at the Hippodrome yesterday. The
Jackson & Andrews company has a
punch and they present the plays
each day with snap and pepper that
carries everybody right along. The
singing and dancing yesterday was es-
peciaIly clever, some songs that we
had not heard for long time being
on the program. Jim Pearl, as tile
Irish comedian. took honors yester'
day with his "Woggle Bus" song.

but for having but one rehearsal with

LONDON, Eng.-Is the national

il used TO be? Professor Keith, before
the British Association at Newcastle,
said that John Bull is reflectins in
his physical being something of the
leanneSs of war-times.
Professor keith told the associa-
ton that the face of the typical Eng
lishman is becoming longer and thin

rs-bronzed, spare, lean, aqui-
line and with prominent cheekbones,
and the speaker infers that the Eng
lish type in the future will come

visitors than the bluff, country squire,

1t is pointed out that the typical
city man or financial district bust
nessman is perceptibly thinner than
was his father. The farmer has lost
his plumpness. The Eatired army Of.
ficer is a sparer figure. Even the
country squire-the last survival of
the new fast-disappearing England
bears a closer resemblance to Don
Quixote than to John Bull
