what some one said to US the other
day: When we come down from Har-
lem to see how the people on Broadway
act, all we see are other people from
Harlem who came down to see how
people on Broadway act"
The Waldorf Astoria has Installed
complets soda water fountain in the
roof garden. They are prepared to
serve banana cocktails, raspberry rick
eys, ginger-fzzes. chocolate highbails
and 'dry Manhattan" punches.
Peggy Tears is dancing on the roof
of the Hotel Majestic, though mighty
little of her dancing has b~en dine
there in the last two weeks. But Miss
Peggy does not believe in tears, idle
tears. So when it rains she just takes
her guests down to the grill, and thus
was ST. Swithin frustrated.
Thomas Healy's Garden Glades, up
at Sixty-sixth Street, is still going
strong. Elsie and Paulsen, Cathleen
Pope, Judels and Peterson, Margot and
Davis, and the famous Octette are on
the ice, and "on the carpet" are Helen
Hardick, Yvonne Darle, Swami Wood.
Harry Francis, Herbert and Dare,
George Davis and a beauty chorus.
Patrons who desire may join the ice
festivities.
"A bit of Old Rome transplanted to
New York." delightfully."- exclaimed a
charming signora on the occasion of
her first visit to Murray's Roman
Gardens, in West Forty-second Street.
'The blue-green lights, the ~onderful
paintings, the gondola, the blue sky
dotted with twinkling stars, all re-
mind me of our dear home in beauti-
full Rome. And the dance floor is like
a lake, so smooth, and it 'revolves.'
How queer! Permit me to 'revolve,'
yes?" SO this beautiful signora was
permitted to revolve to her hearts
content.
Some one told US the other day that
two drinks at the Moulin Rouge cost
him s1.9O. well, what of it," we
answered. Think of the overhead ex-
penses The Moulin Rouge is right
underneath the Palais Royal" Which.
we think, is quite funny, if we do say
it, as shouldn't
We had luncheon with James Cor
bett the other day, and he told US that
the beer at the Hotel Shelburne at
Brighton, was the best he ever tasted.
1--WE do not like beer" we answered
with our best "always a-lady' manner.
''You would like this beer" he az
swered. So the next time we go down
there we are going to see what kind
of beer judge he is. The Shelburne
is the hotel where Lieutenant Tim
Brymn and his Black Devil jazz band
are playing.

ADVANCE IN WAGES
 IN BRISTOL SHOPS
Practically All Started First of the Week With Increased Pay
 in All Departments.

Bristol, July 11.-About every factory in this place started up Monday morn ing with an advance i'll wages of not less than 10 per cent. and in some cases more than that.
 Most of the mills have adopted a 48- hour basic week, with pay at the rate of one and one-half times per hour for every hour worked over the AS in each week. As several shops will work 45 hours the same as they do now, the men will get pay for 1OH hours for the extra seven over basic time that will be worked. One of the big shops that has granted a 10 per cent. increase, figures out that 1t will mean a 17 per cent. increase in the amount of money in the pay envelope each week for all who work the full hours. As practically all the big shops in the city have made the increase, it can be figured, that seven-eighths of all hands employed in shops in this city will start the last half of the year with the increase noted above. While there may have been a minimum amount of discomfort ill some shops, there was no open manifestation that men and women were dissatisfied with wages. Bristol shops are still family concerns largely and owned and operated by men who live here, and who have vital interest in their city and in their help also.

YANKEES GO WITH POLES.
Three Y. M. c. A. Secretaries With Legion of American Poles on
 Way to Native Land. -

Paris.-When the Polish Legion, 30,00O strong, recently left Paris to fight for liberty on it's native soil, three New England Yankees, Harry L. Olmstead, Danbury, Conn, Thomas F. Russell, Springfield, Mass, and Eric Kelly, Melrose, Mass, accompanied Gen. Haller, commander of the legion, and his staff, as secretaries of the Y. M. c. A.
 These fighting Polish patriots, in their horizon blue uniforms, wearing the square tam-o'-shanter and the white eagle on a red patch on their collars, are in 40 cases out of 100 Am erican citizens, and 80 percent of them speak English, while the 60 percent who have not been fully naturalized hold their first papers for American citizenship.
 Last month when their commander, Gen. Haller, left Paris for his native land, accompanied by his staff, another link binding Poland to the western world was forged. The General and his party formed the advance guard of the two divisions of Poles, 30,0OO in all.

