Shaw, Ten Years Older Than filling King, Is Still Full of Pep at Age of 72.

London. March II ReBernard Shaw has written another play. "The Apple Cart"
 The famous Irish dramatist. sage. philosopher. and prophet-has peep ed into the future and woven an ultra-modern political plot, as un- like. Saint Joan," his last play as anything can be. That is about all the public will know about "The Apple Cart" until Sir Barry Jackson produces it in his theater festival at Malvern in August.
 The mere announcement of a new Shaw play caused renewed search for information about the foremost man of the English theater. who liv- ing in the heart of London, over looking the sweep of the Thames from Westminster to Charing Cross and St. Paul's, busies himself on big tablets of green paper. writing meticulous. elementary shorthand notes, with all the vowels in place, that mean a new Shaw book or drama.
 Must Re Green Paper
 The paper must be green. At first thought a bit of the eccentricity of genius. or lingering Irish senti- mentality. Actually it is q common sense relief of eyestrain.
 ''G. B. S." is one of the great fis- ures of the times, but little is known of Bernard Shaw the man: how he works and plays. lives his pleasant. quiet home life, maintains multi plicity of interests. keeps up to the chin in affairs of the day. does tre- mendous literary work, and shows no signs of quitting.
 Shaw at 72, healthy, vigorous, en- thusiastic, sticks to London and revels in life. King George, nearly ten years his junior has just es- caped deaths door. Other public men. all younger, flee England's treacherous climate at this time of year. Shaw works away on a vege- ta rian and fruit diet, is rarely ill, and laughs at men who insist meat and alcohol are necessary for sus- tained menal effort.
 Busy. foggy London holds him as 1t has for the fifty years since he fared forth from Dublin More plays and books to write, more vivid opin- ions to express, more causes to ad- vocate. Rich enough to idle away old age in villa in the south of France, Shaw keeps faith with his creed of intense work, equally in- tense fun, plain living and high thinking.
 Whiskers Now Hoary
 The years slip by; the red beard of youth, snow white now, lends venerable. even patriarchal appear ance to the famous Mephistophelian countenance, But Shaw doesn't de- sert his muse, The new play brings his dramatic work to nearly 40 in 50 years, as many as Shakespeare himself, not to mention half a doz- en forgotten novels: and not for gotten books on government, poli- tics, criticism, dramatic reviews, prefaces. political propaganda. and translations.
 Still the Shavian pen pours out a flood of brilliance. Last year he completed his book on Socialism and Capitalism, the year before. Saint Joan:" before that, Back to Methuselah," which takes five nights to act.
 Of his many sided genius, Amer ica knows Shaw, the dramatist. and something of Shaw tho political Twenty thousand cop

Mexican immigration Rules

I Mexican immigration officials have ordered that
all persons crossing into that couf . y at Brownsville
have passports. Citizens of Brownsville can secure
courtesy cards good for one year. Tourists must visit
the office Of the consul each time they desire to en-
ter Mexico and secure a passport.
At Rio RIGA, south Of Mercedes, much the same
regulations are in effect. Also at Roma and Laredo.
zapata and Reynosa ports of entry seem to be IN
affected.
This is along the border in Texas. Out in Lower
California, Gov. Rodriguez Of that Mexican province
has ordered that all ports of entry be closed from .
o. m. to 6 a. m. each day, even stopping trains. "A
nostponement of so days from July l has been op-
tanned in this order, but Governor Rodriguez seems
mite firm in his intention to eventually enforce IT,
IL the very hinderance to rail communication pc
tween the two countries, to say nothing OF the NEON
venience to citizens who reside on either side OF the
border.
There may be several reasons for this present cpl
damic of restrictions on free communication between
the two countries and there probably are.
But It is certain that the attitude for the United
states government toward Mexican immigrants in the
past several months has played an important part IN
the agitation. The strict regulations promulgated ny
the Mexican chiefs may not be reprisals, but they
serve that purpose.
On July / a law went into effect making it a fel-
ony to enter the United States Illegally, requiring that
any "wet back" be sentenced to serve a term In prison
before being deported. In the past it was considered
punishment enough for the person entering Illegally
to be returned to his own side Of the river.
Since the first of the year the border patrol has
been able, on account Of a more liberal appropriation
and an enlarged personnel, to more strictly enforce
the law and the number of deportations have shown
a remarkable increase.
Then there is the Box bill in the offing. Those
in touch with congressional sentiment say the bill
will be enacted and will become law at the next reg
ular term Of the law-making body Of the United
States.
And while all Of these bars to friendly relations
between the United States and Mexico are being
erected the gates remain wide open along the north
ern boundary Of our country.
If the quota provision is to be applied to European
nations and to Mexicans then why not to the de-
scendants of these European nations now living on
this continent?

Mellon on the War Path

Secretary Andrew W.. Mellon is on the war path.
He said that the published report that the treasury
was considering erecting a seven-foot barb wire fence
along the Canadian border to stop rum runners was
an outrageous falsehood as well as a senseless inven-
ton.
Assistant Secretary Seymour Lowman was re-
sponsible for the story. That is, he told a newspaper
man that dry members Of congress had brought up
the subject months ago." Uncle Andy is the head Of
the treasury department. He does the official speak
ing for his department. If necessary, he mows down
his assistants and their interviews, which is as it
should be. A cabinet officer should be the voice of
his department. He is responsible for his depart
ment. Now why should a little understrapper do the
talking for the big voice or the head of any depart
ment Of government?

