depression and in consequence Of the
prevalent unemployment. The latest
evidence of an earnest desire to serve
the country on the part of otherwise
unoccupied citizens is afforded in Min
nesota, where eighty-nine persons have
filed with the secretary of state as can
didates for the House of Representa-
tives. Had not the deadline for enter
ing the race been reached yesterday,
more than this number would probably
have dropped their names in the box
OF the secretary OF state at st. Paul.
1t is pity that just one more name
was not entered, for then a ratio of
ten for one would have been established,
there being just nine seats in the House
to Minnesota's credit under the new ap-
portionment, one less than the present
allotment.
Mere filing of names does not actu-
ally constitute candidacy in November,
for on the 2Oth of June a State pri-
mary will be held at which nine candi-
date from each of the three parties,
Farmer-Labor, Republican and Demo-
cratic, will be nominated. The present
array of self-proposed talent includes
IS Farmer-Laborites, 26'of whom will
be disappointed in June; 80 Republic
ans, % to be left by the wayside at the
primary, and % Democratic, 13 more

this rush of names at ST. Paul that

I'm the Scranton Times.

from the scranton Times.
What, if anything, will come out of
the movement launched by the Wilkes
Barre Chamber of Commerce, in which
the Scranton and other anthracite re-
gion organizations participated to
draft a program to revive prosperity
not only in our basic industry but for
the region generally is yet to be de-
termined. For a start, attention will
be centered chiefly on the coal industry.
Calling of a conference of all inter-
eSted groups-operatorS, workers. rail-
road representatives, sales agents and
the hke-displayed an appreciation by
the men in Wilkes-Barre on WedneS-
Gay of the situation.
What has happened to the anthracite
industry Is not the fault of any one
group in 1t, nor can it be revived
through any one agency. There must
be cooperation, a working together for
common purpose and understanding
of problems not alone by the parties
directly concerned but by the general
public, which, in the final analysis,
holds the whip hand. The consumer,
in the long run, determines whether
mines shall work, owners get dividends,
railroads carry freight, sales companies
do business.
At the initial conference Wednesday
the discussion, We are told, covered
many phases Of the situation. There
were a number Of frank expressions.
sincere beliefs by men who, in most
instances, are leaders in their commu-
mites, and in the end the decision to
enlarge the conference by the calling
in Of representatives Of other groups
directly interested was arrived at. To
have made any declaration of purpose
or policies without having consulted
all interested would have been a Sc
rious mistake and might easily have
proved disastrous to the whole line
of thought back of the movement.

Miss Springtime.
Oh gentle Spring, you dear old thing,
Again you prove so tickle
That when Of sunshine we would sing
The rain begins to trickle.
And when to hours of rainbow show'rs
We offer salutation
The sunshine greets the blossoming
flowers
With fine exhilaration.
Fair Spring, you mix in politics
With bewildering slyneSs.
We can't keep up with all your tricks
OF 'wetness" or of "dryness."

N Shanghai-Time was when
VI the life of Chinese woman
ran it's course within the four
walls of a sequeStered court
yard. AS q girl she obeyed her fathers
will: as a wife, her husband held sway
over her goings and her comings. But
the outside world saw little, If any
thing, of her, and certainly not In
time OF war.
Since the birth OF the republic of
China hers has been happier lot.
The modern woman, having tried out
her wings in early school days, knows
now that in time of emergency 1t Is
her duty and her privilege to serve.
During the past months countless
women have rallied to the aid OF Hood
sufferers. The story of their social
service in this time of China's need
has already been told.
And now. for the first time in the
history Of the republic, these women
are having the opportunity to register
for war service. Like their Western
sisters in another period of conflict,
they are doing everything from WELD
ing knitting needles to penetrating the
firing lines. They are going about
and so are accomplishing a great deal.
Hospital work is, of course, offering
women one of their greatest fields OF
usefulness. Just yesterday an emer-
gency hospital for the wounded was
opened in the Law College In Route
Peer Robert. Under the direction OF
Mesdames Chen Mingshu, Tsai Ting
kai, Chang Kuangnan, Lao Chung
kai and Liu Peichuan. the school was
transformed into a hospital in an
amazingly short time.

We did not need to be informed by the
police on our daily visits to their sta
tions that there exists among our
youth a pugilistic epidemic quite alb
normal in its prevalence and scope.
Wherever you see two boys they seem
to be fighting, but, should you inter-

only practicing Eel boxeo." Whole
streets have been converted into boxing
grounds to accommodate the juvenile
emulators of the little colored light
weight from Cuba.

in the fistianic pandemonium, descend

those tempeStuouS things which
prima donnas are said to do.
Earlier in the evening, she had
stood beside piano, strikingly clad
in Isolde's garments, clutching o
silver goblet to her breast, and
walking through Wagnerian INNINGS
with a rapt expression OF misplaced
devotion.
The substance of Encore" how
ever, proved to be so airy, SO full OF
brave words and innocuous nothings
that what might comfortably have
been an amusing one-act play is
stretched to a literal sticking point,
and is snuffed out eventually by
long, low draught which hangs on
long after it has been made welcome.
The play, of course, belongs to
Miss Barrymore. All her verbal wax
ings and wanings occur within the
stages home plate. Although she
drifts here and there during its ae-
ton. making so bold at one point as
to climb a ladder outside OF her
window, she slips infrequently to the
right or the lett, preferring the stark
middle of her stage.
This is as it should be- She is
radiant throughout. At the mo-
ment, however, due probably TO the
length of the script, she is travel
ing only at half speed satisfactorily.
Doubtless when she has mastered
the intrieacies of the lines, she Will
be less of o caricature of earica-
ture, her role being too much
of a buriesque for he to give 1t the
full due of which she is capable.
The rest of the cast is more expert
than the play. You have only to
watch the able Frank Conroy put
in a few minutes of acting to appre-
ciate the foolishness of the whole
thing. Then again, Siegfried Ru-
mann, who comes dangerously near
stealing the honors, and starts out in
what promises to be brilliant role,
Is showed of finally in q fearful OBJ
security. Sebastian Braggiotti, partic-
ularly well cast; Alfred Hesse,
Josephine Hull and George Drew
Mendum do what they have to do
well.
The play concerns q prima donna,
who, whenever she marries, Is forced
to do the proposing herself. When
in the first act she says, u am sim
ple-I am really very simple" the
author makes you believe that per-
haps she is. Throughout three acts,
she acquires three husbands, a flock
of ep-children, and finally true
husband-who does the proposing
himself. In between times she has
lost track of her step-children, re-
hearsed Tristan and Isolde"
splashed around O good bit as Q
''virgin mother" and done O few
other things which are amusing
but not amusing enough.
So the play progresses-hand-
