THE MUSICAL ODDITY
"PECK'S BAD B0Yr

The old comedy favorite "Peck's
Bad Boy" which the grown-ups OF
today liked so well when they were
children, and which the children OF
today like even more for the reason
that the comedy is not Anticipated but
has been brought up to date by the
well known writer Of many song sue
cesses, Irving Berlin, who has inter-
polated the modern songs Of today
and the latest devices in the way OF
laugh-provoking incidents. All that Is
old about "Peck's Bad Boy" Of the
present SEASON is the everpt pular
story of the typical American boy
whose Franks upon father and
mother and upon Shultz, the old Ger
man grocer, are the talk Of the neigh
borhood In which he lives. The title
role Is in the efIit ent hands OF Junior
De Rita the riL ct who has signed a
long term contract with the producers
who has to make make many conces-
sion to get his signature to a con-
tract. The engagement in this city Is
for one cay, next Tuesday, at the
Washington theater.

ON HEALTH BOARDS

Louisville, KY, Jan. IL - Appoint
ment of q woman on County Health
Boards is urged upon Fiscal Courts by
the State Board of Health, according
to DR.. J. N. Mccormick, Secretary Of
the bureau. Appointment of women to

them because of their untiring efforts
in health work, especially in the last
decade, and also in view of their now
having equal suffrage rights.
At present there are four members
on each County Health Board, three
physicians being appointed by the
State Board, while the fourth general
IL is the County Judge or another
county official. The Fiscal Court, I'M
der the law, would appoint the fifth
n ember, who, the State Health organ
i9ation hopes will be woman. DR..
Mccormack explained that the woman
a. we'll as the men members Of each
b ard should be we'll known in the

NAUGUARAL BALL GOWNS

President-elect Hardings wish to

fashionable gown makers a jolt
Whether prospective buyers would
take up the garments, with the ball

Florists, 1t was said, also expected
the loss of hundreds of orders, actual

any woman's advantage who suffers
from female ailments in any form to
give this old fashioned root and herb

BAD MAN SENT
TO STATE ASYLUM.
The Fleming Gazette says:

The Fleming Gazette says:
Robert Browning, the Robertson
county young man who was in Jail
here for shooting up a church near
Fairview and for attacking Jailer
Fizer in an effort to escape, was tried
for lunacy in Judge Fulton's court
Wednesday and was committed to the
asylum. Attendants from Lexington
came here Thursday and took him to
the Eastern Kentucky Hospital.
Browning may be playing off to get
out of bad situation, but in trying to
be a dad man from bitter creek" he
must have a weak strain in his make
up. Lately in jail he appeared to be
unbalanced on religion, claiming that
the Lord was personally directing
him. Anyway, he ought to come out
of the asylum a better man than he
was when he was Jailed here"

About the only thing the average youth inhcrits from his father is his politics.
 A woman can judge that there's something immoral about man by the way he keeps @everybody from finding it out
 Even when Princess realizes that she is homely she manages to con sole herself with the reflection that she has Classic Features.
 And a woman doesn't have to be remarkably fond of Dumb Animals to like her Poodle more than she likes her Husband

Is the World Bankrupt?
Cincinnati Enquirer. ]