As usual an entire change of bill comes to the Palace on Thursday. One of the strong vaudeville attractions is Sylvia Jason and William Haig in The Book of Vaudeville" The principals of this offering are we'll and most favor ably known in vaudeville; Miss Jason as former partner of Harry Tighe, and one of the stages brightest dancing lngenues; MT. Haig was with Christie Macdonald. "The Book of Naudc vile" is bright, entertaining idea mag nlfcently mounted and beautifully cos tuned.
 Lulu Coates and her Three Cracker jacks is another number coming to the PaIace Oh this bill that supplies tFe new show with another indication of excel 1ence. This act delivers a me1ange of singing, dancing and acrobatics
 Direct from the fighting front in France back to their own beloved vaude- vile come Lehr, Edmundson and Marr known as "The Boys From Over There" The act has been apt1y de- scribed as a raid of dancing with it's ad- vanced helped along by a barrage of song. The boys are full of real soldier pep" and their offering has a knack of going over with bang.
 Mystery surrounds "The Girl From Milwaukee," but there is no mystery in her powerful contralto voice. Her roper toire of songs is beautiful in compost lion and rendition. This handsome young woman presents one of ,he finest singing acts behind the foot!ights of vaudeville.
 Fred and Minita Brad are at the head of the class i'll the new school of ath- 1etic acting They deliver for vaude- vile consumption a comic mixture of skilled glad capers which is great laugh making prescription.

only the French know how, a fish cooked to a delicious brown crisp
 ness, American roast beef, potatoes and vegetables, and apple pie or cake or ice cream or all of them for dessert And not French iodine, but a little real American coffee-coffee without
 ch1cory in France! It reads like a fairy tale.
 So early in the morning George with about thirty other doughboys fresh from an all too intimate contact with
 France at her worst, the France of mud and no bathtubs, pile aboard a sightseeing bus and ride for three hours around those squares and boule. wards where every building is historic and whose every cobbIestone could tell a story of fascinating interest. The sights and scenes are explained by
 "" secretary who has gone into special training school for Paris Guides and listened to lectures on Paris art, sculpture, kings and build. ings, revolutions and monuments be- fore mounting the front seat of the motor bus to retail this concentrated knowledge megaphonically to the wis, iting doughboys.
 And George, gulping his last cup oi coffee and cleaning up his third egg sandwich. confides to the Y. M. c. A. girl who has been waiting on him: ''This is some city, some swell city. wouldn't have believed that France could have such a place. I'd like to stay here a month, but, darn the luck, it's back to the mudhOles for me- don't care if never see France again but Oh Gee, this Paris-j1st lead me to it!"

METHODIST BISHOPS
 ON LABOR QUESTION
For Equitable Wage, Collective Bargaining, Profit Sharing and
 Executive Positions.

The bishops of the Methodist Episco- pal church, assembled in regular ses- sion, call upon the ministers and lay men of the church to give most earnest heed to the application of Christian principles to social reconstruction. It IS increasingly manifest that there must be progress away from selfish competi- tion tc unselhsh cooperation in that struggle for dan <. which is he largest single fact in the life of the maj jority of men in any conlrnu' ity. If this progress is to be orderly and not violent we must leave behind us the evils which lead to deplorable violence or counter violence by either party IT Christianity Is driving force, making for democracy, we cannot put a limit upon the extension of democracy: we must recognize the inevltability of the epplication of democracy to industry. While we rejoice in the adoption of all such ameliorative measures as better housing md various forms of social in- surance, we call for the more thorough going emphasis on human freedom, which will make democratic progress mean the enlargement and enrichment of the life of the masses of mankind through the self-dir ective activity of men themselves.
 We favor an equitable wage for la borers, which shall have the right of way over rent, interest and profits.
 We favor collective bargaining, as an instrument for the attainment of indus trial justice and for training in demo- cratic procedure.
 And we also favor advance of the workers themselves through profit shar- ing and through positions on boards of directorship.
 In the discussion of all such matters we urge all individuals and groups to hold fast the tolerance which comes out of mutual respect and to keep always i'll mind that the richest source of sound social ideallsm is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
 Adopted by the Board of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church, Buff falo, N. Y., May 10, 1919.

"NO MORE FARM FOR N|NE "
So Says Many Doughboy After Seeing Paris
 as Guest of the "Y''

Paris, (By maiD-George Brown, a private in General Pershing's we'll known army, is to have the privilege of seeing Paris. Fresh from a camp or some muddy French village where he has been biIleted with French COWS, goats and chickens in some pictur- esque but highly unsanitary French cottage, and with a background of his tory and art gained in the Hillsdale High School or the Atkinson Academy, what chance has George of making the most of his three days and bringing back a correct impression of the cap ital of the Universe?
 But George Brown isn't left to his own devices. He and the hundreds of others like him have hardly time to let slip the inevitable, impudent and bitingly sarcastic, "So this is Paris, v before they are caught up in one of the most comprehensive, concentrated, systematic and inclusive schemes of personally conducted, economical and rapid-fire sightseeing ever devised. He sees Paris under American auspices at a price that would make tourist agency patron green with envy and at a speed that causes the pre-war trav- eler to raise dubious eyebrow when he hears of it.
 Since Paris was opened as leave area on February 1 there are between 800 and 900 George Browns arriving daily, to say nothing of from 400 to 500 officers, for this three days leave. This means that there are 4,OOO strangers" in> Paris every day, anx- ious not to waste minute before they return to military duty.
 ''Y' men meet every incoming train at all seven of the stations and as George alights he is helped into truck or a Ford car with his blanket roll or musette and dropped at the Hotel du Pavilion along with score or a hundred of his fellows in other camions and the great three-day bat tie of Paris is on.
 The hotel, which was opened by the "Y'' in September, 1917, contains 191 rooms but by stretching itself can ac- commodate in separate beds 52O men each night. Of course, there will on these occasions be few cots dropped around in the halls and a man on every cot.
 And eats! George hasn't been wor- rying about board bills since he joined the army Now he must face that item. He finds breakfast consisting of eggs, any style, coffee, the inevitable but de licious confiture and good French rolls, sets him back only fifty-1ve cents. Luncheon, which according to the French conception is three course meal, with meat and vegetables, costs less than 65 cents. And, Oh Boy, there are white table cloths, and crystal glasses and clean napkins, none of your dirty mess kits to be washed in still dirtier dish water! No wonder the Y. M. c. A. has lost lots of money in it's hotel business. For dinner, at less than 75 cents, George has soup, thick potage or clear bouIlion made as

