ACE."
BY JACK JI‘NGMEI‘ER
HOLLYWOOD. June 5.-——As a clar-
ion in the fight against dope—its
avowed purpose—"The Greatest Men-
ace." a film sponsored by the Amer-
ican Narcotic Crusade, emits but a
weak blast.
Only a. photoplay of poignant.
smashing appeal could be effective
against that plague which it is said
already to have tainted one in 50
Americans.
"The Greatest Menace.” promoted
by Angela Kaufman. noted philan-
thropist, fails to convey the magni-
tude of drug addiction or its immin-
ence to family life in the upper world.
As drama. the picture has certain
merit. but as propaganda it is hardly
calculated to reach the thoughtful
who bolster crusades.
Chlenly. I should say. its failure
lies in dressing the skeleton in the
old underworld scarcrow \‘cstments.
So long as victims of the poppy and
the cocoa leaf are represented mainly!
as criminal oi'fscourings and an oc-
casional recruit from slummcrs. so
long will concern for their woes be
extremely limited.
0 O O
The story traces the degeneration
of a district attorney's son while ex-
ploring the murk for literary material.
He is snared into addiction in." the
female decoy of a dope ring which
hopes thus to forfend prosecution by
his father. Eventually he is reclaimed
by his sister. an attorney.
True. here is a “respectable" vic-
tim. but one can't be deeply stirred by
the plight of a young husband who
gailivante with sirens and thugs while
his wife is in the travail of mother-
hood.

DEAR SYD:
What was that somewhat melo-
dramaticKpouplet that runs somewhat
like this—
"The sins ye do two by two
Ye pay for one by one."
I am not good at quoting poetry,
Syd. but as an opening to this letter
those words will do very well.
To come to the point. do? before
yesterday a special messenger brought
me a note to the omce from Paula. In
it she told me that she was in great
trouble and must see me at once.
She asked me to come and see her
that evening. Of course that was out
of the question. but her letter was so
ambiguous. itdlold so much and yet so
little. that I am frightened out of my
wits.

But she led me on, Syd. she led me on.
Every time I would try to so her one
better. when she said something sweet.
I grew quite proud of my d——n literary
attainments. I've had my lesson. Syd.
and if I get out of this. I'll never write
another letter again to anyone. not
even my wife.
Of course I felt like a yellow dog
with a. stumpytail and a lop ear when
I went home that night and altered to
send Leslie to New York. Therpoor
child said she was afraid to ask me
for the little money needed because
she thought that I could not afford gt.

DEUCATE FABRICS.
Soak delicate fabrics in bars: water
and they will come out. clean without
injury to the cloth or color.
‘ woou-zs MATERIAL
Woolen articles that have shrunk.
can be impmved by being washed in
soapsuds and rinsed in cleansoapeuds
instead of water. Repeated washing in
this way restores them to their origi-
nal else and fiui'i’iness.
VAKNISHSOLES
If the soles of new shoes are var-
nished every five or- six rweeks with
copal varnish they will wear much
longer. The varnish will also render
them waterproof. _
