He cited the fact that in many of
the newly developed portions of the
city whole blocks Of new homes,
many OF them high priced structures,
have been completed and occupied for
months but that there is no paving
of any description In the streets. In
some streets a half-hearted fight

by the dumping Of cinders or broken

that my tragedy occurred.
I had a dearest girl friend''-a
beautiful woman named Lilly, who

she professed love for me and adora-

One night-it was the week pre-
ceding my confinement--I had asked
Lilly and some of my other women
friends to visit me. My husband
came home during the party. The
noise of his coming awakened Ju-

Don't bother, dear" he said. as
started to go to my baby. "Ill put
him to sleep"
"Oh, let me hold him." Lilly plead

husband accompanied her.

guests departed. l had not missed

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 31.--So
far as being molosted by the po-
lice is concerned. women may
smoke in the streets Of Pitts
burgh II they wish, as they are
reported doing In other cities,
but II they do so they will drop
in the estimation of Police Su-
perintendent Calhoun.
"There isn't any law prevent
ing women smoking on the
Streets" said Calhoun, "but I
believe our Pittsburgh girls
think too much Of themselves to
do anything SO common. A girl
who would do that wouldn't DO
it for any pleasure she would
get out Of the operation, but
simply to be bold and defiant to
shock other people. This isn't
q very laudable impulse"

BROKEN BLOSSOMS" ONE OF
MOST ARTISTIC OF FILM PLAYS

Broken Blossoms" was shown last
night at the Coliseum and is on for
the iinll time tonight 1t is ID. w.
GriffNh's production, an artistic film
play from one OF Thomas Burke's
grim tales from "Limehouse Nights
It is that mCst tragic of them all,
"The Chink and the Child
And in retelling it by means Of
the camera Mr. Griffith has added
strangely appealing touches that
make the child akin to Little. Nell.
It is as If Dickens had spoken by
means of the camera.
, Moreover, there is a glamor here
as if Pierre Lott or Victor Hugo had
joined forces with Mr.. Griffith. Is it
any wonder that Broken Blossoms
is masterpiece of the film?
The story is simple and easily
followed It's characters are few but
sharply drawn Escaping from the
crueltes OF a drunken father, a little
girl CT the London sllIms falls faint
ing ON the doorstep of q Chinese
shopkeepnr He bathes her wounds,
robes her in his cJstliest Chinese
silks, feeds her starved soul with
flowers and lidtle doll that awakcns
her maternal instinct Then he wor-
ships her.
The idyl is rudely broken. The
story ends with the child's murder by
her fnfurlated father, and in revenge
the Chink kills him. and then kills
himself.
Miss Lillian Gish as the Girl is 50
sweet and charming and withal so
touching that the presentation actu-
ally moved some of the spectators
to tears.
Mr.. Richard Bar.helmess was par
ticularqy happy in the role OF the
Chink, presenting the character with
the repression and aloofness which it
required.
Mr.. Donald Crisp as the brutal
father, and our own Kid Mccoy as
his opponent in the ring, were the
