Apologies have been received now from the raâ€" dio authorities for this Mae West broadcast. The radio authorities are becoming almost as good as the Japanese in the matter of apologiesâ€"and alâ€" most as bad. The aforesaid radio authorities point out that the same skit, "Adam and Eve," was given several times on the air, though not by Mae West, and none of the previous performances roused any protest. A reading of the sketch, "Adam and Eve," does not bring gny blushes to the sensitive hides of any radio people. In other words, "Adam and Eve" can appear on the air without offence to any, but Adam and Eve and Mae West affront all moâ€" desty. Other artists presented "Adam and Eve" and there was no harm done. It was just like the average radio affair. Mae West, however, pepped up poor old Adam and Eve until they seemed little more modest than modern folks. This was too much. The innocent words of dear old Adam and sweet old Eve on the lips of the talented Mae West assumed a double meaning and the second meanâ€" ing was not so nice as the first. The poet Dryden to the contrary, second thoughts are not best, if Mae West prompts the second. Mae West has a way with her. How many people asked friends of the opposite sex to visit themâ€"before Mae West made famous the words, "Come up and see me sometime." Either Mae West has an expression in her voice that gives a new meaning to some phrases, or else the public has an imagination that takes meaning from words coming from Mae West. Either way, or both, what‘s the use? The public is not likely to change! And who would have Mae West different? ' If the radio people are right, and the skit, "Adam and Eve," is all right without Mae West, there is no need to kill it completely. Why not just barely keep it alive like most radio skits? With a coloured. pastor taking the part of Mae West, the sketch would no doubt go over in a big way on the air. There is a hint in all this for the radio people. Perhaps the fact is that a little rearrangement artists would make all the air skits less offensive.l Mae West might be able to make some of Walter Winchell‘s stuff mean something. Walter himself might be extremely useful to clean up the studios.} If there was any dirt anywhere, it would not escape Walter. Rudy Vallee might take prize fight parts. President Roosevelt should be good for a song and dance anytime. Charlie McCarthy could take Rudy Vallee‘s place. And best transfer of all:â€" deafâ€"mutes could be engaged to put on the air the despairing growth of air advertising. Then would the radio flourish indeed in popularity! The fur Brain. w Funeral of the Late Mrs. Joseph Brain It is said that a million people listened on Sunâ€" day, Dec. 19th. to the broadcast by Mae West, and that since then a hundred thousand people have forwarded protests to the broadcast authorities, claiming that the radio performance of the famous Mae was vulgar, objectionable. suggestive, indeâ€" cent and obscene, though otherwise it may have been all right. There is particular objection to such a broadcast being allowed on Sunday. Such an objection seems quite logical. There is an old saying to the effect that "the better the day the better the deed," and by the simple proâ€" cess of reasoning it is easy to understand that the worse the deed, the worse it would appear to be on any of the better days. 77 Birch street survived by her Many Beautiful Floral Triâ€" butes Express the Sorrow at This Death.

One of the houses entered was that of Inspector E. Pyle, chief of police of Sudbury. Those boys should see now that they are not discriminating enough to make good burgâ€" lars. Lads with so little judgment are good only for honest citizens. And that goes for the vast majority of folks! Speaking at the banquet given in his honour at Toronto recently, Dr. Hogg, chairman of the Hydro Electric Commission of Ontario, said:â€""While the mines must carry a proper share of the risk. may there not be sound reasons for the intelligent emâ€" ployment of government funds and government enterprise in Northern Ontario in coâ€"operation with the mining industry, to the mutual advantage of both?" This is the right attitude, but it is much different to the stand assumed years ago by the Hydro Electric Commission of Ontario. In the early days of the North, the whole burden of proâ€" viding power for the mines was left to private enâ€" terprise. The Hydro Electric Commission time and again refused to even consider entering the Northern field. ‘"Too speculative!" was the reply to many an appeal from the North. Private enâ€" terprise had to take all the risk and all the losses. Here‘s a list of the officers recently elected by a society or club in Kirkland Lake:â€"Neil Wilson, Sandy Cowan, Robt. Laver, Jock Pearson, Wm. Johnston, Alex Mowat, R. Pinegar, Major A. M. Stewart, Bob Taylor. No! It is not the Caledonian Society, though there is only one name that sounds as if it weren‘t Scottish. These are the officers of the Canadian Legion at Kirkland Lake, and conâ€" sequently the branch may well be termed the Scottishâ€"Canadian Legion. Well. after all, the editor of The Haileyburian is a good citizen, and a good newspaperman, even if he has apparently been taking time off to shave. It is something to have written, as he did, an arâ€" ticle on shaving cream tubes and their failings and virtues, making it of interest and: perhaps, of enâ€" couragement to service of the public by shaving cream makers. And this is the Christmas season! So, to the editor of The Haileyburian,. a very Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year, and may pot Christmas socks be full of shaving cream, free. and smooth! â€"that he is open now to try any new brand of shaving cream, and that it will be all right with him if free samples are showered upon him. He suggests that he has an open mind and a ready faceâ€"for shaving creamâ€"and that all samplesâ€" but they must be freeâ€"will be given the most careful consideration. For him no more the old tubes in chains! No! No chains!t They must be free! a little chain that held the cap to the tube. Beâ€" cause of this, he never had to crawl under the bed or the bath tub to find the cap of the tube, when it would fall on the floorâ€"as it invariably does in the natural course of affairs. The other day the Haileybury editor discovered that his favourite brand of shaving cream no longer uses that wonâ€" derful chain. and he can find no other brand that does. : After one search of the floor for the fallen cap, the editor tells his grievance to the world through the editorial columns of his paper. So far so good! But what is to come is not so encourâ€" aging to faith in editors. The Haileybury man asks only for a tube or two of shaving cream, with the handy little kinkyâ€"dink affair to keep the cap near the head. If he were filled with the newsâ€" paperman‘s traditional public spirit, he would at least have called for the invention of a similar hinkyâ€"dinkus for collar buttons. How often do those pesky things roll under the bed, or elseâ€" whereâ€"chiefly elsewhereâ€"just before the houseâ€" cleaning season. Sadder still, the Haileybury editor, who recently proved that he was Scottish enough to know who wrote Annie Laurie, makes the veiled hintâ€"and so near Christmasâ€"time, too Es hucom, * iGRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER <And now The Haileyburian is forward with a [irouble that seems more serious and annoying than the rape of Ethiopia or the danger of war in }Europe. It appears that for many years the editor of The Haileyburian has been using a particular brand of shaving creamâ€"unless he is trying to "highâ€"hat‘" other editors who have no particular reputation for shaving at all. Anyway the Haileyâ€" bury editor claims that he resisted all blandishâ€" ments and all high pressure salesmanship to turn his thoughts to other and supposedly superior brands of shaving cream. It wasn‘t the shaving cream that concerned him, so much as the fact that the tube of his favourite shaving cream had there is no such animal yet. As this is being writâ€" ten, that supposedly kinkless cord has kinks and knots that have a most sarcastic and sneering arrogance.
