Adapted under the supervision of
Daryl F. Zanuck from the novel
read by millions, this film is des-
tined to start a new motion picture
cycle and is itself one OF the most
dramatic pictures Of the day. It
boasts theme intense in emo
tional appeal and deals daringly
with modern questions in a modern
way.
Despite the depth of its theme
and the intensity of its drama. the
story is interpolated with sparkling
comedy.

Chi|dren's S Hospital
Board Reflects
All Officers
Superintendent Reports
On Christmas Activity
For Patients

All officers were unanimously re-
elected for the ensuing year at the
annual meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Childrens Hospital
held at that institution Friday after
noon. Charles D. Drayton again
heads the board as president,
Thomas Bell Sweeney was reelected
first vice president, Robert B. Swope
second vice president, and DR.. John
Allan Talbot, secretary. The Ma
tional Metropolitan Bank acts as
treasurer of the hospital.
Outstanding feature of the meet
ing was the report submitted by
Miss Matte M. Gibson, superin-
tendent, who devoted considerable
portion thereof to recent success
full holiday activities on behalf of
both dispensary and ward patients.
Miss Gibson pointed out that Christ
mas is always an occasion hearten-
ing to both personnel and patients
and that certain traditions in con-
nectlon Herewith are dear to the
hearts Of all interested in this old
and popular institution Certain
friends, some of whom live far away
make 1t an annual custom to send
checks or tangible gifts whereby
: sick and crippled youngsters hearts
may be made merry For example,
two ladies, one aged 80 and the
other IS, invariably send in hand
made scrapbooks, while gifts of
candy and of special toys, together
with handsome tree donated and
decorated by the Chesapeake & Po-
tomac Telephone Co. are annual
events.
Five churches, ten schools, twenty
clubs and five Government units,
Miss Gibson pointed out, this past
year sent toys, so that it was pos
slole to remember with some sort
OF gift every patient served by the
hospital. AS is the usual story with
institutions of this sort, the number
OF patients, of days of care and of
dlspensary visits went up in De-
cember, as compared with the same
month IN 1887, but deaths happily
decreased.

The question of who are the real
benefciaries of their benefit dances
has split retired firemen in the
District into two groups.
Members of one group insist high
pressure promoters get lions share
of the proceeds, and therefore they
refuse to sponsor any more enter
tainments, while those In the other
group argue the promoters take all
risks, underwrite expenses and are
entitled to a profit, even q rather
handsome one II earned.
While controversy RACES between
the Retired Firemen's Association
and the newly-formed Disabled
Firemen's Association, the active
firemen in the District, who are
prohibited from soliciting any favors
from the public, are standing on
the sidelines. They can neither give
nor receive special benefits.
Charles C. Sellers, secretary Of
the Retired Firemen's Association,
yesterday explained his group has
nothing to do with a dance being
arranged in April by the Disabled
Firemen's Association, formed early
this month after the question of
benefits split the retired firemen.
Organized in 1894.
Mr. Sellers said the Retired Fire
mems Association was organized in
1894 at suggestion Of former Deputy
Chief P. w. Nicholson to promote
the welfare of former firemen Re-
Gently, he explained, three officers
resigned from this association be-
cause of opposition to plans for
public benefits and formed the dis
abled flremen's group.
In 1885, Mr.. Sellers said, one Of
these officers suggested the associa-
ton sign contract with promoter
for a benefit dance, and that the
association received $100, although
$4,000 was a conservative estimate
of the proceeds of the dance"
In 1887, he said, the three officers,
since resigned, contracted with the
same promoter for $500 for q dance
which brought in, he estimated,
some $4,000
Last spring, Mr.. Sellers continued,
the same promoter obtained q con-
tract for 5000 for benefit moonlight
cruise which resulted In q great
turnout" of patrons.
Says Protests Overruled.
Mr.. Sellers declared these promo
tions were put through "over the
protests of members" who said they
did mot approve OF abusing the
confidence that the public had in
flremen"
Mr.. Sellers said that as a result
of this opposition on the part Of
members Of the Retired Firemen's
Association, the new association was
formed and now is promoting a
dance for April 10.
He pointed out his reorganization"
is in no way connected with any
other group of retired firemen and
is not receiving any portion of the
proceeds of this dance.
The Retired Firemen's Associa-
tion," he said, is at present engaged
only IN an effort to get legislation
through for the disqualification of
retired flremen," and calls attention
to the resolution adopted at the jan
uary 5 meeting as follows:

tired Firemen's Association, yester-
day denied emphatically that the

vious benefits were too low.

flremen in open meeting.
I'VE old-timers knew what the
promoter was up against" Mr.. Wer-
mig said. Some of the younger
members voted to take a contracted
price and then squawked when the
promoter made the benefit a big
success. Yet on each occasion the
promoter gave us a higher price
Sometimes he only made expenses

taken in are absurd In the extreme.
"The promoter will pay us $7OO for

A few annually observe the ami

Sargent, world-famed artist, born
January IL, 1856. Born in Italy, liv-
ing most of his life and dying in
Europe, he was of an old Boston
family and q citizen of the United
States. Modest to an extreme de-
gree, his usual form of speech was,
"You know-there's a certain sort
of-er-er-in fact a-er-er-" and
so on and so on. He had not the
gift of tongue, but that mattered lit
tie; he was so well able to express
himself otherwise.

The Grain Elevator

An elevator that complies with
requirements of a recognized grain
exchange is known as a regular"
or public" elevator and the ware
house receipts it issues against
grain in storage are deliverable
against futures contracts on the ex-
changes. Qualified elevators are so
called to differentiate them from
privately owned elevators whose
warehouse receipts are not good
for delivery on exchange contracts.
