"That the nocturnal automobile,
as vehicle Of dissipation, is a high
ly dangerous implement Of death to
have at large in the community is an
obvious conclusion,' remarks the De-
troit Journal. That excellent news
paper gives several cogent reasons
for its belief further on, chief OF
which is that three persons have re-
Gently been killed in Detroit by ex-
actlv the kind Of an automobile
which it describes. It would have
been an easy matter to gather statis-
tics of the same kind from the re-
cords in nearly every city in the coun-
try, for i; s unhappily true that no
small proportion Of the fatal automo-
bile casualties in recent years Is di-
rectly ascriable to diss:oation on the
part of either driver or passengers,
or both.
As yet the motor car is distinctive
ly the vehicle for pleasure. It's own

dissipate. if he so chooses, and those
who ride with him on pleasure bent
very frequently regard wine as all
indispensable adjunct to enjoyment.
At any rate, it frequently happens
that roistering parties whiz along the
streets at all hours Of the night. who.
whether intoxicated or not. permit
their hilarity to blunt their appreeia-
ton of the danger involved. Some
times it is the owner with some boon
companions. Frequently it is the
chauffeur, ont for ''joy ride AL
ways the shadow of death hovers
over the jolly party and invariably
the automobile is a menace to those
upon the streets.

about by mud dikes, each in perfect
order; next to them, on slightly high
er ground, are the patches Of barley,
peas and millet, all arranged with a
precision almost mathematical
While one field lies fallow for brief
six months, another next to it is tend
ed with an individual care almost be-
yond belief.
Each rice plant that is sunk in the
mud Of the flooded field receives al
most as much attention as the care
fully numbered fowls that roost .each
night on the thatch Of the farmers
hut. Seed is not scattered boardcast; a;
it is too precious for that. Instead it
is pushed into the loan Of a forcing
bed by the finger Of the farmer or
his wife.
When the rice plants are three or
four inches high they are transplant
ed to the paddy, groups Of three or
four plants in a hill. This is grilling
work. It means that the farmer, his
wife and his daughters, naked all Of
them save cloth about the waist,
must bend their backs all day in the
streaming fields during May and ear
ly June in water and heavy mud up
to their knees and fighting leeches
constantly.
When the stalks Of grain and rice
are above ground and flourishing
comes the farmers dread: The tor
rental rains of the naiubai (phoneti-
cally transcribed,) or summer wet
season. In an hour. the work Of
months may be flattened to the
ground, dikes washed out and the
rivers roaring over the fields that had
encroached on their dry channels.
Nothing but total loss Of crops can
result from this onslaught Of the rain.
Even with all conditions favoring,
the japanese farmer has to work like
a serf to gather his harvest. The rows
Of grain are cut with sickle, for no
field is large enough to accommodate
a cutting and threshing machine even
though so expensive an adjunct TO
farming on a large scale could be af-
forded.
When the grain is brought out Of
the field it is laid by handfuls on the
ground in front Of the farmers house
and there the heads are pulled off and
the kernels, still bearded. are caught
on piece Of mating by the laborious
process of pulling each handful Of
grain through the close set teeth Of
dentated iron knife.
Old women and children do this
work and it is usually the old women
who have to place the kernels in a
wooden mortar and pound them with
a heavy mallet until the chaff is
loosened. Then the handfuls of mixed
kernels and grain are tossed in the
air over a piece Of mating contin-
uously until the wind has carried
away the chaff.
Each seed that the farmer gains af-
ter his long year Of untiring effort
seems to represent an individual plea
for inchease made to the parent seed
that was planted, for on no other land
under heaven is the parable Of the
seed that is sown so faithfully exem-
plified and perhaps nowhere else does

ANOTHER THEATRE
MAKES BID FOR
NEWARK'S FAVOR
New Lyric to Open Monday with
an Excellent Bill Of
Vaudeville.
.nryN~1S4H

For the gala opening on Monday OF
Newark's newest playhouse, the
Lyric, Manager w. H. Currie has
gathered together an excellent sample
of the brand of vaudeville that the
patrons of the Lyric will see during
the coming season. Aside from the ex-
cellence of the program the Lyric in
itself will especially appeal to vaude-
Vile lovers because of it's %coziness and
safety. 1t is a handsome ediice both
in exterior and interior n we'll adapt
ed to the purposes of vaudeville. Its
opening makes the total of theatres IN
the city centre number seven.
The opening bill is headed by Alex
Carr, who almost overnight became a
star through his performance in TO
blitzky, or the End of the World" In
this he gives an impression of a He
brew of the middle classes that re-
sembles Warfield's "~Auctioneer," and
yet,is in no sense of cop of that fam
u character. The quaint, quiet
humor Of the old man who is forever
quoting his favorite philosopher, "To-
blitsky," caught the favor of the New
York audience. Following this success
Mr.. Carr formed one of the three stars
of which Miss Blanch Ring and JEFF
ferson De Angels were the others and
played an extended engagement at the
Casino last season. His imitation OF
Warfield's Herr Won Barwig, in 1.-The
Music Master was a fine piece of
work.
Miss Grace Cameron, another of the
entertainers, is also a Casino graduate,
and one of the most favored of comic
opera soubrettes. Her success as Dolly
Dimples is still a pleasant memory.
She retains this song in her present
repertoire as well as doing her clever
impersonation Of children. In addition
to these Miss Cameron's songs arise
from the best of the light operas n
wears a burlesque sheath gown that is
q revelation in a double sense.

the lobby of the theatre before each
performance and during the show will
be led about the theatre. After each
matinee the tiny bit of horsef1esh will
be led onto the stage n the audience
will be invited to make its acquaint-
ance. During these stage receptions
zach person will be given a miniature
horseshoe as a souvenir-miniature be-
cause it Is such a small replica of an
ordinary horseshoe, but really an exact
reproduction of the actual size of the
worn by this animal.
Miss VILLA Holt Wakefield, known as
one of the most refined entertainers in
vaudeville, will be another special at
traction for the week. She will give
what is styled a "Pianologue," which
Is really a series of song readings with
plano accompaniment by herself. She
is an e~locutionist and a musician Of
more than ordinary ability and pre-
sents an artistic novelty which has de-
lighted thousands.
Others on the bill will include Felix
Adler, in a comedy monologue; ]. Fran
Dooly and Corinne Sales, in a son
and dance act; Faust brothers, panto-
mime comedians; McNish and Penfield,
colored entertainers, and the latest
moving pictures.
