This is probably due to the fact; that a great many people, who have been trying to make public speeches in recent years, really have no right to talk In public. Theatrical men, Chautau qua managers and celebrity man agers find that the public gives a greater response than everj and turns out in the greatest numbers in ijistory to hear men who really talk and who are known to have that ability. j Dr. Alexander Cairns, iwho speaks on the Chautauqua to be held here recently, Is one of the men who tan take an audience ot men, women or children of; any walk of life and keep them, from beginning to end, without losing a single auditor. He is one of the type that is remembered for years after he leaves. j Dr. Cairns isn't just "a lectur er." He has something definite and concrete to say and saysj it in a way that leaves a lasting im pression upon his hearers, j The time of the old "mother, home and heaven" type of speaker,, who has a sort of "be good and you! will be happy" philosophy and doesn't say anything else is past, j The public , is entirely too sophisjticat nowadays to pay any" attention to a general uplift kind of talk.jThe want concrete facts and, definite problems dealt with. j . Dr. Cairns does this in his "Gobse that Lays the Golden Egg" which is a discussion of the modern problems of the American home and community. He doesn't resort to stale exhorations nor give any stereotyped cure for the problems tiat the present century has brought on the country! In stead, he takes an understanding view of the young life of jtoda? and the changed conditions con fronting the homes, schools and the public generally. i His point of view is an optimis tic one. He doesn't think thkt the world is going to the devil of that the youth of today is the worst in history, and he gives good! logic to support his point of viewj Dr. Cairn 8 is an Immensely in teresting speaker Is a j witty Irishman with a continual inn of humor through his talk, besides having a brilliant personality and sparkling delivery hich aids to the enjoyment of those who heaT him.

(AP) Frem 36 hours of "third degree ing" in which he at one time faced 100 detectives whose faces were hidden behind black masks, Lud wig Halverson Lee, Brooklyn cel lar murder suspect, emerged today with police claiming one "slightly damaging admission" as their sole victory. Grilling of Lee, an athieiic Kor- wegian of 38, was interrupted to day by his arraignment on a short affidavit charging him with the murders of Miss Sarah Elizabeth Brownell, 69 year old spinster to whom he said he had been en gaged, and Mrs. Selma Larsen Bennett, 4 8 year old mother of four children. Lee pleaded not guilty and was .held without bail. Today a patrolman found in Prospect Park, not far from the house where portions of the hack ed, bodies of Miss- Brownell and Mrs. Bennett were hidden, another package of bones. It was believed tbeae appertained , to the' same ftiurders. Lee. was janitor of the Prospect Place house, which Mrs. Bennett sold to Miss Brow nell. The "admission" police claim to have obtained from Lee was this: About the thirtieth hour of his grilling he told them, they report ed, that be had purchased several cans of lye from a Brooklyn hard ware Btore, making' small pur chases at different times. But to this assertion Lee added that he had bought the lye to cleanse the sewer and pipes, of the house in which grease had accumulated. "He's the toughest subject we ever handled," Inspector Sullivan said, as the questioning of Lee was halted in the fortieth hour, Lee smiled at reporters when he was 'taken 'to his cell.
