XMAS MERRIMENT
AT COUNTRY CLUB
Columbia Members Enjoy a
Delightful Entertainment.

IT was a merry party which gathered
last night in the beautiful clubhouse of
the Columbia Country Club to celebrate
Yuletide week. Around the handsomely
decorated Christmas tree, which was
placed in the comfortable grill room,
gathered fully 200 members of the club,
and during the evening they were pre-
sented with gifts, all of them of a
humorous character, except the presents
which were given to George O'Connor
and Matt Horne, his accompanist, and
these were really worth while.
There were solos by O'Connor and
choruses in which everybody Joined with
spirit, if not always with grand opera
voices. Then Louis Weaver, attired as
a Scotchman, did an imitation of Harry
Lauder which would make his fortune
on the vaudeville stage. He sang Il
Love Lassie" and also did a golf stunt
with a tennis ball and a golf club that
brought down the house. Finally, in Or
der that peace and goodwill might reign
forever, ii was decided to burn all the
sarcastic remarks and gifts, and then,
while the red fire burned merrily, in
came r. ]. Beall and Thomas Fisher,

BREACHES ECONOMY
TO The HOUSEWIFE
DR.. P. P. ClaXtOn Advocates
Saving in Home.

Declaring that dollar is as sacred as
half a day OF a mans life, Philander
p. Claxton, United States Commissioner
Of Education, in an address last night
before the American Home Economics
Association at the Henry D. Cooke
School, urged every woman to practice
economy in expenditures for her house
hold
'Tf women could understand that every
dollar represents half a day of toll of
mans Hfe,' said Commissioner ClaX-
ton, they would be more careful about
wasting their husbands money. The
woman who has never taken time to
study the life of helping, but has taken
Latin and Greek. will be little aided in
caring for her children when they need
her most. A course in home economics
is invaluable to any woman"
Mrs. Mary Hinman Abel, editor of Jour-
nal Of Home Economics, read a paper on
Home economics and culture" At the
session of the association yesterday morn
ing Miss Claudia Q. Murphy, of New
York City, scored women in general for
their bargain-hunting proclivities. The
resolutions committee was instructed to
draw up suitable resolutions in favor of
law fixing standards for textiles as a
result of an address by Miss Martha Van
Rensselaer,. of Cornell University.

YALE GLEE CLUB
MAKES LONG TRIP
University Men Will Appear
Here Monday.

When the Yale University Glee, Banjo,
and Mandolin clubs roll into Union Sta
ton Monday morning they will have
covered a trip extending hundreds Of
miles. The Yale boys will give a con-
cert at the New Willard Monday night.
This year the clubs visited the cities of
the South, going as far as Jacksonville,
Fla. Among the other cities where they
have sung and played are Atlanta and
Augusta, Ga; Nashville, Tenn, and Rich
mond, Va.
Usually about forty-three men are
taken along, and they have a special
train of three cars, including a sleeper
and a private car. For the two weeks
that they are on the road they practically
live on the train, a crew Of eight men
being taken along merely to prepare and
serve meals.
Because of numerous requests the man.
agement of this years clubs has decided
to inject a little more of the real col
lege spirit into the programme. Yale is
deservedly popular because Of the STIR
ring football songs, and they are seldom
heard outside Of the big games and on
the Yale campus. II is for some Of these
songs that so many requests have been
made, songs Of the type of ''Bingo,"
"Bools," Down the Field" Score for
Yale" ''Whoop It Up" as well as those
of deeper feeling, of which Mother of
Men," Bright College Years and
Brave Mother Yale" are good examples.

DOGS WORRY ABOUT LICENSES

made last week that the dog catcher
would begin work Tuesday there has
been CONSERVATION among the ca
nine inhabitants of Columbia. A
large number of them-ten. to be ex-
act-went to the city collector and
procured the little metal tags that
gives protection. The rest of them
became lean and worried, and devel-
oped the habit of barking nights to
scare off possible assailants.
But yesterday nearly q dozen of
them could be seen playing about
Broadway with all their old-time
zest. There joy will not last long,
however, for today the dog-catcher
was on the job. Chief of Police, ]. L.

statement yesterday.

Historic Indiana.

The title of Historic Indiana" by
Julia Henderson Levering indicates
the contents of the volume. Chapters
in the story of the Hoosier state from
the romantic period of foreign explor-
alton and dominion through pioneer
days, stirring war times and periods
of peaceful progress to the present
time. The book is an admirable ac-
count of what is most memorable,
striking and picturesque in the past
and present-day history of Indiana.
The author by a vigorous selection
process has excluded the insignificant
and in a classic and rapid style she
tells that part of the story of her
state with which all good Hoosiers
should be familiar and which should
have place in the memory of all those
who pretend to a knowledge of Amer
lean history. &C. p. Putnam's Sons,

The Newest Books
Adventures of Bobby Orde.

