Sunted on for acting that is pleasing
and convincing, but as LORD Luuley he
was better in some respects than IN
anything he has done in Washington
Miss Hammond had a part that gave
her not much opportunity, but IN the
one scene in which there was 8 chance
for real acting, she showed she knew
how to handle the part

EuTOpe'S Glad Hand.

The rush TO Europe goes on. From
London comes the news:
''The transatlantic steamers are
bringing each week about 1900 vis-
itors from America, and yet the
season has barely begun. By the
end of May they viii be arriving at
the rate of 10000 a week, and, if the
passenger agencies are to be cred
tied, before August more than $780,
600 Americans win have visited
London. For this year is going to
be the biggest ever as far as the
American invasion is concerned" :"
Added to this is the cheerful state
ment that about S1OO,oOO,O 900 is ''the
total amount of money which
Americans spend annually in Eng
land and the Continent"
So, hearing that Americans are
rather short of money, Europe is
batting the hook most temptingly.
Several Kings viii be on exhibition
at various spas, and their majesties'
fondness for Americans viii receive
special mention from now on. And
there viii be horse shows, auto
shows, an international exposition
or two, and the Olympic games,
and so on. In the spring the for
eigner's fancy sweetly turns to
thoughts of helping the American
blow his money.

One Reason Why.

Congress, however, can legislate
to its hearts content for the Dis
trict of Columbia" says the Boston
Transcript, 'and it so happens that,
although the industries of the city
are small, few places in the country
are in greater need of improved
regulations"
A main reason is that the Con-
gressman's people at home have
been willing it should be so.
