for the many laughable and amusing
complications The reason is that it
excites laughter. and is cure for all
ills, if taken in time and in sufficient
doses.
One does not have to be told to
laugh. Ridiculously funny situations
punctuated by the wittiest of dialogue,
bring the most obstinate smiles to the
surface.
The comedy tells a story of compli-
cations which are apparently serious
to the characters involved; a serious
ness that is an absurdity to the audi
ence.

"MIss NOBODY FROM sTARLANor

miss Nobody From Starland," said
to be the best and most unique mu-
steal revue production that has ever
been exploited, full of novel situations,
two dozen big features, all of which
are innovations in musical comedy.
Every dramatic critic in Chicago
was loud in praise for Miss Nobody
from Starland," and exclaimed that it
was the best creation of the Hough
Adams and Howard trio.
Seldom have playgoers been invited
to look at play so beautifully cos
tuned, so handsomely staged and 50
brilliantly cast as miss Nobody from
Starland." The scenery and the cos
tunes are exquisite. 1t is frankly the
most expensive production of modern
times.

PEARY SAYS HE WAS THERE.
North Pole Explorer Gives Testimony
to Congress Committee.

Armed with what his friends declare
ample proof that he had been to the
north pole, Captain Robert E. Perry
appeared Saturday before the subcom-
mittee on private bills of the house on
naval affairs and submitted evidence
lie appeared in connection with the bill
for recognition of his services.
For the most part the members of
the subcommittee were convinced be-
fore he appeared that he had reached
the pole. But it was deemed best to
head off any charge on the floor of the
house that his promotion had been rec
commended without consideration of the
evidence. Moreover, two members of
the subcommittee were well known to
be hostile to Peary's claims as an ex,
plorer-Representatiyes Moon of Ar
kansas and Roberts of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Macon insists that if Peary be rec
ognized and promoted then DR.. Cook
ought to be.
In spite of this the feeling of the
committee generally is favorable to
Peary and the opinion was expressed
among members of the subcommittee
that there was to be legislation for his
promotion along the lines recommended
by the president and secretary of the
navy. In the hearing Captain Peary was
subjected to close questioning by the
committee. He told in frank and
straightforward manner about his polar
trips.

to whether grammar school girls
should have physical exercise, was a

Professor Tyler said too much exer-

men," he continued, yet there is a
high death rate among girls from four
teen to eighteen"
The day for heavy exercises for
women has not gone by" said Doctor
Sargent, following. at has just come
in. When your little girl begins to
climb fences and trees you don't want
to tell her not to do heavy work; that
is what she should be doing. Women
have just as many muscles as men,
and there is no reason why they
should not use them. We are still af-
ficted with the impression that it is
