THE SWEETHEART SHOP"


uesque Greek maiden in the new
musical comedy, The Sweetheart
Shop" to be seen at the Oliver for
two days, starting Friday night,
May 81, with a matinee Saturday,
has taken up the ancient sport or
javelin throwing and is one of the
most expert and enthusiastic de-
voices OF the sport.
Javelin throwing has become a
fixed sport among the standards of
our athletic associations and col
leges and it is gaining popularity
among the women who enjoy ath-
letics
1T would be hard to find more in
teresting sport than this" says the
actress. I'm the traditional sense,
the javelin is interesting because 1t
is so ancient and was once so uni
versally used. The javehn is light
enough to be thrown by any nor
nal woman without danger of
strain. The effects of this sport are
similar to any form of throwing
only more pronounced, and the
iavelin is thrown with the left as
much as with the right hand, and II
special exercises, such as rowing
swimming or exercising with ar
elastic exerciser, while facing the
machine, are practiced regularly
with it, this ST ort viii prove most
interesting way of developing and
preserving a normal physique"
Miss Russell has adopted the
sport as an ideal one and intends
to take advantage Of every oppor-
tunity to indulge in it. She feel;
that the stage folk do not realize
what they are missing until they ado
to their outdoor sports this idea
one.

OLIVER.

Original dances that have never
been seen on the screen are executed
by Mae Murray in her newest Para
mount picture. THE Gilded Lily,
which is now running at the Oliver
II is said Miss Murray spent many
weeks preparing the dances and they
have been reproduced on the screen
so satisfactorily as TO be one of the
features of the production. In The
Gilded Lily Miss Murray plays the
role of Lillian Drake, hostess OF a
popular New York private club,
and her dances, done in one of the
most lavish cabaret sets ever built
for the screen, are most attractive.
One is an adaptation Of a Spanish
dance in which Miss Murray wears
a modified Carmen costume, with
dress of unusual cut made entirely
of spangles and the other is bub-
BILE dance for which the cabaret IS
decorated with all kinds of bal
looms. Miss Murray, in a sensation

stunts with a large white balloon

MAKING UNCLE SAM THE GOAT

The Federal government owns and
operates several barge lines on the
Mississippi and Warrior rivers. They
were undertaken because private
capital was reluctant to assume the
risk involved in a new and undemon-
strated commercial venture. The
lines have made good, are making
money, and, according to the New Or
leans Picayune, "are emphasizing
themselves more and more as factor
of economy in transportation"
The initiative of the government
averted serious congestion at the port
of New Orleans and saved unnumber-
ed thousands of dollars to the citizens
of that section.
1t is natural to assume, therefore,
that the government is entitled to
the grateful appreciation of those it
has benefited, and that they should
desire that the existing satisfactory
situation be continued indefinitely.
Foolish assumption!
The New Orleans Association OF
Commerce, directing attention to Pres
ident Harding's announced policy OF
taking government out of business, is
out with statement 10 Cne eIIecl
that these profitable lines must be
turned over to private interests.
Not juts now, but little later, for
the Association Of Commerce says
much still remains to be done in the
way of development. Adequate termi
nails of the proper kind and in suf
ficient numbers must be created, rate
relations must be worked out, anC
other big obstacles overcome before
the foundation on which private
capitol would be willing to build i!
laid"
There you have in a few words the
whole philosophy of the privileged in
terests that dictate the policies O.
government. The people are to tax,
all the chances up to the point wher'
enterprise is profitable and then mus
step out and turn over a going bust
ness to those who make up Chamber
Of Commerce.
And the worst of it is that thi
philosophy is being translated into ;
concrete political program.

