POLI'S.

The one ideal spot in which to spend an afternoon or everfng of relief iron, the hurries and cares of Christmas week is at Polls theatre, where the great bill that is being shown this week is receiving the highest praise pleasant entertainment and enjoyable relaxation, a fact witch is being ap- preeiated by thousands daily
 Conroy and La Diva have created nothing short of a sensation with their wonderful swimming and divine per- formance. A special tank weighing 15 tons when filled has been erected propriate scenery and its surface shown by mirror so that every movement of the swimmers within can be followed by the audience. There is only a small proportion of swimming in the act, however, most saticnal diving. Miss La Diva, who is billed as the most perfectly formed woman. in the world, looks the part. She appears in several beautiful poses which naturally make a big hit.
 ''The Mayor and the Manicure George Ade's great comedy sketch. is another huge bit. Here is a vaude- vile sketch in which no tenet of dra- matic art has been sacrificed and yet which teens with comical situations and rich humor. At the same time it has an interesting and vel con- structed plot which engages the at- tention of the audience while the hu- nor tickles the visibility.
 Arthur J. Pickens and his two pret- ty sfstants have one of those vau- deville skits full of ginger and go'' from the opening moment. The fun comes fast and without a moments s pause and the audience is left gasp ing for breath. The fact that the two young women who assist MT. Pfckens are both very pretty is by no means a drawback to the act.
 "Nonette", the wonderful violinist, has captivated Bridgeport both by the charm of her music and the charms of her person. She appears in a striking gypsy costume and pays and sings the most fascinating music.
 Krempka Brothers have torn away from the traditional act of the stage acrobat and have an offering replete with novelty of setting and sensation aTsm of feats. They do some of the most wonderful tumbling stunts ever seen on the stage and it is small won der that they are applauded to the echo.
 The Monarch Comedy Four we'll de- serves it's tit'e of comedy four'', and every audience is sure to enjoy the fun offered by this pleasing quartet. Then there are the OKaros, novelty entertainers, with a score of clever tricks, and finally, the Electrogra ph, with new and pleasing motion rIc- lures, and Po,i's orchestra, with catchy music, to round out this splendid bill.
 Owing to the extra attractions at -Poi's this week and the holiday crowds generally, the theatre is being sold out very rapidly for the remain der of the week and the wise ones will order their seats as early as pos Sible

The object of the circular is to draw the attention of the agriculture press, of the agricultural and horti- cultural associations and individuals to the need of such legislation, and to enlist their support.
 The following are the principal rea- sons urged for the passage of the act
 l. The United States is the only great power without protection from he importation of insect infested ol diseased plants.

2 A large percentage of the sm- ported insect pests and plant diseases in this country have been brought in on imported stock. Among those re- gently so introduced are the San Jose scale, and in New England the bro VI, tail moth, and in past years, more than 50 per cent. of the major fruit and crop pests and plant diseases which now infest this country.
 3. The losses occasi oned by these imported pests, now amount to hun dreds of millions of dollars every year, the San Jose scale alone costing ap- nroXlma ely S1Q,O00,000 year, and these losses will remain as continu- ing annual tax on agriculture.

Berlin. Dec. 20-Whose got .Ambas- sador John c. Leishman's gold braid- edsr court trousers and what is the American diplomat going to wear to the court ball on Dec. 29. That is the question that is causing no end of f--excitement in the American Em- bassy. Recently Leishman went to London and ordered an outfit from the court tailor. When the apparel ar rived here he found that the coat. wafstcoat, coc'oed hat and sword were aIIs that could be desired but the tr6users-there was the rub. They were so tight that anything might happen in a bow to the Kaiser. The trousers were sent back to London, where they were hurriedly recon- stFucted The tailor expressed them to Berlin but they failed to reach their destination. It is too late to get another pair from London and Letshman cannot get another pair here that will match his coat. Hence the worry.

The former threatens the pine forests of the coun- try, and the latter has put an end to potato culture in large districts in Eu- rope, where it has gained a foothoid

The government is now appropriating s300,- coo annually in an effort merely to control the brown tail and efpsy moth, in a small section of New England, and the New England states them selves are spending upwards of $1,OOO,-

TOBACCO is GOOD
USED IN MODERATION

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
God pity the man who makes a curse
of every blessing: stumbling block
Of every stepping stone!
Tobacco in any form, used moderate
iy. is a blessing, which men in every
class of life appreciate. from the poor
to the idle rich. 1t is a balm for ach-
ing muscles-a rest to the eyes. and
brings pea,e and quiet to the nerves.
You will find people so prejudiced
against the smoker that they will claim
that smoking denotes lack Of sense or
ability, but our great men prove the
contrary. 1t Is not the use but the
abuse of tobacco which causes deatf
and the lesser evils. II you stop u
consider for moment you will see
that death Is the price of life which
we all must pay, and the fanatic who
holds the smoker in adherence mus.
pay his debt even though he is temper
ate in everything and forgoes all Cf
lifes pleasures.
You who have not tasted of misfor-
tune, have seen naught of death and
have known as yet no danger-you CALI
not appreciate. To you smoking is an
idle waste of money and a menace to
the world. So is intemperance in eat
ing. drinking or sleeping.
Brave men have gone out Of l'fe with
smile on their faces and a cigar be-
tween their lips.
Take your crouch to a quiet corner

wrong-debts are due-desperation tugs

was particularly interested in let
ter yesterday from A. l.. L., in which
the writer called attention to the fact
that the cab horses at the station plaza
are without protection against the
weather. l see no reason why the mad
automobile craze should result in the
neglect and mistreatment of these dumb
but willing servants of man. Most of
these animals appear to be overworked
by long hours Of standing. and under
fed
In my opinion 1t is the duty of the
Humane Society to see that some~kind
of a protection is begun at once, and
also to see that the horses are not

hours a day and that they receive an
ample supply of food. A, M. +.

03 per cent of the advance is traced
directly to the higher price of spruce
wood.
Director Thickens, of the laboratory,
declares that further experiments are
to be made, with lodgepole pine, West.
ern yellow pine, Western larch, West.
ern hemlock, white and red fir. Big
consignments of these woods have been
ordered, and experiments already start
ed lead to the belief that these woods
will yield to the efforts of the expert
menters.
The woods mentioned grow in vast
quantities in Montana, Oregon, and
Washington, and most of them are OF
small commercial value. 1t is, there
fore, believed quite possible that big
section of the paper industry may
presently migrate to the West, and
that there is excellent prospect for
reduction, or certainly for check
in the advance of prices. =.
Scientific inquiry and experiment
thus appears in the way of solving one
more of the economic problems. The
work has been done under direction OF
the Department of Agriculture, whose
contributions to practical science have
already been so notable and of such
inestimable value.

FOR OPENING UP 10TH ST.

Nineteenth street is to be opened UP
from Columbia road to Biltmore street.
This will benefit the property on each
side of the extension and to a remote
extent some of the nearby streets In
the name of decency and common sense,
however, why is it that property across
the Calvert street bridge, or at it's west
end. Is to be assessed to pay for this
extension? Such an assessment, no
less than a rank imposition, this es-
pecialIy in view of the fact that the
Commissioners. of this, the best gov
mark sit idly by and allow every ak

others 10 fix the limit of city deliveries
at the east end Of this bridge. Some
