WOMEN'S LAUGHTER,

London, Sept. 8. "You yellow-bellied. Iop-sided

During a discussion upon a re- solution in connexion with the Washington Hours Convention at|logworms." the Trade Union Congress in Edin- burgh last month there was a "breeze" between Mr. J. H. Thomas and Mr. A.J. Cook.

When, Mr. Thomas entered the rostrum, Mr. Cook rose to a point of order. Mr. Thomas, he said,

is a member of the General Council and he has no right to speak from the rostrum in opposition to a General Council resolution.

Mr. Thomas-I am speaking on behalf of the National Union of Railwaymen and not on behalf of the General Council.

This is one of the comparatively mild things which fall to the lot of Mr. Sam Livesey, who plays the leader of the snarling, shout- ing, cursing pack in "The Wolves," at the New Theatre, W.C.

Seemingly the big majority of theatregoers like this sort of thing. At any rate, "The Wolves," "Potiphar's Wife," "The Fanatics," four of the most out- spoken plays running" in London, are four of the most popular.

words in this play are accepted quite calmly by the audiences.

Mr. Cook tried to reply, but could not make himself heard. There was considerable commotion, and the chairman rang his bell several times.

"

The Chairman-There is no need to discuss this. Mr. Thomas is entitled to speak for his Union.

Mr. Thomas did not oppose the resolution, but explained the posi- tion of the railwaymen in 'regard to the Convention.

When Music is Drudgery. The Congress passed a resolu- tion protesting against the insi dious methods adopted to abolish the 1920 Early Closing Acts, on the grounds that neither the shop keeping community nor the shop ping public declared an extension of shopping hours..

The resolution urged that any measures to be introduced in Par- liament should provide for a legal limitation of the working hours in shops and warehouses, to not more than 48 per week; local au- thorities to have power to make Closing Orders earlier than 7 p.m.; and the compulsory closing of shops not later than 7 o'clock on four nights of the week, and not later than 8 o'clock on one night of the week,

Two Points of View.

At a recent performance úť "Poliphar's Wife" (whose pyjamaå caused such a stir when the play was produced a few weeks' ago) an elderly woman did try to per- suade her young companion leave after the first act, so the Middleton. author,: Mr. Edgar told me.

"We don't want. to listen this," said the older woman.

"Oh, yes.. we do," replied the Yunger and had her way. When Strindberg's "The ther" was being played at Everyman Theatre, Hampstead- it is now at the Savoy-a member of the company told me that one evening a woman stood up in the audience and exclaimed:

"Stop this play !"

串

"Madam, you are at liberty to leave the theatre if you do not. like the play," retorted M.. Robert Loraine, who plays the chief part of a father tortured by doubt regarding the paternity of this daughter.

I am told that he was loudly cheered and that the interrupter subsided.

WORKHOUSE MYSTERY.

DEAD AND 28 ILL AFTER CORNED-BEET.

NJ

An inquest was held at Ful- ham, S.W., recently on William Hill, aged 82, and Arthur Wise- man, aged 62, inmates of the Ful- ham institution, who were taken ill and died after a midday meal on a Friday.

Twenty-eight other inmates also became ill, but they are re- covering.

Mr. E. R. Arlington, master of the institution, said that the din- ner on the previous Friday con- sisted of corned beef potatoes, and bread, and on Saturday of stew, the meat in which included 41b. of the corned beef. The label on the tin stated that the corned beef was from the Argentine and packed under Government inspec- tion, All but one of the 30 in-l mates who were taken ill had the corned beef dinner on Friday. They had used the same type of corned beef for three four years without complaint.

Dr. Alfred Turner, assistant medical officer of Fulham Hos- pital, said that an examination of Hill's stomach revealed the pre- sence of bacillus that infected meat.

Dr. Scott, Deputty Coroner:; Was, death due to diarrhoea con- sequent upon infection by this bacillus? The matter is still un- der investigation.

The man must have. got it through food?-That is not ab- solutely necessary.

The coroner said the jury could leave the investigation as to the source of infection to the Ministry of Health.

The jury returned a verdict of Death by Misadventure.

viscous film that forms on teath -- to a stubborn film one can feel by running one's tongue across the teeth and which ordinary brushing has not successfully combated.

For that reason, largely on dental ad vice, many are turning to a new way in tooth and gum care- way different in formula, action and effect from any pre- viously known a way embodied in the special film-removing. dentifrice called Pepsodent.

Now an effective film combatant For years dental science sought ways to fight film. Clear teeth and healthy gums come only when film is constantly com bated-removed every day from the teeth. Film was found to cling to teeth; in get into crevices and stay; to hold in contact with teeth food substances which, fer- mented and fostered the acids of decay. Film was found to be the basis of tartar. Germs by the millions breed in. it. And

they, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea and most gumi disorders.

Thus there was a universal call for an effective film-removing method. Ordinary: brushing was found ineffective. Now two effective combatants have been found, ap. proved by high dental authority and em bodied in a tooth paste called Pepsodent

Curdles and removes film Firms the Qism Pepsodent acts first to curdle the film Then it thoroughly removes the film in gentle safety to enamel.

At the same time, it acts to firm the gums-Pepsodent provides, for this pur- pose, the most recent dental findings in gum protection science knows today. Pep sodent also multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. And thus aids in neutralizing mouth acids as they form.

It multiplies the starch digestant of the saliva. Thus combats starch deposits which might gtherwise ferment and forma acids.
