THE ENGLISH WHO LAUGH
Our Anglo Saxon Brothers Have
Sense of Humor, SAYS Abe Potash

Jules Jordan. who has played Abe
Potash roles in London. says the Eng
lish people have sense of humor. Mr..
Jordan recently returned to this coun
try after n year in England.
The only difference between an
American audience and an English
audience is that Americans want their
humor subtle and quiet while in Eng
land the comedian must work harder
aud emphasize with more punch every
line intended for laughs, he says.
But they can laugh over there and
they appreciate American humor de
spite current opinion.
Mr.. Jordan comes to Phlade phia

The Nurseru
Feeding the Child.

Many children are always teasing for articles of food which they ought not to have. The reason is that they have been badly brought up and have been given tastes" of things. Conse- quently they do not see why they should not have taste of everything and eat everything. The child that has been properly reared and has nev- CT been given a taste of anything ex- cept of its own food does not expect to have anything else to eat and will therefore never ask for other food. He will be perfectly contented with his own food, and it will never occur to him that he can eat anything else.
 On this account it is bad for child to begin to sit at the family table too early, the parents being too soft heart ed or weak minded to resist their chill dren's requests. In any case a young child should eat its supper alone The child will not be dissatisfied with a routine diet provided it has never had anything else.

would not anyhow let the foolishness of the whites interfere with their re- ligious ceremonies and in that they seemed to have the sanction of the United States constitution, though they did not really need it.
 The Papagos have a fiesta every year. The rites prescribe that it shall be closed with drunk; just mod crate drunk, though. The liquor used is a kind of wine made from the beau tiful red fruit that grows on top of the giant cactus. Usually only enough wine is made for a decent tribal jag. The rites require that all of the wine shall be drunk dur ing the closing night That is an ob- viously wise provision.
 This year they made entirely too much wine and that was the miscal- culation to which reference has been made. But the rite was complied with; not drop remained the morn ing after the closing night And in the morning and long into the next day the landscape for miles and miles was dotted with prostrate Pa, pagos. The only animate human be- ing was the trader at the central will lage. As he looked over the scene of desolation he was never before so lonely. It was as if the human race had vanished all but him. He was inclined to throw up his pob with all the opportunities it offered for profiteering.
 The Indians lay thickest about the trading post in the immediate vicinity of the automobile of the trader. They had removed the cushions to the ground and were using them for head fests, their legs radiating to all points of the compass like the rays of the Japanese flag or the state flag of Arizona. Every inch of space on the cushions was occupied by a swelled head or one that later would be swollen.
 The snoring in the vicinity was stertorous and tumultous. Farther on in the distance here and there was the outstretched body of a sleep ing Indian. The place was dotted with them thinner, as far as the amaz- ed gaze of the trader reached.
 The man is going to close out his business now and visit the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls so that he can say that he has seen all the gi- gantic things in America worth see ing tEff

GREATEST DRUNK IN HISTORY IF
 ALCOHOLISM STAGED BY PAPAGOS

What is said to have been the biggest drunk, the most comprehen- sive jag in the history of alcoholism in the United States has just been pulled off in the Papago country in Arizona. The whole tribe was lit up. That was probably what gave the impression of the northern lights or the Aurora Borealis a few days ago. But it was only a drunk and the extraordinary dimensions of it was due to a miscalculation techni- cally called a miscue. The drunk it. self was preordained. It had it's roots in religion and superstition. It was an annual rite. It will be repeated 2 in spite of all the prohibition legisla- ton in Arizona.
 The drunk happened and consider ing the size of it and all the circum stances, the use of ''happened' is ad- vised, on the Papago reservation, at one of the central villages about 40 miles south of Casa Grande That vast stretch of country IS a terra incognita. It is the only frontier left in the United States. It abounds in mystery. Those who stay there a short time are overcome by nervous ness which soon gives place to dread which becomes more and more defi- nite and dread ripens into a panic and a getaway.
 There are strange things there; for instance, cave whose walls are cov- cred with hieroglyphics unlike any other seen in North America. There are many skeletons there in strange dresses. There is one, that of wo- man with long yellow hair The In- dians say their fathers and their fa- thersl know no more about these peo- pie than they do themselves; the heir oglphics and the skeletons were there generations ago. Ethnologists have found resemblance of the skulls in that cave to those of east ern Asiatics
 But nothing herein has anything to. do with the big drunk which re- gently marred the reign of Arizona law and wartime prohibition. Per haps the Pagados did not know about the Arizona law. If they had ever heard of the war and wartime pro- hibition that they might have had reason to suppose that the war was over, that the army had been demo- bilized. But perhaps they did not care tinkers continental. They

