THE GREAT WHITE WAY
By o. o. M'INTYRE.

New York. Oct. H.-Down at The Cor
ner-Hammerstein's-I week Hank
Gowdy and Dick Rudolph pulled OF their
act amid great blushes. II is no wonder
they blushed for they got 1900 for it
As one dramatic critic put It Gowdy and
Rudolph as actors are about the best
baseball players on the Boston team. One
man in the audience said that after see
ing the act he could well understand how
they named the team the Braves. Hank
Is said to have remarked after the act
that he never knew before that he had
so many feet. In fact he felt like a
centipede- As for Rudolph. he could not
keep his hands from fighting. The boys
could not keep away the love notes
either. One young lady wrote Hank that
she knew that she must have known him
in some other Hfe-possibly when he was
Eric the Red, and she was a noted queen
After hearing Gowdy sing a sentimental
ballad handsomely dressed lady in one
OF the boxes expressed a keen desire to
see him play baseball

press charges on a package from Boston.
When he opened 1t he found his shirt

has been ordered by his physician to cur
tail his smoking.
He told me to chew gum as a substi-
tute." said Mr.. Kirby, but I didn't
think he was very consistent"
Why not?' he was asked
Well, as I left his office he ordered his
stenographer to quit chewing gum
''Yes?"
And then he lit a big black cigar"
Home without a servant That is the
big problem that New York women must
solve. Europe has ceased to supply
America with hands and arms and strong
young backs Ellis Island drowses in
the sun. No longer are Gretchens and
Hildas, Olgas and Christines pouring like
grist through the immigration mill. When
our present supply has married the ice
man and the butchers helper, who will
broil our steaks, wash our clothes and
WELD the vacuum cleaner? For the war
has taken Europe's fittest-and in war
it is the fittest who do not survive 1t
remains for the weaker to go back and
plow the bloOdsoaked fields and the
women will have to help. There will be
none to come to America The servant
problem is going to take on terrors never
known before. Ma Lynch, who runs
the biggest theatrical boarding house in
the world. SAYS the help situation can't
get much worse, immigration or no i'm
migration. The solutions will be in the
hotel, cooperative living and the simpli-
fed, servantless house.
