SIR HARRY TRIMS SIR THOMAS OUT
 OF SOME SELLER

New York, Sept. 2S-That braw. braw Scotchman, Harry Lauder-he and canny wit-is back in America with three new songs, a wad of phil 'osophy packed comfortably away in his long-stemmed pipe and a firm ing to be inveigled into another war.
 He won a bet on the way over. which added considerably to his good cheer. It was with his old friend. Sir Thomas Jpton, and the stakes were fourpence halfpenny to nine pence that the Mauretania, bearing the comedian, would beat the Baltic which brought the yachtsman over. It did, although Sir Harry lost a pre- ciouS sixpence when he went down to the boiler room to urge the firemen to speed up. He was so pleased when the Mauretania reached port first that he gave the fremen five pound for a library.
 "Pm feelin' fine an dandy" Sir Harry, volunteered as he lighted his bassador and prepared for the usual grilling.
 Here's Good News.
 "An' you needna be tellin' me it's ma last trip, for it's the first O eigh- teen yet tae come. In fac, if feel as well as I dae moo, I don't see any prospect O ever stoppin'."
 This time Sir Harry is bound for the South Sea Islands, Australia and New Zealand. He. will tour the United States thoroughly first, taking in the small towns as well cities, for the little toons want me and think it's ma jooty to visit them. tae," he says.

 Doubts There'Il Be War.
 Sir Harry was serious but optlm1suc when questioned on the trouble in the Near East.
 II think the situation verra dis quieting" he said. There was nc sign of war when I left, but we nae quick march! and ava they go.

I believe there are men in Turkey educated enough to consider this thing aroun the table O intelligence"
 Sir Harry thinks censorship of thc stage is all right, provided the censors are not narrow, bigoted people. II is his own boast that none of his songs has ever come before the cen sorship council of Great Britain.

The Dangers that Lie
 in Our Birth Rate

Until recently there had not been, at least for hundreds of years, any marked tendency in7the civilized coun- tries for one class to reproduce more rapidly than another. For centuries the average mental endowment of the European and American peoples had held it's own. But within the last fifty years a change of sinister portent has taken place. Intellectually superior families are no longer reproducing as rapidly as formerly. Their birth rate is already far below that of the socially incompetent. The average Predetermined individual leaves two or three times many offspring as the average college graduate. This biological catacIysm, silent but none the less fateful, is rapidly spreading to all civilized countries. If the diff ferential character of our birth rate continues, the day is not many cen turies removed when the only surviv- ing stock will be that descended from the least desirable of our present-day population. Granted that this stratum may have considerable potentia1ities which have not been developed, the prospect at best is not alluring- Lewis Madison Thurman in the Worlds Work for October.

 Only the mammoth capacity of the Palace. a playhouse Of four thousand seats, makes it possible for this 'com- peny and some idea of the cost of presentation may be judged from the fact that Madame, Miura who. sings the title role is under an iron bound contract which calls for a payment of one thousand dollars each time she sings an opera.
 The immense seating capacity of the Palace allows for a popular price scale Of admission, in fact the opera Madame Butterfly will be played at te lowest admission prices in the his tory of the San Carlo Opera com pany. All seats are now on sale at the box office and mail orders will be filled in the order of their receipt. Owing to the capacity of the Palace there are many. good seats left de spite the big demand from all over the state for seats

An event in singing circles comes with the presentation at the PoH Pal ace. Bridgeport's new million dollar playh ouse, on next Sunday afternoon, of "Mada Butterfly" Puccini's fa- nous opera. by the San Carlo Grand Opera company which will come di- rect from the Century Theatre, New York where they are now having a. phenomenally successful four weeks run and will be the only presentation possible. Made so through the enter prise of MT. and Mrs. S.. z. Poli and the cooperation and courtesy of For tune Gallo of the San Carlo company.
 To bring a nentire operatic organ ization for one performance, a cast of more than 125 and whole train load of scenery, costumes and all else, Is a mammoth undertaking, but it has been promised. and will be faith fully adhered to-

