"A Burgomaster Of Belgium" the
new play by Maurice Maeterlinck,
which is at Parsons theater, Hart
ford, for a three-day enga cement
with a matinee Saturday, was written
within a weeks time. The play
wright who is known as a, slow and
deliberate writer, was so carried away
with interest in his subject that he
worked day and night until the play
took its final form.
The curtain tonight will rise
promptly at SIS o'clock.
The attention of all disCrim ina ting
theatergoers is just now focused on
the forthcoming enga gem ent of Mabel
Italia ferro in her new starring We
hicle, a play entitled Luck in Pawn"
which will be the attraction at Par

The Lee Kids are the attraction at
Fox's theater tonight, and they re-

when their new picture, "Smiles,' was
shown. Not only is this photodrama
packed with humOr but it is beauti-
fully made, as far as sets and photo
graphic effects are concerned. William
Fox certainly has two sterling stars
in these extraordinary children, And
their fun is wholly wholesome--one
of the best of tonics. The humor Of

\ TREMENDOUS JOE TO IN
CREASE OUR PRODUCTION.

In this emergency we have tried ia
30 our part. We secured tho country
Tor raw materials-our Traffic Mama
ger spent his days riding freight cars
in--we shipped raw materials in car
load lots by express and pleaded with
manufacturers TO increase their de-
liveries to us.
But it was a, slow process. Some 81
our raw materials are produced ONLY
in Japan--supplies in this country
wero low and shipments required
three months to come from the Far
East. Then we had to recruit and
train Sliillcd labor. We brought our
statesmen into the factory and tsainch
them as foremen. We Invented new
machinery, and managed to install Il
on Christmas Day, so as not to inter

Mother Graham looked sharply at

evidently satisfied her. She leaned
i back against her pillows, closed her
eyes Hstlessly, and relaxed into the
apathetic lassitude which had been
markedly increasing since Dickys dis
appearance, and from which she only
reused herself occasionally and arti-
ficially by such spurs as the babys
danger and the banishm ent of Cousin

From my seat opposite her--it was

ness concerning my husbands ia te

even if our hopes for his safe return
were justified
The thought seemed to suffocate me
for a moment and made it impossi-
Bile for me to sit watching her. I rose
quietly and carried the cooling baby to
the window, scarcely knowing just
where I was going. Only one figure
was to be seen upon the country street
"a boy upon a bicycle who turned in
our driveway as I watched. Upon his
head there was the unmistaka]ble cap

discount of 10 per cent. on ship

LEGAL ATTACK
 MADE ON PROHIBITION

Trenton, N. J., Dec. 24-Another legal attack on prohibition was launch- ed here today when Elihu Root, as chief counsel for Christian Feigenspaa, a brewing corporation, filed a bill f complaint in the United States distria: court asking for an injunction restrain ing United States District Attorney Bodine and Charles Duffy, collector of internal revenue, from enforcing the prohibition law. The bill declares that both the Volstead act and the eight eenth amendment are unconstitutional
 The attack on the eighteenth amend ment is based on the ground that it deals with a subject outside any power granted to congress, is violation of the tenth amendment in regard to states rights and is, in fact, not an amendment to the constitution but mere legislation. It is also claimed that the amendment is null and void because two thirds of the members of congress did not by joint resolution or otherwise declare that they deemed it necessary. Such action by congress, MT. Root argued, is a condition pre- cedent to any amendment according to Article V of the United States Consti- tution..
 The Volstead law is brought under fire on the ground that it takes away private property without compensa- tion and also that it arbitrarily classi- fies as intoxicants liquors which are not in fact intoxicating"
