had already made up my mind
that here was an act of such COM
pelling comedy and singing charm
that if had been in $40 revue,
the show would have stopped.
And did the show stop at the
Lyric yesterday? 1t sure did. Even
when the conductor of the audience
attempted to start the next act,
the audience insisted that this
team of three return.
Brandeis, Miss Carol and Mann
returned after the lights were up
for the next act. Brandeis thanked
the audience and told them that
the next act was a great act"
And it was.

bill this week is the berries. With
probable one exception this bill
runs to hits.
Brandeis is a singer. He knows

rather the power of good show
man to put over a Berlin song

with this number, but lives up 10
that degree of entertainment dur
ing the entire act.
Miss Carroll and Mann are two
eccentric comedians with Brandeis.
The combination is a comedy sem
sation. These people work with
"gusto" and how. Here is an act.
You know my idea about Arthur
Petley and his associates. This
is a comedy trampoline act. Have
seen many of them, but this is the
best on the stage today. No doubt
about it. Here is a comedian who

Capt. Collins Deplores Lack of
Respect to Dignity in
WJSV Address.

Opportunities confronting the Amer

by Capt. Paul v. Collins, commander
of the George Washington Post. No. /,
in q radio address broadcast over Sta
ton WJSV under auspices Of the Dis
trict of Columbia Chapter, Sons Of the
American Revolution.
Capt. Collins was one Of several
of patriotic addresses under direction
of a committee headed by Clayton e.
Emig.
"The essential fact" In connection
with the activities Of the American
Legion, Capt Collins said, els that the
American veterans today constitute the
strongest single organization ever
known In history. with potential power
for broad. patriotic influence too great
to be measured.
Legion" he declared, "as it was visioned
by its veteran founders, I protest
against the too common flippancy and
lack Of due respect to its dignity. The
cartuonist Is prone to depict the Lee
gionnaire as a roustabout and q dumb
bell. The politician rates the Ameri-
can Legion. too. often. as a gang or
ganized for the spoils Of war. A
United States Senator but yesterday
impugned the patriotism Of our ma
tional commander. Col. Paul v. Nc
Mutt, and called him O champion of

fears may be pacifstic, suicidal dis
armament, as now urged In some quar-
tiers.

to maintain law and order. to foster
and perpetuate a 100 per cent Ameri-
canism," he declared.

UPHOLDS U. S. PAYMENT
OF CLAIM WITH DEBT
Ruling Is Made on Settlement Of
Account Of Party Both
Debtor and Creditor.

The right Of the United States to
satisfy its claims against a party who
is both debtor and creditor Of the Gov
eminent OF the United States at the
same time has been firmly upheld by
Controller General McCarl in the case
Of the Cosmopolitan Trust Co. Of Bos-
ton, Mass. ........-..-.
The trust company. McCarl found,
was indebted to the United States for
the items aggregating $2,838.88," and
this sum McCarl ordered deducted from
a balance of $4,537.76 due the trust
company from the Government as re-
fund on income taxes. In a review Of
the case McCarl set forth the principles
involved.
Although the bank claimed the full
amount Of its tax refund, McCarl held
that at cannot be held by this Office
that the United States is required to
pay the entire amount to the liqui-
dating agent and then take its pro rata
share of the dividends made possible
thereby. On the contrary" the decision
said, "it must be held that the United
States, having money in its hands to
the extent of the debts due the Govern
ment, may refuse to pay such money
both on the authorities cited and upon
the theory that In good conscience one
ought not to be required to pay debt
due his creditor II he cannot ultimately
compel the creditor to pay debt due
him"
