 Mrs. Cooks Tour" runs at forced draught An effort is made to keep steam at high pressure but the speed is so transparently artificial that it quite takes away the pleasure of those who sit on the house side of the footlights to watch Mrs. Cook run amuck in New York and Monte Carlo.
 Everything and everyone in this play is subordinated to Mary Roland who devoted nearly every minute of the action to constant chatter in 8 gushing monotone. The fact that the major task is placed on the shoulders of Miss Roland robs the play of much Of it's interest. Other persons in the cast are forced into the background to such a dis tance that they appear simply as tiny pinpoints of light revolving around a blazing sun. Tho play Wrights have concentrated on lone Characteri others are added to as list her in carrying the story through 10 the end.
 Mrs. Cook is a gay widow who has inherited million dollars from her late, but not lamontcd husband on condition that for a period Of a year no public scandal attach 10 her name. If she violates the terms of the will, the money will go 10 her sister-in-law, She flies in the face of providence, pertrrrIng to tempt tate rather than sit quietly for q year and avoid the possibility Of los ing her inheritance. Going 10 Monte Carlo. she gamblas with hearts and money, eventually returning to America and planting" for discov- cry by customs inspectors a number O. dutiable articles in her sistor-in- laws baggage so that any scandal which might be stirred up in the family would reflect on that

These accountants investigated and they mace a

returned its findings to the legislature. The report

No Hone for Peace

Josephus Daniels was the World war secretary OF
the American navy. He was one Of the pillars of the
Wilson administration for eight years. He sees no
hope for world peace. In a recent address he said:
we have the spectacle Of Great Britain tied to
The body Of death in its slavish belief in the outworn
slogan Mistress Of the Seas and the United States
equally chained to the corpse of the lettering pa
rochial slogan No Entangling Alliances I
Josephus is ~pessimistc. He declared that Just as
long as the two nations cling to those beliefs the
Geneva conference and all other conferences will fail
of their "high and holy aim" Man has been a fight
ing animal from the beginning. He has fought for
women; he has fought for gold; he has fought for
land: he has fought for all the treasures Of the earth;
he has insisted from the beginning that might makes
right.
If Josephus Daniels has the correct viewpoint, the
apostles Of the Nazarene have failed in their mission
Josephus may be mistaken. Peace, world peace. may
come some day. But just so long as. Great Britain
~arrogates to itself the right to control the seven seas
Of the world, the farewell address Of the father Of
his country will be the spiritual and political guide
book OF millions of American men and women.
They. like Washington. will battle against en-
~tangling alliances with foreign nations and foreign
people.

Mrs. Mary P. Norton, democrat Of New Jersey, Is

Mrs. Norton represents an industrial district.
Speaking of farm relief she made this declaration:
Many sins have been committed in the name OF the
farmer, but the tariff bill is the greatest sin Of all.
When the farmer finds that his family will be taxed
SOC for every 10c worth Of protection that he re-
ceives. I believe he Will begin to realize that he is

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT c. PLUADIER

WASHINGTON, June 14-Out OF the washington
navy yards into the Potomac river the other day
chugged a beautiful 40-foot launch.
On board was Mrs. Herbert Hoover. In the after
cabin with her were three or four friends.
IN the channel the launch turned its nose down.
stream. And then gathering speed to around - knots
per hour it soon was lost to sight in the direction Of
Mount Vernon.
The No. 10000 was making its maiden voyage un-
der the Hoover regime.
President Hoover ordered the yacht Mayflower into
exile, but No. 10000 was kept in Washington in the
event he ever felt the desire for recreation on water.
The launch was a part OF the Mayflower's equip
ment. It was built for President Harding. Coolidge
made use Of it during his administration.
In the language of the navy 1t is the presidential
barge" 1t was used when the president desired to
leave the yacht when on a cruise. President Coolidge
made liberal use Of 1t during his administration when
he inspected the fleet.
When not in use the launch was carried on the
Mayflower. 1t was hoisted to its position amidship
on the port side.
The No. 10000 was constructed by the govern
ment and quite a controversy arose at the time It
was being built.
1t bears the insignia Of the president Of the United
States. and is luxuriously furnished. 1t has a capac-
ity Of 81 people. including the crew OF four.
Inc launCn IS constructed OF White CeOdr plank.
The deck is spruce, and the frame is of white oak.
The cabins are paneled With mahogany. The seats
and side ladders ere distinguished by hand carving.
Silver plating enhances the beauty Of the craft. The
seats are OF real leather, and beautiful cushions are
scattered around.
The after-cabin Qor guests Is finished in duralu-
min an aluminium alloy. 1t is the type Of material
used in the construction Of the Graf Zeppelin.
CREW OF FOUR
It's crew is composed Of four men. The coxswain
is in command. The other three are the engineer and
the bow and stern hookmen.
The craft was built in the navy yards at New York
and designed by the naval bureau Of construction
and repair.
It's sister. the No. io.o91, was constructed at the
same time. and was assigned to the commander-in-
chief Of the battle fleet. This one, however, is by
no means as luxuriously QUILTED as the presidents
craft.
With the Mayflower Reconnaissance in the navy
yards at Philadelphia, the No. 10000 bids fair to rival
its parent in popularity during the Hoover admins
tration.
