NEW ORLEANS MAN
HAS LINCOLN CANE
New Orleans, La. (jTi The ebony
cane carried by Abraham Lincoln
the night he was assinatcd has
come to New Orleans along with
swords of Lord Nelson, the great
British Admiral and Marshal Joffre,
of Prance.
Their owner, S. J. Shwartz, de
clines to tell how he came into pos
session of the Nelson and Joffre
swords and explains he purchased
Lincoln's cane recently from Arthur
L. on Dolcke, of Charlevoix, Mich.
Dolcke had received it from his
father, who in turn had got it from
a negro janitor of Ford's theater.
An affidavit accompanying the
cane relates that the janitor found
it in the theater box the night Lin
coln was shot and had given it to
Dr. Von Dolcke, of Washington.

New York (,?) Broadway consid
ers that It is contributing its share
to the amusement and culture of
the nation when 15 shows worth
cheering for are on view at one
time among its half a hundred
playhouses.
This season the Mazda Canyon
can point with pride to that num
ber of notable plays and hilarious
musical shows without any over
statement of its wares. The Forties
echo with the laughter of the cus
tomers 'at such comedies as "June
Moon," "Strictly Dishonorable" and
"It's a Wise Child;" throb with the
searching tragedy of penal injus
tices revealed la "The Criminal
Code." thrill with the lifelike hor
rors of such mystery plays as "Sub
way Express," "Rope's End." and
"Remote Control," and lilt with the
sad or merry melodies of "Sweet
Adeline," Bittersweet," and "The
Street Singer."
Here are some of Broadway's new
toasts :
Charles Butterworth. the forlorn
and eager clown of "Sweet Ade
line," a Notre Dame graduate who
quit the practice of law to be a
'unny man.
Harry Rosenthal, who pounded
night club pianos around town for
oars until Ring Lardner found he
was just the man to play a wise
cracking keyboard thumper in
"June Moon."
Muriel Klrkland, who was born
in Yonkers but Inherited from her
daddy just the sort of southern
dialect, thick and smooth as a mag
nolia leaf, that makes her drawled
ingenuities so lovably funny in
"Strictly Dishonorable."
Walter Graeza, who Jumped from
a Jamaica, L. I., stock troupe Into
the role of the gushing radio an
nouncer of "Remote Control" who
disperses a bandit gang and solves
a killing in a broadcasting studio.
Mildred McCoy, chosen by Bel
a sco to vend the uproarious come
dies of "It s a Wise Child."
Siegfried Rumann. who quit yo
delling in a Yorkville beer garden
to play notably the German ober
lieutenant of "The Channel Road."
Evelyn Laye, Puckish prima
donna imported from London to
add delight to Noel Coward s oper
ette. "Bittersweet."

GLOW FROM MATCH
ILLUMINATES BULB
New York VP) Presaging perhaps
the time when the burglar's flash
light will turn on the house illum
ination to spoil his "job," there is an
electric light in New York that
lights with a match.
Any kind of lighted match held
about an inch beneath this fixture
turns on the electricity. A pocket
flash will tAirn It on with equal dispatch.
The light is Installed in one of
the rooms of the Westinghouse
Light i tig Institute in Grand Central
palace.
It burns only as long as the
match or other light is held be
neath, for it Is operated by a photo
electric cell, sensitized to light, and
set to turn off again as soon as the
light below is removed.
The lamp is installed to give vis
itors ajsurprise and to suggest pos
sibilities for future uses of special
Iy sensitized cells.

NEW YORKERS PAY
FOR PARKING CARS
New York. UP) New Yorkers have
progressed by easy stages from
meekly checking their hats at two
bits or a dirty sneer per hat to
checking their cars. For the privil
ege of parking hla car during the
theatre hours on any Times Square
side street, the sophisticate now
meekly shells out either fifty cents
or one dollar.
I Of course it Is Illegal. There Is no
earthly reason why anyone should
be able to collect parking charges
on a public street. Nevertheless un
der the thin guise of "car watchers"
a new and profitable racket has
sprung up. The Whalen traffic
rules forbid any theater hour park
ing in the Times Square district.
Plutocarats who own their trans
portation are thus compelled to
abandon their vehicles blocks
away, In the dimly speakeasy dis
tricts.
A "watcher" appears as If by
magic, offering suggestions for
curb-crowding with a meaning
smile. Alter the theater and a
long walk the car owner finds the
"watcher" with a stm more mean
Ing smile at the door of his fllv-
ver. He customarily gives up with
out a struggle.
Peeksklll, N. (IP SUndlnf on
a bluff commanding the Hudson
River here is St. Mary's School
for girls life moves tranquilly;
the Sisters and their pupils go
about their daily tasks freed from
the hustle and bustle of ordinary
life. St. Mary's is designed in
medieval gothic style and it has a
medieval gothic air.
Yet the school has one very
compelling contact with the out
side world. Twice a day the Can
adian Colonial mail plane wtngs
its way overhead and the pilot dips
and waves his hand. For Just be
fore either Newark or Albany he
has received weather reports from
the Sisters of the school Four times
a day they describe weather con
ditions to the United States Wea
ther Bureau.
To the outsider there is some
thing anomalous about weather
reports coming from such a seqties
trered unworldly spot. A school of
this type should hardly be expect
ed to be cooperating w.' i such a
modern phase of life ms aviation.
Yet the Sisters themselves see
nothing paradoxical about it.
The Duroose of our order" said
one of the nuns, ts service to oth
ers. The sending of daily reports
rendering a service to the pilots
and their passengers is a real re
sponsibility; we are aware that
upon our reports depends the
safety of others. Consequently we
endeavor to .make our reports as
accurate as possible.
