Speak Gaelic" Latest
Appeal Appearing in
Signs About Ireland

DondOn.-Milwauk English
spoken here" sign is about to have
companion piece in Ireland.
The latest thing in Ireland which
totteTs between comic opera and
tragedy is speak Gaelic"
Ireland has declared its independ-
ence in a biIinguaI convention whose
official language was Gaelic, with an
English version following.
Sim Fein doesn't want to speak
the tongue Of the motherland So
tradesmen are requested to be all
Irish by quoting prices and adver-
tising their wares in Gaelic They
cant always spell II, and in many
sections the loyal Republican" isn't
even sure whether the signs are
German or Yiddish.
Some of the signs bear carefully
lettered English translations below.
This is necessary almost everywhere
in the West of Ireland. 1t is one of
the situations which, for the lime
being, swings Ireland toward comic
opera.

Loew's PaIace-Marguerite Clark i'm
Let's EIope,-

1t may be possible to get together
n moving picture program that will
equal the current bill at Loew's
Palace, but it would be difficult to
assemble one that will surpass 1t.
Marguerite Clark has the topline
honors, of course, but there is a.
James Montgomery Flagg comedy
called THE Last Bottle" that every
body who thinks about July 1 ought
to see, besides an up-to-the-minute
news film and the enjoyable mu-
sical interpretations. They all blend
together to make a movie cocktail
with enough tragedy. comedy, every
day happenings and music to please
the average taste.
Little Marguerite Clark, in Lets
Elope," gets away from the purely
peaches and cream character in this
picture and demonstrates that she
can act as well as look cute.
It's clever story. with four lead
ing figures supplied with abundant
work to keep up the standard which
the star sets. For a study in facial
expressions 1t is well worth while.
The story concerns largely a SOUL
full poet" with a soul-mate affec-
tion. who tries it out upon a loved.
but not enough, wife. As it should
be, the understanding third party.

SACRED TOMB
MAY Be EMPTY
Burial Place of Mohammed
at Medina May Not Con-
tain Body Of Prophet.

The tomb of Mohammed at Me
dina. which Fakri Pasha threatens
to enter and blow up. killing him
self, after all may not contain the
body of the prophet of Islam
While IL has been a holy place to
all Mohammedans since $50 A D.,
history has IL that in S2 when light
ming struck the structure, three
graves were filed only with rubbish
found by the men who repaired the
damage.
The siege of Medina has been the
longest drawn out OF the war. The
Turks, driven out of Mecca. expelled
the local population from Medina,
which they entered by the Hedjaz
railroad. and there they remained
for three years, and Fakri. their COM
mander. refuses to surrender.
Medina is 80 miles north of Mecca
It was here that MohsnBned died.
Since it became a sacred city OF
Islam. nonbelievers in Mohammedan-
ism have been excluded.
The nausoleum of the prophet Is
behind the mosque of Medina. fifty
feet square. with a gilt crescent above
a green dome which rises from a
series of globes on top OF the struc-
ture.
A little window known as the
prophets window gives the only view
into the interior. And only costly
carpets and hangings may be seen
ana the three gilt inscriptions which
tell that the prophet of Allah lies
here and the caliphs Aba Bekr and
Omar, and that there is an empty
tomb for Jeus.
These hangings are changed when
they become worn when a new sultan
is proclaimed.
The tomb of the prophet Is a square
of black marble. In 1t the prophet
is supposed to lie at full length, on
his right side. with his right palm
under his cheek. his face toward
Mecca, where Mohsmmedsnism was
proclaimed. Near him is reputed to be
the grave of his daughter. Fattma-
Legend has it that the body OF
the prophet, unaffected by ravages
of time. is constantly suspended in
air by four angels, which are changed
hourly.
Another legend is that the body
lies in a casket Of iron which is held
in suspension by four powerful mag
nets.

WOMAN WORKER
HAS MADE GOOD
Experience Of Country Dur
ing War Has Proved Her
Economic Worth.

Woman IN industry Is a fixture in
the economic life of the United states.
Dawn from her home by the call OF
patriotism, she has learned, through
her war work, her own powers and
capabilities, and developed an effi-
cheney and spirit OF personal indepen-
dedce which will not permit her to
lead life of inactivity.
This Is the opinion OF the officials of
the Department OF Labor and the
United States Employment Service
who have directed and kept in close
touch with women workers during the
war.
- S.ooo,ooo workers.
1t Is conservatively estimated that
the number OF women wage earners in
this country grew in excess OF 5000.
600 before the signing OF the armistice.
Three million were in the field OF ac-
tusl labor.
More than 100000 women, or
approximately half OF the women in
America, have been awakened to a
national consciousness" says Mrs
Clara Taylor, head of the woman's
section Of the Department OF Labor's
Bureau of Education and Information
For the first time they have gained an
insight into the business affairs OF the
nation. They have learned what the
country means to them and their OBJ
legations to the government as citl-
zens."
Reports OF government agents who
have investigated the subject declare
that in great many instances women
did more and better work than the
men they succeeded.
The only places where women failed
to measure up to the requirements
were where the work was too heavy
for their physical strength or the ter
rife noise Of machinery affected their
nervous systems. The Railroad Ad-
rninistraton, for example. found 1t
necessary to take women OF hard la
> Dor in railroad yards.
While the greater proportion of the
women who worked for the first time
during the war plan to continue as
wage earners, the Employment Serv-
ice is emphatic in the assertion that
they are not preventing discharged
soldiers from getting back their old
Jobs. The same spirit Of patriotism
which sent them to work makes them
willing to step aside when a soldier
Ia ready to resume his former en-
ployment, officials declare.
The only serious trouble experienced
in replacing women workers with dis
charged soldiers has been with some
employers who were reluctant to give
up the women and take back the men
because the women were receiving
lower wages. In a few cases II has
been discovered that re-emplOyed SOL
diers would be discharged for no valid
reason after a week or two, in order
that women could be put into their
places again.
Wherever such cases have been
r. brought to the attention OF the gov
eFument determined steps have been
taken to make the employer realize
his obligation to the soldier.

The stage may have its eras. with

but the old element of mystery will
never lose it's grip or power to ap-
peal in the drama.
Perhaps that is why a large audi
ence at the Shubert-Garrick last
night found satisfaction in following
various threads through three acts
to a finish that disclosss they were
clutching the wrong string most of
the time.
Bayard WELLER mixes the modern
third degree methods of the police
with a goodly portion of occultism
in the solution OF a mysterious MUIR
der and he mingles them so closely
that one wonders whether to give
the credit to the astute detectives or
the very practical medium in the
happy ending-if it is possible for
a murder to end happily.
Helen Van Hoose and Joseph R
Garry enact the leading characters.
That of the aged exponent of the
black art is no easy task. There are
moments where OverplayinG may
turn a tense situation into subdued
but Miss Van Hoose skill
fully passed them and her entire
performances was worthy of the
1t occupied.
Detective Donohue, as played by
Mr. Garry, was a trifle more subtle
and scientific in his methods than
one expects of the average expert
in crime analysis. but that was no
fault of the actor. He looked and
spoke his words as a first-class man
from headquarters might, and that
bespeaks good acting.
