WAR is BEING WAGED
AGAINST THRIPS PEST
State Board of Trade Doubles
Field Force to Prosecute
Investigation

The fight against the thrips pest,
which has wrought great havoc in the
fruit districts of California, is being
vigorously carried on by the state
board of trade. The field force has
been increased from two to four
S. w. Foster and F. NJ. Johnson oper-
ating in the Walnut creek district
and Dudley AIoulton and G. Il. Merrill
in Santa Clara county.
On account of the pernicious nature
of the thrips and the short period in
which it is possible to study 1t, the
state board of trade is endeavorinS to
secure through the California delega-
ton a liberal appropriation from con-
gress for the use of the bureau OF
entomology so that the number of
field experts may be increased.
Thrips makes its appearance in
February, completes its work of ruin
and Immediately disappears into the
ground returning with increased
vigor the next season. No effective
means of destroying the pest has yet
been discovered. but with a large
staff of experts to study its habits
during the short period of its life
above ground this would no doubt
soon be remedied.

ALCAzAR SECURES
DRAMA OF MYSTERY
1.-The House of a Thousand Cam
dies" Based on Meredith
Nich0Is0n's Novel
Theater Has Exclusive Right to
Present New York Success
in This City

Meredith Nicholson'S mystery story.
The House of a Thousand Candles"
IS quoted as one of this years "best
sellers, and if all the San Francisco
folk who have read il witness the
dramatized version the coming week
at the Alcazar the mana cement of
that playhouse will have no reason to
complain of Improbable attendance.
IL Is the kind of a play that appeals
to almost cary kind of taste. Any one
VINO enjoys the mystery of good de-
tectiye tale viii ENJOY it, for it con-
tain many effective moments. No
drama made from novel has been
translated to the stage with more abil-
ity or success. So immediate and pro-
nounced was it's hit in New York that
the Alcazar mana cement lost no time
in securing the exclusive right to pre-
sent it in San Francisco and Los An
geles.
The action of the piece takes place
at Glenarm House, Annandale, Ind,
during the late summer. This dwell
ing is known as 1.-The House of a
Thousand Candles" because of the
brillianey with which it is kept il
Illuminated by its eccentric owner and
occupant, old John Glenarm. He Sc
cretly departs, leaving the impression
that he is dead, so that he may learn
what sort of men are John Pickering,
the executor of his estate, and John
Glenarnl, his grandson and possible
heir; also, TO bring about a marriage
between young Glenarm and the alter
nate heir, Marian DevereauX. The
only person to whom his plans are
confided is Bates, his butler, and the
will he leaves behind him has clauses
and provisions as unusual and whimsi-
cal as the testator's fancy. Upon this
will turns the strange story. The COM
plications to which it gives rise are ex-
tremely ingenious, yet not improbable,
and when the real object of the old
mans departure has been accomplished
he abruptly returns to confound his
foes and reward those who remained
true in the face of temptation.
All the AlcaZar plays will be nicely
bestowed in this strong drama. Bert
ram Lytell is cast for young Glen
arm and Evelyn Vaughan will have
the role of Marian. The staging will
be elaborate.

which will present the play is re-

road. The costumes will be expensive

Miss Dorothy Turner, who heads the

Eyre. She is an actress of acknowl-
edged ability and standing. There will

night with Saturday afternoon per-
Torrance. The production will be on
a high plane Of excellence and will
inaugurate a new regime at the Nov

There will be balloon ascension this
Sunday afternoon at the Chutes, in adj

which is open all day, is exceedingly
popular and Is literally patronized.

TRIUMPH IN FIGHT
"The Lost Paradise" at Valencia
Theater Will Illustrate
Industrial Conflict

The last performances of ERA VIII
take place this afternoon and evening
at the Valencia theater. tomorrow
night The Lost Paradise an adoption
from the German of Ludwig F'uida, by
Henry C. de Mile, will receive an
elaborate production.
The story of "The Lost Paradise, .
though it was written in Germany more

and of the conflict increasingly waged
between capital and labor.

of the workingmen employed in the
great establishment. He has worked
himself up from the bottom OF the
ladder to the most responsible position
in the gift of his employer. All OF this
time he has nursed deep love for
Margaret Knowlton, daughter of the
millionaire mill owner, but when he
declares his passion, the girl rejects
him scornfully and tells him to seek a
mate in his lower station in life. He
is only a workingman, she says.
Warner discovers that Knowlton has
made his immense fortune from the
profits of an invention which he him.

millionaire is a thief, he destroys the
evidence to save Margaret the disgrace
which would follow on the exposure of
her fathers dishonesty. Meanwhile a
strike is declared in the mill and the
owner appeals to his superintendent to
persuade the men to return to their
benches. Warner refuses and reminds
Margaret that she has taught him his
place-that he is one of the men. He
declares he will remain with his friends
and fellow laborers and that he will
stay with them until her father is
willing to make terms with his en-
ployes which will guarantee them liv-
ing wages.
Knowlton finally surrenders to the
demands of the men and Margaret
learns the innate and true nobility of
the man for whom previously she had
expressed her great disdain.
The Valencia company should make
great success in the play. Robert
