Running a theater is an exceedingly
hazardous business. dependent entirely
upon the whims of the public. which the
producers are not able to forecast with
any satisfactory accuracy.
AT the outset of season of thirty
weeks with New York theater," to
quote from Harry p. Mawsons article in
our next Sunday Magazine. the produc-
ing manager faces an expenditure Of at
least $15O,OO0, not including cost of seem
cry, etc. and he cannot tell whether the
goods he expects to display are going to
find a ready sale or not. The pubic is
tickle. and women make successful play.
Need we say any more?
And, when we look back. one manager
in past season produced fourteen con-
secutive failures. some of them SO bad
that they lasted only performance or
two. Now. as there are about twenty
first-class theaters In New York. the
weekly fixed charges are at a low esti-
mate, 500, 1000. and the seasons liabilities
over $3,000.O0O. Add to this all the thea
ters in the country-there are said to be
5.pO0 of all grades-and the figures mount
up to where the average person cannot
decipher them at ALL

That athletics and the commercial spirit
dominate in the state universities, and
that religion is given lesser and lesser
place each year, was the declaration
made by DIR. Wilbur p Thirkield in an

University last evening. The speaker
declared that the gradual elimination of
religion from the curriculum of colleges
is changing the attitude of the college,

INSPECTED GARBAGE PLANTS.
Engineer Commissioner Judson Re
turns From Trim to Ohio.

Engineer Commissioner Judson returned
this morning from Toledo, Ohio, where
he spent the latter part of last week in
specting the municipal garbage reducing
plant that is operated in that city. Sew
eral weeks ago the Engineer Commission
er visited Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio,
where he conducted similar inspections.
The Commissioners are convinced that
Washington should have a municipal
garbage-reduoing plant and have includ-
ed in their estimates an item providing
for a preliminary survey for the struc-
ture. The Washington Fertilizer Com
pany has the present garage contract
and it does not expire until June, 1915
but the District heads believe that they
will be able to have municipal plant
ready for operation by that time. 1t is
estimated that the plant will save the
District from $lO0,O0O to S15O,o0O year.

postal savings depository established in
his Office showed 421 accounts had been
opened, $l4.S4O received in deposits for
which certificates had been issued and
S43. 60 worth Of postal savings cards and
stamps had been sold. This is considered
| at the Post Office Department graft
flying showing, and much better than
was at first expected.
People Show Appreciation.
Mr.. Merritt says is shows that the peo-
pie Of the city appreciate the value Of
the institution. 1t is his belief that the
greater part of this money would not
have gone into any other savings insti-
tuition. He says with the extension of
the hours during which the depository
windows will be kept opened for the re-
ceipt Of deposits from pm: until 8
pm, in his judgment, many more work
ing people, who have heretofore been
prevented from doing so will open addi-
tional accounts. and materially increase
the number of deposits.
At the rate of approximately $1,000
for the two weeks. If that ratio is main
tained, the deposits for the year would
amount to nearly 100000 1t is believed.
however. by those who are following the
progress of the new postal savings sys-
TEN that with the extension of the de-
posting hours, as suggested by the post
master. the deposits at the close of the

more than a half million dollars. This
belief is predicated upon the fact that a

personally appear at the depository win

ANOTHER LARGE CROWD
! AT MUSEUM YESTERDAY
More Exhibits in Place and
Greater Interest Is Shown
\ by Visitors.

With increased corridor space and hun
dreds of specimens added from the old
building, the new building Of the National
Sunday crowd yesterday afternoon for
400 people. From now on it is prac-
tically assured that each Sunday will see
new exhibits of some sort.
AS fast as the new building can be filled
with the priceless exhibits of the old
one. new spaces will !; be thrown
open to the public for the Sunday aft
ernoon opening. and with the halls clear
ed of partitions there will be much
better facilities for examining the cases
than there were a week ago. with the rec
ord-breaking crowd of 5000 people.
Crowd More Interested.
1t was found yesterday that the people
who went to the museum stayed longer
than they did week ago, and paid more
attention TO each case and to the individu-
al exhibits. At some future time 1t will be
found that every specimen will have a
card showing exactly what the specimen
is and AS much description as will be nec-
essary to give any one a good idea of
its use or origin. The labelling of the
exhibits Is a gigantic task. Many Speci-
mems are labeled at present. of course.
and this scheme will extend throughout
the entire collection.
To enable the crowd to circulate with
greater freedom yesterday the south
doors of the building were thrown open
as an exit only and this was found to
be Of great advantage.
