ing from the classics to jazz-inter-
preting all their numbers with a fire
and zest seldom found in any must
cal organization.
Two of the boys, James and Frank
Ban, are the cornet feature of the
show. Their combined weight with
their instruments) is but 116 pounds
vet they play their comets with per-
feet mastery. Particularly effective
is their duet number.

mel and his ''boom. boom, boom"
can be heard for blocks.
Jimmy Hanson doubles on an alto
and clarinet.
James Scalise and Merle Brehm
WELD wicked" slide t%rombones.

numbers, James having a very fine
tenor voice, while Merle is called
''the boy Mccormick"
This troupe has played through
the states of Nebraska, Iowa, Hi
nois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Minneso-
ia, South Dakota and Wyoming.
Scarcely a night has gone by that
their performance has not had to be
heightened by added numbers to sat-
isfy the audiences.
At Mitchell, S. D., 5000 people
packed the Corn Palace (the largest
hall in that state) and thousands were
turned away.
At McCook, ..--eb., farmers came
from distances of 80 miles to see
the show.

found necessary to give two perform
ances.
No admission fee being charged a
large attendance is expected when
the troupe plays here.

Important ~Personages Among the
Wild Tribes of New Guinea Re-
markable for C~leverness.

In the New Guinea islands when a
man is i'll and has been reduced to Il
state of delirium, the witch-doctor ar
rives, an old man with mattered hair
and an exceedingly dirty skin. Around
his neck he wears a collection of Cd
dities, consisting of bits of crystal,
pointed sticks, human bones, and per-
haps some native indictments. Around
his loins he sometimes carries a Sec

of these valuable adjuncts, and ome
where he is sure to be concealing
stones and pieces of glass which he is
going to charm out of the body of the
sick man, writes R. w. Cilento, in
Asia Magazine.
The sorcerer proceeds to examine
the patient with elaborate ceremony
and then announces to the anxious
relatives that it is just as he ex-
pected; certain stones have been
wished into the mans body by a neigh
boring magician or some other evil
agency. Bending over the sufferer, ne
begins to humble long incantations
and to rub vigorously. Sometimes he
Is a skilled masseur, and uses a hot
stone wrapped In bark, to knead the
sore muscles. BY this treatment he
frequently relieves the rheumatic pains
which accompany so many infections.
Some time during the course of his
massage, he palms off one of his
stones or fragments of glass, and the
sick man, if he be conscious, gen
orally experiences great and immediate
relief.

Attend Union Meetings
By SAMUEL GoMPER5

This Is a call to duty--a call to rally every true union man to his post. Every union member has an obligation to attend every union meeting. Unions hold meetings for serious work of interest to every member. Every honest, carAest, should be in attendance at every meeting. Go to your union meeting and stay there until the minute of adjournment. Do not stay away or run away from union meetings be- cause some individual or small groun tries to monopoTlze the time of the meeting. Don't stay away because some individual or some small group tries to side-traclI attention to some rival or hostile movement-some movement designed to undermine or injure the real trade union move ment.
 In such cases the post of duty for every real trade unionist Is in the union meeting,
 There is more than personal desire at stake. There is duty to be per formed and no true trade unionist ever shrks a duty.
 So to every union meeting. Take active part. Stay to the end. If you are delegate to the central body go there at every meeting, take part-and stay to the finish.
 Trade unionists, see that the best Interests of the workers are pro- tected and advanced. See that real American trade unionism is main tained and strengthened
 Build the movement stronger. Build it's spirit and its organization. Build by being on the iObl

LARGE ATTENDANCE IN
 BIOGRAPHICAL l04
Delegates All Set For Trip To At
 lanta Convention

Birmingham Typographical union No. 104 held its regular monthly meeting in Fraternal hall Sunday afternoon with a large attendance. The report of Secretary Treasurer Bailey showed a substantial balance in the treasury and reports from the various union offices in both news paper and commercial plants were very encouraging. There is little likeness among union printers in Birmingham and the outlook for this industry is good.
 The membership of 1o4 Is on the increase. Several printers, who have just completed their apprenticeship. were initiated at Sundays meeting.
 Donations were made at Sundays meeting to help the cause of labor and for the assistance of persons who have made personal sacrifices for the advancement of union prinei- ples.
 Delegates Rowland H. Win and Roy Wilson are "all set" for the In- ternational Typographical uniCn eoA- vention in Atlanta next month. They will be accompanied by a large dele gation of ex-delegates and other visitors to the big convention.

FATHERS HAPPY IN 1920
Then They Could Preach MOraiities
 To Their &0aniHese rBut Today

Especially to be envied is the father of the 1S2O's, because he could plant himself cn the hearth rug with his legs apart and his hands under his coat tails and thunder moral re- marks at his children without any fear of being interrupted.
 There is nothing that gives one such sense of well-being as to thunder neral remarks at somebody; but the opportunities for doing so are becoming fewer and fewer. Now and then in an advertisement in maga- zne we se4 well fed and well pre- served man of middle age sitting be- hind an tffice desk and pointing a finger at a group of cringing op- cratives as an illustration of what course in will power can do for one; and we see at a glance that he .s being moral with all his might and !s, consequently, a happy man.
 But In real life we rarely see any one do that-certainly never a father. When it is necessary for the modern father to be moral he tries to be jCVial rather than Jovian and in- sinuative rather than incendiary.
 He begins his homily with some such preamble as: Not to seem to preach" or mot to pose as an oracle" or with no desire to appear omniscient," and as like as not, the son or daughter who is listening breaks in encoura gingly That's right. Don't come the heavy, father, that's a good fellow" or That's a dear old thing"
 Who could be moral after that? And is it really quite fair? The mod ern father has few enough pleasures in any event and it seems as if he might have been permitted to keep this little one of laundering at his family now and then. No one ever paid much attention to him, anyway, even in 1920; but he got an innocent pleasure out of it az well as an abid- ing sense of security out of feeling his feet planted firmly on the eter- nal rock of fundamental right and wrorg.
 He said proudly, q am an old fashioned man." and all the other fathers cried, Hear! hearn Today he preiaces his remarks to the family with the phrase, "I may be old fash toned, but" and the younger gene ratitn giggles.-Robert NJ. Gay in the Atlantic Monthly.

WILSON CLIMBED IN WINDOW

So far as his heavy cares permitted. President Wilson showed keen inter- est in the progress and development of department work of every kind.
 During the war an inventor pro- duced an all metal airplane of which he expected great things It was sent to the bureau of standards for ex- animation. The President was asked to see it, that gladly consented, but the only time available was on a Sunday.
 Accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, we went out to the bureau of standards, only to find that the custodian had isunderstood his orders and We were locked out. A nasty search found an uhfastened window, and tkis served as sufficient entrance for the President and his wife.
 l have always enjoyed the recollec- tion of the President of the United States and the first lady of the land climbing in through a half opened window rather than fail to carry out the purpose of theIr, visit.-William C Redfield in the outlook.
