Running Successes
 "Scnd the customers out hum- ming" said musical comedy pro- ducer when identity has been lost in Broadway antiquity, and you've got hit"
 It's still swell adage, and true enough to confound all the critics who predicted few months ago that tho musical show, Roberta, wouldn't last long. For they didn't figure on the haunting power of Jerome Kern's tune called Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" That one number has served to keep "Ro- berta" on the publics mind'-and the public at the box office. It's what the Pilgrims Chorus was to "Tannhausor," The Last Rose of Summer" to Martha" and the title waltz to The Mery Widow"
 Maybe you can recall some oth- CTS. Rudolph Friml's Indian Love Call" had lot to do with the sue cess of Rose Marie" And cer- tainly nobody remembers much about Mile. Modiste" except that Kiss Me Again" was its theme song. MT Ziegfelds famous Sal ly' was immortalized by the song called Look for the Silver Lin ing" ''The Prince of Pilsen" had several great numbers, but one that never will be forgotten was the first stein song. "Old Heidel- berg" Because You're You" was the hit of "The Red Mill" and My Hera," from "The Chocolate Sol dier," will be sung as long as there are sopranos.
 This could go on forever. but maybe there's space for few more recent examples. Jerome Kern sent the customers out hum ming "The Song Is You" when they'd seen Music in the Air" Nobody can guess how many thou- sands attended "The Cat and the Fiddle because they liked the tune titled "The Night Was Made for Love- Night and Day." sung by millions, prolonged "GayDivorce" into smash hit. Hit the Deck was dependent largely for its pop ularity on "Hallelujah." The first production of "Blackbirds" was anything but hit for the first mont hor more. Suddenly Broad way began whlstling "I Can't Give You Anything But Love. Baby and the box office attendant was awakened by the rustic of green | backs.

One morning with the mercury at 22 degrees below zero the heat failed. Examination showed that the hot spring had disappeared entirely. We'd look up a more dependable system than this

James Roosevelt, son of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, is not going to con- test the renomination or reelection of Sen- ator David l. Walsh in Massachusetts this fall. He made this clear late last week after it had been rumored in various po- litical circles that young Roosevelt and former Mayor James M Curley of Boston were plotting the political downfall of the veteran democratic legislator. Said MT Roosevelt when interviewed on the sub- ject "As far as I know there are no fac tions in the Democratic party in this state. I shall be working for the leaders, whom recognize to be the Governor Joseph E. Ey) and Senator Walsh. :" That should end for all time any discussion of Senator Walsh's retirements or defeat at the hands of his own partymen. However, we do notice that MT Roosevelt said noth- ing about the manner in which the pat ronage affairs of the Bay State would be conducted in the future. To date they have been handled by him and ex-Mayor Curley while Senator Walsh has been ig- nored in handing out jobs. And that's point which may yet prove to be difficult of settlement.

In New York
By pANL HARRISON

New York.-The Lenten season means "calamai' to the Catholics of the Greek Armenian-Arabian- Turkish quarter in lower. Manhat- tan. And "calamai" means octo- pus.
 Greek Catholics must abstain from meat and ordinary fish dur ing Lent, but 1t happens that octo- pus is far from being ordinary fish. It has the consistency of, and tastes like, stewed rubber hose. However, 1t still is consid- cred great delicacy, as proven by the fact that Arabs and Turks eat itAand don't have to. Most of the little groceries and delicates- sens in the district import their devilfish from the Mediterranean, or from the south, and dry, salt and store them in back rooms far in advance of orders. An octopus improves with age, and finally is delivered to a customer with its tentacles neatly twinded around a
 Another favored uso of
 caIaInal is as a mOrning-after
 n!ck-me-up. More stcadying
 than tomato juice, say the
 octopus eaters.

pretty apparent to most of us for some time. It's getting to the point where the people who want to own real estate are in a minority. It was only few years ago that building in this country, particularly of the one-family dwelling type, had ap- preached record figures. Now it's fast sliding in the opposite direction. The an- swer is, of course, taxes.
 Dr Clark naturally advances various remedies for correcting this evil. 1t is an evil that a man cannot contemplate fu- ture which includes ownership of his own home. True he still can own his own home, but the modern conception is home in which the owners equity amounts to bare fraction of it's true value. The re- mainder is reposing in banks, mortgage companies, and the like. You can't blame the banks for taking mortgages on prop erty and then foreclosing to protect their own interests. Still you can't blame man for complaining bitterly at this state of affairs.
 Excessive debt during prosperity by municipalities and towns is blamed in part by the Connecticut State College econ- omist. He also refers to uniformity in as- .sessment dates which actually corresponds to the uniform fiscal year that was advo- cated last year. This necessitates borrow ing in anticipation of taxes and increases the annual interest bill. If we could lop off interest paid by cities and towns, not to mention individuals, half of our wor- ries would cease. Some day we'll call g moratorium. Let's hope it's soon.

DANDRUFF
A Sure Way to End Il

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff
at once, and that is to dissolve it.
Then, you destroy it entirely. To
do this, just get some plain, ordi-
nary liquid arvon from any drug
store Git won't cost you more than
thirty-five cents 35c), apply it at
night when retiring, using enough
to moisten the scalp and rubbing
it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all of
your dandruff will be gone, and
two or three more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely
destroy every single sign and trace
Of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too, all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel hundred
times better.

Senate subcommittee on rack
eteering, in a national pool COM
pleted today by the committee.
Chief magistrates of five States
declined to favor the plan while
in IA others made no return or
asked further time for considera-
tion.
Senator Copeland requested. the
governors to express an opinion
on the desirability Of creating a
Federal police agency which would
be made up of the present person
mel Of the governmental invest
igating bureaus, augmented by
men named by the governors who
would be given police power in
the State from which appointed
in addition to their Federal

Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico,
New Jersey, New York, North

The Governors of Vermont,

poll or asked more time for con-
sideration.
Commenting on the suggestion
Governor C. Douglass Buck, OF

"A police force organized ac-
cOrding to the Senator's idea
ought to be very much better

ever had"

"Such a bureau would be ex-
ceedingly helpful in breaking
up crime conditions over the
country"
