WHO IS TO BLAME FOR
LAWLESSNESS IN HOMES?
'
ifef
K:
Who is to blame for lawlessness
among children—the father or. the
mother? Or neither?
These interesting questions ere
brought to mind by the mighty film
drama Mrs. Wallace Reid offers at
the Elaine Theatre Tonight and Ejrl*
day. “Broken Laws,” her newest pho-
toplay d®als with Mother Love and the
Law.
One of the principal figures is a boly,
Bobby Allen, who develops into .a
tyrant with no regard for law or for
other people.
Who was to blame?
Bobby’s ■ father taught him it was
smart' to ‘-‘beat” speed cops. He dran(c,
too, and made light of the constituted
law of the land in other ways.
Albert Staley entertained a number

Sinton vs. Taft r: ’
One of the greatest surprises of the j
all-star basket ball season came last j
Wednesday night, when the Sinton all- I
star squad won a hotly contested game
over the undefeated Taft all-stars on
the Taft indoor court.
The first half ended, Taft .leading by
a score of 12 to 2.
Sinton, though handicapped by this j
i large score, came back in the second
| half with the old fjighting spirit, and
" third quarter played Matt’s
squad completely off their feet, the
quarter ending with Taft leading by
a margin of one point, 14-13.
The frequent laughs given the Sin-;

quiries concerning it, would remain
