AT THE ARCADE.
Uproarous Comedy Id Billed for To
day and Tomorrow.
In "He Was Only a Bathing Suit
Salesman," Harry Myers has pro
duced a comedy which is distinctively
out of t.ho ordinary. First of all, it
is an artistic triumph for Mir. Myers,
from subtitles to locations. The ac
tion is fast and furious and it is
staged in unusual surroundings.
The comedy is not confined to park
bench sets or hackneyed backgrounds
but in its three reels takes us from
Washington to Baltimore, to Phila
delphia, and then back to New York.
the White House as a setting, others
with the Capitol in the background,
while others show us the streets of
the Monument City, where visitors are
led around the fire area, to Poe's
grave and to the hallowed spot whore
the lust: Democratic convention was
held. Then we are whisked into Phil
lie, the home of "Home Run" Baker,
Connie Mack and, ithe Liberty Bell
when the latter is at .home. We no-'
company a fickle traveling salesman

"Father and the Boys" Will Be at the
Arcade Soon.
.America's forejneslt humorist,
George Ade, wrote "Father and the
Boys," the five-reel Universal photo
play which comes to the Arcade soon.
Digby Bell, who plays the leading
role in the production, has been known
to theatregoers as a polished come
dian since 1870. To those who decry
the old school of ucting his work in
"Father and the Boys" is a revelation.
"Father and the Boys" is George
Ade's funniest play. It was directed
by Joseph Do Grasse at Universal
City, California, the only actually in
corporated moving picture municipal
ity in the world. Adv.
The Hubit of Taking Cold.
Wish many .people taking cold is a
habit, but.fortunately one that is easily
nroicen. lane a cold sponge bath
every morning when you first get out
of bed not ice water, but a tempera
ture of bout, 90 degrees F. Also
sleep with your window up. i Do this
and you will seldom take cold. When
you do take cold take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and get rid of it as
quickly as possible. Obtainable everywhere.

Five hundred .and eighty one
mayors of southern cities have
been invited and more than half
of them are expected to come
hore today to discuss tho per
plexing municipal problem of
the traveling pauper, thousands
of whom talk city administra
tions out of hundreds of thnus
sands of dollars worth of trans
portation every year.

Nothing but an American.
When I look back on tbe shifting
scenes of my life. If I am not that al
together deplorable crcaturu, a mnn
without a country, t a in, when it comes
to pull and prestige, almost equally
bereft, as I inn u man without a state.
I was lioru In Indiana, I grew up In 1111.
pels. 1 was educated in libode Island,
and it Is no blame to that scholarly
community thut 1 know so little. 1
learned my law In Springfield and my
politics In Washington, my diplomacy
In Europe, Asia and Africa. I have a
farm 'in New Hampshire and desk
room In the District of Columbia.
' When 1 look to tbe springs from
which my blood descends tbe first an
cestors I ever beard of were a Scotch
man who was half English and a Ger
man womnn who was half French. Of
my Immediate progenitors my mother
was from New England and my father
was from the south. In this bewilder
ment of origin and experience I can
only put on an aspect of deep humility
In any gathering of favorite sons and
confess (but. 1 am nothing bnt an
American. From "Tbe Life and Let
ters of John Hay" In Harper's Maga
zine. Edison's Incandescent.
AramlUis to o friend, Thomas A.
Edisou is ut ibe opinion that it was
anger that first turned him toward In
venting tbo Incandescent llglii, reports
the Newark News. How It happened
Is related by the friend, who says:
"Tbat was, of course. In the early
days, and Mr. Edisou was then qnite
the Inventor tbnt one rends of poor,
entnnsliisic, never sleeping. He lived
in a small bouse, innocent of any
thing iippronching a laboratory. Scien
tific devices were In every room, and
all the money went for experiments.
Then ouo day came the crisis In tbe
guise of tbe collector for the gas com
pany, lie bad been in tbe bouse of
ten, but Edison, hardly heeding his
calls, hud waved blm away, saying,
'Don't bother me!'
"On this last call the collector's In
structions were peremptory, lie most
turu off the-gns. He did so, and that
act started Edison on the road to the
incandescent light."
Thumbnail Fairy Tale.
"No doubt,"Sve suld to tbo plumber,
"you'll have to dig the entire street
up before you can tlx that leak in the
bathtub."
"Shucks, no," replied tho plumber;

new washer, and I wouldn't charge
you anythiug for a little job llko that"
