At THE THEATERS
Vaudeville at the Phillips.

This afternoon new program in
vaudeville will be started at the New
Phillips to continue through the week,
with the usual twelve performances.
Appearances indicate that the Offering
will be one of much merit and that
will secure for the house a continual
ton of the liberal patronage that has
been extended. Manager Murray is
counting on Wills and Barron, who
put on sketch entitled "Hooligan as
the Insurance Agent" to prove an es-
pecially bright spot, but that is not
taken to indicate that the other per-
formers will not do their full share
toward the entertainment There
will be pleasing variety in the bill,
which includes a piano overture, an
irish sketch, humorous dialogues,
coon songs, illustrated songs, motion
pictures, comedy sketches and comedy
singing and dancing. So far there
has been little extremely warm wealth
er, but its approach will not keep
down attendance at the New Phillips
os the house has been provided with
an abundance of electric fans and is
kept cool and well ventilated. The
full program for the week is announc-
ed elsewhere in a display advertise

learned that ire may add to bodily
comfort, and when the flames swept
through forest and overlook a deer
and baked it he learned that fire might
be used to improve the quality of his
food. The hint was not lost. He took
a burning torch to his cave or hut and
kindled him fire on his floor of earth
His dwelling filed with smoke, but he
could endure the discomfort for the
sake of the fires warmth and for the
sake of the toothsomeness of the cook
ed meats. After a time a hole was
made in the roof OF the hut, and
through this hole the smoke passed out.
Here was the first stove. The primi-
tive stove was the entire house, the
floor was the fireplace and the hole In
the roof was the chimney. The word

They were querying what they could

the meeting. Seemingly the students

Dared race, the big event of the day,
was won by the same consummate oars
manship and the same Courtney tactics
that have brought so many of the up
State crews first across the finish line
until Cornell triumphs are taken quite
as a matter of course. The crew started
evenly with slow, powerful strokes, and
kept up the stroke without skip or fall
terlng until the finish line was passed
and all the other crews had been liter
ally rowed out.
Storms had been brewing and break

But the storm lulled at a quarter of
