Guilford?" These twins are a sore
subject with Dudley.
The duples are what might be

The twins came into Dudley's life
at the height of the coal crisis il To-

citizens coal committee which fdoled

One day a man called Dudley over the
telephone and asked him if he could

Avery Hopwood's Fair and
Warmer" one of the farce successes
of last season, comes to the Grand
Wedn esday and Christmas. with
matinee Christmas. Selwyn & Com
pany are said to have kept the piece
UP TO their usual fine standard for
this seasons presentation.
The tale begins With a scene of
family disagreement which progresses
even to the plans for divorce. Thru
some irdiscreet admissions, neatly
dovetailed by the author. an angelic
young man and his innocent partner,
discover that they are both being out
rageously treated by their giddy mar
riage partners and instantly they are
left alone they plan revenge.
Iuasmuch as their knowledge of
misdcmeanor. is purely theoretical,
they decide on Compromising each
other by sitting together till two or
three A NJ when their spouses will
return and. seeing what a bad example
they have set, shall promptly reform.
What happens then is the famous
cocktail scene in which the two
get equally and beautifully lit, and
one falls asleep on a couch, while the
other is tucked in under a bearskin
till the philandering husband and the
yiddy wife come home and find them.
This is the point at which Hopwood
begins to unwind the tangle he has
created.

Information Confidential.
The Census Bureau desires to en-
phasize the fact that the information
gathered in the Census is for general
statistical purposes only and that
such information can not be used as
a basis for taxation. Nor can such in
formation be used to harm any per-
son in any way. This is pointed out
in the Presidents Proclamation.
As a matter Of fact the identity of
individuals is lost as soon as the filled
out schedules are received at WASH
ington. For upon reaching there the
information is transferred from the
sheets to cards. This is done by ma
chinery and names are discarded en-
tirely. Moreover, every person con-
nected with the taking Of the Census
is pohibited by Federal law from di-
vulging any information given them
in the performance of their duties.
The Bureau of the Census has al
ways had the willing cooperation Of
the public in the past and confidently
looks forward to that same spirit Of
cooperation for the census of 1920.

given upon inquiry to Julian S. Wolfe,
