MUSICAL COMEDIES HERALD
HOT WEATHER IN NEW YORK
"June Love" Succeeds "Mary" at Knickerbocker and "Just Married,"
Another of -the Bedroom Farces That Were Such Success Last Year.
V V 1
BT ELIZABETH LONERGAN. '
NEW YORK, May 14. (Special.)
The first sutimer shows have
opened up for hot-weather runs.
At this time of the year musica
comedies and farces take the place of
the heavier sort of entertainment, as
if to tell that summer is coming slow
ly but surely.
June Love" succeeds "Mary" at the
Knickerbocker. The heroine is a
charming little widow who is search
ing the world for a wild lad to make
her forget she has ever been married
before. She meets him on Fifth ave
nue and hands him a rose, then, as If
by magic, he disappears to turn up at
a golf tournament as the champion.
,.Golf and love do not mix well, but
In "June Love" they do, and the
Widow's wish is granted. There are
rtfany catchy airs in the little corn
toy and an excellent cast headed by
Klsa Alder and Johnny Dooley.
Bertee Heaumont, an eccentric dancer
who has appeared at the Orpheum,
doubles as an Egyptian dancer and a
"vamp" and made a great hit with the
audience. Lois Josephine and Clar
ence Nordstrom are also featured
members of the cast. Charlotte
Thompson is author of the story and
Otto Herbach wrote the music. "June
Love'" seems destined for a long stay
in town.
"Just Married" is another of those
bedroom farces that were such a hit
last year. This season has not seen
to many. The first act suggests "The
Night Boat," because it is on a steam
er. The staterooms are all mixed up
-Md there are the usual complications
jdth people getting in the wrong
-rooms. vivian Martin, of picture
fame, is the heroine of the show an-1
.10 nne Overman the hero. Other mem
bers of the cast are Dorothy Morti
mer, seen last in "Nightie Night."
John BTutlcr, Isabel O'Madigan, Purr-ell
Pratt, Elizabeth Gergely .and
Jess Dandy. Jules Hurtig and the
huberts put on the production, which
is by the authors of "Nightie Night."
Adelaide Mathews and Martha Stan
ley. The Shuberts also presented Will
Hodge in a new play, destined for a
place on Broadway next season. It Is
called "Beware of Dogs," and had Mr.
JJnd-ge in double role of star and
author. The supporting company in
cluded Mary Lawton, Lucille Li
Verne. Ann Davis, Marian Vantine,
Charles Mason, George Barbier,
I.eighton Stark, Philip Dunning and
Harold Heaton. Mr. Hodge just com
pleted a long tour in "The Guest of
Honor." He has been appearing In
his own plays for the past two sea
sons. The announcement last year that
Leo Car-illo, who had always ap
peared with Mr. Morosco, would be
seen in a Selwyn show, was a matter
of great interest. A play was select
ed, but it failed to make good and
then a second one was put into re
hearsal. At last Mr. Carrillo went on
a vaudeville tour, subject to the call
of Mr. Selwyn should a good play be
discovered.
Now comes the definite announce
ment that Mr. Carrillo will be seen in
The Love Chef" early in June, with
Doris Kenyon as his leading woman.
Guess who is the author of the play?
Edgar Selwyn. He could not find a
suitable play and so he took time off
and wrote it himself.
REPAIR YOUR OWN MOTORCAR
AND THEN GIVE THING AWAY
Minor breakdowns on Road Can Be Remedied, Perhaps if
Rules Are Followed Intelligently and With Patience.
Certain
BT JAMES J. MONTAGUE.
The Motorist'! Handbook.
THE motorist can save time ana
expense by making his own re
pairs. All that is required is the
nbllity to find out what is the matter
with the car and a knowledge of the
way to fix it.
In serious cases, such as total de
struction by fire or the blowing out
of more than two cylinders, it is best
to consult an experienced and moderate-priced
garage man. There must
be such a man somewhere, although
the author has not yet found one, and
consequently cannot supply his name
and address.
In minor breakdowns, however, no
uch professional aid is necessary.
Vou can make your own repairs on
the road by following a few simple I
rules wnicn we hereby lay down.
Most causes for a motor car's re
fusal to continue to function are enu
merated, together -with the accepted
method of correcting them. Follow
these rules carefully and you will be
astonished with the result.
When the engine spits three or four
times, like an irritated tomcat, and
then suspends operations, the carbu
retor is choked. ,
Lift up the hood and find the car
buretor, which Is usually on the left
side of the engine.
Tap It gently on the back and re
quest it politely but firmly to say
"ninety-nine."
If it Tefuses to say "ninety-nine,"
try to get It to say "eighty-eight."
