SUBMARINE DIVING ACT
ON THE 0RPHEUM STAGE
Captain sorcho Lectures While His Men
Perform With Tank Equipped With
Telephone-Tech Football Team rs
Guests Make Evening Lively

OF uncommon interest is the illus
trated lecture on deep sea diving by
Captain Louis Soreho at the Orpheum
theatre this week. The captain does
none of the diving in his act but adds
greatly to the interest by lecturing
while another diver dons the uniform
and does the illustrating in a tank on
the stage. The setting in the tank rep
resents the stateroom door on the deck
of q sunken ocean liner.
The act is interesting, first because
the ordinary landlubher has only the
smallest conception of the nature of a
diver outfit, and second because it is
very rare chance one has 20 see a
diver working under water, with the as
sistants overhead operating the air.
pump and the telephone. The submarine
telephone is a recent innovation. The
lifeline no longer is used to send mes
sages to the surface but the diver is in
constant communication with the sur.
face by telephone.

your complexion is as clear. soft and

is inevitable, no matter how soiled or

The process is entirely harmless, so

The situation was alarming for 1000
human beings, a number that wasn't
really a s'drop in the bucket" of New
York's millions of people. Societies
formed for the purpose of combating
just such conditions talked and plan
ned and did some good in the way
of helping those distracted clerks.
All this was NEWS. 1t was sent
broadcast over the country.
Then came to bat several of New
York's sons of whom Father Knicker-
booker is justly pround. John Claf-
lin, owner of a great department
store, and who might be called an
amateur philanthropist" because he
does so much good and little is known
of it, said he could care for several
hundred of the jobless clerks at his
store. He had full force and did
MT know what work he could put
these discharged Siegel clerks to do
ing, but he had a great big, warm
heart, and he stepped into the
breach. His announcement was no
sooner made than ]. B. Greenhut, an
other department store owner fol-
lowed with similar announcement.
And then, actually, the heads of 9TH
er' big establishments here all but ex
hibited jealousy in giving positions
to the former Siegel clerks.
These offers of help contained good
"human interest copy" but Siegel and
Vogel had been indicted and all the
details of their failure had been often
in print, so the story was stale. Be-
sides a fresh gunmen outbreak
crowded out" the human interest fea-
ture and people outside of the i'm

material proof that the great city

At least, it cannot be gainsaid that,
relatively, there is as much good IN
wicked New York as there is in any
other American city. Let some one

something over 100000 souls kick
mn gunmen's row on the East Side,

disinfect some of the slime covered
Police System linen, and the whole
world knows about it the next after
noon. But let some philanthropic,
lsrge-souled son of Gotham reach out
a helping hand to his neighbor and
il creates little stir for the simple
reason that it is not as good copy
as a fight or a murder or an expose
of Police System graft.
Witness the recent closing down of
the two Henry Siegel stores here.
For days the news was full of the
alleged actions of Henry Siegel and
Frank E. Vogel, whose methods,
whether legal or illegal, resulted in
the closing up of two of New York's
biggest department stores that en-
ployed some $500 clerks, most OF
them S5 and Sc a week girls. Many
of those girls had come to New York
from the country. They Were liv-

those aldermen are human beings;

For instance-and this is only
one of hundred cases that might be

has a Sunday closing law for bar
rooms and all places where liquors
are sold, excepting those restaurants
and cafes that pay heavily for an
open Sunday license. This law was
made by the Board of Aldermen.
The Board of Aldermen, during
deeply religious spasm also passed
an ordinance prohibiting the ubiqui-
tous New York delicatessen shops
from keeping open all day or Sun
days. The ordinance says these deli
catessen shops can remain open only
between the hours of seven and ten
a. M, and four and seven p. m,
on the Sabbath. And that ordinance
is enforced with strictness that
would do duty to enforcement of law
during military rule. This, in spite
