There is one thing that Harold Lloyd
never will be-that is 30 shevik. He
doesn't like bombs any more.
II happened like this. In one of his
comedies Lloyd-you always feel like
calling him Harold after knowing him
for half hour-had to use bomb. 1t
was to be used the same way some
comedians use custard pies. only Lloyd
would scorn such primitive means of
bringing laughter to rock his specta-
tors. He is strictly up to date, there
tore he decided to use bomb.
But, if not so futuristic, how much
more reliable is the custard pie! If
ever we become a comedian we shall
stick to the pie in preference to the
later and more "up-to-the- minute"
bomb. The bomb needs to be timed;
he custard pie doesn't. Lloyd had too
great confidence in the one which he
was about to hurl, and it turned on him.
However" he said cheerfullv, as he
steadied his grapefruit with his right
elbow and jabbed at it with a spoon
held in his left hand. "this cloud had a
particularly fine lining. couldn't
work, so had a chance to come to
New York on vacation. I thought
that l could recuperate here as we'll as

Here the waiter came up to the table
with note addressed to Mr.. Lloyd.
It was folded up so tightly that he
asked us to open it and read it to him.

A world avid of moral lessons in
success would be disturbed over the
hndlngs in the case Of Salisbury Field,
whose play, "W edding Bells" has es-
tablished a clear title to a long run at
the Harris Theater. BY his own con-

tues that are popularity supposed to be
indispensable to success would be low

and dignified way Mr.. Field boosts
for his native city. He could not re-

His adventures in journalism were
not precisely brilliant. They began
on "The San Francisco Examiner" He
found difficulty in writing news in
the conventional form. He would re
turn to the office with his story, sii
down before his typewriter and then
everything but the writing of the story
to him. He was detailed to police
court, and there were long interva OF
waiting about in the reporters room
with nothing to do. 1t is wrench te
have to report that MIR. Field was not
above guile. The rule of the Office was
that news which broke before IL O'Clock
had to be written by the reporter; news
that broke after IL o'clock might be
teiephoned in. News invariably broke
for Mr.. Fields after IL o'clock. which
relieved him of the necessity of writ
ing, and he employed his ample leisure
in idly sketchng and making verses
These went the rounds of the office
and one day he received a sharp sum

papers. His signature to these was
Childe Harold, and these within sical anC

became famous throughout the country

tons.
Mr.. Field never had really whole
hearted passion for work Indeed. he
expended a regrettable amount of in.
genuity in finding ways of doing a:
title work as possible. And by the
natural order Of things the less work
he did the more money he seemed te
make. That left him time for a good
deal of travel. After summer il
England, spent with the Favershams
he was inspired to write a play. HI
offered it to Henry Miller and to {
few other producers, and he says he is
grateful to all of them for having re
fused it.

of the leading treatises in England
on International Law. In period
when a large part of the world is
fighting for the preservation of the
principles of international law, it is
interesting to emphasize Open
helms theory that notwithstanding
the lack of present central inter
national authority for its enforce
ment, there is common consent OF
the community of States that the
rules of international conduct shall
be enforced by external power. Al
though his treatise was first pub
lished in 1905, the following trench
ant statement seems to have been
written with present conditions in
mind: "Self-help and intervention
on the part of other States which
sympathize with the wronged one,
are the means by which the rules OF
the Law of Nations can be and ac-
tually are enforced" (II., p. 13.)

Lord Pirbright's Brilliant Career.


Turning again from pure interna-
tional law to the field of diplomacy,
our attention is directed to the bril-
liant career of Henry de Worms,
Baron Pirbright (l840-l9O3). He
was an able parliamentarian and
early distinguished himself for his
knowledge of imperial policies. He
became member of the Privy Coun-
Gil and served as Under Secretary
of State for the Colonies from 1888
to 1892. His best known writings
are "England's Policy in the East"
1876 and "The Austro-Hungarian
Empire and England's Policy in the
East (1S77). When the Berlin
Congress met, he was President of
the Anglo Jewish Association. His
thorough knowledge of the Eastern
Question served to maintain the
support of the Conservative Party
for Jewish liberties in the Balkans.

France.
