At the Grand February 8 Perry J.
Ivelly will present Leila Mclntyre and
.John Hyama. two of the most popu
lar comedy stars on the American
stape. in a return enlargement of the
new comedy with music entitled "My
Home Town Girl." The music was
written by Louis A. Hirsch, who com
posed the sonf? hits in 1 lorenz Ziegr
feld's "Follies."
The book and lyrics
are by Frank Stammers,
The play has an everlasting appeal
by the spirit of youth and abundance
of prettv trirls who can sing and dance.
Mr. Ivelly has spared no
expense l
for either costumes or scenery and :
the entire production and company
is one of the most delightful theatri-
cal organizations now on tour. Be
sides Mr. Hyams and Miss Mclntyre,
the cast Includes Kda von Luke, Alma
"Ytuilin. Maude Beatty, Doris Vernon.
Dorothy Heich, Charles Home and
Charles Holly.
"When Jerome read 'Passing of the
Third Floor Back to my wife and my
self," sys Forbes-Hobortson, "we de
cided that it must be produced. We
dirt not think that it would be a suc
cess, but even if it ran for only five
or six weeks, we felt that the ideal,
the optimism of the play should be
given to the public. The play ran for
seven months in London and later
achieved a truly remarkable success
in America. It is a play without any
particular "situations, moving scene?)
or marked climaxes as these are gtfi
erally understood, but nevertheless it
seem to have seized the fancy of an
enormous public. Both in England
and in America I have received visits
from leading ministers of all denomi
nations, from priests and rabbies and
leaders of "-ethical societies, all of
whom seemed impressed with the mes
sage of hope conveyed :n the play.
Howe's Travel Festival will play a
return engagement at the Grand the
ater February 18-1 9. An entire new
program will be presented. Trips to
the Swiss Alps, Madeira. France. Hol
land and Italy will be shown. "Abroad
at Home" will show scenes in the
Glacier National Park and through a
great American industry representa
tive of our era in product, magni
tude, organization and inventive skill
the Willys-Overland automobile
plant, in Toledo, O. Also there will be
some revelations of nature's secrets
such as curiosities of crystallization,
some acrobatic "stunts" by little
known insects and the movements of
fleet footed animals reproduced so
slowly that they look weird and un
canny.
Slight Change In Policy.

ADOPTING WAR BABIES
Wellcsley College Girls Give Aid to
Fatherless French Infants.
Boston, Jan. 29. Adopting French
war babies is now the fad among
Wellesley college girls. During the last
few weeks the students have adopted
24 little ones whose fathers have been
killed in the war. This is the result of
a' campaign under the direction of
Miss Emily Allyn of Philadelphia, &
junior.
The French government allows 10
cents a day for the babies, sufficient
only to maintain them in an institu
tion. The Wellesley girls are to pro
vide ' r each child so that it can re-ir.-iin
in tho care of its mother.
WITH DICTAGRAPH
German Agents Tried to Spy on
British Attache in U. S.
Instrument Found in Ventila
tor of Hotel Room.
New York, Jan. 29. The discovery
of a dictagraph in the Hotel Bilt
more rooms of Captain Guy Gaunt,
naval attache of the British embassy,
has prevented German agents becom
ing cognizant of important British
government secrets.
Captain Gaunt's friends say he out
witted men who hoped to catch him
off his guard. The etory of the dicta
graph forms a remarkable behind the
scenes narrative of never ceasing
duels between the highly organized
secret services maintained in this
country by the central powers and
the allies.
The Teuton agents after months of
planning, succeeded in planting the
dictagraph in the room often used by
Captain Gaunt for conferences. The
plotters took rooms situated on all
sides of Captain Gaunt's apartments,
below and above.
Fscd the Ventilator.
"The German agents watched
Gaunt for two weeks and observed
his daily movements," said the in
formant. "They made minute exam
inations of the formations of the walls,
the location of carpets, ventilating sys
tems, etc.
"They finally hit upon the ventilat
or as the place where a dictagraph
could be placed. With the aid of an
expert mechanician, the conspirators
entered Gaunt's apartment. They
'trailed the dictagraph from the cap
tain's room to an adjoining one.
"The scheme perhaps would have
worked perfectly except that Captain
Gaunt since he took up his residence
in New York had anticipated the very
method of attack. Accordingly, he
had arranged with the hotel manage
ment to make a thorough search of
nis quarters at intervals of at least
twice a week. Because of this, the
dictatrraoh was discovered almost at I
once.
No Arrests Made.
"No attempt was made to arrest
the men responsible for the plot.
First, because the rival secret serv
ices do not play the game that way,
and. second, because it was thought
best to place a constant watch upon
the conspirators.
"This was done and very interest
ing discoveries were made. For in
stance. Captain Gaunt clinched the
identity of two men who have suc
ceeded Franz von Rintelen and Cap
tain Boy-Ed and Voii Papen as di
rectors of the Germaii isecret service."
"I suspected a window cleaning
chap at my hotel one day," said Cap
tain Gaunt today. "He did not seem
to know his trade very well
He was
an unusually inquisitive fellow. He
does not clean my windows any more."
The men alleged to be at the head
of the German secret agent work now
are German army officers formerly
associated with Dr. Dernburg and a
German who once occupied a high
diplomatic post in Lacin-America.
AUTOMATIC CHANGE
Elevated Line Pats Machines on Job
for Cashiers.
Chicago. Jan. 29. The "drop a
nickel" slot machine was given its
first rryout at the Fifth avenue ter
minal of the Metropolitan elevated
here tonight. In little more than one
hour 14,000 persons paid fare through
the machine and were loaded into
trains.
Two persons operated the slot ma
chine. The Metropolitan company
usually employs four cashiers at this
terminal. With lightning rapidity the
machine shoots the change for any
denomination from a 10-cent piece to
a dollar into a receptacle from which
it may easily be picked with a gloved
nana.
The passenger then drops his nickel
into a second slot machine and passes
to his train. A cashier rings up the
coin presented and tie change wanted
and the change register doea the rest.
An attendant standi by the receiving
slot machine to guard against slugs.
Officials declare the machine is a
great improvement over the " old
methods.

Birthday Orator.
Berlin, Jan. 29. Among speeches
delivered in Berlin, in appreciation

the utterances of two men have
attracted particular sttention. Adolph
Wermuth, lord mayor of Berlin, said:
"The emperor and the German peo

0 no loi,S r peace. The enemy
tarted out with the purpose of de
troying the countries in the heart of
Europe. Whenever the enemy aban
dons an effort on account of defeat,
he claims an immortal place of honor
in history. Whenever the central
powers conquer new territory the ene
mies refer to our despondency. There
fore our country does not talk of
peace, does not yearn for peace, but
fights and works for peace."
