HuMoR IN iMPoTENT RAGE
tfon Of German Artiiierymsn At
Once Ludicrous and Pathetic.

Lieut.. J. NJ. Cavanagh, who wal
with the first platoon of the Three
Hundred and Fifty-third infantry
of the Eighty-ninth division to cross
the Meuse river in the face of a
whitening shell fire from the Ger
mans, and who was gassed three
days before the signing of the armis-
tice, says the funniest thing he ever
saw was in Flanders.
eve were on the Kailly road" as
serted Lieutenant Cavanagh, "and
there was an old French peasant
woman trundling along baby car
riage with an empty chair in it. The
Huns were Smelling the road, the
shells dropping every few seconds.
As each succeeding shell dropped
within 100 feet of the old woman
she would stop and turn around,
shaking her fists at the German ar
tillerymen miles away. Finally
shell came along, bursting about
fifty feet from her. She was left
standing, but the baby carriage and
the chair were blown into nothing.
Her hand stiH grasped the handle Of
the carriage Shrieking her rage
and despair, she hurled the handle
in the direction of the unseen Ger
mans, knelt down in the road, made
the sign of the cross and then arose
and trudged on, with never a back
ward glance"

slx-HoUR DAY FOR LABOR
Lord Leverhulme Believes II Would
Be for the Benefit Of Both En-
pIoyer and Employee.

The six-hour day proposal Of the
Socialist party Of New York is not
taken very seriously in this country,
but Lord Leverhulme's similar plan
for English industry is not SO light
ly treated in Britain.
Lord Leverhulme is interested in
efficiency as well as in the happiness
and health of the workers. He be-
lieves that many industries would
turn out larger product with smaller
expenditure Of money if the eight
hour day were abolished in favor of
the six-hour day.
Many factories use few men in
comparison with the amount of ma
chinery they require. 1t is most i'm
portant that this machinery should
be kept running at maximum speed
throughout the whole day. Three
shifts of eight hours are much less
efficient, Lord Leverhulme holds,
than four six-hour shifts would be.
Then there are businesses where
the office expense and cost of adj
vertising and sales are high in COM
parison with the shop costs. These,
too, are ripe for the six-hour pro-
gram, the reforming lord believes.
He would not establish the short
er day in industries where the tools
are cheap and unimportant, at least
not at present; and he does not adj
yocate six-hour Gay for farming.

 Of course, thefe is a lover from the north who finds real treasure in the little princess. and this part will allow the management to present another new member of the company, Walter Wilson, who makes his first appearance with the company Monday night Mir. Wilson is well known in the east and bears the reputation of being one of the cleverest juvenile men in the stock game, as well as perfect gentleman in private life, and will undoubtedly be well received by the Majestic patrons.

This will mark the fourteenth week for this clever company at the New Majestic. and seemingly there are many weeks to follow to judge from the daily crowds and the class of patrons who are visiting this playhouse each week.
 Seats are sold several days in advance tor each performance, and the class of clean shows being offered are well worth while. 'The Princess of Patches will be on the entire week, to be followed with an exceptionally strong play, "A Little Mother To Be-" which is under lined for the week of December 8.

CHATS ON THE ATTRACTIONS THIS WEEK AT THEATRES AND MOVIES
By ANNE JORDAN

Birmingham is getting to getting to these days. There are just as good theatres moving pictures here as all nlost anywhere. except of course, New York. It makes me really proud to be able to write about them. I simply love it, when I really like what is com ing to town. And next week is crowd ed with big events. That show at the Jefferson next Friday and Saturday, Listen, Lester" holds a record for be- ing. full of pep and attractive, both written arS- effeminate. The music is also said ,dS be charming. Many of you have heard musical numbers from the play, and know it already.
 The Lyric promises a bright outlook for the week, with old favorites back for a headliner in a new act. And the Lyric matinees are getting to be quite popular with their vaudeville act and the picture that is shown as a lagnyappe Chats French for a bakers dozen)
 The Maddocks-Park players are go- ing to play 'The Princess of Patehes,' 5 with pretty little Mae Park as the princess. This is a story with a girl who begins life as a nameless little waif and is discovered to be an heiress.
 With some of the most novel and en- tertaining acts on the vaudeville stage, and two screen stars of the highest magnitude, the bill for the week at Loew's Bjou promises some enjoyable entertainment. The vaudeville pro- gramme is class all the way through, and than Gladys Brockwell and William Farnum there are no more popular movie stars. ~
 Geraldine Farrar, the wonderful opera singer, who has triumphed as a singer, hbut won greater fame as an emotional actress, will be shown all this week at %the Trianon in "The World and Its Woman
