The stupid boisterousness of
audiences at the Mutual this
week enswers the question as to
why America has few distin-
gulshed native playwrights.
Why does a chicken cross the
road? one oddly dressed char
acter asks of another. And the
answer is drowned in gales of
shouts and laughter before
whatever it is the author seeks
to convey, registers with the
more intelligent auditor. Rowdy-
Rowdyism has already depressed
the cultural level of our play
going public? Shouldn't some
thing be done?"
Constructive criticism is for
The New Republic and Capper's
Weekly. For us the news of
what's going on before what's
going on gets out Of town.
Upper Sixteenth Street is
succumbing with pardonable
decorum to a slight tinge of
fame these days. Among that
fraternity which hasAthe worlds
entertainment at heart it is be-
coming known as Little Holly

why?
Because behind those terraced
lawns, those sentineled streets
of elm and poplar, a census
taker would discover that living
here are Harry Crandall, of the
Crandall chain; Larry Beatus,

with a solution far from early reallza'

known as THE Society for Investi-
cation of Aviation in High Attitudes,
hopes to find a means Of flying at an
altitude of from to miles. This,
they say, would solve the problem
of transoceanic aviation.

A further amendment tNo. 13) was
made to section 8, to remove "am-
biguity"; but later the whole thing
was again rnconsidered. and after
more backing and filling section 3 was
again amended (No. 1D by giving the

the House committees section 3. In
which the House Of Representatives
would be given an indefinite length
of time in which to vote for President,
the Vice President in the meantime
merely acting as President.
Norris Against Provision.
Against this very provision Senator
Norris argued before the House COM
mittee in the Sixty-eighth Congress,
saying: "If they (the House) failed. as
they might very easily do, because of
tie in a three-cornered fight, and If
by that time the Senate had elected a
Vice President, he would become
President, but would remain President
only until the House succeeded in
electing a President. That Is the way
your resolution is now. 1t is quite ap-
parent, [ think, to all of us that that
would give the House four years in
which to elect a President. The House
could elect the President at any time
during that four years. and after the
House elected President the Vice
President would have to. step down
and become Vice President again.
Now the argument has been made.
and it seems to me a we'll founded
one, that that would make the Presi-
dent subject to the will of the House;
that they would by that means secure
a strong hold upon him. and would be
able to do anything they pleased with
him. clearing March 27, 1924D
