PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Pahons of a moving picture show got more than the worth of their niclSels today.
 c. J. Stanley, a comedian, sang a song directed at Mrs. Louis Hansen, of Camden, who was in the audience. Stanley sang There's Glass to a Girl Like That" and turned a spot light from under his coat directly in Mrs. Hansen's face,
 Louis Hansen was sitting beside his wife when the comedian perpetrat ed what he regards as the star fea- ture of his act, Hansen with shout Of anger started for the stage and landed three punches on the com median before the house policeman could take him away
 Hansen was taken to the city hall under a charge Of assault and battery made by the actor, At hearing be- fore Magistrate Scott, Hansen said that he had askedd the actor o "cut 1t out after the latter had flashed the light in his wife's face time af- ter time and that when this course had been ineffective he had climbed to the stage and given him what he thought was coming to him.
 After Mrs. Hansen had corroborat- ed her husbands testimony and add ed that the comedian had made eyes at her" as he was leaving the stage. Magistrate Scott discharged the husband with an intimation that his course had been justifIed.-New York Sun.

Marcel of the Wave.

accident hit on the wave.
At that time he was a young hair
dresser with a small shop on Mont
martre. His mothers hair was beau
tiful, and waved naturally everywhere
but at the temples, where there was
not the slightest indication Of wave.
This annoyed him so that one day he
took the irons and persuaded her to
allow him to use the hot irons on it.
After much fussing he turned the
irons the wrong way-as he then
thought-and behold! the Marcel

A Diet to Grow Thin.

Oranges will lend pleasant aid to
the woman who wants to grow thin
ner. She must take the juice of at
least two at every meal, and these
must not be sweet ones. She must
also give up oil with her salad, and
substitute lemon juice for vinegar.
She cannot have cream or sugar IN
her coffee and the coffee itself save at
breakfast must give place to sugariess
and milkless weak tea. She can
have all the acid fruit she wants, but
If it be stewed no sugar must be add
ed Grapes, peaches, melons, prunes,
and bananas are tabooed as they are
flesh producers. No cereals for ner,
no hot bread save dry toast, no pork

watetr being taken by preference.
DIR. Weir Mitchell advocates copious
draughts of skim milk for the safe re-
duction Of flesh. He states If it be
taken plentifully at and between
meals it will positively cause pa
tient to lose half pound of flesh a
day. Baths must be taken in cold wa

It is only short time, of course, be-

TANNING A RIVER
The Erratic susquehanna Has At Last
Been Harnessed.

Although with the exception of the
st. Lawrence river 1t Is the largest
stream flowing into the north Allan
tic, the Susquehanna river has never
been renowned for anything but
scenery and trouble.
Since the timber has been stripped
from its mountainous drainage basin,
embodying an area of $4,000 square
miles, the floods of the Susquehanna
have been extremely sudden, violent
and destructive. Not infrequently It
attains the remarkable record of
flow at high water equal to 25 times
its volume at low water.
Large as it is, the erratic Susque-
hanna Is navigable for only five miles
above its mouth. Beyond that point 1t
is so full Of rocks and shoals and
rapids that nothing but an occasional
raft at high water has ever passed
down.
Such particularly outrageous
stream is the Susquehanna. says the
Technical World, that it is difficult to
find room upon it even to navigate a
ferryboat comfortably. One of these
quiet reaches Is McCall's ferry, where
a part of Washington's army crossed
on its way to do up CORVALLIS at
Yorktown. The commander himself
crossed at Conowingo Ford, IA miles
below.
At this historic spot some clever en-
gineers are demonstrating that the
Susquehanna is good for something
after all, for they are building a
hydro-electric power plant which is
remarkable. Not the least interesting
feature is the extraordinary care with
which the situation was studied before
the plans were formed. To be sure
engineers are proverbially painstak-
ing, but in this case a new record for
thoroughgoing accuracy was establish
ed 1t was the highest tribute that
man could pay to the terrors of the
SusQuehanna.-New York Sun.

Their Own Fault.

1t Is possible for woman to look
WELL even in practical motor clothes,
but study of scores of fair motor
women forces one to admit ruefully
that while the thing may be possible
1t isn't probable.
Few motorwomen have the trig
neatness which gives the proper
sporty air to motor toilette, and
even admitting that the quaint and
the picturesque have their place in
motor apparel, few women wear their
quaintness and picturesqueness con-
'vincingly; few understand the clever
manipulation of veil or hood, the pos
sibilities in color and line.
In the luxurious cars that roll round
the city streets one sees delightful
visions, but all things are possible for
that sort of motoring-big hats, grace
fully draped; enveloping cloaks, flut-
tering scarfs and feathers that would
be an unmitigated nuisance in more
spirited versions of the popular sport.
Few women seem able to get them
selves up In motor costumes at once
practical and becoming, and yet, as
one makes the rounds of the shops
one sees a surprising number OF at
tractlve coats and hats and bonnets
and hoods intended for motor wear.
Evidently the fault is with the wearer.
not with the designer
The woolen stuffs appropriate for
the motor coat that will see all around
service were never more attractive
than they are this season, soft, warm,
comfortable, yet light in weight and
wonderfully effective In color and de.
sign. There are vague indefinite
plaids in which many colors are SO
cleverly blended that at a distance
the fabric gives almost monotone
effect.
Other plaids, more striking and def.
mite, are still charmingly harmonious
because of the skill with which their
shades are chosen and combined.
Among these are certain effective de.
signs suggesting Scotch tartan in
their color schemes, but softened, sub
dued, blended so beautifully that one
color shades into another without
sharp line Of contrast. There are
very smart coats in these plaids, gay
yet not garish, plainly made in man.
nish fashion and with collar facing OF
black or of some dark tone prominent,
in the plaid.
In fabrics Of like quality, fine, warm,
soft, blanketlike, but surprisingly
light, there are other designs of char
acter somewhat audacious, yet by no
means so loud as they sound in the
description-big,b broken black checks
in two tone, three tone, or even four
tone coloring.-New Haven Register.
