HOUSING PROBE
/. IN WASHINGTON
Isaac AIpern, of Chamber Of
Commerce, to Attend Im-
portant Session Jan. 27-28

Isaac A1pern, president of the
.Chamber of Commerce. will attend
the meeting of the National Coun-
ell of the Chamber of Commerce
Of the United States to be held in
Washington January 81 and 2S, at
(which measures will be discussed to
relieve the housing situation.
The housing cituation. according
4 to John Ihlder. manager of the Ma
tional Chambers Civic Department.
has reached q point where four, mill
Lon persons are tnadequately
housed. Mr.. Ihlder Is now prepar-
ing the program which will be used
at the conference. Tt is expected
that 1.400 industrial and CONNER
cdal organizations making up the
National Chambers membership,
will send representatives.
According to Mr.. Ihlder's figures
There were between 350.000 and
Z 100000 family dwellings a year
serected before the war. During
sthe war construction was q stand
still. except what was done by the
.government. In 1919 1t Is estimated
that only about 10000 houses were
erected in the United States and a
less number during 1920.
1t is likely that others from this
city besides Mr.. Alpern will attend
the conference, which will strive to

Score Hit at Ditmas.

Dorothy Phillips, who won the
hearts of local theatregoers in a
dozen previous screen productions,
notably her two most recent photo
dramas, "The Heart of Humanity
and The Right to Happiness" won
new friends at the Ditmas last night
when she appeared in her latest
Universal-Jewel feature, "Once to
Every Woman" This picture will
be shown again today and tomor-
row.
Like most Of her big successes.
this story was written and directed
by Allen Holubar. who possesses an
almost uncanny insight into human
nature and who Is able ito put on
the screen the thoughts, ideas and
aspirations of the average human
being. 1t Is this human note which
makes "Once to Every Woman" a
great picture, not taking into ac-
count nts wonderful acting. its set
tings and its scenic beauty. 0
Here Miss Phillips appears FIRST
as a country school girl who has
been spoiled by her family because
she is better looking than her two
younger sisters and because sne
possesses a sweet voice. 1t is this
voice which finally interests a pat
to study for grand opera. Later,
in a series of the most magnifi-
cent settings seen in motion pic
lures in years, Miss Phillips Is seen
as a prima donna making her New
York debut in a new opera.
A jealous Italian lover creates a
terrific scene in the opera house,
and as a result of the shock the
singer loses her voice. The social
world which had been at her feet
during her great success. deserts
her in the hour of need, and she is
the same child to the folks at home
whom she had neglected, but to
whom she Is the same child as In
days of old. Here she finds true
happiness ard contentment.
A shore review fails to do justice
to the character drawing, the artls-
tic development of the story. and the
mastery details. This photoplay
must he seen to be appreciated
and the indications are that few To-
cal theatregoers will miss it.

NEW PROBLEM
FOR MET.UCHEN
High School Auditorium Pop
uIar Place. More Requests
for Use Received by Board
By stan Corresponds snt.

By Stah Correspondent.
METUCHEN, Jan. 6-Further de-
mands continue to be made on the
Board of Education for permission
to use the Auditorium of the Frank
lin school on Middlesex avenue as a
place of public gatherings and
amusement.
The latest aggregation making the
request are the members of the Me-
tuchen Athletic Association, who
see in the hall an ideal place in
which to hold basketball games. as
the board has seen fit to properly
screen and protect the windows so
as to allow the playing of games by
the high school students.
Though the request for the use OF
the hall has been neither permitted
nor denied to the athletic club, the
appearance of a committee from the
club before the board meeting is
given as the reason for the sudden
adjournment of the educators last
Tuesday night.
An accusation attributed to Mr..
Annis. a member of the board. that
did not come here to be insulted."
is given as the reason for the sud-
den decision to stop the proceedings
of the evening, without reaching a
decision as to whether or not the
auditorium should be used for bas-
ketball games.
A denial was made last night by
William Denecke. the president of
the club, who acted as spokesman
in making the request, that any in
suit was made or intended, but he
refused to speak further on the
matter.
With the failure of the ladies Of

in which to hold dance next
month, and with the alleged treat
ment given the athletic association,
Immediately following the granting
of permission to the Chautauqua
committee. the question is being
asked. "Who owns the high school

ough or the members of the board
of education ?"
