treasurer of the Police Carle is the third union secretary to be summarily dismissed in a period of several months.WIDENS BREACH His dismissal has widened the already existing breach between the Union and the City Executive, and his fellow members are up in arms at what they consider an outrage upon their rights.Members of the force are firm in\u2019 their statements that they do not want trouble but declared that trouble is being forced upon them by the City \"Executive.THE THREE VICTIMS.First on the list of dismissals came the case of Sergeant Duguayeg police union secpetary.; His successor, Sergeant Bouchard was not in office long before he tod* was suddenly removed from the force, Captain Carle, long pfominent in Police Union circles, was appointed union secretary on May 27th.last.On Tuesday of this week he received notification of his discharge, HOW FIGHT BEGAN.The first clash of arms in the City Executive-Police Union imbroglio came more than a year ago when the police asked for a Board of Arbitration to mediate certain contentious questions which haa arisen.Sath a board was appointed, but the executive committee through its attorneys secured from the courts a writ to prohibit the arbitrators from sitting.From this there developed in the minds of the union members a feeling that the executive was \u201cout to break them\u201d, a view which many mendwrs of the union were not slow to express.From \u2018that time there has been grave distrust of the executive in the ranks of the force a view (Continued on page 3) Dad and Son Wed Sisters, Relationships in Tangle his

AXE, FRIDAY, JUNE, 8th, 1923 THE PLAY OF THE WEEK \u201cIts a Boy\u201d at the Orpheum this week, where it is caplially played, is à farce but it has an underlying note of social tragedy.Readers of THE AXE will find themselves In pecullar sympathy with its theme.1 know a lady who some years ago owned three ten-cent stores In Indlana.A big corporation operating a string of ten cent stores started opposition stores right apposite each of her eatabdlishments.Walists and blouses Worth two or three dollars they sold for fifteen cents.Other barkains were oqually remarkable, By this method they killed her business and, widow though she was, she was forced to the wall and robbed of the savings of a lifetime.That is the underlying theme of \u201cIts a Boy,\u201d although the details are different, and the working out of it is what will interest Axeites, Which is why 1 particularly commend a visit to The Orpheum this week.æ * #« Mr.Harold Hevias sterling players again gave a splendid account of themselves, Their offering on Monday night was a finished performance that could hardly have been excelled by a company which had been playing the piece for a year on Broadway.Every possible ounce of laughter, and laughter is in the play in tons, was squeezed out of it and I think it would be most fitting if Mr.Hevia were to change the escriptive title of his company to that of Harold Hevia's Comedians, The already popular leading man Richards, She made an ideal flapper, the sort of flapper who eventually pans out all right, Bhe seams, like Mr.Richards, likely to become 3 great favorite with Montreal theatregoers, x\u201c «A Of the remainder of the company, Miss Virginia Zollman presented another vignette of \u201cgranny\u201d, though not a very old granny, Mr.Frank Hetterick gave an admirable portrait of à Hebrew jewelry merchant, making what, in many hands, would have been an unsympathetic character one that wormed a way into the heart.Miss Suzanne Jackson as the \u201cprivate wife\u201d of R.W.Pendleton, the chain store corporation manager, gave the requisite light and shade to her part, her work in the scene where she breaks with the Blakes being eapecially well done.Clyde Franklin was not so well cast and fwas not able to project himself so completely under the skin of the character as usual.Mr.William Blair, the producer of The Orpheum plays.had a short bit as the Rev.David Talbot.He'll.do, Mr.Dave Rodgers whom we remember with the E.H.Robins Players was the \u201cpounder\u201d, Xenneth Holmes, and extractèd all the part's possibilities.The orchestra, under the baton of Mr.G., Romano, although small is of great merit and drew forth applause in no unstinted measure from the audience aftgr each item played.1 greatly enjoyed their rendition of \u201cThe Fortune Teller\u201d selection.1 want all Axe Readers to make and lady, Mr.Robert Gleckler and Miss Norma Phillips, again scored heavily.Mr.Gleckler, both in the comedy and the more tragic phases of his part, held his audience in his grip, bending its minds to his WiH, which is some feat.Miss Phillips had a difficult part ta piay, in one piece a most unsym - pathetic one.But that she won her audience speaks much for her capabilities.Her acting was never outside the picture and many a woman present doubtless saw her own gelf as in a mirror, as she watched, absorbingly Miss Phillips\u2019 delineation of the little home-loving wife becoming a social butterfly and reverting again to her true type.Mr.Hevia has a treasure in Mr.Louis Albion.His part fn \u201cIts a Boy\u201d has much more \u201cfat\u201d than the part he played in \u201cWhy men leave home\u201d and Mr.Albion lost no fat.The audience ate him up, so to speak.1 remember the English comedian, J.L.Toole, the great friend of Sir Henry Irving.If Mr.Albion ever plays in England it would not surprise me to learn of his being haled as another J.L.Toole.There is no higher praise that I could give him.Kenneth Richards, the \u201cjuvenile\u201d of the company had another evening out.He is a light comedian of rare promise.Boyish, frank, sunny, and with that \u2018indefinable something\u201d that gets across the footlights, Mr.Richards .made things hum with his half serious, half comic, manner of facing the problems of a \u201cboy\u201d in love.Miss Virginia Richmond was again an admirable foil to Mr.,a point of patronising The Orpheum each week, Mr, Hevia's venture is deserving of the utmost encouragement, He has a fine company of players, the plays are all new to Montreal, they are perfectly produced, and one may get a liberal dramatic education, apart from an evening of delight, at The Orpheum.JAY AITCH.FALSE TEETH ALL 'TWIXT PROFESSOR AND UNDERTAKER The narrow minded gent who proclaims that no good is to be derived from false teeth would be well advised to talk things over with Professor Bonetti, the gallant lad who does the Slide for Life at Dominion Park this week.From a height of seventy feet above the ground, the Professor slides on an inclined steel wire a distance of four hundred and fifty feet with nothing between him and the undertaker\u2019s parlor but his false teeth.What became of the Professor's original molars we do not know, but we do know that the professor hasn't them now, for he pleasingly demonstrated the fact to us by casually removing both uppers and lowers from his oral cavity when showing us how the deed is done.The stunt, incidentally, is a whiz in every sense of the word, and well worth seeing.On Sunday, weather permitting, Professor Binetti will undertake a balloon ascension and parachute jump in which thrills are promised.| * A rer ESS ORPHE MATINEES : TUES,, ORPHEUM MARJORIE RAMBEAU'S

