MADE PERMANENT
BYCOMMERCE COURT

Washington, Dec. ia final decree
was entered by the commerce court
making permanent the temporary in
junction heretofore granted to restrain
the interstate commerce commission
from enforcing its order for material
reductions in transcontinental rate
cases. This action is more less formal
as the government already has appe al
ed to the supreme court.
Solicitor Lehman today asked the
supreme court TO advance the case
early for hearing. 1t involves the con-
stitutionality of the long and short
haul contract of 1910.

a Postal Surplus.
For the first time since 1883 the an

amounted to $2S7 1878, 1926 and the ex-

to the extent of $17,47S.77O.47. which
was decidedly the largest deficit on
record. In the brief space of two

into substantial surplus.

The following written by Ed Howe
gives his experiences rchearsing 1.-THE

town to try on a new suit 1 ordered

at Topeka; play actingH
The first rehearsal of the new play
was held at p. m. of that day, at
time When I walked into the Majes-
tic theater, the actors were waiting in
the lobby. One thing actors never
neglect, they say: they are always on
time at rehearsals. We walked through
the dark auditorium up to the stage,
which was brightly lighted. Workmen
were busy in the body of the house,
on the stage and under it. The stage
was bare, the scenery having been re-
moved for some purpose. Robert Blay-
lock, the dramatic director of the
North Bros. Stock Co., had laid out the
scenery of the play on the great, bare
stage, with sticks and chairs. as chill
dren construct playhouses.
It was strange experience for me,
for 1 had never before seen a re-
hearsal, to say nothing of the expert
ence of rehearsing a play of my own.

noticed that every actor had a
"cue book" in his hand. We also
made these "cue books" and it was
hard work. I became so confused and
irritable in working on the "cue
books" that 1 walked around the
house several times, to recover my
composure. A "cue book is a book
containing every line spoken by an
actor. Just above every speech is the
cue word: the word which gives him
notice to speak. Here is an example:
IS at the door
Clinton Bragg! (Agitated.) Let him
come I'M
The first line is the cue; the follow
ing line is the speech of Mattel"
And so it goes throughout the play:
every actor has three "cue books;
one for each act. And the cue books
were very hard to make. But, after
completing them, we proved" them
up by the original manuscript. and
there were few errors. Adelaide
helped me with the "cue books" and
wherever a mistake came out at the
rehearsal, 1 laid it on her; she was
sitting on a stage sofa. back of the
playhouse where the rehearsal was
taking place. Once, when there was
delay, owing to a mistake in the
cue books, Sport North, who wa.
"on" as big ADAM" turned to AIDE

the close of the third and last act, 1
went down in front, and sat alone in
the darkness to witness the closing
scene of the play; where "MateeP'
comes in from a sick bed, and sees her
husband sitting at a table. She believes
him to be stubborn, sitting alone, as he
has done so frequently before. But the
man is more than stubborn now; dead.
Tie audience knows it, but poor, IN
happy ''Mateel'' does not. So she comes
YEARLY down the stairway, and slowly
and timidly approaches joe; zoe"
who is dead, but she believes him to be
alive. Then she speaks lines that have
always affected me deeply When I
wrote them at home, alone. I shed
tears. 1t seems to me to be such sad
story; SO pitiful This closing
act is called 1.-THE History of Mis-
take Joe has just told the audience
how much he loved 'Matee1," but how
misfortune logged him until he be-
came stubborn; desperate; crazed. But
he always loved Mattel he said, be-
fore he died. So poor tMateel'
comes timidly and YEARLY down the
stairway to coax stubborn, unhappy
"Joe'' to let her remain at home; to let
her remain with him, and see If they
can't be happy: they have both been so
wretched. This scene closes the play.
