sham, her actor-husband And here
is what Miss Opp has to say on the
subject:
There is absolutely no doubt
that actresses set the styles for al
most everything in America
Clothes, manners and amusements
are all determined by how they
dress, how they talk and what they
do for recreation. A woman star is
abjectly followed by her admirers.
Consider the Billy Burke curls. the
Elsie Janis coed dress. not to men,
ton countless similar fads.
and now actresse are beginning
to be mothers again. They have
given up the idea of not having fam
lilies as the actresses of the past
generation did. They are doing
this because they realize that it is
natures decree that women should
bear children. and unless nature is
obeyed nothing is right.
There is nothing that will keep
a woman beautiful if she defies nat
ural laws. To be beautiful, woman
must be healthy. and to be healthy
she must live sane. normal life.
And the sane, normal life for a
woman is to be the mother of big
family.

through the locks at Gatun. These locks are each 1000 feet long and 110 feet wide. Upon emerging from the locks the ship will sail directly down Gatun lake for thirty miles to the Culebra cut. Culebra is the highest part of the Isthmus and, because of the great difficulty of excavating the rock, the narrowest part of the chan nei lies at this point. Passing through the Culebra cut, it will proceed to Pedro Miguel and be lowered some twenty-eight feet by the lock. A few miles further, 1t is again lowered by the locks at Mirafores and from here it will go to Panama. The whole op- erations being completed in about ten or twelve hours.
 Many questions of the security of the dam have been raised but we may safely leave this matter to the engi- neers, who say, that they are making 1t many times stronger than necessary, so that there will be not the slightest possibility of it giving away.

Still more affecting is the scene
 wherein Christ, loaded with a heavy
 cross, slowly and painfully treads his
 way along the streets of Jerusalem.
 He h followed by a madA insulting
 rabhle. striking Him when He falls,
 and hsaping upon Him foul curses. Who that has witness the Passion
 Play can ever forget the meeting be- | tween Mary, the mother, and her di-
 vine son! Worried by foreboding. she nas hastened from her native city to Jerusalem. and while seeking Him
 there, beholds Him falling under the | weight of the cross. How heart
 rending and full of anguish is her cry. Oh, my God, it is my Son, my Jesus!'
 The, scene now changes to Mount Calvary. Upon the ground lies the l cross, and stretched upon it, the figure
 of the Saviour, and as the curtain l rises, the sound of the hammer is heard. Soon the cross is raised on high, and for twenty minutes the ac- tor hangs there. This is the most realistic scene of all. Apparently the hands of the Christ are pierced by
 bloody nails and no support is any
 where in evidence. Imagine how ex- hausting 1t must be to remain so long in that position. No wonder that the actor often faihts with fatigue before he is taken down. The crucifxion scene is really the climax of the play, for the Resurrection and Ascension scenes. which follow, are very brief and seem unimportant to the specta- tor.
 When at length the curtain falls for the last time, moment passes-no one stirs. Slowly and silently then the audience leaves the theatre. Hard, indeed it is, for the people to realize that they are living in the twentieth century; their thoughts are too full of the events that took place nineteen hundred years ago, when there was One sent from Heaven who walked among mortals, teaching the ways of truth and goodness. This is the mis- sion of the Oberammergau Passion Play, and it is for this that the Ba- varian peasants present it to the world every ten years-to awaken feelings of love and devotion, which perchance may be sleeping in the hearts of men.

 Brander Matthews, in writing of the future of the English language, says that 1t will be the language as spoken by all branches of the EngfIsh race. "But," he says, the dominant influ- ence in deciding what the future of that language shall be, must come from the United States The English of the future will be the language that we use here in the United States, and 1t is for us to hand it down to our children, fitted for the service 1t is to render.

The capacious new theatre lies l outside of the town, and seats about roof. and on a rainy day, spectators became wet through, while gazing spellbound upon the passing scenes. The vast audience first looks upon the splendidly arrayed choral host. The rich garments are only exceeded in briiliancy and harmony by the grand, pealing anthems of the chorus. The swelling strains, containing the story of the following events. are the composition of Rochus Dedier. The play is the work of OthEnar Weiss, harmonized by Pastor Dsisenberg. The story need not be retold. for all know 1t we'll. Before each New Tes- lament scene a tableau representing a prophetic incident of Old Testament history is presented.
 The whole is perfectly carried out, every person in the great panorama of the stage throwing heart and soul into his action, thus producing an eff feet which is thrilling in it's simplicity and lack of affectation. Every word, every action is real, and makes itself felt. Its magnificence, harmony, and soul, and find their answer and ap- preciation in the yelling tears of thousands.

 One cannot view the Passion Play without feeling a new interest in re- hgion, a new depth in a noble faith, and a great uplift of spirit. By thus broadening millions of lives, the peb- ble, Passion Play, exerts a 1imitless circle of influence, which must widen throughout the pool of ages.

ITALIAN PEDDLER
HEAVILY FINED
Man Who Pasted Foreign Labels
Over Packes of Cloth and
Had no License, Fined 5000.

Geriando Santino. the Italian who
reaped a rich harvest from unsuspect-
ing Richmonders by selling them cot
ton goods bearing foreign label. and
who conducted his peddiing business
without any license. was Hned s20U
in police court Wednesday. The
maximum fine is five hundred dollars
and the minimum one hundred.
Many witnesses had been summon
ed. but very few of them were used,
the accused admitting that he had
sold goods without license. The
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses was not pushed. 1t
was Santino's scheme to purchase cot
ton goods at s and cents yard and
sell these bolts of cloth for 40 and
30 cents yer yard. He would show a
sample of the best linen, and after
taking the order would return with
a bolt of the cheap goods, upon which
was placed foreign stamp. Gus
toners did not notice the difference
until II was too late.
He had been playing his trade in
Richmond for four or fxe months
and had agents at Work in Norfolk.
