Criminality of Waste,

If l wanted to train child to be
thrifty 1 should teach him to abhor
waste. l do not mean waste of
money; that cures itself, because very
soon there is no money to waste-but
waste of material, waste of something
that is useful but that you cannot rep
resent in money value to the waster.
There is waste of water, waste of gas
and things of that kind If you would
wish your children to be thrifty /
would beg to impress upon them the
criminality of waste.-Lord Rosebery,
in an Edinburgh Address.

Welfare of Nation at Stake.

I warn my countrymen that the great
recent progress made in city life is not
a full measure of our civilization; for our
civilization rests on the wholesomeness,
the attractiveness, and the completeness,
as we'll as the prosperity, of life in the
country. The men and women on the
farms stand for what is fundamentally
best and most needed in our American
life.

exhaustive report on four famous
American musical compositions.

longer a national song, is still ma

in the popularity contest. The history
of Yankee Doodle is described as
"a perfect maze of conflicting stories,
with countless additions to and Varia-
tions from the original" AS many as
fourteen variations of THE Star
Spangled Banner" are noted, accom-
panied by a gradual process of polish
ing and modification.
The year in which America was
sung first in public is given as 1882,

definitely ascertained. Hail Column

ACTORS WIFE DIES
OF HEART DISEASE
EXPIRES WHILE HUSBAND Is
AT REHEARSAL
Mrs. Phoss McAIlister DuffleId Was
Popular Actress and Played Lead
ing Parts with Booth and
Barrett

Mrs. Phosa McAllister Dufield, wife
of Harry S. Dufield OF the Burbank
stock company and herself an actress
of prominence for many years, died of
heart disease yesterday morning at her
home, 1926 Lomita avenue. Her hus-
band, who had been summoned hur-
riedly from a rehearsal at the Burbank,
arrived a few minutes after she had eX-
pired.
Mrs Duffield was 50 years old and
had long been an invalid. For the
last year she had been unable to take
part in the social activities in which
she had been popular among the actors
of the city. She was for many years
well known to playgoers of the coun-
try, having been leading woman for
Edwin Booth and having played in
companies headed by Barrett and Nc
Cullough.
Three years ago she retired from the
stage after playing her last roles as
character woman for the Burbank
stock company during a long and very
popular engagement. For a time she
was directress Of the Burbank school
of art, but of late had been compelled
to resign this position also, as greater
weakness came with the advancing
years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Duffield were deeply
devoted to each other, and their good
comradeship was a thing we'll known
in local actors circles in which word
Of the death was received last night
with that ready sympathy character
istic of the people of the stage.
The funeral will be held Monday
from the Booth and Boylson under
taking rooms, 1147 South Flower street.
The Rev. Baker p Lee, rector of
Christ church. probably will officiate.
Interment will be at Rosedale ceme-
terry.
To permit the members of the Bur-
bank company to attend the services,
there will be no rehearsal Monday
morning at that theater.

RARE PRESENCE OF MIND SAVES
AGED WOMAN FROM CRUEL DEATH

passing in both directions cut off her
escape. She realized that she must
act quickly, as she was directly IN the
cars path. Acting on her deteflnlha-
tion She sat down on the fender as
gracefully as though it had been her
favorite rocking chair. She lifted her
feet and rode until the motorman, VINO
was Mortified at the sight, gathered
his wits together and brought the car
to a standstill.
81 realized that if I sat down and
raised my feet l would not be hurt,
said Mrs. Labernon after the unusual
experience. II suppose most women
would have been excited, but was
not 1t was fun riding on the fender,
but I would not like tc repeat 1t too
often.'
After Mrs Labernon had given her
name to the crossing policeman, she
walked away amid appreciative eX-
nressions from the large crowd which
ouipI<lV gathered.
