entered, everybody up and cheer for
our Governor, hairy but hopefull Give
him cheer for each of the hairs on
the noble summit of Brother Wake
mani"
Like everybody else, Mr.. Woodruff
had become thoroughly familiar with
the elaborate coiffure of Mr.. Wakeman,
who came to Torrington with two of
his hairs parted to the right and the
other to the left and curlad back
toward his ear. 1t was just Mr.. Wood
ruff's playful, bald-headed way Of say
ing three cheers for the Governor.
But to the horror Of Mr.. Woodruff
and the 348 others, whose eyes turned
toward Mr.. Wakeman, the cleaning pin
nacie of that human abacus was dis
covered to have sprouted another hair
since his arrival in this salubrious
climate.
Quickly rallying from the shock, how
ever, the bald heads jumped to their
feet and rosred "'Rayl 'Rayi RAY!
'Ray!"
1t was tough on Mr.. Wakeman. Up
to that moment he had no suspicion of
the misfortune which had befallen him,
portentous as it was of worse to come.
He grasped the situation instantly,
however. His right hand went caress-
ingly along the familiar pattern of his
long cherished hairs and then paused
tremblingly as the fingers encountered
the interloper. Pale but firm of coun-
tenance, he resumed his seat.
Remains to Bitter End
II shall remain" he said until the
convention is over, come what may"
1t was noticed, however, that his
fingers constantly were exploring the
threatened region and that he often
consulted his watch and the timetable.
Besides Governor Lake, the speakers
were the Rev. DIR. j. c. Linsley, Mayor
Winfield Scott Rogers of Bantam
Philos Opper and Charles r. Grilley,
| of Boston, and Mr.. Wakeman. Charles
D. Agard was elected president of the
club.

Special pispeten to Tae Trisa,.e

TORRINGToN, Conn, May a.--Pro-
longed shouting which broke out this
evening in q private dining room of
the Conley Inn here, where $50 mem
bers Of the Bald Headed Club of Amer
lea were holding their annual ,conven-
tion, brought private detectives from
the four quarters of the compass.
The detectives had been posted by
the score in and around the hotel, lest
DR.. J. H. Parsegan, Of 62s West 115th
Street, New York, who threatened to
attend the convention and sew hair on
every bald head in sight, with hair
sewing machine Of his own invention,
should ignore the emphatic negative
with which his suggestion was received,
and manage to gain entrance to the
convention.
The leading lights of the bench, bar,
pulpit, literature, Belgian hare culture
and other arts and sciences who gained
admission to the Bald-Headed Club of
America by sheer, merit have no in
tention of letting tho organization go
to smash just to demonstrate the po-
teney of hair sewing machine which
was invented, moreover, by q man
whose scalp is still buried beneath a
thick, primitive growth.
The anxiety of the private detectives
was allayed, however, when they dis
covered the uproar was merely the four
cheers with which the Bald Headed
Club Of America greeted it's guest, Gov
ernor Lake. Although even the private
detectives did not detect it at the time
hideous tragedy which drove Walter
Wakeman to take the first train back
to his home in Wilkes Barre, Pa, after
the convention was the source of those
four hearty cheers.

''Biff! Bling! Bang!' by

Comedy Born of Trench Life

Ambassador Audience
THE CAST

THE CAST
Ross Hamilton. Red Newman. Albert
Arthur Holland. Fred T'enwiek. Charles
Mclean, Bin Tennant. Frank Brayford,
rom Young Jack Aver, Jimmy doods,
Morley Piunkett, Bobby Scott, Bert Wilkin-
son. Percy Campbell. Arthur Wttham,

