COMING TO PlNNEY.

"Tea for Three a distinct novelty in
comedies, comes to the Pinney Theater
on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. IL and
u, under direction of the Selwyns.
Written by Roi Cooper Megrue author
of 1T Pays to Advertise" Seven
Chances" and Under Cover" this piece
is generally acclaimed as the best thing
he has evere done. All the sparkle and
cleverness of audacious dialogue, the
originality of situation and the drama
tic intensity and delightful romance
disclosed in Mr.. Megrues previous writ
ings have been combined in his latest
work. Dramatic reviewers unani-
mously have agreed that by Tea for
Three will Mr.. Megrue be known to
fame as a playwright.
There are three acts and a prologue.
all effectively and deliberately mounted
by Selwyn and Company. The story
axes place in New York and is of the
present day Two men have aspired to
the hand of the same girl and she has
made her choice. The three have re-
manned fast friends The husband has
fallen into the stodgy, selfish routine of
life of the man egrossed in business
| to the neglect of his home and outside
affairs. The wife, always loyal, re-
| lieves her ennui by frequent luncheons
! and teas with the friend. Even this
! little diversion is about to be denied
her through Carter's jealous fears, al

Phillip, the friend points out to her the
inevitable ending of their friendship
True as she is, she does not lack spr-

prising development negotiated by the
| friend, form the play. These three roles
are exeellently interpreted by Norman

its performance.

ORGANIZATIONS WILL
CONFER ON HOW TO
COMBAT DRUG EVIL
Mayor Eagleson Calls Meeting
to Discuss Care Of Addicts as
Social FREDERICKSBURG Red
Cross Plan Followed.

First steps toward organized effort to
combat the narcotic drug evil in Idaho
will be taken this evening at a con-
ference called by Mayor Ernest G.
Eagleson to be held in his office. Rep
resentatives of the state board of well
fare, state constabulary, Y. M. G. A,
knights of Columbus, Red Cross, the
medical and legal professions and
druggists have been invited to partici-
pate. and others interested in the prob
lem will be welcomed.
A series of raids by the city police
last month, and individual arrests
made from time to time, show that the
sale of narcotics in violation Of the
Harrison act Is a stubbornly persis-
Is the first phase of the movement.
SEATTLE PLAN FOLLOWED.
But the use of drugs is a wider social
problem, to meet which the co-opera-
ton of city and state authorities and
voluntary organizations is necessary,
in the opinion Of the mayor and 9TH
ers who have Investigated the local
situation. Treatment and care of drug
addicts is public necessity and duty
if the evil is to be successfully COM
batted, and the means to do this in an
organized way is the subject of the
conference this evening.
During the Northwest tuberculosis
conference held recently IN Boise, +.
Z. Foisie of Seattle, director of civilian
relief for the Northwestern district Of
the Red Cross, was a visitor here. He
was asked by City Physician I. j.
Pond, State Medical Advisor e. f..
Laubaugh and Mrs. OLIVE Rust Thorn
son. secretary of the local Red Cross
home service section, to outline the
method pursued in organizing the anti
narcotic campaign in Seattle. 1t was
in pursuance of the outline he fur
Sished, and on the advice of the Off
cials just named, that Mayor Eagleson
called the local conference.
TWENTY CASES IN BOISE.
1--WE hope something good and prac-
teal will result" said the mayor this
morning ''Violators of the law can be
unprecedented and punished, but what
| is to be done for the drug addicts
They need careful treatment, which In
most cases requires confinement, for
they have lost their own will power
There are 20 or 80 cases of this kind
here now, perhaps more, and larger
number of drug users who have not
reached the hopeless stage as yet
Nearly all of them want to get away
from the habit. The combined efforts
Of the organizations and individuals
we have invited to confer on the prob
lem will certainly reduce the evil, Il
not eradicate it."

There will be no more formal drill

tanning to his discharge from the ser
vice, which was requested some time
ago; along with further advice as to

Major Chamberlin, is very determined
that no winter schedule will be car
ried out that will in any manner in
terfere with the school work of the
boys of his unit. The winter schedule
of the Marine scouts, not altogether
like other organizations, creates a
great deal of enthusiasm among the
boys in all communities where organ
lied It's a military body full of pep,
which American boys, with true Ameri-
can ambitions, look up to with heart
and soul, and 1t Is mighty important,
said Major Chamberlin that no drills
be established that will distract in
any way the boys attention from his
studies, by offering subjects for dis
cussion during school hours, etc.
