Attack On Third Terms
ReOpens at Washington

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. (FP)-
Sen. LaFollette of Wisconsin, on re-
turning to the capital, announced his
intention to re-introduce and push for
adoption his resolution declaring it
the judgment of congress that occu-
pancy of the presidential office
should be limited to eight years.
He suggests that since President
Coolidge is not candidate for third
term, the issue becomes impersonal,
and the present moment is adapted
to declaration on principle against
the third term ambitions of future
ambitious presidents.

John w. Johnson, Tempe: When
ever I come to Douglas 1t never
appears to me that am in a town
isolated from others. There is an
atmosphere about Douglas. it's
schools, churches, clubs and other
\ organizations, that inpresses the
visitor here Of the fact that he or

sirable things found in larger

Earl j. King, Burkburnett, Texas:
Douglas has SO much wealth in It's
snlelters and is so favored by Gil

southern Arizona would at once

Dave H. Lawton, Bisbee: Eyes, the
fact that Douglas is going to build
a tourist hotel has rather awakened
the business men at Bisbee. There
is talk of promoting a tourist resort
there TOO. I think it would be 9
good idea. Real mining camps are
rather scarce now, and Bisbee is
one of the greatest IN the entire

In the Local Playhouses
BY FIRST NIGHTER.

FEW tense moments developed
" at one of our playhouses last
"A week, that for a time gave
j. 4 evidence of becoming eX'
tremely dramatic If not SEN
sational. The house was crowded at
the time and q song and dance team
was doing the entertaining To gain
q. little time for breathing, one of the
duo remarked to the other: Have
you heard the latest Scotch joker" A
negative shake of the head followed
and the first speaker said: Harry
Lauder ia going to give SIS 900 to the
mother of the Unknown Soldier"
Many laughs followed and as the
noise Quieted down somewhat. a dis
tinct hiss came from the left side of
the orchestra seats. Instantly all was
quiet and as heads turned to the left,
the originator of the joke remarked:
Evidently a Scotchman." At this
point tall young man arose to his
feet and said: mo, I'm not Scotch,
but / think your joke is in very bad
taste. That poor boy out at Arlington
and his mourning mother should be
hallowed in the minds Of all good
Americans and not figure in jokes"
The cries of approval that followed
the little speech almost shook the
house and for few minutes things
had a squally look for the pair on
the stage. Finally, by raising his
hand and walking to the front of the
stage. partial quiet was restored by
the actor, and he said: Il apologize
for my thoughtlessness and the
gentleman is entirely right. / served
three years in France with an Ohio
regiment and I'll guarantee you all
that my joke will never be repeated
by me and if l hear 1t anywhere l
am going to call down the speaker
Just as this gentleman has done"
The apology saved the day, APP
plause followed and the act went on.
First Nighter tried TO get the re-
buker's name, but he was refused.
The young man remarked that
similar Joke would have caused a riot
In any other country.
No matter whether Italians are
born in Italy among romantic sur
roundings or in the byways of our
big cities, they appear to have at
least some music in their souls and
now and then a real star shoots
across the horizon. The latest genius
in the vocal world is Marie Vero. who
recently graduated from Manhattan
Public School No. / and been &C
claimed by voice critics and theater
men as the vocal find Of the genera
ton. In her appearance at Keith's
last week Miss Vero created some
thing of a sensation, demonstrating
conclusively that in a years time she
would be out in front with the real
prima donnas of grand opera.