Little Bobby Orde was a manly
little chap who became enthusias-
tic about every little thing that other
boys do and many things that the
average boy never notices. His
greatest liking was for the rugged
outdoor life and his happiest mo-
ments were when he was riding logs
in a "boom," shouldering his little
22 rifle or solving the mysteries of a
printing Office. Early in life he
learned that 1.-The match is not lost
till the last shots fired" and this les
sen stuck with him. He had his lit
tie childish love affairs; his show-off
days and his disappOintments, but in
the main his life was SO rugged and
earnest that it will interest the older
readers as we'll as the younger to
read of him as told in "The Adven-
lures of Bobby Orde," by Stewart Ed
ward White. (Doubleday-Page, New
York City. Illustrated. $1.2O).

The Moving Picture Craze

/ Columbia is no exception to the
moving picture craze. There are
three picture-show houses in the town
with a combined seating capacity of
1900. On Friday and Saturday they
are packed twice nightly. On
other nights the crowds usu-
ally are smaller, but it is safe to say
that enough people attend both shows
to fill the house once. This would
make an average of something like a
thousand a night. Six nights in the
week means 5000 paid admissions to
these shows in the course of a week.
The m" theater is owned by
Woods and Jennings and has a seat
ing capacity of 400. 1t gives two
slows nightly consisting of two rolls
OF pictures and vaudeville sketch.
The IN" patrons prefer pictures to
vaudeville, the manager says. The
vaudeville has to be exceptionally
good, he says, to hold the crowd. AS
rule comedy pictures are the favor
ties.
The "Star" and the Broadway
"Odeon" are owned by Victor & Will
son. l. A. Victor, manager of the
Star" says that Columbia audiences
are very hard to please. Actors in the
circuit consider applause from a Co.
lumbia audience as equivalent to, q
rise in salary, for the town has the
reputation of being the most critical
on the circuit.
Reports are made out by the mana
ger Of each show house on the way
the act took" at his house and are
sent to the general booking Offices
If the report shows that the skit made
good, it is kept on the circuit. If it
fails to make good, it is taken off
Some of the terms on the reports are:
''poor," frost" riot" fair" and so
on. In each case it is asked: How
did the audience receive it," Actors
Oh the circuit consider it a. great :
feather in their cap If they can get
a favorable report from Columbia.
A new thing in moving pictures !

that Manager Victor says is becoming
popular is the weekly review of the
worlds events by the Pathe film COM
pany. Here are the scenes in a typi-
cal composite film: Bull Fight at
Barcelona, Spain; Airship Flights at
Grand Park, Chicago; Yacht Club
Races at Long Island, New York;
Woodrow Wilson Reviewing the
School Children at Princeton, N. j.;
Hair Dressing in Paris, France; the
Initiative Human Race. short COM
edy sketch.
Moving picture managers all over
the country have found that an Or
chestra does not pay. The explana-
tion of this is simple. An orchestra
cannot adapt its music to the picture
For instance, it may be playing a
fsririted ragtime while the moving
picture is depicting a death scene.
The incongruity detracts from the eff
feet of the picture. Some orchestra
men go over the pictures before they
are shown to the audience and try to
adapt their music in advance, but
even this has not proved entirely sat
isfactOry. Hence most houses have
only piano and a drum, which can
instantly adapt their music to the
picture that is being shown.
Not many people have any concep-
tiOn of the magnitude of the moving
picture business. Millions of dollars
are expended annually in the produc-
tiOn of films. Books have been writ
ten about the industry. 1t supports
trade paper, which is published ev-
cry week and contains eighty pages.
This magazine is devoted to film re-
views just as book magazines are
devoted to book reviews. Authors
OF senariOs are becoming as popular
as authors of novels. In the Moving
Picture World, films are reviewed
and the stories of the films are given |
the same attention that novels re-
ceive in the Book News Monthly.

THE NEW CURE-PREVENTION
The greatest discovery in the med.
ical profession was the art of pre-.
vention. The most remarkable part
OF this discovery is that it was not
made sooner. BENJAMIN Franklin
in his Almanac, gave US q hint of II
about $50 years ago. But we did not
pay any attention to his advice. II
We had. the death statistics of the
world would not read into so many
figures.
Prevention is a science, based on
the principle that it is easier to keep
a thing from happening, than to re-
pair the damage after it has hap
pened. The new science of medicine
Is the science of prevention. The
doctors business will henceforth be,
to see that disease does not set in,
and not only to try to heal. The bus
iness of the fireman will be, to see
that fires do not break out and not
only to put them out. The business
of the judges will be, to prevent
crime, not only to punish for it.
