The story of the play traverses the
adventures of a young American
Kean Hedges, who has found Paris
SO enchanting that his father has
called him home. Being short OF
funds he embarks for America in the
steerage and there meets his dream
girl. She is under the spell of a won-
an who wants to snluggle some pearls
into New York. The conflict with the
customs officers on the dock at New
York, where Hedges chivalrously as
sists Beth out of her difficulties. fur
nishes an element of melodrama to
the story. In making his escape from
the customs men the hero dashes in
to several complications, and soon
finds himself engaged to three young
women. A confusion of Identities helps
tighten the story and various comic
incidents help to round out the plot.

HABITS OF
THE PEOPLE
rnAyrYNrNrN
War Saving Stamp Officials
Do Business to Suit
Public.

Washington. April 7.-Monetary
habits of groups of people in various
industries and ,employments arc the
subject of study oy the National War
Saving organization with a view of
determining the best places and the
best times to sell savings stamps. This
is prompted by the reversal of last
years policy of giving an agency to
practically every store which would
handle the stamps and adoption of a
new plan to select carefully a few
stores as agencies on condition that
these make active efforts to push the
sale of the stamps. Thus the organi-
cation hopes to make the agency
privilege a. real distinction in each
community.
To this end, the war savings or
ganization has undertaken to answer
such questions as these:
Are people in a certain industry or
locality mos likely to buy stamps
from their grocery stores oil from a
drug store which is open at night?
Are restaurants and candy stores
effective agencies?
What SOFT of store in a small city
is most likely to attract buyers after
the postoffice is closed?
If department. stores are made
agencies to reach M in what de-
partment or in what aisle location
should the stamp-selling booth be To-
Gated?
What sort of stores are best thrift
stamp agencies for children?
What kind of down town stores are
best agents for men?
"It is realized, of course" says a
War Savings statement, that banks.
building and loan associations, and
such agencies to which people natur-
ally go with money are excellent sales
agents, and school houses are ad-
mirable selling points for children.
But the savings directors want to
make certain hat adults in residen-
tial and industrial neighborhoods can
secure stamps conveniently at the
hours best suited to them and in con-
nection with their usual trading ac-
tivities.
1.-THE humble: and location of
agencies per thousand of population
Is being carefully considered as the
treasury doe not wish to split up the
stamp business to such an extent that
the business of each agency will be
too small to be of any advertising
beenfit to the agent.

TANK STARTER ON :
NEW FORD SEDAN
BRINGS ADMIRERS

h two-man tank. invented by
Henry Ford. never saw service be-
cause the war came to such an abrupt
close. This small tank would UNI
doubtedly have become one of the
big factors in whipping the Huns.
This wonderful implement of war
wa equipped with two Ford engines,
both of which were started with one
self-starter, a special Ford invention.
Now that the tank is no longer
needed, the self-starter has been APP
piled to the new Ford Sedan. This
is the first Ford car to be equipped
with a self-starter. The new model
is also equipped with a number of
other new c~onveniences that will
undoubtedly meet with favor.
Mr.. Moore of the Moore Auto CO.
stated in an interview that the new
Sedan was undoubtedly the finest car
that the Ford factory has produced.
