In The DAYS News

Professor Sir Arthur Keith, who ex'
presses the startling opinion that life
without death is not impossible, is a
famous English biologist and anthro'
pologist, long connected with the
Royal Col eye of Surgeons. His edn
cation was received at Aberdeen Uni.
yersity; University College. London,
and Leipsic University. In expressing
his sensational opinion in regard to
Immortality Sir Arthur refers to the
remarkable experiment made by DR..
CGrrel with fragment Of chicken
heart, kept in special culture at the
Rockefeller institute since the early
part of 1912 it has not ceased to grow
normally and by all the signs should
be immortal" Although the famous
biologist has come to the conclusion
that immortality is not impossible.
he adds equally dramatic, that Life
without death is not desirable"

1.-The OATH" the r. A, Walsh pro-
duction for Associated First Nation
al Pictures. Inc, which opens at the
Strand theatre today for a three
days showing contains a scene
which has been hailed by critics as
being the most dramatic that has
ever been filmed or staged. A series
of fast moving, interesting circum-
stances has involved Hugh Colmau
in a situation where his conviction
for murder is absolutely certain UNI
less he breaks an oath given to his
wife when he has secretly married.
But there is another woman whom
he has loved. Although her love has
been given to his dearest chum, she
makes the greatest sacrifice a woman
can make to save Hugh from the
gallows and succeeds. The scene is
one of the strongest ever put into a
motion picture production, and the
tangled net which results from her
action in the lives of four persons
provides a most absorbing double
love story.
Miriam Cooper heads the capable
cast which portrays the story and
supporting her are Conway Tearle.
Henry Give and Anna Q. Nilsson.
Mr.. Walsh has provided sumptuous
settings for all the scenes, and the
entire production has well earned it's
distinction of being one of the ex-
'traordinary p~hotoplays of the year.

PLAN
OLD HOME WEEK
Not Known Just What This
Event Means Not a Car
nival, is Claim

The Firemen's Memorial Associa-
ton Of this city are planning to hold
what they call an "Old Home Week
Celebration" from September 1 to
September 10 on the Central railroad
grounds in Smith and Elm streets,
opposite the railroad station, the
proceeds going 10 the plot and mon
ument fund which was started sever
al years ago. The total cost of the
cemetery plot and monument will
be $500. OF this amount $4,000
has already been raised in various
manners during past years. The cell
ebration is being arranged for the
purpose of raising the remaining
$1,000 so that the purchase of the
plot and monument can be consul
mated.
The officers of the association plan
10 dedicate the plot and monument
with appropriate exercises Columbus
Day, October IL. it being expected
that several well known speakers
will be brought to the city on the
occasion. The committee in charge
of the celebration met last night in
the Boynton Building and similar
weekly meetings will be held every
Wednesday night until the celebra-
ton starts.
one Oh the COiIliiilttco III
charge of the affair stated today il
would not be a carnival, it is ex-
pected that it will have many of the
features to be found at such. The
exact nature of the "Old Home Cele-
bration" has not yet been fully an
nounced, as the committee has not
had sufficient time to complete ar
engagements. The officers of the
association are: Andrew Anderson,
president; Anthony Munoz, secretary,
and Alfred H. Crowell, treasurer.
The idea in purchasing the plot in
the cemetery is to have a place in
which exempt firemen and their
wives might be buried if they so de-
sire or in which those whose finances
would not permit of a private burial
might be laid at rest. .

In CASES HEARD
Flying Squadron Will Spend
10 Days in MiddIesex to
Hear Cases

A general cleanup campaign for
compensation cases, resulting from
the world war, will be carried out
throughout this state in the near
future. The campaign Is under the
direction of the American Legion
and the American Red Cross. The
cleaning up of these cases is made
possible by the action of congress
in passing the Sweet bill.
For some time past many of these
compensation ases have been pend
ing. They are directly due to in
juries obtained in the world war by
American soldiers. In many cases
ex-service men who were injured or
gassed have made application TO the
government for compensation, and
as yet have obtained no satisfaction.
The campaign TO be carried on is
expected to bring about a settlement
in all such cases.
The campaign will be conducted
by a flying squadron, which will
spend a week or more in each county
in the state. Ten days will be spent
in Middlesex county. The date of
the arrival of the squadron in Mid
dlesex county has not been decided
upon as yet. A meeting to be held
in New Brunswick tonight will be
attended by post commanders of the
American Legion, secretaries of the
Red Cross and government repre-
sentatives al which time plans will
be made for the reception of the
squadron and an outline made of
the work to be done by them while
in the county. The squadron con-
sists of five persons, three govern
ment representatives, one American
Legion and n Red Cross repre-
sentative.
The compensation claims which
the squadron will clean up will have
nothing whatever to do with the
government insurance.
