LIGHT ON LIGHT.
Marshall of New York Tells How 10
Obtain Best Results.

Albert j. Marshall OF New York de-
livered a most instructive illustrated
lecture at the Y. NJ. c. A. auditorium
last evening, his theme being THE
Proper Use of Light and the Funda-
mental Principles OF Illuminating En-
cheering" There are two things TO
be consid-red, said Mr.. Marshall, in the
matter of light; namely, economy, and
the best kind OF light. The best light
is obtained from hidden and reflected
lights and for that reason economy is
often practised TO the detrlment OF the
best light effect The farther the
source of the light from the eye. the
better viii be the light which is pro-
duced. Eyes are too often weakened
by lights being placed too close. Fully
80 per cent. of weak eyes, said Mr..
Marshall are due to this cause. The
same care should be taken to protect
the eye in the matter of light that is
taken to properly display picture on
the wall. The speaker was in favor
OF electricity rather than gas in light
ing. IL the electric lights are properly
placed. But his present objection TO
electric lights is on account of the fl
aments and shades that are used In
connection with them causing n lack
OF uniformity that is injurious to the
optic nerves.

"RED" oBERe'S LUHID RIDE.
Thirteen Year Old Youngstor stays
With Frantic Team for II Blocks
And Stops His Horses.

Ogden no longer lays claim TO having
the only boy hero, for salt Lake came
to the fore this afternoon with simon
pure blown-in-the- bottle candidate for
the Carnegie medal IN the person OF
John oberg, age 10, residence 1873 south
Sixth West, He has through his act OF
sticking to a team OF frantic horses for
nearly II blocks risen to the dignity
OF John" for. heretofore, he has been
known as plain Red" Oberg.
Two days ago Red applied to f. w;
Wilson, who operates a grocery at 500
west Second South. for the Job OF de-
livery boy. Mr.. Wilson sized up the
youngster ana nearly concluded that he
was too small, but as boys are scarce
during school hours Red" was given a
trial.
This morning he was sent with the
wagon to deliver some goods on Thir-
teenth East. When he started TO come
home down South Temple the horses
TOOK fright and started to run. BY the
lln1e they struck the pavement on Tenth
East an automobilist had to throw open
the throttle to get out of the way.
Many boys would have jumped and
lett things to themselves. Not so Red"
lie wrapped the lines around each
wrist, yelled Whoa. in a shrill falsetto
and hung on for dear life.
AT the Eagle Gate he came near put-
ting the Hartman street car service
out of commission, to repeat the per-
torrance on the corner OF Main a few
seconds later, Irrespective of steering
me team skilfully around the Brigham
Young monument and nearly giving
some pedestrians on the other side
heart failure.
Then the horses tried to catch a train
at the Oregon Short Line depot. Red"
stu hanging on with his turquoise
plue eyes fairly popping finally pulled
up the horses in the middle of the net
work of tracks In the Oregon Short
Line yards much to the standardization
Oh the grade crossing man and the use
OF lurid language on the part of the
switching crew.
Although his arms We're stiff and
cramped with the long strain he deIiv-
cred the team without a buckle broken
at the west side grocery.
He was about TO make explana tions
regarding the shocking lather the
horses were in when Mr.. Wilson
stopped him by handing him IS and
telling him that he had a solid lob ali
right GA
Mr.. Wilson had been informed OF the
comet-like career of his wagon from
ABOUT every telephone along the route
and the burden of the refrain was

NEW PLAN TO SOLVE
LAND LEASING PROBLEM.
(speclal to the DNews.ol

Washington, y. c., Feb. 12.-The sem
ate committee on agriculture today
adopted an amendment to the agrIcul-
tural appropriation bill which win have
an important effect upon cattle grazing
on public lands I'm future. For years
past there has been great friction be-
tween the federal authorities and cattle
growers over so-called Illegal fencing
OF public lands by cattlemen and all
sorts of plans have been proposed TO
protect the interests of the United
States without Jeopardlzlng those of
the men who have invested fortunes In
cattle. The amendment agreed upon
today appears to accomplish this. In
brief II proposes 10 segregate from tha
public domain all these vast tracts of
non-arable lands In the Short grass
country" and to place them under the
control Of the chief forester, who shall
have authority To lease them TO COM
panies and individuals for grazing pur-
poses. II IL believed that this program
Will result IN solution OF the problem
which has caused so much trouble dur
ing the past 10 years.

