A FTER studying the American
~ public for rs years there is
a = one salient trait which strikes
me in and out of season-the love
OF luxury. In these times this is
even more evident in contrast to
The war economies which are trying
to force themselves on the people.
And yet America, prodigal in its
resources, is prodigal in luxury. In
the sheater / have found the public
demands luxury, luxury, luxury. 1t
is the catering to this desire that
makes some of the most successful
musical comedy productions. The
Metropolitan Opera company-the
most expensive theatrical PROPOSE
ton in the world-has reached its
present pre-eminence chiefly
through the American demand for
the finest to be had.
It was this fact which decided me
on the biggest gamble of my career
as an actor-manager After pro-
ducing Bernard Shaw's "Misal-
lance" l was once more convinced
that the public must have some

P Are Hurt. Seriously, in Clash at
 Packer Plant.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 20.-One man was killed, two seriously injured, and twenty others were hurt when strikers at the Cudahy Packing Plant, five miles south of here, clashed with forty deputy sheriffs yesterday after adelphia, sent to Cudahy several days ago by Governor Phillips, has re- quested the governor to send three companies of state militia from Camp Douglas to cope with the situation. The militia is said to be on the way.
 The strikers had their first clash with deputies yesterday morning, when they stoned a train which they thought was carrying strike-breakers to the camp. This afternoon, while deputies were escorting girl employees of the company to the street cars, women in the crowd threw sand and pepper at them. A fusilade of shots followed, the deputies firing over the heads of the crowd One of the strik- CTS was taken to the emergency hos pital, where he died. Three deputies were wounded and taken to private homes in Cudahy.
 The walkOut at the plant took place a week ago, when the men demanded Michael Cudahy, president of the company, refused the plea, and closed the plant.

MARK GOES DOWN.
Orders DiScontinuance of Purchases
 in Holland and Denmark.

Berlin, Aug. 19, (By Associated Press. )-As a result of the continued downward trend of the German mark, the food controller has ordered the discontinuance of purchases in Hol- land and Denmark. While the action is ostensibly based on the pretext that supplies already under contract meet most urgent needs and that these sources of supply may be temporarily dispensed with in view of increasing arrivals of overseas shipping. official concern over the exchange situation is held directly responsible for the controllers order.

Turning Red Lights White

The first showing of 1.-THE
Finger of Justice" Rev. Paul
Smiths dramatic motion picture
triumph, was staged in San
Francisco, amid scenes and con-
ditions which writea spectacular
page in the book of motion pic
ture history. 1t was significant
that the first showing of his pic
ture, which will be shown at the
Strand, Theatre, Lambertville,
next Wednesday, should be held
in San Francisco. The film is
based upon Rev. Mr.. Smiths
successful fight that closed the
notorious Barbary Coast in the
far west metropolis.
Interest in DIR. Smiths fight
reached fever pitch when the
first public view of the film was
announced. The city fiocked to
see it. Powdered, painted and
perfumed habitues of thetender-
lon crowed their way into the
theatre. They jostled members
of the church. Vice sat side by
side virtue. Responsibility and
dishonor actually rubbed elbows.
Silently this strange audience
viewed 'The Finger of Justice. "
Swiftly the story sped on. The
audience sat spellbound. Then
as the closing scene faded out
and the lights were turned on,
the audience presented unique
psychological study.
1 Many eyes were wet. Painted
women wore scornful sneers-
that is, some did. Others were
openly crying. Rev. Mr.. Smith
stepped on the stage. THE real
crusade has just started" he
shouted. This picture is the
one weapon whish carries the
fight to every brothel in the ma
ton"
From a seat in the rear of the
house, Crane Wilbur, who por-
trays the role of the fighting
parson, leaped to his feet and
thanked DR.. Smith for the
privilege of being in the cast
Director Chaudet also voiced
his appreciation.
/ Then a thoughtful audience
passed silently out. Probably N
equally dramatic premiere hao
ever been staged.

Make offer of $209,615. for New
Hope Delaware Bridge.

