IN STATE FAILS
Only $4,000 of Desired
$50, 900 in Hands
OF Committee
NOT ENOUGH
TO BUILD HOME

For the nrst timo IN the history Of
Delaware. the State has failed. and
failed slsnally. IN campaign TO ralse
money for a worthy cause or The
$4,000 asked from Delaware for the
Salvation Army Home Service Fund,
only sJ200 was obtained, after two
weeks Of energetic endeavor on the part
0i many workers. Delaware b the. only
State in the Union which has failed
The Stigma upon Delawares fair name
is al the more conspicuous because
many cities have gone ahead Of their
quotas by large margins. The nation as
a whole, has given three million dollars
more than ihe ten million dollars asked.
It's failure will fall upon Del9ware as
the money raised In o state Is pledged
10 be used within that State and no
other Accordingly, This State Will not
proft a penny by The national over
subscription
Strangely. In face Of ils failure. The
campaign locally, appealed io larger
number OF people than any that has
ever been held here. But somehow,
! people OF means were not moved 10 give
generously.
only two large subscriptions were
reported 5000 each from r.. Coleman
dupont and William Coyne.
Mr.. dupont's letter. accompanying
| his contribution gave an endorsement
! which the campaign committee hopes
will yet move those able 20 do 10, TO
make mp ihc deficit Tie wrote.
"lIad the people OF Delaware seen the
work Of the salvation Army In France
as I did. and know the amount of real
good they did. they would be glad 10
subscribe most literally 90 this fund"
Although the campaign closed Saiur-
dav night. after the first decision 10
hold 70 for q few days longer had been
revoked. contributions Go wipe out the
blot on Delaware's name Will be gladly
welcomed.
AT the end OF the last week, numer-
Gus shops organized teams for soliciting
employees OF plnts and are reporting
the amounts collected.
Already reports from some or the
shops indicate great interest In the cam
paign Car shops Of the Pennsylvania
Rairoad already have subscribed sl,1n
as a result OF The work OF team under
the leadership Of Mrs. Raymond Jones,
Laughter Of Councilman James name.
The campaign seemed a popular one TO
The car shop men and subscriptions were
numerous.
Another difficulty That has caused a
falling of i'm the amount Of subscrip-
fions Is said 10 be the inability OF com
Imittec officials 20 obtain team workers
IOf the thirty or more teams promised
only five or six appeared for duty. IL IS
thought this is due TO WeariWss on inc
parf OF many workers who had Just

BY Katharine Wright

Years ago when we were cub in
Boston, our city editor said: "Jack
Rose is running y motion picture con-
Germ out on the Fels. Go and get the
dope on it."
Now, "Baldy" had named his movie
factory the Humanology Film Pro-
ducing Company and was endeavoring
to live up to the title. We had never
met gunman before, and his subdued
manner upset every one of our pre-
conceived notions of these desperate
characters. He was courtesy itself,
and after a while we found ourselves
eating a New England boiled dinner
with Mr.. Rose and Arthur Ashley, the
leading man, and Miss Carlotta de Fee
lice, dark and beautiful, and said to
be related to the Aosta family.
1t was afterward, when we were in
vited to stay and watch the filming Of
scene or two, that we made our first
acquaintance with movie" director.

Menace Of the Quack
Exposed in Ne,U Film

Authorities have declared that the
quack doctor is by far the most dan
gerous criminal in existence, and
open Your Eyes," the government
film drama at the Central Theatre,
was taken under the auspices of the,
United States government, with the
sanction of the United States Public
Health Service, Tor the express pur-
pose of exposing this malefactor and
his trade
1t has been pointed out that while
a community can take measures to
safeguard itself from other types of
criminals, the quack is menace par
ticularly hard to reach because of the
prevailing public ignorance conc erning
him and his practices. For this reason
the quack lives and grows rich with i'm
punity on the misery of youth. The
general public knows of his existence
only through his own advertising
Only recently stringent laws have
been passed which have made welcome
inroads in his practice.
How the quack, at once a thief and
a murderer, has been directly respon-
sible for the spread of disease is
shown in open Your Eyes" which
also depicts the results of his ac-
tivities.

Opening Hurried by
Similar PLAYS

The opening last night, June %. Of
the Playhouse with a new play called
cat 9:45," by Owen Davis, starts the
dramatic season Of 1920 off at an
earlier date than has been known for
many years.
The play deals with a crime mystery
and rumor has it that this early pro
duction is caused by the fact that
Messrs. Brady, Woods, Cohan & Harris
and George Broadhurst all have plays
of a similar character, ready for q
Broadway opening.
