LINE or so went Into Nora Bayes' chatter that didn't be- g there last Thursday, night. and. last night, too, and only one person other than Miss Bayes knew its full meaning. The rest of the company figured she was Just adding comedy and since they never know from one act to another just what she is going to put In next, they are more or less prepared for anything. The. audience, of course, figured it helonged In the dialogue, but it didn't. , - - . What Miss Bayes said was "O-o-o-o, how I love noodle soup. . I wish I had some good old noodle soup right this ni!nufte I bet if my Aunt i Bertha knew I was pining and wast ing away, for want of noodle soup, she'd see that I got some." What the audience didn't know was that Aunt Bertha sat right in the second row and that Miss Bayes meant every word of her ardent de sire for noodle soup,- and that upon hearing it. Aunt Bertha privately re solved to make her niece all the noodle soup the Bayes stomach could hold. For Aunt Bertha had made noodle soup before fqr Miss Bayes, before she was Nora Bayes, best known singing comedienne on the stage. It was when Nora wasn't Nora at all, at all, but little 11-year-old, Ella Goldberg, singing her little head off around the house, at school and at entertainments, back in Chi cago I do. not know, and '.will .not conjecture how many years ago. Anyway. Aunt Bertha, who is Mrs. Bertha Miller, went from her home in St. Louis to visit her husband's people in Chicago, and when , sbe heard her little niece,' Ella Goldberg, singing, she planted some seeds in the little maid's mind. Aunt Bertha told little Ella she had a voice: that voice was a gift from God, and that ccounting must be made of tatents. The little maid was already ' aflame with the desire to go on the stage nd when Aunt Bertha added her ap proval and benediction to the loyal support of her own father and mother. ittle Miss Goldberg stepped the first rung on a ladder that she has limbed steadily and surely ever nee. until now she is at the top. Today she is eating noodle soup at Aunt Bertha's, who is the 74-year- young mother of Mrs. Alexander Gevurtz. "I don't care what you do have or do not have tor me, so long as can have some noodle soup and some of Aunt juertna wonderful cookies," said Nora Bayes. "I have remembered Aunt Bertha's cookies all my life and now I'm going to eat my fill of them again and take a batch along with me when I leave." Nora Bayes Aunt Bertha Is young and peppy for her 74 years, and when Nora throws the cushion across the footlights in the game she plays with her audience, it is Aunt- Bertha to , . - - V '- C 't MS--' - I . jh? ) I J Hackensack ex-Postmaster .

"If her folks could spare her, I'd take Aunt Bertha right along -with my show, write her a role and I'll wager she'd put it across," said Miss Bayes. She says her ambition is to be a grandmother like Whistler's mother. "I want to be a real old-fashioned grandma," she says. "The type is almost extinct and growing rarer. The modern grandma is as young as her daughter, her skirts are as short, herfigure a; well preserved, her hair is-colored and marcelled, her na'ls are her pride, and she doesn't know what to do If Billy burns his finger or the neighbor woman's cake falln. Com to think of ' it, she wouldn't know the neighbor woman. The mod ern grandma is a woman's-clubber, a dancer of modern steps, she mas sages her chin and occasionally is a vampire. Give me the old-fashioned kind," says Nora Bayes. "Commend me to the old lady who lets- her hair grow white when God and na ture made it turn white, who knits because she likes it and not because it's a fad. who reads her Bible and sings little old-fashioned tunes about Nellie Gray.' or 'Sweet Mabel Clare.' I love the grandma who understands little dirty-faced boys, and has gumdrop in her pocket for them, the grandma who can fashion a doll dress for little fingers to sew, and who tends a geranium in a window pot or has a bed of pansies. That's the sort of nice old lady, I, Nora Bayes, want to be.

Higgs of the Ameri can Red Cross, prominent Portland specialist, returned home yesterday after a year's absence in Siberiu. where he saw bolshevism at close range as he ministered to the eye. ear, nose and throat troubles of American troopers, red guards, Jap anese and the hetrogeneous humanity that hovered about the lane of the trans-Siberian railroad. Dr. Higgs, who has received his discharge from the Red Cross, re turned in charge of a party of nurses and hospital attaches, arriving at Se attle earlier in the week.

Senator Hi ram Johnson was handled roughly by William Jeffers, ex-postmaster of Hackensack, N. J., in an open letter today which promises to add fuel to the flames of an already hot cam paign in that state. After assailing Johnson's record on prohibition. Jeffers declared that New Jersey is against government owner ship of railroads, which Senator John son approved in 111$. Be also ac cused Joh.ison of attempting to ar ray class against class. The letter closed In this fashion: "You and your supporters are say ing a great deal in denunciation of the high cost of living and profiteer- . You and they say the cost of living is a crime and the profiteers should be put In Jail. Copies of Bills Reaaeated. Will you kindly mall me copies of any and all bils you Tiave intro duced in the senate for the reduction of the cost of living and the jailing of profiteers?" Other questions propounded by Jef fers were as follows: "The people of New Jersey believe In the private ownership of railroads with adequate regulation. You are on record (.the congressional record of February 19,-1918) as unqualifiedly advocating permanent government ownership of the railroads of this country. Being thus at right angles with the voters of New Jersey, how can you consistently plead for their suffrage at the noils? Omcnhip Attitude Cited. "The people of New Jersey believe in the private ownership of municipal street-car lines and other public util ities. In your speeches in Detroit you unqualifiedly advocated govern ment ownership of street-car lines and other public utilities. How can you recorrclle these two points of view and logically plead for Jersey votes? "The people of New Jersey have just passed through the throes of an 'outlaw railroad' strike which put them to great inconvenience and hardship, and cost them many thou sands of dollars. Fro:n your speeches It is clear that you are trying to n.ake political -.'apital of this outlawry and line up the Insurgent labor union ists behind your candidacy. "Since you are appealing to this radical element and in er h of your speeches you vigorously strive to ar ray group against group, how can you consistently ask for votes from those who haye suffered from the practicitiG by 'outlaws' of what you preach? . . . Pro-German Savport Charged. "In New. Jersey voters are patriotic and loyal to the core, they are 100 per cent American. Analysis of the vote cast for you in Detroit, Mich., and Chicago, 111., shows that you had the support of pro-Germans who h been accused of disloyalty to their country during the war, I. W. W radical socialists and even bolshevlsts and communists. "In view of the fact that you are asking for New Jersey votes, does it not resolve, itself into an invitation from you to the New Jersey voters to join a brotherhood with this radl cal and dangerous element in our country? If New Jersey men lie down with dogs they are bound to arise with fleas. "New Jersey believes In organized politics not corrupt politics, but sound' organization for the good of the party. From one end of this country to the other you have de nounced state political organizations. How can a man who denounces the organized republican party in the various . states and the nation as whole Justify a plea for the rotes of New Jersey republicans who believe in organization so as to present solid front to the democrats?" campaign, is seriously ill here, suf fering from poisoning which spread from an ulcerated tooth.