ANCIENTS ADVISED
 OCCASIONAL DEBAUCH
Saturnalia Ordained and Periods of Official Sprees Said to Be
 Superior to Coming Dry Rot.

Mrs. Marion Cox has written and Brentano's have published "The Dry Rot of Society" "The Dry Rot of So- ciety" is psychological examination of the prohibition craze. Alcohol, occas ional excess, is root-need of the ku- man being. It is one of his excuses for not committing suicide. It is the ir- stinct to see the world and ourselves topsy-turvy every once i'll while. It IS a means of letting off steam" of giving the ape and the angel in us a breath of air. Reality has no kick III it He is dead beyond all resurrection who hath not been fool, and he IS sti1l-born who does not love to be fool occasionally and grin at himself n the mirror of his absurd seriousness.
 The ancientS were wise. Rome had so many restrictions that hemmed i'll the activities of her citizens that Seneca recommended an occasional debauch for all lawmakers and citizens. The Satur- nalia was ordained, periods of official sprees when eevrybody tore up his in come tax blank and put dunce cap on the mayor. If you want to keep people from guillotiring let them get drunk every little while and imagine they are kings, mayors, spendthr1tts and lawmakers for a day.
 These were ''holy days for the un- holiness of the people," Our own stald William James advised moral holi- day" for everybody in order to keep the balances. Herbert Spencer tells us somewhere to "upset the equilibrium" on stated occasions.
 Says Mrs. Cox: "The drunl1ard drinks with a mystic hankering that makes his toast like an unutterable prayer that he may feel one with the gods for one glorious moment of their sun soaked eternity. He drinks to escape himself and the sober, stone-eyed world which has hitched all his little stars to a treadmill, peticoat or a blow" All the tragedies of history were invented in the brains of sober people"

THE PALACE.

Dorothy Phillips, whose triumph scored in Hearts of Humanity" placed her among the foremost and most popu- lar stars of the silent drama, comes to the Palace on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday i'll Destiny"
 Destiny" with characters that are human, story that is comprehensive and logical and picture that has been given every advantage offered by ideas of modern screen production is a screen drama that gets beneath the skin and touches real flesh and blood.
 It deals with the ambitions of farm youth who dreams of lording it in the financial world 'out there" The pages of this book of might-have-been are turned 10 years forward; the youth is seen as a man with his dreams fulfill ed. He becomes a Napoleon of finance but loses his soul He breaks up the romance of his, sister with her lover and brings down tragedy upon his house. The chapter of the fairy book is turned back, however, and we are shown the boy conqueror, having scorned the call of the city, tilllng the soil where his sisters romance is happily consum- mated
 Dorothy Phillips in Destiny" is sim ply another grand, good picture to be accredited to the known ability and art of this magnetic star. It will surely go down ill the memories of Palace patrons as one of the most pleasing and touch ing stories that has been flashed on the screen of the big and popular theater.
 One very notable booking of vaude- vile Is that Of Sammy Berk and charm ing "Valda'' duo known in variety as "Creators of Snappy Steps," This team ranges alongside the very best dancers of the present day, their work. being of a most refined order that sparkles with originality and c1everness
 Another number on the bill for the first three days of the week that has a rare vaudeville value Is the presence of the we'll known character singing come dian Billy Glason. His characterizations of the songs of the day are little gems of character songs. Glason $ one of the best bets that the vaudeville man agers have on their booking lists.
 In "The Man Hunt. the bill has one of the most unusual sketch ideas that has been introduced on the vaudeville stage. The :itle may suggest something a bit heavy or dramatic but there is nothing like it in this bubbling comedy sleit. Its cast of five people lead their audience through merry comedy chase that mounts to a Quarter-of -an-hOur of keen enjoyment
 Miller and Mack, pair of steppers who label their act, ,"The Bing Boys" and who have danced their way into the good graces of the American the ater going public, and Page and Green in Falls and Falls" are two more acts guaranteed to do their share towards putting over a typical Palace vaudeville bill for Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day.
