Gene Green and Singing
Girl Band at Orpheunp
Local FGUOrites PreUdH on Bill for Comma
Week Which Looks Good on Paper.

Headlned by three breezy acts with
more than the ordinary appeal. the bill
at the orpheum next week Will be an
suspicious one, inasmuch as the per-
sonnet Of the weeks entertainment ann
braces the names OF several Memphis
IaNorltes. The stellar honors will be
divided between Gene Green. well
SHOWN here; Ralph Dunbar's Grenadier
Girls, "A Singing Band" and Regina
Connelli and William i. Gibson IN a a
comedy playlet, Their Honeymoon. :"
Gene Green is possibly one of the big.
gest local favorites that play Memphis
as he is well known here professionally
and socially.
He is past master at putting over
songs, being the possessor OF big
singing voice and most of his songs
are rendered in dialect and when il
comes, to telling a good story Gene is
In a class by himself.
All OPPORTUNITIES win recall last sea
son when he played here and in the
vernacuar Of the stage he stopped the
snow at every performance. This year
ne mas brand new lot of songs and
stories. He will be assisted at the
piano by Phil Cohen.
Ralph Dunbar's Grenadier Girls are
q sort OF feminine edition of Mr.. Dun
oar's White Hussars. In this case the
singing band is girl organization. Mr..
Dunbar has gathered together nine
young women of vocal and instrumental
abilities and with them has formed
what is said to be the only ladies'
singing band in this country. The act
Is presented in military manner
To the theater-going public the name
Ralph Dunbar means much, as he has
sponsored some Of the biggest instru-
mental and singing organization having
prayed In vaudeville, and his present
offering, the Grenadier Girls, Is said
to be one of the best acts that he has
put out, as each Of the young ladies is
an artist
One Of the real laughing hits of the
present vaudeville season is Their
Honeymoon" featuring william l..
Gibson and Regina Connelli Miss Con-
nelli will be remembered for her ap-
pearance here two seasons ago in
"Moondown." She has also been the
star in many big road productions, hav-
ing appeared as the lead in "A Pair of
Queens" The Girl Of Tomorrow" and
The Fortune Hunter" William l..
Gibson is equally we'll known, as he,
too, has been featured In many Broad
way productions, and last season APP
peared In the leading male role OF the
Lincoln Highwayman.
Jack Clifford and Miriam Willis are
creative vaudevillians. They have Gre
ated "At Jasper Junction. and as a
much of type that it seems at some
time or other he must have lived in

ROCKING the Industrial Boat.

Suit brought by the Waterloo Gasoline En-
CINE company against the Machinists' union
for 100000 for breach of contract, thereby
reopening the questions involved in the Dan
bury Hatters' case, is especially unfortunate
at this time. 1t appears that the company is
resisting the unionizing of its shops, which
places it in bad light in the eyes OF friends
of labor, since the right of collective bargain
ing is being so generally conceded.
People who work with their hands have no
right to set up a dictatorship to the injury of
the business of their employers, but they are
entirely within their rights in uniting to secure
a fair hearing and for advancement of their
own interests. The man who invests his time
and effort and who wears out his body in the
service of an established concern has some
thing more coming to him in the way of
consideration than the contents Of his pay
envelope represent.
So generally is this principle recognized
nowadays that an exception like that presented
at Waterloo tends to create i'll feeling out of
proportion to the number of persons actually
involved. This is a poor time to do anything
which will tend to aggravate situation which
is already assuming a critical aspect

Pain in the FOrefOOt.

