Moles have their place in the evo.

produced Il Elevation" that Guth-I
RE McClintic, her present man
ager, was one of her minor aides
when she appeared In Winthrop
Ames' revival Of The Truth" at
the Little Theater in April OF 1914.
FIRST COMEDIENNE
Miss George, who is embarked
on her first national junket In IL
years with Spring Again." the
comedy hit which chalked UP 30
consecutive weeks last season on
Broadway. is lady whom many
judges hail as the first Coincidence
Of our theater. She has served
the theater as author, director,
manager and actress for over 40
years.
Before she established her comic
inheritance in a revival OF "Di-
Ivorcons," in both New York and
London, In the spring of 1907. she
had a memorable series OF revivals
behind her.
The "Frou Frou" which had
served Bernhardt. The School for
Scandal" which saw its first New
York production in 17SS, The
Two Orphans. which had paled
brows and wrenched stout hearts
in its French original and else
where for scores of years-all
these had been rungs in the
George ladder.
AS Miss George, either through
necessity or choice, showed pre-
objection for revivals prior to her
triumph in ''Divorcons." so has she
since added gaiety and luster to-
many a reborn drama.
RESORTS TO REVEALS
A new play failing to whet her
interest. Miss George finds II pleas
ant to resort 10 the comforts OF
an old one. I"Kind Lady" which
served her so well in 1885. served
her even better four years later as
the theatrical records attest.
While Miss George may have
been a stranger to what Broadway
refers to as "the hinterlands" since
'the days she sidetracked Hannibal
in Robert K. Sherwood's comedy,
The Road 10 Rome" and played
hob with her spouse's second mar

The President of the United States is quoted as
having said, November II, 1871: "The Govern
of the United States will order, nor will
Congress pass legislation ordering, the so-caed closed
shop" Wards is in agreement with this statement
and believes that the boards order is in accordance
with the Presidents principles
Wards believes that the boards demands not only
violate the fundamental principles of liberty but
economically unsound and illegal under the terms
of the National Labor Relations Act.
If the boards order against Wards is enforced, the
pattern will be established by which all unions all
industries form of closed shop and check
off merely by appealing the War Labor Board
The board further ordered a form of compulsory
arbitration for Wards Wards is opposed voun-
tary arbitration However, Wards man cement should

which have been vested in it by the of the
poraton and surrender outside arbtrators the
final decision all which the may wish
to treat grievances.
The board further ordered that Yards guarantee its
wages and other working conditions for a one-year
period. Wards believes that fixed duration of one
year is unsound in these uncertain times.

Negro sailors are to be utilized
for duty in craft of various kinds,
in maritime activities around shore
establishments in navy yards and
in the navy's new construction
crews and companies which will be
employed in developing bases OUT
side the United States continental
limits" the announcement read.
This latter probably marks the
introduction of Negro labor units
in the navy similar to the labor
units the army used during the
last war.
The chances for Negroes become
ing officers and attending Annapo-
lis remain the same, the assistant
secretary said All CT this depends
upon the mans ability and quail
fications.
The marine corps is to recruit
enlisted men and will train them
separately as is being done in the
army. There was nothing said
about where they are to be train
ed, or whether special camps were
to be built for the Negro trajnees
The total enlistnents are to be
based upon a figure, not yet es-
tahlished by the navy department,
which may be from 1000 to 5000
men.
Training is to start as soon as
the camps and bases can be set up
with the recruits going through the
same rigid mental and physical
tests given white recruits.
Few details have as yet been
worked out, according to Mr..
Walker, but the navy hopes to
give more detailed information in
the very near future as it's plans
and how they are TO be executed.
Many call the opportunity a
great one and hope for more to
come OF the development, while
others are equally as Disguised at
the tone of the announcement and
the utter disregard for the COM
plete breaking down of the racial
carriers aboard the big fighting
ships and in the air corps of the
