(By Dispatch A. p Wre)
| LONDON, May 2S-How long should
a man spend over drink? Is a ques
tion which a Galway court has decided
| in the case of six soldiers of the Irish
4 speaking battalion of national army.
The troopers We're prosecuted for
naming too long in a public house on
i Sunday afternoon tipping. The po-
lice contended that half hour the
men had spent over their beverage
| was too long. The magistrate, how
ever, held that if man were social
i ly inclined he easily could spend an
hour over one drink. Therefore he
dismissed the case.
Liverpool school boys have under
taken to give school girls pointers
on cooking. To this end they put
on an exhibition Of their handicraft
in the model workroom of the Liver
pool institute The chief exhibits We're
cakes, mince pies, fudge ana other
things conjured to tickle the palate.
And evidently they did for the boys
were forced hastily to put up sign
reading please do not eat the eX-

! London boasts an actor who never
has been forced to so transforming
and who does not know the rigors Of
the one night stands. He is William
H. Berry, who for % years was in
musical comedy at Days and the
gaiety where he sang tropical songs
for the delectation, of his auditors.
! He has now branched out as a variety,
or vaudeville actor and says he be-
| lieves that even yet he viii be able
to "dodge the provinces" He is 81
| years old and when not doing his
turn on the stage claims he is a
good golfer, fisherman and walker.
His friends do not deny the latter
allegation.
Golden voices sopranos from sunny
Italy soon will be able to tour the
Arctic or Antarctic without danger OF
their high notes and tropical tenn
permanent becoming frostbtten. They
will carry artificial sunlight along
with them everywhere on their tours,
Even if these should bring" within
the north or south Polar region
Therefore they viii be enabled to
indulge themselves in daily baths in
the violet rays so necessary to keep
artists in the proper vocal, physical
and mental balance.
SO believes Francisjek Goldenberg,
a concert pianist Although Of Po-
lish blood Goldenberg was born in
Sumatra. The gray skies of northern
countries adversely affect him. Con-
| sequently on his arrival in England
he arranged for artificial sunlight
treatment.

I go on my tours since the new ultra
violet rays have come into such gem
eral USE" he declared And an art
ist," he added, needs the tonic eff
feet of such treatment. Constant
travel in cold, damp weather makes
4 it difficult for a musician to radiate
brightness and good cheer unless he
/ has something to tone him up"
Twice a year is sufficient for
women more than 40 years of age to
visit the theater. This is the opinion
of St John Ervine, the Irish dra-
matte critic who sometime ago brew
ed considerable of storm when he
announced that the Prince of Wales
with cockney accent instead OF
using the pure, unadulterated king $
English The playwright added thar
the English theater was being ruined
by women. He found that the bulk Of
audiences at suggestive plays in Lon
don was composed of women.
II King Alfonso of Spain this sum-
mer will show his 1insmen, the Prince
Of Wales, how to mount a horse ana

polo at birmingham and some of the
other fashionable clubs i'll England.
