Removing hats in elevators is officially taboo
IN large office buildings in Denver, Colo.
In announcing the release of the males from this
more or less general custom the management of the
buildings offers. some very practical reasons
1t seems that hat removing causes confusion
and limits the capacity of elevator and frequent
ly results in the crushing of an expensive hat to
the chagrin and annoyance of the owner"
That argument, if true, is very powerful Cou-
pied with the contention made by the management
that business women no longer expect any special
privileges the against doffng hats in eleva-
tors would seem to be virtually complete
The next step. of course, is to get other COM
munites to adopt the enlightened position taken in
Denver If that be done without opposition
from those specializing in repairing and replacing
crushed hats, the male. who is being rapidly
emancipated. will make another important gain.

A GOOD JOB. SENATOR

It's fine campaign which Senator Mcclellan of
Tennessee is undertaking, back home these hot
mer days-to bring home to the people of the South
what Muscle Shoals means.
Those who have been trying to pass over our
great public power plant to private interests are
afraid of nothing much as public knowledge of
the worth of Muscle Shoals.
Under public operation the giant hand of cleo,
tricity may quicken industrial life in every com.
munity within hundreds of miles. Cheap power,
abundant power, flooding through the South. A
proof that the pubcs Operation of own plants is
feasible perpetual warning to private companies
that they face public competition and must keep
their own prices down or lose their business
Mcclellan has chance to do a good summer
Camoufage stockings are the latest, but they
won't become popular.
Here's fine symbol for a 1928 political party:
Camel in a canoe.
There's quite bit Of static in handling our radio
industry
Our idea Of being rich is having your umbrella
made to measure.
First five months of always are the
hottest
Our busiest citizen is trying to make a. living
without working.

An Architectural Joke

The suggestion that we buy, tear
down, import and reconstruct some
of the fine old churches which Lon
don wants to get rid of, brings to
mind the fact that P. T. Barnum once
proposed to buy and bring over
Shakespeare House.
1t also brings to mind the genius
of Sir Christopher Wren, who de-
signed these churches, and who was
not only a great architect, but a
great engineer and a great humor
list.
By way of ornamenting a certain
edifice, Sir Christopher designed q
projecting bow window many feet
above the ground and without ap
parent support.
Afraid he had made a mistake
and that the bow window would fall
the committee in charge compelled
him, though sorely against his will
to place tall columns beneath it.
Two hundred years afterward
when this building was undergoing
repairs, workmen discovered that the
bow window did not rest on these
columns at all. but that there was
a clear space Of half an inch between
their tops and It's base
That was Sir Christopher way of
perpetrating a good joke.

PoinCare'S Machine

A more reassuring aspect OF the
debt situation is to be found in the
smoothness with which the Poincare
steam roller still works.
The radicals are making tumult
and have increased their strength to
some extent. but he is still able to
muster a safe majority.
With logged persistence. he keeps
hammering away at the idea that
France must show faith in herself
If she would enjoy faith abroad.
OF course he has not come to the
debt pact yet, but he is laying as
solid ground for it's ratification as
any man could under the circum-
stances.
His grasp Of the problem is wildly
Illustrated by the fact that Clemen-
ceau's burning eloquence has pro.
duced no great effect thus far.

Do Not Be Afraid to Dream When You
Hear Shakespeare Set to Great Music
BY Walter q. Hickman

Dreaming is not fault when the
dream has beauty.
One of the greatest values that
fine music has is that it causes me
to dream great and beautiful dreamy
fabrics.
And ii isn't loss Of time or energy.
1t develops my moods and my appre
citation for beauty.
Recently Brunswick. by it's new
recording process, brought out two
faced large record of the Scherzo and
the Nocturne from Mendelssohn' s
Midsummer Nights Dream"
This record is played by the New
York Philharmonic Orchestra, with
Arturo Toscanini, guest conductor,
conducting. In the Scherzo you will
hear a flute solo by John Amans.
These two selections from Mid
summer Nights Dream are among
the better and more beautiful ones
from this opera. 1t is well while
playing these two numbers that you
consider them as excerpts from the
works of Shakespeare, a sort of a
musical setting from the text.
OF course, you will have to use
your imagination as to the words,
but 1 rather think you can easily
get the mood of the composer as well
as the author No one is going
wrong by getting acquainted with
Shakespeare in a musical setting,
and 1 am sure that the addition Of
a few more admirers of Mendelssohn
will do no damage to the peace OF
the world.
Have played this Brunswick con-
tribution to better music many times.
My dreams are not always the same.
Sometimes l feel the fun spirit of
Shakespeare, his delightful touch
which We see in his plays.
Then the master of the melody
maker gets hold of little me and
begin dreaming of mountains, hopes,
great faith, love and even a fanciful
dance. Do not put bride or your
dream box, because the very title,
Midsummer Nights Dream" invites
you to the land Of dreams.
Here is great music, splendidly re-
corded. and 1t is a compliment to
the library of every home which has
a copy of this Mendelssohn-Brun
wick New York Philharmonic Or
chestra record.
Here is real music, If 1t is real
music that you enjoy.
Another Valencia
The musical world is being flooded
with various ideas of Valencia"
have at least a good half dozen
records of Valencia" at my fiat.
Some good and others not so good.
Am ready today to tell you of my
favorite Valencia" record. 1t is
Franklyn Baur singing Valencia"
on a Brunswick Here is a fine
tenor who knows how to project
words as well as moods.
Baur has a rich tenor voice which
seems to melt into the record. To
my way of judging, this Baur record
Of "Valencia" is by far the best of
all of EN-. On the other side Baur
sings Tell Me You Love Me-"

Tracy
CIemenceau'S Debt Letter
+. Termed Malicious by
Borah.
BY NJ. e. Tracy

Cruelty misleading, deliberately
unjust and yet pathetic is the way
Senator Borah describes Clemen-
ceau's debt letter to President Cool
idge in an exclusive statement to
the United News.
HE (Clemenceau), is one whose I'M
founded wrath we can afford to
ignore says the Senator, land
whose malicious insinuations we can
afford to pass by"
All of which suggests that two
of kind have taken up the pen,
and that when it comes to vigorous
language, each can write about as
effectively as the other.
Senator Borah is fairer than
Clemenceau in one respect. how
ever. for he declares that if debts
are to be cancelled, they should be
cancelled all around and include
reparations.

/. Sickly Jurors

Five kid bandits, whimpering when
caught, and called the "cry.baby'
gang in consequence-they went on
trial with confessions of enough
crimes to just miss the electric
chair and New York justice was
ready to railroad them in fine style.
But each and every one Of them
swore that the confessions had been
forced by cruel and abusive treat
ment, by kickings, beatings and star
walton.
AS the fifth defendant was, re-
counting this one of the jurors

exhale slowly and inhale quickly.
The feet will drop at first until the
body is perpendicular but, if one per-

face clear of the water.

in this manner it is simple to raise
the feet to the surface-but 1t re-
quires long practice to keep them
there.
