Of nearly two seasons in New York.
Zoie is light-hearted bride whose
yearning for suppers and theatres
leads her uncompromising young hus-
band to abandon her. Her scheme to
get him back furnishes the situations
around which the comedy revolves.
After he has been away for some
months, Zoie causes his return with an
announcement that a baby boy has
come to the household. There is no
such thing, but Zoie proposes to get
one from a children's home.
But Alfred, the husband, played by
Frank Morgan, gets home sooner than
expected. There is no baby on hand,

Cumberland) who is brought into the
plot by Zoie, steals baby from the
founding home.

and, the first baby not having been re-
turned, Alfred is told that he is the
father of twins. The resulting COM
plications make all the fun.

City Managers Proved.

There are now 40 municipal officials
in the United States who are styled
"city managers" under the new COM
disadvantages form of government.
They are the professional chief execu-
tives of their respective municipalities,
each with appointive power over the
city's entire administrative establish
ment. They are not popularity elected,
but hired for reason of fitness and for
an indefinite tenure by a small elected
commission Of five local men. Cen
orally speaking, three years Of trial in
u variety of towns have proved that
the new plan furnishes battle-ground
for democracy that makes the un-
modified citizenry unusually effective
while the opportunity for expert ad-
ministration which it offers is usually
grasped.

Mans Duty to His Community.

The man who makes money in a
community has duty to perform to
that community. 1t may be that he
has made his money by his superior
business ability, and that he would
have done as well anywhere. That
does not alter the case. If his gifts are
great his responsibility is equally as
great. No man was placed on earth
for the sole purpose of making money,
and the man who has this as his ideal
had better never have been born. 1t
is not an act of charity, but the per-
Torrance of simple duty, for the

The death of many trees in the

largely due to atmospheric conditions,

Is chronic rather than acute. Its vital
lty is weakened and then the parasite
ends it.
Mr.. Stone declares that with the ex-
ception of the Austrian pine "practic-
ally all the conifers in Central park
are dying from the effects of atmOs-
pheric gases, and it is rarely that one
observes a Norway spruce anywhere
within the vicinity of New York that
Is not either dead or in state OF
deterioration" The bOtaniSt believes
that it is impractical to continue
planting cOnifers here.
Films, too, are comparatively easy

poison are visible in Riverside driye
and in Central park. But, as Profess
sor Stone remarks, many of the elms
were deplorable specimens to begin
with; not such fine types as are grow
ing in the Bronx.
The trees that best withstand gas
poison are the Norway maple, black
locust, ailanthus and linden.-New
