A comedy drama which is being
much talked about will be shown at
Ditmas theatre today. 1t is 1.-THE
Week End by Cosmo Hamilton and
produced by the American Film
Company. Like all of the plays by
that popular author. THE Week
End" is light and airy, and while 1t
affects no purpose and aims at no
moral, 1t certainly makes its point
and makes it with no uncertain
touch-and this while it never fails
to entertain and amuse.
The drama opens with Margarita
Fisher as Vera Middleton, the typi-
cal young American daughter OF
well-to-do parents, worrying these
particular conventional and stiff
necked worthless because she insists
upon being natural and normal. In
fact. Vera rather specializes on nifty
bathing costumes and on associating
with young men who like her with
u any consideration for her faith
er's money. And she has other
flapper ideas.
The family reputation of Mayfiow-
err origin seemed SO constantly jeop-
ardized by this girls careless disre-
gard for the conventions that her
anxious mamma bethought herself
that marriage with some staid, WELL
tanned youth would be the proper
ballast for Vera.

TRENTON, Oct. 1.-THE weekly
bulletin issued by the weather bu-
reau of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture for New Jersey
declares that tomatoes for canning
continue to be a glut.
Producers are troubled by a ten
dency toward low prices for crops
and high wages for labor, which is
scarce" the bulletin said.
The recent dry weather, it was
stated. was a hindrance to fall plow-
ing, seeding of grass and winter
grains, and also TO the maturity of
late potatoes in the southern part of
the state, cabbage, turnips. sweet
potatoes, etc. The bulletin contin-
ued:
The harvest Of corn, apples and

maturing at it's best; silos are being
flled. Some corn has been husked,
and wheat and y thrashed in

DIR. G.. NJ. Morgan, the famous
physician and scientist, in a recent.
interview made the astonishing claim
that ii is possible to prove ones
identity with a certain family through
certain characteristics that have been
handed down for generations and
thereby have become identified with
that family.
DR.. Morgan has been pursuing this
study for a number of years and in
a number of noteworthy instances
has accurately proven his contention.
To be sure. there lacks sufficient
records to put this theory into gen.
eral practice and the scientist has
therefore appealed to the govern
ment to establish in connection with
the Bureau of Records a department
whose business 1t would be to secure
at least the basic records of family
traits.
This would be of extreme value to
the nation IL it were carried out, DR..
Morgan states. AS an example of
this he shows the record of one
certain family which came into
prominence about the time of the
American Revolution. This family
alone has furnished nearly "a hundred
criminals. All of them at n time
or another have been a charge upon
the nation. in prisons, asylums and
in other institutions.
Other families on the contrary
have produced successfully famous
scholars, inventors and actors. These
families should be kept under OBJ
servation and encouraged along these
lines.
DIR. Morgan's theory forms the
basis of one of the most remarkable
~photoplays of the year. Willard
Mack, the noted dramatist, has
furnished this unusual story, which
he has called Heritage" This pro-
duction will be seen today and to-
morrow at the Strand Theatre.
Matty Roubert, the popular juvenile
star, carries the burden Of the in
tensely dramatic situations with
which Mr.. Mack has most wildly
portrayed the subject.

convincing both himself and his
father that he is a failure as a BUSH
ness man he decides to go West and
manage g. ranch which his father
owns.
The foreman of the ranch and the
owner of the neighboring land are
conspiring Il get control of the prop
erty and the arrival of the son spoils
their plans. They scheme towards his
failure.
Jim circumvents them and, in a
letter to his father. humorously
suggests that he has everything he
wants but a. wife and would ap-
preciate a nice eastern girl to share
his life on the ranch. A few weeks
later a schoolmate of his sister ar
rives to homestead some land. Jim
believes she has been sen by his
father. His romance is nipped in the
bud by the jealousy of Boka. q

Spirited Away,

Philadelphia, Aug. A veil of mys-
terry has been thrown over the capture

the kidnaper of Blakeley Coughlin.
Chief Postal Inspector George A.
Leonard declares that the man who
stole the Coughlin baby from his home
in Norristown on June , has been
captured George A. Coughlin, the
baby'S father, knows nothing of the
capture beyond what he has read in
The newspapers and is eagerly await

Meanwhile federal agents have tax
en- the man and disappeared as utterly
as though the earth had swallowed
them up. 1t is possible that they
have forced the man to take them to
the baby and that when they do re-
turn the mystery will be finally clear
ed up. Chief Leonard said that he
did not expect to hear from his men
for at least twenty-fOur hours. The
supposition is that the hiding place
of the baby is some distance from
Philadelphia, necessitating long ride,
either by train or automobile.
1t was first reported that The
Crank was a negro. Later infOrma-

and pretty definitely established the

supports northern Industries comes

The Irish Times points out that such
a boycott is quite practical, as SOUTH

"The boycott" says the newspaper,
