LOOKING OVER NEW EVENTS
AT THE PALACE.

If we remember right the last
time Miss Lindsay and her horse
were in town on a vaudeville bill
Sultan, the horse, was rather in
clined to bad manners, but this time,
at the Palace today and tomorrow,
this fine looking piece of horsetiesh
under the direction of Miss Lindsay
is giving an entertaining perform
ance.
In fact he is so well coached that
he starts doing tricks ahead of
time. The act is mostly counting
done by the horse in picking out
numbers and so on. Reflects credit
on Miss Lindsay for her patience
in training the horse to mind her so
well.
June Hovick and Company pre-
sent song and dance act with many
varied numbers. Miss Hovick is the
outstanding feature OF the act in
company with another woman who
has a couple Of poppy songs. Two
young men who sing some harmony
are also worth while. Best numbers
wers one with Miss Hovick In an
old-fashioned atmosphere, a solo by
one of the men from a box and a
character song by one of the women
about Hard Boiled Rose
Jerry O'Meara and Company CEN
ter their comedy on a beach and rely
mostly on the personality of Mr..
O'Meara in getting their skit across
Have some good comedy in the act.
Quigg Burnell and Company have
an act dealing with experiment iii
ultra high frequencies of electricity
Have several novel features.
Gold and Edwards are to be seen
in dance act featuring some snappy
stepping.
Included on the bill is a. photoplay
"Senor Daredevil with Dorothy De,
wore, also a news reel.

Prosperity Drunk

Prosperity has made us kind OF
drunk. We have grown careless Of
the finer ideals. listened to Rabbit
and mistaken him for y philosopher.
There has been much good in our
exploitation and boost schemes. We
have made ten bungalows bloom
where not one existed, and have
equipped them with electric water
heaters and vacuum cleaners. We
have made 1t proper for two. out of
every three families to own a fivver,
or at least buy one on the INSTALL
ment plan. We have made the radio
a veritable nuisance and accumulat-
ed enough spare change to send. all
the children to the movies twice or
three times a week.
With 1t all, however, we have laid
down on the job of thinking. A
good many of us find it hard to put
our feet on the porch rail and really
go over a subject in our minds. It
has become common to fall back on
some slogan when a question pops
up You heard people disposing Of
the most knotty political problem
Of complex moral issue with a catch
phrase.

That Five-Day Week

Like disarmament. a five-day week
would be all right If everybody
agreed to it, but some won't and
some can't.
Nature still has considerable of a
say-so with regard to how long men
shall work and how their work
shall be distributed.
The home still operates on a seven
day basis, and it would be pretty
hard to give housewives a five-day
week
The five-day week, as introduced
by Henry Ford, and as is now being
considered by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. includes nothing
but steady Industrial trades-the
mill, factory, machine shop where
climate doesn't play an all-important
part.
Mr.. Ford says his experts. after
careful study. have reported that the
five-day week will not lessen pro-
duction and that he can maintain
the same scales of wages as for a
six-day week.
Judge Gary, head of the United
States Steel Corporation says that
somebody will have to show him.
Meanwhile, the question is not
wholly what we can do in compari-
son with what we have done, but
, what we must do to hold our own
with the rest of the world.
European nations are not only
standing by the six-day week. but
are lengthening the day More i'm

IT'S MIGHTY HARD TO BE
PERFECT

Sir Austen Chamberlain, Britain's secretary for
foreign affairs, who is much ADLER than he looks has
returned to London from Geneva.
The League of Nations, he told the correspond
ents, is great force for good in the world but he
added sagely:
TITS mistake to suppose it's an assembly of
archangels and expect the delegates to behave as
such"
Here is something that has needed to be said
for long time. There's job in the world as hard
trying to live up to somebody's idea of perfection
More marriages wrecked because husbands
and wives turn out to be regular folks with human
frailties instead of demtgods and angels they had
pictured each other in their sweetheart days than
because of any othe one thing
The league has been great disappointment to
because it has not turned out to be altogether
perfect, which the world to commence WITH seemed
certain it would be-
How silly. The league, of course, is neither all
good all bad. It's just human. 1t is merely a
step, step, in the right direction and that is all
Under the old system nations leaped to war at
the slightest provocation or minus any. There
no common ground where they could meet and talk
peace even if they wanted to- Pride kept one from
going to the other and suggesting amicable settle
ment.
Today the league gives quarreling nations
chance to settle their differences without blood
spHllnS AHu-WudL is perhaps just as Important
the league makes it possible for the world to gauge
pretty accurately which nation is In the wrong in
the event Of
Wars Of aggression indisputably would be harder
to get away with today than they before the
league was born.
The league has made mistakes? OF course the
league has made mistakes. Who or what is perfect
in this world? But who put a finger on any one
thing and truthfully say But for the League of Ma
tfons this thing would have been betterW
On the other hand there innumerable sitlra-
tons to which the league may point and say but for
me this would have been much worse.
Let's accept the good the league does, much or
little and quit grumblng because it has not lifted
heaven itself out of the skies and planted it on earth

