seen as Wallingford and is supported by Norman Kerry as "Blackie" Daw and Doris Kenyon as Fannie Jasper.

CENSURES WOMEN
FOR COSMETIC USE
I EVANGELINE BOOTH OF SALVATION ARMY DISCUSSES PAINT AND POWDER.
San Francisco—(A. P.)—Women who powder their noses, touch up their hair with a bit of golden glint or add the bloom of youth to their cheeks are positively dishonest.
Evangeline Booth, national commander of the Salvation Army, declared while here recently.
Women use "make-up" to deceive, Miss Booth said. "A woman has no right to fool the world," she added. "The woman with blazing cheeks, in deep eyes and carroty hair is a cheat."
Many divorces are caused by the fact that women have attempted to deceive their husbands regarding their appearance, she thinks. Man, she added, wants women as nature intended they should be.
