11 fJOTICB TO SUBSCKLBEP: PrompuS . k01?' r0ttr co or 1Ha TIMES as f fnStfy riiosf""1 and 1. trivia U aJvilTr, J , TCi !la Pon- on time, be prompt THE "SILLY SEASON" I June has progressed sufficiently to make timely the announcement of the opening of the annual Silly Season. Tke days are upon us when madness burgeons in the human brain just as the tomato plant waxes on the ground and when reason takes its leave of mankind at the same rate that the green shoot puts forth on the bough. It is the time when the gyroscope or whatever it is that maintains the balance of this planet goes just the least bit askew with the result that every normal man and woman becomes in some degree insane, the degree being determined by heredity, environment, education and inborn aptitude. One bit of evidence is the extraordinary interest which many city dwellers are taking in their back yards. When a man has been in a down-town office, or in a shop, all day long, separated from his family and all the things which make life dear, one would surely expect him, once he reached home, to tak up the role of a devoted pater familias immediately. But what dos he do? The chances are that he says a court "hello" to his wife and children, seizes a hoe and other implements of a vague and mysterious utility, and retires to the regions in the rear of the house, where he trafficks in sprouts and weeds and potato bugs and ants and radishes and beets. Also there is noticeable, on the part of most ordinarily sensible individuals, a queer desire to get into the water, not the water of the bathtub or the needle-spray, but that contained in rivers, lakes, and even oceans. It appears to be some sort of atavistic impulse, a call from some remote century when the average specimen of our godlike race had many of the physical and mental attributes of the modern mud-puppy. This proves that during the Silly Season humanity evolves upsidedown and tailend-to to the very borderland of invertebrate life. There is an interesting theory to the effect that the Silly Season is really not silly in the least but is the one time of all the year when man feels impelled to doff all the artifkialties and conventional burdens of present-day existence and become,! or a space, precisely as he was when God wrought him in His own image. Those who would uphold this theory will tell you that asphalt, office-buildings, gasoline, vapor and poor ventilation are not items in the tally of humanity's blessings and that once every year dimly realizes this and manifests this realization by his peculiar conduct.

If any American host were guilty of stationing a tailor in his hall to look over the clothing of his guests he would at once be stamped as a boor and a snob. And were it not for the fact that the king is more or less the victim of circumstances and is compelled to follow tradition there would seem to be no reason why the appellations should be withheld from him. Contrast this behavior this willingness to humiliate guests of some little variation in their dress from the prescribed standard with the attitude of the great American of whom it is told that when one of his guests at a banquet, an untutored man, drank the water in his finger bowl, the great' man, to spare the guest humiliation that would have been his if he had perceived his mistake, drank from his finger bowl, also.

MOVIE UNDESIRABLES. The Motion Picture Theater Owners of America deserve special commendation for their resolution barring pictures that exploit persons whose sole or principal title to stardom is notoriety and the flaunting of brazen disregard of the decencies of life. The morbid attractions of salacious reputations has been a box office asset with managers, being human also, have found it difficult sometimes to ignore; but there is reaction all around; which is resulting in a decidedly better understanding between those who produce the amusements for the public and amusement patrons. It has come to a question of meeting approval of underlying public sentiment instead of catering to the clientele which is lured by whatever has some element of lioentiousness, either with respect to the thing prsented or the person presenting it. The moving picture industry is correct in its basic arguments against censorship; tnd there will be no real cases for agitating that question if the producers and theater owners simply endeavor to meet the demands of decency and common sense. The public has been nauseated by the undue prominence givn to the affairs and lives of certain types with which civilization is afflicted; and the self-respecting men and women of the stage and the screen are demanding protection of themselves against profligates and adventuresses. Altogether, matters are moving in a very salutary manner on all sides. .

ROYAL VULGARITY. In hte cabled description of the formal reception held by King .George and Queen Mary at Buckingham palace appears this : "The King's tailor, carrying, his small sewing kit and scissors, was stationed on the staircase leading to the ballroom so that every guest could be scrutinized

just before going into the royal presence. Those f

who had overlooked some minor detail of the strict ceremonial dress were taken aside and the necessary alterations made so that they would not be compelled to forego presentation to the king and queen."

TITLES IN DISFAVOR The pendulum of democracy seems to be swinging in both directions at once in the two English-speaking nations. American interest and respect for titular position seems to be growing sharper, while British concern apparently is declining. The presentation of more than a score of Yankees at the English court a few days ago forms a contrast to histflity expressed in Australia and South Africa against the bestowal of titles upon citizens of the dominions. During the war Canada sent a rather pointed intimation to London that the dominion wanted no more honorary titles and demanded that all existing titles in Canada cease with the death of their present warers. Instead of taking the hint th government persisted in the traditional practice, which, has resulted in virulent trouble in South Africa and Australia. The hostility is accentuated by the fact that the government not alone placed tjtles upon dominion citizens against openly expressed wishes, but seems to have gone to some pains to select just thos citizens the dominions consider quite unsuitable for the treatment.
