TRENTON, Aug. 1.-The Supreme
Court has decided that a municipal
coming ordinance arbitrarily limiting
the number of families occupying a
dwelling a given district exceeds the

and Is therefore void. The opinion

directs a peremptory writ of Man
damus permitting Catherine d. Yer

than one family in a residence with
in the prescribed area.
Chief Justice Gummere pointed
out that the purpose Of zoning
ordinances in New Jersey is to pre-
serve the health and welfare Of the
citizens of a community, and that
regulations imposed by municipal
relation to this object. He remark
ed that under the Westfield ordin-
| ordinances must bear a reasonable

posed of fewer persons than one
family, would be prevented from oc-
! cupying a home larger in size than
that a single large family. Such

Strand Attraction


In the newest Preferred Pictures
production, Money, Money, Money!"
which was made known for the first
time in this city last evening at the
Strand, Katherine Macdonald, the
famous Associated First National
screen beauty, has a role that must
have delighted her heart when she
played it. The part is the daughter
of a small town manufacturer, a
kind, benevolent. supplemented old
fellow and whose financial status
does not permit his family to be in
cluded as among the towns social
elect until n momentous day his
wife is notified of a legacy of con
siderable proportions.
Then there is nothing, in a social
way, that is too good for the former
humble family.
The town banker makes a large
advance on the legacy. taking the
fathers endorsement with his manu-
featuring plant as security. When
the denNGement comes, when it is
known tHS the legacy is but for an
infinitesima1 amount of the loan, and
when the family has come to a real
ization that their suddenly-acquired
wealth has not brought them one
whit of happiness, but that it has. in
fact, been a detriment in every way
and has turned the charming ging-
ham attired daughter into a typical
flapper, it becomes necessary for this
same daughter to come to her pa
rents rescue, which she does very
cleverly and very dramatically.
OF course. Miss Macdonald is the
gingham-gowned girl who is trans
formed by suddenly acquired wealth
into a maid of the flapper class and
she portrays both characters very
skillfully, very delightfully."-, and in a
very intense dramatic manner.
