The attitude of George Jean Nathan low
ard the drama is not unlike that of a foo+har
coach toward his players on the eve Of tb.
Yale game. We have always felt that hi,
recorded scorn and contempt for prac,.c,a.
everything done in the theatre was less d.
expression of opinion than a studied atten,n.
to irritate players and playwrch into mas
ter feats. We do not think anybody in ~.

his judgment about plays if not of PLAYERS
There is much shrewd comment in his new
book, Comedians All" ((Knopf). but NOTHING
wiser or more to the point than his para

he says

without learning, without viewpoint. without
philosophy, without courage; in short a

estimate of Madeira; it is either good or bad.
There is neither such thing as fair art nor

more than that, if our mind is "just bit

A Link in Il Chain

Now 1t comes TO U.S. and the greatest
thing, I say about belonging to a great
university is that one is but one link in a
chain which extends from the far dis
tant paths into the indefinite and greater
and greater future the time goes on
Now. what is the American people going
to do about its universities? Does it care to
have its youth educated to the highest point?
Do we care to be great people in thought?
Do we for the moral life of our people?
Look at what was done in this last war
Look at the way our young men came for
ward, and look at the way in which the
young students all over the United States
came forward. They were the first as

Is not pleasant thing to stand in front of

mine going through one afternoon where
there was a mob, and he said IN front of
him there were four special police with
nothing but batons. They were not draw

there, looking very pale, in front OF mob
that was throwing things at them.

football men, who nauled by the mob,
but did not draw his gun. remember

'7fT FlF' -FF STANDARD OIL DENIES
 EXCESSIVE PROFITS .et MADE BY COMPANY
President of the Company Says That the Concern is Not
 Afraid of a Federal Probe

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11.-"All of the affairs and business of the Standard Oil Company of California will bear the closest scrutiny and in vestigation," K. R. Kingsbury, presl- dent of the company, said when ad- vised that an investigation of inter ests of the company by the Federal Trade Commission had been sought in Congress by Senator Miles Poin- dexter of Washington.
 "The prices for the products of the company have advanced as a result of existing economic condi- tions, due to the great war-the great ly increased cost of all labor and of all materials-just as has the price of everything else" MT. Kingsbury said
 "In stating that there was no com Poindexter overlooked the Union. As sociated Shell, General Petroleum and other companies, all of which are in active competition with the Stan dard Oil Company, and so far as l know, with each other
 "The conclusions drawn by the Senator from the company's financial statements are misleading. Our divi- dends for the past three years have been as follows:
 Ten per cent in 1916, ten per cent in 1917 and twelve and fiive-hun- dredths per cent in 1918. There was also a stock dividend in 1916 and 1917, but these dividends were simply the distribution to the stockholders of undivided profits of the company accrued during considerable period of years
 The sum of $44,000,000 given by the Senator as the profits for 1918 were the gross figures without any deduction for depreciation and de pletion. amounting to about s10,OG0,- GOO, and also without any deduction for state or income or excess profits taxes, amounting in round figures to S20, 900, ,000 As a matter of fact, there was left for profit from the 1918 operations of the company about S15, ,000 ,000, or about twelve and per cent on it's invested capital"

SALTS IF BACKAChY
 AND KIDNEYS HURT
Stop Eating Meat For While if
 Your Bladder is Troubling You

When you wake up with backache an ddull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a we'll
 known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the
 blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your
 kidneys get sluggish and clog you
 must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the
 body's urinous waste, else you have
 backache, sick headaches, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is
 bad you have rheumatism twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sedi.
 ment, channels often get sore, wa ter scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times dur ing the night
 Either consult good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of
 lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in
 glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid oi
 grapes and lemon juice, combined
 with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate
 sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
 acids in the urine so it no longer
 irritates thus ending bladder weak ness.

DANGEROUS PRACTICE

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Frank A. Nanderlip in the Tribune, charac- terizes as a dangerous tendency on the part of town banks to lend sev- eral hundred million dollars on call in New York, as unlike New York banks. the interior institutions feel no responsibility toward the stock market in times of distrust. Al though the tendency started some years ago. it has developed rapidly in the last two years, especially while the money committee was ir existence, which virtually guaran' teed the liquidity of call loans- MT Vanderlip says that the Federal Re serve Board might well take stepi to curb the interior lending.

ADJUSTMENTS
The Broad

Manager Schweiger, of the Broad
theatre, has secured a great new serial
to start next Thursday. 1t is "The
Red Glove with Marie Valcamp as
the star. The serials at the Broad are
always popular as witness the enthu-
siasm over "The Man of Might"
which is being shown every Tuesday.
On Wednesday the great Thomas H.
lnce production, "The Midnight Pa
troll" will be shown. This is a Won
derful picture and will be a rare treat
for all patrons. The whole bill for
next week is exceptionally good.
There are such radiant stars as Car
lyle Blackwell, Evelyn Greeley.
George Walsh, William Duncan, MAY
Allison, Marie Valcamp, Florence
Reed, Harold Lockwood and FATTY
Arbuckle. Besides they always have
good, wholesome comedy to create
laughter and good cheer, current
events, Ford and Hearst Weeklies.

The Palace

Manager Schmerin, of the newly
opened and refitted Palace Theatre, at
Franklin and Main Streets, desires to
extend his sincere thanks to the
people of Penns Grove and vicinity
for the generous patronage they have
accorded him the past week and gives
the assurance that he will strive in
every way to merit it's continuance.
His program for the coming week is a
fine one and embraces all the leading
moving picture favorites that YOU will
see in any frst-class house. The ser
ial to begin next Thursday called ''The
Liberator," is beyond question one of
the greatest pictures that has ever
been secured. "Maciste," who rose
from stevedore to the dignity and
prestige of Americas most prominent
theatres, is a wonder. The Dramatic
Mirror says, "He has a personality as
in~gratiating as that of Fairbanks, but
far surpasses him in strength and
prowess."

The ~ayhO

No doubt many of the theatregoers
of Penns Grove and vicinity have
heard of David Belasco's enormously
successful comedy, "The Boomerang
In fact this production is so success
full that it was brought back to the
Playhouse, Wilmington for a return
engagement and Friday and Saturday
of this week is to see its third en-
gagement in that city.
1t is a treaties on love and jealousy,
breathing the spirit of youth at every
turn. A young physician and his
pretty young assistant are the central
ngures of the story and around them
winds a plot of fun that is irresistible.
The young doctor is treating a young
man for lovesickness and uses a
method, which like a boomerang, comes
back and strikes him.
The cast includes Robert CONFESS,
Harry Hayden, John Clements, Louis
zita Valentine, Lenora Phelps and
many others.

begin a series of amateur exhibitions.
Anyone desiring to try out their talent
on the stage will be given a chance.
There will be three cash prizes and
the audience will decide who are the
winners. This will surely prove an
interesting feature. 1t is "a sure
thing there is some good talent in
Penns Grove and vicinity and the pa
irons will enjoy rendering the verdict
as to the merits of the different per-
formers. Another treat is billed for
Wednesday, May 21st, when Dumont's
famous Ministries will appear. They
have always been favorites here and
their welcome by a full house is a
forgone conclusion.

THE OLD METHOD OF using these drugs was to col

grind them into powders. The early Indians gave much
