However, Ruth Is entitled to much.

Babe Ruth's remarkable stage pres

He Is not apparently bashful. He an
swers all of his partners leads in good
fashion. He is by no means tongue
tied. nor does he fall over his feet.
Yes, and he goes through with IL saIis

leaves him singing alone. His exit
may not be the most graceful ever, but
none who has ever seen him in base
ball game would ever expect clumsi-

Ruth's act might be the worst in
the world-which 1t most assuredly Is

'The Rose Girl" belongs to that all
too scarce type of musical offering
that II distinguished. first OF all. by
tinklins. jingling melodies that delight
the ear. a scenic equipment that pro-
vides an ocular treat. a book which.
while not approaching greatness is.
nevertheless. entertaining. and a cast
thoroughly capable and well balanced.
Then. too. It has a story which has
a real Significance to the whole. 1t
concerns the affairs of Rosebud. a
young woman whose guardian schemes
to force her into marriage with him
In order to gain control Of her estates
placed In his charge, the existence of
which she does not suspect, believing
herself a waif at the mercy Of his
bounty.
Marguerite Lamare, as Rosebud, IL
q most attractive heroine, and Is pos
sessed OF a sweet soprano, which IL
displayed to advantage in the songs
assigned to her? A. Barbour Halliday
plays opposite her in q thoroughly
manly. nkeable manner, and has a
most pleasing baritone.
While Fred Hillebrand IL the come
dian and the featured member of the
cast, one Ia more likely to classify
him as a Jester. The elongated. at
tenuated one depends principally on
sure-fire jokes Of another day, yet 1t
Is always q source of wonderment
how new these appear to a certain pro-
portion OF every audience
But Hillebrand does much to change
earlier impressions by his really clever
work in the topical song, MY New
Jersey Home" which he puts over
most effectively way down near the
end Of the program, with the assist
ance Of the polite Irene Rowan.
The real comedy of the offering was
furnished by Louis Simon, whose
name appears on the program as part
author and directorial genius, assist
ed by the bulky Shep Camp, not for
getting the every reliable Sarah Ed
ward. a trio whose capabilities will
defy the powers Of the most settled
crouch.
Harold Crane, Francis Morey and
Edna Temple are among the others
who acquit themselves most credit
ably, a full need of praise Is due Rose
and Arthur Boylan for whirlwind
dancing Of a high order.

IN BIG MAJORITY
 IN CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, July 14.-That the law profession is the stepping stone to fame for American boys is dem Onstrated by the latest edition of the Congressional Directory It shows that 275 members of the new house and 63 members of the senate are lawyers As the total membership of the house is only 435, nearly two thirds of it's entire membership are of the legal profession, while more than two-thirds of the senate are likewise qualified attorneys.
 The value of college education is also shown by the same book, for 294 house members are college men ad 65 senators claim some American college or university as their Alma Mater One member of the house, Representative J. k. Prinsey. of Oklahoma, writes proudly in his bio- graphy that he graduated with dis tinction from the University of Hard Knocks" and another member of the same body.

to Preserve Order

Ireland, is reported to have visited
Drimoleague. County Cork, after the
shooting Of two constablcs three weeks
ago, for the purpose of forming a civil
ian town guard. The commanding col
onel stationed at Bantry, is said to
have summoned the leading citizens and
explained to them that he had received
orders for the organization Of town
guard Of a dozen men between II and
45 years Of age.
The colonel said it was desirable that
the men should serve voluntarily, but
if sufficient number did not volun-
teer. the military would draft citizens.
The guard was expected to preserve
order and report to the authorities any
information relative to ambushes or
other attacks on the crown forces. If
it failed to do SO, it would be dealt with
by the military authorities.

DRYFORCES WAR
ON HAIR TONES
Some New Ones Cure
Thirst, Not Badness,
Is Claim.

New York. Feb. Ga war on con-
tents of patent medicine. perfume and
hair tonic bottles, prepared for the ice
chest rather than the medicine cab
met or dressing tables, has been start
ed by prohibition enforcement agents
here. They are being aided in their
investigation by leading drug associa-
tions.
Officials said that last year nearly
80, 100000 gallons Of grain alcohol
were consumed in the manufacture Of
these articles, or an increase of more
than 300 per cent over pre-war days.
During the last year hundreds of new
tonics and elixirs have appeared on
the market where the only excuse for
manufacture, enforcement agents said,
is to replenish diminishing private
stocks of beverage liquors.
Charles r. O'Connor, state prohibi-
ton director, said SO great had be-
come the activity of concerns manu-
featuring tonics for illegitimate pur-
poses, that the finding Of bottles had
become a problem to them. Old beer
bottles. bluing and catsup bottles, or
any sort of glass containers, were be-
ing used, he said. While the dry edict
specifies that alcohol sold for medical
purposes must be medicated, these
government agents
said, have discovered that medication
can be accomplished and still produce
a palatable drink.
