"SEVEN DAYS. Is
GREAT COMEDY HIT

And now behold Mrs. Rinehart
and Mr.. Hopwood,. co-authors of the
biggest comedy hit that has ever
struck Broadway" Look back to the
number of Munsey's magazine that
contained an account of "Seven Days
at the Aston theatre in New York and
you will find the foregoing strong
assertion over the signature of Mat
thew White. Jr. 1t will be an old
copy of Munsey's, for Seven Days
has been running in New York more
than a year, but you may have it filed
away. You will find in the same ar
ticle by Mr.. White:
Seven Days is the richest farce
you can imagine. 7 use the word in
every sense of the term, meaning
hat it o only contains enough fun
to fit out three or foul ordinary com
edies but is also full of clever cpl
grams and %repartee."
That same biggest comedy hit
that has yer struck Broadway" is to-
day the biggest popular hit the Am
erican stage has ever known; an as
sertion warranted by its record. 1t
its second year in New York, having
the exceptional credit of an all sum-
mer run. the first for a comedy, and
with a score Of six months in Chi
cago, "Seven Days" with its whirl-
wind of delightful gaiety, its clean fun
its smart persons in the drollest COM
plications conceivable, has sent more
persons into laughing hysteria than
any play ever produced in this coun-
try.
At the oregon theatre, Sunday. Mar.
s. Messrs. Wagenhals & Kemper will
offer Seven Days" in most attractive
guise, with an ideal Broadway cast
direct from the Astor Theatre and a
strikingly beautiful production.

DEEP SEA DIVERS.
Death Always Hovers Round Them
While They Toll.

Death Always Hovers Round Them
While They Toll.
1t is surprising to learn how many
uses there are for divers. The navy.
of course. employs many to set sub
marine mines and torpedoes and to at
tend to investigations of the condition
of ships bottoms. Bridge construction
companies use them. as do those who
build dams, waterwOrkS and reSer-
voirs. Waterworks in large cities keep
a diver on their sta6 constantly.
Wrecking companies need their serv-
ices. and the profession of underriver
tunneling makes many demands on the
time and skill of the man in armor.
Since Smeaton in 1873 designed
pump to supply air TO the diving bell
little real improvement in the art has
been made. save in detail Of helmet
and clothes. until the invention of the
telephone. The greatest advance ever
made in the art. divers will tell you, is
the combination of the telephone with
the diving suit. Before its advent div
ers had to depend entirely upon pulls
on the life line for communication
with the surface and upon signs to
each other when under water If two
wished to communicate. Today the
modern diving helmet is equipped with
a telephone. and the diver can not only
hear what is said To him from the sur
face. advise those in charge Of his
pump as 70 whether the air is com
ing right" or not. but he can communf-
cate TO a brother diver and hear the
instructions sent to him from the sur
face. all of which facilities are of great
assistance in the work.
At first thought it may not seem so
dificulta thing. this going down under
water and breathing air sent in from
a pump by a tube. But the physical
drawbacks to the work are enormous.

pads, if worn to take the weight of
the helmet, are next tied on. after
which the diver wriggles into his
heavy suit of rubber and canvas. Next
come the inner collar and the breast
plate, which are secured with clamps
to the rubber dress. the utmost care
being taken in this operation not to
tear or pinch the rubber. Finally the
shoes are fitted Oh and the rubber
gloves clamped TO rings in the sleeves.
The helmet is the last to go on. and
never before the valves and telephone
have been tested. The attendants start
to pump as the helmet is clamped
home. The helmet is attached to the
pump with rubber tube, which Is
canvas and wire protected. No diver

until he has tested the outfit and found
that his air supply is sufficient and
the pump working properly.
He is supplied with life line, with
which he can signal should his tele-
phone get out of order and by which
he may be drawn to the surface should
he become helpless for any reason. He
must take great care when walking
about on the bottom not TO foul his
life line or his air tube and for this
reason must always retrace his steps
exactly TO his starting point If he has

may bleed at the nose and ears and
even lose consciousness. And they
must ascend even more slowly than
they descend. particularly when COM

gone into a wreck or about any OBJ
structions. For the same reason two
divers working together must be care
full not to cross each others path.
Sometimes the life line may become
so entangled in wreckage that It must
be cut, and then there is danger of the
diver not finding his way back to his
boat or float. especially If the bottom
is muddy and fouls the seeing" But
the greatest danger of all. of course. is
that the tube be cut or the diver faint.
In either case he is in desperate
straits If the man handling the life
line "feels'' anything wrong he will
haul the diver up willy nilly and re-
gardless Of the severe bleeding at nose
and ears which will result from too
rapid a rise to the surface. But If the
diver be inside a wreck or if his life

hauling would do no good. II is in sit

In order to attach the silken threads
and draw the leaves together the ants
must carry the larvae about from leaf

INDIAN TREASURE
Smithsonian Institution Gets
Four Sacred Packages
From the Osages.
H0LIEsT FETISH OF TRIBE
Generally Buried With Keepers
Tattooing Apparatus and Ma
teriaIs Are Used.

Omcials Of the bureau Of American
ethnology Of the Smithsonian institu-
ton at Washington are highly pleased
over an addition which they have Just
made TO their collection and which
they regard as one Of their choicest
treasures. This acquisition comprises
four sacred bundles or packs OF the
Usage Indians, very few Of which
have ever been obtained by scientists,
as they are generally buried with their
keepers"
These sacred bundles are just as
precious from religious standpoint
TO the Indian as they are from a sci
entif1c standpoint TO the ethnologist
and are extremely hard to obtain.
They represent the hottest fetish Of
tribe, and so zealously are they guard
ed from any PROCLAMATION that they are
put in the charge of a special priest
or medicine man, who keeps them
carefully hidden At certain periods
they are opened and the contents
worshiped amid the most elaborate
ceremonies, but even at these times
only the chosen men of the tribe are
allowed to see the strangely assorted
articles that are kept in the bundles.
HOW THEY WERE SECURED.
The bundles were secured for the
National museum by Francis La
Fleshe. an educated Omaha Indian,
who is in the employ Of the bureau Of
American ethnOlogy. While at work
in Oklahoma he learned OF the ex-
istence Of such bundles and immedi-
ately opened negotiations with the In
dian to whose care they had been in
trusted After exercising considerable
diplomacy he succeeded in persuadinG
the Indian to part with them and
took them 70 Washington and turned
them over 70 the bureau OF ethnOlogy.
One of these was opened with much
care by DR.. Walter Hough. one Of the
curators Of the National museum. DR..
Hough found the outside wrapping or
sack TO be made Of rare Indian fab
ric woven of the silky brow hair Of the

skin band decorated with human
scalps and the leg Of an eagle. Inside
this was a buckskin bag. and inside

One of the three other bundles was
found to contain the tattooing appara-

sacred. as the tattooing is religious
