At this juncture Mort" Singer. one
OF the proprietors of the LaSalle,
stepped into the breach. Mort" has
had considerable experience in hand

one time he even succeeded In steer

away from the object of the jurors

Singer took the agent back on the
stage. 1T want you to see Miss Gold
smith with her makeup off," he said
You won't have any doubts then that
she Is over legal age"
Meantime an usher had been sent
posthaste to the prima donna's dress
ing room with request that she don
an old woman's makeup that would
stand close scrutiny. Mort wasn't TAX
ing any chances.
When he and the agent arrived later
they found a prima donna seemingly
in the sere and yellow, who was calm
ly crocheting a pair of bedroom slip

The agent was convinced. AS he
backed out of the room he remarked
Madam, permit me to say that you
are the youngest old woman have

TALKS ON NIETzSCHE
AND THE SUPERMAN
WRITER BELIEVES WEAKNESS
THE ONLY CRIME
Rev. {. A. CantrelI Portrays PhIIoso-
ply Of Noted German and His
Criticism on Religion and
Socialism

Rev. Edward Adams Cantrell deliv-
cred the second of his afternoon lee
lures at Blanchard hall yesterday, his
perman." He said in part:
"Nietzche stands for the elemental
man. There are two ideals before the
world-the one the ideal OF self-realiza-
ton. the other that of self-sacrifice.
The self-abasement OF the ascetic comes
from world WEAKNESS. racial fatigue
When the ironies of life burn them
selves in upon q man he seeks to escape
from the whole game.
''Nietzsche's criticism OF the Chris
tian religion is that 1t is a living denia
of life. Under 1t life is degraded, de-
| based. We are represented by 1t as be
| ing conceived in sin and born in in
| EQUITY. The attempt is to get ava.
from life, to crush the instincts.
"These instincts, as biology teaches
u.s. are the instinct for life, the in.
stinct for food, the instinct for sex and
the instinct for self-activity.
THE religionist, according to Metz
sche, seeks to crush these instincts.
Instead of life he practises self-sacri-
fee; instead of sex relations celibacy.
Instead of food he tells you to go hum
CRY; to fast and pray. Instead of self
activity, expressing itself in the play
and creation of Industrial life, you
have the ascetics voluntary poverty,
his contempt of richtes, his interpreter
ton of pleasure as being vicious.
"Niezsche would have us accept life
which means, of course, the instincts
and the natural, healthy. normal ex-
preston of the same--as having more
wisdom than is to be found in all the
traditional lore of the world. His ideal
is strength; the will to be and the will
to have power. With him weakness Is
the only crime.
1.-THE slave is q slave because he has
not the strength for mastery, and as
long as he is satisfied to be slave he
ought to be a slave. The ultimate Is
the superman; the strong, vigorous, ele-
mental, masterful man.
''Nietzsches criticism of Socialism is
the strongest that has been made as
yet. Socialism, he says. is the, ex-
preston of the herd instinct. His pet
diversions were Christianity, woman and
Socialism, and his ground for these
diversions was that all three were weak.
eff, however," said the speaker, IT
interpret the labor movement correctly,
it means that the workers also have a
will to be; a will to power. Rising
from age-long slavery. conscious at last
of their strength and power, they too
are declaring to the world that they
propose to live"

QUARTET IS CANNED
FOR CANNED MUSIC
TALKING MACHINE TAKES
SINGERS PLACE
Manager 5Iackwood VIII Try Novel
Experiment In Current PRODUCE
ton Of "The Pit" at the
Auditorium

Never was the ingenuity of a stage
director put to a greater test than the
problem that confronted Director VIII
liam c. Mason of the Lewis s. Stone
company when he came to figure out
the opening of the first act of 1.-THE
Pit" The script called for the presence
on the stage of g quartet from "Rigo-
letto" in such q manner as to give the
impression to the audience that per-
Torrance of grand opera was In prog
ress on the stage OF the Chicago audi
torium.
Singers a-plenty responded to the call
for help, but when it came to Ques-
ton Of their ability to sing the famous
quartet without slipping in few
barber shop chords or lapsing into
a bar or two OF BE Good to Me, Kid
that present favorite song of the popu-
lace, Mason realized that he was up
against hard proposition.
The Marquis Ellis quartet was given
trial and while they were all right
in their own sphere in 1.-THE College
Widow" when 1t came to Stimulating a
performance of grand opera they were
found wanting. Fully a score Of the
best known singers of the city were
tried and finally quartet was secured
that could interpret the music to Mas
sons satisfaction.
Then Manager Blackwood was called
IN ana the singers INFORMED MIN tnat
they could not afford to provide the
music for less than $500 for the week.
Inasmuch as the "Rigoletto' number &C.
cupied only a moment or so of the
first act, this charge was wholly out of
the question and for a brief period
Mason had seriously considered the
advisability OF cutting out the music
altogether.
Charles Ruggles, ST., who represents
Sherman, Clay & Co., the Pacific coast
distributors of the Victor talking ma
chine records, happened in the theater
at the time to engage some tickets and
he quickly came to the rescue of the
worried manager and stage director by
Offering to send over one of his big
Auxeophones with the "Rigoletto'' rec
ords, sung by Caruso, Sembrich, Scotti
and Gadsky. The big machine was
given trial and for the time being the
actors of the Stone company gave up
all thoughts of rehealsals while they
enjoyed the remarkable Victor canned
music.
Tonight's audience at the Auditorium
win be treated to q rendition of the
"Rigoletto" quartet that will be hard
to distinguish from the real article
and Director Mason will enjoy the
distinction of being the first stage
manager in this country to make use
of a talking machine for such pur-
poses.

