L. & S. THEATER

1.-THE Folly Of Desire" to be seen
at the L. & s. theater tomorrow night,
clearly shows in this interesting play
the master hand which gave to the
stage "Milestones" and "Ksmet.
That the play has gained in breadth
and atmosphere through its transfer
from stage to screen is the unani-
nous pinion Of those who have seen
it, and revelled in the quaint and re-
alistic Boer farm setting.
The story deals within young wo-
man who, like the Shumalite woman
of Scripture, married an old ma nfor
q home. The man is Boer farmer
of three-scoe and ten; he expects ser
vice almost reaching slavery from
iis young wife, Deborah. Yet withal
he is a religious zealot, and he reads
his Bible with a heavy slave whip ir
his hand.
To this strange household comes
young Englishman, driven from
home by a drug-besotted wife. He
awakens in Deborah desire for diff
ferent life, and in the books he gives
her, finds stolen pleasure. Her hus.
band tears up the books and Deborah
is saved from a beating only by hei
exclaiming: ''Would you kill wo.
man-and her child?"
The husband learns from the Eng
lishman's diary that this is not true
and vows to XII them both.
In one Of the strongest situations
ever staged, when the old man is
about to carry out his threat, he is
struck dead by lightning, and the eli
max brings to a satisfactory close 9
marvellous tale Of love and suffering
Of sacrifice and reward. such as j.
rarely seen. A master play produced
in masteYful manner.

the perilous position of the cotton

the cotton manufacturing industry OF

than most Of US realize. 1t emphasizes
with dramatic force the wisdom Of
Keeping to the constructive side Of

While the movement may not reach

The trend is toward accentuating

Bill into the middleweight champion

Stanley Ketchel in fierce encounter
on the coast.
After Papke had run his race and
stepped hack into retirement, Jones,
realizing that a championship meant
a whole Lotto money for fighter and
manager, began to cast about for
new one to boom into a title. Ad
Wolgast, then S35 preliminary boy
on the coast, caught Toms eye He
looked like he might be boosted into
something and Tom signed him up
Presto, the magic worked again and
inside of a few short monthes Jones
had matched Wolgast with Battling
Nelson for the worlds lightweight
title and stood by while Ad annexed
the big honor.
Remembering that Papke had prof
tied by having "Thunderbolt" hung
upon him, he nicknamed Ad the "Mich
igan Bear Cat" and it stuck.

game and its possibilities quickl.

Representatives Of the Bethlehem
Steel Company have confirmed the
sale to that company of the holdings
Of the old United States Sugar Cane
Company, in Cape May county, n J.
The tract is about 10000 acres and
extends from the inland waterway
on the east to Delaware bay on the
west, completely crossing the county.
Residents in the district have re-
ceived notices to vacate the houses
which they built on the property on
land leased from the sugar cane COM
pany. No announcement as to what
the ground is to be used for has
been made by the steel company.
which already has testing grounds
near Cape May.
The channel OF the inland waterway
is deep enough to float barges up to
docks which easily could be construct
ed. In addition. the company has OBJ
tanned several miles of beach on the
Delaware bay side OF its property, and
controls the riparian rights through
lease.
The property is bisected by two
creeks so close together that il would
be easy to construct a canal which
would give a passageway from Della

CONCORDFRIENDSSEEK
CLOSER BOND Of UNITY
Quarterly Meeting Takes Up
the Question OF Bringing
Branches Together
ALL OPPOSED
TO PREPAREDNESS

The two leading features OF the
Concord Quarterly Meeting OF Friends,
at West Chester. yesterday. we're
strong opposition to the increase Of
national ornaments and a desire for
closer unity between the different
branches Of Friends.
Notwithstanding the rain. there was
an unusually large attendance. and an
earnest spirit was unaffected through
out.
The first speaker at the devotional
meeting was Or. Jesse H. Holmes. OF
Swarthmore College. who made a plea
for firm faith and courage in the
Friendly attitude. Safety. he said. is
impossible In this worlds affairs, nor
is II a thing 10 be desired. The ele-
ment of danger is the charm OF any
sport or adventure. and none but a
coward will seek safety by sacrificing
principle.
Least Of all. he said. can safety be
found in military preparedness. citing
as support for mis- view the present
condition Of Europe. and the downfalls
OF the successive empires OF Assyria,
Babylon. Persia. Greece and Rome.
Daniel Bachelor pointed out that
in the last 1000 years empires have
followed one another into oblivion, but
the Christian challenge has stood firm
and unshaken.
Other messages we're delivered by
Charles Paxson. DR.. Edward L. Pal
mer. Eleanor Scott Sharpless and
Abel Mahan.
Morgan Bunting and Anna T.
Speakman conducted the business
meeting.
The seventh query called out strong
testimony against war and all incen-
tiVes thereto. The question OF "pre-
naredness' was discussed. and com
( munications from Washington show
ed that many legislators there are
perplexed and anxious to hear from
their constituents.
A memorial against present in
crease OF national armamonts was
agreed to and the clerks we're in
structed to send copies of it TO tho
Pennsylvania delegation in Congress.
