DEMAGOGUES LEFT
WITHOUT AN ISSUE
Without. Cooperation of big Bus
mess" the Government Would
Not Be Prepared to Bat
tie With the Hun
nx HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, May Especial Ut
is matter of record that the big cor
porations of the United States have
displayed fine patriotism in co-operat-
ing with the government in it's effort
to prepare for this and possibly other
wars.
Certain politicians, inveighins
against the corporations because they
have profited financially as q result
of the war, declare their patriotism in
the present is due to their chastise-
ment in the past, and their hope OIL
currying favor for future plumber.
Nevertheness. it is true that without
the. cooperation of big business, the
government would not be prepared as
it is today to battle the Hun, or in
such state of preparation, that 1t
will be secure against any harmful
development of the future.
OF greater assistance than any other
to the government has been the United
States Steel corporation. The head
quarters of one of it's most important
subsidiary companies is in Rirmfng-
ham. The the extent of its ability, or
its opportunity, another company with
Birmingham headquarters. has dis
played patriotism to an equal degree.
That is the Alabama Power company.
1t would be impossible to relate all
that official record holds to the credit
of the Steel corporation. It's most re-
cent undertaking is typical of it's ca
reer since the beginning of the war.
and will serve to state its case. The
corporation has agreed to construct and
operate government plant for the
manufacture in great quantities of
guns, shells and other munitions of
war.
The corporation will supervise the
construction and operate the plant with
its own labor and its experts, and pro-
vide an efficiency or executive board
of nine members from it's own direc-
torate.
NO PROFIT POSSIBLE

gagged in government work. will go

tive officers, men who have amassed

"coMEDIAN MUST MAKE
AUDIENCES LAUGli"-JOLSON
Nobody Really Wants to Laugh, Says
Comedian

Nobody Really Wants to Laugh, Says
Comedian.
Nobody really wants to laugh"
says Al Jolson, the comedian, in an
article in the Green Book. People
don't so to the theater for the purpose
of laughing; they pay to see if some
one can MAKE them laugh. Smiles,
grins, gurgles, chuckles, and then the
last in the order entertainment, large,
open-faced laughter, have to be pried
out of the gentle public with the deli
cacy of surgeon removing vermi-
form appendix, or jimmied out of as
burglar flips off safe-lock-ac-
cording to the brand of humor you are
using.
"Why, as matter of psychological
fact, woman would much rather
weep than laugh! Remembering that,
consider what comedian faces on
matinee days, with an audience of
women who have paid two dollars or
so each-enough for every one of them
to have purchased oodles of face
creams and hair-puffs!
zone audience will laugh itself into
jelly at you and with you and for
you; another audience, perhaps on the
next night,-one made up of the same
classes Of people-will set their jaws,
fold their arms and look at you as if
they are saying: Come on, now, and
see if you can make me laugh Uf
there is anything that hypnotizes
comedian into sound dormancy, it is
few people with folded arms)
''If the day is hot, you can't wiring
out a laugh with steam roller; il
the theater is cold, you can't heat up
an audience with the best hot-fire
comedy ever written. At one perform
ance the entire audience will hee-haw
at every insane or inane word or ac-
ton; at another it will get only the
comedy tidbits;, at another you have
TO hit them right in the nose with ev-
cry line to stir them up. And they
are the same sort of people.
"When comedian goes on the
stage. his first labor is to make the
audience like him. Next in the
order Of things, he must get them
ready to laugh. Third, he must
find what they want to laugh about
what is their particular mood. And
last, he must make them laugh.
