"HONEYMOON TRAIL"

n HE big musical comedy success,
Honeymoon Trail" by Adams,
a Hough and Howard, which opens
at The Mason tomorrow night, lays
clam to the unique distinction, for
a musical comedy, of having a real
anu interesting story running through
it 1t is, and has been, the custom
wnen a manager decides to put on a
musical comedy to go to a lyric
writer and engage him to write eight
OF ten numbers, then to the author for
the stage characters and comedy, and
hnally handing the results to a stage
producer to arrange the business and
dances. The result of all this generally
is high~class pleasing vaudeville
show produced under the more aristo-
cratic heading of mus cal comedy"
This is not the way with Mort. Fl
Singer, and is no doubt the reason of
his great success as a producer. He
demands a consistent story and plot,
and there is a reason for every situa-
tion, laugh and song n all of his pro-
ductions.
Honeymoon Trair' is no exception
to this rule. The scenes of the play
are laid in Lower California, at a sani-
tarium known as "Sleepy Hollow Rest
Cure" a resort for overworked bust
is a hotel filled with gong"tO-be di-
vorced couples. There comes to the
sanitarium a very brainy and ener-
getic eXploter of a certain brand of
baked beans. To add to the complica-
tions there is staying at the hotel a
manufacturer of another brand of
beans, and the many situations aris-
ing from the rivalry of these two are
very funny indeed. To top the cli-
max, the young salesman falls in love
with his rivals daughter, and the love
is reciprocated on the part of the young
lady. The first act ends with the at
tempted elopement of the young cou-
pie, which is prevented, however, BY
the burglary of the hotel by a bunco
man who has been stopping there try
ing to sell fake mining stock. The
play ends with the forgiveness of the
father and the marriage of the young
couple, with the proviso that the sales
man quits his old employers and be-
comes a partner of the old man.

AS to Five Feet of Books

What won't fat will fill, saith the
adage, and filling it is that chiefly
concerns us, not only in respect of
foodstuffs, but literature as well.
That's why five feet of books won't do.
The amount of it is, we've got to be
pleasantly engaged, and with our ad-
vance in culture chewing gum isn't
enough-hence the need of books, and
plenty of them
Half the meat, masticated fine,
would afford twice the nutriment, but
nutriment is about the last thing we
think of. Five feet of books means
mental Fletcherism, and any kind of
Fletcherism Is a bore.
No, we shall still demand our yards
and rods and miles of books that swal-
low easily and keep us comfortably
distended.-Puck

FIsH-HooKs OF ocEANIA

Modern fishing tackle as displayed in
the window of the sporting goods shop,
consists of an immense variety of pat
ent appliances, each warranted to be
infallible for attracting and ensnarlng
some particular member of the fish
tribe; but the hook, that simple though
important feature, is absolutely essen
tial and has remained practically un-
changed in form during many CEN
turies. Proba bly, the earliest example
of a metal hook is one that was found
in Switzerland, and dates back to the
bronze age. There is no essential diff
ference between this ancient hook and
the finest ones of steel that are pro-
duced today.
To go back as far as the stone age,
we have only to turn to the inhabi-
tants of Oceania, because these ma
tives have never progressed any far
ther in the art of capturing fish than
did their ancestors centuries ago. Their
hooks are of two main classes, those
to be baited and those to be used with
out bait. The former are Of wood or
turtle shell, fashioned either from
single piece or having the point fas.
tened to the shank. Most of these are
intended to penetrate the mouth of
the fish, although there are others that
act as gorges and catch athwart the
mouth or gullet, and thus enable the
fish to be drawn mp. The largest types
are used in New Guinea and Microne-
sia for the capture of sharks. while the
Solomon islanders have tiny shell hooks
for taking mullet.
The Polynesian hooks are generally
barbed and some curious specimens
have been collected m New Zealand.
One of these is made from a section
of a dogs jawbone, a sirgle tooth,
which has been filed to a sharp point,
being left for the barb. In this same
country a hook that has been pointed
with human bone is regarded as pos
sessing- exceptionally fine qualities for
attracting the fish.
The best workmanship is exhibited in
the hooks which are used without bait
and which correspond to our spoons.
Pearl or other irdescent shell fur
nishes the part which attracts the fish.
and frequently the shank consists of
the ribbed part of a shell, near the
hinge of the valve, thereby giving the
hook spinning motion as it is drawn
through tho water More elaborate de-
signs have a wooden shank, neatly
curved and inlaid with a silver of
haliotis shell, while the barb is of
sharpened bone. The extreme delicacy
required in accurately piecing together
one of these composite hooks may be
imagined, and a great expenditure of
time and labor is necessary. Hence
they have been preserved very care
fully and only used on lines of heavy
vegetable fibre which seldom break eX-
cept under extraordinary strain

Women to Fiaht tuberculosis.

One million women, representing
cities. towns, villages and isolated
rural settlements in every section OF
the country, are to-day enlisted In
campaign against tuberculosis, accord
ing to a statement issued by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis. In legis-
latures, in congress at Washington. in
society gatherings, in churches and
clubs. through speaking and writing
in every possible way, the women Of
the country are persistently fighting
consumption.
With an organization established In
every state of the country, under the
direction OF the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs, and with associated
clubs in Alaska, the Hawaiian islands.
Porto Rico and the canal zone, the
women Of the country have entered a
systematic crusade to carry the mes
sage of the prevention and cure Of
tuberculosis into every American
home.

THE CANDLE BACK IN FAVOR.
Artistic Holders Employed for the H.
Iuminsnts of a Past
Generation.

The woman whose aim Is to reveal
q touch of the artist in her home just
at present is interested in the old
fashioned candlestick. 1t is revival
as happy in its way as that of the re-
turn to favor of Sheffield or pewter
ware. The candle held its own against
the oil lamp, but lost its popularity
when gas came in, and 1t was practi-
cally outlawed when electricity came
into general use. Now, however, many
women of society are using candles ex-
tensively. One society leader, in fact,
has gone to the extreme of having
electric fixtures removed from several
rooms, relying entirely upon candles
for lighting. These candles she dis
plays in antique candlesticks of beaten
brass. Tall Russian candlesticks now
are seen on many library tables and
tall silver colonial sticks are on many
dressing tables. New candlesticks are
shown in pottery and wrought iron,
but antiques are first in favor. The
prices of old brass candlesticks have
advanced greatly in the last few weeks
and few now are to be found in the
antique shops.

ONE THING THAT WAS CERTAIN
No Doubt In the Baggageman's Mind
as to Contents Of What Looked
Like Coffin.

In an emergency the manufacturer
of Limburger cheese was forced to
use strategy with a shipment. Ordi-
narily his product went in special
cars. but in this instance no car was
available and the order must be filed.
Two hundred pounds of the fragrant
comestible was put in rough, OBJ
long box, and taken to the railroad
baggageroom. Then the manufacture
er bought a ticket for himself and the
box, and entered the train. At the
first stop he went ahead to the bag.
gage car to see that there was no
trouble. He stood by the box in a
disconsolate attitude and shaded his
eyes with his hand. The baggageman
was sympathetic. "a relative" he
asked. YES" answered the manu-
facturer. ''it is my brother" WELL"
said the railroad man, philosophically.
you have one consolation. He's dead,
all right."-.San Francisco Argonaut.