forced. Decisions against employees could not. Such is the case. for that matter, in Great Britain, since the passage of the trade disputes act of 1906 made it impossible to get any satisfaction from the trade unions by damages or in tort.
 The industrial arbitration act failing, Wage Boards of employers and employees, with an impartial chairman, were tried. According to Sir Charles, the union men would take all that the boards could be persuaded to give them and then strike to force the dispute and grant their demands. "The penalty imposed for firmness on the part of the government was severe" says Sir Charles. Strikes were numerous. The law was scorned and the peace broken. What can you expect when govern ment caters to class?
 The result of government inter- vention in labor disputes in New South Wales tell us what was to be expected of the government essays in various industries. Fpam 1911 to 1917 there were sixteen of these They must have been on 9 small scale, for the government seems to have been only some s$100,000 out of pocket by them; but the causes of the failure are significant. The management was incompetent, be- cause, though the managers were efficient, political influence was continually going over their heads. Unfit men were, foisted upon the various establishments. It was useless to discharge them, because they were sure to be brought back by the politicians. Discipline broke down. Cost increased. Strikes occurred as in private concerns. Experience shows" writes Sir Charles, that if a strike takes place in a government establish ment, ministerial intervention is en- forced and a concession made to the strikers The government posi- tion is always difficult. If the ministry resists the demands, votes may be imperiled; if they yield, dis cipline may be threatened. Where the state is the largest employer of labor and the franchise is adult, any action of the government whic
 displeases the employe might be resisted not only through the

Helpful Thoughts
By HELEN RAINFoRTH.
Useless ouarreIs.

useless QudrreIS.
 All quarrels are useless, but some are more useless than others. It is easy to start quarrel and often hard to end it. No benefit to anyone is de rived from the exchange of heated words, and there are many distinct disadvantages. Many hOmicides start ed with quarrel over a trifling incl dent and even where the end is not so tragic the harm done is quite definite.
 The habit of quarreling is one that grows. It Is comparatively easy to reach the stage where the most innO- cent remark can serve as a basis for sharp words that will lead to- still sharper words, and thus all tempers will be rufied. And a distinct injury is done when one loses ones temper. It is a nervous shock that uses up en- ergy more rapidly than physical or mental exertion.
 If everyone realized that a quarrel demands its price and that the price must be paid there would be less quar- reling Harsh words can injure the same as blows. Courts have held that an assault can be verbal as well as physical. Speak grossly to a dog and see the sensitive creature cringe. Can there be any doubt that the dog has suffered? Isn't 1t certain that what will hurt dog will hurt human being?
 When tempted to use words that will hurt ask yourself "What's the use?" What good will 1t do you or anyone else to say something that Is merely smart or that seems clever? One seldom makes a mistake in re- maining silent, and when the alterna- tive Is to say something that Is intend ed to rufIle the feelings of another then it is always best to say nothing.
 The habit of snarling. of fault find ing, of complaining about trivialities, is one of easy growth, and many per sons who have it are absolutely un- aware of their affiiction, for 1t Is an affiiction, not only to themselves, but to all their associates. If you have the habit resolve to drop it, and begin at once. Think before you speak, and if what you are about to say might do harm and can't possibly do good don't speak.

