For those thus shown TO be like

This is given in the form of three
small injections, one each week for
three weeks, and affords q protec-

for many years, possibly for life.

BURGLARY Is Not Profitable.

When one reads in the paper an ac-
count Of II burglary where the thief
succeeded in securing $1,000 to $4,000
worth of jewelry. one is apt to think
that the spoils were probably worth tho
risk, but investigation has shown that
thieves never realize anything like the
full va,ne of their plumber. In Eng
land II was discovered that Out Of 4GS
burGlaries reported in various parts
Of the kingdom the proceeds netted the
principals an average OF about SI5
each. The value Of the plumber was
many times Wat figure. In addition
to this, each ni,: nf the number had
been sent to inll fur his crime.

CONCERNING
"ONE ARABIAN NIGHT

No picture produced in America in the
last year has been as highly compli-
msnted by the National Board of Review
Of Motion Pictures as Zone Arabian
Night" starring Pola Negri, Polish
beauty and actress, which viii be the
feature attraction at the Circle next
week
This board in a public statement said.
. This vivid, swift-moving picture is the
peer of Oriental dramas of the screen.
It has the true atmosphere Of an Arab
ian Nights tale and must rank as .One
of the exceptional photOplays of the
year. 1t has both dramatic intensity
and comic relief Of an unusual order. The
acting Of Pola Negri may be said to be
the finest and most convincing Of her
career before the American public, and
the supporting cast is one Of great
ability"
With q story Of the fascinating char
aeter OF the Arabian Nights Entertain
ment," the direction Of Ernst Lubitsch
and the Oriental background, one may
not be surprised that the board OF CEN
sOrs gave a tribute like the foregoing.

QUEEN OF SHEBA" TO
START SECOND WEEK.
The great part the Queen of Sheba
played IN the life Of King Solomon is
not only a matter Of historical record,
but also of Oriental legend, according to
Virginia Tracy, author Of the story on
which Queen of Sheba," the William
Fox picture spectacle, which will begin
Its second week at Loews State Sunday,
is based
Throughout the East hundred leg
ends and traditions, mostly unwritten
keep alive the memory Of the great queen
who came from the south and won
Solomo6s heart. Her fame in Asia ia
beyond that Of Cleopatra and that Of
Helen Of Troy, In spite Of the fact that
Cleopatra had Shakespeare and Heller
had Homer to sing their praises, while
Shsbs's love never until now has been
immortalized in the written word.
Yet for proof Of her strong influence

probably on the whole course Of history,
one must turn to the Songs Of solomon,

being unaware of his criminal traits,

When he attempts to force his atten-
lions on the girl, however, he is driven
away. His next stopping point is the
cabin Of Andre Beauvais, a trapper and
here Dore, after an unsuccessful attempt
to get Andres young wife to run away
with him, has a battle with the trapper,
in which he comes out second best. In
retaliation he abducts Andres wife.
She manages to escape from his clutches
and to save her honor leaps from the top
of high cliff. Dore, driven mad by a
terrific storm in the woods, staggers
blindly into the very arms of those who
are seeking him on a mission of revenge,
and the story is capped by a big and
interesting climax.

tain many passages when can reIer only
to the Queen Of Sheba.
It is true that a strong, school Of
thought holds that in these poems, which
form the collection known as the Songs
of Solomon, the King used his love for
Sheba as a religious symbol; but they
contain every indication that they were
written by a man who had experienced
the deepest of human emotions, that of
love between the sexes.
1t is also undoubtedly true that the
Songs of Solomon were written soon
after the visit of the Queen Of Sheba to
Solomon's kingdom. DasEled by her
beauty and the magnihcence Of her
retinue, Solomon descended from his
throne to greet the Queen, who had
journeyed over the desert to gaze upon
his glory and hear his wisdom. And
not for the first time in history, nor
the last, wisdom and power bowed low
and humbled itself before beauty.
CURwOOD'S STORY
Is NOW A MOVIE.
Another picture Of the Canadian North
west, Goods Country and the Law"
adapted from James Oliver CurwoOd's
story of the same name, will be shown at
the Alhambra all next week.
This picture, while as full as usual of
the Curwood North woods color and dra-
matte action, has a theme different from
most Of his stories in the past. 1t is o
thrilling tale of a man bounded by
guilty conscience, and driven to destruc-
ton by the great fear.
Into the quiet calm Of the vast forests

who has prospered as a. whisky runner

WALSH AND COOPER
APPEAR IN "SERENADE."

