The story is that of a young girl who is unjustly convicted and sent to prison for theft, who tries to live honestly when released, but is hounded by the police until shie loses her position and who then turns on them and matches her wits against their brutality, keep ing "within the law" and employing the intricacies and false standards and technicalities of the law to chield her from arrest. She develops, ingenuity, daring, and makes the man who sent her to prison pay for her four 3rears of drudgery for him and her three years in a felon's cell, almost breaking iiis heart through his son and heir. For "Within the Law" Selwyn aud Company have engaged an adequate cast pf individual and collective excel lence while the extensive scenic in vestiture required for the mounting of the play is on a scale of lavishness net usually attempted in the line of dramatic productions. New York, Dec. 12. Players from nine eastern universities and two western are selected by Walter Camp, famous football a-uthority for this sea son's "All-American" eleven. Camp's selection lor the first All American eleven as published in the present issue of Colliers Weekly -are: Ends, Hardwick, Harvard and b'Hearn, Cornell. Tackles, Ballin, Princeton and Trum bull, Harvard. . Guards, Pennock, Harvard and Chap man, Illinois. v Center, McEwan, West Point. Quarter, Ghee, Dartmouth.

"As far as the back field is concerned, there is material for easily a half dozen first class elevens, while when one takes the country over the forward line' is also well pro vided iot, although it contains fewer stars in number than the back field." FEED flUR 01 Lyman H. Howe's Travelogues. Swiftrr than travel by rail or any other means of locomotion, Lyman H. Howe's Travel Festival which comes to the Academy of Music soon, covers such immense" distances in a couple of hours that it would cost a fortune to traverse the same itinerary in per son: Because of the amazing realism and perfect photographic quality, as well as the diversified and exclusive subject matte r, his exhibition has cre ated a distinct position for itself that is not approached by any other. The most graphic writer could not impress readers like the stirring scer.es which Howe presents. The realism of each scene is intensified by the staff of ver satile imitators and impersonators be- . . - " - .' f itkA fee Mjjle ; - . y. VJ hind the screen who mimic verv oIpv. crly everything that flies in the air or walks on the earth. Then again these illusions are enhanced and ner- fected by the classic and semi-classic musical assomplishments which are as varied in theme as the scenes, each theme being precisely the most appro priate for every scene. The music- ranges trom a soothing lullaby one in siant to tne sonorous strains of a fa mous opera and includes every style or graduation from the oldtime melo dies to the very latest popular refrain. The new program has its intense moments such as are impaired by -a ride on a runaway train, which in it-i self is exciting enough, but the thrills are intensified and made more thrilling ! by means of those realistic "effects" from all others. Then also there are some spectacular moments experienc ed during a trip down into the crater of Vesuvius to the very edge of the vast cauldron of boiling lava. Some of the mysteries of Nature's handiwork are revealed in a series showing the growth of plants and the development of flowers from bud to blossom. The manifestations of sci ence and chemistry are also shown in a film depicting the electrolysis of met. als and the fantastic formations cre ated by the process. Re al travel experi-j ences are provided Dy a trip to ever enchanting Venice during which Howe travelers will glide up and down the canals and see the quaint city under the wizardry of superb color effects at sunset and by moonlight. A railroad ride through Greece, bird studies in the colors of nature, and entirely new animated cartoons are me of the oth er features. (S in MRS. SL1KGERL BANf SALE G. S.

With his contribution he sent the ioiiow ing note: v "I fear the calls for help at . home and abroad are to be so numerous and all-compelling that many of us must curtail our pleasures at the be hest of duty and larger charity work spells love." - : . "Zudora," the best serial . the Amuse U has ever shown, starts Thursday, 10c: " New York, Dec. 12. "Quick action must be taken by every American to stop this flood of food and money to Europe. Despite our prosperity, condi tions have been brought about by the war which have driven the unemploy ed in the cities to desperation. We must feed our own poor before we aid foreign victims of the war." Mrs. Nellie V. Van Slingerland, founder of the Black -Cross Society made the above sttement tonight m outlining plans of the Black Cross to head off the vast shipments of Amer ican wealth to Belgium and other countries in the war zone. "America has recovered in a bus iness way from the, first effects of war," said Mrs. Van Slingerland, "but the men thrown out of work during these past, months cannot all be re turned to work immediately Unless something is done to relieve them, we will face a condition more desper ate than any in past years. ntnr;t., AT-o-Q-nintionR have been hampered and their work stopped by flood of our bounty and wealth to Europe. We must hold our food and clothing here-to care for those who produce- it.

The cold of January will bring the women who are now sending their clothes to Belgium, to their senses and make them realize that charity begins at home." The organization of the Black Cross Society will be perfected at a meeting at the Astor Hotel December 16 Scores of prominent New ork people have joined the .movement. Many who were most active in gath ering funds for the Belgians have now turned their efforts to supplying the needs of America. The movement started when Ger many taxed Belgium $7,000,00 on the same day that American ships unload ed in that country several million dol lars worth of food and" clothing. The society holds that by feeding- the Belgians, America is supplying the German soldiers with ammunition. Red Hair Found on Brush Sufficient to Start Ohio Divorce Suit Cleveland, O., Dec. 12. Mrs. Caro lyn Kurtz Battle Y Alvarez, aged 28, told Judge Gott in her application for divorce here late today that the dis covery of several long red hairs in her brushes on her return to her apartment in New York in 1912 was enough.

Mrs. Alvarez is the adopted daugh ter of S. S. Kntz, wealthy Canton, O., manufacturer . and president of a cash register company. .

Open i trading on the stock exchange was re sumed for the first time sincie July 30, when 'it was shut off because of the war. Trading was not entirely free, a minimum price having been fixed for all issues, but that did not check the market's activity. With the floor fairly jammed with traders, business for the two hours the exchange was open from 10 until 12 was above what would have been considered normal before the war broke out.' . The spectators' galleries were crowded for fully . fifteen minutes before- the market opened. The traders were on hand early, too, the exchange floor being jammed with the biggest crowd , in its history. To the specta tors the scene on the floor before the opening looked like a reunion. Brokers, who hadn't seen each other. since the market closed, were walking around shaking hands and congratulating each other on- being back again. . . All prices were well above the mark of the closing day in July. Prices to day were up from one to three points at the close over the opening figures; Brokers -expressed themselves as well pleased with the prospect following the close of the market. The strength shown, they said, augured well for the future. It was predicted that trading will soon be normal iri all channels. A sound of battle is in the land, and of. great destruction.
