'The cage was 'he biggest honky

And Lottic-she was divine. All

played the Bird Cage were Frederick
Ward. Charles Il. IIanford and Theo-
dorc Roberts.
Each performance round the SHOW
house crowded. The miners would
sit on one side Of the hall and the
cowboys on the other. When the
show wasn't so good, the crowd
didn't hesitate to say so. Often
there was more entertainment in
the audience than on the stage.
Whenever one Of the cowboys
would get too drunk and let his
legs hang over the balcony rail.
some miner would shoot the heels
of his boots off. And then. Bill

BRITON HOLDS
NAVAL FARLEY
GREAT SUCCESS
Lord Alexander Points Out
important Results of
Arms Conference.
BY HENRY T. RUSSELL
United Pres stan Corresnondenf

copyright. 1880. in all countries by
United Press; all rights reserved)
LONDON, May 21.-Results of
the London naval conference cor
stituted the greatest step ever taken
in the general evolution of disarma-
ment, A. v. Alexander, 6rst lord of
the admiralty. said in an interview
with the United Press.
Alexander stressed three points in
particular:
l. Whereas the Washington treaty
resulted in race for large cruisers
to Offset the loss of power due to
the scrapping of battleships, the
London conference, by limiting all
combatant categories of ships for
the three greatest naval powers,
eliminated naval competition be-
tween them.
2. The limitation figures actually
agreed to in London were very much
lower than those which Britain I'M
successfully proposed at Geneva in
1927.
3. Even though Franco-Italian
agreement was not reached at the
London conference, both powers
were able to discuss the possibility
of an agreement, which is more
than was accomplished at Geneva
in 1927 when not even the partici-
patton of France or Italy was
secured.

Sitting in a gilt room of a Fifth

Sound, he suggested, is desirable;
it is even necessary. But to fill an

Trades against golf, says an ar

might have added to them the def.
milton of the game said to have
been supplied by an Edinburgh pro
fess0r after an unfortunate expe
rience: Golf is a game in which
the player attempts to place a bah
very hard to hit in hole much
too small for the purpose with i'm.
plements very ill-designed for the
task
That seems to sum up the spe'
ciaI beauties Of golf withour going

OLD FOLKS SAY
DR.. CALDWELL
WAS RIGHT

The basis of treating sickness has not
changed since DR.. Caldwell left Medical
College in 1875, nor since he placed on
the market the laxative prescription he
had used in his practice.
He treated constipation, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositions
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These are
still the basis of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, a combination of senna and
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa-
tion, the safer for the child and for you.
And as you can get results in mild
and safe way by using DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugsH
A bottle will last several months, and
all can use it. II is pleasant to the
taste, gentle in action, and free from
narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal.
All drug stores have the generous bottles,
