There were many who were openly scoffers, asking jocularly "Wonder when the Crime will start printing on yellow paper?" but when night came with all the terrors of darkness, these same ones, anxiously tested the strength of their rope fire-escapes.

The Negro rage and the grass-skirt scare are already moribund. Spain and the clatter of castanets is gone. Covered with dust are the crinoline, the harem skirt, Scotch kilts. The stage of the American revue is rapidly approaching the end of the world. Without other worlds to conquer, Russia, Egypt and the influence of dusky Florence Mills must inevitably...
