like that you'll go blind"
Mugby-"Do you know like you, but
I could forget It,"
A comic opera without a chorus but
with Pauline Hall. II the philoso-
piers laws Of compensation holds good,
Miss Hall is the equivalent Of the
chorus. in addition to being Miss Hall.
The performance of "Dorcas'' at the
Willis Wood last night brough out the
friends of Miss Hall of the old days,
and she justified in every way their
loyal reception. "Dorcas" is a revival
Of production which was rather pre-
tentious before vaudeville lured Miss
Hall from the legitimate. In using this
vehicle to return to her own as a
prima donna she displayed eminent
judgment and the supporting company
is more than sufficient.
Years have dealt gently with the
star, and her twenty odd-mind the
| odd-summers have left her unscatched
both in beauty and voice. The tendency
to avoidpuois which was noticeable
| when she sang at the Orpheum has
system of banting and the days are re-
called when she waroled the lullaby
from "E,rminie'' when she --rst began
to receive American beauties from the
admiring first nighters.
| "Dorcas' is tuneful and John e.
Young interpects a delightful humor
which creates longing to see him In
a stellar role. His droll foolery has
about it nothing o. the low comedy
which depends upon cheap tricks. 1t
is clean, pure comedy. The theme OF
the opera is slight, but like the Biddle
family of Philadelphia, its ramif1ca-
tions are infinite in their variety
| There is a bit Of real music, two bits
Of topical songs, and dollars worth
of real merit. Miss Halls voice retains
| it's clearness, and the little tricks OF
articulation which are all her own re-
main.
A most charming feature was the
chess song by Miss Knapp and Chas
| Fulton. Two encores were insisted
upon. Miss Weathersby, with her Mrs
Malaprop numbering Of the Kings
English, contributed to the fun of the
ulay. The supporting company was
excellent in every way, and to those
who love Pauline Hall for her art, and
! to those who care tor a. really, truly
| good performance, "Dorcas'' is bound
to be pleasing. There will be special

WHAT WORKERS FORGET.

IF trades unions are properly con-
ducted," says the genial hard scrabble
employer, II am in favor Of Them but
I am opposed to strikes, and especially
sympathetic strikes and boycotting."
Why, naturally, my good man. Right
you are! A properly conducted"
trades union will serve both capital and
labor by combining its activities to pay
ing death benefits, besides electing- of
ficers and passing resolutions. No
union should have anything to do with
strikes. They are vulgar ebullitions o.
mean natures. And IL by any chance
a. strike should occur let the strikers
fight it out as best they can. No strike
benefits should be paid them, for that
might indicate sympthy and no prop
,erly constructed union man should ex-
hibit such a. weakness
" On the other hand il strikers should
happen to command success it is proper
for employers to see to 1t that no striker
can get another job, for It might ens

1929 Koreans came into the United
States, against 1882 Japanese and
1906 Koreans in 1904, a decrease Of
348. The decrease of Japanese i'm
migration has been attributed to the
war, but it is peculiar fact that the
most noticeable decrease has taken
place since the Inauguration. of the
agitation for exclusion, but be that
az it may, the increase of the number
of Koreans offsets the decrease of
Japanese, and we may rest assured
that the decrease is only temporary.
So far as can be learned Japanese
immigration is likely to be diverted,
for time at least, to the northern
ports. Mr.. Kozaki, gentleman OF
ability and means having expressed
his intention to establish q. large
Japanese industrial colony on the
Sound, where by all accounts the Jap
is more highly appreciated than he
is in California. ..-.: = ...~'

injury. Shortly after

him as if he were an enemy. When !,

A Tortoise, lazily basking in the

Red Sea- II will teach you to fly
then,' said the Eagle; and taking
her up in his talons, he carried her
almost to the clouds, when suddenly
letting her go, she fell on lofty
mountain and dashed her she'll to
pieces. The Tortoise exclaimed in
the moment of death: II have de-
served my present fate: for what
had I to do with wings and clouds
who can with difficulty move about
on the earth?''
II men had all they wished they
would be often ruined, and content
ment is indeed a jewel to the toiler
who enjoys it's blessings.

/ Jupiter issued a proclamation to
all the beasts Of the forest, and

fees signed up.
The success of the printers strike
is now assured. Nearly IS per cent
Of the towns having unions have
signed the eight hour agreement and
many more are on the verge of
signing up. Better conditions for
all concerned will result from this
strike and employers in all trades
will recognize the justice Of the de-
mands. The harmonious activity be-
tween employer and employee will en-
able both to work for each others well
fare and upbuilding. 1t is lament
able fact that on both sides there are
those who imagine that there lis only
one side to the question and from that
basis springs many disagreements that
| proper view would entirely eliminate.
Let us hope that with the settling of
the strike a correct understanding of
, each others rights will be recognized
and that for many years no such course
will be again necessary.

along, made lowly% prostration before
the Image. The Ass, thinking that

respect for him, bristled up with
pride and gave himself airs and re-

long persuasive arguments prevented