If It still remains mute, suggest
any othar numerals that occur to you.
In case there is no response, take
off the lid by unscrewing several
small screws. These you may throw
away, for you" will never find them
again when you go to look for them.
Remove from the throat of the car
buretor whatever it has been choking
on, send -into town for more screws,
replace the lid and proceed on your
way.
Conareaterf Transmission.
Congested transmission results
from the intrusion into the long
metal box just behind the cylinders
of extraneous matter, snch as small
wrenches, oil cans or parts of ther
mos bottles.
After putting on a diving suit,
which it is always wise to carry while
on tour, pry up the floor boards with
a crowbar, remove the cover of the
transmission dox with a light charge
of nitro-gycerine and look for the
extraneous matter.
The first thing you will find is a
heavy deposit of small shards of
steel, which are merely broken gears.
Put these carefully back, for without
them the car will have a strangely
quiet sound, which in a short time
will get on your nerves.
Reach down through the encircling
grease with your hands till you find
any object that has nothing whatever
to do with the mechanism of. the au
tomobile. Remove these with a pair
of fliers. In case some of the gears
come out also, put them back and
restore the lid. If, after this opera
tion, the car refuses to run or makes
harsh, grating sound, another can
be purchased at a very reasonable
cost , -
Fracture of the Differential.
The differential is the squash-like
bulb that grows on the rear axle al
most between the wheels. Its pur
pose is to make one wheel go faster
while the other goes slower or, on the
other hand,, to make one wheel go
slower while the other goes faster.
If this didn t happen, the car, while
you were rounding - a corner, would
pivot on one of the wheels and start
back the way it came, which, unless
you happened to forget something
before you started, is embarrassing.
Fracture of the differential may be
caused by getting too close to a cor
ner and running over a hydrant. To
remedy consists in again putting on
your diving suit,, lying flat on your
back under the car, removing 76 bolts
with a wrench and looking into the
differential with a lens. -
If there is any grease left in it
the fracture -is negligible. If the
grease Is gone, find the fracture, calk
it with putty, put In new bolts (the
old ones will have been lost) and
start again. . In case you can't start,
you may be able to give the car to
some passerby, but in that event you
must be careful not to let him suspect
that there is anything the matter
with it.
Enlarged Brakeband.
Enlarged brakeband sometimes oc
curs while you are running on the
level. If it does, you can tie a rope
around the band and take a taxi to
where you are going.
If it happens on a hill, while you
are descending, the only safe thing to
do is to shut your eyes and pray.

METEORIC RISE TO FAME
WOMAN SCULPTOR'S REWARD
Mrs. Sally Farnham, Whose Statue of Simon Bolivar Is Her Big Work,
Is Also Mother of Three Children.
BLANKETS SENT HARDING
President Returns Thanks but Says
Xothlnjr About Price of Wool.
WALPOLE, N. H., May It. The
Cheshire county farm bureau has is
sued blanket insurance against a
presidential chill by sending a pair
of fleecy bed coverings to the White
House. These were manufactured
from wool sheared from sheep raised
on the hills of New Hampshire.
In a letter accompanying the gift
State Senator Fred O. Smalley said:
"You will be interested to know
that the farmers had practically their
entire 1920 wool crop converted into
blankets, about S00 pairs in all. These
blankets, by the way, are the old
fashioned kind, such as our grand
mothers used to make. By securing
market in this way we have been
able to obtain a price of about 40
cents a pound for the raw wool, which
was better than no market at all."
President Harding's reply saidi
"I have read with a great deal of
interest your letter, and am especial
ly pleased to have the blankets which
you were good enough to present to
me on behalf of the Cheshire county
farm bureau. Please let me assure
you and your associates that I am
very much gratified by this evidence
of your good will."

"UST after the recent unveiling of
the heroic statue to Simon Boli
var, the. great South American
liberator, In Central Park, New York,
this is one of the incidents that the
president of the United States- witnessed:
Sally Sally!" pleaded a little boy,
having hold of the skirt of Sally
James Farnham, the sculptor of the
statue, as she stood in the grandstand
looking with somewhat misty eyes at
her masterpiece. .
bally!" repeated the youngster,
still more urgently. "May John come
to my house for dinner?"
'Uh ?" The sculptor looked down '
at the child and her misty eyes grew
humorous and kindly. "Why, yes," she
said in a matter-of-fact voice, drop
ping the role of sculptor of the statue
the president of the United States had
come to honor and becoming Mrs.
Farnham. mother of 10-year-old John.
"Yes," she said, "I think John may
go to your house for dinner." And the
little boy went off Whistling, while
the president smiled broadly. ,
That's a picture of Mrs. Farnham.