Avoid Indigestion. Sour Acid stomach

Indigestion and practicaIIv al forms

Indigestion and practically all forms OF

Of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
Chronic 'aCid stomach" is exceedingly
dangerous and sufferers should do either
one of two things.
Often they can 60 on a limited and

vent the formation of gas, sOurness or
premature fermentation by the use OF a
little Bisurated Magnesia ar their meals
There is probably no better. safer or
more reliable stomach aritiacid than
Bisurated Magnesia and Il is widely used
for this purpose. II has no direct action
on the stomach and is not a digestent
But a teaspOOnful OF the powder OF a
couple Of five grain tablets taken In
little water with the food will neutralize
the excess acidity which may be present
and prevent its further formation This
removes the whole cause Of the trouble
and the meal digests naturally and
healthfully without need Of pepsin pills
or artificial digestents.
Get few ounces OF Bisur1ted Magnesia
from any reliable druggist. Ask for
either powder or tablets. IL never comes
as a liquid. milk or citrate and in the
bisurated form is not a laxative. Try
this plan and eat what you want at your
next meal and see II this isn't the best
advice you ever had on what TO eat

HORO S CO. e
By GsReVtsVs KembIe

Strongly adverse conditions rule
on this day, according TO the lunar
transits as we'll as the mutual as
poets. 1t is a day for working quiet
~ and patiently along the lines of
least resistance. Those in the en-
ployment of others should be par
ticularly careful lest they give Of
fence to superiors. A similar anX-
ious and unfavorable state holds
sway in domestic, social and affec
tional matters, Venus being under
lunar affliction.
Those whose birthday il is have
the presage of an anxious and per-
picking year, both in business and
domestic affairs. They should pur-
sue their coure quietly. and take
care not TO put their business in
jeopardy. A child born on this day
should be given careful training in
tenacity and perseverance, in order
that it may be fitted to cope with OBJ
stacles with fortitude and courage.

Reclamation Land For
Ex-SerDice Men Plan
Referendum Now Being Con-
Quoted Among Legion
Members
United Press Di,spatch.l

Chicago, January 27.-Reclamation
land for ex-service men is the sub
ject of a referendum being conduct
ed among Its members by the Cham
Der of Commerce of the Unitei
States.
Announcement of the referendum
was made here today by Walter du
Brookings, Washington, secretary of
a committee of that organization
which is studying the reclamation
question. The committee is headed by
X. Il. Meredith, Des 49, Ines, Ia, for
mer secretary of agriculture.
The committee II the referendum is
favorable, will prepare a complete
plan for a national reclamation sys-
tenn and will submit same to the fed
eral government. Returns on the re-
ferendum are expected within sixty
days.
The proposition submitted requires
immediate federal appropriations to
initiate reclamation projects upon
which veterans who desire to go into
tunity. The proposition does not in
dicate whether the federal funds
should be used by foreign agencies
for the construction of federal pro-
jects or should be advanced in the
form of loans to states or state agen-
cies.
No decision has been reached on
the question whether the federal gov
erpment should act by itself or CO.
operately with the states, but it is
reported that the CO operation system
is the most favored by the committee.
The voting in the referendum is
upon the general question whether
there should be q national system of
reclamation to be initiated through
adequate federal appropriations and
to be carried out for the purpose of
enabling ex- service men to- have o1-
portunity to cultivate the soil.
Reclamation lands are available in
all parts of the United States, &C
cording to Secretary Brookings, who
declared that the committee plans
that the federal policy shall include
irrigation, drainage stump and aban-
doned farm lands in its program.

yesterday OF the thirteenth annual
convention OF the organization in
Minneapolis. Several companies al
ready have been forced to stop OPP
Grafton by this electrical interfer
ence and others soon will have to, he
said, unless agreement between pow
err companies and telephone com
panies can be made. If the companies
cannot effect solution, the matter
will have to go to the courts, Mr..
Greayes said.
"An but the largest telephone com
panies are Of grounded line construc-
ton. They have one wire and the re-
turn current is carried through the
ground" he said 1.-THE power com
panies. send tl1ir current through the
ground and the telephone circuit alb