Plunisott.
"BiR! Bingl Bangl" created by
the entertainers of the Canadian Ex-
peditionary Force known IS the Dunn
bells, was given it's first American pro-
duction at the Ambassador Theater last
night. 1t proved to be clever medley
of dainty music, wholesome nonsense,
good -humored satire and splendid bur-
lesque,
The Dumbells were organized by
Captain M. w. Plunkett in 1917 among
the members Of the 3D. Canadian Divi-
sion, Their purpose was to furnish
amusement for the soldiers independ-
eLtly of professional entertainers.
They developed SO rapidly and got SO
much fun out Of the war that they
were later taken to London. They have
been doing service ever since, and their
advent in New York is after run Of
almost two years in Canada. Each OF
the thirty Dumbells had seen at least
sixteen months Of service before he
was admitted to the company. They
are said to be now the only theatrical
company in existence run on the CO.
operative basis, as each receives an
equal share Of the profits.
Broadway voted "Biff! Bing! Bangl"
a hit. 1t showed it's appreciation from
the time the curtain rose on the trench
scene to the hilarious mock entertain
ment provided for the soldiers at the
end
The spirit of the show is indicated in
the first song, ''Goodby Khaki" dur
ing which the Dumbells doff their uni
forms to disclose an array of make
believe chorus girls. After that it is a
continuous merrymaking, not without
some keen satire based on the trench
experiences of the soldiers, as, for in
stance, "Red" Newman's singing of
ooh, Oh, Oh, It's Lovely War"
"The Duchess Entertains," playlet
was capital take-off on the efforts of g
titled lady to furnish amusement tc
disabled soldiers, each of whom proved
to be funnier than the duchess or hel
entertainers

TO nothing. This was matter of no
great moment, for the music, despite
dinary. Shaun Gienville, the other
featured performer, put over one or
two songs with spirit, but his comedy
methods are quite dreadful and ever
so dreary.
Before phoebe of Quality Street"
was produced Barrie himself must
have been spirited off to that myste-
rious island of MARY Rose IL he

will guarantee that he will never rec

his child or gwen distant niece.
There need be no argument that it is
illegitimate.

ICE GoRGES IN SUSQUEHANNA
Scene At Port Deposit Is Considered
Very Beautiful

Port Deposit, Md, Jan. 26.-Thc
cold break in the weather together
with a six-foot rise in the Susquc-
hanna River, has covered that stream
from the summary lake of the past
week into a tumblcd mass of white
that CLEANS like silver in the sunlight.
Last night in the moonlight, the
sight was inspiring and spectacular.
With the fear Of the annual destruc-
tive gorging of the ice believed for
ever removed, the people of the valley
are enjoying today natural scene
that is believed to be unsurpassed
anywhere else in the United States.
Just as the sun broke over the
towns background of hills this morn
ing the anchored ice, that had formed
in the rapids north Of Port Deposit,
began moving down on the pack that
has accumulated in front of the town,
and for two hours the run continued.
For miles the whole stream was a
field of Scintllating brilliancy.

Biq Increase in
Unemployment

Exceeding by Il million and half
previous estimates of the number of
unemployed by industrial and Other
leaders. figures based on first nation
wide survey just completed by the
Department of Labor'S employment
service show that at the beginning OF
the ycai the number of persons en-
ploycd in industry in this country was
3.i73 .i66 less than a year ago.
While. in announcing this figure,
Director John b. DcnSmorc pointed
out that it did not take into account
workers who may have found en-
ploymcnt in agricultural and Other
pursuits not covered by the survey
and therefore could not be taken as
representing the exact number of un-
employed, other officials said they. be-
lievcd the army of unemployed might
be larger even than the total given.
This was possible. they said. be
cause the survey covered only those
pursuits classed under the head OF
"mechanical industry" and no effort
was made to ascertain the reduction in
the number of persons employed in
other vocations.
The employment services figures
represented reduction of 1863 pei
cent in the number of workers en-
ployed in industry As compared with
January of last year.
Michigan led the States in proper
tional reduction with 81 per cent, and
Ohio and Indiana followed, with re-
duction in employment of 30 per cent
each Next came Illinois, with 81 per
cent; Connecticut, with - per cent;
Massachusetts, with 3S per cent; Wis
consin. 81 per cent; New York. % per
cent. and New Jersey. - per cent.
Percentages for the other States were
not given.
The largest percentage of reduct ion
in specific industries, 60 per cent, oc-
CURED in the automobile and acces-
sorry industry. and this was taken to
account largely for the great reduc-
tion in employment in Michigan. This
industry. the employment service an
nouncemcnt said, employed about
eight per cent of the total workers in
all industry in the country a year ago.
Second in rank in the reduction was
the building trades. with approximate
ly 80 per cent. Last January about ! !
per cent Of the total industrial work
erS was employed in this industry.
A reduction of 35.5 per cent was
noted in the textile and related in
dustries. 35 per cent in leather and its
products. and 30 per cent in lumber
and house furniture.