theatrical interests of Jule and J.J.Allen in Canada, who built and have operated the Allen Theatre, Montreal, are likely to pass into the hands of First National Pictures, according to statements issued from New York.The properties controlled by the Allens comprised about 25 theatres from one end of Canada to the other in which the company held an interest, the proposition being one that was principally floated through local capital in each community.HIP !

ever, lends color to the belief that the venture will not be undertaken this summer.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Will Rogers, just pulled the best one ever when, in referring to a huge civic parade which he had witnessed he remarked.\u201cIt was funny how they placed «ot cleaners right behind the i.ar\u201d Two-Gun Bill Hart has announced that he will return at once to the screen following the clearing of his character by Miss Elizabeth Mags Caulley who formerly declared Hart the father of her child, but who has since sworn that her story was & \u201cphantom\u201d, as stated in last week's Axe.Hart is already under contract with Jesse Lasky and is reporting to Los Angeles at once.-_\u2014_\u2014_\u2014 man, who gives her an apartment on Park Avenue after her Death conveniently removes him, and she has prospects of becoming a Duchess when the artificiality, the unreality, and the futility of the who'a social game strike her.Her first husband turns up opportumely and they decide to start again, leaving the whole social whiyl to take care of itself, While Miss Phillips will have a great role Mr.Hevia's capable comedians will all be well cast.Personally, I regard this group of actors as the best stock company I have seen in Montreal.There is not a misfit in the whole crowd and there is hardly a task to which they may be called that they cannot perform with distinction and that touch of perfection, one so seldom meets with in stock dramatic companies.JAY AITCH.(\u201cIts a boy\u201d), and as the old man has scalded his foot I \u201ccovered\u201d the show.It's tip top!

