As the singers carried these songs, with their own variations and addition from place to place, the phrase became corrupted to "vaudeville," which has come down to us Two Men Arrested Different Times Same Night in Auto Afterward Stolen. The police today are searching for the automobile of Morris J. Mathis, 50S1 Kensington avenue, which, after figuring in three reports since 3 is listed among the missing. Motorcycle" Patrolmen La Tour and Murphy first saw the machine at Kingshighway and Dclmar boulevards.

They rursued it at a speed of 35 miles an hour, finally stopping it at Euclid and Fountain avenue-where Mathis explained he was taking five couples home from a party in Tuxedo Park. When the patrolmen did not heu Mathis' explanation of his haste, Benjamin Lipshutz, 6143 Enright avenue, hurried home and brought his father, Louis, to the tation to sign Mathis" bond. The party then proceeded on Ha way. At 3:15 a. m.

the same policemen reported sighting the sam car speeding west in Locust street and. following it from Twelfth boulevard to Jefferson avenue, where they arrested Lipshuta. He explained that he was driving for Mathis, who was unstrung by his arrest, and the elder IJpahutz was again called to A. S. M.

Hutchinson, brilliant English author and a bachelor says emphatically "no." Caroline Risque, St. Louis sculptor and a mother says" just as emphatically "yes." Hutchinson's argument is contained in a new novel setting forth the dire results to a family in which the mother has interests outside her home. Miss Bisque's arguments include a beautiful baby girl, two and a half years old, idolized by, and idolizing, her mother; a charming place in the country in which, at present, she fulfills the functions of cook, chambermaid and hostess, and a nearly completed group of statuary, the model for a fountain to be erected in Forest Park, by the Children of America Loyalty League. Miss Bisque's opinion was sought because she typifies, perhaps aa well as any woman in the world, "This Freedom," which the Englishman deplores. "Most certainly it can be done," says Caroline Risque.

"I'm not saying it's easy. Far from it. And it resolv.es itaelf into a grim sort of struggle with life. Are you going to win out. or must you go down and call yourself beaten? But it isn't reasonable to think that a woman who has been trained for some sort of work business or art, it's all one can deliberately shut It out of her life.

I don't believe she could do it. If she wanted to. You see, it's like this." Settling herself comfortably In her pretty wicker chair, the artist rumpled her shock of black hair thoughtfully, with her long-lingered, beautifully modeled hands. Kresmnan and assistant treasurer of the United fctatea, in a statement is-ued to Democrats today, urges them to vote for "every true Democrat" and exercise their Individual judgment tu to any "-whose record is questionable." If this practice is inimical to Senator Heed, Vandlver declares, it is because Keed'a interest is no longer that of the Democratic party. "Tho resolution adopted by the Association of Volunteer Democrats is very much fo the point concise and unequivocal," said Vandlver, "it echoes the sentiment of many thou-KimJj of loyal Democrats in Missouri.

How can anyone expect them to go back? It isn't possible. It isn't natural. "Furthermore, I don't believe that having children is a completely satisfactory means of self-expression for women. "Children express one side of woman's nature, but'hot the other. Of course," ehe continued, as well as she could for the two little fat arms of the baby that wound about her neck.

"If I had to give up one or the other, work would go. But I'd come back to It, eventually, just as I am doing now, in spite of every handicap that fate could put in my way. "Women are going to do things out of the home more and more, I believe. And it's a good thing for them. Good for women and good for the children.

I can think of lots of youngsters who would be better off if their mothers didn't concentrate on them so completely. "Only, a woman mustn't make the mistake of trying to supply a substitute for a mother. Substitutes are never good. They're imitations.

S. After hard work, the Missouri State Memorial begins to take final shape for the unveling on November II. Ever Bince her arrival in Paris, June 1, Mrs. Hahn has been engaged most earnestly in the perfection of the heroic figure of Victory Bringing Peace that crowns the whole. This figure is finally completed and all details are shaping nicely toward the finishing of all In due time for the stated day.

The sculptor's work is not finished when the statue is finally molded in the clay. Expert casters make a plaster mold of this and then cast a plaster reproduction. This must be retouched, and on a figure eight feet high, this means considerable effort. This plaster model is delivered to the bronze caster, -who makes a gelatine mold and in turn a wax replica of the figure, the thickness of the wax being the same as the final thickness of the bronze. This, again, must be retouched.

Then, the gates and risers for the pouring must be put on and layer after layer of wet sand packed and dried around the figure; then wire and planter. The whole Is now placed on a grill and an oven built about it; a slow fire is built below it and gradually Increased, until every vestige of wax is melted and burned away. After the mold it lowered into a pit and packed upright with more Hand. The crucible is charged with copper and tin, and the fire started.
