pany, facilitated BY the school book
commissions recent ruling that all
books should be reduced forty per
cent. below the list price, was headed
OF Friday by the commission when IL
rescnded the forty per cent. cut and
decided to enforce the present twenty
five per cent. reduction.
The twenty-five per cent. cut wiz
apply to companies now having books
in use in Ohio. but the commission
rules any text books will have to be
approved by the commission and it
is probable that the lorty per cent
reduction will be enforced before the
new book is permitted to be sold.
The probability of the American
company's monopoly arose when it
us learned that that company had
iclisted its books at the twenty five
per cent. reduction just last year and
is now working under a virtual con-
tract of FIVE years with the state at
that figure Attorney General Hogan
held that the forty per cent, cut. could
not be enforced during such a con-
tract. Similar book companies pre-
pairing to relist this year said they
could not stand the forty per cent.
cut and could do better by getting
out of the state. Rather than throw
practically the entire trade to the
American company. now doing sixty
per cent. OF the business i'm Ohio. the
commission went back to the twenty
five per cent. cut

FIRE ISLANDS WRECKS.

The stranding of the Princess Irene

hap. 1t is no uncommon thing for a
liner to poke her nose i'm the mud and
coming up or going down the harbor
but the Bleaching of one Of these big
ships, equipped as they are with wire
less apparatus, fog signals am every
appliance that makes Cor safety i'm the
open sea is an unusual and costly ac-
cident. Not only does it cause delay
and alarm to passengers. nut ii also
involves n considerable expense to the
owners of the ship. A parallel to the
case of the Princess Irene is recalled i'm
the experience of the American liner

coast about thirteen years ago, but was
floated again without loss of life,
though not without difficulty. OF

BOYS Are BUSY
LEARNING FEMININE WIIES

Numerous humorous situations have
resulted from the efforts Of the stu
dents at the Michigan College of Mines
to impersonate leading ladies and cho-
rus girls. in the play "In Tobero",
which is TO be presented throughout the
upper peninsula, beginning with the
/ first appearance on May / at the Ker-
redge theatre. Hancock.
There are six chorus girls in the play
and two young men who take leading
parts as ladies. The leading lady is
/ G. II. Schaber who takes the part Of
Odita. the daughter Of the Alcalde.
/ Schaber is also the stage manager and
! the composer OF the words and music
! Of the College of Mines song which
viii be sung during the performance.
He conhded 20 n reporter yesterday
that he has been practicing for many
weeks in private to learn how to wear
his clothes properly. His latest di-
lcmna is the corset problem Mr.
Schaber is small and 1.-THE but still his
waist measure does not conform 10 the
dictates Of Dame Fashion. The hero
must have a long arm in order to get
around Odita's waist To remedy this
defect Mr.. Schaber or Spike" as he is
known by the students, sought the
advice Of one Of his young lady friends
about week ago. She prescribed GER
tain exercises which Spike" has prac-
.ticed religiously every evening. He.
also uses ropes but is very reticent
about this matter. il being a secret
which few outside Of the "fems" know.
He also has been offered a great deal
of advice in regard to putting on the
corset properly and effectively.
Mr.. Schaber is well known in the
copper country as singer Of some
ability. AS Odita he will be required
TO sing love songs The part is big
enough TO be handled by a prima
donna but Schaber is all this and
more. His beautiful mezzo soprano
voice can hardly be detected from the
genuine article.
The other actress Is Miss Athene
Emerson, OF. p. Kraeger). She does a
Salome dance and does it very grace
fully She is tall brunette and
poses as a prima donna mezzo soprano.
Miss McKernan OF Houghton has
promised the students the services of
two of her hair dressers to put their
braids together artistically. The first
dress rehearsal OF the play will be
given at the Kerredge theater next
Friday afternoon, when the students
viii put on all their fneries for the
first time.
