half a season, perhaps an entire season;
we can hear 1t now and again on the
orchestra as we dine, but when it comes
over the radio sometimes three and four
times a night it gets to be an entertain
ment menace.
"Take one of the old hits with these
familiar tunes made dangerously ia
miliar by air concerts and try to invest
it with new life. 1t can't be done. The
No, No, Nanettes' must lie buried with
the thing Of their day-we want new
material.
"The original cost of a picture is
nothing to consider at ALL" went on
Mr.. Schenck. Then hastily added:
Not that encourage wastefulness in
my stats. don't. But million dol
lars spent judiciously on a picture is
well spent If good results come.
THE ordinary producer of an Eastern
success spends several hundred thou
sand on a good. big musical spectacle.
Then he has weekly salary list Of, say,
sos 900. In two years run OF the thing
is a big success it will run two years.
he has a couple of million dollars. And
all this In one theater in one city.
when we finish with a movie-'have
it in the can as we say out here-it is
done for all time. The salary list is
over. From then on the picture is
public good pictures, and we should do
it."
Arthur Hammerstein, who has come
to Hollywood at Mr.. Schenck's sugges-
ton, both verbal and financial perSua-
sion, says he abandoned the Broadway
racket because of ticket spectators.
He will make stories informed by origi-
nal and new music, backgrounding the
tenor of the tale as music backgrounds
the story in opera.
Opera has lived through all these
years." says Mr.. Hammerstein, because
the music tells the story more than the
words"
Which makes me suspect strongly
that Mr.. Hammerstein has read a few
opera libretti. Nevertheless, the story
he outlined for us as his opening pic
ture is strongly reminiscent of 'Manon
Lescaut" In a modern setting and with
incidental changes as well as incidental
music.
Despite Mr.. Hammerstein's belief In
the supremacy of canned entertain
ment, David Wark Griffith, who admits
Arthur Hammerstein is q genius of
sorts, feels that until canned music is
something much better than at present
light opera as well as grand need have
no fear of immediate determination
There will be good field for it in those
cities Where IL Is available and Tor those
persons who have the price.
Mr.. Hammerstein referred to Ramon
Novarro as Raymond Novarro.
"Ray-moan," prompted Mr.. Schenck
with q smile.
THAT isn't the way we used to pro-
nounce it on Third avenue" said Mr..
Hammerstein.
When the village begins to smile at
itself the village begins to grow up.

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Law of Kindness.

"In her tongue is the law of kind
ness. Proverbs, xXxi:26.
We do not commonly think Of kind
ness as something binding upon us.
We think of it as something that We
may render or not render, according
to our pleasure. But here Solomon
speaks of kindness as law. In her
tongue is the law of kindness" And
this law is an binding upon us as any
other law. Kindness is by no means a
matter that we are free to exercise
or not, just when or where we may
please. It is law that demands
obedience whether it suits us or not.
We are under obligation to show kind
ness whenever or wherever there is
need and opportunity, even though the
time and occasion may not dispose us
to do so.
And let it be remembered that we
suffer from diSobedience to this law,
just as we suffer from disobedience to
any other. The penalty is a worse
imprisonment than being imprisoned
behind iron bars. If we make a prac-
tice of withholding kindness, we soon
impriSon ourselves in the narrow prison
of selfiShness and an unhappy existence.
The most miserable people in the world
are those who habitually neglect to be
kind and shut themselves up to a per-
sonal and selfish life.
On the other hand, obedience to the
law of kindness brings high rewards.
We are made to be kind and helpful
to one another, and it is through full
filling this law of our being that we
realize the most beautiful compensa-
tons of life. We realize the best in
our own lives in proportion as we live
in the lives of others. 1t is through
showing kindness to others that the
greatest good comes to us.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

