patch from Berlin which describes
dilemma from which the German Tele
graph Bureau has taken measures to ex
tricate itself
| Consider a specific transaction where
in an American in Berlin offers to til,
cable office there message for trans
mission to this country. He asks, "Hov
much?" The clerk with whom he i:
dealing must answer that question or
the spot; 1t is a cash transaction. The
clerk knows, of course, the amount o.
the toll on each end of the line the
two together constitute the total charge
Therefore he says, or used to say, sc
many marks-and the author of the dis.
patch paid that amount
So far as the German end of the trans.
action was concerned. no risk was
taken; it was up to the cable officials
to use their daily revenues to their adj
vantage. But how about the American
end: If the clerk in the German office
charged the customer so many marks
for sending the cable. would the Ameri-
can Offices share of the toll, as calcu-
lated in Berlin. be sufficient to meet the
bills coming in from this country at the
end of the week?
1t depended upon the value of the
mark at the time those bills were paid.
Unfortunately for the Germans. It is
impossible to send money-actually con-
vey it-by cable. Even if Germany
maintained fund in the United States
for meeting such obligations the very
instant they were incurred. the charges
on the American end would have to be
paid as each cable message was received
here any delay at all-one day. or Just
few hours-might make a difference
in the amount due.
For the charges on the American end
are made in terms of dollars and cents.
Consequently the Germans. when they
received the bills from the American
cable office. might find, as they almost
invariably did, that the sum they had
received, in marks, for the sending of
cables to the United States during the
week was not sufficient to meet the
American bills in terms of dollars and
cents, the value of the mark having so
greatly deprecated between the dis
patching of the messages and the re-
ceipt of those bills at the end of the
week.
As result of such experiences, the
German Telegraph Bureau is now de-
handing payment in dollars for all for
eign messages. Before this practice was
adopted the German Telegraph Bureau
was doing business at loss-the greater
the volume of business, the heavier the
loss. Now, with the dollar as the me-
dunn of exchange and the measure of
value, the bureau should be able to re-
coup, as it is reported that foreigners
in Germany are making extensive use
of the cables.

ANOTHER WHITE HOUSE DOG

A matter of signal importance to the
American electorate is broached7-or rath-
er resumed-in recent dispatch from
somewhere. The place doesn't matter
most readers have probably forgotten
it in their excitement, even if they were
calm enough to notice it at the time.
The matter pertains to the succession
of mascots at the White House.
By the way, wonder what Lac Boy
thought about when his administration
on the White House grounds was
brought to an end? Did he think that
he was the victim of an extra-constitu-
tional Interpretation of the question OF
canine succession, or that his case ought
to become a precedent? Shouldn't
somebody propose an amendment to
make the organic law conform to prac-
tice in this respect, as has been done in
so many other respects:
In any case, strange things happen
or maybe they don't just happen-in the
purlieus of politics. First, Laddie Boy
was put out OF office-somebody Of
fered President Coolidge fox terrier,
and the offer, according TO a semi-offi-
cial dispatch. was accepted tentatively"
Then THE LIGHT emarked-somewhat
ll-advisedly-that it was about time for
chief executive of this great nation
to blossom forth with an orange-and-
white bird dog. to relieve the monotony
of mere flea-chasers and rat-catchers.
Immediately it developed that such a
step would be highly impolitic, as there
are two hostile camps of bird-dog men,
each camp being composed OF full
fledged and fledgling voters.
Such being the case, it seemed that
President Coolidge was about to put
over profound diplomatic achievement
by the process of avoidance. He would
avert the fell wrath of both camps of
bird-dog men-the setter and the pointer
by embellishing and enlivening the
White House ground with fox terrier.
- The recent dispatch alluded to sug-
gests world Of possibilities, agreeable
or MOTT all depends upon the view
point. The dispatch reports that the
APresident has accepted, or may accept
or has been offered-the exact status
of the situation doesn't matter-an aire-
dale. 1t is reported. furthermore, that
this dog, besides being an airedale, is
blood relation of Laddie Boy, and
has pedigree, n everything.
Now what dye know about that;
What's to become of the fox terrier
Another political disappointment, may
be. Is it possible that the President
after all, was about to make an I'M
diplomatic move in that he had failct
to take proper cognizance of the fac
that there are two kinds of fox terriers
the straight and the wire-haired?
Moreover, is it to be inferred that tn,
airedale is the only genus of dog o
which there are not two kinds, with
camp of uncompromising fanciers 70
each? Or is the electorate to conclud
that sort of dog dynasty has bee
set up at the White House, so that onl
pedigreed relations of the founder ar
eligible to the succession?
Pity the President if he has to answe
these questions, or even consider then

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
CHICAGO, November Itself re-
spect rather than artistic tempera-
ment is at the bottom of the merry
little tempest which today is rocking
Chicago's new civic opera. At least,
that is the explanation Amelita CALI
Curci gave today when she was asked
the real reason for the differences
that have arisen between the Chicago
opera management and herself and
which have resulted in her decision TO
forsake this metropolis for "a more
friendly management in New York, at
the Metropolitan"
The management says that what
Galli-Curci says ought not to be said.
because it isn't true" The manage
ment says very little beyond that,
excepting to state that the diva is un-
first and only time since 1916, when
she made her real debut here.
Differ on Opera Choice.
All the trouble-or at least all that
appears on the surfa ce-results from
the homogeneous choice of the opera
in which Galli-Curci should open the
season. The management chose
'Lakme." Herbert NJ. Johnson. who
makes the decision in such matters,
wired Nine. CALI -Curci to that effect.
Madame replied that she preferred to
open in "ninorah"
Sorry. but you must open in
Iakme,'" Mr.. Johnson wired back
ITO change now would inconvenience
others"
And that was the spark that igrited
the divas spirit.
Never has an artist been SO treated
like a puppet," she declared They
forget that the artist is as much re-
sponsible for opera as the management,
and should not be left out. One might

NOTABLE VICTORY WON
BY WOMEN OF QUEBEC

MONTREAL. Quebec, Jan. 21.-
Feminists of the Province of Quebec
hail as a victory for their cause the
appointment of two women as COM
missioners of the superior court for
the judicial districts of Montreal.
The ruling is described as the first
step toward admitting women to the
bar of the province, for which a bat
tie has been waged for many years
in the legislature.
The first women to be named COM
missioner are Gertrude Sheridan and
Gertrude Doyle, public stenographers
The powers conferred by their. APP
poiRtment include the right to re-
ceive within the judicial district Of
Montreal affidavits which may be
used in any court in any district of
the province. Affidavits thus re-
ceived have the same force as IL they
had been received in court.
The womens petition for commits
sionerships was rejected by Justice
Campbell Lane when first presented
to superior court here. The Judge
took the ground that there was no
precedent for appointing women and
he declined to create one. A few
days later the petition was presented
again, this time to Justice MacLen-
nan, who granted 1t at once.
Every session of the provincial
legislature for many years has seen
the introduction of a bill to extend
to women the right to engage in the
practice Of law In the province. The
measure has always been defeated by
large majorities. Women in Quebec
enjoy the franchise in Canadian fed
sral affairs, but may not vote in pro-
vincial elections.
