The amendment to the zoning ordinance granting to T. W. Campbell a change of f one for one lot on North 24 th street, will be up for renewed consideration. It was t etoed last week by the may or. Aldermen who voted for it at the last meeting, take the position that they had no other coarse open to them, as Mr. Campbell's petition -carried signatures of more than the required percent age of property owners affected.

DOAK "Eddie, the manager wants you to do the same thing that you did this afternoon." It vas back stage at the Elsinore theatre Sat urday night and Eddie was one of the Three Gobs, colored boys, by name Soany, Eddie and Ed die who took three encores a few minutes before with an orig inal act that had the merit of being both amusing and clever. Standing near him was Fer mlne of the team of Fermine and Lorrtg, who present an Aatec In dian dance on the Fanchon and Marco bill today. I went back stage to talk to a girl but I found my quest to be Fermine, a man of no particular age, slim, small, a face- whose lines are classic. When he spoke his accent defied identification, ecept that It had the soft roll of the romantic south. In the few minutes snatehed conversation he said: "I am half Altec and half Mexican. I can not remember when I did Wot know how to dance these dances. Yes. I have been on the stage a long time. I have appeared many times In Washington, D. C, doing special features when the Mexican ambassador entertained. The mu sic which, accompanies our act here was written by Gome An dre and is the real music of my people." And .with charming cour tesy he was gone. Fermine and Lorris are wot on ly -exceptionally fine, but they hare a spectacular chorus back ground and outstanding music for their native dance, "Praying for Raig 'Two acrobatic dancers, Marie and Mildred, do some un usual work with this chorus. Th whcdM aet 'la led by a"; very good BoitftFfi f r Charley Rozell is - the comedy for the show. The antics he per forms with his "bassoon" are quite effective mirth-provokers. As to the feature picture its Irish brought which becomes badly mixed with Anglo Saxon on occasion, pigs, and love. Colleen Moore's giggle may be Irish if It is, no wonder we hear only of the "Irish smiles." There Is much musical ability In the main char acters which when displayed is really quite pleasing, but for the most part it Is to be feared the director did not take time enough to Iron out the American" in an Irish picture.

Bothered for years by house to house solicitors selling almost ev ery conceivable article of mer chandise, local housewives are' complaining of the Increasing number of calls being made- on them this fall by people selling Christmas cards. Seldom do these solicitors rep resent local merchants. When they do housewives don't object to their calling. As one indignant lady put It, "When every Tom, Dick and Har ry goes Into the Christmas card business and camps on my front porch day after day, keeping me from my work, I get tired of it.. "It doesn't seem to me that It Is quite fair to our local mer chants to allow such people to sell cards when they pay no taxes or license fee for the privilege. It's bound to hurt the merchant's bust ness' and anything whlcji hurts local business doesn't do the town any good. "I, for one, am going to buy my cards from a regular card dealer, just as I did last year. So all these Christmas card peddlers can strike my name off their list of prospects. It'll sure save them a lot of time and me a lot of bother."
