each picture hat is placed upon the
market to weigh as much as those of
Maggie Pepper" you would surely
think the millennium has come. With
such attractions to back you up, you
would not be wasting your time worry
ing how to attract even your regular
crowds, as o do now, but you would
be using your ingenuity in devising
means and ways of caring for the
overflow.
Miss Clayton has hardly ever APP
peared in as good a story. 1t is a
crook comedy drama, so sound and
substantial that the impression it
creates clings long to the memory.
The picture arouses strong interest
and keeps one in continual suspense,
and as the spirit of the story appeals
to the good emotions, it leaves in the
spectator a feeling of perfect satisfac-
ton and happiness.
There are situations at the begin
ming of the picture that will make
you mix the laughs and the tears at
the same time. The heroine is given
a human role, SO your sympathy fol-
lows her throughout the picture.
The acting of Miss Clayton i'm
presses one with sincerity. The sup
porting cast is composed of artists;
the direction, photography and almost
everything that helps to make the
picture is of the highest standard,
but whoever wrote the sub-titles
should be warmly congratulated. They
are little gems.
"Never Too Old"
A screaming farce from beginning
to end, Never Too Old" the latest
Paramount-Mack Sennett comedy,
fails to show a dull moment through
out the action. Charlie Murray, Eva
Thatcher, Bert Roach and Marie Pre-
vost are the principal fun-makers of
Never Too Old" which will be
shown on Maui next week.
AS proprietors of Il delicatessen
store, Charlie and Bert do some I'M
usually funny stunts. Their wives be-
come jealous of Marie, who is a
~manicurist, and both husbands are in
constant trouble. When Phyllis Hav-
er, who is Bert's wife, develops into
a detective and gets started, the ac-
ton is seriously complicated. There
is a ludicrously funny climax.

The Book World
BY II. M. L.

'''' 49, ~
poet at the time when Germans were
still human, lis a task needing only
pen, ink and paper, to print a book
is rather more difficult, because
genius often expresses itself illegi-
bly,; to read a work is more difficult
still because one has to struggle with
sleep. But TO sell a book is the most
difficult of all" This was said before
the days when book publishing and
book reviewing had become the big
business it is today. TO turn away
from the list of best sellers, and find
for oneself the book that is artistic,
that Is not written to sell, but for the
joy of writing is like a holiday in
deep dark woods. Java Head by
Hergesheimer has created a stir-it is
entirely different from the ordinary
novel. The scene is laid in the Salem
Mass, of 40 years ago before the age
of steam when the voyage to the
Indies vas a matter of many months.
There is the smack of the seattle
smell of spice, sandalwood and camp
hor, the Manchu woman with her
brocades and her jade,-in this inter
esting novel. There is no plot but
characterization. We meet in these
pages real people. We are not con-
cerned with what they do,-only with
romance of their daily lives, and we
have the feeling after closing the book
of a picture filed with glowing colors.
From the battle fronts of Europe
to China is a far reach. Ellen La
Motto, the author of two recent books
"The Dust of Pekin," and "Civiliza-
ton has taken the jump. Interested
in sociology and Far East, Miss La
Motto has given us some remarkable
comments on these two subjects. If
rents and the cost of servants are
getting too high, go live in Picking.
There, according to Ellen La Motto,
you can get what is called a house
tho ii is a whole series of houses, and
a large group of servants for a ridicul-
ously small sum. Then follows an en-
t~ertaining account of life in that far
away city showing there is not only
style but excitement living in a native
house in Picking.

mosphere of the East-The Yellow
Streak and On The Heights are the
most vivid sketches in the collection.
In a manner, what Kipling did for
India, Miss La Motto endeavors TO do
for China.
To plunge from the vivid present
into a period so years hence is what
the novel "Aristokia" does for its
readers. In this novel the world has
been taken over by the proletariat.
The prohibitionists and the fair sex
the under-dogs, the ex-kaisers, king,
capitalists and others of their like
have been awarded a strip of land all
their own, known as Aristokia and
situated in Central Europe. Here
the eX-aristocrats were allowed to live
as they pleased and preserve their old
customs of 1914.
The hero, a young American visits
Aristokia and falls in love, against
the rules of the Aristokians, with the
most beautiful Princess. The tale is
amusing and original and the illustra-
lions by Tony Sarg are an additional
asset. The author, A Washington
Pezet is a South American and a
recent graduate of Yale.

CUT
 DID NOT DAMAGE
 BRAITLINC'S LAND

Although Arthur w. Braitling's property on the west side of Main street, Stratford, is IS inches below the grade of the sidewalk, and the water flows down upon the land in rainy days, action of the Stratford se- lectmen in filling in the sidewalk did not cause the damage, Judge Walsh of the Common Pleas Court decided today. He upheld the ruling of the selectmen who decided that Braitling was entitled to equal benefits and damages because of the sidewalk changes
 Braitling was aggrieved at the ruling of the selcctnen and asked the court to award him damages for the injury to his property. Judge Walsh found that the original damage was caused by the raising of the grade of the state highway in 1913, which left Braitling's land below street level
 The court ruled that the sidewalk changes ordered by the selectmen remedied conditions which caused water to flow from the road.

