to the CONSERVATION of his audience
shortly after his arrival in Canada on
an imperial drumming mission. Bald
win and two whole princes are out to
sell the empire to the Canucks. There
is no attempt to cloak the mission in
a grandiloquent fog of the fancy
phrases that British diplomats usually
deliver when putting over a business
proposition. This is at least some
thing to be thankful for. So far the
prince has not fallen off horse. Per-
haps he is keeping on the wagon, tho
his eyes don't look it.
BROADWAY ticket agencies that
- have been making fortunes milk
ing the visitors from Yonkers and
Hoboken have promised to be good
in the future. There will be no more
scalping and the theatre managers
will not insist on a bonus from the
| agencies. Neither will the thirty
dollar-a-week ticket office boys ac-
cept two, three, four and five hundred
dollars a week for rendering favors
to the scalpers. Human nature is GO
ing to change suddenly-until the
| tumult and the shouting dies down
and the newspapers, prosecutors and
those who did not get theirs are salts
fled, either with publicity or with
something more substantial.
A CHRISTIAN scientist looks almost
a as dignified as a Unitarian but he
is as crazy as a follower of Uldine
Utley under the influence of dog-bite.
Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, who claims
to be follower of Mother Eddy an
nounced that Mrs. Eddy would soon
reappear in the flesh and further
more that Mrs. Stetson would live
forever. The metropolitan dailies
featured this mental offal on the
front page with picture of Mrs.
Stetson that would stop a blind mule.
On the next day large advertisements
appeared in the same paper featuring
a Mrs. Stetson with a face that
would make Peggy Joyce look to her
mud pack. Money makes the woman
as well as the man in these days.
MRS. Stetson is at loggerheads with
lh the Christian Science Church and
instead of invoking the spirit Of Mrs.
Eddy,--who is absent tho not dead
to settle the matter the scientists are
having recourse to a court. just like
the pope who is quite nifty at curing
the sick by prayer, but relies on a
physician to wrestle successfully with
his rheumatism. What Mrs. Stetson
and her fellow-frauds are quarreling
about is not the embalmed spiritual
gizzard of Mrs. Eddy but the dough
that the suckers enabled the Christian
Science church to accumulate.

tudes murmured IN player and said
"praise god" and "bless he,lord." And
Minnie being full of the holy spirit
of forgiveness said naught of the little
cottage by the sea or the radio opera
tors romance. For she had found
solace in the lord and in her share of
the million dollar business that she
and Aimee had build up. And 10 the
suckers rose up and gave thanks that
the devil was ousted from the tenn
pie. And they gave offering to the
lord which was collected by Aimee.

dollars in return for supplying Demp-

shall look forward with pleasant an
ticipation to the outcome because it is
good for the health to be like ordinary
mortals once in a while. And here
we shed tear for the Gold Star

Jack Dempsey who worked in the
shipyards while her son was pa

it is a glycerine tear. We cannot pep

They should blame Morgan.