With our Unsuitable fondness for
frightful names, we call pain in
the forefoot metatarsalgia, or, to
add to confusion, Morton's toe
Doctors are queer people. If young
Johnnie has a pain in his tummy
he says so, but the doctor pulls a
long face and terms it gastralgia-
which makes it more serious and
perhaps more costly than stomach
ache unadorned.
Well. this metatarsalgia is a
fierce little pain while it lasts. 1t
has a mean way of coming on sud
denly while milady is On the stree,
all dressed up to kill. and often it
is so severe that milady simply has
to sit down on a horse block or
doorstep and off with the pinchfoot
shoe in order to find surcease. Yet
she will solemnly declare that her
shoes fit her feet and are large
enough. The trouble occurs occa-
sionally in the masculine foot, espe-
cially when the alleged male person
affects the pretty toothpick lasts
so popular just now with our love-
lest young cigaret and collar
models.
Nonuse of the forefoot muscles,
due to the immobilization enforced
by freak shoes, naturally weakens
the muscles, and the result is sag
ging or falling of the transverse
arch. The pain is assumed to be
caused by pressure upon nerves
between the heads of the sagging
metatarSal bones.
Put your arm in a tight splint
and the muscles will become so
weak you can scarcely use the arm.
Put on a comfortably fitted corset
and your abdominal, back and hip
muscles will grow weak and fabby
and you will find yourself in due
course giving a fair imitation of
bag tied in the middle. Put your
foot in a shoe made to please the
shoe merchants notions of style
and you will presently have sundry
little annoyances to occupy all your
spare moments.
Once the transverse arch has
been destroyed by slavish adher-
ence to shoe store suggestion. you
must not imagine thatl relief Will
follow Immediately after a rever-
sion to sane shoes. No, the painful
seizures may come just the same

BY TEMPLE

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a
girl in love with a young man six
years my senior
Whenever l meet him, he always
speaks and smiles at me. Do you
think he wants to fiirt with me? A
girl told me he wanted 10 keep
company with me. Do you really
think he cares for me?
Should I write to him or wait for
him to write to me?
I love the young man with all
my heart and am Grassy to go with
him. CUTIE.
The young man probably has a
friendly nature and greets you with
a smile as he does every one else.
Your girl friend exaggerates. be-
cause if he really wanted to go
with you, he would make his wish
known to you.
Do not write to him first or
show in any way that you are eager
for his attentions. Remember it
is bad form for a girl TO seek a
man. Do not permit your thoughts
to dwell upon your love for the
young man; there are so many real
things in life worth thinking about
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am 16
years old and have gone with a
boy of and on for two years. I
have never told anybody how much
really care for him, but it seems
when l am near him or alone l just
feel as if I would do anything that
is right for him. Nobody knows
how l feel toward him.
He has been a gentleman to me
ever since l have known him. Do
you think il would be right for me
to keep going with him, or do you
think / am too young to go with
boys? BONNIE BLUE EYES.
You are really too young to go
with the boys. Since your parents
have permitted it so far. however,
I think it would be all right for
you TO keep up your friendship
with this young man if you do not

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
AZ a XnEnan Reads

AS you claim catarrh or coryza to
be constitutional disease. will you
kindly publish a mode of living and
diet which would be best for one
afflicted with catarrh? MRS. A. T.
Answer haTe never made such
an assertion. l have repeatedly
stated that there is no such dis
ease or condition as "catarrh"; that
the term is loosely applied to any
disease condition in the nose or
throat. Coryza is the proper name
for an infectious sdise G9e. which
some people still call cold in the
head" The reason it is called
cold" is because a common early
symptom in this as in other infec-
tions, such as erysipelas, blood poi
soning (septicemia), pneumonia,
malaria. ETC., is chilliness.
Bathing Temperature.
Are cold baths generally invigor-
years of age? Are they advisable
for one with high blood pressure?
Will cold baths prevent neurasthe-
MIA, and how 40 you take them?
S. G. B.
Answer-If you enjoy taking a
cold bath, irrespective of age, it is
all right, perhaps even inVigorat-
ing. Depends on what may be the
cause of the high blood pressure,
which is a result of various dis
eases. Cold baths will not prevent
neurasthenia. I take them vicari-
ously, if at all. l think lot of my
nice warm skin.

Repeated reports that Secretary Lansing,
General Bliss and Henry White united in a
protest to the president against the Shantung
award were quite effectively disposed of yes
terday in the testimony of the head of the de-
Dartment OF state before the senate committee.
A letter was written in response to a request
by the president for the opinions of the other
members of the delegation. Il was prepared
by General Bliss and the other two concurred
in it. 1t was not in the nature of protest
Mr. Lansing said, and if the senate wishes to
have copy it must be obtained from the pres
ident, who now has the only one in existence
in his possession.
