Sixth avenue and Jrant street, last night, heard speakers discuss political and economic topics of the day. Among those who spoke were Attorney William J. Bren-nen, W. T.

Martin, editorial writer of The Pout; Charles F. Iewis, editorial writer of The Sun John Laughlin, Frederick Hill, Mrs. George Shaffer and Prof. Murphy. Among the topics discussed were "Why Lansing Was Asked to Kosign," "Why Roosevelt Was Not Sent to Europe," "The Federal Reserve Act," "Thf League of Nations." and "Why Wood Was Not Sent to Europe in Command of the American Forces." Mr.

Urennen explained certain parts of the League of Nations, and answered some of the objections to the league, voiced by the Republicans. He explained why Article 10 is not to be feared, as enemies of the charge, but instead is one of the greatest efforts' to prevent war. Mr. Martin reviewed some of the utterances of Harding, and contrasted him with Lincoln. 'X)no obtains a' good idea of the difference between Lincoln and Harding by quoting some of the sayings of the two men although it is almost a sacrilege On the Pittsburgh Stage With the shortage of coal and gas a serious certainty, people are going to need warmer nightclothing this winter.

We decided to supply women's needs in this direction, at a MATERIAL SAVING IN PRICE.

In order, to overcome the prejudice of women who have always thought of Flannelette Gowns as unattractive garments, we have had these made in pleasing, becoming styles. There are yoke models, slip-ons, collar and collarless gowns; all with some sort of tasteful trimming, either hemstitching, featherstitching, ribbons, or the like. There is a full size range at each price, and Extra Sizes at $2.85. The garments will be arranged on special tables, according to sizes, so that a woman needs waste no time in choosing. Acting today in this direction, means a supply of comfortable sleeping garments for the Winter, at a saving which a woman cannot afford to overlook.

Frederick Hill, an ex-service man, end a pro-league Republican, told why he and thousands of others who served in the United States army are fighting for the League of Nations.

He concluded with the statement: "Last week a Republican speaker said: 'I would rather see the heart of the world broken into 500,000 pieces than to help erect one white cross over an American soldier in Europe who had lost his life in a quarrel which was none of our And I say that I would rather see one white cross over an American soldier in Europe and that one to be me, than to see 500,000 white crosses over 500,000 American soldiers in Europe, should America reject the Leageu of Nations."

"Listen Lester" returned to the Nixon last night stiil running true to the Pittsburgh O. K.

given this irrost rollicking of musical entertainments on its first presentation here several seasons ago. The play is permeated with a Palm Beach atmosphere and -the action is decidedly terpsichorean. There is a plot imagine what befalls a fat man Who mushy letters 'to a manicurist, and then finds himself bitterly pursued. Fred Heidor was considerably more than one-half of one per cent of the vim in this frolic. He is a delirious dancer, funny in expression and amusing in dialogue.

In his distress in solving problems as a hotel clerk he slid and glided and doubled and frenzied: he drank from the ink bottle, blotted hi head, and in the crescents of his agitation harked to the Pittsburgh Sunday Post and gave the National call for help. "Oh, Min!" Earl Higley, the fat man. is intenselv amufmg. He succeeds nobly in swallowing his sorrows, smoothing his furrows, and exuding optimism. The hotel has a porter, Lester is his name, and Delano Dell plays the part.

Lester serves in several capacities and in each he makes a big hit. His giassv stupid countenance, disjointed movements and grotesque dancing kept the nudienco in an -uproar. June Roberts sang sweetly, but danc-in? is her forte. Gracefully she glided about the stage, delighting with the ease and agility with which she continually tipped her toes in the direction of the big dipper. Kate Stout was the trailing Arbutus and interpolated her graceful dances with a ecodly measure of well-slung Evelyn Paul has a rich full voice, hut lost out when she matched it with that sonorous male quartet an organization which makes the calliope on the Homer Smith sound like a mailorder-house mandolin.

"Listen Lester" is rich in music and throughout the plav runs the sweet melody. "Waiting for You." DAVIS Vaudeville. Musical show lightness frisked through Keith vaudeville in the Davis yesterday. Three features of this sort were Wilbur Mack's airv dialogue as a flirting golfer with a company of three mat stepped a little and sang a little; Gertrude Vanderbilt. siender and graceful and devilish, of "Listen Lester" popularity, coquetting with her audience, sending her ankles higher than her curly head, doing a newly-wed sketch with Dean Moore, and also a shop-girl skit: and Charles Irwin, who succeeded Clifton Crawford in "Her Soldier Boy," again giving his convivial "hie" monologue about the poem 'of "Anne Laurie" with "brow like a snowdrift the poet's way of saying she had a frozen face; and her swanlike) neck what a battle she would give the spaghetti!" Irwin added: "Without liquor I know I am going to live longer the days seem so long." Other funny spots in the bill were the newcomers, Burt Gordon and Gene Ford, his Yiddish voice flatting while she undertook to show him how to warble.

