IF TUT COULD SEE US NOW

People who dig into past ages are
wasting a lot OF energy, money and time
if their only object is to find queer
things. There is an infinitude Of queer
things right under the noses of present
day mOrtals-wOndcrs that do not have
to be labOriously uncovered and tedi-
ously interpreted. One reads speculative
trcatises on old King Tut, whose tomb,
after thirty-odd centuries, was opened
recently by Egyptologists; treatises in
which attempts are made to estimate the
ancient PharaOhs character and intelli-
gcnce. If Tut could come back to
earthly life now, he might be able to
explode the belief that modern man has
mind superior to that of his ancient
forc5ears. Certainly he would lind mod
ern man remarkably inconsistent
A few days ago a famous scientist and
inventor delivered an address before the
national cotton conference, at Atlanta,
Ga. If King Tut suddenly resuming
earthly existence, should hear the sub
jcct of that address his eyes might pop
from his head: Man or Bug, Which
Shall Inherit the Earth"
Not that Dr. Hudson Maxim was eX-
hibiting queer mental qualities-far from
it. But just consider that subject for a
moment, even in its narrowest intcrprc-
tation. Is it possible that any kind Of
bug is on the high road to inhcriting
any part of the earth3 All, the boil
weevil! That Notwithstanding bug
threatens to inherit that part of the earth
which is devoted to the production Of
a commodity essential to man.
Science has conquered deadly diseases,
overcome natural forces, DESTROYED dis
lance, created new species of plants and
animals, explored the depths of the seas,
scared through the heavens, turned
darkness into light, torn down and built
TIP great cities, joined oceans, changed
the course of mighty rivcrs-and vet a
little bug still threatens to inherit, in
mans stead, a valuable part of the earth.
Governments have pro;csscd to be great
" Conccrncd-and yet the greatest gov
eminent in the world has a law which
may be interpreted by those in author
ity as denying cotton growers the right
to import free OF duty the most cffica-
cious boll-wccvil antidotc thus far dis
covered. One of the reasons why other
means OF combating the wccviI are be-
ing sought is that calcium arscnate is
eNpchsiyc-and unnecessarily so.
Consider a slightly different nterprcta-
ton Of DR.. MaXim's subject. Not long
ago a wealthy person died. the benefic-
larles designated in the will were some
dogs rather than the relatives or human
friends OF the deceased.
More recently it was announced that
a hotel, to cost $4,000, would be erected
in California city for the exclusive
benefit of dogs There would be pri-
N1tc baths swimming pools, play rooms
special attendants and so on.
Now comes another story that be,
longs somewhere in the bugs" cate,
gory. First, however, consider the meek,
ness OF people who are submitting tc
forces which ara destroying what their
.iorbcars defined as inalienable human
rights. Now for the story;

I Brown and Elaine have some non

good work on the part of Brown. His
songs and dances get a laugh, but he
should clean up his lines a little.

thrill when one of the men dives

Dave Ferguson and company in "a

COMMITS SUICIDE
CHICAGO OFFICE
Body Of Robert ], Slater Az
Lawyer fer Surface Lines
Found by JanitOr,


CHICAGO, Nov 13.-RObert J.
Slater, Al, attorney for the Chicago
surface lines, shot and killed himself
in his downtown office Monday night
A janitor found Slater's body. A
revolver was in his hand, a bullet
wound in his temple.
Slater left a note requesting friends
be notified first rather than have po-
lice officers break the news to his
wife.
Friends declared Slater had been
in iu-health for four years as re-
suit of an automobile crash.
Please. please do not let any Off
Ger or stranger tell my beloved, pre-
cious. angel wife" Slater wrote.
please, please, please call some Of
nv good friends and let them break
the news TO her as gently as pos
sible"
Slater had been prominent in Chi
cago legal circles for a score of years.
Before being engaged by the Chicago
surface lines he was counsel for the
Illinois Central railroad and the
Aetna Life Insurance. He was born
and educated at Taylorville, Ill, and
admitted TO the bar in 1899.
Slater is survived by his widow and
two sons, both students at Princeton
University.

Bubble Bubble" which is playing
at the Capitol all this week, has,
above all, a good comedian. Abe
Reynolds is in a. class all to himself
when it comes to burlesque come
dians, and he is a vital unit in this
show.
He enters the action early in the
first act, and holds most Of the at.
tention throughout the show. He is
at his best in the fourth scene, "A
Dollar Down." and in the last scene.
Jack Fuquay and William E.
Browning are his principal assistants
in comedy, and John Ross, Andy
Francis and James Holly also sup
port him.
This show needs more pretty girls
in the chorus, and with the exception
of Ann Clifton Rosemond, needs some
new feminine principals. Miss Clifton
has a double voice, singing in
soprano and baritone. She has some
good numbers, especially THE Kind
of a Girl That Men Forget"
The scenery in Bubble Bubble" Is
good, and the costumes are extensive.

artist Reiner, the CONDUCTOR yielding
the center Of the stage to Burmester,
another artist. The ovation went on
and on.
A plano was pushed on the stage.
The ovation continued. Finally q
pianist walked to the piano. Burmes-

man played a collection of beloved
waltzes, his cwn arrangement His
encore lasted over eighteen minutes.

recital last night.

The attention given Burmester in
no way lessons the merit Of the work
of Reiner and his orchestra. The men
