ment as showgirl, with a few lines to

Here. in this huge Broadway produc-
ton. I found at first no trace of poverty.
The dressing-roCms seemed to reflect the
care-free atmosphere Of the gay mu-
sical comedy which all New York ap-
proved One must actually play in a
METROPOLITAN production to realize the
peculiar, exhilarating influence Of big
box-office receipts on the so-called artistic
temperament For a time the reflection
Of that magic word success" blinded me
to the real life of this new class Of
chorus singers with whom 1 found my
self.
The Glasses of Chorus Girls.
Or, perhaps, more correctly speaking,
they should be divided into three classes,
graded according to their salaries and
their estimated value to the management.
In the first class were the show girls,
eight of us turned loose in a large, dain-
tily tinted dressIng-room. Of the eight,
three of us were understudies, fighting
for managerial recognition. The other
five sang in the chorus to kill time.
Each had her maid and each came to the
theater in her own motor ear or In
taxicab from the richly appointed apart
ment of which she was the lonely mis-
tress.
Their saIaries-s25 a week-went for
maid service, tips, silk stockings, and
other trifes which the management eX-
pected them to furnish. Their dressing
tables were heaped with costly trinkets
Of silver and cut glass. Orchids bloomed
and died on their rich furs. When not
on the stage they ate bonbons, read
: best Sellers" and sent their maids out
for soft drinks, ranging from ginger ale
| to vichy and milk.
Devoid of professional ambition, they
did not quarrel. They were beautiful
and bored. Nothing more! And one of
them said: Whats the use of getting
excited when you've made your killing?"
What, indeed!
The dressing room at the other end of
the corridor was given over to the twelve
| Squads" foolish young things, barely
beyond the Jurisdiction OF the Gerry So
ciety. How they had slipped away from
maternal guardianship heaven alone
knows, and they spent their salaries,
twenty a week, on cheap fneIy and
cheaper quarters in typical theatrical
boarding-houses.

Lieut.. Col. S. E. Smiley, the adjutant
general; Col. Charles II. Ourand, First
Infantry, and Lieut.. Col. Anton Stephan,
Second Infantry, delegates from the Dis
trict militia, returnedl last week from
the National Guard convention in Buffalo,
which WAS held October 8, 10, and II in
the Sixty-fifth Regiments armory.
The National Guard convention was a
very successful one" Lieut. Col. Smiley
said upon his return. Probably the most
important matter discussed was that OF
the militia pay bill. 1t was arranged to
continue the efforts being made to i'm
press Congress with the utmost impor-
tance OF the bill, which. in brief, simply
provides Federal pay for armory work.
The delegates were unanimous in the
belief that the bill will pass. 1t was
pointed out by the delegates that the
guardsmen receive pay equivalent to the
regular army while in the field, such as
maneuvers or annual camps, and that 1t
is only right that they should receive
such pay for armorY work as well.
Lieut. Col Smiley was enthusiastic In
speaking of the armory of the Sixty-ffth
Regiment. He declared it to be one Of
the finest in the United States, II not IN
the world.

mandIng, spent several days last week

WON'T GET THE PENSION
Veteran Tescho-s at Ames and Cedar
Falls Not Eligible to Carnegie Pen
sions - state University Only iowa
School Benefited.

Special to Tires-Republican.
Des Moines, May 26.-The Iowa
State Teachers College and the Iowa
State College Of agriculture and me-
chanic arts will not be 'Carnegieized.
It IS recalled that there was a great
outcry against the legislative proposal
to change the name OF the old state
normal school TO teachers: College"
which was done for the purpose of en-
aiding that institution to get in under
the provisions of the Carnegie cou1-
dation 50 that veteran professors could
be retired on pensions. When the
change was made it was supposed py
the legislat tors that this would be suf-
fcient, with raise in the standards, to
bring the college under the founda-
ton.
1t seems, however, that under rule
of the Carnegie board only one state
institution in state can be brought
under the foundation. AS the state
university claims this honor, 1t will
stand alone as a state institution Of
Iowa having the benefits Of he Carnegie
fund.
The state college at Ames, by claim
ing to be an integral part Of the uni
versity scheme, may get in under the
wire, but that is the only way.
This situation will prove a great dis
appointment to many of the veteran
educators Of the state teachers college.

Rubber From Scans.

It has taken the Germans to use
beans for making rubber. The process
has Just been patented. It consists In
extracting third OIL from the soya
bean. treating this with nitric acid,
and then heating the material TO a
given temperature. whereupon It be-
comes rdscid and tough like crude rub
Der. It can then be vulcanized by the
addition Of sulphur and used for the
same purposes.
Various other processes for produc-
ing artificial rubber have failed to be
adopted in practice owing to the high
cost Of operation. It remains to be
seen. therefore. whether the soya rub

to compete with the natural rubber.
