Screen and Stage
Strand, Smyrna

Friday-Replete with swift action,
thrills, and a double love interest,
Flashing Fangs." The picture is the
first starring vehicle for Ranger, the
new police dog find. The story is built
around the salvation of a man who
wants to live up to the high ideals set
for him by the dog. This is not done
though, before the two encounter
many perils and dangers. A double
romance is woven in the dramatic
theme when the man falls in love with
the daughter Of his neighbor, and
Ranger, not to be outdone, pays court
to jeanette who guards a nearby
ranch.
Saturday-Fred Thomson and his
marvellous horse "Silver King" in "A
Western Romance" crammed with ace
high action Lloyd Hamilton in"Here
Comes Charlie" Fables.
Tuesday Edward Everett Hales'
classic, "The Man Without a Country
A historical drama that is really
worth breaking appointments to see.
Lieutenant Norton in exile, the sea
battle, the Liberation of the slaves by
Lincoln, etc.
Monday-Conrad Nagel, erstwhile
romantic hero of the screen, romps
through hilamously comic trials and
tribulations in "There You Are, lat
est development of his new trend to-
ward whimsical comedy, and one Of
the funniest screen plays Of the year.
Nagel plays the hero of an elopment
beset by such difficulties as pursuing
father, backed up by the New York
police force, is saddled with a strange
baby that he can't explain to his
bride, and many other difficulties, all
of which make laughter.

STATION FOR ENFORCEMENT
Wet Leader Says Enforcement of Law
is Justified if it is Respected

Wet Leader Says Enforcement of Law
is Justified if it is Respected
Captain William H. Stayton, form
erly Of Smyrna, Delaware, now ma
tional chairman of the Association
Against Prohibition, last week made
public a letter addressed by the asso-
ciation to the Committee of One
Thousand" in session at Washington,
D. O., urging the better enforcement
Of all laws.
"You have met with the declared
intention of anaugurating campaign
looking to the better enforcement Of
all laws-with special reference to
the prohibition laws, it is true, but
nevertheless Of all laws, according to
your announcement of the object Of
your conference.
"The platform of the Republican
party for 1924 declares, that we must
have respect for law, asserting that
the very existence of our governmnt
depends upon this.
"With this specific commitment of
the party now in power, there should
be no question of an honest response
to any resolution which your commit
tee may see fit to pass as a result Of
it's declaration" Captain Stayton
wrote.
What Makes Respect for Law
ain connection with the platform
declaration referred to, it may be per-
missible to urge that your committee
take the ground that respect for law
is justified only when enforcement by
violence is unnecessary. The thought
behind this urging is that there can
not be respect for law, unless, first,
the law is respectable, and, second,
those who have made the law are en-
titled to the respect of the constitu-
ents.
On the latter point, it may be
pointed out that the Congress as a
body is violating its oath and violat-
ing the Constitution of the United
State, even Haunting its violation in
this respect, in failing to provide for
a reappointment of its membership on
the basis Of the census of 1920, as
clearly directed by the Constitution.
There has been no reappointment
since 1910.
with this declaration Of faith con-
joined with that of your committee,
may this association ask that your
committee show its questionable hon
esty Of purpose as regarding its at
titude toward the enforcement of all
laws, by passing resolution at this
conference, requesting the Congress to
do its sworn duty in the matter of re-
apportionment, thereby taking a most
important step toward encouraging
the people to better respect Congress
and better respect the laws it makes"

A hush seemed to have fallen upon
the ship. vet it was not a peaceful
stiffness, rather the calm before the
storm. the air charged with impending
disaster. Chris stepped out of his
room. his footsteps again leading him
backward.
Great waves OF heat met him as he

1t was like stepping into furnace.
but Chris persisted. walking to the
stairway leading to the first deck,
then up another flight onto the boat

Winston a few hours before.
The boat deck was likewise de-

most scorched him Chris held his po-
sition. motionless, listening.
"Just because YOU were at one time
engaged to him does not alter the
fact that he is placed in a grave po-
sition at this time" a mans voice was
saving. You'll admit that?'

go under but he must hear her reply,
II know Victor, but l can't believe
that of him. What reason would he
have for such a hideouS crime?"
Chris gasped. swaying, but steadied
himself az Straine's voice responded.

Straine, He had been at the bottom
of all trouble between them from the
beginning Now he was convincing

murderer. oh, well, that would be
easy to straighten out.
Christopher lay still upon the
couch. his eyes closed, resting, and at
peace for the first time in more than
Il hours. AS soon as his energy re-
turned he'd go in search of Anne and
Straine. He was planning what to say
when the sound he hated, that idle,
braying laugh of Winston's broke
upon his reverie.

repeated over and over, and then as
