MAYOR CHEATS AUDIENCE
OF GLIMPSE OF BARE KNEES
Coryphees Donned Tights-Ddrn h-When Hiszoner
appeared at Sho,U-Dignity Smuiped Jokes

full of Kisses for some one. A girl
with one Of the largest mouthfuls
paused near the Mayors prominent
aisle chair and 80 advised him.
The Mayor set his face then, and
sorta looked as though he were about to
issue statement. lie seemed to be
looking for Durell Shuster. He set his
lips more firmly and II became evident
that the Mayor had nothing to say.
After the ladies with kisses there fol-
lowed n coolly and simply dressed party
of girls whose lyrically expressed de-
sire was to whisper" something in
somebody's ear. Over and over they
sang that they had something TO con
fde. The Mayor, feeling, with n num-
brr OF other gentlemen, that he might
be singled out for some whispered con
tidcnCe. looked as though he would give
his municipality for II pair Of ear muffs.
The leading black and white face
comedian cantorcd ON and pulled at
least one carefrce laugh from Mr..
Moore.
II got in the city about dark to-
night" he ramblcd on. 'and l walked
all the way from the station to my hO g..
tel and--what do you think WASH t
held up once!'
Anyway, it was all in fun and to-
night the tights will be back among the
mothballs again.
And the Mayors a good sport.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-12-07

When the President of the United
States goes to the theatre the perform
ance Usually is held up by applause for
few minutes. But when Mayor Moore
dropped in on Broad street revue last
night the whole works was held up for
ten minutes while the managcmen: dug
through the wardrobe for the abandoned
tights OF the showgirls.
The upper halves Of the costumes
seemed to have been lost permanently
however.
Anyway, the Mayor. with his party,
which included Director Of Public
Works Caven. took his scat on the
aisle, fourth row center. with one of
those here We are let 5 hear the worst
expressions on his face. lie looked as
though he were ready for anything. 1t
wns clear case of overcomiidcnCe.
After n good deal of complaining back
of the stage about the tights scratching
and making the girls knees too warm,
the curtain finally went up. AS ono
dimpled Coryphec said, Everything was
lovely up to now
The Mayor showed himself a good
sport. And II ne didn't laugh with
real hcartincss at few OF the jokes,
it was because a Mayor has n certain
dignity to preserve. There are times
when a Mayor is moved to mirth. but
daSSn't show it.
In a little while the leading comedian
galloprd on to the stage and opened up
with his clean cut little line Of boyish
jokes. After couple Of gags that
would put u permanent wave in q
bishops hair. the Mayor looked n wee
bit uneasy.
He was trying to give an impersona :
tion Of the Mayor of Philadelphia
listening to fast line of snappy storie.
and it was darn hard act to get across
1t called for delicate degree ot
pleasing dignity and breadth of outlook
that was hard TO hit. But he Mayor
took it well. and showed power tc
combine his sense Of dignity with rea
sense of humor.
Finally flock Of young women on the
half shell came down the runway and
up the aisle stating to syncopated ac
compartment that they had "A Mouth

PHONE GIRLS STICK
| TO POSTS At BLAZE
Although Burned Himself. Wire
Chief at Kensington Exchange
Carries Operator From Room
REFUSED TO STOP WORK

Two Keystone telephone operators
theoretically stuck to their posts at the
switchboard at the exchange at 81 East
Coilom street. Germantown, last night
while fire, which began in the base
ment, threatened to destroy the build
ing.
Sitting in the smoke filed room, with
the flames coming nearer every min =
ute. the operators calmly answered
calls and gave numbers until Frank
Crosson, wire chief. carried one from
the exchange room and forced the other
to leave.
The operators are Mary Sihle mud
Anna McAnnally. They were the only
two on duty at the North Exchange
at 10 O'Clock last night when Crosson
went into the basement to investigate
smoke, coming from there and discov-
cred the fire.
& Wire Chief Burned
The blaze already had obtained good
headway and CrOSsOn was burned
sIlghtly in his efforts TO cXtinguish it.
Then he telephcned the alarm TO the
electrical bureau and warned the girls
in ehe exchange room.
The fire forced its way to the first
floor and from there to the second floor,
where the rest room for operators, Just
adjoining the exchange room, was vir-
tually destroyed. But the girls still
stuck to their posts despite the danger.
CrOsson warned them several times,
but they reminded him that it was their
duty to stick to the last possible minute
and that they would continue TO answer
calls az long as possible.
Finally, when the firc began to force
its way into the exchange room and the
room became so filled with smoke that
breathing became lnbored and the heat
was terrific. Crosson issued one more
warning and then carried Miss Mean
nelly from the building.
Girls Finish Shift
lie forced Miss Sible 70 leave also.
Z The girls protested and wanted TO re
turn, but were unable to do so because
flames burst ont in the entrance and
4 made It impossible.
Crosson was badly singed and suf-
Z fered from inhaling smoke, but after
[ firemen extinguished the flames re-
turned TO the building and worked vir-
tually all night repairing damage. The
two girls also returned to work and
finished out their shift.
The damage to the building and
equipment is estimated at $1,000. The
fire is believed to have started when
IA hot coal rolled from the heater into
a pile of excelsior stored near the fur
nace.

The Disabled Soldiers

Usually wars have produced great
body of helpless and pathetic cripples,
whose lives have been wrecked, and
the majority Of whom have dependents.
The government plans for re-educat'
ing the soldiers crippled in the late
war, for business and industrial pur-
suits, may work out some time. But
the government, like other large bod
les, moves very, very slowly. The
Federal Board for Vocational Educa'
ton, is coming in for sharp criticism
for alleged red tape methods and de-
lays in paying this debt OF honor and
patriotic duty.
II, as claimed, an interval Of six OF
more months usually takes place after
man is accepted for such training
before he can begin work, there is a
dep,orable lack Of business system.
It is unfair TO relatives who have to
support man who gave his all to his
country. Yet he is put off from month
to month as il he were an undeserving
beggar. Il is a poor reward for patrio,
,ism and the sight is not one TO thrill
the youth olihe land with zeal in the
try.
A helpless man under such circum-
stances quickly gets into hopeless
frame Of mind and every weeks de-
lay makes it harder for him TO take up
his new task Of training. Without this
re education a crippled man will be
handicapped for life, and he may lose
heart and 60 to pieces in despondency
and failure. The American people
feel intensely interested in the welfare
OF these men. They will 20 the limit
10 set them on their feet in business
or industry.
The Republican expresses the senti-
ment Of the soldiers and their relatives
when it asks the Congressmen from
Missouri 10 do what they can to pro-
mote the speedy progress OF this pa
uiotic work. Springfield Republican.

Better Bred Birds Lay the Eggs.

Poultry keepers interested in increas-
ing the egg production oitheir focks will
pay marked attention to the methods Of
feeding, housing, culling and breed
ing. Probably the least progress on
most farms has been made in the art oi
breeding poultry. says T. S. Tosnley
Of the University OF Missouri College
Of Agriculture, in Extension Circular
70.
To produce high layers only the
best Individual producers should be
ured as breeders. This suggests the
necessity Tor having a special breeding
flock. On farms where eggs Tor set
ting are saved from the entire f,ck, Sc
lection is usually based only on th'
siz. and shape OF the eggs. With thi
system the breeder stands goot
chance OF setting many eggs from tn
very lowest producers. Even tn
poorest hens lay fairly we'll during tn
Matching season aud their eggs are us
ually large and smooth. This metho
Of selection of setting eggs is in tn
satne c'sss as the crib selection ol see
corn ard will bring just as poor results
! The first step in improving the eg
production is the establishment. Of
special breeding flock.
