at the Family theatre, Moline. they
were obliged TO respond to several en-

performance. Their line of talk is
clever and as laugh provokeTs they
have few equals. There is Tendehoa, an
Indian woman, who gives a wonderful
exhibition. Charles Gilroy is seen in
a new act which is made unusually
entertaining because of the work OF
his partner, a Miss Gladys Corriell.

The practice of the Bull Moosers
and the Cannibals, as the high school
football teams for Saturdays game

last night. A number OF recruits
have been added TO each squad. Dean

season has been added to the Bull
Moose squad and Lee Barnett, who
was one of the mainstays of the sec
Ond team last year, but who was pre-
vented from joining the high school
squad this season, is annexed TO the
Moose. He will probably be lined up

Laughter" he says, is a convulsive
action of the diaphragm. In this state
the person draws a. full breath ana
throws it out in interrupted, short and
audible cachinnations. This convul-
sion Of the diaphragm is the principal
part of the physical manifestation of
laughter, but there are several aces
sories, especially the sharp vocal ut
terance arising from the violent ten
sion Of the larynx and the expression
of the features, this being a more in
tense form of the smile. In extreme
cases the eyes are moistened by the
