AF THE MAJESTIC.

Paris jumps once again into the
limelight of motion picture enter
tainment as the background of
Moulin Rouge which yesterday
opened an engagement at the Ma
jestic theatre.
Queen OF Moulin Rouge" is not
entirely new to the public. Paul
Potter's play of the same name. was
one of noted popularity not so many
years ago and had the record run
OF an entire season at the Circle
theatre in New York.
The midnight-to-dawn district of
Paris figures most prominently in
the atmosphere of Queen OF Moulin
Rouge" A trio of important char
acters consists OF young French
girl with a genius in dancing and
with an ambition along the same
line of art. a young violin student
who lacks nothing but the fire of
his genius and the old teacher who
hit upon a novel plan to cause the
fire Of genius to course through the
fingers OF the young musician.

-UmpireS Decision is
COstliest in History

I One decision by the arbitrator'
burnt up s12O. 900 that would have
gone to the major league club
owners.
The calling Of the second game OF
the series on account of darkness
with the score a tie at to turned
out TO be the costliest ruling in
baseball.
When Snodgrass muffed a fly ball
in the 1912 series between Boston
and New York he deprived the
Giants OF the series and the New
York players of about $4,000. That
was the difference between the win
ming and losing end of the receipts.
That error on the part of Snod-
grass was knockout TO the ath-
letes, but it in no way compared to
the jolt handed the magnates by the
darkness decision reached by I'm
pires Hildebrand and KLEIN.
The actions of the crowd in the
near-mobbing Of Judge Lands
caused the high commissioner and
the magnates to become panic
stricken. Some of the ever-suspic-
lous fans said the umpires called
the game at the request Of the
Judge. that there was collusion be-
tween the magnates and the UNI
pires.
In order TO allay the suspicious of
fandom in general the two New
York clubs donated the entire re-
ceipts Of the second game to char
ity.
For years world series umpires
have been trying to get a slight
raise in salary with only fair sue
cess. One decision now costs the |
over 100000.

To say that Lillian Gish is one OF

about like saying that water is wet
It is a self-evident fact not even dis

stands out like a flash of lightning
on a dark night In certain phases
of her work, she ranks with the
greatest tragediennes of all times.
and never in all her varied screen
career has Miss Gish done greater

SAYS WEST wIJMINGTON'S
TOUCHDOWN WAS ILLEGAL
Wilmington, Del.

October 16. 1922
Mr.. Benjamin Greenstein,
Sporting Editor.
The Evening Journal.
Dear Sir:
on last Saturday. West Whining
ton and Ninth Ward played a foot
ball game on the grounds OF tho
former club, which West Whining
ton won by the score of TO b, the
points being scored in the first min
ute OF play on a questionable deci-
sion by the referee.
West Wilmington had Just started
a play when the referee. who was
standing about two yards from the
side line, or someone directly be-
hind him blew a whistle and yelled
"off-slde." The man with the ball
continued running after the whistle
had blown, and scored a Touch
DOWN." Now IL the referee blew
his whistle. he was in error, but tne
rules state that when he inadvsrenly
does so. he ball Is dead and no play
can result.
ht AtAtAtt DAOukAL AAAt Udll UdGh
to where play had started and after
a conference with the West Whining
ton players and fans. he decided that
he had not blown his whistle and
that the score should count. which
decision decided the result OF the
game, as no other scores were made
during the remainder OF the contest
\The referee was using a whistle,
double tube affair which had been
furnished by West Wilmington. the
whistle that was blown must have
been of the same type. as the sound
was exactly the same as that o. tho
referees whistle. The referee did
not say that no whistle had blown.
but that he had not blown his whis-
tie. everybody admitted that a whls-
tie had blown. and as the umpire
was using an altogether different
type OF whistle and as he was about
80 yards away at the time. he is
eliminated from the discussion. II
would also like TO mention that the I
head linesman did not have whis-
tie.
Now II the referee did not blow |
the whistle, someone directly behind |
him did, as the sound came from
his vicinity, and this act was COM
mitted with the evident intention OF |
Ninth Ward. as the
West Wilmington players did not pay |
he least attention TO the whistle.
To my mind this was an unfair
lct, and under the rules the referee
has the power TO render decision
m any question not covered by the
'ules. The decision he rendered
vas that the score should count.
/ would be very glad, IL at the
iext meeting OF the officials OF the
v f. A, you would have this ques-
lon discussed, and a decision rend-
red as TO whether or not the referee
endered the correct decision. and
they do not recommend that the
anne be replayed.
Yours truly,
JOHN J. DEVINE,
Manager Ninth Ward A. A.
Note:-The question could no
oubt be discussed at the next meet

or these intermediates, one line OF
treatment will produce drugs, another
high explosives, another poison gases,
still other perfumes, food havors and
Photographic materials. Some have
varying peace and war time uses with
out further treatment. 1t should be
noted that some of these crudes re-
quire as many as fifteen manipulations
to produce a given compound and in
each manipulation a by-product is
produced which again must be made
into something useful in order to avoid
waste.
1t is because of this treatment and
fetreatment Of coal, crudes and inter-
mediates that it is so easy to convert a
dye plant into a factory for the pro-
duction Of high explosives or poison
Gus gases almost over night.
Germany was indeed farsighted,
back in 1859, when she took advantage
of Perkins discovery, and began the
development of gigantic dye industry
so that she might never be without the
crudes and intermediates SO essential
to success in war or peace.
Germany developed the synthetic
dye industry, just as she developed
other industries, to create employment
and wealth for her millions. But
through these developments she learn
ed the value Of chemistry, Of chemicals
and of chemists themselves. She real
lied early how dependent her peace
development was on chemistry and
she soon saw the value of chemical in
dustries to war. Germany saw that
the manufacture of dyes required much
chemical research and also that dye
making made use of the waste prod
ucts from the coke ovens, themselves
a necessity to her iron and steel in
dustry. She saw its value in the pro-
duction of explosives, gases and fer
tilizers for her fields. This foresight
gave Germany forty year start on
the United States, and the rest of the
world.
