such experiments In the future. One
musical show organized by a popular
comedian continued less than two weeks,
with some S26 as the share OF every
participant. Even less successful was
another commonwealth which produced
a more ambitious dramatic performance.
During the ten weeks this engagement
lasted the players are said TO have re-
ceived in all less than 500. not for every
week but for the whole ten.
But managers have not the slightest
belief that the players will be any less
exacting in their demands on account

No Short Cut to Heaven, Wealth

pistol on an officer and was shot ?
He was taking a short cut to

He got his" as men say. only
little quicker than ordinary.

Third-There is no short cut to

Short Cuts Prohibited"-This is
the sermon the police department
has been preaching all summer to
the residents and visitors of Wash
ington. Every little grass plot with
its cool shade and soft green carpc
bids us step in and rest our weary
feet. but no, there stands the sign
with all the authority of the Wash
ington police behind it, short Cuts
Prohibited"
1t calls up memories OF Germany
before the war where half the things
one wanted to do were "verboten."
Two American College professors
were tramping in Prussia, and to
save time made a short cut across
a railroad track. 1t was 'verbo-
ten," of course, but they took a
chance. and there on the other side
ready to meet them stood a police
man.
Don't you know" said he. that
it is forbidden to cross railroad
track. " ny, you might nave Dcetl
killed. Now you go right back
there where you belong"
So these college professors had
to recross the track and risk their
lives second time that they
might have it impressed on them
that short cuts are .verboten.'
Has Germany Learneds
Would that Germany herself
had learned that lesson before
1914 when she attempted a short
cut to world power by trampling
on her neighbors' rights, I Won
der sometimes whether she has
learned 1t yet.
But it is a very proper sermon
that our police are preaching to us.
There is no sense in trampling
down and running our beautiful
little parks. 1t takes but a mo-
ment more to walk around-a lit
tie more physical exercise. some
thing that most of our citizens
badly need. So let the police keep
on with their preaching. and now
am going to do a little myself
