Red Cross Seals.

Few people have any conception OF
the magnitude of the Red Cross
Christmas Seal Campaign. Here are
q few figures that will show what a
gigantic movement this is. Already
25,OOO,0 900 Seals have been printed
and practically that entire number
distributed to agents in every state
and territory of the Union from Alas
ka to the Canal Zone, from Porto
Rico to Hawaii, and even in the far
off Philippines. Advertising circu-
lars, posters, cards, etc, to the num-
ber of several million, have also been
distributed. Not less than 100000
personal letters asking people to buy
Seals have been sent out. 1t Is esti-
mated that the army of workers,
nearly all of whom are volunteers, en-
gagged in selling the Seals numbers
well over 100000. The advertising
and publicity devoted to the cam
paign amounts to several hundred
thousand dollars. Every effort is be-
ing put forth to sell 100, 100000 Seals,
or only one for every man. woman
and child in the United States. This
will mean $1,000,000 for the anti-tu-
berculosis campaign in the United
States. Over $500 anti-tuberculosis
associations of the country derive
their support from Red Cross Seals.
If the good work is to go on, you
must help.

sun is so favorably known.
Three performances daily is the pro-
gram, the pictures being shown twice
at the matinee, before and after the
vaudeville, and twice at night, start
ing each separate performance.
AT THE DITMAs
Marie Doro will be seen at the
Ditmas today in the Jesse L. Lasky
production of ''The LASH" a vital
society drama written especially for
her by the noted writer, Paul West,
and prepared for the screen by
George Dubois Proctor.
For the story of THE Lash" Paul
West has selected q forgotten little
island, st. Ba'tiste, and the drawing
rooms of a fashionable society. The
little island where the first few scenes
of the picture are laid was settled
several centuries ago by some hardy
voyagers from Brittany and although
the rest of the world has advanced,
this island still retains the customs
and the religious bigotry of it's ances-
tors. The inhabitants are ruled by a
Perfect" whose word is absolute
law, and one of the customs Is that
any woman sacrificing her honor is
to be lashed by the Perfect" across
the shoulders with a heavy whip.
Miss Doro is seen as the daughter
of this Perfect" She falls in love
with a young chap from the outer
world who has been nearly drowned
and brought to her fathers house.
She goes to the mainland and they
are married. Later she is the idol of
fashionable society and an attractive
young widow attempts to take the st.
Ba'tiste's girls husband away from
her.
How the girl of the island applies
the law of her ancestors to this So
ciety butterfly and eventually wins
back her husband is brought about
in a manner which must be seen to
be understood and enjoyed. Miss
Doro is supported by a cast of un-
usual excellence, including such
prominent artists as Elliott Dexter,
James Neill, Veda McEvers, Ray
mond Hatton, Thomas Delmar, Jane
Wolff and others.

RETAINS CUSTODY
OF ADOPTED SON
Supreme Court Action of Mrs.
Gandorf FaiIs-Charge
Kidnapping Plot.

Frederick Miller, formerly of
Woodbridge, retains custody of his
adopted son, Edward, despite su-
preme court action instituted by Mrs.
Anna Gandorf to regain possession.
In passing upon the case in the New
York supreme court Justice Manning
said that inasmuch as foolish and ill
advised persons" had tried to get the
ear of the court when all parties con-
cerned were not before it, he would
refuse to hear the case and would
dismiss the writ sued out for the
boys custody. What was believed by
relatives to be an attempt to kidnap
the twelve-year-old boy, Edward,
here Sunday was frustrated.
Mr.. Miller and his adopted son
had been invited to spend Sunday
with the formers brother in law,
John H. Ling, at 223 First street.
While they were there an automobile
carrying Charles Gandorf and others
drove up. Inquiries as to the boys
whereabouts were made. He was in
the Ling home at the time and the
automobile party left without seeing
him.
Habeas corpus proceedings were
started Saturday in the supreme court
of Brooklyn, by Mrs. Gandorf, who
halls from Bridgeport, Conn, to Sc
cure the boy. The lad has been in
the custody of his father, Frederick
Miller, of 597 Myrtle avenue, Brook
lyn, since he was four months old.
Miller adopted him and gave him his
own name, but Mr.. and Mrs Gandorf
alleged that the adoption was Illegal
on the ground that they had had no
notice of 1t. Mrs. Gandorf said she
merely left the child with Miller's
wife. now dead, for safekeeping.
Miller claims to be the real as well as
the adopted father of the boy.

Public Utilities Commission
Hears Testimony at Hear.
in Newark Yesterday.

Action in the city's fight to obtain
better gas service from the Perth

yesterday, they are intending to raise
the standard of pressure, and they
say that they cannot raise the stand
ard of quality, SO that all sections OF
the city will receive adequate hght
and heat from the gas for all uses.
The gas company officials declared
that they have tried to have the stor-
age tank erected. but that because OF
the labor conditions and the high
price of the necessary materials, that
they are unable to erect 1t at the
present time. The opinion was ex-
pressed by city officials that the com.
mission would see the city's point OF
view, and will compel the company
to proceed with constructive methods
so that the service will be bettered
with as little delay as possible.
The conditions, not only In the
northwestern section, which seems to
be most affected, but in sections
almost adjacent to the plant Of the