"Serenade" comes to the Ohio for one
week starting Sunday. Miriam Cooper,
the actress who appeared in The Birth
Of a Nation and Intolerance" plays the
leading feminine role. Miss Cooper takes
the part Of q Spanish senorita.
Playing opposite Miss Cooper is
George Walsh. Nothing is an obstacle in
the view of the redOubtable George. If
a building is in his way, he merely
climbs Up the perpendicular walls and
over th3 roof. If no stairs are handy, he
simply jumps. In fact, George doesn't
seem to be particular whether he is
killed or not.
In "SerenSde'' he crosses over the
heads Of q rOomful Of people by swing
ing his way to the opposite wall by
means of the hanging lamps. Then he
plunges through a window, but lands on
the ground below with his neck still in
tact.
No matter how dangerous the stunt"
which the scenario writer's work into the
script, George never turns a hair. It's all

DON'T GET EXCITED

A headline in the Hackensack Rec
ord of Thursday says, COP WOMEN
GOING TO CLAIM EQUAL RIGHTS
Why the "claim?" The tenth amend
ment gives them all they desire, so
that pressing matters would not bring
them any more than they are entitled
to already under the law. The article
want equal representation on the
county committee" Why not? 1t is
their right. Maybe the men folk have
not voluntarily offered to put them on.
There are still many men who do not
believe in equal suffrage, but whether
they do or not, the women are now en-
titled to all the political privileges
that men have. 1t is up " them to 90

swim, so to speak. 1T there is Ike

can women would he entitled to attend
on equal footing with men. Likewise,
were a Democratic "lovefeast' (and
there are not many of these nowadays)
to be announced, all female Democrats
could go forth and swap yarns with
the men. The Hackensack discussion
at a Republican county committee
meeting this week makes rather
novel as well as interesting reading,
as the proposal that women be allowed
to come in precipitated discussion
when il should have done nothing of
the sort
To say the least, the report of the
Hackensack meeting was rather conf
cal, for some very foolish things were
INTERCEPTED But all people might fix
this thought in their minds: WOMEN

Xavier Victim
Of Cliffside Team

The local high school baseball team
continued its winning streak last Sat
urdaN when they played and easily
defeated the highly rated baseball
team of Xavier Highs School, one of
the largest prep schools of New York
City.
AS the score shows, the game re-
suited in a decisive victory for the
local boys, whose hitting ability was
not to be denied.
With speed and control that were
wonderful Steffens found it quite an
easy matter to keep the Cliffside boys
guessing, but things changed after
Xavier scored ii run and held the lead
for several innings.
Cliffside then took the lead when
James Whalen hit homer with two
men on bases in the fourth inning.
This seemed signal for the other
boys to hit and three more runs We're
scored in the remaining innings.
"Toney' Giantonio, the maipStay of
the local pitching staff, pitched with
his usual stuff on the ball and when
ever in hole was able to pitch his
way out. He received fine support.

is quoted as saying:
"Chldren are all very well, but they
do not understand me. They see am

and they want to do nothing but play.

pIny with Il purpose" Other chill
dren play because their joyous beihg
tells them to. There's no purpose III
their play, but the joy of 1t.
Prodigies must be lonely children,
because they are not understood by
the children of their size, and are TOO
small to be the companions of children
of their mental age.

Soldier in Uniform
Steals Marrnon Car

Last week Friday night, while the
Palmer family of Nelson avenue were
asleep their garage was opened and
their Marmon touring car was rolled
out of the yard to Grove avenue, where
the thieves pushed 1t nearly to Hill
side avenue. At that point they tried
to start the motor, but there was lock
on it and they rallied. 1t is said that
several residents of Grantwood, not
knowing that the car was stolen one
tried to help the thieves get it running
officer Schultz, who was ringing in
from the phone on his post noticed the
peculiar actions of Il soldier and his
accomplices and went over to the car.
Leaving the soldier in the car with the
policeman the others, including SER
geant, said they would go for some
more gas. They went off and, not re-
turning Officer Schultz became sus-
picious and phoned to the station, inn
mediately arresting the soldier he had
in hand.
The man WAS quizZed. but would
give no information. When the car
was searched Il billhead of the Presto
Lite company of Hudson boulevard
was found together with some tools
for breaking locks 1t was through
the thoughtfulness of ii passey-by who
recognized the car in the garage and
who knew that Mr.. Palmer had Il
PreSto-Lite agency and also a Marmon
touring ear that the auto was recov-
cred Then Mr. Palmer was phoned,
He did not know his ear had been
stolen. The soldier was Jailed at

YOUR LUxURiES

During the single year 1919 the peo-
ple of Ohio spent S3o0,o0o,Oo more
for Injuries than was spent in that
state for education between the years
1897 and 1919 according to compara-
tive data presented by +. T. Claxton,
United States commissioner OF ed

Startling figures - and, doubtless,
Connecticut will shew II similar dis
parity between expenditures for ed
ucation and luxury.
But in So far as the increasing de-
mand for luxury represents the de-
sire of the common man to live Il
broader and more comfortable lite,
there can be no quarrel with luxury,
least of all among educators. Indeed,
education would fail of its purpose
if il did not create in men desire
for other than the bare necessities of
existence.
And what are Injuries? Fifteen
