comedy There isn't subtle moment in the whole
thing and there rough ones, the show being
held to the level of purity and sweetness of the maya
zine after which it is named There the connection
ends, for the Balyhoo does very little to bur
lesque advertisements upon which the magazine Bay-
hoo is drawing for much of its fun But after seeing
too many too intellectual revues glad to relax in

Makes Self Politician
The tradition absorbed by little boys in school, that
any Amercan-born citizen may be President (although
few of them willy and that the President is the greatest
man in the world is taking some hard knocks 1t is
good tradition, and to protect it suggest the imme
date passage of of those recurrent bills making the
President ineligible for reelection If have to have
six-year term let have it, but let not have the
spectacle of the most powerful ruler in the world las

would 20 even further and make it illegal for the
ether candidate to do campaigning, SO that the
moment a nomination made the candidate would
be isolated out of the reach of pen and paper, news
papers and radio and would be Joined presently by all
the other candidates At such times as his business per-
and together they would talk over the affairs Of the
nation.
Anyone can see the advantages of this method. The
President would not belittle his office could he
besnirch the character and intellect of the who
might succeed to that office If reelected the President
would retain the confidence of all the people, if defeated
their respect The opposing candidate would be saved
the embarrassment of making too promises and of
dragging down the who, from November to March,
make such mess of things, preparing an applepe
bed for his twisting up the files and losing
important And gathering IN quiet spot these
men, restrained from quarreing in public could have
few good knockdown fights then each could give the
other the lowdown.
Prejudices Of An AstroIoger
In the current New Yorker Evangeine Adams, who
aludes to herself really responsible astrologer
she has not predicted the result of the election only
analyzed planetary Indications She says that cleo
on deals with party policies and cosmic conditions and
social tendencies And she insists that n democracy
the majority vote registers the free will of the people,
Just how free that will is with campaigning going
on both sides and intimidation and threats one,
not be estimated without pair of Calipers But
astrologer is allowed to have prejudices in politics.
The conclusion is, however, disturbing. (Which can
didate is to win she says, twill be decided by the
bnation of the planets the candidates horoscope
the policies of the respective parties related to the
wish and the will of the people, The wish of the people
may be wilfu enough to oppose-and, therefore,
momentariy to delaythe cosmic trend which is moving
toward the Aquarian Age of social cooperation"
have always felt that political parties do not grappe
with the real issues. My suggestion that
party should before the people and say "Vote for
our and we'll make you cheerful" instead of bother
ing about tariffs and debts and inflations But
merely fumbng where Evangeline Adams goes directly
to the point 1t is upSo Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Roosevelt
to say, with fnay, whether they in favor of the
Aquarian Age of social cooperation not have
movies of Mr. Roosevelt in swimming pool and of Mr..
Hoover by rivers brm with his usual luck he caught
no fish, but these evasons becoming tresome For
the Aquarian Age against it, that is the question:
And what the blazes is the Aquaran Age?
