This fact is the most interesting phase Of the
0eof6e Bernard Shaw fuss with an American
theatrical man who, despite Shaw's protest, has
j1st 1ublished some correspondence which he had
with that worthy quarter of q century ago.
The, theatrical man, being young and unafraid
then, suggested that he produce Of Shaw's plays
On royalty basis.
The letter by return post contained many juicy
tidbitSs Among them

wu would know that the easiest road to theatrical
success is to give the average theatergoer what he

1T would be safer to keep saloon, but the
principle is the same; for just as you can depend
sa5solntaly upon men wanting drink, you can
depend en- them wanting certain types of melodrama
and exhibitions of pretty women"
5Shaw attempted to forbid publication Of the letter.
Bpt the old rule of FINDERS keepers" holds true in
tn American postoffice realm, and the letter was
printed.
aAs far as content goes, it is hard to understand

Why Put the Bonus in Pawn?
(Msunno nnlsc 1n,,ruoh

Why the rush to borrow on veterans bonus GER
tificates the moment such borrowing becomes per-
Missile?
Why forfeit large share of the value of paid
up endowment policy by pawning it, as it were?
Because the boys need the immediate cash !?
Doubtless some of them do. But great many other
borrowers doubtless do not need it as badly as they
seem to think At least, not badly enough to put
in jeopardy future borrowing right that some day
may be fesaver. .
Todays loan value of thousand dollar policy,
or certificate, with eighteen years yet to rum is
only $8793. Suppose this sum is borrowed six
months at six per cent. The veteran who thinks
he cannot get along without pawnng his policy for
1898 today, is more than likely to find himself
unable to pay the principal and interest and take
the policy out of pawn, six months hence.
In which case, the lender under the law, keeps
the security another six months, after which the
veterans bureau takes it off his hands, for prin.
cipal plus interest
Seventeen years thereafter, the borrower, if still
alive is entitled to his thousand dollars less $S793
less the compound interest 1878 at six per
cent for eighteen years
Roughly, he will be entitled to about $735, in
stead Of his thousand If he dies in the meanwhile
principal and interest will be deducted from ths
amount paid his family.

The sum of thousand dollars is used here t
represent an arbitrary average. The ultimate cash

cents ever fifty dollars up to few dollars under
two thousand.
But in any case, the ratio Of loss that can be in
