FINE MUSICAL ACTS
FEATURE AT LOEW,S
by EsTEI.I.E RETHEA HALR

Standing out prominently on bill
which is composed of many musical
acts is the offering of Bentley. Bank
and Gay. at Loew's Bijou theatre for
the first half of the week. This COM
pany is composed of talented music
ians who offer standard compost
lions, as we'll as the celebrated quar-
tet from "Rigoletti.' and their sue
cess was attested by the hearty re-
ception given them by the audience.
The act of Bobby Jarvis and COM
pany was very humorous, but the
land company" part of this act,
which is composed of three chic look
ing females, a man, and a small girl,
did much to put this act over. Jarvis
was good, however. This act was on
the closing position, but very few lett
their seats until the curtain was rung
down.

say, and almost stopped the show.
Harry and Kitty sutton presented
a humorous offering laid in per-
fume and powder shop. The female
part of the act does some very &C.
centric dancing and deserved the ap-
plause she got. Harry, dressed as a
janitor, sings sorg which starts thu
fun ball rolling.
The bill was opened by the Ray
monds, one man and two girls. This
is an offering which consists of the
iron Jaw work of one girl and the

the other girl.

IRISH QUESTION
NEARS A CLIMAX
Sir James Craig Summons
Ulster Cabinet to Consider
British Proposals

London, November THE discus
slons of an Irish settlement are near
ing a climax. After a long confer
ence with Mr.. Lloyd George today
Sir James Craig. the Ulster premier,
summoned the members of his cabi-
net from Belfast for a meeting in
London to consider the proposals
made by the British government.
The members of the Ulster cabinet
who will attend the meeting include
John Milne Barbour, the Marquis OF
Londonderry, u. N. Andrews and E.
A. Archdale. Thomas Notes win also
join the conference.
The official announcement of this
action also stated that there would
be no further conference with Mr..
Lloyd George Thursday afternoon.
The Irish situation, it was frankly
admitted in official circles is in an
extremely critical stage. 1t is under
stood that the Ulster premier in
formed Mr.. Lloyd George that he
could not possibly thing of shoulder
ing the responsibility of accepting
the proposals made to him by the
prime minister and would be COM
PEELED to consult his colleagues in the
Ulster Parliament and also the rep
resentatives of the Ulster parliament
tary group in Westminster.
Sir James Craig authorized the
statement that Mr.. Lloyd George had
consented to meet the Ulster dele
cation after their meeting with Sir
James.
Everything, 1t Is said, now depends
on Thursdays meetings, and If the
Ulster representatives definitely re-
ject the compromise proposals IL is
regarded as possible that Mr.. Lloyd
George will carry out his threat to
resign from office.
According to reports at late hour
tonight the serious official view re-
garding, the negotiations is due to
the stiff attitude taken by the Ulster
premier in his interview with the
prime minister. Sir James is rep
resented as intimating his firm de-
termination to maintain listers posi-
ton and he is said to have signified
that in his opinion the proposals
which Mr.. Lloyd George submitted to
him seriously imperilled the rights
of northern Ireland. In any case, he
would concede nothing on his own
responsibility.

HAIR DRESSER'S TIPS

c OMETIMES my hair dresser grows o talkative, and then she tells me all sorts of interesting and useful things about the hair, things based on her wide and personal experience, things too valuable to be lost in the tiny room where she yields brush and vibrator and where she juggles tall bottles of sweet smelling oils.
 "The average woman is too harsh with her hair" she said the other day. Either she brushes 1t furi- ously, or she doesn't brush it at all ; either she slicks over it when wash ing, or she washes the life from it."
 "Not all scalps can stand tar soap, though it Is good soap. But it is harsh. I use coconut oil, be- cause it is mild and cleansing and nourishing; 1t is dandruff pre- ventive, and 1t will not hurt the most sensitive scalp. I use 1t for all colors of hair, except cases where there is too much natural oil and then use soap with the least bit of borax in its makeup. If for any reason ! fun short of coconut oil, I use olive oil or castillo soap.

'I guess l wasn't scared" boasted Brown Spider q just wanted a ride; that was all. I went part way downstairs on her back and then Jumped off. It was great sport. Why don't you try 1t some day2"
 It was no use; he would never own he was beaten or scared; but one day something happened that the old spid- CTS felt sure he would have to own he did not plan and was really fright ened.
 Fuss came into the attic and after hunting around she fell asleep right under the shelf where Brown Spider had a web. He let himself down and touched the tip of her nose and be- fore she could open her eyes up he went to his web.
 But after a while he grew careless. He touched her nose, and then instead of running home he swung back and forth in front of her face hanging to his thread.
 Fuss is very quick with her paw. She seldom misses anything she wishes to strike. She opened her eyes and looked at Brown Spider a second and then she lifted her paw and struck.
 The next thing Brown Spider re- membered he was on the top of a high old bureau.
 He tried all of his legs and found they were safe and then he said, for he knew every spider in the attic was looking at him. That is the finest way to travel, when you are in hurry. I wanted to get up here and so I just dangled In front of Fuss tO get her to give me lift"
 No one said a word. They were too much surprised; but Brown Spider climbed over the edge of the bureau and made his web this time far above the floor by the window. He really had been frightened. But I won't let those old fellows know it," he said.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT? By C. N. Lurie
 Common Errors in English and How to Avoid Them
"oFF OF"

THE use of the phrase which heads 1 this article leads often to errors that are seen to be ludicrous, when analysed. For example, one will hear the question: Where did you buy that steak?" The answer comes: q got it off of the butcher around the corner To get a steak of of the butcher might suit a cannibal very we'll but the very idea would shock any one else. In proper usage, omit the "off ;" say: 'I got it of Cor from) the butcher around the corner"
 There are cases of the misuse ot the phrase of of" that are not lu dicrous, as in the instance already cited, but in which the "of" is not needed and instead of saying, "He jumped off of the car" say, "He jumped off the car" man who ex- poets to open store says: twill you buy something off of mel" He should say: twill you buy something from mel"
