"Ah, Wildernessv' Coming
To FOrd's Next Week

"Ah, Wilderness!" Eugene O'NeilPs
comedy hit, in which George M. Cohan
and brilliant cast have been appear
ing for the last year in New York
will be brought to Ford's Theatre
Baltimore, for the week beginning
Monday, November 9Th, with matt.
nees on Wednesday and Saturday.
"Ah, Wilderness!" opening year
ago at the Guild Theatre in New
York, startled the critics as they are
seldom startled. First, O'Neill was re-
vealed as the author of a comedy for
the first time; secondly, Conan was
working for somebody else.
The story of "Ah, Wilderness!" is
Geographic; it is Eugene O'Neill's
early life, back in those merry days
of 1905 when an affair with painted
woman was enough to make a boys
father think the world had come to an
end. Mr.. Cook, as the boy, and Mr..
Cohan as the father, have moments in
this play that are both honest and
dramatic.
Acclaimed by the New York and
Boston critics as giving Mr.. Cohan
the opportunity for the finest perfor-
nance of his remarkable career, "Ah,
Wilderness" comes to Baltimore as
the fourth step on tour extending to
the far West.

Marriage in Japan

There is no religious element in the
Japanese wedding ceremony except the
reference to ancestor-worship in the
girls name being expunged from her
family line and then placed under the
protection of the ancestors of her hus-
band. The state has nothing to do with
marriages except to require a police
registration similar to that required
for a birth or death. This certificate
costs fifteen cents. All that is re-
Quired to end an unsatisfactory mar
riage Is the consent Of the families In

Hedgehog and Porcupine
Are Entirely Different

A common error is to confuse the
hedgehog and the porcupine. The
hedgehog is by no means the same, al
though there are similar characters
tics. The hedgehog is a small animal.
the largest being about the size of a
large rat. They do have spines mixed
in with the fur on their back and those
so protected by nature, roll up in balls
when attacked after the manner of q
porcupine. They feed largely on in,
sects, mice and eggs. About 10 vari
cites are known to exist in Great Brit
ain, Europe and Asia.
The porcupine of the North Amer
lean continent is far larger animal,
weighing as much as 80 and 40 pounds
Their quilts or spines cover the head
and back and the tail as well.
The pOrcupine is largely a vege
tartan, feeding on bark and certain
leaves. AS food it is considered highly
appetizing and in most sections it is
considered a boon to hunters. It af
fords food reserve for those unfor
tunate enough to be lost without am
munition. The porcupine seldom hur.
ries and when approached by an en-,
envy rolls up with sense of security.
It is easily killed with club and for
that reason hunters are inclined to let
the porcupine live excepting in cases
of emergency.--Washington Star.

 The brief, believed to be the only printed one prepared for the hearing, was prepared by the ex- ecutive committee of the federation headed by Edmond B, Butler of Fordh;. m, president of the organ ization, and presented to the judi ciary comimttee by Joseph M.' Murphy, of the Catholic Univer- sity of America, Washington, D.

 ization of Newman Clubs for Cath olics attending non-Catholic col leges, whose membership repre- sents 70,000. He also. stated that

 ''I do love you, Tom," she cried desperately, five loved you from the first Y and in her agita- ton she forget and let that clear young voice of hers ring out shriliy, like the tinkle of a copper bell. She stopped, frightened by her own voice, but as Toms arms grew only tighter about her, she re- faxed, blissfully.
 "And why not?" Ellin argued it out with herself, smiling as con- tentedly as a cat with a recent meal of birds. why, if love can be blind, as it is proverpially claimed to be. why, for gosh sake shouldn't it be deaf, for it's own good occasionally ?"
 And content with that deduction she hurried home, to tell Fred, her faithful teammate of many years, all about the happy ending.

 'Want anything ?" she asked in her deep, throaty voice, which never failed to thrill Tom, since she came to nurse him six months ago.
 "No :" hesitantly, "just won dered where you are :. z" He was no longer tense, but relaxed costly in the warm radiance of her presence.
 "I had a gorgeous. time in the garden" she told him, gayly. ''The gladiolas are blooming it's a riot of colors; shipped an armful of beauties for you ." Tom tried to visualize the scene: 1t was three years ago, that he saw the bloom of his lovely gardens for the last time. He may see 1t soon, now, or else he may not see it ever again.
 No one could guess, how much seeing his gardens would mean to Tom; the spacious. forty-room mansion he inherited from his grandfather, the beloved old 'Em- pire Builder of three score and more years ago.
 But the gardens he had laid out himself, guided by his innate taste fnv ornyfaivor 0n1nvs coI, He had missed pottering round his gardens more than anything dur ing the long period of enforced ill., ness. And a great relief this was to the expert gardeners, who did not always relish having their young master underfoot.
 Today, however, the gardens held little lure for Tom: his thoughts reverted quickly to the one idea, which haunted him of late.
 "I thought it was past .. l was afraid you had left :" "I WOULDN'T GO WITHOUT A WORD"
 "I wouldn't go without word don't you know that?"
 Of course she wouldn't. Tom told himself. She must know how much he needed her, her sympathy. her encouragement, today of all days Impulsively he captured one of her busy hands. He bent his head and pressed hot cheek against her cool skin.
 "I just couldn't have borne it love you SD much
 You what?" Ellin fairly Jumped from sheer surprise.
 If he could bite off his tongue, Tom would have gladly done so. "I am sorry . ~. Miss Hayes :" he mumbled contritely. q didn't mean to say that honestly, l didn't.
 1T know it is beastly unfair to you, as the operation may prove a failure after all. Somehow I just lost control it slipped out before could stop myself. Forgive me ." he added, lame- ly.
 Ellin was too breathless to an- swer at once. She was utterly ov- ercome by mingled and somewhat muddled emotions. It was fusion or rather confusion of tenderness, compassion and sort of mute dis may. He was such a nice thing, young, attractive, high-spirited. wonderfully bred and miraculously, he loved her.
 Oh, but that was all nonsense, she told herself, sternly, her we'll trained sense of duty pulling at her. It would pass away just as soon as he regained vision and with it normal existence. Loneli-
