 NEW MUSICAL
"I Live for Love, Roman tic Comedy-withMusic,
 Playing at Coliseum


 Five original songs were written by the song team of Wrubel and Dixon for the romantic comedy with music 1T Live for Love" now showing at the Coliseum Theatre They are sung by Everett Marshall, Metropoli- tan Opera Company star. Marshall plays the part of an American street singer, and although comparatively new to the screen, proves his acting ability, having been in vaudeville and musical comedy for years as well as on the operatic stage.
 The cast is headed by Dolores Del Rio, who plays the part of a temper amental South American prima don- ma. Guy Kibbe, as radio program sponsor, and Berton Churchill, in the role of theatrical producer, are dragged into a merry-go-round of troubles through the contrary GUS sedness of Miss Del Rio, who works or walks off the set as the whim seizes her. Allen Jenkins is cast as a tough press agent, and Hobart Cavanaugh takes the part of much too important director of public re- lations.

OdorIess Onions

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah
G.N.SO.-Science has at hand a
probable solution to the personal
problem created by the presence
Of allyl sulphide in onions. Allyl
sulphide is the element that causes
onions to have an odor. Prof.
Walter P. Gotham of the University
Of Utah botany department ex-
planned. 1t could be entirely re-
moved by Selective breeding over
a period of about five years and
a strain developed which would
have no odor. The only drawback
to such development, Professor
Cottam said, would be that the
onion then would have no flavor
whatever.

OF distribution. This condition lasted
long after the passing Of the storm, for
the frozen drifts were slow in melting
when the temperature at last reacted
upward.
So there is no occasion for despair be-
cause Of this present visitation. It has
been disagreeable, in some respects dan
gerous but it is by no means a record
for cold or snowfall or blockading inter-
ruption to traffic and business. The
street-clearing facilities have been
greatly improved during these thirty
five years. Snowfalls are attacked imme-
diately and effectively to keep the streets
reasonably clear for traffic. There are
no more cable car lines. Even the elec-
trio lines have been in large measure
replaced by bus service, which man
ages to make headway, however. tardily
and spasmodically, when the snow comes
heavily.
There is some comfort in thus looking
back to the hardships of past times, even
though the weather is bad and the tenn
peratures are low.

The New Kings Policy.

Naturally enough, of course, the eyes
Of the worlo are turned toward London
as Edward VIII takes over the task OF
his lamented father. George v. In do
meStic affairs, it may be taken for grant,
ed, no drastic change need be antici-
pated. But in the arena OF world poll
tics . certain innovation may be initi-
ated Hence the concern Of continental
Europe and America with the first de-
velopments Of the new sovereign's reign.
Directly, perhaps, Edward may not
make his power felt. Those who know
him best arc familiar with the fact that
he is temperamentally cautious about
rushing in where angels fear to tread.
Also. it is understood that he realizes
to the full that his initial choice Of policy
win set the pattern for years to come.
But above everything else in Edwards
mind and soul is the compulsion Of duty.
From his infancy he has been trained
to comprehend the meaning of RESPONSE
bility. Likewise, it happens that he was
born with notable instinct toward JUS
tice and mercy He is a sensitive man,
quick to feel the suffering of others and
Unfortunately anxious to be charitable to
individuals or groups in distress. His
hatred Of war has been manifested on
many occasions. In his judgment, armed
strife is wasteful and ineffective, as well
as cruel.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWE ELL.