November IS, I86O.-The agent of
the Associated Press in Washington has
sent out the following Geographic dis
patch, which was printed In tdoay's
newspapers:
LAS far as can be ascertained, there
is no disposition either on the part of
the administration or of gentlemen of
political prominence here to interfere
with the present Southern movements,
except, perhaps, in friendly spirit. It
is now probable that the President will
soon issue an address or proclamation,
cas- the election of delegates to the South
Carolina convention is to take place
at an earlier day than was recently
anticipated, and in consequence there
would not be sufficient time for the
general circulation of an appeal through
the Presidents annual message, as orig
inally contemplated. The subject was
Cast night under consideration.
"It is understood that Corwin of
Ohio can, If he will. occupy prom
inent position in Mr.. Lincoln's cab
met, and in the event of his declining
to do SO an invitation will be exteded
to Mr.. Ewing or Mr.. Vinton Of the
same State. Messrs. Graham and Bad
ger of North Carolina are also conf
IDENTIFY mentioned in this connection"
The correspondent adds that Presi-
dent Buchanan has headed a subScrip-
ton list for the relief of the sufferers
in Kansas with 500 and given assur-
ance that he will appeal to Congress
in their behalf.
1.-THE Washington National Volun-
teers," says dispatch from Washing
ton, printed in the Mercury of Charles
South Carolina In case of her with
nj from q
here are with South Carolina"
This dispatch is dated washington,
November T." and is contained in the
edition Of the Mercury just received
here. In reprinting it, The Evening
Star today adds: well, it is certain
that many of the Volunteers left this
city rather suddenly the day after the
assault upon the 'Wigwam' and we dare
say now they have gone to South Caro-
lima"
1t will be remembered that during
the excitement here over Mr.. Lincoln's
election on the night of November 6
a big crowd, cheering the National
Volunteers" formed a procession on
Pennsylvania avenue and marched to
the Republican "Wigwam," corner of
Indiana avenue and Second street, ar
irving shortly after midnight, and not
long after Republican meeting there
had adjourned.
The door of the "Wigwam" was
broken open, pistols were fired and
stones were thrown, smashing the win
doWS. The men then rushed into the
hall and demolished its contents.
During the rioting the crowd kept
cheering Breckenridge and Lane
The leaders of the rioters were later
arrested and are now being tried before
Justice Dom.

ing machine and a seam taken deep
enough to include the torn area.
It is surprising how completely de-
ceptive such a method of mending be-
comes. The back of the heel and lower
stocking portion look like that OF new
hosiery. Most stockings will stand a
little reshaping at the ankle, and If
the seam is well tapered as it progresses
up the stocking leg the mend is unde-
tectable.
One very well dressed woman, eX-
ceedingly particular about her footwear
and stockings, prefers this method of
mending, even when the darn required
would not be very large. The trim as
pect of heel and ankle are well pre-
served.
If one uses the precautionary method
of strengthening the heel by tiny
crossed running stitches when the heel
fabric starts to get thin and then, when
1t has actually worn away, employs the
mending method described, there is
never a blemish Of a darn on the heel
of ones stocking. The most faStidious
woman can resort to this type of
stocking salvage and exercise an econ
omy which would amount to a consid-
cradle number OF dollars In the course
Of year.

Banana for q Baby.

Ripe banana is not only highly nutri-

and orange. which has 240 calories in
the pound), but Is In itself fairly well
balanced meal, providing 1.3 per cent

ties of Vitamins A, B, G, even a bit OF
vitamin E, though not enough vitamin
D (Which prevents ricketts, to meet the
requirements Of human nutrition. In
vitamin C (Which prevents scurvy) ba-
mana will serve very well instead OF
orange or tomato, or may be used in
the baby's diet for this purpose as a
variation from orange Juice or tomato
juice.
I'd gladly stretch q few points and
hazard my hard-earned reputation for
being poor but honest to assure earnest
young mothers that banana might be
used in lieu of cod liver Oil to provide
an adequate ration of vitamin D In the
baby'S diet If 1t were so. But, alasl the
fates are against us. It does seem that
we had Just about administered the
coup de grace to the old castor oil COM
pick and were ready for three rousing
chortles from all the sad young ones,
when along came this big push for vita
min D, which makes 1t incumbent on all
good doctors or health authorities to
promulgate the slogan, 1.-THE Healthy
Way-Once Every Day Cod Liver OIL
the Baby"
Believe me, I'd never flavor the ba-
mana with cod liver oil If dared omit
it. But when I think of babies raised
without any cod liver oil have dread
full visions of thousands of little bow
legged, pigeon-breaSted, hump-backed,
Square-headed, hammer-down, pale,
f1abby bimbos who got that way because
their parents failed to feed 'em enough
vitamin D or didn't even let the poor
little tikes have any free sun baths when
sunlight was to be had without cost.
Several months ago I told about the
remarkable advantages DR.. Ludo Mey-
Senbug of New Orleans has found in
banana diet for babies from months
! to years of age. Not exclusive banana
diet, but just a reasonable amount Of
well ripened banana every day in addi-
ton to the regular milk diet. It starts
some puny infants gaining steadily in
weight; it completely cures some who
have been suffering from undernutrition
with marked constipation as one of its
manifestations.
| Here 1t seems worth while to tell all
the dumb young mothers that under
feeding, insufficient food, is the usual
cause of constipation in infants, and re-
sort to physics, enemaS and other arti-
fetal aids is only contributing factor.
| But, shucks! when these dumb young
mothers are armed with some antique

