like to go to a show and cry their

What do l think of show like
Mrs. Warren's Profession p Well, now,
I don't like to criticize a show that
seems to have got by all right. Per-
sonally don't think that sort of a
show has any right to be put before
public audience. Most any man would
hesitate to send his daughter to such
a show. I wouldn't send my daughter
there. If l had my way about 1t l
wouldn't let a show like that appear.
Some people like that kind. Many get
into the theater and do not know what
they are going to see and then are
offended. Take this Salome dance
business. l can't see anything in
structive or entertaining about that.
If woman appeared in the parlor of
one of our homes dressed like these
Salome dances we would throw a
blanket over her and hustle her out
of the place. Now, why should people
go and pay to see that sort of thing ?
It's indecent. That's what it is. Cho-
ruses of girls, acrobats and that sort
Of thing are not bad, but when IL
woman comes out like these Salome
dancers and caters to the bad in mon
and women, | don't think it should
50 on.
No Excuse for "Sapho."
I'm my opinion there is little excuse
for a show like 'Sapho.' A character
that should be in the background all
the time is brought out in the light
of a heroine. A woman whose acts
would forbid her being entertained at
respectable home is pictured in \
light that is wrong. The effect Of such
a play on the mind Of young woman
is harmful, believe.
II haven't been carried away with

the stage in a day. I am going to try
and make things just n little better.
II do not anticipate any trouble
with the better class of theaters here.
The shows. I think. are clean as a
rule. There are some of the moving
pictures that are bad. There are some
shows. especially some solth of Yes
Ter, where the audiences are made up
of rough class that enjoy rough
jokes and obscene shows. That can
not go on. and the chief doesn't want
it to go on"

MAKES kNoTTY POINT IN Law,
A~ners Of Property Have Right to ~.
bid Flight Of Airs:,iIs.

A law framed thousands of years
ago by the ancient Romans. and ttc
only one bearing on the subject, ma.
have to be amended or wholly nullitiet
before airships go shooting about
through space at their own sweet will
This important fact was brought out
at a meeting of aeronauts in London
At present nobody has the right to fly
across occupied land. The world Is
governed by the ancient Roman law,
'Usque ad Coelum." 1t means that
every landowner has right to the air
above his head as far up as he
chooses to go. and can get an injunc-
tion to restrain anyone from flying
through it. So far nobody has attempt
ed to put the law in force. 1t would
be most uncomfort BILE, not to say dis
astrous. for a farmer suddenly to
emerge from his barn or smokehouse
and pepper ones airship with bullets.
The fact that the aeronaut from his
lofty perch could not be expected to
see the mo Trespass" sign might no.
prove a mitigating circumstance with
the rural magistrate.

HIGH IN CIVILIZATIONS SCALE.
Unknown Peoples Of America Who
- Have Perished Utterly.

Between the region occupied of old
by the Aztecs and the realm far to the
south over which the Incas ruled lies
an immense stretch OF territory, a
thousand miles long and 500 wide.
where the remains of unknown and
wonderful civilizations are being dis
covered. says a writer in Van Nor
den's Magazine. This region extends
from the northern boundaries of Peru
to the southern limits of Costa Rica.
In one section alone along the coast
Of Ecuador six entirely unknown civili-
cations were recently brought to light
by Prof. Marshall H. Saville, and a
vast collection OF relics has been
brought to New York. This collection
is to be the nucleus of a great Amer
lean museum, which will represent
the history of ancient peoples who at
tanned an extraordinarily high degree
Of civilization. yet whose very exist
ence has been hitherto lost in an
tiquity.
The famed marble chairs of Rome
at its zenith were not more symmet-
rical OF beautifully carved than those
of one of these unknown civilizations.