Besides her present distinction as the
foremost woman sculptor in America
by right of her selection to make this
International statue she has othet
claihis to pre-eminence.
Sally Farnham is the mother of
three children and is more interested she cleared more than $20,000.
In them than In her art. Her oldest
son Is Edward James Jr.. who Is an
aviator and made a special flight from
Cuba to witness his mother's triumph.
Her daughter. Miss Junior Farnham,
was also present at the unveiling. Her
little 10-year-old son John was just
as much the center of attention as his
mother and showed the etatue to all
his playmates, proud of his mother's
achievement.
.. Mrs. Fanthim'a other claims to pre
eminence is the fact that she is one
of the few Instances of a person, man
or woman, taking up sculpture or any
other art in adult years and carrying
it toward , the highest goals, both
financially and artistically. When she
decided to become a professional
sculDtor Mrs. Farnham prefers to
be called that instead of sculptress
she was well past the age when most
others begin such work
' She bea-an her work in 1SOT. when
(he was convalescing in Roosevelt hos
pital, isew xorK, irom a severe iimfw.
She never as much as dreamed of be
coming a professslonai sculptor as she
whtled away the long hours of her
sickness. Not only did she have no
professional 1 pretensions, but she
thought that she had no talent. She
now eays laughingly that sne must
thank her sickness for developing her
latent ability.
It came about in this way: The pa
tlent was quite exhausted one day by
the amusement offered her by her
hospital surroundings and she was
utterly disgusted with the sameness
of the dally round of routine.
A friend chanced to place some mod
eling clay Into her hands. Mrs. Farn
ham found" that life, was not as unin
teresting as she had thought. Before
she realized it she became greatly di
verted by the stuff in her hands. She
shaped it and reshaped It Into all sorts
of figures and found that other pa
tients, as well as she herseir, were
not displeased with the results. The
only tool available to her was an
orange stick, but it was quite suitable
for her purposes.
Mrs. Farnham recalled, just then.
that when she was a child she had
the trick of carving with a scissors,
of cutting out of blank paper all man
ner of men and women, of elephants
and giraffes and other animals. She
was praised for her accomplishment,
although she never took it seriously.
She recalled that she could pick up
piece of paper and. using nothing
but her Angers, could tear out a per
fectly recognisable portrait of the
person sitting opposite her. And. as
memories kept crowding tnemseives
one has lots of time when laid up in
bed the patient laughed to herself
when she remembered how one of her
teachers took offense at a caricature
which Mrs. Farnham. as one of the
pupils, had. made of her.
It is hard to describe her emotions
as she realized that here was the in
definable something which she had
been seeking all her life to express.
And she was happy, though 111 in bed,
as her mind was made up she would
be a sculptor when she once got
about again.
With most folks in approximately
the same . position as Mrs. Farnham
the decision is more easily made than
executed. But with her it became an
Inflexible resolve to succeed, because
she felt that this was the goal she
had been seeking all her life.
So Mrs. Farnham soon after she was
discharged from the hospital opened
up a studio. When this happened it
never occurred to her to relax in her
domestic duties because she was tak
ing up professional work. She took
the combination as a matter of course
and set about .to obtain commissions
as if she did not have several kiddles
to take care of.

JAPANESE WOMEN REBEL
Speech of Baron Fijimura. Brings
About Indignation.
TOKIO, May 14. Many Japanese
women are in feminine rebellion over
the refusal of the house of peers to
adopt the bill granting the women of
Nippon the right to attend political
meetings and to form political asso
ciations. Their leaders are especially
exercised over the speech of Baron
Yoshiro Fujimura, who strongly op
posed the measure.
The baron is reported as having
said that he was against the measure
on the ground that women are not
fit to participate in politics from the
biological point of view and also from
the point of view of social welfare.
He added: "By allwing women to
participate in political discussions,
the Japanese family system will be
destroyed."
The Society of New Women, which
has been advocating the bill for three
years, hetld an indignation meeting
and appointed a committee 'to visit
Baron Fujimura and demand an ex
planation of his remarks. Also it was
voted to continue the agitation for
emancipation. '

them."
Ar.d the elevator rose to the Vin
cent floor without fun ner conversa
tion on -the part ot the passengers.
But there was some tittering among
a few of them.
N'
OTHING more amusing has oc
curred for a long, long time
than an incident which featured
a recent speech by Mayor- Baker of
Portland to a bunch of University
of Oregon students at Eugene. His
subject was "Americanism" and he was
intensely in earnest as he lammed
the insidious I. W. W., the syn
dicalist and the anarchist until the
welkin (whatever that may be) rang.