Astonshngly large sums are dealt with by sta tistcians who discuss world indebtedness Before the World War such amounts scarcely heard of in ordinary conversation or in printed articles. Where public debts existed they seldom exceeded one numeral in the billions division. Now they dealt with in tens and hundreds of billions. Interest charges nowadays national debts almost great public debts themselves used to be.
 The satstican of the National City Bank of New York the national debts of the world whicl in 1913 he puts at $43,00O, O,00O more than $500 900, ,00O, ,O0O in November 1920 Paper currency
 in the world increased from $7 500 ,00O, 900 than sS2,00O,0 COG, 900 in the time Before the the ratio of gold the currency of the world lie averaged for all countries 66.3 per cent. In November, 1920, it had fallen to 92 per Annual
 interest charges national debts in the same period have risen from $1,750, 900 900 to than $12,- oO0,000,G00. These sums he determines the basis of the pre-war ratios of exchange of the currences of the different countries of the world to the dollar At the present ratios of exchange these would be enormously extended.
 The increase of the dtLtS of, course, has heen due to the excess of expenditures receipts from taxation. Three fourths of the counl1ies of the world, it was stated at the Brussels Financial con terence, are showing budget deficits, and eleven Of twelve European countries said to show annual expenditures in kexcess' of receipts from ordinary s""rces. So tremendous have been the budget deficits of European countries that they s6 per cent of fl the national debts Of the world and hold SS Der cent of the paper currency in existence And scrap of it is deprcated value on the basis of dollar exchange.
 Congressman Robert Luce, of Massachusetts, a member of the House Committee on Banking and Currency recently said the world is rushing toward bankruptcy and added it would get there unless radical and effective measures were taken to check the tide But how to check that tide seems to be a problem that the greatest recognized financial experts oi the world have not agreed upon Congress has not yet determined how to go about securing the

Youth and Age.
!(ChicagO JOurnalD

t(Chicago JournalD
 There are times when there would seem to be less inference between youth and age in America than in my other land, yet the controversy between the two in the Atlantic Monthly and elsewhere indi- 'ates that even here the gulf between the two must be wide
 So far as our American youth are doing any thinking, it is evident that they are not thinking he thoughts of their elders Oddly enough they appear to be less optimistic. The elders have wit messed the most terrible in history yet are still rconvnced that the world is any essential changed oy the event The younger generation feels that things have been left in a mess
 The young thinkers feel that the times are out t joint, but, like Hamlet, they do not relish the lob of settling them right. But they will have to make the attempt and there is hope to be found in helr attitude for contrary to the popular view prog css is born not out of optimism, out of feeling that things are rotten and must be completely over Eauled. .., ..,

 But the Dispatch knows all this. It knows its statement untrue. That is why it printed it.
 It might be added here that the editor of The Empire came to Alaska at the very urgent request of Gov. Strong that he asked Gov. Strong for any favors, never expected any and never granted a single business political favor of any kind whatsoever by him. Tz. ,-4

President Wilson is simply observing the decent propretfes by declining to proceed with any inter na tonal conferences negotiations of any earding disarmament because the President says, that is a proper matter for the new Administration to take up. The fact that President Elect Harding expressed appreciation of the action of the President speaks itself.

THE RErERENDUM PROPOSITION

In this controversy over the city
managership there are two views
honestly taken and which ought to
be recognized as fair and honorable
by both sides.
One view Is that Mr.. Gaffney Is but
a third OF the commission; that while
he may have been chosen on the issue
OF changing city managers. the other
two-thirds was not so chosen; that
MIR Gaffney, being only a one-third
OF the commission, has no license to
overawe the other two-thirds. That
posltlon Is well taken. IL is very re-
grettable that Mr.. Notes didn't ap-
pear in the council room and vote his
choice. No one could have honestly
taken exception TO his position Some
of his associates might have felt sore
but they would have had no right 70
question his right 10 exercise his
own best judgement.
The other view Is that the recent
election showed clearly that a change
in management Is desired by the peo-
pie and that. therefore, the other
commissioners should have been
guided by e. This position, while
plausible, isn't logical for the reason
that the isue OF Sanders out or San
Jers IN was not the sole issue. There
fore the other commissioners are
within their rights IN not needing that
verdict alone
The logical and the right thing TO
have done was to have put the ques-
ton up TO the electors, II is argued
that there IS no provision in the
charter for special election. and
such Is true as far as plain PROPOSE
tion OF an election Is concerned. but
when taken In connection with the
Initiative and referendum clauses OF
The charter Il is not true. There Is
no reason why the commission could |
MT have taken advantage OF the re-
ferendum clause. The people could |
then have expressed their approval or
disapproval in definite terms. They |
would have passed on that question
alone and the other two commission
ers could then have no excuse nor
could MIR. Gaffney II the people should
stand with Sanders. III both sides
want fairness they will test the peo-
ple now.
