EDoinmom Big Boy Blues chapter ii rn HEN Willie takes his depart. I ure and I remain sitting there awhile thinking of what a great surprise it is to Broadway years ago when Big Boy Blues hauls off and marries a small canape by the name of Miss Rosie Flynn who is singing in the Golden Supper Club West Forty eighth street and how Bookie Bob goes around offering to lay plenty of 9 to. 5 that Big Boy gives her at least two broken arms inside of two weeks and finding no takers as Big Boy is known to one and all as a crud character. He is at least six feet three! inches high and he weighs any. way 220 pounds and he has loud voice that causes parties four block away to tremble when he lets it out and he has a record at police headquarters that consist mainly of mayhem.

He is a door man and a bouncer at the Golden Slipper when I first know him but one day he climbs on the seat of a stray truck and drives it off and the next thmg anybody knows he has one of the largest trucking buisnesses the city. Now Miss Rosie Flynn does not weigh ninety pounds with her girdle on and she has red hair and freckels and is by no means spectacular singer but she is prac tically famous on Broadway because it is generally conceded that she is pure. The chances are she can marry into much more genteel circles than those in which Big Boy Blues moves just on the strength of being pure and it is the popular belief that Big Boy frightens her into marrying him as no one can think of any other reason for this union. Well, after they are married and before the stray truck comes along to provide the keystone for Big Boy success they live in a small apartment as far over on West Forty ninth street as anyone can live unless they live in a canoe in the North River and it is by no means a fashionable neighborhood but it is ihe best they can do on their income those days and it is there a son is born to them who is so small that Big Boy is greatly mortified and slightly perturbed. In fact, he brings the child over on Broadway and goes around peering into the faces of various Broadway personalities who infest the Golden Slipper and then gazing closely at the child as if he is making compari' sons.

I never see this child again and to tell the truth I seldom see Big Boy Blues afterwards and then only when I do not learn in advance that he is coming my way but I read now and then in the blats about him slugging his; truck drivers or somebody else truck drivers or just somebody else, so I judge he is the same old Big Boy. Remains Puny But as the years go on I oe casionally run into Rosie Flynn who seems to be fatting up some. what in spots and she tells mel that Big Boy by no means admires the child that she now speaks of as Little Boy Blues because he remains puny and scary but I can see that Rosie thinks very well of him, indeed. In fact Little Boy Blues is all she talks about and as he gets older I learn from her that she has him away at school much as possible as he is a great eyesore to Big Boy who keeps him frightened half to death by yelling at mm and sometimes giving him a few clops. From what Rosie tells me, I judge Little Boy Blues is quite a weakling and far from being a credit to a.

virile personality nR Dirt T3 1 i .1. buui aa juig uul wiieu lilt: war comes on and Little Bov is drafted, Big Boy becomes very proud of him and wishes to be real fatherly toward him. In fact, one day at Dix where Little Boy Blues is stationed for awhile, Big Boy approaches him with his hand extended to shake hands and Little Boy is so alarm ed that he turns and runs away and keeps running until he is so far from camp that he is two days finding his way back and is put aown as awul. Well. I become so interested in what West Side Willie tells me about the show that I go to the Grand Central at noon myself the next day to see the soldier com pany arrive and it is quite an impressive scene as the members are in full marching gear with fifloo Qnd nil 41.:,.

West Side Willie does not march with them but joins me in follow mg them only we stick to the sidewalk and people stop and ap plaud the company and the mem bers bow right and left and smile and when I say to Willie that consider this somewhat unmili tary, he says: Well," he says "you see most of these guys are professional actors even if they are soldiers and they are bound to take bow; when they hear applause even if they are sitting in the electric chair waitine for the buv to null I tne switch."

1 Governor Backs Mental Health i Bureau Plan A Republican Senator says Governor James H. Duff "is in favor" of creating a separate department of mental health a move opposed by Charlie R.