NATURALIZATION ''ALAP[IINB"
 PROVES FAILURE ANT|P0DES

Under the head of Naturalization | Fails" the New York Times of Aug. 22nd editorially speaks at length re- garding the trial given 'nationaliza- | tion" in New Zealand and Australia It seems certain union-dominated ! English newspapers were backing the program of the English miners who a la Plumb, were seeking control of England's mining industry, but when the coal commissioner began hearings on the question and called expert wit ! nesses to describe the effects of ma tionalizationp in the Antipodes these papers did the ostrich act. The editorial follows:
 Scant space was given by those English newspapers which, with lear to the ground" were eager to make a case for the nationaliZa- ton of coal mines, then erroneous ly supposed to be popular, to the testimony of a witness before the coal commission in regard to na- tionalization in New Zealand and Australia It was shown that in dustries there nationalized were made inefficient by that political control which is inevitable to na- tionalization. The workmen had no reason to be industrious. They manifested no energy. They didn't have to. They lost the power of initiative Jobs crept into the management. The government was in permanent state of gooseflesh. When a decision was absolutely necessary it didn't dare to make it.
 In his book on Australian ''Pro- blems and Prospects" Sir Charles G. Wade, agent general for New South Wales and sometimes it's prime minister, gives first hand Ievidence to the same effect. It might has been supposed that the working of the famous, or once fa- nous, Industrial Arbitration act in that state would have been suffi-
 ciently instructive as to the result of labor in politics and the govern
 ment bedeviled by labor. The court established to compose labor con- troversies under the act held that
 union laborers must be preferred by it to non-union laborers. Of course, the non-union men swarm
 ed into the unions, and the unions forced their members to vote the labor party ticket. Decisions

are worth remembering. Never use a sharp-pointed article when cleaning the nails. Cutting should be done with a nail sciSSorS-not a knife-every ten days or so. In washing the hands a soft brush is the best to use.
 Sometimes the hands become rough or red from housework or outdoor use In that case they may be sOftened and whitened by using paste made as follows
 White wax (pure) ounces
 Oil of sweet al
 monds 4 ounces
 Otto of roses 6 drops
 Mix the wax and oil of almonds thoroughly, pounding in mortar; then add the otto of roses, drop by drop. Spread small quantity Of this paste evenly on the inside of an. cid pair of white kid gloves after perfo- rating the palms in q dozen or more places Wear the gloves occasionally at night and they will do wonders in, making the hands white and dainty
 Young girls and delicate women are often annoyed by abnormal perspira- ton of the hands which are moist and clammy. A simple remedy is to bathe them several times a day with the fol lowing lotion:

 In addition, powdered orris root or violet talcum powder will be found helpful, or the following powder may be used:

PLANT PEoNIEs NOW
 FOR NEXT SUMMER.

Nothing dresses up" garden like gorgeous peohies, and the best of peo- nies is that once started they grow handsomer each year and require very little attention except for digging around the roots occasionally and cut ting back to the ground when autumn comes. This is the time 10 plant a hedge of peonies. or even two or three single plants. Peonies planted now will blossom next year and still more abundantly the year after, each year increasing in beauty as the plants grow and flourish. If you wait until spring to plant your peonies you will have only green leaves until the sec ond season comes around.
 Even without their gorgeous blos- sons, however, peohy plants are an ornament to the garden. The leaves always have such a clean look, and in the spring the rosy tips of peony shoots peeping through the dark soil push aside the blanket of last years dead leaves to see the new growing things coming up.
 Golden coraopsis may also be planted now for next summers blossoming, and now Is the time to look after your hollyhock pods. As the blossoms go to seed bend down the pods so that the black seeds may scatter themselves around the foot of the growing plants, and next summer your row of tall hol- iyhocks will be richer in color and more luxuriant in growth.
