BALTIMORE. February 25- The
Baptist Ministers Conference of Balti-
more and vicinity this week expressed
It's willingness, by unanimous vote,
to indorse legislation empowering civil
officials to perform the marriage cere-
mony in Maryland.
The vote was taken in response to a
question as to its attitude put by DR..
Kingman A. Handy. who spoke on
Present Day Indition of the Separa-
ton Of the Church and State"
The speaker argued for as complete
a separation OF the church and state
as possible. and declared that that was
the view OF the Baptist denomination.
He cited his belief that even religious
workers. such as chaplains. in State
and Federal institutions should be
paid by their denominations rather
than by the Government.
DE- Handy also declared his oppo-
sition to legislation requiring the Bible
to be read in the public schools.

ICELAND MAY END
UNION WITH DENMARK
Personal Bond, Through Single
King, May Be Ended
by Island.

~ the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, February
2s.-Al parties in the Iceland Parlia-
ment have agreed to the desirahility Of
cancelling the present treaty Of personal
union with Denmark thereby obtaining
complete independence.
The movement for cancellation of the
treaty, which is not revokable until
1870. is partly due to Iceland's wish to
have her representation abroad in her
own hands.
Iceland is united with Denmark by a
personal bond of union under the gov
eminent Of King Christian X AS far
back as 1881. Iceland, together with
Norway. came under the rule of the
Danish kings. but when Norway was
separated from Denmark, in 1914, Ice
land remained under the rule Of Den-
mark Since December /, 1918, it has
been acknowledged as a sovereign state
and is united with Denmark only
through the identity Of the sovereign.

Legion Baseball

The Oscar w. Swanson Post. Ameri can Legion has decided to take charge of the baseball team of this town. Pre- vious to their decision, the Over the Top owners had agreed to finance the team. At present, it is undecided as to who will manage the team but that matter will be settled in few days and arrangements will be made to play teams of good standing from out of town. It always has been the custom of supplying the people of this town with good games and it is the plans of the Legion to continue that policy.
 The schedule will be arranged as soon as the grounds are finished. At present, work is going along at a fine rate of speed. The grounds are being leveled and the stands are at the last stages of completion. The erection of the club house is the only item that is lacking but if the work continues to go as rapidly as it has, it will be only a matter of a few weeks before the grounds will be ready for the start of the season.

STRIKES NEW NOTE
Chicago" Film Entertainment of
 Fine Quality

r@~
 Striking a new note in screen en- tertainment, Chicago" a De Mile Studio production based on the sue cessful stage play of the same name, which will be presented at the Brad ley Theatre Friday and Saturday, strikes a new note in picture produc- ton.
 In the past this type of drama has been almost wholly confined to the stage. producers believing the sue cess of a satirieal play to be purely local, with the subject of sarcasm we'll known to certain group of theatre goers. But when Chicago" was produced as a play the nation wide scope of the drama was self evident, as it ridicules the dramatic ing of murder trials and, conse- quently, applies to all communities alike.
 Roxie Hart, the beautiful "jazz slayer" of the stage play, is ably in terpreted by Phyllis Haver in the screen version of Chicago" while the husband is capitally portrayed by Victor Varceni The criminal lawyer by Robert Edeson, and other prominent roles are eapably. DOT trayed by May Robson, Virginia Bradford and T. Roy Barnes. The direction by Frank Urson was ex- ceptionally good. Through the su- pervision of Cecil B. De Mile, the screen version of Chicago" includes an emotional strength absent in the more superficial stage presentation. The picture is worth while.

The at traction comes here highly recom- mended and the regulars who attend the Thursday vaudeville are assured that the omission of the acts for this one week will be more than justified because of the merit of unit No. 2, on Friday and Saturday. In addition to this stage show the silversereen will display the picture that has been creating an unusual amount of com ment, namely Chicago" which fea- lures Phyllis Hayer and a strong cast.

 The Woburn High School boasts of a band, orchestra, and a chorus of 100 voices. The operetta was pre- sented in manner that showed care ful and thorough training. Much of the credit for the splendid manner in which the operetta was given, is due to Miss Burns. All that attended en- joyed the production and much favor able comment was heard.
 Among those attending from this vicinity were Miss Helen McAulif- fe., Miss Helen Mack, Miss Lois Strait, Miss Vivian Lucier, Miss Isa- bella Beauregard, Miss Gilman. Miss Fabienne Coderre, Miss Dorothy Roy, Raymond Potter, George St. Marie, Pete Murphy, and Harold Thiereau.