LEGISLATIVE SlDELIGHTS.

Senator Seely has been gathering
iaurels from, Bill Nye'a joke book for
he yesterday broke up two very heat
ed climaxes in The senate debate on
Is; X. Smiths Galveston bills. once
when -. x. smith was telling of the
fine business men and the poor poll
ucians in Salt Lake, Seely interrupted
to ask II Salt Lake supported anT
politicians that We're good. b. X. had
10 plead ignorance of any. a little
later Seely commented on the remarks
OF b. y. TO the effect that Salt Lake
had TO board its fifteen councllrnen by
remarklng dryly that he favored the
change because 1t was cheaper TO board
three men than fifteen.
Senator Brinkerhoff missed a good
afternoon yesterday by being absent.
Brinkerhoff enjoys good speaking and
he listens more intently than any 9TH
er senator. In the lively debate yes
terday he would have had some real
true enjoyment, If he could only have
been there.
Miller has scored once again. Com
ing as he does from tho southland. his
gentle arguments on the Galveston bills
carried conviction to the out of town
senators. and dissipated any hope
of John Y, and Bullen TO organize an
Alfalfa movement ON the bills.
Mr.. Edgehill is back from Logan
with large trunk fun of Agricultural
college books. He expects TO gather
in the uniyersity's books today, and
turn them over TO an expert account

ter of Introducing reform bills. He

ADJUSTMENTS.

Thea7cr--olga Nethersole, the re-

r. o." territory. The vehicle in which
she came was Daudet's "sapho," as
dramatized by Clyde Fitch. II was not
the first time local theater-goers had
seen the play but it was the first time
they had seen the Fitch version; and
without any hesitation. or question OF
doubt 1t can be said that Miss Neither
sole's presentation Is decidedly the best
that has been given here to date.
As to the merit and mission Of the
so-ealled problem piay-if 1t has one.
the position OF the News" is well
known. We believe the world would be
better off II playwrights would turn
ahcir talents In other directions, man
ayers refuse to finance them. and great
artists, like Miss Nethersole, aspire 10
the Interpretation VI loftler and grander
themes But they do not do so, and APP
parently will not, In this get-money-
quick age. Playwright, manager and
artst-all are seemingly agreed on that
question and failing into the same pro-
cegsion is the public digging hard for
dollars, and parting willingly from
them, TO see the pruricnt. the unsavory
and tho disgusting. Meanwhile the on
slaughts of prudes and preachers, OF
critics callow and learned all go for
naught, The condition is hero. every
where, where the drama Is patronlzed.
and must be met I'm n sensible and
practical way. There are people who
believe as Puddin head Wilson says,

think the problem play. with It's pas
sions. intrlgues ana tragedies, serves a
useful purpose In hanging out the
ominous and fateful sign TO the frail
and the tempted. THE Wages of Sin Is

That is the view Miss Nethersole and
her fellow artists take Of "Sapho."
which be 1t said to their everlasting
credit was presented last night not
only with marked ability, but with as
little OF the down right Indecent as pos
sihle for the preservation of the lines
OF tho story. And Yet, now and then.
II cannot be denied that the bounds Of
improprlety We're DER stepped 10 the
chagrin Of the great audience. Notably
was this true IN the third act where
Miss Nethersole comes into the studio
OF the one man whom she has found
she can love with a holy passion and
where she lays bare every secret or her
heart and produces the letters Of her
amours with prohigate male compan-
ions. Just a little pruning NJ that point
would vastly improve the tone Of the
play. The suggestive element is so
strongly depicted there we can hardly
refrain from saying;
