 The mans energy is lirnitless when the number of bills in which he shows an interest is considered.
 From February IT to March 1 of this year he had something to say on the floor of the house at more than 40 different times.

ION WITH THE SHOW"
 LAST TIMES TONIGHT

"On With the Show is the most glamorous picture Of the stage and stage people ever filmed. The story is unusual and the perfect rendition of speech, song and music together with the fact that all is ; seen in soft and glowing natural colors, makes it absolutely en- thralling. It is at the Coliseum for the last two showings tonight.
 It all happens in small Jer- sey town, where the prospective Broadway musical show is doing a hideaway. The play has an "an- gel" who has been furnishing the money because he wishes to win favor with Sally O'Neill who acts as check girl. Her father, played by Thomas Jefferson, affectionately known as Dad" has taken all his savings out of the local bank to save the play from disaster. The "angel' is unsuccessful in his ef- forts to make" Sally, because she is ardently loved by Jimmy, the head usher, who believes that she . should be the star, instead of Nita, the dancer. After some ex- citing moments in which heads are not handled any too gently and the box office is robbed, Nita finds how the land lies and aided by few sips aqua vitae, knocked out the angel, makes him come across with the missing cash, and an- nouncing herself unable to go on with her act, lets the pretty Sally take her place.

WASHINGTON, May 13-If you would know just how powerful is that pet congressional phrase of T object" then drop in on consent calendar day in the House of Rep resentatives and watch Bill Stafford in action.
 This wiry, dark -complexioned rep resentative from Wisconsin has a field day on such occasions.
 He is a sort of one man wreck ing crew-pet bills of his colleagues and supposedly uncontested legis- lation fall quickly by the wayside due to his efforts.
 Consent calendar day in the house is the time set aside to get rid of the countless pieces of legis- |lation to which there is thought to be no real objection. However, unanimous consent must be had before such bills are passed. One man can delay action by merely rising in his seat and informing the speaker, T object"

about finding out your type and stick
ing to it-wearing eolors that are par
ticularly yours and finding and keeping
to one style of dress-the gtrlish sort,
the boyish sort, the woman-of-the-
world type, ETC., etc.
Now, suppoSing you have done this,
what about suddenly making radical
change in your type-an almost over
night change, so you will suddenly APP
pear looking quite like somebody else
Just for variety-just to stimulate the
interest of your friends, of your fianoe-
even of your husband!
This advice, Of course, is only for the
girl who has established type and
kept to it q couple Of years. Most girls
dress Unfortunately in anything that
amuses them or that is cheap; they
have no type"
But suppose you have been dressing
very severely in tailored things, in De-
coming short skirts, with neatly parted
hair very straight, and that yoEl have
never even had your nails vanished?
You've been just simple and natural.

While there was great rejoicing on

who did not share in the rejoicing,

that the time was coming, and was