Enhaut Man Fined For Illegal Sale Of Liquor, Beer Clarence Siler, Enhaut, proved a friend indeed of Samuel Shelley, also of Enhaut, but the results were not as they expected. Instead both of the men found themselves in trouble in the Dauphin County Court. Shelley was charged by the State Liquor Control Board 'with illegal sale of liquor and beer. He declared vociferously and re peatedly that he was "framed," that he was not in the place the time the sale was made, and that it was his twin brother. To substantiate these allegations Siler took the witness stand and told President Judge William M.

Hargest, "I made the sale of beer to my friends. I sold them five bottles of beer at 15 cents each, just what I paid for it." He add ed Shelley was not on the premises but the latter's twin brother, Nick, of Georgia, was among the "friends." The Court didn't believe the testimony and as Shelley was a second offender in liquor viola tions, fined him $400 and sent him to jail for a month. For being such a good fellow and trying to shoulder the blame Siler found himself out on bail to be held over for the next term of court when the grand jury will be asked to act on a charge of illegal sale of beerj against him. At the close of Siler's testimony District Attorney Carl B. Shelley preferred the charge before Judge Hargest on the basis of the witness having admitted a violation in open court.

Albert Holton, 1231 Apple street, who denied having sold liquor and beer to enforcement agents on March 3 and 6, was adjudged guilty and fined $200 although he claimed his "office" had burned down some time earl ier and had not been repaired at the time the sales were supposed to have been made. Others sentenced today for liquor law violations were Irene Wallace, at Helen's Green Lunch, 621 Cumoerland street, $200; Henry Sanders, 1026 South Ninth $200; Watt Leak, 717 Cowden, $500 and six months; Walter Hooker, 719 Cowden, $200; Ar thur Leroy Carpenter 458 Cum Derianu, $zuu. Wallace, a sister of Irene, was acquitted of similar charges. Other sentences were Toby J. Cotton, 606 Briggs, assault and battery and surety of peace, four months in jail arm $50 fine; sur ety and malicious mischief cases dismissed, with costs on the coun ty; Millard S.

Myers, 1922 North Iifth, drunken driving, $200; Harry Linn Yengst. drunken driving, $300; Ellis R. Fisher, 1011 worth Front, gaming house, $300; George White, Enhaut, statutory charge, pav expenses; John S. Lingle, 1922 Briggs, statutory charge, $5 and twelve months, to be paroled at the end of one month. Frank Pulford, Hazleton, was acquitted of driving after sus pension of license, while the grand jury ignored assault and battery charges against Charles Harpster and Edward Fry, both of 2143 North Figth street, and placed the costs on the two men.

The Welfare Department now supervises the Commonwealth's mental institutions through a Bureau of Mental Health.

Establishment of the department was opposed vigorously by officers of the Medical Society )f Pennsylvania. They, like Barber, contended that a new department would be costly, would overlap present functions of the Bureau of Mental Health and that the Welfare Department could carry out a comprehensive mental health program with the more than $70,000, 000 of appropriations recommended by the Governor. However, the Public Charities A i a tion of Pennsylvania, headed by Judge Nochem S. Win nett, of Philadelphia, said a new department would be of great benefit to the Commonwealth. "It (the mental health program) should not be handled by a small bureau in a Department of Welfare, but by a dynamic Department of Mental Health," Winnett declared.

Charles Denby, of Pittbsurgh, vice president of the association, read a letter in which he quoted former Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts as advocating the new department. Secretary Barber said he believed "the present Bureau of Mental Health can handle the job if given the tools to work." He said "those tools" now are in the form of some $70,000,000 of appropriations before the Legislature "all recommended by the Governor." Dr. H. K.

Petry, president of the State Medical Society, spearheaded the society's opposition to the House approved bill, saying that it would cause "a tremendous delay" in advancing Pennsyl vania's mental health program. Dr. C. L. Palmer, of Pittsburgh.

said the society believes establishment of a new department would not be "as economical as the con summation of the present program under the present Administrative setup."
