Great Success.
What has proven to have been one
of the best events ever pulled off for
the boys in Bennington came to a
close last week when the grammar

season the league was marked by the
everlasting spirit of cooperation on
the part of the teachers and never
ceasing enthusiasm on the part OF
each pupil a great part of the sue
cess of the first Grammar School
League ever attempted here must be
given to the class room and team
spirit shown by the sixth, seventh and
eigth grades. Every class team was
supported by their classmates and
While the boys were on the playing
floor the girls cheerod them with their
class yells, in the gallery. There were
seven teams entered in the league
from the three upper grades. All OF
the forty-two games were played at
the Y NJ c. A. Without the cooper
alton of the high school boys in Off
ciating and running the games off on

nave been possible
The management of the grammar

tend many thanks for the cooperation
and enthusiasm on the part of every
one taking part in its welfare
The 0nal standing of teams at the

Ruth Stonehouse, who is starred in
the Universal feature production
"Constantinople by the Sixth" wore
boys clothes during most of the max
ing of the film play. and one morning
she came to the studios and forgot
the proper shoes from her Hollywood
home.
The dainty little actress was wear
ing the suit of clothes, so she jumped
into her machine and started on
dash for the missing shoes. She was
bowling down Hollywood Boulevard
at a rate of thirtyseven miles an
hour, when a motor policeman dashed
up alongside and she found herself
enmeshed in the throes of the law.
The officer asked her the name and
she replied, Ruth Stonehouse," but
she had hard time convincing the
policeman she was really a girl.
The following morning, while work
ing at Universal City she recalled she
was due in the police court to answer
the summons and she started away
to court wearing the boys clothes, so
at the police station the officer was
waiting and escorted her to the wo-
mems court, and there she created an
other sensation as the woman judge
insisted she should go to the other
court. After additional explanations
by Art Flavin, her assistant director,
Her Honor" took the whole matter
as a joke and dismissed the actress.

California politicians have come to
the conclusion that the Los Angeles
motion picture colony was a very i'm
portant faction in the reelection OF
Wilson. Inquiries among many of
the people of the screen since the
election brought out the fact that the
players supported Wilson because of
the action Of the United States Su-
preme Court, of which Hughes was a
member, in UNFOLDING the Kansas and
Ohio censorship boards. Hughes was
one OF the judges who rendered the
verdict against the Mutual Film Cor
poration. when appeal was made
from the censors of these two states
by that corporation. 1t is believed

DISCUSS PAY FOR
SERGEANT RAY
Board Of Health Wants to
Make Up Salary Of En-
ployee on Border
AWAITS OPINION
OF CITY SOLICITOR

Members OF the Board Of Health
yesterday afternoon discussed the
question as to whether Henry G. Ray,
an executive officer now doing duty
as a sergeant with the Delaware mi
iitia at Deming, N. NJ should re-
ceive any salary from the city. Ser
geant Ray, who received SIS a month
from the city. is now receiving S17
a month from the government and
the health authorities are desIrous Of
paying him the difference in salary he
receives from the government and
what he formerly received as a city
employe.
Several weeks ago the board sent a
communication TO Council on the sub
ject and this was referred to City
Solicitor Daniel o. Hastings. Council
man Oscar c. Draper Of the finance
committee OF CoAncil contends that
until this opinion is received. moth
ing can be done in the matter
Other city employees in the service
are commissioned officers and viii
receive as much or more from the
government as they did in salaries
from the city. In view Of the fact
that employees of most of the bust
ness concerns in the service are al
lowing such differences. Dr. Freder'
lck, president Of the Health Depart
ment thinks that the city can do tue
/ same.
Just what the Board OF Health pro
posses doing Is not known, but II Is
expected that early action will be
asked OF Council.
Sergeant Ray was assured that his
position would be open for him when
he returned, and while u is being
temporarily filed. the Health Depart
ment does not consider that this
should serve to deprive him Of his
pay.
