tainment
The unfolding of the lives OF
the underworld characters in an
environment Of crime, their
methods of ~preying on organized
society, their ferocious struggles
with men paid to uphold the law,
and the intimate side of their
natures in following out impulses
and emotions in love and hate,
provide the basis of the story
written by Ben Hecht.
The climax is declared to be
extraordinarily thrilling, show
ing how city street may take
on the aspect of a battlefield,
with police reserves rushing up
to a house where desperate
gangster is trapped and has de.

STANLEY CHIEF Is
INSURED FOR
MILLION

John J. McGuirk, president OF
the Stanley Company of America
and until recently president Of
First National Players. joined the
ranks of heavily insured business
executives when the Stanley Com
pany placed $1.O00,000 insurance
on his life. The amount was
divided among several insurance
companies, with all policies made
payable to the Stanley organiza-
tion.
The practice of insuring its
executives has been followed by
the Stanley Company for several
years. The late Jules E. Mast
baum. former president of STAN
ley, was insured for $1,000 900,
which was paid to the company
following his death last year.

CONFLICTS Staged Plays

Though the first regular theater
in Sydney, N. 3. W., was Levey's
Theater Royal, opened by Barnet
Levey, hotel keeper, back Of his
public house on october 3, 1888, some
performances were given in build
ing erected on Church hill, erected
nt a cost of $500 as early as 1903.
These earlier performances were
staged by convlcts who were warned
that any lmpropriety In the show
would cause them TO be banIshed to
the outlying settlements. That warn
Ing apparently was needed, but II was
discovered that the homes OF people
who went to the thenter were persist
emily robbed. probably by other Brit.
ish penal exlles IN league with the
players. so the theater was closed and
the building razed shortly thereafter.

Salem Highly Prizes
Ancient Indian Deed

The original Indian deed of Salem,
Mass, has been ordered placed in
specially built vault, and a photo
graphic copy now hangs where the
original used to be. The ravages Of
time have injured the face OF the
document and 1t now Is barely decl-
pherable with the aid of a reading
glass. In the turbulent period OF Eng
lish possession many disputes arose
over the ownership Of the land. The
crown contended that the Indians had
not possessed legal claim to the soil
which had been obtained from them
as the town site OF Salem, so to pro-
tect themselves against encroach-
ments, the citizens in 1888 had the
Indians sign this deed "ln considera-
tlon Of ye full and just sum Of 20
pounds" Today this same land has
an assessed valuation Of 100000, 900.
During the great fire OF 1914, when
more than third OF Salem was swept
AWAY, Mayor John r. Hurley hastened
from his home, which had been de-
stroyed with all his possessions. to
the city hall, where he sat In the
council chamber prepared to carry
this priceless relic to safety.-New

Minds of Orientdls
Impressed by Pomp

There Is reason for the elaborate
camps OF India and the reason Is
this: The maharajas, the raJas and
the nnwabs are luxury-loving. AL
ways they are hemmed about with
pomp and circumstance. Wherever
they go, they travel royalty. In the
old days, before the British govern
ment built railroads In India. high
caste travel was a matter OF gorgeous
pilgrimage. Even when bent on sport,
elaborate caravans numbered slowly
into the jungle and there was much
regal display. Simplicity Is not an

ROAD HOGS ARE
MENACE TO CITY
Cleveland Officials Censure
Careless Drivers end
Slow-Pokes.

Road hogs and slow-poke drivers
along with jay-walkers came in for
censure in report issued by the
traffic bureau of the Cleveland Auto
mobile club.
Road hogs are a menace to safety
and their activities should be cur
tailed, according to the report.
A road hog has been defined as a
driver who takes his half of the road
in the middle, thus causing congestion
on city streets and country highways,
which creates dangerous conditions
for all who use the roads.
No Legislation.
There is no legislation against the
road hog and the Cleveland AutOmo-
bile club does not feel that any Is
needed. However, the report sug-
gests that motorists In general, and
traffic police especially, do all in their
power to educate road hogs and in
struct them to drive near the right
hand curb at all times. It Is be-
lieved that II overtakng cars will
force road hogs to the side OF the
road with their horns, they will soon
learn that their road hogging prac-
tices are Objectionable to other mo
torists and will deslst.
Frequent reports of accidents are
received at automobile headquarters
showing cases where vehicles have
been crowded of the side Of the road
and overturned in ditch, due to the
selfishness Of some road hog In not
remaining on his proper side OF the
road. Unfortunately the road hog
who actually is responsible for the
accident is seldom harmed, although
he may have caused death and injury
to several others. Unfortunately, too,
the injured parties probably have no
legal redress against the person who
has caused the misfortune.
Menace to Traffic.
All too frequently, the report AYERS,
the road hog is In addition a slow
poke driver, and the combination of
these two examples Of faulty driving
leads to a serious menace to trafic
safety.
Traffic Commissioner Edward ].
Donahue has maintained that slow
poke driving IL much more serious
than speeding, as 1t causes congestion,
and congestion causes accidents. We
hicles going the same direction are
forced out of their lane Of traffie and
into the lane Of vehicles going In the
opposite direction. II the slow-poke
