SPEAKING OF A MAN
WHO is A COMEDIAN

Many a vaudeville program has

Temple, in private life the wife of
Dave Vine. is i'll.
Dave is carrying on alone. I have
always loved the barrel, Dave with
his cigar and Miss Temple. But
Dave is such a good comedian that
he stampedes the Lyric bill. He
gets wonderfully chummy. Swears
by all the laundries in the world
that his shirt is both clean and silk.
And he proves it in his own way.
He tests his voice as to song. This
is done after he has taken off his
overshoes and his overcoat. Also
after he hes ditched his cigar. This
man, Vine, does so many individual
things that he sells himself every
second he is on the stage. Here is
a nut" comedian who can teach all
the others of his class the great art
of being eccentric upon the stage,

Deeper Music

Human nature is so constituted
that 1t demands deeper music than
the clink of gold. Money is, per-
haps. the least important thing with
which to start a movement or sup
port tyranny.
AS matter Of record and outside
the industrial field it has killed
about every movement and about
every, regime in which it was con-
spicuous.
The Anti-Saloon League has
suffered almost complete collapse due
to the contributions of rich men.
There is no party or reform in this
country than can survive the public
suspicion that it is controlled by
money.
The great danger of money lies in
the development of a system where
by estates and fortunes could be
preserved in spite of the weak spots
in families. or the influence of in.
ventions. II the trust company ever
gets to the point where it can pre-
serve the family chest, regardless of
family character or efficiency, the
government will have to take hand.

Gas Masks in Congress-

The other day. in the British House of Com.
MONS Commander Kenworthy, World War veteran
asked the government to supply gas masks to the

Their mental approach to any

Other Factors

Money, as we understand it, is not
only dynamic, but depends in large
measure on invention, discovery, and
the exploitation of natural resources.
Its very nature forces it to move
from field to field, and consequently,
from family to family.
That explains its temporary power,
it's passing from group to group, and
the tricks it plays with children who
ought to be rich, or children who
ought to be poor, because of the
amount of it their fathers possessed.
If you examine the sources from
which men have drawn power, you
will find that money is the least en-
during and the least dangerous.

Pclacc the first half is a splendid act
featuring this young man in many
quick change specialties besides the
eye pleasing ensemble Of girls used

Baker is one of the fastest per-
formers we have ever seen in the
art Of changing his complete costume
in fraction of a minute.
He is on the stage in one costume,
walks around a screen and comes
out on the other side in a complete

poscdly in India, the three girls used
made a most striking appearance
Their dance perhaps was not wholly
Indian, but that didn't matter. The
scene was for the eyes and in our
opinion was more than successful.
Fred Lightner and company is an
act laid on shipboard and has a few
interesting parts. Outstanding in this
number are two girls who sing
harmony and do a snappy black bot
tom at the close.
Morley and Anger have some
comedy in their act and the woman
sings several songs. Ends with
some harmony by the two that goes
over quite we'll.
Tenor and bass have united in the
act of McGrath and Deeds and the

Scripture: Read Luke 14:25-35.
For the flesh lusteth against the

BE not overcome of evil, but over

See Luke 9:57-62; Rom. $40, 20.
Meditation: 1t is not a question of
how great the opposition is, but of
how strong the spirit within me is.
Given vigor of spirit, the greater the
struggle. the larger the life. When
goodness overcomes evil, grace
grows within. The season that
brings us to the study of Christ's
temptation and ours reveals to us
the reality of spiritual experience.
Intelligence, backed by spiritual
earnestness, would solve the prob

There are seven high priests of
pay taxes on incomes of more than
$5,000,000 each.
Some, if not all, of them must re-
ceive vastly more than that since
they pay on an aggregate of $751;.
3S2,S63, which divided by seven gives
an average of $S,76S,9S0.
Such an income equals practically
$4,000 a day. $1,000 an hour or
$16.67 a minute. 1t represents the
earning capacity of at least 5000
laborers, and if paid in silver dollars
would weigh upwards of $50 tons.

How did the baltimore oriole" get

its name?
The designation was given by
Carolus Linnaeus, the Swedish
naturalist whose first specimen came
from Maryland. 1t was a compli-
mentary allusion to the fact that the
colors of the male were the same as
the livery of Sir George Calvert, first
Lord Baltimore, who was then pro-
prietor of the colony of Maryland.
On account Of its gay plumage it
also has been called golden robin,
firebird and fire hangbird. Males are
about inches long. with plumage
of brilliant fire orange, and the head,
neck, back wings and middle tail
feathers are black, and there Is con-
siderable white on the wings. The
female is somewhat smaller and
much paler, and the black Is more
or less obscured by olive. The young
of both sexes resemble the fen,Sle