You could go through Epictetus, and
Plutach (his "Morals'C, and Montaigne,
and many another famous worthy, and
draw forth maxims of conduct, on "how
to get along"
You could put them down in a book,
with comparatively little effort, and soon
have a master compilation of precepts
You could index 1t, So that all would
be ready on tap, for the great occasion,
whenever or wherever it might be.
What good would it all be, when you
got 1t done?
Plutarch would still be Plutarch, and
you would still be you.
Only as you were able to connect his
wisdom with your life, your own expert
ences, would it have any basic meaning
for you.
l. There are two meanings in all words.
the apparent one and the basic or funda-
mental meaning.
That is why there is often such lis
putation about books and writings of
all kinds, why some like q writer why
others cannot "see" him.
Only as a writer fits certain section
Of the public like an old shoe can he be
said to be a good writer.
find his fundamental meanings, and
make them their own. They already are
their own, but perhaps they didn't
know it.
One cannot do other than doubt the
value of the success" books, in general.
The best thing they do is keep alive
hope, precious ingredient, without which
life becomes bore.
AS long as a reader believes that
book-any book-offers possibilities of
knowledge, of learning, bf being better
after perusal than before, he has gained
something, no matter whether it is
exactly what he expected, or not.
No person ever wrote sincerely, with
real knowledge, without helping some
one, we believe.
There is no book, no article. from
which most readers cannot derive some
good, if it be only stimulation of some
sort.
1t may be inspiration.
X
Several years ago there was issued
Success" book, built upon the doings and
sayings of famous men, with maxims and
rules of conduct deduced from them by
the compiler.
Aside from a certain inspirational
value, as instanced, it had none for the
average reader, because the deductions
were not the experience of the writer
thereof, but merely his theorizing about
them.
Theodore Roosevelt, much-used ex-
ample, was Theodore Roosevelt, whereas
the reader, whoever he might be, was not
Theodore Roosevelt, but simply himself.
He could not, and he never can, apply
the wisdom of anothers deeds to his
own deeds, no matter how close the re-
semblance, because he cannot get inside
the skin of the other man, into his heart
and brain, and actually be that other
man.
The only way he can be himself is to
be himself. That seems plain enough,
but it is amazing how many persons
honestly believe they can be somebody
else.
But why should they want to be?
What one is. is ones self. If success
doesn't come from, through and by that
self, it will never come out of a book
about the selves of others.

Danger Signals.

Up to this time liquor regulation IN
the District has been relatively free
from political or other influences ira
ditionally associated with the liquor
business regulation.
That is matter upon which the people
of the District, the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Boarc and the District Commls-
sioners are to be congratulated. When
liquor traffic regulation is subject to the
influence of politicians, liquor interests
or other selfish interests, the time has
come to hoist the danger signals and
watch out for trouble.
Has that time arrived now? Why
did the Commissioners reverse the
recommendations of the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board and change their
own minds regarding the revocation of
liquor permit granted to the wife Of
81 man previously convicted for viola
ton of the prohibition laws? What
public interest or considerations Of
equity demanded it? What were the
extenuating circumstances demanding
such a strange turn about face?
The District liquor law was framed
to prevent liquor licenses falling into
the hands of those with police records.
Nobody contests the wisdom of such a
provision in the liquor law. What
happened in this case? The husband,
having been refused a license on grounds
of a previous conviction, his wife OBJ
tanned it. That was bad enough. That
is evading the spirit of the liquor law
Then the board revoked the woman's
license on presumably good proof that
she had violated at least two impor-
tant provisions of the liquor law-sold
liquor on Sunday and sold liquor to
unlicensed dealers. The board, more
over, found the woman knew prac-
tically nothing about the business she
was licensed to run. Her husband,
denied the license, was to all intents
and purposes responsible. according to
the Liquor Board, "for active direction
Of the business"
And now the woman, represented by
counsel and member of Congress in
f7uential in local affairs-Mr. Palmisano
Of Maryland-has had her license re-
turned, reversing the recommendation
of the Liquor Board, reversing the stand
taken by the Commissioners in approv-
ing the recommendation.
If that sort of thing happens once.
it can happen again. The action of the
Commissioners has been unfair to the
Liquor Board, unfair to the people of
the District and highly prejudicial to
themselves.
Citizens Of the District would be
within their rights in demanding a
better accounting in this case than has
been given. The Commissioners would
be wise to reopen the case once more
and review the evidence which brought
from the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board the comment that lit (the case)
was by unanimous conclusion the worst

Hard Winters.

Without question this is hard Win
ter 1t is cold and there has been much
more snow than usual. The customary
January thaw" has not occurred-that
comparative clemency during the latter
part Of the first month of the year,
which has often extended over into Feb
ruary. Temperatures have been low,
winds have been high and snow has
fallen often enough to keep the streets
in bad condition.
But this is not by any means the worst
Winter in local memory. Many Wash
ingtonians vividly recall the bad time OF
February, 1899, when the temperature
dropped to fifteen degrees below zero-of-
f1cially fourteen and nine-tenths de-
grees-and snow fell to a depth of
thirty-five inches in eight days up to
February IA. with drifts as high as four
teen feet. Street car service was tied
up almost completely for two days. the
single exception being the Columbia
line" a cable service operating through
New YORK avenue and H street.
Deep gullies were dug through the
drifts, few feet in width, within
which the people plodded to and from
work. The delivery Of supplies to homes
was impeded, virtually suspended, for
several days in many cases. Fuel stocks
were exhausted and terrible suffering
resulted. AL outdoor work was at an
end and the working forces OF the Gov
ernment departments and the business
establishments were depleted.
