the big moment of Joe Cooks
~ act.
A card is displayed which reads:
Saving a dog in two parts
The audience at Keith's yesterday
became breathless. Joe appeared in
the attire of a French chef. A
waiter followes him in. carrying a
tray over which was a napkin.
Joe grasped a wicked looking thing
belonging to the knife or saw family,
I forget which. The napkin is re
from the kettle is exposed. Joe cuts
the sandwich food into two parts. The
trick was accomplished without a
howl" from the dog but with a thou
sand yells Of laughter from the au-
dience.
II isn't so much what Joe Cook does
that really counts but it is the way
he does it. I believe that we have
in Joe Cook the best all around en-
tertainer on the variety stage today.
There is a method and even deep
thinking behind all Of his stunts. Joe
Cook is what all variety entertainers
should be- He knows his theater
and above all he knows how to sell his
wares. There is a thought back of
everything that he does.
We are all familiar with his con-
ception Of one man vaudeville show
He has enlarged the idea this season.
His troupe consists Of members Of
other acts. His mystery trunk de
fusion" is a gem of a burlesque on
magicians. He has a full stage with
numerous assistants to cause little
white handkerchief to be found in a
big trunk. This is great fun.
After his regular act, Cook sails in
during the turn of the AleXanders and
John Smith It is during this turn
that Cook does a little bit Of every
thing. I am convinced that Joe Cook
is the best all around entertainer on
the American stage today.
Van and Schenck Appear
As Variety HeadIiners
Van and Schenck, remembered for
the work in Ziegfeld FolIies. are now
headlining in vaudeville. They are
holding down that position at Keiths
this week They yield TO the demands
Of the audience for favorite songs.
Even after the piano was removed
from the stage yesterday afternoon,
Van and Schenck obliged with more
by using the piano in the pit. I think
the secret of the success Of this team
is that an audience can understand
every word of every song they sing.

sidered.
An analysis Of these same figures
show that the death rate in the
United States from such diseases as
typhoid, scarlet fever. whooping
cough, diphtheria, influenza, tuber-
culosis and syphilis was 2433 per
100000 Of population. The rate in
Maine for the same period for the
same diseases was 2266 per 1OO.-

From figures compiled by the

noted that SOS per cent of the
deaths in Maine last year occurred
at the age Of 60 years or over and
nearly 20 per cent Of the Maine
deaths occurred at the age of 40

Maine is making a splendid show
ing, the death rate from communi-
| cable diseases, the average age OF
death and the average length OF life.
according to information given out
at the office of the Maine Public
Health Association here Monday,
based on figures supplied by the
state department Of health.
Yet the Maine Public Health AS
ISOLATION points out that during lJ22
there were approximately 3OOO
deaths from communicable diseases,
each Of them representing great
economic loss to the state. and ap-
peals to the men and women of
! Maine to give more thought to the
importance of health as the funda-
mental thing upon which the devel-
opment of the state rests.
This association is conducting a
vigorous campaign to reduce the
number Of infant deaths, state
wide campaign for the control Of
cancer, is fighting the causes of tu-
berculosis. and carries on an educa-
tional campaign against diseases
caused by defective teeth, the great
scourge Of the social diseases and
the causes Of blindness.
Figures compiled by the state de-
partment of health show that dur
ing 1922 there were IT'S still births"
babies born dead.
During 1922, according to figures
compiled by the state department of
health, 1920 Maine babies died be-
fore they arrived at their first birth
day.
The same report shows 962 deaths
from cancer and $50 from tubercu-
losis. It shows 1889 deaths from
pneumonia and 326 from influenza.
All of these are comfortable dis
eases. There were 81 deaths from
diphtheria, Sc from whooping
cough, 81 from typhoid. sc from
syphilis, q from scarlet fever and
Is from measles.
Every one of these deaths is an
economic loss to Maine. The loss in
producing power-measured in dol
lars and cents-amounts to millions
of dollars.
The loss to thousands Of families
because Of disease "caught from
some one else" is beyond compre-
hension.
Maine cannot be satisfied until
this appalling loss of life each year
from preventable causes is abated.
In the 81 registration states the
number of deaths in 1920 per 1000
of population was 1871. In Maine
which is a part of the registration
area-the number was 1913. For the
year 1921 the number in the "a
states was 11.2 per 1000 of popula-
ton. In Maine for the same year
the number was 11.2 per 1000 of
population.
The average age at death in the
United States in 1920 was ~ years
In Maine for the same period the
average age at death was 40 years.
These figures were compiled by
the Maine Public Health Association
by J. S. Whitney. statistician for the
National tuberculosis Association,
| following a report from Washing
| ton that Maine had the biggest
| death rate in the country. A close
study of the figures on which the

Moral Trespass and
Challenge to Church
To Work IL Hours Day

New York, June 25-"When in.
dustry employs men IL hours a da,
it Is committing a moral trespass
| and challenges the churches in theil
| own field" declares the Rev. F
! Ernest johnson, head of the research
department of the Federal Council Of
Churches today in making public Q
report on 1.-The Twelve-Hour Day ir
/ the Steel Industry" a research bull
letin on the long work day.
The research bulletin has been in
preparation for months and is COM
pilation of reports OF investigators
of recognized competence and stand
ing into conditions connected with
the two-shift day.
Mr.. Johnson states that this work
on the part of the churches is neces-
sary because of the prevalence OF
misleading propaganda in connec-
ton with the 12-hour day. He says
regarding the research bulletins:
THE entrance of the churches
once again into the 12-hour day con-
troversy means that we have been
forced to take seriously the state
ment made by Judge E. H. Gary, the
acknowledged leader of the steel
industry in America that he is less
concerned over the 12-hour day IT.
self than over what the public thinks
about it. We feel it our duty to
keep the public informed about con-
ditions in the industry until the
public demands that they be
changed. Apparently the manufac-
turers responsible for the recent re-
port issued by the American Iron
and Steel Institute are not impressed
with the weight Of public opinion on
this subject.
ut was assumed that the appoint
ment of an investigating committee
year ago meant that the industry
was about to yield to the urgent
request of the President of the
United States. 1t now appears that
this action was only a gesture. We
do not accept the Iron and Steel In
stitute's estimate of the public con-
science on the 12-hour day. We
believe the public has a strong con-
Viction about it when brough. face
to face with the facts.
II anticipate that it will be once
more asserted that churchmen as
such are not qualified for reporting
on industrial problema and disputes.
Yet the fact is that we are driven 70
