In the growth and development of
grand opera that no music lover can

number are contributed by such writ

is somes delightful verse, humorous by
Wallace Irwin, and serious by Elizabeth
Frazer.
The individual who keeps abreast of

those forces which make war so terri
Bile that 1t is to be automatically
avoided whenever possible. Vivid inn
agination scarcely could portray the
horrors of warfare between any two of
the great powers that consider no ex-
pense too great to be invested in the
interests of protection, but the habitu-
al reader of Popular Mechanics be-
comes aware of the momentous prob
lens that are involved in the success of
any medium Of aerial navigation, such
as the Wright brothers acceptance; or
in the invention of another powerful
explosive; or in the adaptation of gas
engines to battleships for propulsion;
or even in the improvement of minor
details of military equipment. Every
such achievement Is discussed in the
magazine not alone in regard to its
success, but in its relation to national
welfare. The same is true in indus
trial lines also. A remarkable machine
for picking cotton, revolutionary In its
Importance, is described in the No
vember number; a discussion of the
unsolved problems of metal mining is
another feature; improved tools for
brick laying are described; the war
against the teredo by the use OF con-
crete piling is discussed.

The Theater Magazine for November

wealth of pictures and much interest,

articles is an interview with Billie
Burke in which that actress, whose
rise to popularity has been rapid, gives
some outlines of her early career. Ber-
tina Kalich contributes an article IN
which she condemns certain phases of
American theatrical life, and another

play selected. An account of the do

The November jubilee issue of the
Woman's Home Companion has a spe-

lightweight pages, illustrated by ia
nous artists, contrasted with the 1T
tie fiimsy eight-page issue of the same
magazine which appeared in 1872 is
a vivid reminder of the great strides
made in periodical publishing. That
old issue, popular in its day, is
modest ancestor to the big, influential
magazine of today.
This November issue, on which the
publishers have spent special effort,
because of its anniversary feature, con-
tains, in addition to it's regular depart
ments for women, two articles of inn
portance to home jewellers and home
renters. These articles, with facts and
figures, show the advantage Of owing

Friends who twitted her about her
