sort as far as their humorous patter
! -,goes, but not in the, character of
their voices, Mr.. Kane possessing a
high tenor register of uncommon
beauty.
I. Roberts and Davis. "The Wise Guy
and the Bob Kid" have an act that
might be called q vaudeville chop suey
as it has a little biz of everything
that pertains to up-to-date clever en-
tertainment. Miss Davis in her torn
hat anad ragged overalls, makes a
delightful ''Huckleberry Finn" and
when, she sings her rubc songs and
dances her rube dance, the old folks

off, the present day musical instru-
lents, and, being possessed of a
pleasing personality, hers is an offer.

for she adds zest and enjoyment in
the happy laughing manner in which
she delivers her numbers.

part photoplay "Playing With Fire.

and. twice in the evening; beginning

Young SparroW's First FLIGHT:

I was walking around my stables
and stopped to watch 4 pair of spar.
rows endcing their offspring from
nest in hole in the wall. One Of
the young zones, more venturesome
than the others, tluttered of toward a.
cock feeding in the yard. with some
hens. The cock at once ran up and
seized It in his beak,; the hens, think
ing this was something good to eat,
ran after him. 1. The hunt, however.
was OF short duration, for as soon as
they got out into the open ground, a
scavenser kite came with rush.
snatched the victim from the aston:sh-
ed cock and made of. The cock and
hens then fed squawking for shelter.

Food for Reflection

mems souls." said an American patriot one hundred and seventy years ago. This expression mightlvery appropriately be ap. piled to the conditions that exist today. Nobody seems to know why this industrial depression has swept over the country. ruin ing the American farmer, both north and south. bankrupting the merchants. and throwing 5000. GOO men out of employment to tramp the country vainiy search ing for work.
 A little while ago we were told that the only way to reduce the cost of living was to give the country an over production. The southern farmer got busy and produced enough cotton to clothe the world, and by so doing re- duced himself to rags. The northern farmer produced an abundant crop of wheat and three hundred million bushels more corn than was raised the year previous. but finds himself in the same position with the southern farmer. penalized for being industrious.
 But we are told the reason of this depression is that the farmer has no market for the things he has produced; also that Europe is bankrupt and can not buy. But we had an opportunity to open trade relations with Russia, which would have stimulated in- dustry in this country. but we turned 1t down altho they had the gold to pay. which is the me dium of exchange the world over. Mir. Vanderlip. an American cap italist. secured enough contracts while in Russia to keep the fac tories running for three years. Just why 'our officials refuse to raise the embargo no one knows. unless 1t is their form of govern ment. But would that be reason able excuse when we recognized Russia ander the Car, probably the most tyranical government that ever existed.
 President Wilson sent T com mittee to Russia to collect data concerning the stability of their form of government. When they returned they informed him that 9S per cent of,the Russian people were in favor of the SOviets. and yet our officials find 1t convenient to let our cotton rot in the fields and ginyards while Russian mil lions are without clothes. They let our wheat rot in the bins while Russian children are crying for bread. Millions of American workmen patiently waiting for the opportunity to transform the raw products into articles of trade, but being denied the in alienable right to work they are forced to join the innumerablc cavaicade of hoboes. Thousands of these idle men were little while ago bucking the Ger man lines they were heroes then. they are hoboes today.
 Without a doubt we are the most liberty loving people on the face of the globe When all did not go we'll with the nephew of the Car. we dispatched an Amer ican army, without even the form of declaration of war, to restore democracy to that country. The American soldier. seeing that he was being made the goat for the imperial dictator. went on a strike when ordered to the front. Then seeing that this would not work. they gratuit0usly donated

Improvement in Service
Shopn BY Pernsy Reports

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Feb. "a
Progress made on the southwestern
region of the Pennsylvania railroad in
restoring passenger and freight serv-
ice to normal is indicated by reports
just compiled covering the period
since the Pennsylvania railroad re-
sumed the management Of its property
last March.
In this period, the number Of south
western region passenger trains arriv-
ing late at destination on account of
locomotive failures was reduced rs
per cent, and the actual time lost by
passenger trains on the same account
was reduced II per cent. During the
same period the same number of pas
senger trains arriving late on account
of car failures and the actual time
lost on this account were both reduced
about one-half.
From March II, to Jan. l of this
year, locomotive repair work had pro-
crossed to such an extent that the
percentage of motive power available
for service was increased from 1916
per cent to 81 per cent. At the same
time the number of bad order freight
cars in the southwestern region was
| reduced from 3,465 on March 1 tc

CHRONIC DIPHTHERIA
CHILDREN GET HOME
(By Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. "a
Twelve little boys and girls, held vir-
tual prisoners of science at the Phila-
delphia hospital for contagious dis
eases for periods ranging from 10
months to six years, will be given
home of their own at the institution,
it was announced today.
The children are suffering from the
rare affection of chronic diphtheria,
and must be kept at the hospital not
only to protect the public from con-
tagion but for their own safety. 1t is
explained that the disease has settled
in their threats, destroying important
tissues and muscles provided by ma
ture as part of their breathing appa-
ratus, and that unless hard rubber
tubes are kept in their threats, the
children are likely to die of suffoca-
ton. Nurses must constantly be in
attendance in case one of the tubes
slips from its place. The boys and
girls are not invalids, however, but
romp and play as other children.
A fund of $4,000 has been set aside
for a home for the youngsters. The
building will be combination home,
