"Are You Fit to Marry"
Points Moral Lesson.

A strong plea for clean living is
made in the six-reel photoplay. Are
You Fit To Marry" which was shown
for the first time at the Belasco The
ater last evening.
The picture is founded upon the
theory Of DR.. Harry ]. Haiselden, q
Chicago physician who was the sub
jcet of a storm of criticism, when he
refused to operate upon child, who
he believed would never be normal.
The problem of defective children
is treated in a severe and earnest ma n
ner. The story runs: Despite the
hereditary taint in the blood Of the
man (played by Hamilton RevelD and
the warnings of the physician. he 10
married to a young girl tplayed by
Elsie Osmond). One year later a child
is born, a repulsive defective. and the
doctor refuses to operate on II, be-
lieving that II would be better dead.
In the meanwhile another physician
offers to save the life OF the baby by
an operation. The mother finally
comes to the conclusion that the fam
lily physician is wise in decreeing that
the infant should die.
DR.. Arthur II. Rollnick, an associate
Of DIR. Haiselden. appears in person,
and explains the-motive Of the photo
play.
The photoplay will be shown the
entire week. four performances daily.

USE Of 4TON|CS" BY
T0PERS INCREASING
U. S. Chemists Plan AduIterants
To Stop Consumption Of Nos
trums as Beverages.

Alarmed at the increasing use OF
certain patent nostrums containing
large percentage of alcohol for bev-
erage purposes, officials OF the Inter-
nal Revenue Bureau are formulating
plans to remove this new evil.
Chemists of the bureau have been
busy for the last few months apalyz-
ing various toilet, medicinal and an
tiseptic preparations. bitters, syrups
and flayoring extracts, which have
become popular as drinks with
"kick," with q view of prescribing
formulae to render their use as bev-
erages virtually impossible.
According to the Internal Revenue
Bureau, prohibition agents all over
the country who have been carefully
watching this situation. report the
use Of medicated alcohol has increas-
ed enormously.
The present plan is to have the
Of these preparations
change their formulae by adding
some ingredient which will make
them UNIT for drinking purposes. This,
officials declare. already has been
done in several cases, and in every in
stance the manufacturer has shown a
spirit OF cooperation.
According to q section OF the ma
tional prohibition act. alcohol may
be used in the manufacture of anti
septic solutions and toilet prepara-
tions such as lotions, hair-tonics, hair
dressings and perfumes that contain
no more alcohol than is necessary for
extraction, solution or preservation
and are unfit for beverages purposes.
However, the alcoholic percentage in
some was 30 great, sometimes run
ming as high as 20 per cant, 1T was
found necessary to add q small per-
ccntage Of tartar emetic, which made
them unfit for beverage purposes.
BY applying similar methods TO
preparations now being used extern
sively as beverages. officials Of the
bureau feel their use for other pur-
poses than that for which they were
intended soon will be
ended.

Fine Summer-Weather Bill
Is Offered This Week.

Plenty OF comedy, some excellent
dancing. delightful singing, and
touches OF novelty here and there
combine to give Keith's program this
week a lightness and interest that i'm
mensely enhances its appeal as hot
weather attraction. It's bill that is
notable not for the particular excel
lence Of any one number, but rather
for its all-around goodness and en-
joyabiiity.
Allan Rogers. the young American
tenor, returns in a program OF selec-
tions that win him the evenings hon
ors in applause. Particularly delight
full was his singing of Dear Old Pal
OF Mine" A voice of exquisite tender
ness and beauty joins with real his
trionic ability to put wealth of feel

turing Mollie Fuller. the act is one
that moves rapidly from beginning
to a pleasing conclusion.
Maurice Diamond and Lola Grille
give a series of dances that are re-
markable for the speed with which
the difficult steps are executed. Not
of the ballroom variety, nor yet Of
the purely gymnastic type, their num-
bers embody just enough of both to
make them pleasingly novel and en-
tcrtaining.
The three Weber girls start poorly
with more or less of song and dance,
and then finish eXcellently with a
series Of acrobatic feats that are new
and clever.
Hartley and Eastman give an act
that is clean. clever and pleasing.
George N. Brown. worlds champion

works. There are three generations
out of many families at the Govern

there are great-grandfathers working
with their great-grandsons.
They are all sport fans. The Navy
Yard Recreation League is one OF the
livest. organizations in the city. 1t
includes practically every worker in
the place. Capt. c. B. McVay, COM

mander Pence, assistant to the COM

There are no class lines in the
Recreation League. 1t is organized
by zones, and whether a naval officer
or the chauffeur OF a cinder wheel
barrow, every worker Is loyal to his
zone and friend to every man in it,
Interest just now centralizes in the
six-zone baseball league. Games are
played after 8 o'clock, and there Is
intense rivalry.
Some who are not athletic enough
for baseball go in for tennis. Games
are played on outside courts at pres
ent, but courts are being laid out
within the grounds and will be COM
pleted as fast as the work can be
done.
Navy yard employees have their own
bathing beach at the yard Rowing

There Is a, motor club to arrange

League will be held July "a. Zone
rivalry over the coming event is as
keen as in the baseball league. These
are only a few OF the sport activities,
which include bowling in winter. ..
Expenses OF the league are paid
entirely by a weekly dance, on what
the Navy Yard fans declare is the beat
floor in the city. Music is furnished
by the Navy Yard Bapd under leader

The band gives concert at the
grounds every Thursday night. after
which there is a moving picture show

GARRICk.
"Garrickers" Present
Finest Effort of Season.

When Robert Mclaughlin wrote
"The Eternal Magdalene" he, didn't
put anything particularly new into a
play which hinges around the Oldest
theme in the world. Without proper
handling the play could be a bald pre-
sentation of a question which Mrs.
Crundy has decreed should be dis
cussed more or less in the privacy of
ones own home and boudoir. 1t could
have been a ridiculous melodrama.
The Garrick players, however. have
taken the play and worked themselves
into the part. and last night they put
IL over in a fashion that could be
cIassed as nothing less than "thrili-
ing"
Those who are inclined to criticise
adversely probably would fortify
themselves with the argument that
YOU can't take an old, old threadbare
idea like that-"the usual woman of
the world; ssnctimonious and veal
thy citizen: virtuous young daughter;
exemplary son. and a jazz peacher"-
and make anything out OF II.
'Tis a sort of commonplace COM
bination. But when you take Anne
Morrison as the women of the world !;
Edward Mackay as the sanctimonious
citizen; Amy Leah Dennis as the vir-
tuous daughter-then you have a
combination that's well worth while.

Bright summer skies promise to
help make the exercises on the col

ever celebrated at Georgetown.
Senator Henry +. Ashurst, of Arl-
zona, upon whom the honorary de-

graduates.
The exercises will be opened by
| President Creeden. who will outline
the achievements OF the year. the most
notable of which has been the estab-

service. the only one OF its kind in the
country.
In addition to Senator Ashurst, the
degree of doctor of laws also will be
