IN SWEET SEPTEMBER


Mispenard Elliot, the Denver bank
er, said at peace banquet:
"Militarism always pretends to be
peaceful. 1t pretends to be working
only for defense. 1t talks nothing
but peace till-boom! crashi--it has
plunged the world into the horrors of
war.
"Militarists abuse the world peace
as the young woman abused the pro-
verb. This young woman was a cash
ier in cafeteria, and fatherly old
gentleman said to her:
"'I hope, my dear child, you are
putting something by for rainy day.
"'My goodness, yes, said the young
woman, I've got six pairs of silk
stockings, all the latest shades, that
I'd never dream Of wearing when it's
a clear day"

WAR VETERAN SAVES DOG
THAT SAVED HIM IN WAR

When Horace Love, torn by ma
chine gun bullets, was waiting for
death in No Mans Land, dog
saved his life. Recently he saved
that dog.
Love, now student at North
western university, Chicago, was
severely wounded while fighting in
the Argonne,~ when the dog, Boli-
var, then working for the German
Red Cross, found him, went back tc
surgeons and took them to the
stricken man. Later, American
forces captured the position, and
when Love returned to this coun-
try he brought Bolivar with him.
About a month ago, Love, with an
other student, lost Bolivar while
exploring the desolute regions of
Skolxie valley. For days they
searched in vain. Meanwhile, re-
ports were brought in by motorists
that a wolf" had been running
across the bleak land.
Recently, Love still at his quest,
was stopped by a policeman be-
cause his automobile lacked Ii
cense tag. At a suburban station
he explained his search.
"Why, we've a dog like that"
the sergeant said. Caught him
it took half dozen of us-after
he had scared folks in the roads.
He looks half-starved; he's sched-
uled to be shot in the morning
you'll have to shoot me first, "
Love said.
Bolivar was brought in. He was
a skeleton. But he cleared the
room in one bound and almost
floored his master with his joyous
assault. There will be no execu-
ton.

After the longest career, and one
of the most successful, of any dipio-
mat who ever lived in Washington,
Ambassador Jules Jusserand of
France is retiring under something
of cloud.
Americans, indeed. are as much
attached to him as ever. He always
has been extremely popular in Off
cial and unofficial circles alike. Com.
ing to the United States in middle
life. he has grown old here. Not
many of the country's own public
men have so many warm friends
It is in France that a certain
amount of fault is found with him.
The criticism, in brief, Is that his
l21 years residence among Amer,
leans has made him more American
than French.
~ LAST TOUCH
That he understands America as
probably no other living Frenchman
does is conceded readily, but the
point is made that he has lost touch
with official and popular sentiment
in his native land.
In fact, the complaint is tna'
when Franco-American differences
Of opinion arise. he generally is on
Americas side.
This adverse criticism is not bitter
1t is perfectly recognized that MS
services here, especially during the
war. have been inestimably valuable
to France. = His ability. his popa
larity and his complete familiarity
with America are given full credit
for them.
But his conversations with Wash

ment heads concerning Frances wal
indebtedness to the United States

TALENT FOR DOVER TEAM
"Jiggs" DOnOhue Will Have Big Squad
From Which to Select Club

With nine men definitely placed as
members of the team and with about
twenty youngsters on the try-out list,
"Jiggs" Donohue, generaIssimo of the
Dover Dobbins is busy laying his
plans for the 1925 Eastern Shore
campaign. Manager DOnohue is eX-
pected to arrive on the scene of the
home battles late this week, with his
troopers following him on the 18th
and 10Th when spring training begins.
The Dover lineup has been augmented
by the addition of two Beantown stars
One is a husky young first baseman
name NOonan and the other a pitcher
who passes under the sognomen of
DOherty. In a telegram to headquaIt
ers "Jiggs' described NOOnan as be-
ing six feet one inch in height, a left
handed, hard hitting batter, and one
of the fastest fielders in the Twi-
light League, Boston, last year. Do
herty, he said, also performed in the
Twilight circuit last season, He is a
southpaw finger who has worlds of
control and dazzling speed. Both of
the newcomers are under p, and the
Dobbins' manager believes they will
develop into great ball players.
Besides DOheIty and Noonan the
following have been assured of posi-
tions on the team when Dover lines
up against Easton in the opening
game May 27: ShortstOp Ray Massey,
Pitchers Johnny Menosky and Alton
Scott, Outfelders Tom Leonard and
Frank Gladu, Catcher Louis GOldblatt
and Second Baseman Willard Poole
The veterans in this layout are Mas
sey, Leonard and Menosky.
"Jiggs" will have almost a hundred
applications to draw from when he
gets to Dover, several score young
Sters having written the local manage
ment asking to be tried out under the
skillful eye of Manager DOnOhue. Oh
this number approximately twenty are
expected to appear, according to in
formation, and display their wares.
Dover fans are more enthusiastic
than ever this year over the Dobbins
prospects, but are keeping themselve
in check until they have had an op
portunity to personally give the 1872
team the once over. Indications a

