Radiators.

Do your radiators radiate?
Qr~do they spend their days and
nights singing, whistling, carousine
end whooping it up around room cor
ners? And do they wake up in the
morning hiccoughing and belching and
looking dissipated?
Ours do. And we swear by every
icicle on>6ur mustache that before we
rept>again we'll ask the landlord how
his radiators spent their evenings.
"Will the radiator care," we'll ask
whether we freeze to death?" And
if the landlord answers evasively We'll
go elsewhere.
Big, husky, intelligent looking ra-
diators like ours, that stand around
and hiccough and sing soprano at Z
o'clock in the morning have certainly
gone to the devil and there's no hope
for them.
We don't think much of radiators
anyhow. Base-burners and round oak
stoves may have had their faults, but
they knew their business.

''Twin Beds" at the Palace

Salisbury Field and Margaret
Mayo's screamingly funny comedy
"Twin Beds," will have its first local
presentation at the Palace theatre
Thursday and Friday, January 81 and
February 1.
erwin Beds" ran for one solid year
in New York, played for six months
IN Australia and has already reached
it's second year in London. "Twin
Beds" is built for laughing purposes
only. There is not play on the
boards anywhere today that is as
amusing as this hilariously funny COM
edy. 1t is real cure for the blues,
insomnia, melancholia, domestic trou-
bles, detection, indigestion-in short
everything. 1t is the best doctor and
the cheapest. "Twin Beds" is heal
thy, wholesouae and amusing comedy
which earned and held it's long public
endorsement by it's swiftly moving ac-
ton; it's fresh and sparkling lines, in
which new wit is presented, and its
skilfully drawn characters, all of
them Scarcely less amusing than they
are true.
This is not a motion picture. A
real company of twelve people and a
car of scenery.

FUGITIVES CAN'T GET
TO EUROPE ANY MORE
(By United Press)

London, Jan. 25.-American fugi-
tives from justice can't escape to Eu-
rope any more.
They have to prove too many
things about themselves that it's in
convenient to prove before they can
get either in or out.
Probably the only Americans ar
irving in Europe nowadays without
first asking permission of Uncle Sam
are, occasionally, sailors who ship
out of American ports under care
less shippers. AS soon as they set
foot on European shores they are
arrested and held until their ship
leaves for a neutral port. .-.-
But the old pre-war brand of ex-
tradition, which provided its almost
daily yarn for American and Euro
pean papers, is dead.

Borrowed Sunshine" at L. & S.


Helen Grant lives in wretched
tenement with her little sister, Goldie,
aged 6. where the former makes a
meagre living for both by coloring
cards. The chief delight of the baby
is her flower, on which the sun
shines for a few fleteing moments at
3 o'clock in the afternoon. John Glen
arm, a young draughtsman, sees the
girl in the window. While on their
way to eat lunch in the park the
child is nearly run down by an au-
tomobile, but is saved by Glenarm. A
love affair, sponsored by the child,
develops. But Glenarm's salary is
too small for matrimony. Just as
he is about to request small in
crease his employer announces that
the city's principal banker will pay
a $4,000 prize to the architect who
will design a house to suit him. Glen
arm puts every ounce of ability into
the contest and wins it. His salary is
trebled and Helen and Goldie leave
the tenement for their new bunga-
low, far less pretentions than the
bankers palace, but also far more
homelike. Borrowed Sunshine" will

be shown a story of "The Girl From
Frisco" also a Selig-T Tribune News

Secretary of the Navy, jose

The steel trusts and the liquor
elements are fighting him hard.
Why so? Because Mr.. Daniels
dared to be a DanieU to fight
against some of the wrongs pre-

great stress. The liquor men
are fighting him because he was

across the waters. The imme-
date incentive to Mr.. Daniels
'strenousness and determination
to break up a supposed custom of
many years standing, among
the naval men on board sea-
fighters is his discovery that a
most excellent young officer of
no bad habits, just out of Ann
apolis naval school and in active
service his first year, was dis
covered drunk on duty and per-
emptorily dismissed in disgrace
by the very men who twitted
him for being a sissy" because
he refused to drink wine with
them, until their evil influence
over him induced him to drink.
The immediate cause of the
young mans getting drunk is he
was sick and happened to imbibe
just a bit more than was needed.
When the foster father of the
young man had taken the mat
ter up to Mr.. Daniels and fully
explained the character of the
young man as one of great ex-
ception, he asked Mr.. Daniels if
it was fair or right that his boy
