THE theater still remembers Edwin

anniversary Of the birth of this dis
LlUBulbIeQ American dCIOT. Many
tokens of respect will be paid him
and, at the Players Club in New York
the outward symbol of his generosity
members and friends will offer him
handsome tribute.
1t is curious that those of us who
came afterward, and never knew him,
feel almost as though he had crossed
our life's stage. No other name in the
theater's annals is spoken of so warmly
or is kept alive with such continual
zeal. A performance on the stage today
if it be great is invariably nkened to
something that Mr.. Booth might have
done. Even Of Helen Hayes work in
Mary Of Scotland" a member Of the
old guard said recently: 1T is the
nearest thing to Booth in its expression
of beauty and intensity that can re-

So those Of us who tread only on the
fringe of memory keep close to Booth
through the endless chain of praise that
still follows him. There apparently
never was any one quite like him on
our stage. There apparently never
will be.

PROSPERITY POCKET PIECE


Public men in Washington are
carrying a new Prosperity Pocket
Piece" good luck coin which car
ries on one side the portrait of a
very happy and satisfied gentleman,
and on other side a merry jingle ad-
monishing the bearer TO cheer up
and smile, thereby accelerating the
return of good times.
The talisman is made from met
al alloy that bears striking re-
semblarfce to gold. Specimens of it.,
fresh from noted metal works,
were distributed to members of Con-
gress and others few days ago,
well i'm advance of their general is
sue to the public. The original idea
was to promote a new breakfast
food, but most of the Washington
recipients Immediately took the new
coin to their hearts as real symbol
of the better days" that are now
generally believed to be on the way.
The portrait of the Happy Man
which appears on the coin is taken
from the drawings of sunny Jim"
which 80 years ago were seen on
every billboard i'm America, as well
as i'm the columns of newspapers and
magazines, and on the breakfast ta-
bles of well-fed Americans. Sunny
Jim was the trademark of a popular
breakfast food, but he also became
the symbol of CHEEKY philosophy and
all the other concOmitants of COM
Portable living.
Revival of Sunny Jim, it is hoped,
will help the carriers of the new
pocket pieces to revive the things
he stood for. ".The spirit of Sunny
Jim is certainly the spirit of Con-
gress right now," declared one of
the first government officials to dis
play the new talisman. "Unless all
signs are wrong, we ar getting out
of the woods. The season calls for
smiles and cheers. Depression is on
the way out. Confidence has return
cd, and there is plenty of reason to
assert that our confidence is based
on solid foundations of business fact.
Business is on the upgrade, and
what we need now is to get all the
traces of gloom off our countenances.
We can at last afford to be cheer
full"

What Women Are
Doing At Home

Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt hal
been experimenting with low-cos
menus. Mrs Eugene TalmadGe, wifi
of the Governor of Georgia, has JUS
been revealed as being one of the
best cooks i'm the South.
Mrs. Henry A. Wallace. wife of the
Secretary of Agriculture, makes hel
own jams and jellies. And engaged
/ i'm the same art. during the sum-
mer will be some 20,000,000 other
housewives.
This because fruits are cheap and
| plentiful-the strawberry acreage
alone is five per cent greater this
year than last, according to the De-
partment of Agriculture-and mod
ern methods of putting up" fruits
have changed jam and jelly making
from the drudgery it was in our
grandmothers' time to simple and
pleasurable task.
Jam and jelly always have been
the most popular and the most eco
nOmical of confectiOns. Because of
the insistent demand from husbands
and sons, women have shaved for
untold hours at the job of turning
fresh fruits into spreads for bread.
But there is no longer any reason
why whole days should be wasted
over hot stoves to coax recalcitrant
fruits into "jell."
Science has given housewives bot
tied fruit pectin, and has captured
for kitchen use the substance in
fruits which make jelly "jell" and
jam "jam." Thus the old hazards OF
failure have been eliminated, the
time required for boiling fruit juice
to make jam and jelly has been cut
to a minute or less, and it is now
possible to make jelly from any
fruit.
A recent survey has shown that "A
per cent of all the women in the
ccuntry-city women as well as
women on farms and in villages
make at least some jam and jelly
during the year. Farm women, be-
cause of the easy availability of
fruit. probably make somewhat
greater quantities than their city
sisters. and serve it oftener.

It's true, the members of the
General Assembly are human-just
plain garden variety of citizen, same
as you and |.
Being human some did make mis-
takes-some were swayed by friend
ship, by political consideration, by
party loyalty, by desire for public
ity..
In the group of course were some
politicians who had not risen to the
eminence of statesmen. All in all,
however, we think the majority did
the best they knew how and voted
their honest convictions.
In our democratic form of govern
ment can we expect more?
Out of the two hundred odd pieces
of legislation passed by far the ma
jority are constructive. Many of
them vital to business, to progress,
to better government.
