WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1915. m UNLOADING “WAR-BABIES/’ Perhaps no one stock hits been more spectacular than Bethle- i i on Steel, in the war stock gamble of the past six months. It is presumed to be the bellwether of the “war-babies” and e "war-bride." as the stock exchange brokers call them. The war stocks are given one more bounce upwards by the f rculation of the story that President Schwab of Bethlehem has ibbscribed, for his company, for no less than $25,000,000 of the Anglo-French war bonds. On the very day that that story was being heralded by the New York newspapers tickets told of two stockholders’ lists of Bethlehem Steel which are on file and are of interest. *' On^ist, of date April 10. showed that Mr. Schwab then owned 48,161 shares of Bethlehem preferred stock and 1001 of common. The other list, of date September 27th, showed that while the lambs of Wall street were frantically bidding up war stocks the president of the company was unloading—for the September list fthows that he then owned of record only 38,451 preferred and no common at all. - : . » •: 1 J Similarly Mr. Untermcyer, deep in the councils of the insiders, Is shown by the stockholders’ lists to have reduced the 15,500 shares of Bethlehem preferred which he owned on April 10 to 8800 shares on September 27th. This is only one example of how, after years of waiting, the E blic has been coaxed back into Wall street and is exchanging i perfectly good cash for—well for something that the insiders are quite willing to exchange for said cash, RESPECT FOR LAW. ,. Mayor Thompson of Chicago finds himself in a most embar rassing and difficult situation. The mayor announces his discovery that Chicago saloons Jiave been keeping open on the Sabbath. And the mayor, advised by his legal aides that the sale of liquor on Sunday is in viola tion of the state law, has ordered the dramshops closed on that j{ny. J, Now the saloonkeepers threaten to force all business to sus pend on Sunday, in compliance with the blue laws. ;■ Hundreds of the mayors in the United States have faced the siame situation as has Thompson. But they have taken the law into their own hands. They have held that the time worn blue lAws are impossible of enforcement in this modern day. j* Yet these same laws continue to burden the statutes of states Everywhere. All of which emphasizes again the fact that silly, antiquated Jiws which are allowed to stand on our statutes without enforce- {tnent and to rehabitate a respect for those which should be en forced. t r v: rfc- ■ ■■ - - “BLOODTHIRSTY ARMENIANS.” Count von Reventlow says the massacre of thousands of ’bloodthirsty Armenians” by the Turks was necessary.

Scene from "Itobin ood,” which comes to the Colonial theater next Friday evening. “ROBIN nOOD.” James Stevens, the leading bari tone with the de Koven Opera com pany, which will be seen here in “Robin Hood” at he Colonial next Friday evening, was surprised in Seattle last season to find a stran ger waiting for him at the stage door. He was greeted with the re mark, “I knew you were a hero in real life and now I find you playing one on the stage/’. The story fol lows: Stevens is the proud possessor of a ranch near Medford, Oregon, on which he spends his vacation*. One day while prowling through the woods, he w*s attracted, by a shot and the scream of a mountain lion. He hurried in the direction in time to see the wounded beast about to spring upon a hunter, who was vain ly snapping his magazine rifle, evi dently having neglected to load it to its capacity. As the lion sprang through the alf, Stevens brought him down with p well-directed shot, there by saving the hunter’s life. * He proved to be a Mr. Ferris, oi Sacramento, and left immediately for his home. Stevens had not seen him since, until he was found sing ing Little John in “Robin Hood.” “THE RED ROSE/’ One of the satisfactions gained from the phenomenal success of John C. Fisher’s musical hit, “The Red Rose,” which comes to the Colonial next Saturday, October 23, is that it is in every sense an American pro duction. Each detail of its splendors was outlined originally in this country and the imported gowns pnd cos tumes used were brought over only in order to give local color to the big scenes that are located in Paris according to the demands of the plot. Heretofore it has been neces sary to draw upon the continental field for really successful musical comedies. “The Red Rose” reverses this rule and singularly enough it is the greatest success of the kind ever known in New Yorw, and has achieved even a greater success in Boston, Philadelphia an$l Chicago., * In the cast will be keen Margue rite Dc Von, Nellie Wagner, Hubert Boyle, Aldcn MacClaskie,' Maurice Darcy, Donald Archer, Evelyn Stew art, Robert LaLonde, George C.

The largest iron- producing region in France is in Ger man occupation and home production has had to be supplemented by orders abroad, chiefly in the United States. Besides ordering steel in the United States, the French shell manufactur ers have also bought there most of their hydraulic machines for shell forging. Cost of the shells ordered for France in America have been un finished, the finishing of them being committed to French industry with the object of helping out the small manufacturer who would otherwise be idle and whose works are not equipped for the production of the shell from start to finish.

Store employes estimate that be tween 300.000 and 400,000 of their number will come back when peace is declared. The number of clerks is expected to be correspondingly large, and the number of technical workers is also very great. The figures re fer to entire Germany. The Leipzigers believe that the work of finding places for Leipzig’s share of the returning throng , must be be gun now if there is not to be confu sion and suffering for many seeking work. The mercantile, technical and office employers of the city are press ing the matter especially, in the belief that* their branches of labor are go ing to be particularly hard pressed. In their petition, however, they do not hazard a guess as to when the re turn will begin. WILL MOLLIK MARRY JIM?- “Why don’t you say a good word for me to Mollic, Margie?” “Because I don’t think she should marry yoy.” Jim turned red and then white. “Will you kindly tell me Margie Waverly, what you have against me? You have always seemed to be a splendid good friend.” “I haven’t a thing in the world against you; in fact, next to Dick 1 think I love you better than any other man I know, but Jim you are too old for Mollic.

You must realize that women of that age would make you happier than a girl.” Poor Jim looked rather crest-fall en and I added, “There are plenty o women of the proper age that you could marry, Jim.” “But,", he expostulated, “they are not young and I love young.wSmoit.t There you have it, little book.