and opportunity make possible. Each OF
us Is the sum of his SenSibilitieS.
Yet in all things overdone there IS
danger, and in none so plainly as in the
overserSitive life. Children are much
too sensitive, to intense in likes and dis
likes, too capricious and Self-willed emo
tionally. They must be toughened to
bear the blows of reality and to lose
their fears and diSguStS, to learn to en-
dure without upset and to subject sensi-
bility TO the sterner commands of duty.
But they must not be dulled or hard
ened.
Sensibility, too, is gained at a price.
The sensitive shudder more often than
they thrill; the depths of their sorrows
and despairs exceed the common meas
ure even more than the height of their
thrills. The dull may be happier, yet
lose the momentary acme Of bliss open
to the sensitive. Neither for comfort
nor for happiness should sensibility be
carried too far. We agree that we must
be built for workaday world, yet may
still make a worthy place in it for the
master quality.

BRIDGE TALKS
BY MRS. JOHN MUNCE. JR.

Continuing the discussion of suit
raises, the second situation under which
third hand should advance his partners
bid of one to two is when dealer bids
suit and second hand doubles. What Is
third hand required 10 hold to be able
to raise his partners bid from one to
Two? Second hands double indicates
strength in the other three suits, or
strength at least in three suits, and
1t is possible that he is short in the
suit bid by dealer, therefore it Is prob
able that your partner has bid with
ample strength in his suit, but Is lack
ing in side strength. Therefore, strength
in trumps in this position beyond the
normal support in trumps is not as val
liable as strength in the other suits
But third hand can safely raise his
partner from one to two If he holds
normal support in trumps and two
raises. He should bid two to prevent
the fourth hand from making an in
tormatory bid in answer to his part
ner'S double. To illustrate: Dealer bids
one heart, second hand doubles and
third hand holds the following:
65saTts.5Kins. !, s, D
diamonds, 2.
Clubs-oueen, Jack, 9, 8, Z.
BY second hand doubling the one
heart he tells his partner he has
strength in three suits and is asking
him to bid one no trump If he Fourth
han0 has the hearts stopped; If not,
to bid his best suit. With the above
holding, third hand would advance his
one heart to two hearts.
The third situation is when your
partner has bid suit and there has
been an intervening bid of another suit.
TO raise your partner you should hold
normal support in trumpS, plus two
tricks, and the most valuable extra trick
you can hold Is one in the suit bid by
your opponent. The following is an IL
lustratton of such hand: Dealer has
bid one heart and there has been an
intervening bid Of two diamonds and
third hand holds the following cards:
ssp oadfsAce, !, s.
Diamonds-Kine, 9, O.
Clubs-10, 8, 8, 2.
This hand contains normal support In
trumps in the three small hearts, a
trick in the ace of spades, and the card
which makes your raise possible Is the
king OF diamonds, stop in the suit bid
by your opponent.
The fourth situation is when dealer
bids a suit, second hand passes and the
third hand advances his bid to prevent
a lead-directing bid by the fourth hand
and by this advancing bid tells his part
ner that he prefers the suit bid by him
to any other combination. He should
have at least four tricks in his hand.
To illustrate: Dealer bids one heart,
second hand passes and third hand,
holding the following raises his part
ner's bid to two hearts:
Spades--None.
Hearts-King, 8, 7, 8.
Diamonds-Ace, z, 5, 4.
Clubs-Ace, king, Z, 5, 8.
With this holding you would not bid
a no trump, due to the blank suit, and
you would not bid two clubs, because
this would be a denial of normal sup
port in trumpS for the heart bid. But
with strong hand like this, raise your
partners bid Of one to two.
