COUNTRY GIRL
VERY GIFTED
BEAUTIFUL MUSICAL COMEDY
MAKES RATTLING HIT
In Almost Every Respect II Is De-
llqht; In Company, Music and
songs-Far Away from
Usual Drivel

At last Los Angeles gets a real musi-
cal show, one that is worthy, clean,
bright and distinctive. 1t is "A Coun-
trv Girl" given at the Mason last
night by the Augustin DAILY company,
an organization fully entitled to wear
that great name. The comedy Is really
very high class. smart distinctively
aristocratic in atmosphere, full of ex-
cellent melodies and with a plot that
while tenuous is yet sufficient to carry
the story along to a happy conclusion.
There is a delightful absence of the
drivel that goes to make UP the usual
Cohenesque show; the comic songs are
really meaningful of wit, the lyrics are
lifting and possess merit. and the dia-
logue is clean cut and honest. Not a
hint of smut or double entendre is per-
mitted; there are no tights, all the
skirts are of decent length, and the
refinement and exclusive air that
hedges about play and players makes
for different feeling from that which
usually obsesses one after session of
the ordinary American-made singing
show. A pitifully small audience saw
this chic and happy affair; those who
missed 1t will do we'll to heed a warn
ing voice and go while the chance at
fords. For the DAILY company has
never been here before, but Los An
geles wants it to come again.
AS to the personnel of the company
the usual DAILY rule applies; there is
no star system, each is selected for his
or her particular ability in a special
role The singers. while not wonderful,
arel the chorus is large and
tuneful, besides possessing personal at
fractions and gowns of great beauty.
Perhaps highest individual honors
should go to Sam Collins. the mimi
table comedian; Hallen Mostyn, the
Rajab of Bhong; Adam Dockray as
Mummary, and Melville Stewart as
Godfrey, though Stewart sings off key
a good deal. The women of more than
ordinary merit are Genevieve Finlay
as the princess, a delight; Mary Quive
as Marjorie, and Laura Butler as Nan.
Viola Kellogg is hardly fitted for the
part of Sophie, as it really requires a
small soubrette. but she does pretty
well in it. Scenically and in costuming
the show is on a high plane, and in a
word is what Los Angeles has been
wishing for this long time-a musical
play of refinement, genuine worth and
pleasing quality.

LONG BEACH, April 22.-One wo-
man was killed and another severely
injured this afternoon by accidents on
the Pacific Electric system.
The accidents occurred only few
moments apart, one in the exereme
eastern part of town and the other at
Second street and American avenue.
Both women were hastily removed to
the Long Beach hospital. One, a very
elderly woman lived an hour and a
half; the others condition is said to
be not necessarily dangerous, although
complications may develop
Mrs. Anna Limbrigger, SO years old
the mother of Mrs. e. S. Gunby, left
their home, 1909 East Ocean avenue,
about o'clock. Fifteen minutes later
she stopped at Railroad street and
Hermosa avenue to wait until a west
bound Redondo car had passed. AS
soon as it passed she walked across
the tracks directly in front of an east
| bound Redondo car.
Motorman Larson used bell and whis-
tie and endeavored to bring the car Ia
sudden stop in time TO avoid strik-
| Ing her, but was unable to do so. The
car struck the aged woman with con-
| siderable force. Her skull was frac-
tured, the fracture extending down into
her nose and eye. DR.. j. w. Wood and
DIR. H. f. Scudder were hurriedly
called, and at the hospital gave her
every possible attention. Her injury
was fatal and she died about o'clock
Mrs Lucia j. Martin, a widow liv-
! ing at 243 Elm avenue, stepped from
a moving south bound interurban car
at Second street and American avenue
about o'clock this afternoon and was
painfully hurt. She fell upon her head
and received bad cut on her left
cheek. There was also found a de-
preston in the external table of the
skull and her left shoulder was bruised
severely.
She was in a dazed condition at the
hospital late this evening and unable
to tell of her accident She Is said to
have been laughing and talking with
other passengers in the rear end of the
car just before IL happened and it is
supposed that she accidentally stepped
from the car before it had come to a
stop at Second street, where she would
naturally alight to go to her home.
Mrs. Martin is about so years old.