Lynn and Howland renewed acquaintances with the Knglish chappie reciting a "eork-ah." and the American preferring to vocaiize. Blindfolded, Zomah from the London Coliseum appeared unaided by code as she told wiiat articles were shown in the audience to her assistant circulating from balcony to orchestra, and ask-ii'4T for no questions. Apparently she named the birthdays of persona, told the time by others' watches, announced dates on coins, and named the cards as played by holders of two euciier hands. "For what a stake cost-t now we used to buy a cow," caroled Billy vreen with Homer Dean, besides giving a hot scawtch kiltie fling, and a hotter operatic squawk. The accordion also wailett.

Theodore Roberts scores one of the individual hits as the professor down-at-the-heels, sunny-hearted and a friend to Harold Goodwin is the college lover.

The Texas Four were favorites with their singing. The Chalfonte Sisters' dancing appealed in several attractive scenes. Jimmy Rosen, a diminutive cornic in "Call Me Pana." caused manv l.mhs as inebriated husband. Knight Saw-telle joked to much appreciation. Fox Benton showed comic acrobatics.

News reels and others were shown. SHERIDAN SQUARE Vaudeville The vaudeville at Sheridan Square last night included several novelties.

The question of control by National and state author- itles of fraud and misrepresentation in the offering of securities was dis cussed by the committee on legisla tion of the Investment Bankers' Association of America, in a report read before the annual convention here today by Howard F.

Beebe of New York. "It seems certain," the report said, "that acts seeking to control the evil 'in the various states will have to be made uniform, and very active co-operation between the officials of the various states maintained In order to control the fraudulent securities menace. It seems logical to believe that eventually a National act will be required to supplement the various etate activities." The report reviewed conditions In the several states and said: "It Is felt that real progress has been made." The committee on taxation, in a report which was read by Roy C. Osgood of Chicago, expressed the belief that "The excess profits tax must be repealed." and Efficiency Desks and Record Safes Mi imi 1 a Conservation Week in Near Future. Strict conservation and rationing of natural gas ia the only way to prevent it from becoming extinct as a household commodity.

Consumers must be educated in the correct use of th fuel to insure proper combustion and prevent waste. Unlesa this is done without delay, there will not be enough natural gas for everyone during the coming winter, and the shortage will be very acute. This is the opinion of Samuel 6. Wyer, consulting engineer of Columbus, and connected with the United States bureau of mines. Wyer met with representatives of various clubs and civic orfianizatifins in the bureau of mines building yesterday afternoon to discuss the intensive conservation campaign about to be launched in Pittsburgh.

These organizations have responded to the urgency of gas conservation and will practically have charge of the campaign work. A week, to be called "gas conservation week," is expected to be proclaimed in Pittsburgh Asquith Favors Irish Dominion LONDON, Oct. 5. In a communication printed in the London "Times" today Herbert H. Asquith, former prime minister, declares he is convinced the bestowal upon Ireland of the status of an autonomous dominion in the fullest and widCdt sense is the only solution of the Irish problem.

To accomplish this, says Asquith, it is necessary to make the Irish people believe that which is offered comes from an honest and also a reliable source. With reference to Viscount Grey's recent proposal concerning Ireland Mr. Asquith says "I cannot bring myself to contemplate, even as a counsel of ultimate despair, our Anal abandonment as he seems to suggest of the trust which history has Imposed upon us." Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of Cork, passed a fair night in Brixton prison, having had several hours sleep, but it does not seem to have refreshed him much, said a bulletin issued this morning by the Irish Self-Determination League.

AI.VIN "Piccadilly to nroadway." While the new review at the Alvin goes ahead of any other in undressing the chorus queens, it also back farther in its survey, opening with Thespis and Greek 'tragedy eclipsed by a youthful newcomer in a hysterical toga, sticking up behind Johnny Aristophanes Dooley, proclaiming a new presence in the theater, a show with women. Thereat 15 divinities flit across the petrified vision of business men who might have been tired, but they didn't know it when looking at that "Piccadilly to Broadway" chorus. Each girl in her form-revealing wi.p of purple g-auae hadn't a stitch ijotween her curves and the appraising eyes out front. Nothing in autumn scenery is as bare as this chorus.

He drops his H's, gargles grapefruit, and puts ham in his pants pocket. In a subsequent scene, worked over from the variety skit about a glass of water that turns red when unfaithfulness comes fnto married life, the Londoner has a less humorous part as a butler. Act II in a nursery of American home life brings him as "a middle-aged filbert." and in the roof-top finale he is a roof gardener.

A most laughable incident in Dooley's fandangoes was his trving hats on Helen Broderick of the sad lace remem- Derea in vaudeville as a vii'ace belle who danced the "Max itch." He labbed a little bird's nest on her head, and the signt flattened him into a backward crawl. Other deliriums that he stuck on her gent him into ecstatic flops.