How a human derelict on an Orien-

in "a Thief in Paradise" (well named) !,

It's a strange picture of many fea-

including Doris Kenyon, Aileen Prin-

Undersea pictures of fights and
sharks, polo by girls in one-p piece
bathing suits and the dancing of
Aileen Pringle provide some of the
sparkle of this odd picture. The
story moves with compelling consist
ency until the half-caste wife breaks
in on the honeymoon and sends the
bride and groom fleeing back home
where the thief reveals his decep-
tion, unmasks and then goes upstairs
and shoots himself. Apparently he
dies, in the arms of his wife, whose
real love is awakened, and in the
presence of the old man who has

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

The newspapers the other day car
ried a story about one of the most
successful operators on the New
York Stock Exchange. This man. ac-
cording to the account, and en-
riched his friends anywhere from
IS, 900 to a S10O0,000 by trading for
them in the market during the recent
upturn in stocks. The story was
printed all over the country and was
widely commented upon. Moreover.
it was a true story. The facts were
as stated.
But it had one unfortunate effect
in that it led to the belief that what
had been done by one man could be
done by others. From the four quar-
ters of the United States and from
Canada as well a flood of letters
poured in upon the operator who was
the central figure in this story and
these letters had all one common
burden. That was a request that he
would take the money of the writers,
invest II In stocks and return a hun
dred and a thousand fold. Always
the writer had good reason for
needing the money. Sometimes 1T
was sickness and sometimes it was
debts and sometimes it was some
thing else, but one and all theyw
confident that their financial problems
could be solved by speculation.
One letter was PECULIARLY pathetic.
1t was from woman who had saved
$50 and wanted to risk it, although
she did not know it was a risk in
stocks. Now, opinions may differ as
TO the morality of speculation. | am
not prepared to pass upon that at this
time and in this place. What L do
say is that on those of us who know
the perils of the stock market the
reading of these letters had a sober
ing effect
There seems to be no way to draw
a hard and fast line between 1egiti-
mate and il1egitimate speculations.
The lure of the stock market is
terrible thing, however, when 1T
leads to the disaster which must in
evitably follow when either the wage
Garner or the professional man of
limited resources attempts to match
wits with those who make their liv-
ing by the ups and downs of stocks
on the Exchange.

National-"Loui the 18th

In Louie the 14th" Florenz Zieg-
ieid' has constructed an attraction so
sturdily magnificent that the 300 words
herein following-or any 900 words
can do little to impede or accelerate
Its progress.
Opening at the National Theater
last night after it's Baltimore pre-
miere, it has a finish and polish which
Is rare in early youth for a stage
child. Diversified in it's apparel, de-
lightful in it's cleanliness and with an
indefinable reminiscent charm, Louie
the 18th" is demonstration of the
thesis that a clever, good show can
bring acclaim to the doorstep OF its ere
ator just as surely a clever, risque
production. If cleverness be the gauge
of success, and it seems to be, Louie
the 14th'' can liik for a long footliGht
reign.
The features are too variegated for
detailed mention. To generalize, II is
necessary to skip over portions which
really cry out for specific recognition
as we'll as such bits as Leon Enrol,
Doris Patston and Ethel Shutta con-
tribute, that almost demand particu-
larized mention and apprecia ton.
Sigmund Romberg is credited with
a score which seems to run a modern
musical-historical gantlet from The
ander's Ragtime Band" era, into the
present hot" jazz craze. giving a
SAVIOR of each way station on the
journey.
Outstanding features, from birds
eye point Of view, seem to be sooth-
ing but gorgeous scenery; girls whose
native grace and naive beauty stand
out strikingly, even against the back
ground of splender: humor, funda
mental in its allure: songs that If not
great yet should become popular; dane
ing that charms with effortless ease;
satire, applied at times with broad
sweeping strokes against the newly
rich French tradesmen, the piquancy
of women and vanity of men.
There must always be few specks
In the ointment, even though a micro
scope is necessary to detect them.
Consequently the eagle eye of the un-
failing critic Immediately discovered
that nuns in the first act wore black
suede slippers with stylish high
heels, that Leon Enrol has no legiti-
