IL the worst week of the year: but
the 80 per cent flop record applies
for the season now half gone. and
1t shows no evidence of improving.
At this distance the reason is
hards to seek. Perhaps there are
fewer visiting buyers in town. few
err butter and egg men mixing much
pleasure with little business. Per-
haps the native New Yorker is tired
of the wiles of the ticket spectators.
or perhaps he is put to too much
traffic inconvenience In getting to
and from the midtown playhouses.
Perhaps the legitimate stage has
alienated thousands Of former play
goers who have become disguised
with sociology plays. Thousands may
be discouraged at the high prices for
admission. Perhaps the advent of
the talkies has had bad effect.
The 25 dark theaters show no
profits; more than half of those still
lighted up show no profits. Yet we
would not be surprised to discover
that a new theater is to be built
after the holidays; or perhaps sew
eral.

BEFORE THE SENATE

After much discussion and con-
siderable delay the Senate foreign
relations committee has sent the
Kellogg BRAND pact to the Senate.
The vote in committee Of ~ to 2
was overwhelming in favor OF the
treaty, but did not include Messrs.
Moses and Mclean, who did not
vote. Both OF these, 1t is stated. will
take their fling at parts Of the treaty
on the floor OF the Senate.
Opinion in Washington seems to
be that the multilateral treaty will
receive favorable action by the Sem
ate. and the President has been 20
assured.
There has been slight opposition
to the treaty throughout the coun-
try. The press seems to be unani-
mously in favor of it. Religious Or
CARNATIONS and their adherents have
been pronouncedly in its favor. In
deed. it is difficult to locate voices
OF opposition anywhere. The wide
spread belief seems to be that the
treaty is a step forward. 1t certainly
represents the most enlightened
opinion of the age in which we live.

Q. Ii there anything that will
brighten furnished metal fringe OF
cloth?
A. Alcohol applied with .
sponge is recommended.
Q. Why is the driver of an au-
tomobile called a chauffeur?
A. There is no good reason why
this is so. 1t Is French word
and literally means "a fireman..
The only explanation is that when
automobiles were beginning to be
produced commercially in this coun-
try French terms were applied to
them. The term chassis for the
frame and working parts of a motor
car was taken from the French
word for frame. Limousine is
also French word which in that
language means a windflower or
anemonc.
Q. Why are gold and silver coins
millcds around the edges?
A. To keep the coins from being
worn or Clipped.
@. What Is the food OF terrapin?
A. Vegetable food. fish, reptiles

New York and Philadelphia has per-
mitted Its general manager. Grover

sence In order to become the police
commissioner OF New York City

Being police commissioner of New
York is the worlds most unthank-
full job. Reformers have had 1t, and
with scarcely any exceptions they
have found conditions insurmount-
able. The size Of the city and the
pressure for favors from all direc-
tons soon begin to tell. Warren. like
others before him. had ideals when

MOSES OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

One is inclined 10 inquire whether
the people of New Hampshire arc
pleased and proud of Senator Moses
in his new role of chief obstruction
ist of the administration multilat-
eral treaty. Now that Borah has de-
serted the irreconcila bles, johnson
OF California has become plant,
Reed Of Missouri is a lame duck,
and Mclean of Connecticut is re-
firing from politics. there remains
only Senator Moses as the gentle
man who doesn't take his politics
from the White House the leading
Republicans or from elsewhere. The
outlook is that before President
Coolidge leaves Washington he will
stamp Moses as the chief opponent
of administration measures having
to do with foreign policy. Obviously.

PROHIBITION IN THE CLOUDS

Leadville, Colo. nestles 10000
feet above sea level 1t is the highest
city in America. 1t is somewhat iso-
lated, too. and there has been 4 no.
ton in the town from the time of its
founding that law and order there
should be of local manufacture
only. 1t has been called by visitors
as the most lawless town in Amer
ica but that didn't reform 1t. To
this day it has been inclined to go
along in its own way. an oasis In a
desert of prohibition.
One reads with amazement, there
fore. that the federal prohibition
constabulary are attempting to re-
form it. The mayor and ten city
officials have been indicted for
countenancng open law defiance:
raids were perpetrated while the
Thermometer registered Is degrees
below zero-which is something of
mean average" for the city in the
clouds.
It appears that this former gold
mining metropolis never heard Of
the prohibition law; at least. IT look
cd that way along the main street.
where saloons and gambling houses
operated wide open. Indeed. they
had never been closed. even when
the 18th amendment was first pass
ed.
Reforming Leadville, however.
will be an even harder task than re-
forming Broadway. Who ever heard
OF reform in a gold mining town?
Unless the federal agents camp In
the town regularly the, situation Is
quite HOPELESS. BY looking on the
map one finds Leadville tucked
away UP in the mountains near the
great divide. sufficiently isolated to
take life as the toWnsmen sec tit.
The town. We take it. will continue
TO believe in home rule. Folks who
don't like saloons needn't live there.
is the epitome of local wisdom

FORCED INTO PEACE

Those who from the first were Of
the opinion that Bolivia and Para
quay would ultimately settle their
differences around q green table
rather than resort to the expedient
Of shooting at one another seem to
have won the argument. After
Paraguay in loud accents told the
world she was ready to mediate 1t
took Bolivia just IL hours to realize
that if she now went forward with
her dogs OF war public opinion
would be strongly against her. the
League of Nations might denounce
her as an aggressor entitled to punt
tive measures, or the COLOSSUS Of
the north''-which owns almost
everything in the country-might
take serious umbragc and do some-
thing about it under the interpreta-
tions of the Monroe Doctrine. the
Pan-American Union, or the Pan
American Conference on Arbitra-
ton. The cards We're stacked SO
strongly against Bolivia that its wise
men seem to have realized that the
time to calm the wild Indians OF the
back country has arrived, and that
the fancy army will have to remain
all dressed up with no place to go.
The war fever has died down over
night to such an extent that the
worst one hears about it Is that both
sides still have their troops 'mobil-
lied" but that orders have gone
forth to hold everything tightly in
check, and IL anyone accidentally
shoots off gun he will be sum-
marily court martialed.
There was q time when a runpus
in South America would have had
much difficulty in attaining world at
tention: especially between two such
sixth-ratc powers as Bolivia and
Paraguay The fact that the world
took such extraordinary notice Of
the row between these two puny
disturbers of the peace must indi-
cate that our sensibility about this
sort of thing is vastly greater than
it once was.
Bolivia could not Ace the con-
domination of the world. In the days
Of comic opera desperadoes in South
America. when anybody with fol-
lowing and few guns could start a
shooting scrape, nobody would have
paid the slightest attention to the
seizure of so-called forts manned by
six men and a donkey, nor to the
milling around amid the under
growth and cactus, or whatever
grows down that way The gang
would have been safe to ply the war
trade until the last man was shot
down while singing the national
anthem. But these are different
times. The South American states
have acquired stature. they belong,
or are invited to belong, to leagues,
conferences and what-not. Their
diplomats, briskling with whjskers
and dignity, are allowed to enter
gatherings where social register
diplomats also foregather: OCCASION
ally they are permitted to express Q
few opinions. and that makes them
feel important. All OF this being
more or less true, they must also
play the part of gentlemen and
listen to reason.