others were given high jumping, others hurdling, other broad jumping, some squad drill and gymnastics.A few were able to weather about four or five minutes of the stiff exercise then began to wilt.The moment one would cease his work the powerful doctor, armed with a heavy razor strap in one hand and a stout club in the other would commence to belabour him, \u201cATHLETES\u201d NEARLY DIE Finally when the attendants reached the scene, attracted by the howls of the delinquent athletes, most of them were\u2019 in the last stages of exhaustion, Some lay groaning on the floor, their bodies à mass of welts and bruises, others were cowering in their Eder-}lke garb under a bed, one skinny little fellow dangled from a chandelier while a portly old bibbler straddled a trunk, gmnting and puffing like an ancient locomotive.Peculiarly, although the experiences of the regulars who visit the place are well-known to their intimate friends and to hosts of acquaintances, they do not seem to act as a caution to others.In fact most of the Institutions are taxed to capacity and one of them is reported fo be planning considerable extensions to accomodate the heavy demands made upom it for spacé, .1 + ed the star role in one of the most | \u2018weight lifting and the remainder | rage 8 LIEUTENANT LANTEIGNE.Present head of the Police Union which meets to-night te discuss Executive Committee action in summarily dismissing Captain Carle, Union Secretary, from the force.FIRST VICTIM SERGEANT DUGUAY.Former Secretary Treasurer of the Police Union was first unio® official to be discharged from the Force in Executive Committes- Police Union war.EX-UNION CHIEF | EX-SERGEANT BOUCHARD.Second of the Police Union Secretary - Treasurers discharged.\u2018His dismissal was accompanied by serious charges laid at the doop of civic offidials by tire police officer.CORPSE\u2019S SNORE 1 \u2018TURNS TEARS TO BEAMING BLISS A young Worcester .mother telephoned the police that her baby had died suddenly in its crib.\u2018 When the surgeon arrived with the ambulance and driver, they were met by à red-eyed young Woman.Yeon, Buster's dead,\u201d she wailed.\u201cWhere's the body?\u201d inquired the surgeon gently.;

linestrellis than a room that is less fortunate and in which the vines should be encouraged to cling to the sides of the windows.A list of vines suitable for growing indoors would include: English Ivy, which is easily propagated by cuttings.German Ivy, which should be dusted often with tobacco to discourage the aphis with which it is apt to be infested.Cup-and-Saucer Flower (Cobaea Scandens), which is a flowering plant as well as a strong grower.Maderia Vine, which is a tuberous- rooted plant, a profuse bloomer, and a rapid grower, Thunbergia alata, the seed of which should be planted in August.Tradescantia, or Wandering Jew, which is one of the most popular and familiar of indoor plants.Periwinkle, which should be obtained in the unvariegated variety.HONOR ELSIE JANIS Elsie Jane, stage star, was awarded the Medaille Louis Le Grand recently by the officials of the Sorbonne.She was invited to sing her favorite song, \u201cGlve Me the Moonlight,\u201d and the prize was a complete surprise to her.The honor has been given to only two women, Sarah Bernhardt and Mime Réjane.IT WILL DO IT.When the rubber disk on the end of the garter wears out, take a round rubber from the end of a pencil, cut it in half, bore a hole through the center, sharpen it around the edge and stretch it over the brass knob on the end of the garfer.Initials, monograms and other designs of a similar sort are still smart as trimming for blouses and sweaters.cosa À © \\ A DIFFICULT CASE TO ADVISE UPON Dear Miss Kirkland: \u2014 I have been married eight years, and am the mother of three children, two girls and a boy.We have a cosy little home in a good district, deeded in my name, and, ak the surroundings which make for comfort, except for one fact.My husband of late has been drinking heavily and scarcely comes home at all.Oftentimes he will telephone to me very late at night to say that he is going to stay downtown, Our home life, which once was so charming and wholesome, has now ceased to exist.I have all the money I need for my home, to feed and clothe my children nicely, for on the first of every month my husband regularly sends a deposit to my bank to cover my coming expenses.In that respect he is most generous.But 1 would far rather like he kept his money If it is but paid as the price of his neglect.1 know there are other women In his life, Miss Kirkland, though I have never \u201cinvestigated\u201d his comings and goings, for the simple reason that so long as 1 do not absolutely know that he deceives me there is always the lingering hope that my fears are false and that soon he will come back to us.What can I do?All I want is my husband's love; that and a man whose children will not grow to be ashamed of him.How can I make him care again?: (MRS.)