Mines Centuries Oyer

1t is startling to think what might
happen were the coal mines Of Eng
land to be flooded-m!nes that have
been operated for two or three cen
turtles and that constitute the very
backbone of Englands industry.
But there are lot Of startling
things In connection with this great
struggle between the Democratic
masses and the aristocratic proprie-
tors.
There are medieval customs in
England called law, medieval hold
ings called property rights and me
dieval distinctions called society.
The battle is more political than
economic and more social than po-
litical. The workers are not fighting
for a living wage. as ours once had
to, or for a cultural wage as ours
can now, but for the very privilege

Naturalization Only Way

Naturalization of the coal mines,
about which we hear so much, is
not mere socialistic draem, but
the only feasible meaps for putting
lot of separate and small holdings
together so hiatt modern enterprise
can find patches of ground big
enough to warrant the installation
of up-to-date machinery.
This all goes back to the feudalism
landlordism, entail and a hundred
and hundred and one handicaps
which persist with the old order.

OLD SKIPPER NOW
SAILS TIDAL BASIN
Navigator of Seven Seas
Finds Fun and Fame in
Model Craft.

From master of a mighty rover OF
the seven seas to skipper Of the good
ship Clytie. 52-inch navigator of the
far corners Of the Tidal Basin, is a
long, long step, but Paul Scharf. floor
manager at Woodward and Lothrop.
has made it and found both fame and
fun at the end.
1t was back in 1907 that Mr.. Scharf
brought his last big ship safely into
port, discharged his cargo and stepped
from the captains bridge for all time.
In numbering schooner and sturdy
steam freighter alike he had roamed
over the face Of the waters OF the
earth, and he wished to retire.
But the call Of the sea would not
be stilled. so Mr.. Scharf finally built
the Clytie and the placid Tidal Basin
became to him a great ocean where
once more he battled wind and tide
with his trim new craft: Finally. the
old sailor was repaid by seeing his
little yacht sweep home ahead Of 40
other contestants in the model yacht
regatta in Philadelphia last month.
Mr.. Scharf's Clytie flew the pen
nant of the Washington Model Yacht
Club at her masthead when the VIC
tory was won, and her skipper was
presented a silver loving cup to COM
memorate the event. Two other. Wash
ington yachts scored in the same
class-N. P. Leary's little clipper An
ishing second, and T. Brooks Andis,
jr.. third.
AS a result of this showing, the
Washington Model Yacht Club intends
to stage several regattas on the Tidal
Basin next year, and invite the clubs
of other cities to participate. Through
out the Summer and Autumn the craft
of the club may be seen bobbing
around on the Tidal Basin and its
members hope to excite the interest
of Washington youth in this sport.
The boats of the club range from
40 to So inches in full length. A new
fleet of six yachts, measuring from so
to 70 inches, will be built to meet the
competition from other cities next
Summer.

BHUENOSE RETAINS
FISHING BOAT TITLE
Nova Scotia Champion Beats
Vessel Planned by Own
Designer.

By the Associated Press.
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, October
16.-The schooner Bluenose of Lunen-
berg, for three years queen of the
Nova Scotia fishing fleet, still was
champion tonight, after the first of
the Canadian title contests sailed off
this port today. Under the skillful
handling Of Capt. Angus Walters. who
steered the vessel to victory in the
1923 international series off Glou-
cester, Mass, the Bluenose today de-
feated the Haligonian, Capt. Moyle
Grouse, by the impressive margin OF
81 minutes.
A second race will be sailed on
Monday, and should third be neces-
sary, it will be held on Tuesday.
Designed by Rivals Palmer.
1t was the first formal test of the
Haligonian, and under the conditions
prevailing, the Halifax schooner dis
appointed her supporters. The victory
of the Bluenose over the boat design
ed to beat her by the man who had
planned the lines of the Rluenose
was overwhelming. With a 25-knot
north-northwest breeze o d 6

the Haligonian's strong point of sail
ing. On the 1914 miles of windward
work, making up the 40-mile course,
the Bluenose gained q minutes. The
official elapsed times, constituting a
new record for the course. were:
Bluenose,- hours Is minutes IS sec
onds; Haligonian, hours 48 minutes
80 seconds.
Had 4 Seconds Start.
The Haligonian, with an excursion
vessel under her lee, was prevented
from bearing away, and crossed the
starting line 4 seconds in advance OF
the gun. The vessel might have been
recalled, but Walters, who followed
with the Bluenose s seconds later,
gamely insisted on going on with the
race. He succeeded in passing his RI
val shortly after the two had jibed
around the first mark with Bluenose in
the weather position.
Thereafter the result Of the race
never was in doubt, the champion,
gradually increasing her lead on the
reaches and romping away from the
challenger in the thresh back to the
finish line.
