There're Some to Fight

|TNHE Hon. Fred Britten of Chicago used to be
l. fairly useful sort of man at fist fighting but
Mr.. Britten never boxed above lat pounds and he
is no youth any more whereas Mr. Shoemaker is not
crowded with youthful vigOr But the Hon Warren
Barbour over the senate side used to be an anna
teur heavyweight champion and the Hon. Fred Hale
another senator is said to have done some pleasure
fighting in his time.
The point is merely that Mr.. Shoemaker, when
he feels in need of work. need not go around punch
ing the citizens at catch weights, an arrangement
which has given him great advantage in his fights
up to this time, but find plenty of action among
his own kind.
Mr. ShOemaker's interesting career includes
short term in LeavenWOrth prison for sending
letter to banker in envelope which was scrawled
over with impOite remarks on the subject of bank
erS. This was unlawful act at the time, but the
status of bankers has changed considerably in the
meanwhile and the president restored Mr.. Shoe
makers citizenship within the last year. He did not
give Mr. Shoemaker medal for writing those
marks about bankers, but that may be only
finished business.
I believe I could put Mr. Shoemaker and Mr.
Cannon in the way Of a little money if they would
care to fight in public. The citizens should respond
nobly to the spectacle Of two congressman being
socked at once especially if by some arrangement
both statesmen could get the worst of it.

CANDIDATE SOLICITING
CIGAR ROUSES IRE OF
MAYORS MESSENGER

Chris Fisher, Negro messen-
ger for Mayor Reginald H. Sui
Ivan, was in a high state Of in
dignation today as he scurried
about the city hall performing his
official duties.
Noticing something radically
amiss from his usual jovial man
ner, city officials were quick to
inquire the reason.
Can you imagine the crust of
some of these candidates" Chris
exclaimed vehemently. "A little
while ago a candidate for judge
came up and asked ME to give
HIM cigar"
Although Chris refused to di-
vulge the name of the "depres-
sion" candidate, some office seeker
is likely to be a poor drawing card
along Indiana avenue when the
primaries roll around, city hall
prognosticators assert.

labourers on the same terms; and
bye and bye went out again; and
so on, several times, until the
afternoon. When the day was
over, and they ali came to be paid,
those who had worked since
morning complained that those
who had not begun to work until
late in the day had the same
money as themselves, and they
said it was not fair. But the
master said, Friend, I agreed
with you for a Penny; and is it
less money to you, because 1 give
the same money to another man?"
Our Saviour meant to teach
them by this, that people who
have done good all their lives,
long, will go to Heaven after they
are dead. But that people who
have been wicked, because of their
being miserable, or not having
parents and friends to take care
of them when young and who are
truly sorry for it, however late in
their lives, and pray God to for
give them, will be forgiven and
will go to Heaven too, He taught
His disciples in these stories, be-
cause He knew the people likely to
hear them, and would remember
what He said better, if He said it

she is carrying on tour.
The following data on Miss Cor
nell and her plays has been re-
ceived.
Miss Cornell now acts a Shake
spearean role for the first time.
She has said that her aim III this
production has been to give
Shakespeare's romance not as a
vehicle for a star or as a muSty
museum piece, but as a great and
sweeping tragedy.
To this end, she has restored
three scenes not acted in thirty
years in the American theater.
She has employed new stage tech
nical devices which permit the
twenty scenes to be changed rap
idly one after the other without
breaking the spell or the move
ment Of the drama.
There is only one intermission.
In no sense has she modern
lied" this classic story. though her
approach to it is realistic as it is
to all plays she produces.
Her method. her acting and her
production have aroused much
discussion wherever she has pre-
sented Romeo and Juliet"

cruelty Of Elizabeth'S father.
Before she became a star, Miss
Cornell acted Candida. Now

young poet, Marchbanks: of how
the familiar triangle theme takes
life when the participants become
human beings acting at cross pur-
poses.

in the three plays. a large COM
pany assists these players.
Guthrie McClintic staged the

our savior loved the child, and
loved all children. Yes, and all
the world. No one ever loved all
the people, SO well and so truly as
He did.
Peter asked Him, Lord, how Of
ten shall I forgive any one who
offends me? Seven times?" Our
Savior answered, Seventy times
seven times, and more than that.
For how can you hope that God
will forgive you, when you do
wrong, unless you forgive all other
people,"
4 ND He told His disciples this
L n story. He said there was once
a Servant who owed his Master
a great deal of money, and could
not pay it. At which the Mas
ter, being very angry was going
to have this Servant sold for
slave. But the servant kneeling
down and begging his Masters
pardon with great sorrow, the
Master forgave him. Now this
same servant had a fellow servant
who owed him a hundred pence,
and instead of being kind and
forgiving to this poor man, as his
master had been to him, he put
him in prison for the debt. His
master. hearing Of it, went to him,
and said, "Oh wicked Servant. I
forgave you, why did you not for
give your fellow servant" And
because he had not done so, his
master turned him away with
great misery. so" said Our Sa-
viOur; how can you expect God to
forgive you, if you do not forgive
others!" This is the meaning of
that part of the Lords prayer,
where We say forgive us our
trespasses" - that word means
faults-"as we forgive them that
trespasS against us"
And He told them another story,
and said There was a certain
Farmer once. who had a Vineyard
and he went out early in the
morning, and agreed with some
labourers to work there all day,
for a Penny. And bye and bye
when it was later, he went out

