Every father of small boys has been familiar with this remedy for many years, and many 8 precocious youngster hag prescribed it for himself on sunny days when his throat was too sore to allow him to go to school. It never fails to cure.

Its use in hospitals, however, is limited to Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, where for sixteen years the circus never has failed to make little cripples forget their iron braces, while tiny sufferers from tuberculogis have no time to cough while the clowns and a elephants are performing in the oval space under the elm tree in Bellevue's front yard. At yesterday's performance there were many children from other hospitals where the circus tradition has not been the common talk of the wards for the last three weeks. Some of the wan-faced little strangers who were brought to Bellevue all wrapped up in steamer rugs had never seen an elephant at close range before, and when Jocko the monk, in his friendly way, stretched out a glad hand to five-yearold Angelica Testa there was a terrific shriek.

Katie's confident manner and the way she limped after Jocko on her agile little crutches and brought him back to shake hands with now hilarious Angelica made her the most admired personage in all hospital society.

Fewer Ex-Soldiers Idle Unemployment Problem Settled, Except in Eastern States From The Tribune's Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, April among former service men is gradually decreasing, a survey by the War Department discloses. Lieutenant Colonel Mathew C. Smith, head of the Service and Information branch of the War Department, who has been aiding "I fink dat monkey remember me," she confided proudly to her nurse. "Come again next year, Jocko." "You don't expect to be here to see Jocko next year, do you Katie?" the nurse gasped, "You've been here three years. That's enough for one little girl." Katie looked sober.

"I'd like to see again," she said, "but if I was and went packer home maybe my papa would take me to the real circus? Do you s'pose he would, Miss Mary?" Discussion of this joyous prospect was interrupted by more howls from Henrietta, who was having spasms all over again at the sight of the big elephant sitting on his trainer. After that Katie Shy constituted herself the official comforter to the younger children, and in a loud tone of voice introduced each act with a statement of reassurance, such as: "No, that doggie won't bite you. "No, that man didn't hurt himself. He likes to fall down." All Patients Feeling Better The administration of the circus tonic took more than two hours, and at the end of that time, what with all the spring sunshine pouring down on their little white faces, and the lines from eyes, every one of laughter that" had driven the pain the 3,000 patients was pronounced much improved. There were a good many doctors in white coats and nurses blue dresses, who had taken their own medicine, too, the verandas overlooking the circus.

The circus folks themselves said there was nothing like a visit to Bellevue to brighten the dull monotony of their lives, so that made it unanimous.

Six- twenty, Fifth Avenue Aftieth Street 00.00 020 The widely heralded parade of the devotees of denim fizzled out with a sickly sputter half an hour after it had been scheduled to start from Columbus Circle yesterday morning. The procession was then three blocks south of the circle in Seventh Avenue.

At that point the detachment of household economists sent over by the circus developed a severe case of temperament and left the parade, flat on its overalls at the corner of Fifty-fifth Street. When it started the parade was almost 175 persons and five animals strong. It took two minutes to pass a given point was greatly admired by all who could find it. The circus detachment was an imposing, and feature. the Three giant comprised elephants, two the delegation."

Giant Gazes Into Vacancy. The giant was the first one to the awful, utter hopelessness of it grasp all. eight or nine or ten or something feet tall, and from his elevation in the rear he was able to observe the tremendous spectacle in its entirety. It was spread out before his gaze in all its majesty and might. Giants are ing sight too much for the big notoriously soft and the amazfellow.

At the corner of Street the climax came. A little man, who was dragging behind him a "Down With the Profiteers" sign around" the cubic corner area, and ran accosted breathlessly. the "Hey, big boy," he said, "where's this here parade?" The giant waved an all-embracing fist almost as large as the Grand Central Station in the general direction of South Ferry. "This," he said, "is it." Then and there he resigned. "Get me two taxis," he said to his valet.

