CHORUS GIRLS EARN
SLIPPER IN LONDON

LONDON, Feb. 1s.-Pretty Ameri-
can maids who have stage ambitions
and would even start in the chorus
had better fight shy Of England
where the top salary for chorus girls
averages So a week. This sum. pc
nuriously spent might buy food for
one in London. But nothing else.
In addition TO the fact that there
is a plentitude Of girIs-a glut in
the market in fact-amply meeting
the needs of the British stage, Which
seemingly demands craven images in
the chorus, an American chorus girl
would find that all of the yep and
pep she puts into her work totally
out OF keller here. Smiling. vivaci-

The London chorus girl, who has

She wants more money, and, after
consulting with the managers, is told
that the only way to get IT is for the
salaries Of the stars to be reduced.
The chorus girl contends a star is

Spurning Money, Mother
And Secret Bride of Dead
Hero Fight For Baby

"Ten thousand dollars insurance
what is that? Ruth is welcome to
the money. But she shall not have
the baby!"
This declaration OF Mrs. John A.
Kemp. a grandmother of a posthumous
war baby, is still ringing in the ears
OF Congressman Charles Nichols OF
Michigan, who is today wrestling with
4 new type Of war story.
The grandmother has returned 40
Detroit after a visit in Washington.
She left with Mr.. Nichols seven sworn
statements and a lot of miscellaneous
data
Here's the story:
Mrs. Kemp's son, Robert Paul
Kemp, was drafted in October last.
Some weeks later it developed thas
he had a secret bride.
Machinery was put in motion to get
him honorably discharged.
1.-THE soldier contracted pneumonia
and an officious officer served his dis
charge papers on him while he lay
in a semi-conscious condition with
raging fever" Congressman Nichols
told The Times.
The soldier died late in November,
a few days after his discharge papers
had been granted.
When the body was not shipped
home, Mrs. Kemp made inquiries.
She was told that the authorities at
Camp Custer were unable to deter
mine whether or not the boy was a
soldier or a civilian.
Considered Civilian.
Finally the authorities ruled that
the boy was not a soldier, since he
had been discharged while on his
deathbed. Therefore, they said. he
was not entitled to funrela expenses.

story to me, had to go to Battle Creek

The Point of View

Ever since Joshua bade the sun
To stand still,
Men have been endeavoring to
change nature
By laws and commands,
But their success has not been start
ling, Hortense-
In fact it has been scarcely notice
able.
But that will not prevent
Their cheerfullymaklng more laws
And uttering a new flood of com
mands
Whenever any of them happens
To acquire a thimbleful of author
ity.
Nobody like to admit it,
But when a law becomes distasteful
The hoi polloi ignore it in fact
While most likely praising its vir-
tues.
And all of us are that kind of hoi
polloi,
More or less-rather more than less.
If the law impose insurmountable
obstacles
And we must perforce, obey,
We do it in hardness of spirit.
The COW that's fenced in
Never changes her mind about
The tyranny of the fence
Nor about the pastures being green
er
On the other side

SAYINGS OF THE WISE

If you are never "far wrong"
neither are you likely to be "far
right"
And where is the ancient loafer
that used to be able to quote Shakes
peare "by the yard" while his wife
took in sewing by the yard and hung
out washing in the yard
If you think you know what you
are doing you can hardly make other
people think the same way, even if
you don't. Order any group of idle
workmen to start tearing up a street
and they'll do it without questioning
your authority, because they know
that is what streets are for
There are those who think the surest
test of love is the pocketbook, and
maybe they're right-who knows?
Abandon false pride and claim con-
tentment.
The oxen bow their necks to the
yoke and humble men bow their backs
to the stroke.
Humility is the fault of the unsuc-
cessful, which, also, is by the way of
being often the reason why they are
successful.
1t must be poor consolation for a
crazy man to know that lots of other
people are crazy.
Yes, and what's become of the
"dude" who thot he was being sport
when he treated the girl to an oyster
stew at twenty-five cents per after
taking her to see EAST Lynn"
Just because you take the world
tragically, don't imagine the world is
going to take you that way. It's too
busy.
If you never give up till you have
to, you may make others give up be-
fore they wish to,
People who are going nowhere are
oftenest led astray.
A woman never feels complimented
if you tell her she is of beautiful
disposition. Leave of the "disposi-
ton"
There are two sides to every ques
ton. Fishing is fun, but not for the
fish.
Haste not only makes waste but a
lot of unpleasantness besides.
i
Everybody knows that wealth and
pleasure are very unevenly distributed
but when you want to change it all
think of Russia.
Sincerity is the keystone in the arch
of success. Every gold brick artist
knows that.
When floaters with the down drift
become apostles of the uplift it usually
signifies they are afraid of dying or
being arrested.
Few people can bear great prosper
ity gracefully, which must be the rea-
son that so few of them are called
upon to do it.
Being able to call large number of
persons by name is not necessarily an
accomplishment. 1t is a good deal
owing to who the people are you can
call by name.

The High School program of last
Monday night was big success. The
completed stage made beautiful set
ting for the different numbers, each
of which was well given,
The first number on the program
was four songs of the navy by the
High School Glee Club, directed by
Miss Johnson The boys in their
white sailor suits and the girls in
their MILDLY suits looked like typical
sailor ladies and lassies and their roll
licking jolly songs pleased the au-
dience.
Miss Lillian Grue read four num-
bers, "The Terrible Meek" by Charles
r. Kennedy, "a patren or art" by Mar
garet Cameron, MOO Cow Moo" by
Edmond V. Cook, "Dickie and the
Clock" by James Whitcomb Riley, She
gave very sympathetic character in
depreciation especially in her first
number "The Terrible Meek"
Howard Roach's two piano solos
called forth loud applause to which he
responded with a good encore number.

those who took part, but under the
able supervision of Miss Grue, the
pantomine was considered a great sue
cess.

Last Tuesday evening the Juniors
started the Spring season by having
weinie roast at the mouth of the
Chumstick and it proved to be great
success. The party \ started about
$50 in the afternoon and paraded
down the track to the place where they
were to have the feed. AFTER making
a large fire and cooking the coffee
everyone grabbed weinie and pro-
ceeded to roast and eat it. The cof
fee was very good but after Ray sue
ceeded in falling off a rock and land
ing with one foot in the coffee pot no
one wished any more. The honorable
president of the class, Howard Roach
evidently was not used to the cold
evening air and for this reason stayed
too close to the fire, which caused him
to be forced to buy a new pair of shoe
strings. Nevertheless after hearty
eating and staying close to the fire
they decided to have a rock fight
which resulted in many complaints
upon the part of the girls. After the
fight was over everyone was ready to
come home, so the very weary march
was begun. Everybody had a good
time and many more of the delightful
feeds will be planned before long.
