"Ace ofl Hearts," is shown there. As the ti! tle suggests, the most romantic card | in the deck plays a large part in the! destinies of all the people concern | in the story. It is the means of ~hoosing the man who is to rid the world of its most evil character; wl is the symbol of a sudden. love thet sprang into being at the moment of danger; and when the purger of humanity has failed in his mission of murder, the ace of hearts points to the man who is to carry out the sentence of the fanatical group up- on the man who has failed. Amid these hatreds that lead only to thoughts of revenge and death, two men and a woman become in- volved in a seemingly inextricable emotional triangle. It is solved through the self-sacrifice of one of the men; and at the same time an | atmosphere of hate is turned into: one of love. { "fn "Ace of Hearts," which was directed by Wallace Worsley, Lon Chaney, who will be' remembered for his portrayal of the legless man ia "The Penalty," has am important role.

Mrg, McInnis was at home with her nafents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Nor- they, 28 Mill 8t., and died after an liness of only one week, On the afternoon of her death, she was jok ing and laughing with those around I saying that she wished the doctor 'would hurry and come 80 that she could get up. A sudden pain in the heart setzed her and a minute aftepwards 'she was dead. This is one of thesaddest deaths that nas occurred in South Oshawa in years, Mrs. McInnis was only a extremely well likea py a large number of residents, hav- ing been employed in the Ladies' De- partment of the Burns Shoe Store previous to ber recent marriage to Mr. McInnis.

Reeve Morris contended that tvs pool rooms, came within the juris diction of the police, and accord ing to the reports from the police there was not very much wrong with existing places, he pool room was not any more a menace to the com- munity than the movies, us both were amusements, It it was not right to play pool, let us take th tables out of the YiM.C.A. Coun, Burns sald that there wore 34 pool and billiard tables in town at present, a number that he consid- ered sufficient for a town of Osh- awa's size, Coun. Moffatt said that the whole discussion was a tempest in a ton pot, He disapproved of the idea held by some that pool tables were the instruments of the devil. He wae opposed to giving four men a mon- opoly of the business. The town should grant licenses to all who applied, but should raise the stand- ard where it was wanted, It was a, mistake to place the business in the | hands of four pool Kings. | Coun.

The Council by Ymit- ing the business was making it & val- nable asset to one person, as one man could purchase all the pool rooms. He would grant 12 licenses and let them all automatically die for lack of business. Coun. Rowe said that one man could not buy all the pool rooms, 5 the Couneil would not allow it and would refuse to issue a license Coun. Johnston said that he be- lieved in fair competition.

He cited an instance where a man wanted to start a pool room be low an upstairs place already estab- lished and running a fair place. He was not in favor of killing the other man's business. Coun. Preston pointed out also that the buying or licenses could he made a profitable business. Coun, Hawkes reaffirmed his form- or stand as opposed to granting fur- ther licenses.
