"Aber was the show so bad like the
police said?" Zapp inquired once more.
"Well, I'll tell you," Birsky re-
peated: "when the police receives a
letter that a show is immoral and
they should please look the matter up
and oblige, Zapp, they try to put
themselves in the place of the average
theaytergoer; but the only thing is,
they got an idee that people which
goes most to the theayter was never
in such place before in their lives.
In particular, when it comes to a
show like the Russian ballet where
the orchestra seats would cost five
dollars apiece at the box office if they
was for sale there, the police thinks
that excepting the ushers everybody

for the first time from a place where
they still got an idee that dolmans is
the latest up-to-the-minute design in
women's outer garments, y'under-
stand, and not being experienced in
posters by this here Bakst, they don't
know whether it's Ben HW or DdUid
the Shepherd King till the curtain
goes up and shows the inside of the
harem with all the ladies not yet
dressed to receive company"
Naturally people from the country
seeing such thing would get
Schreck," Zapp commented.
"They would if they was there" Bir-
sky said, "but actresses and actors is
got to go long way to shock New
York audience. In fact, Zapp, if the
police knew their business they would
arrest the two front rows of New
York audience on looks alone, for the
bad effect the faces has got on the
morals of the actors and actresses.
However, Zapp, supposing that the
people which goes to see the Russian
ballet is as innocent as the police
claims, Zapp, it wouldn't make no

difference anyhow, because ballet is
like the deef and dumb language,
Zapp, people has got to study it for
years before they know what it means.
In fact, Zapp, if the police continues
to find this here Russian ballet is i'm
moral, Zapp, you would see advertise
ments in the paper:

Because as it stands now, you've
got to take the policies word for it
that it's immoral. Even the fifty
cent books, which the ushers tries to
sell you, don't help you any, which l
picked up one in the aisle and read it
going home in the subway, and give
you my word, Zapp, that book was
just so good description of Within
the Law oder Camille as it was of
the Russian ballet"
"That's because you've got to got
imagination to enjoy ballet" Zapp
said, "and the trouble with you is,
Birsky, that you amt got no imagina-
ton"
"Maybc l amt" Birsky agreed,
"dber when the book says, Mrs.
Fatima Harris is the favorite wife
of Sultan Charles z. Harris y'under-
stand, and couple of hundred young
ladies comes out and dances it for
you, for all you understand what they
are driving at they might just so well

there is to it"
might it's because you amt ac-
quainted with the Russian language
maybe" Zapp suggested. "You take
a Russian ballet which amt in the
country two weeks, understand, and
naturally they couldn't even talk the
English language let alone dance it."
"Then how did the police get on
that it was immoral?" Birsky asked.
Probably they sent policeman
there which speaks Russian" Zapp
said. They've got such fellers on
the police force, Birsky. There is
even policemen which can shake down
saloonkeepers in every European Ian
guage, and Chinese and loschen

feller gets married for money and his
wife should Gott soil Hueten go broke,
he amt going to stay faithful to her
very long, and if feller becomes
sitson to get job, y'undcrstand, all
such feller needs is to lose his job
and right away he becomes just so

Birsky said. "There's only one way
to look at it: if a feller makes his
living in country, he should be a
sitson."
as that so?" Zapp retorted. "Well,
if all the Americans living in Mexico
would of taken out sitson papers there
what would of happened to 'em?"
"The same as happened to 'em
when they didn't" Birsky said. "But,
anyhow, Zapp, might if all the Ameri-

become Mexican sitsons, they would of

Hakodesh also, Birsky, and besides,
Birsky, what business do you got sup
porting a Russian ballet? thought
you was against the Allies?"
"Me against the Allies?" Birsky ex-
claimed. "How can you say such
thing? I've got just so many GUS
toners which is for the Allies as
against en-, Zapp-more even, and l
am perfectly neuter about this here
war. Furthermore, I've been an
American sitson now going on twenty
two years, and think that that otter
mobile factory out in Detroyit is quite
right which wouldn't give jobs except
to sitsons."
"Abcr if everybody done the same
thing, Birsky, what's going to become
of the greenhorns?' zapp asked. at
takes five years to get to be sitson,
and in the meantime they must got to
starve. Is that the idee? It's like all
them advertisements you see for ex-
perienced statesmen. If every con-
cern done the same thing, Zapp,
salesman would got to start in as
new beginner with at least five years
experience as salesman"
"Or else lie about it," Birsky said.
"Aber you couldn't lie about being
a sitson," Zapp continued. you've
got to show the papers,"
"Well, maybe this here oitermobile
concern says that they wouldn't pro-
mote nobody unless he becomes sit
son." Birsky admitted.
Even So" Birsky went on, "my
idee is that Teller should become
sitson like he gets married. He
should do it for love, because if a

instead of revolutions down there
they would now got direct primaries
and referendums and conventions and
all that Stuss. and instead of bull
fighting they would got moving pic
lures and vaudeville"
"Thcn take it the other way about"
Zapp insisted. "Supposing all the
Russians which comes over here be-
comes sitsons and starts in to Rus
sianize the country, would we be bet
ter off if instead of Congressman and
conventions we would got grand dukes
and pogroms, and instead of moving
pictures and vaudeville we would got

"T'phooecw
"Then what the devil you are talk
ing nonsense, Birsky?" Zapp asked.
"Aber the United States is real
country" Birsky protested, while
Mexico-that's something else again."
"You bet your life it is," Zapp said.
land when feller goes to make a
living in Mexico, Birsky, there's only
one thing he should ought to take out
down there-not sitson papers but
life insurance"

He lived in a dollhouse with some
other dOllies that were very curious

Just then little Alma popped inl

SUN WARNS HOUSE
 EVEN IN WINTER

Bottled Sunshine is what Alberta Barnes. 0 local machinist and gen. ius, calls his now invention--a caloric contrivance which he uses to heat his house in winter and to do the wash ing. ironing and all other household tasks requiring stored force.
 On the hottest days in summer MT. Barnes catches the rays ofthe sun at the focus of bright tin roof on his house and conveys the heat to his barn. which he has remodeled into an immense model of a fireless cooker box. In this building great squares of artificial stone are placed and the heat Is stored within these big disks. These are closely packed inside bales of pressed straw. The stones hold more than 100000 calories of heat, sufficient to heat his house all winter and to supply all needed extra heat.
