poignant and striking Is contained in the feature, Lend Me Your Hus- band" The picture depicts society life and deals with the continual lending of husbands and other such things by a so-caled society belle whose beauty and charm permits her to get away with 1t for time. However, there appears on the scene a charming villain. a triner with women's affections and the combin- ation proves dramatic. Doris Ken yon and David Powell have the leading roles.
 The settings for this picture take place in gorgeous homes of the rich, in an exquisitely furnished country club and on board the s. S. Paris of the French line. All Of these sur roundings are handled with rare skill and make for a production that Is at once interesting and la,i-h.

DUPONT co. HEAD
 DESCRIBES ETHYL
This Gas Contains Little Tetra-
 Ethyl Lead, He Says

Wilmington, Del, Oct. s1.--Irenee Dupont, President of the Dupont Company, has made the following statement concerning the experience of the company with the manufac- ture of the Tetra -Ethyl-Lead..
 "Tetra- -Ethyl-Lead, wrich the Du- pont Company Is manufacturing on q commercial scale, and which is re- ported as. the cause of the recent un- fortunate accident at the Bayway plant of the Standard Oil Company, should not be confused with Ethyl gas, an improved motor fuel which contains less than one tenth Prat of 1 per cent of Tetra- -Ethyl-Lead.
 'Tetra- -Ethyl-Lead is poisonous and it's manufacture involves risks but no more so than many chemicals manufactured and used in enormous ly greater amount.
 "The Dupont Company during the experimental period, and during the inception of manufacturing experi- enced much trouble, with men be- coming poisoned to various degrees of seriousness and even to the ex- tent of fatalities. During the past year of production when more than one hundred men have been employ ed, continuously, the difficulty has diminished steadily. In the past sev- eral months under full production, only slight difficulties have been en- countered. Experience has taught the necessary precaution, both in plant and medical care.
 We find that workmen cumula- lively poisoned by this material in- variably indicate it in the incipient stages before any harm is done by a marked symptoms pressure. Doctors in the employ of the company con- tinually make this test on workers en gagged in this process

NEW ENGLAND'S REGULAR
 ARMY UNITS FILLED UP
Recruiting Is Suspended and More Than 800 Names Arc Now
 On Waiting List

Boston, Oct, 3i.--Regular army recruiting for New England units has been suspended for the time being and 500 names have been placed on waiting list, according to the announcement made at head quarters of the first army corps here today. Regiments and batteries sta- toned in this area are not only re- cruited to full strength but now have more than 200 men over the number provided for in the army organiza- ton tables,
 Never before in peace time has a waiting list been established in New England, Colonel Frank B. Watson, recruiting officer of the First Corps Area, said. The situation is not caused by unemployment Colonel Watson said, but is created by the reenlistment of many of the sol- diers who sign up for another per- iod as soon as their terin of service has expired. Further reenlistments, however, will be refused until the local units are brought down to authorized strength.

BELL RINGERS PERFORM
Swedish Musicians, Assisted By Lo- cal Artists, Provide Pleasing Con- cert at First Lutheran Church.

More than 1000 people crowded into the First Lutheran church last evening to hear the concert by the Scandinavian Bell Ringers on their fourth, trip to this city and their third in the First Lutheran church. The program included selection on the recently rebuilt organ by Thure W. F'rederickson, two selections by the Arpi sextette and 12 by the bell ringers.
 The Scandinavian bell ringers plan to return to their home in Sweden next June in time for the annual summer festi- val. They have 125 bells, but have a new set of more than 200 now under construction in Europe. The bells are of various alloys, the pre- dominating alloy being brass and are hand hammered. The new set has been under construction for more than year, going through three different concerns, and is ex- pected to be ready for use about January 1. They range in weight from a few ounces to Is pounds.
 The system of playing is exactly the same theory as piano playing and is the invention of Alfred Jos ephson. leader of the group, who de- veloped 1t 20 years ago. There are five musicians, making 10 hands and each hand stands in relation to the bells as individual fingers to the keys on a piano.
 The men have played more than 250 concerts in all parts of the country since they crossed the wa ter. They left this morning for a western tour and expect to be back in New Britain for farewell con- cert before sailing for Sweden, They are under the direction Of George Rinschrist of Springfield, their American manager.
 After the concert last night the visiting musicians permitted an in spection of their bells and many who tried to swing the larger bells ranging from 12 to IS pounds, real ized what tremendous physical ef- fort is required to accomplish this feat, especially when two are han died at once.

SPANISH LOVE- AT CAPITOL

The feature. attraction at the Palace now playing is the Keith headliner Spanish Love-" q big offering with nine clever entertain CTS. Spanish Love may not be more affectionate than any other kind but 1t Is more picturesque especially as shown in this vaudeville offering. The music could not be Spanish if it did not have guitar and so there are four guitars, violin and mandolin, Spanish dances, and a variety of songs. You cant im- prove upon nature. There is a comedian named Bob George who calls himself Natures Laff." George sings, dances, and talks, do- ing all three in an original and somewhat unusual way and proved q big hit at the shows yesterday. Mack and Stanton offer Home Sweet Home," fine little travesty which verifes the truthfulness of this line from the famous song. The offering is surprise and will be well liked by all who see it. Mack and Stanton are capable comedians and their skit is brimful of good wholesome clean fun. Stanley and Elva present fine wire offering that shows number of new stunts in an original manner. The Four Peasant Singers received big ap- plause for their fine harmony sing ing, offering folk songs for all folks.
