Mr.. Overlook had the play contin-
ued indefinitely.
The play proves conclusively that
the unmarried mother, provided she
has the dough is not nearly in so bad
predicament as the poor father
who is troubled with a conscience.
The acting of Thomas Mitchell as
Norman Overlook kept one from do
ing any thinking at all about the
play. He looked the personification
of trouble and if he overScted it
was just because he had either to
do that or lay off every five minutes
for want of something intelligent
to say.
There was hardly anything for
the rest OF the cast to do except to
punch the clock with the exception
of Fleming Ward, as Gilbert Rand,
Norman's friend. This young man
did a lot of talking, most of which
seemed to me unnecessary. Rather
inc Alexander as the unmarried
mother showed up for a few brief
moments and defended her point of
view rather unconvincingly. One felt
that she was liable to fall in love
with her child at any moment and
turn the tables on the author. Elvia
Enders as Madge Ferris, Mr.. Over
beck's fiance, will have to put more
pep into her love-making if she ever
wants to get anywhere in real life.

According to reports the funds of

of this is that the big business in

The democratic party is no longer

A GLEE CLUBS DEBUT.

An unusually pleasant musical eve
ming was enjoyed by large audience
in Barker Hall of the new Y. w. c. A.
headquarters on X street last night
when the newest OF local choral organ
izations. the Elizabeth Somcrs Glcc
Club. made its initial bow to public
audience. This club Is composed OF
members OF the Y. w. G. A. and IS
directed by Miss Imogene B. Ireland,
head of the music department of that
organization. There are 33 members
of the club as listed on the program
and they all seem to have fresh, un-
spoiled voices In addition they have
clear diction, singing all their songs in
English distinctly understandable. and
they had memorized their words SO
that they we're unhampcred by that
great observation-disclosures. The altos. n
section smaller in number than the
sopranos. showed fine quality but a
slight lack Of confidence. which they
will lose easily enough In frequent per-
formances. The club doubtless will
gain much in color and maturity Of
phrasing and warmth gradations of
tone later. too.
The selections that the club pre-
sented were not overly ambitious. but
they were we'll chosen. They opened
the program with Edward Germans
"OrpheuS With His Lutte" and later sang
Henry Hadley's arrangement OF The
Night Wind" mot so dramatic as Far
ley's better known setting). "Amaryl-
lis" by Glys lin which the mezzos
were effective): Wells Spring Song,
Blue Bells of Scotland" (unaccompa-
nied). and as closing number, Good
Night" Bohemian folk song
Assisting the club were two fine SOLO
lists. Marion Holmes. a soprano with
and marked intelligence in the art OF
song. won warm enthusiasm from her
audience for the group of old English
songs which she sang in costume. The
less known plague of Love" was cSpe-
cially liked. BANDS STARS in the
Dimsy" was the encore. Miss Holmes
voice seems to be eXcellently placed
and she has no tremulo. Earlier In the
evening she sang the Jewel Song
from Faust" with less distinction, for
hers Is not an operate voice. The en-
core was 20 Mic Bambino Caro-" from
Puccini's "Gianni Schichi."
Evelyn Scott, young Washington vio-
linist, played a group of Schubert num-
bers. "Minuet" of Hochstein's, Gypsy
Dance No. /" by Nachez. and was de-
cidedly at her best in Bohm's Per
petuum Mobile" She also arranged
clever little obbligato for the Well
Spring Song" which added to its at
tractiveness and was both in the mood
and discreetly proportioned to the
choral part. Catherine Benson proved
an adequate and sympathetic accompa-
mist for both Miss Holmes and Miss
Scott, and the clubs accompanist. who
according to the program. was prob
ably Vivienne WinStead. performed her
part well. There were bouquets for all

Kept His Promise to
Bring DolDn Balloon

Lieut.. Frank Luke, Jr, daredevil
American ace who brought down IA
enemy balloons during the World war
before he was killed, deliberately set
out to "get' balloons because of the
danger and difficulty involved, points
out Norman S. Hall in an article in
Liberty Magazine.
Hall reports that one day Luke
heard a fellow-member of his outfit,
an experienced veteran, say: "Any
man who gets balloon has my re-
spect, because he's got to be good or
he doesn't get it. 1 think they're the
toughest proposition a pilot has to
meet"
The next day Luke said to a men,
Der of the squadron: did you hear
what was said about balloons last
night? Well, I'm going to get one to-
day."
And, the unusual thing is that he
did,

Wrong to Call Human
Heart Automatic Pump

The accepted idea of the heart as
an automatic pump sending blood to
all parts of the body may have to be
revised.
A famous German heart specialist,
Doctor MendelsOhn, says the heart is
simply a governor to control the or
derby flow of the blood, this current
itself being due to the constant intake
and Outgo of liquid caused by chem
ical action in the body cells.
Doctor Mendelsohn says the heart,
a small muscle the size of a mans fist,
could not possibly be capable of driv-
ing the tenacious mass of the blood
through the entire body. He cites in
valids with hearts so fabby as to re-
lease scarcely any energy, yet they
lived for years with sufficient blood

A Polish man who had worked on

told by his employer that the farm
was not paying and that his services
would have to be dispensed with. The
farmer told him that there was no

to which the hired man answered that
he was ready to leave at once. He
took pickax, went to an obscure cor
ner. dug up a large milk can, brought
it in and dumped the contents on the
kitchen floor. 1t was money and
amounted to more than $1,700, money
that he had saved while in the en-
