The p~hotoplay takes up n modern
family rich enough to do things the
members desire 10 do. The father is
just returning home from a three.
year reconstruction trip in Europe.
He finds his wife and his children
changed. They have become inflicted
with the spirit of a fast moving age.
His elder daughter is known among.
her friends as "Swlftle" and the
younger daughter is doing the best
she can to follow in her footsteps.
The restraints brought about by the

ANXIETY IN LONDON
OVER O u SEIZURES.

LONDON. June 25.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-In several editorial ar
ticles In London newspapers there Is
a decided note OF anxiety lest the
controversy over the seizure of liquor
on British vessels at New York lead
to serious I'll feeling between Great
Britain and the United States. These
newspapers express the hope hat
people here will refrain from intern
perate and uniformed criticism of
what is held to be a purely legal
question.
The hasty condemnation Of the SUI
preme courts liquor ruling which
marked some OF the earlier comment
also deprecated in a section Of the
press, which pays high tribute 10 the
exalted legal and moral status of the
court.
The Daily Telegraph urges ire
course to arbitration and suspension
of the new regulations pending the
decision of n chosen tribunal" The
Telegraph suggests The Hague trib-
unAl or the permanent court OF inter
natlonsl justice as a medium.
Some non-editorlai commentators
here argue that British contraband-
lists, by helping Americans to break
their own law, are putting Great
Britain into a YER awkward hole
What is Presumably the official
view OF the Socialist Labor party is
expressed by the Daily Herald, which
says the United States is perfectly
within its right and that there should
be no support in England for any
hostile action toward America ON n
matter like this.
