AMUSEMENT NOTES
"0h Daddy" to Be Given at Barre
Opera House. Thursday, May 10.

Opera House, Thursday, May Is.
II Is long time since any company
has elected such uniform flood OF
praise from the press as that accorded
the big musical comedy which VIII
come to the opera house one night,
Thursday, May IL, in ''Oh Daddy" The
attraction bears proudly the most OF
encomiums bestowed by such papers
as the New York Evening World, the
New York Evening Post, New York
Times, New York Tribune, Chicago
Herald, Chicago News, Chicago Irlb-
une and numerous Others.
One Of the features of the various
reviews is that all of the critics dwell
on the freedom from vulgarity, most
commendable point with an attraction
which makes such a prominent display
of the feminine form divine. 'Oh
Daddy" is most enjoyable entertain
ment. Its story has humorous ap-
peal with complications that involve
uproariously funny situations. The ac-
ton is rapid and is filled with snappy
dialogue and tantalizing music, with
lively punches of young and pretty
girls, who really can sing and dance.
The costumes are bright and blended
in color to please the eye. The magic
wand of melody and charm of youth
prevail through the entire performance.
Twenty song hits are literally inter
polated and an exceptionally strong
cast of clever performers. Don't forget
the date of ooh Daddy. adv.

Mac Of Placid" is the title of a
novel to be published early this
month by The Century Co. the au-
thor being T. NJ. Longstreth. who
may be called a mountain fan. His
first two books, THE Catskills" and
THE Adirondacks," are remembered
as infectiously enthusiastic accounts
of the authors journeys through
the two mountain sections indicated.
For several years Mr.. Longstreth
has been living in winter as well as
In summer in the Adirondacks, At
Lake Placid. and he has there gath
cred material for his new novel, Il
Is said. Not far from Lake Placid
Is Saranac, where Robert Louis
stevenson lived for a while; and
Mr.. Longstreth, who Is also a
Stevenson fan, could not resist the
temptation to make r. J.. s. one OF
the characters OF his story. steven

Tweedledum Tweedledee.

The phrase, "Tweedledum and
Tweedledee," was originally coined
to express contempt for musical
controversy. In 1T2O the Royal
Academy of Music brought to Lon
don distinguished Italian COM
poser and conductor. Giovanni Bo-
noncini. and the incident was re-
garded as n deliberate attempt to
assail the prestige OF Handel. who
had for some years been established
in the favor of George l and his
court.
The great Marlborough family
was then at odds with the House OF
Hanover. and anti-German feeling
prevailed among the old Jacobite
families.
These factions speedily took the
Italian newcomer under their
wings, and tho result was that, for
tho first and only time In British
history, rivalry between two musi-
clans assumed political aspect.
The feud was embittered by the
real success OF Bononcini's opera.
"Griselda."
IL was while this controversy
was at it's height that the following
satirical lines appeared and were
recitcd throughout London:
Some say, compared to Bononcini
That Mynheer Handers but a ninny;
Others aver that he to Handel
Is scarcely ft to hold q candle.
Strange that such difference should
be
Twixt twcedlcdum and tweedledec."

French President
Feels II. C.. l..
IKE his predecessor Poincar

IKE his predecessor Poincare,
President Deschanel Is begin
- ming to feel the pinch CT the
II. c. L., according to reports from
Paris. In fact. IL the government
doesn't grant him a bonus soon he
says he'll go broke.
President Poincare's biggest item
OF expense was entertainment, 10:
which he was allowed 100000 francs
and for which he spent nearly
100000 francs per annum. Before
he left the Elysee Poincare gave
Deschanel the inside dope on the
Presidential hard-luck story and as
a consequence Deschanel yielded to
his already severe prohibitionist
tendencies and absolutely forbade
drop OF liquor except light wines to
be brought into the mansion.
He even put steel padlocks on the
doors leading to the Elysee cellars,
most celebrated in Europe.
But it didn't work. Despite the
vigorously curtailed menus and the
abstinence OF the Presidential
househld, President Deschanel found
himself sliding nearer and nearer
to the abylss of Financial en-
barrassment." Unlike other national
executives, the president of France
have recently been augmented he
now has to pay the neat little sum
of 100000 francs. or one-siXth of
his total income, salary and eX-
penses, to the French exchequer.
Meanwhile, former President
Poincare is sitting back. having a
reminiscent grin at the attempts of
his successor to make the highest
office in the gift of the republic
pay.
For since he left the Elysee
Poincare is fast replenishing his de-
pleted bank account. AS chairman
of the reparations commission he
draws 100000 francs a year. His
law practice, it is estimated, brings
him a cool half million. Besides
this, his income as an author and
writer for the public press nets him
enough to bring the total up to the
million mark.

In the case OF fruit or tomatoes,
even though many OF the bacteria
survive the short heating process,
few or none will grow because of
the acid present. Heavy sirup add
ed to the fruit also prevents the
growth of bacteria. For this reason
fruit requires much shorter time
OF processing than vegetables. with
the exception OF tomatoes.
During the past year experime nts
have been made with the addition
of a small amount of acid-vinegar
to non-acid vegetables being cam
ned. The results thus far indicate
that one to four tablespoons OF vim
egar added to a quart jar help
greatly in reducing the amount OF
spoilage. When the vinegar is add
ed the time of processing can be re-
duced. For instance, il is found
that corn, which ordinarily is diff
cult to can successfully, keeps well
when four tablespoons of vinegar
are added to a quart jar processed
three hours continuously. String
beans. old peas and spinach are
other vegetables successfully can
ned by this method.
The addition of vinegar to canned
vegetables in the amounts mem
toned modifies to some degree tho
natural flavor of the vegetable. but
the result is not Objectionable to
most people, and in many instances
is not noticed.

The young man took her hand
and carried 1t gallantly to his lips
and as he did so Don Severe stepped
before his brother and found him
pale, staring, convulsed with emo
tion.
"Ah. my brother. you have discov-

fully.
"Yes, they are in there-the world

"You should have sent him away
last night; your kind heart got the
better of your judgment. But 1t is
not too late to tell him."
Don Julian rose.
"Or, better still. I will ask him
to step in here"
Julian nodded, resumed his chair,
and Severe departed. The poet and
Teodora were shoulder to shoulder
as the emissary arrived. They
started when they heard him, and
their start was interpreted by him
