Bag and Box Tricks.

At the Columbia Theater last night a
very large audience assembled to see Maui
rice Joyce, the well-known physical cul-
ture expert, perform feats similar to those
in which Houdini recently attracted much
attention. Mr.. Joyce liberated himself
from a paper bag, which had been laced
around the edges and sealed, leaving the
bag intact, and also came out of a pack
ing box, which had previously been, to all
appearances, securely fastened. The lat
ter portion of the program was devoted to
the physical culture demonstrations and
lier in the evening. 1t is not claimed that
the exact method Of Houdni Is followed
in these exhibitions, but the inference is
that the means employed are very similar,
If not identical.

A report from Rome to the effect that
Mgr. Farley, archbishop of New York, is
not to be made a cardinal at the next
consistory, is making the rounds of local
ecclesiastical circles. The report grows
from the information current for several
days that Mgr. Farley would be given the
red hat. In explanation. 1t was stated in
the report from Rome, that while the arch
bishop OF New York Is especially liked
by the pope. Archbishop O'Connell of Bos-
ton or Archbishop Quigley of Chicago
would be elevated to cardinalship before
him. 1t is generally believed, however,
that no cardinal will be created for the
Atlantic coast. or even for any other part
of America, during the life time of Card
inal Gibbons.
Upon inquiry at the Catholic university
today 1t was stated that no official infor-
nation had been received on the subject
of another American cardinal.

The American steamship George Farwell,
which is lying on the beach only a few hun
dred yards from the life-saving station at
Cape Henry. Va. will prove a total loss. as
1t Is reported that the seams In the hull of

of Norfolk which have been lying near the
stranded steamer ever since she went
ashore, a week or more ago. endeavorinK to
float her, have given up the job and are de-
voting themselves to saving the cargo Of
about 100000 feet of cypress lumber, with
which the ship is loaded. About 400 600
feet of the lumber has been brought ashore
and piled high on the beach, and 1t Is ex-
pected that the remainder of the cargo will

CHANGE SUGGESTED.
Lewis jackson Wants House Numbers
Placed on Door Steps.

RACED on OOOr steps.
The adoption Of a regulation which would
require the uniform placing of house num-
bers on the front steps has been suggested
to the Commissioners. This proposition was
made by Lewis jackson of 1927 o street
northwest. He is of the opinion that the
present method Of placing the numbers on
houses is irregular, and in many instances
the numbers are difficult to see or read. and
that placing them on the front steps would
prove more satisfactory. This plan, he
says, has been adopted by other large
cities
Snowden Ashford. the District inspector Of
buildings, to whom this proposed change in
the numbering Of houses was referred, stat
ed that 1t Is not necessary to promulgate q
regulation for the location of house num-
bers. as 1t is only natural that the occupant
or owner Of a house will place the number
to the best advantage. He said II the Com
quiring uniform numbering he would sug-
gest that 1t provide for the numbers to be
placed upon the glass transoms over the
front door or on the glass panels of the
door, where the numbers could be seen to
best advantage. especially at night. He
stated that there is objection to placing the
numbers on the front steps, as suggested
by Mr.. Jackson, for the reason that they
are not so readily changed, and as long as
the width of buildings vary from IL to 80
feet, 1t would be impossible to assign per-
mament numbers until the city Is more
thoroughly built UP. He is also of the
opinion that 1t would be much more difficult
to read the house numbers If they were
placed on the front steps. There are few
so arranged now in the District and, he
states, his opinion is based upon actual
knowledge and not imagination.
