easy and being always somewhere

was right on the job and wanting TO
keep at it from sun-up till shutdown,

OF NEW CITY
SEWER TO Be GIVEN

Plans win be submitted to the en-
gineers of the Central and Lehigh
Valley railroads this week by City
Engineer Louis z. Booz, Jr., show
ing the location of the new trunk
line sewer. to be installed west Of the
railroad tracks, in order that the
present system may be changed to
meet the requirements of the grade
crossing elimination. The plans are
of particular interest to the railroad
engineers as they show the points at
which the sewer will cross under
the tracks, and which must receive
the approval of the railroads before
the work can be advertised for BIDS.
After the plans have been inspect
ed by the railroad engineers they
will be returned to the office of En-
gineer Booz and will show whether
the sewer can remain as outlined by
Mr.. Booz, or changes made in order
to meet the requiem emit of the rail-
road. 1t is still doubtful when the
plans will be ready for bids, but 1t
is held that much of the preliminary
work will nave been completed when
the plans conform with the railroad
requirements.

Strand Attraction

That large, expensive sets do not
always contain the best opportuni-
ties for drama is being exsmplifed
at the Paramount studio where a
stodgy tenement interior and a light
OF stairs therein forms the focal
point for a series of rapid and in
tensely dramatic scenes in Kick In"
George Fftzmaurice's new Para
mount picture featuring Betty Comp
son, Bert Lytell and May McAvoy,
which comes to the Strand theatre
today, Tuesday and Wednesday.
The crsmped, cheap tenement only
cost a few hundred dollars 10 con-
struct, but in it are packed some of
the best Genes of an unusually capa-
bic group of screen players, includ-
ing Betty Compson, Bert Lytell, NAV
McAvoy, Gareth Hughes and Walter
Long. There are the efforts of the
three crooks, Lytell, Hughes and
Miss McAvoy to go straight" there
are the attempts of the law. repre-
scented by Walter Long, to thwart
this intention; there is the pathos of
| pathetic little Myrtle weeping over
| the plight of "Bennie' who stole
once more to ave her and there is a
dramatic scene in which Betty
Conpson, as the district attorneys
daughter, fights by the side OF the
crook she has learned TO love and
| trust.
E~ye-flling sets and beautiful
gowns are not missing in Kick In
however. Indeed, they are plentiful
in the earlier sequences OF this Ouids

DitmAs Theater

Thrills, breath taking and grip.
ping. romance, heart interest, humor.
psthos and scenic effects that SUR
pass anything ever before attempted
are combined in the Elmer Clifton
production Down TO the Sea in
ships" which will be the feature at
traction at the Ditmas theater all
this week. starting today, and which
comes here from l. record break
ing weeks at the Cameo Thester New
York City.
Before the astounded eyes OF the
audience is depicted in this amazing
drama an actual combat with a eo~
ton whale. This huge leviathan of
the deep is seen in battle with a
crew OF six whalemen. n of whom,
Raymond Mckee, the start OF the
picture, has launched his harpoon
into the ocean monster. All the
thrilling details Of this unusual
combat are wildly shown, in which
the lives Of the participants were in
jeopardy many times; the chase, the
happening, and finally the great
moment when the mammal, enraged
and maddened with pain, charged
the small boat and smashed it to
kindling.
The story is written by John L. r.
Pell, a native OF New England, and
the cooperation of all the citizeuA of
New Bedford was eagerly given in
the production of the picture. which
is intended to perpetuate for all time
the golden days of whaling.
In addition to an abundance of
thrills, it is replete with heart inter
est revolving around a beautiful
Quaker maiden and a youth not a
Quaker, who is determined to be-
come a whaleman in order TO win
the girl OF his heart.

SEEK CLUE IN GIRL'SS
MURDER At PATERSON


PATERSON. May 21-Paterson
Police today are bending all the en-
ergies TO solving the mysterious
murder OF Jessie Pieken1a. the nine
teen year old silk worker. whose
body was found in a vacant lot on
North Second street Saturday.
Despite the most rigid inYestiga-
ton. the police say they have not
been able to unearth the slightest
clue to the identity OF the girls
slayer. The only clue the police
have to work on resulted from the
autopsy and analysis OF the con-
TENS of the girls stomach. made BY
DIR. frank r. Sandt. DIR. Sandt de-
oiared the girl died almost instantly
from strangulation due to a fracture
of a bone at the base OF the tongue.
Only a powerfully built man could
have caused the girls death in the
manner indicated by the autopsy, he
said.
The analysis, the physician said,
indicated that the girl had died
about an hour after she stood chat
ting and eating peanuts with two girl
friends, Matte Tanis and Gertrude
Myers. The spot where the body was
found was only about two minutes
walk from where the three girls
separated. the police say. The police
are bending every effort to discover
the girls movements between the
time she left her friends at about
$3.50 and the apparent time OF her
death an hour later.
DR.. Sandt said the girl had been
crindinally assaulted after her death.
His opinion was confirmed by County
Physician Robert r. A. Armstrong,
Doctors Andrew F. Mcbride and
Leon Deyce, who assisted in the
autOusv.
