of the nation for war service, will aid

Mr.. Ten Eyck arrived from Washing

The plan is the ou.growth of joint

up his thread in the clinic. Malnutri-
ton comes in two styles. One is where
you're really sick; where you've sprung
a leak somewhere inside and can eat

Long, before the war DR.. Stark de-

found in New York schools. The

twenty-five Prime Cases Found
The doctor selected twenty-five prime
cases Of malnutrition offhand, and
forthwith organized the Food Scouts
Of America. That sounded good and
sort of took the proposition out of the
free lunch class.
Nevertheless three tentatively regis
tered Scouts didn't show up at all yes

cameras and the guests Of honor So
the experiment will probably go on
with just the twenty-one Food Scouts

Every weekday until three months
have passed the Scouts will get their
doses of disguised calores at noon. DR..
Stark aims to give them between 900
and 1000 at every meal, and if they
can scrape up 400 more in the two
meals at home he says that will be
plenty. Nurses will make weekly

are going behind the lines, and each
Scout is pledged to keep track in a

urged him to fight the duel, which re-
suited in his death
1t is said that the pistols used in the
picture are the same weapons which
were held by Aaron Burr and the man
whom he hated when the famous duel
was fought.
Arthur Ashley played Aaron Burr
and he was wonderfully we'll cast for
the part. In watching him portray the
willy statesman where implacable ha-
tired had been nursed for a quarter Of
century it was difficult to believe
he was really "The man who came
back" last season.
Evelyn Greeley is Margaret Moncricf,
who, inadvertently, is the cause of the
long standing fued between Burr and
Hamilton.
The story begins in the year 1777,
when Captain Hamilton. of General
Washington's staff, meets Miss Mon
Grief, WHO is the tiancee of Burr The
girls guardians objected so strongly
to her choice of a husband that she
was spirited away over night, and Burr
believed that she had been sent away
through Hamilton's influence.
1t was many years later when Ham
ilton met the fascinating Mrs. Reyn-
olds. who, however unwillingly, helped
to draw the net about him. Alexander
Hamilton is completely vindicated be-
fore his death, and he goes to the scene
of the tragedy resolved not to fire at
Burr.
The picture is historically accurate
and so. unfortunately history had to
repeat itself right to the end. But as
long as Hamilton had to die, why did
they not cast Mr.. Blackwell for Aaron
Burr? One would almost prefer see
ing him live scoundrel to seeing him
dead hero. H. U.

beginning, she expected the amount to
be ovcrsubscribed by the end of The
campaign, next Monday evening.
The announcement that brought
more applause from the workers last
evening than even Mr.. Perkins's glad
tidings was that made by the Business

more than one hundred working girls.
Mrs. Dawson urged the workers yes

ton.
"If the Interborough honestly wanted
men on its lines, it could get them"
said Mr.. Collins. "Bat it doesn't.
They seem to forget that by working
the men twelve hours they are vi
olating the ten-hour-a- day individual

ployes in 1915. It ought to be clear