GROWN PRINCE GETS OVATION
 FROM CROWDS

St. Johns, N. F., Aug. 13 The shores Of Quidividi Lake. two miles from the city, where a few weeks ago crowds gathered to watch the start of the first successful nonstop transatlantic airpIane flight, were again thronged with enthusiastic New FOundlanders today when the Prince of Wales, on his official visit to this colony, went to the lake for the an nual regatta.
 After a program of events which kept him up until long after midnight yesterday, the prince slept at Gov ernment House, in the room occupied in 1860 by his grandfather, the late King Edward VII, when as Prince of Wales he visited New Foundland. Early this morning the prince went aboard the British cruiser Dragon for breakfast and at 10 o'clock made his second official landing in this city. A crowd greeted him repeating the enthusiastic welcome of yesterday and all along the route to the lake he received an ovation.
 In witnessing the regatta, the prince was once again following in the footsteps of his grandfather who was guest at a similar event 60 years ago.

CABINET PLACE IS ASKED FOR
 AIR INDUSTRY

Washington, Aug. 13-The fmme diate establishment of a Departm ent of the Air, "co-equal in importance with the Departments of War, Navy and Commerce." under which all aerial activities of the United States can be concentrated, is the chief re commendation in the report of the American Aviation Mission made pub lie today by the War Department.
 This mission, headed by Assistant Secretary of War Benedict Crowell. has made a thorough investigation of aerOnautics in this country, Great Britain, France and Italy. The report was submitted to Secretary of War Baker July 19. on the committees s return from France. It was not made public until great pressure had been brought to bear by the aerOnautical interests of the country.
 In releasing the report for pubi- cation. Secretary Baker, in a signed statement, says: ''The mission has, in my judgment, gone too far in suggest ing a single centralized air service-'

COURT UPHOLDS NEW POLICE LAW;
 JITNEUR FINED
(Continued from Page One.)


 der the new regulations every jitney must complete it's run whether or not any passengers are in the machine It is alleged that the driver turned his car around two or three blocks away from his final stopping point, and started back over his old route. The policeman witnessed the action, and considering it a direct violation of the ruling placed the jitney man under arrest.
 In court this morning, Shavetuk testified that he had turned his ma chine around in order to purchase some gasoline from a garage. Judge Wilder refused to accept this excuse, and fined the jitneur one dollar. The man paid up instead of appealing the case.
 The chance of the Shavehuk case developing into a test case in which the right of the police to enforce the new regulations would be thrashed out, was killed probably by the small fine imposed, but the ruling of Judge Wilder proved conclusively that vio- Iators of the new ordinance will be prosecuted.
 Captain Wheeler, of the traffic de- partment, reported this morning that most of the jitney drivers are ob-
 
 strictly. It is said that the small number of violations which have oc- cured were due mostly to ignorance of the regulations.
 The claim of some persons, who in- sist that the usual number of jitneyS are not on the job, now that the new ordinance has gone into effect, is the result of many people misunderstand- ing the situation in Bridgeport. Thirty-four jitneys are employed to carry workers to Warner Brothers factory every morning, and many others taffe off their signs in order to make runs to various other factor ies. As ar esult the jitneys are fewer in number in the center of the city during the early hours and around factory closing time.
 For the most part the police are having no difficulty with the jitney operators in this city, but backed by the decision of the court they will now enforce the new regulations to the limit

WANTED TO HELP ALLIED ARMIES
 QUIET DISORDER

Bucharest, Sunday, Aug. 10.---The only thought of the Rumanian gov ernment in ordering it's troops to en- ter Budapest, Premier Britiano eX- plained to the correspondent today, was to help the allied armies suppress BoIshevisn and to restore order.
 While we were awaiting the ar rival of allied troops, the Bolsheviki attacked the Rumanian troops on the Pennsylvania frontier. After several days of hard fighting, in which Ru- mania received no material help from the allies, the Bolshevik forces were bested decisively," the premier said. ''The so-called government of Bella Kun was overthrown, although at heavy sacrifices on the part of the Rumanian army. In order to render the victory effective the Rumanian troops occupied Budapest and re- stored order where only anarchy had prevailed"

 Ira W. Ornburn, secretary of the State Federation of Labor, also ad- dressed the meeting and said that he wanted the men to underst tand that there was now only one lodge of Ma chiists in this city which was recog- nized by the Federation of Labor and that the new lodge, No. 116, was he one.
 He said that it was the intention of the Federation of Labor to stay in or until the metal trades were so organized that they would act as a unit in any factory in which any one of the trades had a grievance; that hereafter if the machinists in a shop decided to strike, all the mou1ders. sheet metal workers, buffers and pol ishers and every other trade employ ed in that factory would join before the strike of the machinists would be authorized.
 Ornburn said "There are more narrow minded men among the man. ufacturers of Bridgeport than there are in the rest of the country In stead of trying to work with a rec osnized representative of labor they try to get something on these repre- sentatives to see if they can't drive them out of the city and they bring women of questionable character into the city to try and compromise these leaders,"
