WOMAN LACKS COMIC SPIRIT.
But She l. More Humor Loving Than
NIan SayS Marie Tempest

Woman is more humor-loving
animal than man." Thus Marie
Tempest, who ought to know, for
woman Is her sex and humor her
business. Having said this much, she
went on to expOund, In the intervals
OF a recent evening when she was not
needed "At the Barn." the second
play Of her repertoire now occupying
the stage OF the Comedy theatre.
what woman does lack is not a
sense OF humor, but a sense OF COM
edy-the comic spirlt-which is quite
different thing. The sense OF hu-
NOR is purely subjective, while the
sense OF comedy Is objective. Pos
sessed OF a sense Of humor, we can
laugh at the world and at ourselves;
possessed OF sense of comedy we
can make others laugh.
'Nery few people have both. Wom-
en-. who have an abundant sense Of
humor, are almost devoid OF the
comic spirit, which accounts for tho
very few humorous feminine authors
and tho equally few condolences we
have on the stage. A woman can
laugh just as heartily and at as many
different things as can a man, but
when It comes to making others
laugh she finds N very difficult.
Making people laugh, or making
them cry is. whether consciously or
uncousciously, largely a matter Of
technique Sir Joshua Reynolds used
to say that when Mrs. Siddons stab
bed baked potato with her fork, It's
effect upon a dinner party was Just as
impressive as though she were stab
bing the hero OF a classical drama.
81 often think one OF the reasons
why the comic actor and actress are
so scarce is the ridiculous human
sensitivcncss az being laughed at.

AN AUTOMATIC" CITIZENSHIP.
Tom Marshall Talks on Individual
Responsibility

Vice President Thomas Il. Marshall
has coined new phrase, a phrase
that Is likely to stick In a paper I'm
the Atlantic Monthly he has divided
the citizens Of this country into three
grades. briefly as follows:
First. Those who obey the law
through fear Of It's penalties men
who deal sQuarely because their law
yers tell them that they will lose
money and perhaps their liberty, II
they do not These constitute the
lowest grade OF citizenship.
Second Those who obey the law
because It Is the law; they have no
respect for It: they regard it as crude,
foolish, immaterial legislation. but
their respect for constituted authority
induces them to keep the letter Of
the law regardless OF their opinion OF
the spirit OF II. These constitute an
improved class of citizens.
Third Those who realize that with
the right OF individual success in
America has come the duty OF indi-
vidual responsibility, that they may
"go the limit" I'm the way OF success,
but they must not injure their fell
low men. These Governor Marshall
calls the salt Of the republic" lie
is pleased to call them automatic
citizens
Defining his apt term Mr. Marshall
goes on To say that N Americans ZEN
tertain the deluslou to that iudivid-
uausm authorizes them TO do any
thing which the legislature has not
forbidden. and which the courts can
not punish. then the lndivldualism OF
Thomas Jefferson will be a pro-
nounCed failure
II, on the other hand, we restore
to our indWidualism our religious
conscience. II We do not lose sight
OF our responsibility while at the
same time insisting upon our rights
II We 90 only as far as we can go
without depriving our brother OF any
OF his rights" then this individuslistic
republic will survive. mot by the

WASIIINGTON March 3.-Al-
though the government war risk in

Insurance on American ships and car

attitude of the warrlng nations toward
neutral commerce is giving much con-

The war risk bureau already has
felt compelled to raise Its rates on IN

the sinking of the American ships

fronted with the problem OF how TO
meet the situation resulting from the
declaration OF the allies that CONNER

many and the outside world will be
Gtopped.
Experts In International law pointed
out tonight that II a blockade actually
had been declared, the bureau would
not be in m embarras ssing position,
for its policies contain clauses de
signed to relieve the government of
risk where a vessel or cargo carrying
insurance is seized In attempting to
run a blockade.
Under the announced plan or the
allies. however. it was said that II an
American cargo OF cotton or other
nou-coutrahaud article should be
seized and detained. the government
might be held liable for the Insurance.
