Menjou and left Shirley as security.
Her father loses again and he kills
himself. Then Menjou discovers that
he has Shirley on his hands. These
scenes are humanity handled, es-
pecially when Menjou tries to put
Shirley to bed and uses a racing
form on which to base story about
King Arthur and his court.
Shirley's influence causes Men
iou to have mental housekeeping.
But Shirley soon forgot about King
Arthur and his Round Table and
the knights. She took up American
slang and became a little rowdy.
TINE way Shirley handles this
i change proves that she has
marvellous possibilities. Even when
she loses some of her natural charm
and becomes a little toughy, she is
clever enough to indicate by a wink
or a smile that she is just acting,
If you Like to see children made

Sales Manager Declares
Worth of Merchandise
Should Be Included.

Henry M. Brundage, general sales
manager of the Washington and
Georgetown Gas Light companies,
spread q series Of facts on the sale Of

witness to defend the inclusion by the

approximately 100000, representing
their merchandising and jobbing stock,
consisting Of gas stoves and other ap-
pliances.
He said the companies recently have
been concentrating on the sale of gas
refrigerators and easing up on their
efforts to sell gas house heating plants,
although q refrigerator consumes only
1900 cubic feet Of gas per month on
the average, as against 200000 cubic
feet during six-month heating season
for the furnace.
The company makes sales efforts to
place new gas ranges In its customers
homes. he said. although the result of
the perfection Of the gas ranges re-
Gently has been to make them burn less
gas.
The sale of gas furnaces Is attended
by many complaints that gas bills are
too high, he said. He explained how
the company shows its customers that
the bills vary sharply with the weather
and finally concluded:
THE weather is uncomfortable by
the company and ununderstandable by
the public"
Brundage was testifying today under
cross-examination by Assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel William A. Roberts
Yesterday, on direct examination by
John C. Bruton. jr.. company lawyer.
he testified on the importance Of main
tanning stock Of gas appliances, say
ing that if the company did not make
intensive efforts to sell these their gas
sales would be considerably reduced.
Peoples Counsel Richmond B. Keech,
who contends that no part of the gas
appliances be allowed to enter the valu-
alton, moved to strike out all OF
Brundage's testimony, but the commits
sion allowed It to stay in.

of his parents small Connecticut hotel,

He castigates the pseudo-artistic

fes the substantial ambitions of the
hotel keeper. The book is full OF sar-
