THEATRES
Monday At Ditmas


Jack Pickford is a: his best in the
latest Goldwyn production, Just Out
of College," appearing at the Ditmas
theatre for three days beginning
Monday.
In the part of ED Swinger," a
young man just finishing college, fac
ing the cruel world, broke and in
love with a m~illionaire's daughter,
his work is par excellence. This
particular millionaire, Septimus
Pickering, is known as the pickle
king and is a business man in every
sense of the word. He has his own
ideas regarding his daughters flu
ture husband-he must be a business
man-and frowns upon his daugh-
ter's selection of Ed Swinger.
The pickle king gives Ed twenty
thousand dollars, s~tipulating if he
doubles it in thirty days he can keep
the money and marry Caroline, the
daughter. While searching for some
good Investment. Ed overhears two
men talking of the big money to be
made in oil. He approached them
with the desire to plunge his newly
acquired fortune in that field of ac-
tivity and is told he hasn't enough
money. At the psychological moment
ne 10 approached ny MS .
agent with some fake oil stock and
admits he has only twenty thousand.
He finally spends seventy-five per
cent OF his capital for the bogus
stock, keeping five thousand for
spending money until he receives his
first dividends.
But Eds iay dreams end abruptly
when he finds he has been bunkoed.
With the hope of Paul Greer. an adj
vertising expert, and Miss Jones. he
starts a pickle business to rival
chickering's. How their immense adj
vertising campaign oauses Pickering
to buy their business and how the
girl is won all makes a corking good
photo-play.

Every ex-seryice man who has dis
ability of 10 per cent or over received in
service and is vocationally handicapped
in any way Is entitled to one OF the two
classes of government training:
Section ]. granted to men slightly
handicapped. entities a man to free tut

Under a recent act of congress there

After that date. therefore. we shall nc
longer be dependent upon private or semi

found appreciation which this board
feels for the generous service rendered BY
the American Red Cross in establishing a
loan fund which has been one of the CHIEF
resources from which we have been able
TO keep great numbers of disabled ex-ser
vice men from serious financial distress.
This is but one of the many ways il
which the American Red Cross has co

work of soldier rehabilitation. and We
| hope long to enjoy the benefit of other
cooperative services, such as that o.
| home service, which have contributed Sc
much to the efficiency of the work fol
the disabled soldiers, sailors and marines.

TYPHOID ON VACATIONS.
Health Officer Urges People to BE I'm
munized Before Starting.

BALTIMORE. Aug. . Vacations
are blamed by DIR. c. Hampson Jones.
health commissioner. for the recent in
crease in typhoid fever recorded in Balti-
more and noticed generally throughout
the state. DR.. Jones urged the need of
precautions by persons planning to make
trips away from home.
This season. he said, is what is known
TO physicians AZ a typhoid year. and
the vacation typhoid also recognized by
physicians is one of the chief factors
in increasing the number of cases. The
health department is taking every pos
sible step to combat the disease, but an
increase in the number of cases appears
almost impossible to prevent.
Because of the larger number of per
sons travelling at this time of year they
often are thrown into contact with
crowds and placed in positions where the
presence of typhoid carrier may do
considerable harm. Many persons also
are drinking water at unusual places or
eating food of which they know nothing
1T is almost impossible to trace such
carrier. and it is difficult to convince
peoplG that precautions are necessary
Persons planning trips ought to take
the pains to have themselves immunized
| from typhoid. This will be done at the
health department free of charge. OF
can be administered by personal ply.
