NATIONAI-"Seventh Heaven"

one Of Producer John GOldenS = most
noted productions, Seventh Heaven"
opens tomorrow night at the National,
with John Warner in a role quite un-
like any in Which he has been seen
heretofore.
This play had two solid years on
Broadway with George Gaul and
Helen Menken in the lead parts. It's
success not only helped swell the
John Golden fortune, but it also ele-
waited Helen Menken to stardom.
Seventh Heaven" has a number of
engrossing qualities, particularly the
three essentials that any successful
play must have, namely, characterize
ton, dialogue and situation. 1t is
peopled with types of the Paris slums,
and every character in it is made in
dispensable to the action.
The central figures are Diane. a
street waif, and Chico, self admittedly
"a most remarkable fellow" whose
profession is that of administering to
the requirements of the underground
sewers Love comes to Diane and
Chico, they move to 4 garret and are
barely enscOnced in what they call
their seventh heaven when the red
mouthed orators of war start helch-
ing and Chico is modified, which to
Diane means the end of her little
world.
Austin Strong. the author, has
written a gripping second act, which
has become famous as a softener of
hard hearts 1t is in this act that
Chico tears himself away from his
sweethearts arms to join his regi-
ment, heard marching by in the
streets below. The entire action is
laid between the declaration of war
and the armstice. and the conven-
tional happy ending is tempered by
deeply tragid note.
The piece is studded with unusual
types, and like as not the National
Players may not do better produc-
ton this season.

POOR MAN FAILS
 TO GET JUSTICE
Yale Law School Speaker Ez-
 pounds on Facts

New Haven, Nov. IT R-Although the general scheme of our law Is ad- mirable in its impartiality, our social organization fails to provide justice for the poor, in the opinion of Prof. William R. Vance of the Yale school of law.
 Speaking on Justice and the Poor" before the Kiwanis club here today. he declared that the little claim of the poor man is just as im- portant to him as is large claim to rich man. Yet the delays con- nected with the enforcement of legal proceedings are such that the time required to get action is far more valuable in most small claims of the poor than the amount to be col lected.
 In seeking an adequate remedy to the situation, he suggested that the defects of our present system of justice" first be analysed. These defects, summarily stated. he said, may be given as three; one, costs; two, attorneys fees, and three, de- lay.
 "The remedies for these defects can be stated only briefly" he con- tinued. Tn the first place it is obvious that the provision must be made for free and easily accessible legal advice to poor litigants. In New Haven county the public defender gives advice to those charged with crime. There should also be a free legal aid office where persons un- able to employ an attorney could go for advice as to their civil rights in different situations.
 Second, there should be set up courts specially organized for the summary disposition of petty dis putes. which shall at once be open to all without fees or other costs, and so informal procedure that a poor litigent could obtain the relief to which he might be entitled with out the aid of an attorney by simply telling his story to the judge. And, thirdly, the procedure in these courts should be so summary that the re- lief granted will follow almost i'm mediately on complaint made"

The tourist season will soon be
here again and thousands of tourists
viii be with us. Many of these
never visited our fair city before.
1t is time we prepared to welcome
them. To make them feel at home.
To treat them decently.
We like to have them spend their
money here with us, is true but that
is not all. If they are made to feel
that they are welcomed simply for
the money they spend, they are not
likely to preserve any soft spots in
their hearts for our town. Too
often this is true and it is time we
took inventory of ourselves, this be-
ing inventory time, and find out just
what this city needs and how we
can best meet the stranger within
our gates. How to make him feel
at home and let him have what he
wants when me wants it and if he
doesn't see it, will feel ready to ask
for it.
Give them the hearty warm clasp
of welcome not the cold chilling
hand shake of formality. Treat
them fairly, they are human, event
though they may not have lived here
forty years. They may have lived
in a larger town and for longerl
time. This is a good town and one
well worth boosting, but. we are

three minutes old before Eveleth
had made four points on free
throws, however Ely countered with
a basket, but Eveleth scored an
other, which was soon followed by
two more Ely field goals. The
count knotted, Eveleth spurted and
scored three baskets and a free

two more baskets before the half
ended. Score Eveleth Is, Ely TO-.
Ely took the offensive during the
second half and bombarded the Eve

court but TO no avail for the ball

Say brother, did you ever hear of
Lake Placid.
Undoubtedly you have, for this
place is much in the public eye,
and pictures of the winter sports
which are held there frequently APP
pear in the newspapers and on the
screen. The history of the Lake
Placid country has been something
akin to that of Florida.
For many years it was aLplace
where there was a lake and few
hills with no particular activities,
and then suddenly the people dis
covered what they had and proceed
ed to take advantage of it, with the
result that Lake Placid is now a
winter resort only little less popu-
lar than Florida.
The winter sports, skating, ski
riding, tobogganing, ETC., are the
only attractions at Lake Placid, and
that place is not one bit better
suited for such sports than is the
country right around here with its
hundreds OF fine lakes and hills so
admirably adapted for ski riding,
snowshoeing and tobogganing and
with our invariable fine winters
ad plentiful falls of snow. Some
day the natural adaptability of this
section for winter sports will be
taken advantage of.
What we need here, is persistent
boosting for winter sports and the
Ely Ski Club tournament of two
weeks ago was the beginning and
brought to the world at large the
knowledge of what we have to offer
in this line in this summer or win
ter Playground of a Nation.
Next week Duluth will further
cinch the subject with its Frolic
Week. Then Hibbing Northern
Minnesota. and the Arrowhead
Country will in GiIne pat Lake
Placid in the shade. And why not
We have everything they have and
ten times as much of it. And right
her let US tell you that Ely is the
logical spot for a winter playground.
We have the climate, the snow, the
ice, the hills, the woods and every
thing that goes with outdoor win
ter sports in any of their phases.
Let's go!

Ely was helpless before Gilbert's
terrific onslaught, especially in the
second quarter when the Gilbert
players rung up total of nineteen

on even terms, Gilbert only being
able to procure three points while
Ely went scoreless. By playing
whirlwind basketball coupled with
lucky shooting Gilbert went on a
scoring rampage in the second
period and scored more points than
were altogether scored in the other
three quarters. The brilliant long
shooting of Connor of Gilbert feat

was made during this period by

ball during the final half of the
game, Gilbert being able to secure
only seven points, however, the poor
attack of the home team offset their
good defense for only one point was
scored by Ely during the entire
second half. Much fouling was in
evidence during the game, Gilbert
securing seven points Through the