THE OPEN SHOP AT HOME

A living example of the iniqultous
results of the open shop movement IS
furnished by the policy pursued by
the president of one of NeWarks IN
dustries. This gentleman is entitled
TO be classed among the leading
spirits in the wage-cutting epidemic
now spreading over the country. Inc
factory alluded to manufactures a TOY
IN furnish amusement to the well-to-
do citizens whose time hangs heavily
on their hands while their employees
are sweating out their lives to fur-
nish bread for wives and children
This plaything, by the way, is sald TO
return a net profit of several hundred
per cent over it's original cost.
Now this genial, courteous and port
w gentleman, who last spring started
new workmen at forty cents an houf'
decided to inaugurate a system OF
wage cutting, and accordingly 1t Is
alleged, began to gradually drop ms
men, at the same time giving orders
to start new employees at thirty cents
Work being scarce and times hard
the vacant Jobs were soon filled. En-
boldened by his success this modern
Shylock decided to go still further
in his blood sucking tactics and cut
wages for new men to twenty-five
cents an hour; and recently, 1t Is
said, his narrow soul prompted a
third cut and the poor devils VINO
now start to work for him are re-
ceiving the princely sum of twenty
cents an hour God only knows how
much longer the thing will continue
perhaps until a premium will be neces-
sary to get job at his plant.
This is just one example OF the
usual result of the open shop plan
advocated by a few, and thank God
q very few, of Newark's would-be
self-styled leading business men,
whose departure from this earthly
sphere would be missed by no one eX-
cept their own immediate families
and in some instances even the family
would not pray very strenuously toi
their return if such were possible.

A LESSON IN AMERICANISM

It took a Socialist Mayor to ad-
minister a lesson in Americanism to a
self-styled hundred per center. The
per center was "Soap Box" Jack o.
Brien, who is touring the country un-
der the auspices of the constitutional
Defense League" His speciality is
knocking the stuffing out of Social
ism. The Socialist Mayor was John
H. Gibbons, of Lackawanna, N. Y.
1t all happened few weeks ago
when O'Brien asked Mayor Gibbons
for a permit to speak on the streets
of Lackawanna.
Didn't you ever read the Constitu-
ton of the United States ?" inquired
the Mayor, "where it says Congress
Enlistment of religion, or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof; or abridg-
ing freedom of speech or of the press
or the right of people to peaceably
assemble, or to petition the govern
ment for redress of grievances Z"
And then he added: eco ahead and
talk your head off"
Mayor Gibbons gave orders to the
Lackawanna police force to protect
Socialist-killer O'Brien in the exer-
else of his constitutional rights to per-
nit all who desired to ask him ques-
tions.
Of course the officers at the head
of the American Legion are against
the "un-American" Socialist. But we
have a suspicion that the rank and
file of the people of the United States
will call Socialist Mayor Gibbons a
better American than than the hood
lums who mob speakers, kidnap
women, and indulge in tar and feather
parties.
The Socialists of America are rather
proud of Mayor Gibbons brand of
Americanism at the present time
Reading Labor Advocate.

GENERAL LABOR NEWS.

Twenty-four states pay wages to
prisoners confined in penal institu-
tions.
Eighty-f1ve per cent Of shingle mills
in British Columbia were closed when
the 1000 workers struck In protest
against a reduction in wages. One
half of the strikers are said to be
Chinese.
The United Association Of Plumbers
and Allied Trades unanimously adopted
resolutions for an international eight
hour day, with a half holiday on Sat
urday. A proposal to elect officers by
q referendum vote was defeated.
With the acceptance by the en-
ployees Of a cut In their present wage
scale amounting to approximately 22
per cent, the long standing differences
between the International Longshore-
mems Association on the one hand
and the United States Shipping Board
and the American Steamship Owners
Association on the other, have been
adjusted.
On Sept. 1, 1921, private American
ship yards were building or under
contract to build for private ship
owners 1853 steel vessels of 581 ,63l
gross tons. compared with 179 steel
vessels Of 645,224 gross tons on May
2, 1921. These figures do not include
government ships or ships building or
contracted for by the United States
shipping board.
The new South Wales Textile Work
ers' union proposes converting the old
Parramatta Jail buildings into woolen
mills and to establish company to be
known as the Cooperative WOolen
Mills, with a capital Of $972,OOO. 1t is
intended to manufacture the whole Of
the woolen goods required by the
government, to be ultimately con-
verted into clothing for the police
force and other government employees.
Arbitration Of differences with en-
ployers and resort to strike only where
the latter refuse to settle questions
through arbitration was recommended
by W. d. Mahon, president Of the
National Association Of Street and
Electric Railway Employees OF
America. In making his biennial re-
port to the convention, President
Mahon declared a strike "creates
public opinion which usually compels
arbitration In the end, so that the
part Of wisdom and good public policy
is to arbitrate in the beginning"
Thomas F. Mcmahon, Of Providence,
r. l., was unanimously chosen pres
ident Of the United Textile Workers
of America, succeeding John Golden.
Mr.. Mcmahon, who was vice-president
Of the organization, has been acting
president since Mr.. Golden's death.
Frank McKosky, Of Philadelphia, was
elected first vtce-president. Mrs,
Sarah A. Conboy was reelected secre-
tary-treasurer.