! At a Meeting of the Joint Free
Bridge Commission in Phila-
delphia, Dec. Fl, it was decided
to make an offer for the LAM
bertville-New Hope Delaware
Bridge of S209,615. In making
this offer the Commission had
under consideration the report
of their engineers who valued
the property in 1916 at $135, 800
and in 1918 on the same basis
considering the increased cost
of labor and material at
$196, $50. These estimates
allowed some discount for de-
terioration and the offer was
made somewhat higher than the
estimate on this account. The
report under consideration also
showed that the net income
capitalized at six per cent would
indicate a value of the property
of $4,000 and that if the pre-
sent holders would pay off their
bonds It par and sell their sock
at $3.50 per share it would net
them $4,000 so that the offer
of the Commission is considered
a very fair one. The owners ask
for their property 100000.
At the same meeting the
matter of further legislation
was considered, it hlving been
claimed that thepresent statutes
Of Pennsylvania aid New Jersey
are not in harmony and do not
produce a workable condemna-
tion proceeding. And it was
agreed that Governor Brum-
baugh would Immediately take
up the question with the
Attorney General of New Jersey
upon the question as to whether
additional legislation was
necessary and if so, report to
the Commission statutes to be
introduced in both legislatures
this winter to settle the disputed
question.

The New Year.

It's here, here to do what you
will with it, here to make it
whatever you would please to
have 1.-THE New Year!
Whatever your rank or your
position in life, if the new year
doesn't look bright to you it is
largely your own fault. 1t is
given you as a new, white-page
book, and you may mark upon
it for good or for bad. The old
one is a closed book, and what
ever pleasures or sorrows it may
have held for you, remain alone
in your memory. The new year
is not going to be devoid of
happiness for you, and possibly
it will not be without it's cares.
1t will have both happiness and
pain but with you remains the
power to get out of il just as
much of either as you put in.
Insofar as this section is con-
ceTneQ, Cne new year appears 10
hold much in prospect. We start
it under vastly different con-
ditions than a year ago, because
we have better idea now where
our nation will be when the 365
days before us have rolled away,
Business in most lines will be
good, because it is fast getting
back to normal. Crop reports
tell us grains and fruits will
from present indications yield
bountifully. And there will be
demand that will make the
labor of producing them worth
while.
Possibly never has the ont
look for a prosperous year been
any brighter. Rla. individually
speaking, it is going to give
back to you in proportion to
what you give into it, and will be
largely what you make it.

Bridge to be Repaired

The condition of the center
pier of the two-span steel bridge
across the Alexauken creek at
the nothern city limits, on North
Main street, has become so dan
gerous that the board Of Free
holders have arranged with Con-
tractor T. w. Lee, building the
South Main street bridge, to add
reinforcements.
Several large steel Orders
have been hauled to the struct-
ure and will be placed in position
as soon as possible, as the disin-
tegration of the concrete top of
the pier has reached point
where the end posts of the
bridge frame are practically sus-
pended on air, the flooring
system alone having real sup
port.
When the repairs are COM
pleted the bridge will be perfect
ly again for it's full fifteen-ton
capacity, but for some time past
judging by present conditions,
it has been dangerous for heavy
vehicles.

SWORN IN BEFORE supERIoRs
Of Office Ahead Of Chief Execu-
tives Elected With Them.

More than once in our history the
vice president has been sworn and
indicted into Office sooner than the
president. This was the case of John
Adams who took oath and became
president of the senate and vice pres
ident Of the United States nearly a
month before Washington's first in
auguration; it was the case with
Willard Fillmore, who, it is said, took
the oath on Sunday, March 4 falling
on that day of the week in 1S49,
while Taylor, the president-elect, be-
ing a rigid Sabbatarian, did not per-
nit himself to be sworn until Mon
day.
1t is said that in 1877, when
March again fell on Sunday,
Wheeler, the vice president-elect
took the oath on that day, while
Hayes, having religious scruples, put
off the matter until Monday. OF
these cases, however, the most Pc
culiar was that of 1879, when, the
government having just been put in
operation, presented the curious
spectacle of vice president without
a president. At the time, however,
the matter seems to have attracted
little attention or remark, and is
now remembered only as a his
torical incident
