south Congregationalists 10 See Additional Chap tcrs in Life of Lincoln.

The third and fourth chapters ol "Ths Son of Democracy" l0 be shown al the south Congregational church tomorrow evening, portray Abraham Lincoln at inc outbreak Of ihn war These pictures, show the life of Lincoln rom his hoyhood days to inc morn stirring scenes of the war of Inc rebellion. The third and f0urih chap ttrs show the Lincoln family in the White House, illustrating the charac- ter Of the great president, hoset with tremendous problems, yot always able to find time for his hoys, Though earnestly desiring to avoid war, he never loses sight Of the important thing. the preservation Of the union. The response to his call for volun- teers thrills as did the response 10 the call Of democracy m the World war.
 The first jury trial, where Abc Lin- coin as q boy ably defended n little negro boy accused or chicken steal. Ing. was one Of the turning points in his career. The incident closely re- sembes Daniel webster's famous de- tense of the woodchucks and reveals that the boy Lincolns life was as va ried and as humorous as that of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The barnyard jury is a scream.

.METHOD|STS PLAN
 TWO PLAYS FRIDAY
"1he Old Peabody PeW' and a Comedy Sketch Will Be Given

A play that will be dramatizatior
 by Kate Douglas Wiggin of her owr story entitled "The Old Peabody Pew will be produced by special arrange ment with Samuel French of New York, at Trinity Methodist church Friday evening at o'clock. The play will be given under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid society of the local church.
 The story tells of the need for re- pairs of the old church in a New Eng land village and of how the faithful women planned and contrived to maintain their heritage in the church they loved so well. Under the pro- grcssve rule of M,A Jere Burbank, the president, a new chimney has been built to the church, new furnace and new cabinet organ purchased.
 The greatest struggle of all was for the women to earn money enough to shingle the roof, which had leaked, consistently. for nearly half cen tury. The leaks were stopped finally, and the sisters of the Ladies Aid leaned back in their rocking chairs and drew deep breaths of satisfaction. But a visitor was heard to remark that the meeting house would be one of the most attractive in the state If it were more suitably carpeted.
 So the women cut and stitched and sewed through the long winter eve nings, to carpet the aisles and plat forms, leaving the owners of the pews to furnish their own carpet A beau tiful love story of a Christian maiden and the almost hopeless struggle Of the man. ending in the glad reunion in the meeting house, runs through out the play.
 The characters are as follows: Mrs.

FAKE. ,HOLD-UPS
| ROUSE IRE Of
| POLICE
Spend Hours Tracing Thugs
Only To Find Complain
ant Is Romancing

Police are becoming angered over
the number Of fake hold-ups that are
being reported, especially at this
time when every man on the force
is doing his utmost to clear the
town of thieves or pickpockets prior
to the Shriners' convention.
Frank Dorsey. colored, thirty-four
years old, Ills Ninth street north
west, after being treated at Elmer
gency Hospital last night, for a
bruised eye and an injured lip, told
attendants that he had been held up
on Conduit road at lonely place
and after having beaten him the
thugs" kidnapped his woman com.
panion. Police here and in Mary.
land spent much valuable time in
trying to roundup the so-called
thugs. Later, according to the po-
lice, Dorsey, admitted that he and
another negro and two women went
automobile riding, and when out on
the road a fight started. He was
thrown from the machine he said
and had to walk to the city.
Police officials said that it would
be as logical to have a law against
such practices as it is to have a law
forbidding the sounding of false
alarms of fire. Both the fire and
police departments, officials say, are
always subject to be called out in an
emergency and their time is too
valuable to be wasted by false re-
ports.

SHE'D ENFORCE LOGAN
ACT TO BAR LORD CECIL

Enforcement of the old Logan
act would not only protect the
United States from dangerous rev.
olutionists,," but would bar such
itinerant political meddlers as Lord
Robert Cecil and Lady Aston" from
this country, Mary G. Kilbreth,
president of the Women's Patriotic
Publishing Company, declared today
in a letter to President Harding.
The Logan act provides penalties
for offenses against the existence
Of the Government, and prohibits
illegal intercourse between Ameri-
can citizens and foreign govern
ments not recognized by the United
States.
With her letter to the President,
Mrs. killbreth forwarded copies of
charges made last month against
William Il. Foster and other officers
of the Workers Party of America,
which is alleged to be directed
from Moscow, explaining that no
answer had been received to her
letter to the Attorney General.
