Has a Funny Face

Dear Sir: Herewith are two recent
pnotos of myself, taken within min
ute of each other. One is my natural
SELF; the other shows what | can ill.,
stantly do with my face even without
the help of makeup. Whoever sees
1t goes into uncomfortable fits of
laughter. Is an ability to do tits sort
OF thing, and to keep it up for any
tDhe, required in character acting"
likely to be of any use to you? If it
always causes instant mirth among my
own acquaintances (no matter how
melancholy they may have been feel
mg), possibly it might be worth while
introducing to the lider circle of the
pubic" But may 1 be allowed, from
the beginning (if such should be my
toTtune), to bar having blanc-mange
thrown at it, or myself being dropped
In the mud or rolled downstairs, as
am not a gymnast in any form. Seri-
ousiy face like this might be just
such as you require for some quiet and
quaint really humorous character

BORAH WANTS WAR
 PRISONERS FREED
General Amnesty Is Wish Of Idaho Senator, Expressed to Harding

Washington, June 3o.--senator DorAh (rep., Idaho) sent a letter to- day 10 President Harding urging clemency for all political prisoners still serving sentences. and indicated he would soon move consideration of the senate resolution granting gen. cral amnesty.
 The letter, written in advance of the commutation this week of the sentences Of live of those prisoners, insists the reasons given by the president for committing the sentenc. of Eugene V. Debs are even more ap- plicable to the remaining cases
 Senator Borah told the president he had spent much time looking into the facts and felt certain that if MT. Harding had found time to do the same, You would come to the same conclusion - that these prisoners should be released"
 Some of the sentences imposed" :" Senator Borah wrote, ''arc absurdly cruel and unusual and could only have been imposed under the spirit and strain of war. Some of the facts upon which sentences were passed are so vague and inadequate that no jury or court would regard them as sufficient for punishment in time of peace.
 T feel most sincerely that the records do not warrant further pun tshment. l think. too, it perfectly proper to take into consideration the families of these prisoners. The cause of justice will be served and the sense of right strengthened by giving these parties their liberty"
 The five prisoners whose sentences were connmuted this week to expire at once were: Charles Plahn, national or ganizer, I. w. w.; Olen E. Anderson, publicity agent, northwest lumber strike in 1917; W. H. Benefield, cot ton grower. Sasakawa, Okla; Clyde Hough.