says she shall be pelted with
stones until she is dead. But what
say you? what say you?"
Jesus looked upon the noisy
crowd attentively, and knew that
they had come to make Him say
the law vas wrong and cruel;
and that if He said so, they
would make it a charge against
Him and would kill Him. They
were ashamed and afraid as He
looked into their faces, but they
still cried out, Come! what say
you Master? what say you?"
Jesus stopped down, and wrote
with his finger in the sand on
the ground He that is without
sin among you. let him throw the
first stone at her" AS they read

this, looking over one another's
shoulders, and as He repeated the
words to them, they went away,
one by one, ashamed, until not a
man Of all the noisy crowd was
left there; and Jesus Christ, and
the woman, hiding her face in her
hands, alone remained.
Then said Jesus Christ, "Wom-
an, where are thine accusers?
Hath no man condemned Thee?"
She answered, trembling, mo,
Lord!" Then said our Saviour.
Neither do I condemn Thee. Go!
and sin no more!"

It's Serious Business

a MONG the athletes in the halls of the grand
n old sacred heritage is a young man from Mil
waukee named Ray Cannon. Mr. Cannon served as
counsel for the sOcaled Black Sox of Chicago some
years ago when they made national outcasts
for the crime of throwing some world series ball
games contrary to the business interests of their
employer The citizens of the American nation we're
Mortified by this betrayal and were not appeased I'M
til the erring athletes had been dismissed from the
baseball profession in disgrace
The citizens similarly were Mortified by the con-
duct OF various Governors, mayors and judges who
betrayed their trust in office but these were trivial
ofenses by comparison 1t is serious business for an
athlete employed by private corporation organized
Tor profit, to throw world series ball game
Under these circumstances Mr. Cannon. as coun-
sci for the Black Sox, would have done well if he
had saved them from life Imprisonment so it was
an even greater feat to keep them out of Jail alto
gether On the basis of this and other achievements
Mr. Cannon has been sent to congress- where he now
nndS himself on friendly personal terms with Con-
gresham Shoemaker, the seeking statesman.
Mr.. Cannon weighs about 215 pounds and keeps in
good condition by boxing and wrestling in the GYM
naSium of the house of representatives He has de-
clded that Mr. Shoemaker, despite his tendency to
sock citizens has the interests of the citizens at
heart and always votes for legislation which is in
tended to give them government funds or other adj
vantageS Rather than impeach statesman so
rght-minded he could be induced to meet him in the
gymnasium and engage IN a little free seeking any
morning that Mr.. Shoemaker feels inclined.

TodaY's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

CTARS provide us with invisible as well as visible
- starlight. just as the sun gives off invisible
ultraviolet rays and invisible heat infra-red rays
in addition to visible light do the stars.
Study Of these invisible radiations in the case Of
the sun has gone on for many years. Sir William
Herschel made the first observation in 1900 when he
found that blackened thermometer bulb placed be-
yond the red end Of the suns visible spectrum
warmed. The following year, j. W. Ritter noted the
darkening OF silver chloride placed beyond the violet
end Of the solar spectrum.
Dr. Paul w. Merrill of the Mt. Wilson observatory
believes that the time now has come when astron-
omerS can with profit pay more attention to the
nfra-red and ultraviolet radatiOnS Of the stars.
Stars Of low temperature-that is low for stars
give off more energy in the form Of mira red rays
than they do in the form Of visible light Dr. Merrill
says Stars in this class the socaed red giants,
such Antares and Betelgeuse
Stars Of intermediate temperature, such
SUM- having a surface temperature of about
10000 degrees, Fahrenheit, give off most Of their
energy in the form of visible light ne says Stars Of
very high temperature. such as the brilliant blue
white stars give of most energy in the ultraviolet
region of the spectrum.
THE stars all are very 1al away and so the ques-
Il ton which at arises is what happens 10
their light by the time it reaches the earth. The
nearest star is about IS 900 0000 100000 miles away
The answer, according TO DR.. Merrill IS that not
much of anything happens until the starlight reaches
the earth's atmosphere. Of course, the actual
amount Of light from any star which reaches the
earth is very little indeed but practically nothing
happens to the character OF the light.
But. as DR. Merrill says We are forced to study
the stars from the bottom Of great ocean Of air
many miles deep. What this ocean does to starlight
constitutes the next chapter Of the story"
To begin with, the atmosphere shuts of all ultra
violet light shorter than certain wavelengths This.
as is now known, is due 20 the presence Of ozone.
form Of electrified oxygen in the upper atmosphere.
This stoppage Of the short waveengths OF ultra
violet from the stars is great inconvenience to the
astronomer. But the stOppage Of hose same wave
lengths from the good thing for astronomers
and all the rest of the world. For these short
lengths of ultraviolet light are deadly and if the
suns supply of them got through the surface of
the earth it would kill every plant and animal upon
it,
A T the other end Of the spectrum the infra-red
~ rays have some trouble but in general they are
transmitted in better fashion. They are tnutilated
but not an1ihilated.' Dr. Merrill tells US.