"I wish to return to the Garden." The defection of the giant from the cause was followed by the withdrawal of the elephants and the camels, after which practically all there was to the parade was the chorus lady who wore an evening gown of calico designed to demonstrate the possibilities of econin regard to quantity of material used. It is doubtful if ever before a demonstration so elaborately advertised has achieved so complete a fluff. Instead of six bands there was one, and it was silent, possibly through a fitting sense of respect for the sombreness of the occasion. School and college delegations where they could be identified were composed of one or two individuals. The rest was a quartet of automobiles almost obscured by flapping signs, advertising this or that theatrical attraction or film corporation.

A few children in their play clothes filled in the odd corners. A patched party who bore a sign reading "The beautiful city of Savannah, Georgia with you all," appeared to be uncertain of his exact whereabouts. "Are you sure this is the parade?" he asked from time to time after the fashion of who expects to wake up almost one, minute and find that it was all a dream. A Conscientious Parade It was a conscientious parade. In no single detail did it adhere to the advance notices, not even in the detail of routing.

It had been announced that the route would be down Broadway to Thirty-fourth Street, to Fifth Avenue, to Central Park. Instead the marchers assembled in Eighth Avenue, walked down Eighth Avenue for a while and then crossed over and walked up Broadway for a period. The spectators outnumbered the paraders would-be by spectators about 1,000 searched to 1.

Farrar Is Bombarded With Floral Bouquets Prima Donna in Last Appearance of Season Receives Numerous Tributes Geraldine Farrar was bombarded with flowers yesterday afternoon when she appeared for the last time this season at the Metropolitan Opera House. Mme. Farrar, who sang the title in "Tosca," was pelted with about ten bouquets at the end of the first act, and a similar number at the end of the second act. The appearance of the handsome call after the first act the prima donna in response wise a curtain for the shower of flowers to begin.

After the second act, when the task picking up the bouquets fell to Scotti alone, he was kept very much on the go seeing that they were all D'Angelo sang the of Angelotti, and remainder of the cast was: Malatesta, as the Sacristan; Bada, as Spoletta; Reschiglian, as Scianrone; Laurenti, as the jailer, and Arden the shepherd.

Gatti-Casazza and the thirty-fifth season at the Metropolitan Opera House came to an end yesterday. The last subscription was devoted to a performance of "Tosca" and a farewell demonstration for Miss Farrar, the latter being as obviously prearranged as the former, though less triumphantly carried out. Bouquets were thrown over the footlights when the prima donna showed herself, but thriftily so as to make as many calls as possible, and diligent effort raised the number of calls to eighteen twenty, which, we believe, was somewhat less than the desired though all the familiar devices were number, resorted to, a patter of gloved hands and hands unaccustomed to and the cheers the innocent devgloves to the was of the trained tees. At length came the also familiar scene of the lady appearing in her. dressing robe and, since it had to be, making a speech of gratitude for the past and hope of the future, with modest appreciation of the encouraging approbation, "Official during thanksgiving," the she season remarked, "comes in November, but the thanksgiving at the opera house at the end of April." came more applause, scription the curtain flickered fell and the subseason out.

In the evening there was nothing to stir amicably excitable natures except a good opera, "Oberon," well performed, by good artists, headed by Miss Easton in the part of Rezia, which has generally belonged to Miss Ponselle, of Mr. Martinelli, who has never sung and Mr. Kingston as Sir Huron in place the music with either the heroic style or voice which the Englishman put at the service of the opera cast last night. There was also an unexpected substitution of Giovanni Martino for Mr. Rothier as Charlemagne, and En unexpected substitution, an extremely feeble one, of Miss Edna Kellogg for Miss Delaunois as Puck.

climax of the evening WAS reached by Miss Easton's singing of "Ocean, thou mighty monster," which a splendid piece of vocalism, thrilling in its breadth and intensity, perfect in declamation and diction, the work of an intelligent, gifted and devoted artist. -Galli-Curci Sale Ends Sale of the effects of Amelita GalliCurci, prima donna of the Chicago Opera Company, which has been running for three days, was concluded yes. terdav afternoon at the Smith Knickerbocker Salesrooms, Fifty-third Street and Seventh Avenue.
