Ditmas Attraction


Andrew Soutar, the author. has
10Y his story around twin broth
ers. They were so alike in face,
figure and voice that their most inti-'
mate friends could never tell them
apart. One of them answered the
call Of wanderlust early and his
home own never knew him as a
man. The other brother, q tender,
sensitive soul, was n minister of God.
A situation arises when, to save his
brothers position, the wandering
brother, unknown to the town, re-
turns home and steps into the minis
ter's shoes. Vigorous and masterful,
yet possessing sympathy and UNDER
standing. he works miracles n be-.
ome the idol of the and
children. However. he makes an en-
envy of the towns most influential
citizen, who is in love with the girl
in the case.
The lion-hearted brother is forced
to wear his brothers shoes longer
than he intended. thus giving the
plot O chance to work into many
tense situations.
"Other Mems Shoes" is designated
a drama of heart revelation because
1t reveals the innermost, hidden
depths of the heart of a man whose
will was strong enough to make him
occupy his brothers place with hon.
or. "Other Mems Shoes will be a
revelation to the hearts of all who
see Ii al the Ditmas theatre.

Frelinghuysen For THO Cent
Piece. Memorial To Roosevelt

United States authorities permitted the
issue Of ''shInpiasters." little printed
slips of paper, known as the paper
currency of the country. They rah
in denominations OF three. five. ten.
twenty-five and fifty cents. Although
prices had beer increased very greatly
because of the war-in fact sugar went
as high as fifty cents a pound-the
main reason for the issue OF this paper
currency was the lack of silver n
small change. rather than the change
in prices.
For many years in this country. the
big copper two cent piece was IN use
as big as the British penny. There
wRs also n three cent piece. but these
went out OF use. probably because INN
articles that they used to buy rose TO
a nickel in price in the general up
ward trend of prices of the last few
decades.
The very latest thing in post war
currency. however. is reported in h
dispatches from Germany. According
TO cables, experiments are now being
conducted there to ascertain IL coins
made OF porcelain are not practicable
IL Is proposed hat the coins be five
marks and two marks in value. The
coins, it is said. promise to be feasible
They have the advantage OF being

readily be washed. They would be
difficult to c~ousterfeit, too. II the
porcelain coins are adopted. 1t will re-
suit In n great saving of silver and
other metals which have been used
in the past.
Senator Mclean called upon h
treasury department to state its views
with regard to the proposed W cent
coin before the committee acted on
the bill. The reply was that while the
coin could readily be made. the depart
ment SOW no reason for it being pro-
.uced. The question also arose in Sena-
tor McLean's mind as to whether there
would be any valid reasons against
the coin because OF the machines now
Used by the banks in adding and count
the minor coins. He received a
Export from one of the cash register
to the effect that the ma
chine used could be adjusted easily
TO handle the proposed two cent piece.
Whether the same would be true II
seven cent and eight cent coins
also were produced remains to be seen.
The Roosevelt Memorial Association
is back Of the two cent piece bill. and
IL Is likely that the measure will be
taken up and acted upon in the SEN
ate within a few days.

his wages are much higher-he would
not be benefited any financially with