New Controversy In
Tariff Looming Over
Administrative Angle

WASHINGTON, July 8.-(P-Ad-
ministrative provisions of the house
tariff bill, increasing the chief ex-
ecutive'S power to change import
duties, stood out today as rivaling
even the sugar schedule as a poten-
tial source Of controversy in the SEN
ate.
An organized democratic effort to
eliminate the flexible provision from
this section of the measure was
seen in the issuance by the demo-
cratic national committee of a
statement by Senator Simmons Of
North Carolina, ranking minority
member Of the finance committee,
announcing a flight to the bitter
end" against the proposal.
The statement described the fleX-
ible clause, first enacted in 1922, as
a proposition on the part Of con-
gresS to surrender this essentially
legislative function to the executive
branch of the government" and
said it involves a principle funda-
mental in our representative Sys-
tenn Of government; namely, the
right Of the people to control the
purse strings through their repre-
sentatives."
Repeal Of the clause through elm
nation of the flexible provision in
the house bill vas sought by Repre-
sentative Garner of Texas, ranking
democrat of the ways and means
committee, shortly before the meas
ure was passed by that chamber,

Washington Letter
By HERBERT C. PLUNrNIER

WASHINGTON, July 8.-For $40 a month you can
have a. Washington mailing address.
In one of the out of way office buildings here may
be found a man who is making big money with this
idea. He makes a regular business of providing
Washington mailing addresses for people or COM
panies that are located elsewhere.
Often his clients send him huge packages of let
tiers by parcel post. He remails them here SO that
they will bear a Washington postmark.
People who are selling something by mail or solic-
iting subscriptions think it helps to have their letters
bear a postmark Of the national capital. At the pres
ent this man is handling the mail of some so people.
His charge is SO a month.
All Of which, according to postal authorities, is
strictly legal.
The associate professor Of English at George
Washington university has been chosen to teach the
ways Of Americans to a 10-year old Siamese prince.
The prince is a nephew of the king of Siam. He
was sent to Washington in charge of the Siamese
minister to this country to learn to speak English.
The minister turned him over to Mr.. and Mrs. Rob-
ert w. Bolwell.
Prof. Bolwell says the young prince is acquiring
American ways rapidly. The other day he was in
vited to a birthday party to be given for another little
Siamese boy. Six or eight Of his fellow countrymen
were present.
The prince wanted to take a birthday present to
his host. Prof. Bolwell gave him a dollar to make the
purchase. After the party has was asked what he
bought.
Chew gum" replied the prince. whole dollar
worth. Boys all like"
Subsequent inquiry revealed that 80 packages of
gum had been bought, at the bargain rate Of three
for a dime, and that the guests had chewed gum all
the afternoon.
Chew gum is the best thing in America" explain
ed the prince when he was asked why he chose such
a gift.
He also said the other boys concurred in his opin-
ion. They were especially fond of it because they had
never seen or heard of chewing gum in Siam.

The Once Over
RADIOS N COWS
BY H. Z. PHILLIPS

4@4DAO0 A@N@ O0N
Dairy COWS like radio programs. There is nothing
better than a good rousing ginger ale, baking soda,
automobile, canned soup or salad oil hour to make
them contented. Western dairymen have been exper-
imenting with radios in the cowsheds and they re-
port that the bovines seem happy, calm and more eff
fcient when being sprayed with tenor solos, jazz mel
odies, bedtime stories, ct cetera.
The COWS no longer have to be driven home by a
shepherd dog. They come in when they hear "Heigh-
no, Everybody, Heigh-ho!" "You Wouldn't Fool Me,
Would You?" or Button Up Your Overcoat."
If the milk doesn't taste right these days, don't
blame the COW it may be static.
Extensive tests are now being conducted from
coast to coast by nearly every farmer with one or
more cows. TUNE in on your favorite station and
get more milkI" is becoming a broadcaSting slogan.
You're the Cream in My Coffee" has produced the
best results to date, according to returns from rs
states, with 1877 cowbarns missing.
There is only one number the dairy farmers won't
allow played to the COWS under any circumstances.
That's Hold Everything"
Elmer TwitcheIl is among those experimenting.
He is always trying new stunts with his radio set,
and when he read about this he Immediately went
out and bought himself a COW. He says the radio has
worked wonders with her. "The COW" says Elmer,
"has taste. She likes classical stuff. I got three
quarts more milk than her schedule calls for the other
evening by tuning in on the Goldman band playing
Rachmaninoff's prelude. She likes Chopin and Mo-
Fart, too.
"She don't mind nanny songs and will even
listen contentedly to beauty talks, Rotary club
speeches and the baseball scores, but she rebels at
radio setting up exercises, international Kiwanis mes
sages, the stock market prices and talks on dog
breeding.
"Toscanini is one Of her favorites and she will
come ~galloping out of a brook any time to hear some
thing by Tschaikowsky The only time I ever knew
ber tn raho1 Of rodio plIrnhar pioht before
last, when a quartet sang The Old Oaken Bucket
She's a good COW and gives honest milk"
Mr.. Twitchell is thinking of swapping the COW for
a bull. He wants to determine how it will react to the
Toreador song.
