HUMOR IN BLUE KITTEN
FURNISHED BY CHORUS

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-CU. P.)-Tne
'lue Kitten has been so enthusiastic
ally received at the Sclwyn Theatre

in the lap of popularity and enjoy 4
rich saucer of financial cream for
some time
Since it has gone over so big. 1t
might he all right to ask a few ques-
tions WAS always one to get the
straight of things.
Lillian Lorraine, the beautequs, is
co-star with Joseph tawthorn. Only
recently Miss Lorraine was released
from plaster cast after having been
almost fatally injured in an accident.
1t was reported her back was broken.
Public interest was sympathetic and
aesthetic. For Miss Lorraine is cer-
tainlv easy To look upon. But what
want to know is this. Does Miss Lor-
raine give her complete back exposure
and Il unique and pretty complete
front exposure just to put the public
mind at rest If 50 we are convinced
that Lillian suffered no blemishes.
Congratulations, Lillian!
Then again there's something else.
Just because Marian Sunshine has n
shiny name, is it necessary TO wear
shiny makeup Miss Sunshine looks
ns though she had been vanished.
Then, too, won't someone answer:
| Why Is Il chorus man?

SENATOR MCUMBER'S FREAK
TARIFF EXHIBIT is AMUSING
Following the Old P. T. Barnum Axiom That People
Like to be Humbugged- Senator Caraways Sa-
trical Remarks-Stuation Summed Up

lima, (Mr Simmons) that it is ap-
propriate for a party which has
! become so absolutely helpless that
the papers of its own faith are de-
nouncing it for it's incompetency to
open. show here in the Senate
with a cuckoo and conclude it with
monkey. They are SO typical. SO
entirely typical, of the capacity and
the performances of the party, | am
/ sure that the, people who elected
them will appreciate that they have
run true to form"
The contention of the Republi-
can Senators who made the freak
tariff exhibit was that these ar
ticles were purchased for a few cents
on the other side. mostly in Ger
many, and sold over here for dol
lars, and that therefore in order
to protect the American manufactur-
er high tariff duty was necessary
Hc Cuthoo-CiOCh Will serve as an
illustration for the catch" and the
trick in these exhibits. The clock
, is said to have cost "a cents in
Germany. retailing here for $1,000,
/ or at a profit of 2,240 per cent.
Just how such a clock could con-
tinue to compete at these prices
with clocks made in the United
States was not Of course made
clear. The trick is in the exchange
on Germany. The cost price as stated
is at the present value of the Ger
man mark i'll American money.
while it is practically certain that
the clock was bought for import
months ago when the mark was
worth three, four or five times as
much as it is worth now.
Another phase of this trick show
ought to have great interest for
the American people. If it were
literally true that an article cost
ing "a cents or an approximate
sum, is being sold at retail for ap-
proximately $22; if knife said to
have cost Z cents is being sold at
retail for SIS, it is obvious that
somebody is profiteering, and that
the freak tariff show, staged by
the Republican tariff thinkers and
sleight-of-hand men in the Senate,
should have been staged in the Of
flee OF the Attorney General and
the exhibits marked for the grand
jury SO that by that terror of prof
iteers and eyil-doers. Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty, could be as success

Washington, June 29.-All of
Washington, except in official cir
cles and presumably the country at
large is having quiet laugh at
Senator McCumber's freak tariff ex-
hibit in the Senate The Chairman
Of the Finance Committee seems to
have followed the old p. T. Barnum
axiom that "the people like to be
humbugged' Sc he staged tariff
exhibition with trick exhibits. Prac-
tically none of the articles exhibited
except table cloth. some napkins,

use among the people. AS freaky as
some of the exhibits were, the most
marvellous and startling are yet to

The cuckoo referred to was in

was the exhibitor, and when Senator
John Sharp Williams tickled the
clock under the chin to make the
cuckoo appear the whole durn thing
collapsed
'The cuckoo" Senator Caraway
explained, "is a bird which lays eggs
in some other birds nest, and how
appropriate it is to open a tariff
discussion with cuckoo. They next
opened with a monkey"
When Senator Pomerene with rare
Indulgence in facetiousness inquired.
"where is the n-grinder?" Sena-

Nessage Sent Out.

Washington, June 29.-Invitations
went out from the White House yes
terday asking the leaders of the
striking miners and the representa-
tives of the employing coal opera
tors in both the bitumin0us and an
thracite fields of the United States
to meet President Harding ''to de-
wise methods upon which negotia-
tions for the settlement of the coal
strike can be initiated"
The communications made evident
that careful and complete discussions
with spokesmen on both sides of the
industrial struggle preceded the
meeting call, and prompt and ready
acceptances are expected Immediate
fy.
John l.. Lewis, chief of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, who remained in
the city after a personal interview
with the president, accepted at once
in behalf of the union.
To Discuss Plans for Settlement,
message is interpreted as demon
strating the desire of the admins
tration to hold the meeting above
the controversies which have dead
locked the unionized section of the
industry since April l, Official
comment emphasized that it is the
intention that the conference should
be held merely to discuss ways and
means for a settlement and not to
take up the miners demands for
continuance of wartime wage scales,
nor the operators demands in the
bituminous field for separate district
wage agreements supplanting the
semi-national wages that heretofore
have been made 1t is fully expect
ed. however. that when the meeting
assemblies the president or his cabi-
net members who have participated
in the preliminary conference viii
have a program for continuation of
the settlement attempt to present to
the assemblaGe.

conducted the negotiations with the

if no agreement was reached a tech
nical dispute might be announced
over which the Railroad Labor
Board, acting under authority OF
the transportation act, could take
Jurisdiction, as it did in the Big
Four brotherhoods' strike last year
and act to prevent a walkout.
The other was that if the strike
is called, the board could also take
jurisdiction under the act, on the
ground that the strike would inter
rupt commerce and order the status
quo maintained-in other words or
der the men back to work.
Ben w. Hooper, chairman of the
board, refused to comment on these
two possibilities last night. The ac-
tion of the board in the threatened
strike last October was interpreted
as representing the board position
on the first possibility. and since

which the shop men cast their strike

was said to be some doubt as to
whether the majority of the roads,
which have refrained from con-
