NE MUST BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE DRAMATISTs
Dealers Sell bsen Actors Are Studying His Works and tn
Clerks in Department Stores Seem to Have Been
Affected by the Prevailing Fad
BY the chatterer

That Ibsen has taken a serious stand
with Los Angeles play patrons is being
demonstrated at every Ibsen matinee.
Society folk are at the present moment
agog over Ibsen; studying Ibsen with
a new interest.
Book dealers throughout the city sell
three Ibsen books to one of any other
author, not excepting the lighter litera-
ture. To be in the inner circle one
must be an Ibsen student. Playfolk
are devoting hitherto idle moments to
this absorbing occupation. Ibsen is
everywhere. Go to the big department
stores and you will find every shop girl
talking about 'isn't Ibsen grand?"
Your shoe dealer will discuss Ibsen
with you at the least provocation. Your
dressmaker between "a perfect dream"
and Just suits your peculiarly beauti-
full figure" will ask you if you have
been to Ibsen.
Your Cigar dealer will tell you that
he will meet you at the ball game be-
cause his wife will spend the afternoon
with Ibsen.
This Ibsen outbreak is not the result
of one day or a week or a month. 1t
is almost six years ago since Oliver
Morosco gave to Los Angeles it's first
Ibsen performance. Such time he did
have of it, too. The well beloved Mary
Van Buren, had been studying Nora in
"a Dolls House for almost two weeks
but on the day Of the performance
broke down under the nervous strain
and the play had to be postponed. A
crowded house was tuprned away and

THE PARCELS POST

The movement for parcels post system Is growing
steadily And this despite the efforts Of the senator from
New York who considers II quite proper leeslae
the question while at the head Of company
the parcels post natural enemy. Pa and his associates
including the odorferous DePhew representing the
York Central railroad have thwarted the movement time
and again. but II s too much of necessity always to be
obsructed by these privatenerest servtors and the
demand for its installation grows all the while.
And why shouldn't there be parcels post? No pri
vate corporation has any but tolerated right TO
opolze function Of government None is allowed to
deliver letters why, then should exception be made
in the Of packages7 These handled through
the mails now, when they are below certain weight;
why arbitrarily limit them hus7 II they be carried
proitaby when under four pounds-and they are-cer-
tainly increased bulk and commensuraely increased
charges will solve the problem
Other nations, notably England have long made the
parcels post part Of their posofhce system. No detr
mental effects have followed And there is
son to expect different results in the United States
vice
The strongest argument in its favor however Is made
by the express companies themselves who naturally
it's bitterest enemies There instances in plenty
where they used the present limited service to
tend their facilities, sending by mail parcels
cepted by them for express delivery at extortonate rates
thus clearing nice profit for themselves in where
they could not handled the business otherwise Such
instances prove that the postoce system now is
superior to express service at less expense Surely,
this is true for small packages would be equally for
larger ones.
The only reason we have not had parcels post long
ago is because the railroad expressowned senators
stand fast by their It is time this ring were
broken up and the serving the people

BOND THE SPEED MANIAC

leave behind Chicago has forward with a
method for curbing these criminals He would bond
every autost in the of $40 O0O the legal of
human fe that when he killed man, the slams de-
pendents could at least in the way of
damages He would also have all autoists licensed after
they had passed rigid examination their capabi-

The suggestion is good Touch man through

does duty for heart in speed maniac-han in any other
way fool autoist knows that opposite the record of
the license number of his machine is good and sufficient
bond $4,000 recoverable by those damaged through
his reckessness he will be much likely to handle
his machine with due regard for the laws made and
provided.
Police supervision useless and peadings and
threats alike laughed at by these hends more
drastic way must be sought to curb them. This one
might fill the bill.
"Shall pedestrians and others take to the air for
safety shall the autos be resrained writes this man.
"It is conclusvey demonstrated that laws are not
effective in controlling the of automobiles that
the law breakers largely of that class who call them
selves respectable Professional and business men and
of all classes who able to buy to rent
machine are included in the daily list of awbreakers"
If men, who well know they violate the laws and
p lives and limbs in jeopardy time they go upon