Why BARRIERS Get Tired

NF course, it will be said that it is because
~ they walk long distance around their
chairs. Perhaps that helps to make them
tired; but have you ever counted the number
of little strokes barber makes when he is
shaving your If not. the next time you 60
into shop to get shaved do so. You will
have to pay the closest attention, as when
the barber is finishing up he takes so many
short strokes with his razor and takes them so
rapidly that you will have difficulty in getting
your mind to act quickly enough to count
them.
However, the average barber makes from
four to seven hundred strokes for each shave.
Suppose that barber shaves twenty people
in a day. At that rate, allowing five hundred
and fifty strokes as an average number, bar
Der would make eleven thousand distinct vol
urtary strokes with his right hand in days
work
The most curious thing about it is that not
one barber in hundred has any idea of the
amount of physical effort expended in shaving
man. Of course, they know they get tired,
and when you ask them why they nearly al
ways answer that they have to walk SO far
about their chairs.
Of the ten BARRIERS the writer asked about the
number of strokes they made in shaving a man,
not one guessed within two hundred strokes
enough. The nearest estimate was made by
an English barber, who set it at three hundred.
The others, with the exception of one, guessed
from seventy-fve to two hundred and fifty.
The last man asked was German. How
many strokes do you make in shaving man?"
Just enough" was his reply.

Still More Prosperity Coming

THE systematic movement now on foot ade-
L quately to improve the Mississippi Valleys
vast system of waterways will add immensely
to the Valleys wealth, prosperity, prestige,
and political influence The people of the
Great Valley are Just waking up to the fact
that God. in His infinite wisdom and beneti-
cence, never vouchsafed to any other people
such magnificent system of waterways as He
has gwen to them, and that no people ever SO
signally failed to improve them for all they
were worth. In his great speech before the
St. Louis river and harbor convention Henry
T. Rainey of Illinois predicted that men would
before long behold the amazing spectacle of
an American battle ship going from the Gulf
to Chicago by way of the Mississippi River,
the Illinois River, and the Chicago Drainage
Canal. He also confidently predicted nine feet
of water from Pittsburgh to Cairo, nine feet
on the upper Mississippi, and fourteen Ieet
from St Louis to the Gulf Add to these the
improvement of the Missouri and other great
rivers, together with the building of the Lake
Erie & Pittsburgh Canal, and there will come
such an impetus to commerce in the Missls
sippi Valley and such a cheapening of freight
rates as will multiply both the population and
new century is old.
From the earliest settlements west of the
Alleghenies the Mississippi River has been a
potent factor in our affairs. The invincible
determination of the western frontiersmen to
have free water access to the Gulf was what
induced Thomas Jefferson to make the Louisi
ana Purchase, the most stupendous transac-
ton in real estate suggested on earth since the
devil took the Savior to the top of high noun
tain and offered Him the dominion of the world
to fall down and worship him. Even at this
late day it makes patriots blood run faster
to read Jetfersons sentence, The Mississippi
must flow unvexed and unfettered to the sea"
1t was the determination of the people of the
upper Valley that the lower Mississippi should
not be owned by another nation, which con-
cOli1ate6 them in favor Of the Union far
the Great River, like the Union should forever
remain one and indivisibe.
In the centuries yet to be America will dom
mate the world, and the Mississippi Valley will
dominate America.

succeeded by reason of the death of his chief,
was a non-Valley man.
1t is also apropos to state that while in the
first thirty-six years two New Englanders-the
Adamses, father and son-were elected for one
term each, in the last eighty-four years only
one New Highlander Franklin Pierce, was
elected, and he for only one term; while only
one other, James Gillespie Blaine, was nom
mated. No New Englander has been elected
since 1882; and at the present writing New
England has no favorite son who seems to have
any reasonable prospect of reaching that high
station; notwithstanding the fact that Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts re-
ceives sporadic mention in that connection,
and that a wee bit of presidential boomlet
was started for Senator Winthrop Murray
Crane, also of Massach dsetts, by Congre
gational minister at preachers meeting dur
ing the Christmas festivities. 1t is safe to
say that neither of these eminent statesmen
lies Awake nights inducing insomnia by poster

tional convention or his votes in the Electoral
College. From the foregoing figures it is easy
to see that the influence of the Valley in elect
ing Presidents increases quadrennially.
