Has Maclc Ten "Well, Volght, tho man ho made him, shows on the screen how Petey and his little family nre made every day with a magic pen. The cartoonist, in his white shirt sleeves, springs them up with liglitnihg speed on the movie screen every day this week at the Arcadia. The sweet young thing and her friend are lolling on the beach in one-piece well, you know! Ar.d Petey, with his familiar, half-chewed cignr. admires them with the eye of an artist. ' Along rolls Auntie Henrietta, with a shawl around her shoulders. It's a Terv large shnwl. It has to be, or It wouldn't fit Auntie Henrietta. "Fctey. do ymi think the police'll shasc girls off the beach because they are! wearing one-piece bathing sulta?" asks Hcnrli'l.a, Petey puffs at his cigar and doesn't think so. 'Oh, that's a relief," heaves auntie. "Thca I can throw off this horrid bawl." And she suits her action to tho word. Petey answers! The kindly Voigbt docs not suffer the audience to glimpse what Petey sees. Hut the audience is permitted to sec Tctcy's answer! Paper Tragedy Volght lights a cigarette and must smile l)imself'ovcr this little tragedy on paper.' Because why? Well, when Petey's probtems over whelm him In the "movies" or in the BvENftro Public IjEdof.ii, and his wife and nlrte Irritate him, Petey registers tbe.cmotlon like any other human being, but he doesn't feel It, because Friend (Petey, with all his droll humanity, is Just white paper and India ink after all. Tct he's more than that, too. Petey's everybody ! And that's why Artist Yolght and everybody else can smile at Petey. Ilecauso he Is Just paper and ink, and everjbody! Vofght gives folks the chance to see themselves as others see them even though they all haven't Auntie Hen riettas to look after, and they all aren't as handsome as Uncle Petey is and don't chew their cigars exactly bis way Picture Illustrating this article wilt be found on back page.) A little high-handed politics crops out in the sponsors' election campaign at Hog Island. At n meeting today n number of candidates for the primaries agreed to throw their votes over In support of Miss Ilcatrlce Minnick, primary can didate from Division No. i! wnjs. The candidates refused to disclose their names before the eleventh hour for fear an opposition might organize in the same manner and reduce the timber of candidates In the final elections to just two, and dissipate the augmented party strength of the Minnick faction. The statement given to newspaper men after the meeting reads as fol lows: "Owing to the strength displayed by Tlcatrice Minnick, the candidate of Division No. 2, in the primaries when she polled 2014 votes, the candidates in derided to support Miss Minnick at the general election on Wednesday. "Miss Minnick Is the logicnl candi date, ns the ship will be launched from Way No. 2. which is located In Di vision No. 2. This makes Miss Min nick look like the winner of the con test." Some Campaign! Hog Island is alive with ideas for getting all thirteen of the candidates elected as sponsor for the steamship Hog Island to be launched on Friday. "It will be a walkover." said one of the managers in the Kahle camp, where the campaign Is well laid and managed by an able committee. Home of the camps offer big induce ments, and others say It is not neces sary, for "Look at our candidate." "If Miss Archibald wins there will be a moonlight ride down the Delaware for the 1200 girls on the island, with 1200 young men along," is the offer of Jerry O'Leary, campaign manager for Miriam Archibold. Over In Division No. 4 cartoonists are at work. There will be 35,000 filers circulated about the Island telling Just whj' Marie K. Jacobs should be elected to the honor. "Let's raise Kane" Is the slogan for the Patience V, Kane camp, and a strong organization Is behind the slogan, while In Division No. 2 the. employes say 'they built the boat, and tbelr girl ought to christen it. Hut who built the boat is n big ques tion. Kach one of the thirteen divi sions can show sound reasons why the ship could not havo been built without them. Even the nurse, Minnie Green, caudidato from the Industrial relations division, Is responsible, for binding up fingers and keeping the men on the Job, and her division says "Let Minnie do It." The ambulance has been covered with posters In several languages. "Shlpjard Queen" Donated The steel, shop nnd engineering divi sion has placarded the Island with large posters giving the history of Irene Smith's work at the island and tacking on a little rhyme about "Irene, the shipyard queen, on the job In '17." Local Interest will be the strong pull for Alice flillooly, who travels around with her campaign manager to sec that the campaign is progressing as It should. "Let a Philadelphia girl do It," sh sajs. Several of the camps will use the personal method of solicitation. Division No. 1 with Cecelia Kelly and Division No. ,1 wltb Anna Carney will use this method and will throw in a few stump speeches to add zest to the contest. In the Lilian Light camp stump speeches will be used to "Light" up the island. "We're going to do everything that the political campaigners are doing In the city," is the large contract for which her managers arc booking them selves. Jane E. Mullins and Marie O'Don nell each have several managers and nn effective committee who arc counting on big results.

Are Aitierican men the comrades of their wives ? A RECENT English visitor to this country, writing -in the September number of Harper's Magazine, seems to doubt it. He says: "The Tired Buiinett Man ought to be careful lest he become too tired to enter into the interests of his wife and to give her the minimum of comradeship which all women demand."
