(Official City, State and County Newspaper) i Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER | Cncorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Votes and Marriage Even in these staid days the busi- ness of voting occasionally causes trouble in the family circle. If mamma and papa get their politics mixed there is liable to be difficulty for which the ballot may be blamed. But if Ruth Wenter and Paul Cummins have difficulty at all the vote may be blamed for it, at least indirectly. For Ruth was declared the most beautiful girl at Northwes- tern university and Paul was ad- judged the “ideal” man and now they have plighted their troth. Each is subject to disillusionment if he (or she) places too much faith in the judgment of his fellows. Take Ruth for example: What Northwestern students thought was an ideal man may turn out, in a year or two, to be a fellow with dandruff on his collar, a tendency to air his feet in the privacy of his own home or one of those men who roar in the bath tub. If Ruth has any pet aver- sions to those things or a thousand other defects, common in the ordi- nary male mortal and which Paul may have all unknowr to the uni- versity voters, she may find herself | forced to the conclusion that the voters did not know so much after all. On Paul's side the blushing bride who now is the admiration of her/|!_ fellows may not always be so. Time and the cares of married life do things to bright eyes and rosy com- plexions. The lissome lass of today may easily become the weighty matron of tomorrow. In 10 years Paul may see a somewhat different Ruth sitting across the breakfast table. He may have found that) beauty actually is only skin deep and that “handsome is as handsome does.” He, too, may arrive at the conclusion that the voters didn't know everything. One hopes not, of course, for the Tomance of the “ideal” man and the “most beautiful” girl is one which heartens all of us who yearn for per- fection. Now if they could only be- come parents of the ideal family —. But why go on? Life places its limitations on us all. Germany’s Struggle There is intense world interest in Germany's struggle for equality of armament. In fact world peace seems 00! dors of business have been stuck in which France had to reckon with in Sometimes such limitations as fixed by the Versailles treaty defeat desired ends. Revolt often follows as a di- Tect result of humiliation. The Traveling Man “Heroes of the grip” is more than ;@ facetious phrase judging by the stories of hardship which are being related by many traveling men as the result of the bad weather which has enveloped the state during the last few weeks. ! ,During that period these ambassa-) the mud and snow, have been forced} to seek accommodation at road-side | farm houses and have endured more than their share of distresses. | But the manner in which they| have met and conquered these ob- | stacles gives one an idea of the tem- Per of these apostles of better times.)

Many a merchant traces his success to the constructive suggestion of some friend “on the road.” ‘There are those who say that mod- ern business conditions and practices! are reducing the number of traveling men, That may be true but we hope that this hardy race will continue to live on. We believe they will. The spirit with which they battle storm and difficulty gives renewed faith in them. Mussolini has joined other Euro- ean nations in his demands for re- duced war debts. He urged the Uni- ted States to cancel or reduce. Sev- eral Republican administrations have chiseled these obligations down until the American people believe that sub- stantial reductions have been made WHOEVER.

Meanwhile, the old Hippodrome, where many a@ vintage extravaganza was born, will be temporarily saved from the wreckers and now promises to become a 10-cent-a-dance resort of major size. xe x THE HOOFER’S GOAL For 20 years, the Palace has been variety’s Olympus. Martin Beck, who built it, interests himself at the moment in the Abbey Players from Ireland, among other things. Beck, one of the fathers of vaudeville in America, had come from Czecho- slovakia and settled in San Francisco. There the variety type of entertain- ment grew out of the combination beer hall-theater and became the Orpheum Circuit. It was only after theater figure that he came East and built the Palace. It is recalled that on the opening bill there was a funny gent, refer- red to as “The King’s Jester.” His name was Ed Wynn. ** * The Monday matinees have made Broadway history. Here gathered every actor who could get away for a few hours. They had standing orders for the same seats throughout the years. The players put on a show that rarely was seen by the later audiences. The acts were “unexpurgated” and were aimed at the attention of fellow professionals. Such shows have never been seen be- fore or since.

Little of the Human to be menaced in the reluctance of some nations, especially Japan, to limit armaments. But Germany's position stands out in interest over that of any other world power.

Tour- ists smile but in such reprisals hate and resentment are fostered. This and several generations of the French people will continue to hate Germany. Leaders may seek concil- jatory policies toward the defeated but the French people will long re- member the ravages of the World war. That is but human. Such resentment militates against te<uction of armaments on the part of the Allies in the great war. These nations are still too near to that con- flict to consider German demands for greater armaments. Germany's army is reduced to 100,000 men and no re- serves can be trained. Germany in military power is outnumbered by her neighbors about 40 to one. ‘Napoleon crushed Prussia and re- stricted her army to 42,000 men. But Prussia came back, for her leaders passed into rapid training her entire man-power simply by reducing the term of military service so that while the army was at no time more than ‘the treaty permitted, yet thousands passed yearly into the reserves, a force Expertness, efficiency, system and discipline have been woven into our!ing out here in America.

This year it's a young fellow named Max Weber—a ventrilo- quist, of all things—who stopped the show at the opening performance of “Americana” and has been repeat- ing ever since. Weber is another of Gus Edwards’ famous “stable.” His particular act is to work with a “pan face” while singing—and not moving his lips or opening his mouth. The effect is eerie, particularly when Weber goes into a “torch” number such as “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” Until he “floored” Broadway, Weber worked in the team of Wilton and Weber, both ventriloquists.
