Coincidence
D Plays Some
odd Franks
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
Fanny Brice, pet Of Broadway, has
her nose done over by plastic sur
gerry.
NirEy Arnytein, her husband, took
8 look, decided she was too beauti-
ful for him, according ~ Miss Brice,
and sought consolation away from
home.
Now perhaps Arnstein was watch
ing for straw to trip cver-such as
a nose. Or perhaps it was Fanny's
nose that he really loved before 1t
was changed. Or perhaps the nose
had nothing to do with his truancy
at all, but was merely coincidence.
I am inclined to think the latter
may have been the case. For Old
Man Coincidence is devilish fellow,

Quaint old Salem, Mass, is famous
for its architecture as well as its
witchcraft. The beautiful doors of
many Of its older houses have
achieved worldwide fame through
being pictured by the noted artist,
Wallace Nutting, and are being
copied, today. in some Of our finest
homes.
An attractive door gives charac-
ter and interest to a house whose
appearance, otherwise. would be
commonplace. But 1t is not neces-
sary to go to the expense Of remov-
ing an monumental door and put
ting a more decorative one in its
place. The plainest door may be
transformed into a thing of beauty
by painting it in one of several
picturesque ways.
For example, a house will gain In
interest by having its outside doors

painted different color from the
rest of the house. Or, the doors
may be painted to match the house
trim. Another way is to have the
doors and shutters match in color.
But an even more effective treat
ment is to paint contrasting colors
on the doors, themselves; for in
stance, have the panels one color
and the stiles another, or outline
the panels by painting the moulding
different color from the rest OF
the door, thus giving emphasis to
the design.
While a little unusual, 1t is not
at all out of place to decorate the
panels Of outside doors with stem
ciled designs.
When door is being made, it
would be attractive to have panels
of different sizes and shapes, and
then have them painted a different
color from the rest of the door.

BRIDGEPORT ILLITER.iCY

Some official in Bridgeport has made a report that 10000 adults in that city cannot read and write English and arc not citizens in the city. Naturally, there is considerable excitement. Those who don't believe the report is accurate are in the ma- iority,
 II is worth while calling attention to the fact that an inability 10 read or write English is not necessarily a sign Of illiteracy In the case of q man or woman born overseas. Most of these may be perfectly able read ITS and writers in their native Ian guago. Il is no easy thing for q for eigner to take up English late in life and become an accomplished reader and writer thereof. There is such Il thing as expecting too much.

SENATOR MOSES ASKS
 SUPPORT FOR BUTLER
Granite State Congressman Makes Personal Appeal 10 FriAds of
 Late Henry Cabot Ddge

Boston. Oct. 2S PrUned States Senator George II. Nose Of New Hampshire last night ppealed to friends Of the late Hnry Cabot Lodge to support William M. Butler for the senate in 1928. The New Hampshire senator was seaking at the Lodge Roosevelt melorial din- ner at the MiddlaSex clut
 He declared that as ear as 1922, Senator Lodge had reacha the con- cluSion that MT. Butler puld sue cced him in the senate all he was willing that 1t should be s.
 Moses thereupon impartI the in- formation to party leader. and the way was smoothed for Mt Lodges sixth nomination and the second which he gained in direct primary.
 Referring 10 the poitica battles which marked the closing lays of Lodges life, Moses asserted hat Mir, Butler had no part in the "cedless hunilations which were heaped upon the Old Lion" but tat he sought sedulously in every lrsonal way 10 show his undininsh1 re- Sp"ct for a great political leacr."
 Mr. Butler in a plea for party regularity. said: We must m for get that it is the constant ebrt of our opponents 10 encourage inde- pcndence of party, but they ,vays means independence Of ourparty and not their own"

DRAN.ATI(S IN BOSTON

With one super-city within it's borders. New England cannot help feeling friendly disposed toward any thing good that may come out of Boston. The person who dubbed the place the hub of the universe natur- ally exaggerated: but in sense it is the hub Of New England.
 Our leading city on the Charles was one of the first in the United States to start q symphony orcAes- tra; and now 1t is the only city in the United States which is operating what practically amounts to a civic thcatcr, where the only considera- ton is Art with a capital A." ana where all thought O. profit is an un- known quantity
 The account in the Herald inc other day of the Eepertory thcater in Boston was uplifting reading. The thcater had celebrated its tenth year of existence. and congratulations were on hand from large number of national personagcs, including President Coolidge.
 The President of the United states does not congratulate commercial enterprises in drama'ics; but this Roportorv tb"ator-that is some thing entirely different.
 The Reprrtory thcater ie con- sldorod such q civic enterprise that is building is exempted from taxa ton, like q museum or all art gal l"ry or q park. r. Is operated by board of trustees who serve without pay. \ permanent company is main tainod. school of etagc production Is operated, The character of plays presented show the trend of its cuI- tural influence Shakespeare is presented each season, 22 Of Shaw's 'rauas hay" been produced and the finest Of modern dramatists find ;hore ready welcome.

THE MAYORS SURPRISE

Our mayor made it plain to every one that he dislikes elections that are below par-elections in which only half the qualified voters take the trouble to go 10 the polls.
 But he went d bit farther when he said he was in favor Of voiding cleo tions that lack a popular participa- ton of 50 per cent. It's a good idea; but how can it be done? According to the law. as We understand it, the fellow getting the majority is elected regardless of the number actually voting. How could that be changed? :?
 As q theoretical proposition, how ever, one yielding flood for thought" the mayors idea registers 100 per cent perfect.
 Another way would be to have good enough issues to arouse some thing approaching white heat. But such a 1esidcratum would require less pussyfooting by the politicians on the important issues.
 The next time d first class local issue hits the council, let there be a popular referendum, preceded by soma rirS+ cIacs boIl,.booirr on botb sides We are willing to bet a nickel cigar against d lollypop that more than 50 per cent of the city's indig- nant voters would arise to save the city from going to hades.
