Al Lasker's Last Luxury S. shipping’ board, of office in a bids fair to luxuries ever Al Lasker, retiring head of the lt “world’s greatest salesman,” is going ov blaze of glory. In fact, Al’s “swan song rank with the most costly pene aie -harged to the public purse of any people. oor ee dat qeaint chronicler of the 16th century, tells us that the wildest of all medieval royal orgies, “The Field of the Cloth of Gold,” cost the monarchies of Francis I of France and Henry VIII of England more than a million dollars! : Selshazzer gave a feast to a thousand of his lords, but the night of the banquet, shortly after the mysterious hand wrote the fatal “mene, mene, teKel upahrisin’” upon the wall, the secretary of the Babylonian treasury disap- peared with the books and we do not know just what Belshazzar’s dinner cost the taxpayers of Babylon, Estimates now made of Al Lasker's joy ride of the Leviathan, which will sail from Boston June 19 for a six days’ “colorful cruise in the cerulean Caribbean,” with 600 of Al’s friends on hoard, will cost the taxpayers of the United States some $2,000,000. That is two-thirds the cost of the Lincoln monument! One way and another “Al” has been a mighty costly luxury to the plain people of his country. We don’t know how much the total deficits of the shipping board have been beeause we haven't discovered any two accountants who can agree, but it runs into the hundred millions— verybody, even Al, admits that much. But now he is going to quit with one grand and ex- nsive final flourish. He says so, and we are bound to take a gentleman's word and believe him. Let us trust that Al will not change his mind, a has so often done in the past. We have nothing a Al personally, but, by George he’s too blamed expe Two million is a lot of jack, but as Al has hi often hicidly explained: “You can’t get first- unless you pay ‘em.” ' But if Al is going to disconnect himself for good from the public treasury, maybe this last two million drop in the bucket is worth it, Many young dentists have just graduated.

The movie producer who picks out trashy pictures be- cause, as he says, “the public wants them,” will have to dig up another excuse. The Russell Sage foundation has just produced figures after a year of investigation show- , ing that the public does not want trashy pictures. A nation-wide survey among high school boys and girls was taken to bring out their likes and dislikes as regards movies. Both boys and girls, but especially girls, e: pressed their dislike for vulgar slapstick movies, pictures not true to life, mushy sentimental movies, and sex pic- tures. Asked what type of movies they liked best, both boys and girls, but especially the boys, expressed strong preference for Western and frontier stories with an comedies or detective stories. To this list the girls added stories of society life. Asked to name the “greatest pictures they had ever seen,” the boys named the “Four Horsemen,” “The Birth of a Nation,’ ’and “The Three Musketeers,” while the girls settled on the “Four Horsemen,” “Way Down East,” and “The Sheik.” For their favorite actress, both boys gue ei anes eed oer ls while for their favorite actor, the boys selected Douglas Fair’ ‘$ » gi Rodoiph Valentine, g) banks and the girls So there! rince of Wales a ready-made suit of clothes, and he'll ooky, you can't hand him a ready-made bride, You can give the P thank you, but, by e It is something poignant, we'll say, to note that 5,000 " sath ‘saloon passen- gers" sailed for Kurope, from New York, in one day this l week, Its former assembly president says “the lea for gue of nations i mind.” ‘That would seem to be no place for Lodge. iho ead New movie company is producing sport pictu t & sport pictures only, so na ‘pace film Is pleture gf health, ly, so naturally each Display most people admire in w shop window is thelr own reflection, A man should never wear rings.
