Of What Earthly Use is a Show Girl?

4 MONG the court papers In the matri
IN monial squabble between Mr.. Ignatz
Jacobson OF New York, and his wife,
who is a Show Girl with one OF Nr. Florenz
Ziegfeld's stage productions, appears this
interesting sworn statement
my wife is Show Girl; she cannot sing,
she cannot dance, she cannot act-she only
fills space What earthly use is Show
Grip"
For the answer to this poser statement
was first sought from the young lady herself
the Show Girl wife Of Mr.. Jacobson And
that is printed below on this page.
Pursuing this enhancing line Of investi-
cation still further the question was carried
to Mr.. Ziegfeld himself. for he Is the In
ventor, creator. patentee and father OF the

Show Girl idea. While historians may have
some doubt TO who began the war, there
is common agreement among the pest living
authorities that Ziegfeld began the Show
Girls The original manuscript Of Mr..
Ziegfeld's utterances on this profound sub
ject has been fled IN the library Of Con-
gress and copy sent to the British Museum
to be kept for the benefit OF dramatic
historians OF the future. Read It below on
this page.
One very remarkable discovery has been
made by Mr. Ziegfeld-that big girls have
small brains. Like big shaggy dogs. they
cant be taught cute tricks. After years Of
patient experiment Mr.. Zegfeld has found
that short girls, small girls, girls whose
brains are closer to the ground are the
best material.

VIII Help Solve Problem Of
Military Unpreparedness.
= BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

(Staf Correspondent Western Newspaper
Union.)
Washington.-Thes senate committee
on military affairs has given favora-
BILE and unanimous report to a bill
which will make Uncle Sam in part
the paymaster Of the national guards
men of all the states in the Union.
This means that every Republican
and Democrat holding membership in
the committee is in favor Of paying
the state troops out of the funds in the
United States treasury for the actual
military work which they perform.
Army men hold that this will increase
largely the efficiency of the National
Guard. will help solve the problem of
military preparedness and will largely
increase the enlistments in the mill
tary organizations Of all the states.
This federal pay bill for the militia
may not become q law at this ses-
sion. but members of congress seem
to think that its passage virtually Is
certain in the near future. Under
this bill the enlisted men in the guard
will be paid rs per cent of the pay of

For years the officers Of the Ma

have been advocating this measure.
The governments division Of militia
affairs in the war department has rec
commended it time after time. Con-
gress was opposed to it, but recently
seemingly there has been a complete
change of sentiment, the vote in the
senate committee showing this conclu-
sively for 1t has been said every Dem

mittee gave the measure his sanction.
Regular army officers and guards
men alike have urged that nearly all
men when they are paid to do thing,
no matter how small the payment may
be. feel an obligation to do it, They
say that drill attendance will be in
creased largely, that interest in the
guards work will be keener and that
the relations between the state troops
and the regular troops will be closer
than ever. In truth the unanimous
vote of the senate on this bill and the
approval which has been expressed of
the measure go to show seemingly
