The Senate this week passed the
Pension Appropriation bill carrying
with it $145,000,000. One of the in
teresting features of the bill as it was
finally passed was that it was ante
dated to take in the service pension
legislation of Feb. 7th from the timo
that law was passed. Senator Scott
of West Virginia was the father Of
the Service Pension Bill. He has
been working on it for the past six
years, according to his own state
ment, and considers it one of his no.
table achievements in the Senate
But there is another bill in the same
line for which Senator Scott is work.
ing that has more general sentimental
interest attached to it than even the
Service Pension Bill. 1t is the bill to
pension Army nurses who served dur
ing the war. This measure is on the
point of being reported out of COM
mittee and ought to reach vote dur
ing the coming week. From the
standpoint OF numbers affected, it is
not an important bill. There are a
little less than 400 of the war time
nurses still alive 80 far as statistics
show. OF these over 10 per cent. are
more than 80 years old. There is not
one on the list so far as known un-
der sixty. Some of them are In COM
Portable circumstances and would not
want the pension except as mark of
honor, but there are only too many
to whom even the little money the
pension represents would come as a
Godsend There has meyer been any
pension legislation IN favor of these
old ladies, and there is not man in
either house of Congress who would
vote against the bill once it got out of
committee. In fact if it came to it,
there are probably few men on the
pension list who would not willingly
give up pro rata of there pension
money if it were necessary to pay
these kindly old women for the price
less service they rendered at time
when woman's care in the field hos
pitals was thing that could be had
for loye but not for money. However,
it will not be necessary for any of the
veterans to contribute toward the
payment of the bill. There is money
enough in the federal treasury to de-
fray it and the chances are that be-
fore the session closes, tardy justice
will haye been done to the too few
survivors of the heroic nurses bri-
gade.

"THE WIZARD OE OF"


E'The Wizard of or the big Number
One production with Geo. Stone as the
Scarecrow which comes to the Lyceum
theatre on Sunday afternoon for all
week seems to be increasing its hold
on the theatregoing public, if that
were possible, and there is little won
der that this is so, since THE Wizard
of Or" possesses so many features to
render it attractive that the same peo-
pie are seen in the audience time and
time again. The Scarecrow and the
Tin Woodman are two characterize
tions that are alone sufficient to make
"The Wizard of Or" success, and it
must seem that their places would. in
deed be hard to fill in the hearts of
other unique characters worthy of
mention. The Cowardly Lion, and
Imogen, the Cow, should not be pass
ed over, and the two gentleman who
play these parts accomplish wonders
in "laugh-getting' and this too, with
out speaking word. 1t is wise to
come early to the theatre during the
engagement of "the Wizard" as the
curtain goes up at 8 O'Clock, and the
cyclone scene, one of the features of
the performance is finished before s :15
Weekday matinees are on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday.
BURT'S THEATRE.
Those who have read the thrilling
story of New York Madison Square
Roof Garden homicide and the cir
cumstances which led to the tragedy,
will now be able to see the whole
drama enacted by Mittenthal
Brothers company next Thursday af-
ternoon at Burts to close the week.
The play is written by Hal Reid, and
is entitled ga Milllonaire's Revenge"
All the famous scenes have been
painted from photographs of the var.
ious places of interest and company
of twenty-five people selected for fig
ure and temperament to portray the
roles of the principles in the affair.
This play shows the famous Thaw
case in every detail.
1.-THE Burglars Daughter" which
Vance and Sullivan company will pre-
sent at Burt's theatre on Sunday af-
ternoon for half week tells a story
of modern New York life. The leading
character of the play "Meg of Null
berry Bend" is an ignorant and neg
lected little waif who is, at the death
of her mother thrown out inIthe streets
to shift for herself. Meg in her life
long association with thieves and out
casts has retained her sweetness and
purity but is a sadly ignorant and
rather tough little character. She
finds'refuge in the home of wealthy
clergyman who tries to help her and
she, touched by his kindness and gen.
tie manner tries her best to gain re-
finement. On Thursday matinee,
"Thorns and Orange Blossoms" is the
big attraction.

Toledo Theatres
LYCEUM.

That amusing and satirical mixture
of theatrical affairs with scenes and
traditions of both ancient and modern
Greece labeled fetchingly the "Show
Girl" comes to the Lyceum Thursday
afternoon to close the week. There is
a cast of principals that equal the best
in the theatrical world, headed by
chorus pa tfUns of Stunning in shoW girls and
nimble dancers, scenery that is gor-
geous in the extreme, and dearth of
music that will tickel the popular
fancy. 1t is one of b. G.. Whitney's
best efforts in the musical comedy line.

Ice Cream
Frost IS
Coming Now

A new frost, the ice cream frost. -
may soon be handed out to the unsus-
pecting public.
This talk about raising the price Of
ice in summer Is nothing TO what will
break loose when the people hear that
the ice cream dealers are about TO raise
the price Of Ice cream in winter. It's
CROUCH to give additional shivers 10
those who must have the luxury every
day.
The ladies and gentlemen who arrange
for banquets will have to add bigger
sums for the lee cream. Even the T
street sport" who takes his girl 10 the
drug store for an ice crea n soda may
be hit in the face with the announce
ment that the dellcacy has jumped to a
higher notch in the Price list.
Why is it. and what Is II al! about?
1t will happen, IL it does happen, be-
cause the milk dealers have made the
threat that November they will boost
the price Of milk cents a gallon. A
prominent ice cream dealer said today:
IT'S the only thing we can do. Cream
viii be il cents more n gallon. We win
have to protect ourselves. We have not
vet decided TO raise the price Of Ice
cream, but It viii be a necessity when
the dealers raise their rates"
There has also been some talk Of
raising the price Of bread. but this has
not materiaIized in anything definite.
If it keeps up" said a housekeeper to-
day, Wen soon have to live on ind!ges-
