LEES RESOLUTION
July 2

I'M July 2, 1776, the Continental
" congress adopted the resolu-
ton of Richard Henry Lee of Vir-
GINA declaring the United States
free and independent.
Lee introduced his measure on
June 2, 1776, and supported it by a
speech of the most brilliant elo-
quence. He moved, in part, that
these united colonies are and Of
right ought to be free and indie
pendent states, that they are alb
solved from all allegiance to the
British crown, and that all political
connection between. thera and the
state of Great Britain is and ought
to be totally dissolved"
This resolution, which, OF course,
was the Declaration of Tndepend-
ence, was not only passed July 2,
but also signed on that day. The
custom of celebrating the Fourth OF
July in comnemoration OF this oc-
casion, therefore is historically in
correct.
John Adams prophesied wrongly
when he wrote his wife, "The sec
ond day of July, 1776, viii be the
most memorable epoch in the his
tory of America. I am apt to believe
it viii be celebrated by succeeding
generations as the great anniver-
sary festival"
Another fact not generally
known in connection with the sign
ing of the Declaration is that John
Hancock and Charles Thomson,
president and secretary respectively
of the Continental congress, we're
the only men to sign the real Dec
laration.
Other signers affixed their sigma
lures to a copy Of the original doc

Triplets Occur Once in 1000 Births

from 1.59 per cent in Denmark to
40 in Colombia, and the triplets
from Obs IN Denmark to .004 in
Greece. In these records of over
120,000,O00 cases, twins occurred
once in 85.2 cases; tripletS once in
1921, and quadruplets once in
670,7 cases.
Those countries having the larg-
est percentage of twins also had the
largest percentage of triplets.
There are numerous theories as
to the reason for multiple births,
most of them having to do with the
conception that this tendency is in
herited.

WURzDACH MUST
FACE INDICTMENT.
Corrupt Practices Act Held
to Cover Charge Against
Texan.

Members Of Congress accepting money
from officeholders in their primary
campaigns are liable to prosecution
under the corrupt practices act, the
Supreme Court declared yesterday.
The question reached the highest
tribunal in an appeal by the Govern
ment after 1t had failed in the western
district of Texas in proceedings against
Representative Wurzbach, Republican,
of that State. He had been indicted
for accepting contributions from office
holders in his primary campaign Tor
denomination. Representative Wurz-
bach recently was awarded a seat in
the House as a result of a contest with
his Democratic opponent, Augustus Nc
Closkey.
The effect Of the decision today
will be to force the Texas Representa-
tive to go to trial on the indictment,
which had been dismissed by the Fed
eral District Court.
The opinion was written by Justice
Holmes and no dissent was announced.
I stated that Congress may provide
that its officers and employees neither
shall exercise nor be subjected to
pressure for money for political pur-
poses, upon or by others OF their kind,
while they retain their Office or en-
ployment. Neither the ConSti-
tuition nor the nature of the abuse to
be checked requires us to conf1ne the
all-embracing words of the act to po-
litical purposes within the control of
the United States"
Following this line of reasoning, the
court held that, while Congress did
not have Jurisdiction over primaries, it
did have authority to prohibit its men,
bers from accepting contributions for
"any political purposes whatever" and
thus reach contributions of all kinds.

| Poi nc The na~$ ssRusible expla-
nation of Miss Ethel Barry
ne Love mores choice of 1.-THE Love
Duel'' at Polls this week as
her latest vehicle has been
noted with SUFFICIENT emphasis in the
advance notices of the play. These
have laid significant stress on the fact
that this sophisticated study of sophis-
tication is the exact opposite of THE
Kingdom of God" in which Miss
Barrymore was last seen in Washing
ton--thus implying that it affords an in
teresting study in contrast, at least, and
nice test of Miss Barrymore's versatile
repertory. This being granted one seeks
in vain for other explanations. The play
is constructed of the f1imsieSt sort of
material and the ability of the star and
the supporting cast to hold it together
through the first two acts until it can
stand on its merits in the third is all
the more praiseworthy; subtle tribute
to their skill.
The play is based on the conception
OF two persons, man and a woman, as
champions in the game of love. Both
"He"-LouiS Calhern-and "She"-Miss
Barrymore-have travelled far and wide
ana each has left a trail of broken
hearts behind. These broken hearts are
as so many scalps on their belts, or
notches in their guns, each denoting
some past triumph or conquest. Finally
the two champions meet, and, like all
champions, must cross swords to deter
mine the final winner. They enter upon
their duel with an agreed and avowed
purpose in mind, based on an accepted
thesis that he will be the victor who
can bring pain and suffering to the
other. WrapDed up in an arrnor of
pretense and sham, both trip on their
own swords, both lose but each wins
through the interceSSion of a third
party whose identity is concealed in this
review except for the hint that he has
been interceding in such situations. for
better or for worse, since the world
began
While the major part of Miss Barry
more'S role calls merely for apt portrayal
OF pale and wan boredom and the list
less manipulation of fan, there are
occasions when she must rise to the full
heights Of her fine art in expression of
deep and poignant emotion that tram
sends such superficial poses as sophis-
tication. This she does, as always, with
marvellous restraint that is, of course.
most effective. Louis Calhern is well
cast in the part of the rather cold

thought he knew all about women until

pleasing.
Except for good third act, which
makes up for many of the faults of its
predecessors, the play is rather dull: a
fact that may be explained by the sub