Of the San Juan valley.

MAN WHO REPEATED WHAT

Georgia, told the senate that a man
is serving a 10-year prison sentence
in Iowa for repeating what Watson
said in a speech.

should be in the senate and l in

"We required the liberation of eight
Americans before we permitted a
spoonful of food to go to the starv-
ing children in Russia, and we re-
quire the release of prisoners by Ger
many, but our Jail doors do not open
to the men and women who dared tell
what they believed to be the truth
about the war. Americans remain
political prisoners, because they

it was unconstitutional to draft men

SELLING" YOUR TOWN

Nowadays before selesmen are
placed on the road by any of our
larger concerns they are given a
course in craftsmanship. They are
first made acquainted with the article
they are to sell, they are given its
talking points, or made to see its
worth and value to the customer, and
then they are allotted their territory.
Selling a town is pretty much like
selling goods. You must know first of
all the advantages of your town, you
must be able to tell the outside world
what it has in the way of advantages
and then you must dwell on these
talking points. Your territory is large,
for any place in the world you go
you can spend few minutes selling"
your town-which means nothing else
but boosting it,.
Citizens should learn the great ad-
vantage to be derived from being able
to point out the manifold advantages
of a residence here, of telling others
exactly why they prefer to live here
to having a home anywhere else. The
who does talk up his town is always
admired, no matter in what part of
the country he may be or in what COM
pany he is thrown. Hometown pride
is the first indication of good citizen
ship, and people who hear you reciting
the merits of the place in which you
live naturally take it that all the other
citizens are doing the same thing, and
that it is a good place in which to
live or in which to do business. Start
out now to "sell' your town, wher-
ever you go. Learn it's advantages,
learn to tell about them in an in
teresting way, and edge right in at
every opportunity and tell about these
advantages.

The Country Girl the Best wife

To the Editor Of the Bucnin0 Public Ledger!
Sir--It Il very interesting for the girls
from the rural district TO read in the Phila-
deiphia papers the letters regarding mar
riage. divorce. the kind of women that
make the best wives what Is expected OF
husband. etc. All these things do not enter
into our life. and It Is very rarely that you
read Of country girl applying for d.
vor"e or OF a country girl suing man for
breach OF promise.
II is never necessary to do either We
country girls are built on a different plan.
The trouble is only too few OF the city boys
ever take the trouble to discover us or to
make inquiry as to our good qualities and
our eligibility as wives II Is not very good
form. might hear you say. for one Of the
country girls TO speak for hPr class, but
do so without hesitancy, for every one who
knows US will fully appreciate that what I
say is the truth.
In the hrst place although comparisons
may be invldious. as rule. the country girl
has the following qualifications over her
city sister: She Is better versed in the things
that go TO make culture. She reads more,
Is better educated and Why For the same
reason that most OF our great men have
come from the country. The country girl
does not spend the great amount OF time
that the city g!rl spends in making up her
face and figure TO be attractive; instead tho
country girl is developing her mind during
thls period She doesn't have to make up
plies her with the cosmetics that her sister
has to try and initiate in the Philadelphia
drug store
Again, the country girl is sensible. She
does not expect more than man 10 able
70 provide for her she invariably Is not a
spoiled child. Her wants are few in COM
parison with the city girl. She has never
acquired the habit OF "sadding': eonse.
quently she makes man a good homo COM
panion. She Is able TO cook: consequently
her husband will have the advantage OF
well and whoieEomc.y prepared meals She
10 able TO sew and knit and do everything
tEat 10 required OF the feminine and yuv
never hear her complain OF her lot
On, ye young men who are thinking Of
marrying come out and look US country
gir!s over! But remember. we are able TO
discern, and II you are not OF the right sort
we can detect It In minute. The country
girl, let me tell you. Is a closer student o.
human nature than the city slrl | would
Ike 10 hear from some city boy who ha.
married a country girl. and see II he doest ,
agree with me that they leave tho city girls
lar IN the rear when It comes to everything
mat goes 70 the making OF a good wife and
home companion. r
