living in Loudon, either influenced
by the fact that the Kennebec valley
offered greater advantages tnan

ing the tiresome train ride to Wis

Did you ever hear of the trip a
Scotch friend of mine took?" he
asked. HE went to Coney Island
to spend a lot of money and have
good time. The first concession
he halted at was filled with those
machines where you put a yenny in
the slot.
He inserted a penny in a ma
chine where YOU blow into a tube
and if YOU blow hard enough the
penny is automatically returened.
The next morning they found him
dead. lying by the machine, with all
his vest buttons missing.

vEN|ZE:.LOS ON
WAY To GREECE
Return of Former Premier to
Cause Great Stir, Athens
Declares

ATHENS, Dec. &c (By The Asso-
ciated Press).-The decision of for
mer Premier Venizelos to pay q
visit to Greece without, however. re-
turning to the political arena, as he
says in his telegram announcing his
prospective return, is v%ariously com
mented on in political circles.
The Liberals naturally are graft
fed, believing Venizelos can be in
duced to take up once more the retns
of government. The Republicans
are perplexed, for they do not YET
know the real purpose of his return.
They say the political situation IN
Greece has not been correctly repre-.
scented to the former premier, and
they express satisfaction at the fact
that he is to study the situation at
first hand and make sure of the
relative strength of the several par
ties.
The royalists allege that Venizelos
has long been pining to return tc
Greece and that his repeated affirm
alton of his determination to abstain
from politics, as we'll as Geographic
appeals to his patriotism, were
staged in order to facilitate his re
turn.
The reunion of the Greek nation is
regarded as n difficult task which
only a politician of Venizelo's abili-
ties can perhaps achieve.

THEATRES
At the Ditmas


JOHNNY Hines. called the George
NJ. Conan of the screen, has the star
ring role in Little Johnny JONES'
which is the feature attraction to-
day at the Ditmas Theatre. This
comedian of shadowland is credited
with possessing an assortment of pep
and laughter that is the envy of his
rivals and the delight of his audi
ences. BY his ability to gallop
through a picture and squeeze his
personality into every inch of it, he
has rapidly forged to the forefront
OF screen personalities.
Little Johnny Jones' is a Warner
Brothers classic of the screen,
adapted from the famous play of the
same name written by George NJ.
Conan. and the vehicle in which that
stage personality won his spurs and
made himself a Broadway figure
once for all.
1t is a drama of the turf. a story
of the American jockey, Johnny
Jones, out to win the Derby race and
a sweetheart. and of a gambler who
enlists the services of gangsters to
foil the lad In both ambitions. Robert
Anstead. gambler and horseman, pits
his flair of crookedness against the
pluck and daring of the jockey. who
is accused of agreeing to throw away
the race. and produces documents to
prove it.. When this plot fails. the
gambler contrives to have acid
thrown into Johnny's eyes as he
forges past to victory al the last
stretch. But this, too, fails in the
end.

GET NO NEWS
Of DIR|G|BLE
Paris Still Awaits Information
of the Dixmude-IS
Near Algeria

PARIS, Dec. &c (By The Associ-
ated Press).-The Ministry of Ma
rine at $3.50 O'Clock this morning had
received no information as to the
whereabouts of the dirigible Dix
nude. from which nothing authentic
has beer heard since she reached
Biskra, Tunis. last Friday afternoon
on her return flight to Cuers-Pierre-
feu from Southern Algeria.
Officials at the ministry said this
morning that although they had re-
ceived many messages reporting the
airship's presence over various parts
of Tunis and the s%eacoast, they con-
sidered hat the latest trustworthy
news was the official dispatch from
Biskra last Friday announcing her
arrival there. 1t was at this point
that the DiXmude was instructed by
wireless to remain in the South be-
cause of a violent torn along the
French coast.
The message in question was sent
at 1900 p. NJ, Friday at which hour
the dirigible was seen twelve miles
from Uled Jellal. thirty-three miles
from Biskra, which is about 1926
miles south of the Mediterranean
coast. The dixmude was then pro-
ceeding southwark.
If she continued to travel as a
fee balloon, without help from her
motors, department officials express
ed the opinion that she might cover
considerable distances, as it was es-
timated that she had twelve tons
of water on board for ballast, with
out reckoning her motors and ac-
cessories. II she has landed 1t is
considered improbable that the
landing could have been effected
without accident.
Regarding the food on board the
dirigible, it Is stated now that in adj
dition to fresh meat and other per-
ishable foods sufficient for three
days she carried an eight day supply
of biscuits and an eleven day stock
of preserved meat. together with 800
gallons of water, a three day supply,
and her twelve tons of water ballast.
A revised statement of the number
of persons on board given out tSday
says the total was 48-12 officers and
36 men. Naval Lieutenant Du Plessis
De Grenedan, who commanded the
Dixmude, was the officer who
brought her from Germany with her
German crew when she was surren-
dered under the peace treaty. He has
continued to command her ever since
but this was to be his last voyage,
as he was about to be promoted.
The DiXmude, as Zeppelin LIZ,
took very little part in the war ope-
rations. She has six cars suspended
from her main structure, each with
a 399-horsepower motor. Between
September 25 and SEPTEMBER 80 she
established a record for a nonstop
flight with a total of 11S hours fly
ing.

HADDON WINS WRITES
PARODY ON "PINAFORE'

Those who witnessed the perform
ance of His Honor, the Mayor of
Hoboken," presented early this
month by local talent in the mile
Square City" are still talking about
the songs and hits which pleased and
delighted capacity houses on two
nights The comedy, a parody on
III. NJ. S. Pinafore," was written by
Haddon WINS, editor of the Hudson
Dispatch, and who years ago was a
prominent figure in Perth Amboy
newspaper work.
Those who can go back to tie
days of the old Musi Hall on High
street will recall the r. sentation
there of "Pinafore" by an amateur
cast and they will unanimously say
"Dich Deadeye" when Mr.. " ass
name is mentioned in connection
with the Hoboken parody. That Is
the part he took there, repeating
his Perth Amboy success of r"ny
years ago.
One of the bright, particular parts
of the parody was the song when
I Was a Lad" sung by 'the Rt. Hon.
Frank Hague"
