There never (was much and the little has passed or Is passing. Probably a touch of vulgarity Is necessary In all humor, but even If that Is a false point of view it is at least traditionally present In American humor.

He came up out of the muddy Mississippi and yet the school children of a generation hence will see him In a white dinner coat, bland and Immaculate as a Sunday school superintendent have seen publicity material from an organization which seeks to buy his heme, and the literature is headed with the line, "He gave rest to a tired world," or some such twaddle. And he wasn't soothing syrup.

The fact that he was a humorist doesn't mean that he did not write with passion about American life and Just life. He lashed at the things which he did not like. If we say, what a funny and nice old man," It Is merely defensive. We have to pretend that he was Joking for the sake of our Belf-respect. Ministers and rotarlans and klansmen and hundred percenters and negro-baiters have no right to think that "HuckJo-barry Finn" la a funny book.

KsT stal more hydrants in that section. At a special town meeting In Georgetown, last week, a committee of seven was appointed to purchase a motor pumping engine. The Gardiner. Me. Firemen's Association now owns the once famous Baw Beese hand engine that for 14 years held the best record of any muster Its best play was 230 feet.

inches, made at South Framingham Sept 20, 1S81. The engine is a 10-inch Button built in 1S57, for Hinsdale, Mich. After the engine came to Qardiner and became a champion it was sold to the West Quincy Firemen's Association. The members lost interest and sold it to the Gardiner association for $700. The engine will take part In all musters this season in the Pine Tree State.

Mayor Chaplin of Portland and Chief Butler have been on an inspecting trip, to look over fire stations In Boston, Worcester, Springfield. Holyoke tnd New Bedford. A new Central Station Is to be erected in Portland this year for of a m-tor pumn'ng engine, hose wagon and aerial truck- ley, but the word is not broad enough. It will not suffice unless we dd that he is a satiric clown. www Benchley may well be one of the men who will serve to mark a reaction against the school of comies which pre- ails overwhelmingly in the theatre today.

Almost all the funny men depend ucxo pace for their effects. Jolson and Cantor have both seethe style of moving audiences to laughter by a certain savage, tumultuous beat. As a matter of fact, it Isn't so much laughter which they command as excitement. They rasp the nerves In order to tilt the audience into expectancy. The Benchley method is more Insinuating.

The leaps are verbal. It la a play of fancy rather than of feet, www Probably the most Interesting visitor from abroad will be Duse, but it may be that she comes back to America just a little bit too late. According to the reports returned travelers, Duse will thow to American audiences the last woj-d in naturalistic acting, in economy of voice and gesture. Undoubtedly the last word In this school has not been said, but we have had enough of the next to 'the last word Southbridge has offered to operate the fire alarm whistle free of charge. Chief Duchesneau stated that it would cost the town about $3000 to instal a new system.

At the field day of the Franklin Fire Department there will be a "Battle of Water" with the K. of C. This will be a new feature in firemen's field day. The Vermont State Firemen's convention will be held In Winoski Aug 10. With the single exception of Boston.

Chief Mead of Quincy and his command answer more alarms than any other city in this State. The South Kingston, Firemen's Association Will use the Aberdeen hand engine this muster season. The play of 243 feet inch, made bv the Washington of Wickford at Brockton, July 21, beats its own record nearly 19 feet. It was made with no important wind assistance. The superintendent of tire alarms has put in 10 more fire nlarm boxes In Arlington and added 10 so-called phantom boxes.

Mayor Cashman of Newburyport has closed a contract for a motor truck to be delivered Sept 25. The Everett Board of Aldermen has appropriated $23,500 to purchase motor the great difficulty which confronts every Nw York producer is that women have all but run away with the art of acting. Men of the first rank are rare, while there are women enough of genius, or at leayt high talent, to urnisb a star to every playhouse in town. (Copyright. 1S28.

Lieuts Pendergkst of Truck 24 and Peterson of Engine 3, 1 have been made captains and privates Flynn of Truck 17 and Donohoe of Engine 35, lieutenants. Kngines 9 and 40 received motor apparatus last week. The City Council of Brockton among its loan orders includes one of $40,000 for more motor equipment in the Fire Department. The Niagara Firemen's Association of Brunswick, Me, announces a hand engine muster to be held Aug 8 for first and second-class machines.

Alderman Horan of gomerville has already set in. Our greatest anticipations are centered upon the performance which tat Theatre Guild is to give of "Caesar and Cleopatra." This has always seemed to us the finest of Shaw's plays and one of the greatest of all time. It may be that the prejudice agralnst revivals will war against the success of the piece, but we hope not. The fact that a thing has been done before seems to us one of the most trivial reasons for flying into a state of calm. There is, however, the entirely legitimate handicap that when last seen In New York Forbes Robertson was the of the play.

To us it was the hish mark in his repertoire, a performance which transcended his Hamlet. The Guild will have to search assiduously to find some player tit to stand up against this memory. The role of Cleopatra seems to much simpler. Gertrude Elliott, who appeared with her husband, was no more -nauui ann -virs Marry lvi and family will spend the rest of the Summer at Kennebunkport.
