A CLEVER STORY
IN BARRIE'S PLAN.

IN 1lI-1I .
Kate, one Of the leading characters
in the Barrie play 'The Twelve Pound
Look" which will be given Friday
evening at $50 at the high school
auditorium by the Dramatic Club, Is
a most interesting young woman,
who finds herself in a most interest
ing situation. She left her husband,
whose fault was that he was too sue
cessful, and fourteen years later finds
herself called to his house in the ca
pacity of a typist. She despises her
former husband. Sir Harry, and all
his silly luxuries. She laughs quietly
to herself throughout the interview
with the pompous, self satisfied gen.
tleman, who was her husband. His
littleness, the narrowness of his Wis
ion on life are laughable to her ex-
Icept in a few moments when they
seem pitiful.
Mrs. Elmer Oettinger plays. the
part of Kate. Mr.. ]. Shep Bryan takes
the role of Sir Harry. Mrs. Oettin-
ger makes Kate the capable, inde-
pendent, clever young woman that
Barrie meant her to be. Mr.. Bryan
plays the role of conceited recently
knighted Englishman in excellent
manner. The program for Friday ev-

Aside from this he summarized the

ULSTER AND SOUTH IRELAND

ULSTER AND SOO1h AnEAfA->D
The situation between Ulster and
South ireland, and the refusal OF the
former to join with the latter for one
government for that country is very
much the same in principle as We
have applied to the Filipinos, namely
that peoples should not be allowed
10 govern themselves until they
have reached the mental and moral
condition to be able to do so.
Sir James Craig. Premier of Ul-
ster firmly believes that South Ire
land is not capable at this time OF
self government. 1t may reach that
stage at some time, and then the two
sections Of Ireland may agree to join
governments, but not now. He is
quoted as saying:
81 do not say that Ulster will new
er accept an all-Ireland council.
though the Sim Fein says it will
never accept any other scheme" Sir
James is quoted as saying. What
we say is: Let the Sim Fein first
prove it's ability to govern itself
along constitutional lines. Let 1t
win listers confidence by practical
proof of its fairness and, impartial
ity toward the Southern Unionists.
Then, in the course of time, the two
Irish government might coalesce of
their own free wills.
II can not say whether this would
be good or bad; of that l am not
convinced. 1t might be very bad,
for while Ulster remains a part of
the United Kingdom, England can
always land troops in Ireland by way
Of Ulster if Great Britain's safety is
isopardized by any cause affecting
Irish harbors or coasts.
If Ulster conceded all the Sim
Fein's demand" the interview con-
tinued, 1.-The whole world would
throw it's hats in to the air in a fren-
zy of joy and relief. There would
be worldwide thanksgiving services
in the churches mad wonderful scenes
OF happiness. But England would
then Danish Ireland from it's mind,
and turn its thoughts to it's own prob
lems, and if the Slnn Fein began to
oppress Ulster under the all-Ireland
council, England wuold then answer
listers complaints by saying: You
accepted the council; you must mall
age your own affairs now" Indeed,
England would have no right to in
terfere''
Sir James was quoted as outlining
imaginary cases of oppression, such
as the enforcement of Catholic teach
ing through educational legislation
Remember, religion is behind this
historical quarrel. although little is
said in that regard he was quoted
and that is the sort of thing that
would be likely to happen
Another supposition was that
the Sim Fein, with it's lack of ex-
pefience in Industrial affairs. might
easily wreck listers important in
dustries by illconsidered legislation.
Sir James contended that the guar

Lloyd George would not protect her

cost to feed a child for a month is 81,
due to the vast amount of voluntary
services in the relief administration plus
what the Russians have been obligated
TO do in their own behalf. A full relief
OF Russia is out OF the question unless
the governments Of all the world come
in, for its magnitude is beyond the
possibility OF private charity.
At this moment the heads of the
