the unsound policy of a Judge irving
his own case. But the case is differ.
ent. The Judge is a woman. The
theme does not ring true. 1t is a
laugh up to the last act when Hodge
as a playwright and actor, tells and
acts the troubles that mere man has
as the husband of a female judge.
The courtroom scene with the
woman presiding in her own divorce
suit and with her own husband op-
posing her is most simple theater.
But in the hands of Hodge both as
playwright and as an actor it be-
comes most effective theater.
THE Judges Husband" is just
sort of vehicle that you would ex-
pect William Hodge to be in. He is
an institution of happiness on the
stage.
And as long as he is such an in
stitution and as long as he insists
upon writing his own plays of GER

as long as "Abie's Irish Rose" exists

Two Issues Dominant

San Diego is vitality interested in
two questions right now-first.
whether to create a civic center on
the water front, as John Nolen's
plan provides; and, second, the Boul.
der dam.
The civic center problem Is too
local and too complicated for discus
sion in column Of this character.
John Nolen, however, Is one of the
ablest and most experienced city
planners in this country, and his ad.
vice should not be ignored without
grave elaboration.

Mr.. FiXit: Judging FROM the LOOKS
Of the alley in the rear of the eagt
side of S. Talbot ST., between
Palmer st, and Terrace St, one
would think that it is the Official
ash dumping grounds of the city.
This alley was in a terrible shape
before the people started using 1t
for a dump but you should see it
now. / thought there was an ordi-
nance prohibiting this. Here's hop
ing you can get some results.
ONE WHO HOPES FOR A
CLEANER ALLEY.
Mr.. FiXit took this matter up
with the city ash collector, Truly
NoIen, who promised to go out and
view the alley and see what can
be done to remedy the situation.
Dear Sir: Last September called
the city street commissioner about
the condition of the alley from Fifty
Sixth St. to Northview, between
Carrollton and Guilford SITS. At that
time he told me that they were pre-.
pairing to put cinders on 1t in Dc
tober. | called him in October ana
he said tha5 the funds for that pur
pose were exhausted and nothing
could be done.
AS long as the ground was frozen
1 can use by garage, but when it is
muddy from snow or rain 1 must
either discontinue using my car or
leave it parked In front Of nay house.
Could you possibly advise me as
to how I could get the city to put
cinders on this alley or otherwise
make it passable in bad weather?
f. L. S.
Mr. FiSit has brought this mat n
ter to the attention of, Georgev
Woodward, street commissioner.
Woodward promised Mr.. Flxh
that he would take care Of the
matter at once. II nothing is
done to remedy the matter Mr..
Fixit would suggest that r. l.. s.
petition the board Of works to
permanently improve the alley.