Among the boys to come in for a
teriffic "rapping" by his honor, the
mayor of Portland, was "Big Bill"
Haywood, leader-ln-chief of the I. W.
W., formerly a resident of Chicago,
but now commonly reported to be
sojourning in the city of Riga. Rus
sia, owing to a little misunderstand
ing with his uncle, Samuel.
And as Mayor Baker Blambanged old
"Big Bill" Haywood, there coursed
Aver the benign countenances of
divers and sundry students a broad
grin, and, ever and anon, a ripple
of suppressed laughter could be
heard.
Astonished at this peculiar thing.
Mayor Baker hesitated slightly,
looked from side to side of the room
and apparently tried to make out
what the laughter was about. Then
he started in again, assigning "Big
Bill" to oblivion and again the tit
tering was heard.
After the meeting adjourned, a
friend explained to the mayor that
many of the students, not being so
fai.iiliar as he with the chief of the
I W. W., thought the mayor was be

William F. Woodward, a school
director who recently brought about
conditions whereby better and, at
the same time, lower-priced milk is
to be provided by the dairymen for
consumption m the schools, was wor
ried for a while concerning a point,
that was brought up by the milk
men, who declared that too much but
terfat is not conducive to the best
development of. children: skimmed
milk, they said,, was highly valuable
In this connection.
"For a time," said Mr. Woodward
after the subject had been decided
satisfactorily to all, "I almost
thought the public might accuse me
of complicity in an attempt to ruin i
the health of school children by in
sisting that they have creamy milk."
Los Angeles is evidently trying to
put over some special advertising
for Its harbor, located 25 miles away
at San Pedro, judging from a postal
card received by the Portland city
council and submitted by City Audi
tor Funk for the consideration of the
members at a recent session.
"Herewith is a picture of the Los
Angeles harbor." read a note in- en
graved handwriting on the postal
card.
"Sort of absent treatment, isn't it,"
queried Commissioner Pier.
"Perhaps it's in connection with
the naval air service," suggested
Commissioner Barbur.
"Well. I'll tell you what let's do,'
said Mayor Baker, presiding. "We'll
refer it to the dock commission and
see what they have to say about it
Maybe they can explain it."
It is understood that Harbormastet
Speier will be asked to report on th
postal card.
The proverbial retort courteous
got in Its deadly work In the eleva
tor of the Artisan's building one day
last week when F. W. Vincent, a lo
cal advertising man entered the lift
to ascend to his office after partak
ing of luncheon. He was smoking a
big cigar, which some-one had given
him, and felt pretty "chesty" about
it.
"I object very much to smoke," an
nounced a fellow passenger on en
tering the elevator. He was evi
dently a follower of modern-day Joy

Gorgosaurus Gigantic Beast
of Paleozoic Times.
SclratfstH Snooping- Around An
elent Habitat Find EnllKblenlng
Footprints.
NEW YORK, May 14. Best minds
' of the American Museum of Nat
ural History agree that the Gorgo
saurus. a. gigantic beast which lived
way back in paleozoic times, ran.
When in a hurry, on its hind legs.
Nobody ever saw a Gorgosaurus,
but scientists snooping around hia
ancient habitats have found enlight
ening footprints and other evidence
that he once lived In what is now
the Canadian province of Alberta.
They show that this carnivorous di
nosaur used all fours In ordinary
traveling, but being spurred to Mgh
speed, the big fellow got up on his
hind legs. Accordingly, a Gorgo
saurus siteleton recently acquired by
the museum frpm the Red Deer river
beds of Alberta has just been mounted
in his running pqe.
,ln explaining the probable habits
o' the Gorgosaurus. Dr. W. D. Mat
thew, curator of the museum's de
partment of vertebrate palaeontology,
pictures the prehistoric monster In
chase ot a couple ot unwary uuc
billed dinosaurs that have carelessly
wandered from the banks of rivers
and lagoons which served them as
refuge from land-lubbers like the
Goraosaurus.
The i!ors;oauru was long on uperd
but short on brains. Dr. Matthew
said. In fact, he was a real lowbrow
among the ancient animals. Intel
lectually he would have been a good
companion for crocodile, which are
put at the foot ot the class In most
soos.
So, Dr. Matthew said, this enor
mous but rather stupid beast would
rely on his speed to cutch the frlaht
rned duck-billed dlnunaura. landing
up on his rear legs and using his
massive tail to balance the body he
would pursue his prey. Catching
them, he would attack frookiunly
w ith claw and tooth. The duck-billed
dinosaurs had no mean of defense,
if caught, and they were promtniy
consigned to a place on the Gorgo
saurus' menu.