FAN PALM INDUSTRY
STARTED BY WOMAN
LOCAL VARIETIES ADAPTED
TO MANY USES
Experience Acquired In Florida to 30
Utilized In Encouragement Of
Home Work as Prefer
able to Factory

To make fan palms profitable to their
manufacturing hats and numerous ar
ticles. Of domestic use is a new indus
try which Mrs. c.. l.. Sterling is en-
deavoring to establish In Los Angeles.
Mrs. Sterling came here from Florida,
where she was engaged In the manu-
facture OF articles from palm fiber, and
she has spent several months in study
ing the varieties which thrive in this
section.
1.-THE common fan palm, the f1lamen-
tosa species,' she says, may be util-
lied to make q wide variety OF articles
for use or adornment. BY putting the
fiber through a bleaching and color
ing process the most beautiful hats for
women may be woven. Palmer hats
may be made for men and boys. A
great number of household articles
baskets, bags, fans. house slippers, pic
ture frames, fly brushes, flowers,
plumes, tassels, lace work-are feas-
ible, as well as the artistic application
Of the many weaves in Grapes, lambre-
quins. table covers. suit cases-the list,
in fact, might be carried out almost
indefinitely.
This is not entirely new industry,
although 1t is, of course, peculiar to
the peoples Of southern climates be-
tween the parallel of 80 degrees and
the equator. Native populations have
carried this on as far back as history
goes. In the United States the indus
try was first taken up in florida at the
time of the Civil War, when necessity
drove the citizens to the development
of natural resources. There the pail
metto has been largely used because
1t was always close at hand, and is
very easily bleached.
1.-THE exercise Of ingenuity and taste
grew with the industry, developing 1t
into an art. In palm weaving the ar
tistic sense has a wide scope. and 1t
is surprising how many beautiful
things may be manufactured. Extreme
ly dainty creations in women's head
gear have been exhibited at EXPOSE
lions, being made from the palm fiber.
and even floor mats and lamp shades
are susceptible of beautiful effects"
The use of palm fiber extends even
to the manufacture of mattresses,
which are said to be 1uffier and clean
er than the highest priced products OF
horsehatr.
Mrs. Sterling has planned the estab-
Iishment of an institute to teach the
manufacture of palm fiber articles, be-
lieying that more may be accomplished
by encouraging home work In this line
than by the establishment of a single
factory. She also will probably arrange
for a central place for selling articles
made by pupils of the institute.

BOY CLAIMS GANG FORCED
HIM TO COMMIT ROBBERY
AIvarado confessses Theft When Ar
rested, but Alleges Older Youths
Compelled Action by Threat
with Revolver

Frank Alvarado, Il years of age, Iiv-
ing with his parents at 1708 holster
street, was arrested last night by De-
tectiyes Hawley and Mckenzie and
sent to the detention home on charge
of burglary.
It is alleged that a week ago Alva-
RADIO and a number OF other boys en-
tered the house of Mrs Fannie lsaacs
at 348 Pecan street and stole IS in
money and six gold rings valued at $40.
| Alvarado confessed to the police and
gave the names of the other boys who
were with him at the time of the rob
berry. No others have been arrested.
He made the claim to the police that
he was forced at the point of revolver
by an older boy whom he knew only
as ''Curley" and several members of a
gang" to commit the robbery and
that it was only fear that drove him
to the crime.
The robbery, when it was reported to
to police several days ago, was sup
posed to be the work of experienced
men. A neghbor who saw Alvarado
climbing over the back fence of the
Is acs yard at about the time the rob-
berry was committed reported that inS
stance yesterday.
