Welcome Home, Irving

Mr.. and Mrs. Irving Berlin have arrived in the
United States after extended trip to Europe
Mrs. Berlin will be remembered by her many friend:
as the former Ellin Mackay, q society girl Of New
York. Mr.. Berlin writes popular songs for q liv-
ing and is selling quite few Of them.
They greeted at the docks by battery Of
cameras. You'll see their pictures in the rotograv.
sections alongside those Of Henry Ford, Thoma:
Edison, Jack Dempsey and other celebrities.
This will be very NICE Ford, Edison and Dcmp
sey have done much for the world. Ford gave the
poorer classes cheap transportation, enabling then,
to get out for breath of fresh air and enjoy life
Edison lighted our homes and contributed to the
peace and comfort of mankind in a thousand ways
Dempsey fired the imagination Of young Americans
and made them long for better health.
What has Irving Berlin done with his popular
songs? At times he has sent soothing strains into
hundreds Of millions Of human beings tired with the
daily samcncss of living. Then again, his snappy
jazz pieces have made tho feet Of the nation step
fast and faster until they hoped out of the old
ruts. - ~

British Programs

( American radio listeners will welcome the news
that arrangements have been completed with the
British Broadcasting company whereby regular ra-
do programs will be broadcast for the United States
early this fall between the hours of two and seven
in the morning It is felt that these hours, which
ere. from r. m. to a. m. eastern standard time
will permit American audiences to listen in at a
most suitable hour for them
This should be particularly good time for the
Programs to be broadcast, since but little Of the
transmission will occur in the daylight Midnight
should be splendid time for listeners on the At
@ntic seaboard to listen for England. OF course
ne practical value Of these programs is nil, yet they
re very pleasant diversion and lead to innum-
ttable arguments onthe merits Of respective receiv.
isg4 sets.

The Cape Times, in South Africa, says that
america is, indeed, the spiritual and material home
Of the murderer" 1t is a serious CHARGE though it
undoubtedly appears that way from distance, and
there is unfortunately too much truth in it, though
It may not be quite the whole truth At least it
should be noted the ether side that such splen-
did murderers" as Chapman and Whittemore have
been hanged this year and that others arc well on
the way.
But nowhere else in the world do the law and
government have to reckon with the Humanitarian
as in America. This humanitarian is a hard person
to argue with, because he has the advantage of a
sympathetic atmosphere" created, as a writer in
the Cape Times notes, by the results of humanitar-
ian endeavor during the past century. He appeals
to- the generous instincts in the bosom Of the race
Skill in touching up the subject matter especially
IN the case Of the death penalty, is often shown by
humanitarian advocates.
But lcncncy to the criminal in America resulting
from this scntimentalist propaganda, seems to have

. Critics who have loudly claimed that Miss Ger

every opportunity of taking the as did
Miss Edere, of taking the same advantage Of wind
and tide, she is supposed to have done, and Of
being accompanied by many tugs as they de-

There is only one answer. The channel defeated
fhese six swimmers because they were not of chan
mel calibre. Miss Ederle was and therefore she
made it.

The association has been cooperating with the de-

share in the money raised Fifteen per cent Of the
total proceeds from each county will be refunded to

its work.
