London, August 9.-(Special )-One en- counters the human hog, the boor, the churl and the merely carelessly incon- siderate person in all sorts of places, notably in public conveyances, and the temptation to rebul1e him or her publicly is generally strong. But this involves at the best row with the possibility that the rebukee may be more than the re- buker's equal at whitening repartee), at the worst fight with the distinct pos- sibility of both combatants being bounced on by the nearest policeman and borne off forthwith to 'chokey.'
 A much heater and less hazardous means of ticking off ill-bred persons bores and blunderers recently has been discovered in this country and appears to be steadily growing in popularity. 1t consists of admonishing the offender generally a stranger, by means of & ''personar' addressed to him or her in one of the newspapers, and, thus far, the famous personal column of the London Times. always divertng reading, has been chosen in the majority of cases as the medium for conveying the knock" Of course, the obvious disadvantage of this plan, as opposed to pitching into the offender on the spot is that the roast may never meet the eye of the per- son to whom it is addressed, but as the more picturesque of the Times personals are almost invariably quoted by the other newspapers, the strong probability is that the arrow of admonitbon, thus winged, will duly reach it's mark.
 Here are a couple of recent Times per- sonals on the lines indicated:

 What nasty jar for the raconteour, who probably brides himself greatly on his relation of the despised "chestnuts, when he opened his Times that morning. perhaps in the railway carriage, and read that terrible slam. One can imagine his instant pretense to be interested in any thing else in the paper than the personal column, and his succeeding stealthy look around the carriage with the object of !, Identifying, if possible, the fled up" one who, in his fedupness had gone to the length of blowing $7.50, the cost of a Times personal of this length, for the sole purpose of damning the story telers flow of ancient wheezes. It is fairly safe to conjecture that on that particular day many an anecdote fell from his lips and, like as not he has never told another one since, not in railway carriage anyway. And one can also figure" as H. G. Wells says, the mordant glee of the advertiser, on seeing his barb strike home, and his inward delight at having achieved his object. It must have been cheap at S.50

 When recently upon the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the revival of the Olympic games, and the founda- tion of the Olympic committee, Baron Pierre de Coubertain, president of the committee, sitting at Lausanne, Switzer- land, announced the date and place se- iected for the next Olympiad, 1t was also proclaimed that the members of the body had also gone on record as against accepting entries from citizens of enemy countries. It was known that many of che most prominent athletic organizations in the United States and Great Britain had warned that they would not enter the games with Germans and Austrians, the Amateur Swimming association of England taking the lead at it's annual meeting by voting that swimmers of Aus trian, Bulgarian, Hungarian German or Turkish nationality whether naturalized or not, were ineligible in any club af-

the Casino, is a most interesting pic
ture and play which most theater-
goers will like to see. The film shows
a poor telephone girl who married q
millionaires son, and then was de-
serted by her husband. Miss Brock
well plays the part of the telephone
girl.
The story is of Eleanor Burton (Miss
BrockwelD who was an operator in 2
large hotel She had two suitors.
James Drake, rich young man, and
Frederick Lawson, young attorney,
and 1t was hard for her to decide
which she loved best. Lawson decided
for her when he told her not to flirt
with Jim. Eleanor did not like this
and she Immediately married Jim. For
marrying telephone girl Jim's al
lowance was cut off by his father and
he could not live on wine, women and
song without an allowance. Jim also
liked Marie Worden, whose duty was
to help Eddie Callahan secure money

Paramount picture, which is the at

Martin scores an artistic hit in her
characterization Of "Lindy" sweet,
unsophisticated little girl who has been
brought up never to commit wrong
or tell a lie. 1t is delightful role and
is handled by Miss Martin in charm

felony when she merely held up let

dressed to a poor family across the

and which she was certain was an

the story and also a strong dramatic
