NEW YORK. June 14.--Now that
the radio craze has New York en-
tirely in its grip, the wags are
beginning to get busy with sugges-
tions on the how and why of the
fad, with the result that some more
or less entertaining concoctions
have resulted. Marcel Steinbrugge
Is sponsor for sample program
which runs somewhat as follows:
p. m.-Lecture on how to get
the money to get a radio outfit.
That includes battery. dials. var,o-
meters. headsets. torpedo plug
(rigid construction). load coils,
loud speakers, two-step amplifers.
receivers. tubes, etc. Go and use
your neighbor's radio and listen at
tentively. Perhaps your neighbor
will sell you his.
p. m.-Concert by the Girls
Orchestra of Xenia, Ohio, but you
do not see the girls.
p. m.-Lecture by expert hus-
band on What Excuses to Make
During the Spring Season"
p. m.-Shipping news. What
are you going to ship?
p. m.-Lecture by DIR. Wilson
Optimo on Nutrition" Can you
afford to buy what he recommend?
And just think. women used to
refuse to go places because they
didn't have anything to wear.
Twelve baby elephants imported
for show purposes face starvation.
Report says the peanut crop Is
failure this year.
1t may be true and then again
II may not. At any rate. Raymond
Hitchcock is supposed to be the
author OF sure thing" system for
winning at the races. At this time
when goodly percentage of
Gotham Is interested in the re-
suits at Belmont Park. "Hitchy's"
little treaties may not come in
amiss. So here goes. Says
Hitch:
"As far as ! can see. there are
only four certain ways of not los
ing money on the races. The frst
is to have nothing to do with them,
the second is to be a starting price
bookmaker. the third is to BE- a
to he a sporting journalist who
does not bet. II is true that there
is large fraternity of professional
hackersi who apparently live by
the racecourse. How these people
live and what is their mental
anxiety year in and year out IL is
given to few to know or under
stand. Probably you can count
upon the fingers Of one hand those
who after a period Of. say. ten
years have averaged on the right
side.
There are a few. a very few.
however who have been euuipped
by natrs, with a faculty for judg-
ing the capabilities of horses dur
ing their passage in a race. These
fortunate ones either become han
dicappers or the only successful
punters.' In the former circum-
stances they may be well paid: in
the latter they become totally
different type OF raceGoer from the
average innocent who keeps the
bookmaker's home fires burning.
These men are the Geniuses of the
turf and are few and far between,
and they possibly only bet half a
dozen time in a season. But then
the stake is large"
Musings of cynic:
believe vacations are great
things. 1t always seems SO good to
get back home.
l believe that most of the old
/ frumps who spend their time knock
| ing young women of today do so
from a spirit of jealousy.
don't know how some of the
screen stars" manage to put it
over, and l don't suppose l will
ever find cut.
/ think il was very catty of a GER
tain former actress to tell the
world that Mary Pickford was a
fellow patient of hers at face
stretching beauty hospital.
l have no hesitancy III saying that
I Bull Montana is my favorite male
, celluloid actor. He looks like a
| regular man.
| don't believe Dempsey is enti-
tied to s5O0,000 for a few minutes
work in the ring, and Furthermore,
l don't believe he will get it.
| don't believe any individual is
creater than the institution he
works for. even if he did help build
1t up. and ! have never seen an in
stiution fail because one of these
important individuals quit.
.Toupee or not toupee-that is the
question. Whether It's nobler in
the mind to suffer the slings and
arrows of plain-speaking BARRIERS,
or to take arms against a pair of
scissors and by opposing, end them
To part, to comp no more; and by
comb to say we end the tonics
! and the thousand natural fakes that
flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consumma-
tion devoutly to be wished. To
comb. to brush: to brush, perchance
to shanpoo-aye. there's the rub.
For in that dearth of locks what
hopes may come. when we have
suffled off this BARRIERS chair. must
give us wigs. Thus badness does
make towards of US all.
