Flo Ziegfeld must look to his laurels.
His ability as Snowman OF feminine
pulchritude, as the phrase has come
to be whenever the good looks Of the
stage are in question. has long been
unquestioned. But this year, while It
might go too far to say that his foot
has slipped. II Is at least true that he
has stumped his toe against this i'm
portant problem. For the chorus, the
rank and file OF the choristers, the
constantly reappearing sand hogs of
the merry merry, are by no means
beautiful.
What would on the other hand have
been known as the show girls in pre-
vious years are as comedy as ever by
nature and as temptingly revealed by
art as they ever were. And they are
uncommonly clever in doing what has
been assigned to them as a means of
revealing their physical charms. But
of the well clothed and drilled chorus
there are few to be called beautiful.
They are all that dear girls should be,
enthusiastic, friendly, smiling and. so
far as one may detect with the naked
eye. striving to please. But they are

But 1t was the revelation Of the

WOOD is PRESIDENTIAL
PROBABILITY.

The presidential preference express
sed in New York recently by 5000
wounded soldiers, showed President
Wilson to be the choice of the largest
number of these heroes, with General
Leonard Wood good second. There
is little doubt that President Wilson
can have the democratic nomination
in 1920 if he wants it. If he doesn't
want it, it is probable that his SON
in-law, VIM. G. McAdoo, will pick the
plum or have it picked for him. In
the republican ranks the situation is
a little more open and the party lead
ers are casting about for the men
who is most likely to be able to lead
the party to victory. Therefore, the
preferential vote given General. Wood
is important. There is no denying
that the general has thousands of adj
mirers among the soldiers, not a few
of whom openly state that he is their
choice for president in 1920. Also,
the fact that Wood was kept in
eclipse during the war has created
some resentment against IH0 duillH-
istration and consequently some SYM
pathy for the general, whose ability
as a military leader was unquestioned.
And again, Woods is type of Ameri-
canism which appeals to the people |
of the nation just now, and as a cam
didate for president he would be |
pretty certain to catch the public |
imagination. In addition to his |
staunch Amercanism, the general is
said by those who know him to have
great executive ability and to be a
leader of men.
If the republican national conven-
ton were held now, it is very much
within the range of possibilities that
the nomination would go to General
Wood.

A CONGRESSIONAL BLUNDER.

The millions of people and corpora
tions in the United States subject to
the new income and profits taxes had
been given hardly as many days in
which to fill out their returns and
make initial payments as congress
had taken months in preparing the
law.
The inevitable result, as here in
New York, was such last minute
rush upon the internal revenue col
lectors as their offices had never
known before. Hundreds of taxpay-
ers waited in line from Saturday
morning until midnight. Hundreds of
sacks of mailed returns and checks
piled up in the same places. The
clerical forces were simply buried I'M
