LLPLAyERS HAVE
 CRAZE FOR STAGE
By JAMES GRANT THURsToN

New York, December 9.--(Special.)-one of the interesting features of the stage this season is the number of baseball stars who are filling in the cold months between seasons in elevating the stage and incidentally raking in few dollars. This is pretty hard on the professionals, who see their opportunities reduced by the men of the mask and glove. but I see no redress for them. unless they get together and form a couple of major ac- tor baseball leagues during the summer months.
 . Az nearly as I can remember Mike Don- lin started this fashion. but now pretty much any man who can hit the baseball for .s2o or better, or who can pitch win ming ball in three quarters of his games, can pick up easy money during the winter on the vaudeville circuit.

If Richard does not have to double in brass and get footsore and wheezy Manhattan fans may see him.

 The acting of Miss Mary Miles Minter, in Edward Peple's civil war drama, "The Littlest Rebel'' at the Liberty theatre, is quite the most attractive feature of the play. Little Miss Minter, who uses the stage name of Juliet Shelby, is only F years old. Pitiful as it is, so often, to see child on the stage, Miss Shelby does so beautifully that one forgets for the moment that the stage is no place for a little girl She was more than child in the theatre; she was little actress, seemingly aware of the necessity of ap- bearing like a child. She has something of the art of the woman who is too clever to reveal to others the fact that she IS perfectly conscious of her own beauty This little child. precoeious as she is, does not give the impression of self conscious ness. She does not play to the audiences she appears unmindful of applause. She
 is real part Of every scene in which she appears
 Practically every person-actor, actress and manager-connected with the stage possesses their own particular pet super stition. Every popular actress has col lection of ''mascots."

Health and Beauty Hints
BY MRS. MAE MARTYR

Mrs. C. A: You are running your hair
using soap for shampoo purposes. The
dandr1ff, and dull. Hfeless, string hair.
For your case. 1 know of nothing bet
ter than a plain canthrox shampoo
This makes an abundance of rich, pene-
trating lather that thoroughly cleanses
and invigorates. You will find on using
this that the hair dries. evenly and
quickly and takes on a rich gloss and
softness- You can get canthrox at the
drug store. and teaspoonful dissolved
in d cup of hot water is enough for
good shampoo.
Eva: 1t is distressing to have a
shiny. muddy skin, but that can be cor
rected if you dissolve four ounces spur
max in onehalf pint hot water and add
two teaspoonfuls glycerine. When cold
apply to the skin and rub lightly until
dry. A few times using cleanses the
skin of impurities and banishes freckles
and tan. You will find this better than
powder as it is invisible when on and
does not rub off spot from perspira-
ton.
Nell: Don't worry about the fnzz on
your chin To rid the skin of the OBJ
jectionable growth get an ounce of
delatone at the drug store and with
water mix some into paste, then ap-
ply to hairy surface and after two or
three minutes, rub off and wash the
skin carefully. While delatone costs
dollar an ounce, it seldom requires a
second application to completely re-
move suoerf1uous hairs.
NJ: Expressive eyes never lack in
brilliancy, yet to keep them so it is
necessary to give them proper care and
attention. Whenever your eyes ache
or grow tired use an eye-tonic. made
by dissolving an ounce of crystos in a
pint of cold water A few drops in each
eye twice daily quickly relieves the
smart or ache and aside from strength
ening the eyes, gives them "a remark

A LARGE BLOCK OF

Stubbornness of House of Lords May
Be Met in This Way.

London, July 17.-An entirely un-
expected contingency confronts the
career of the veto bill tonight. 1t is
possible that the house of lords, in
stead of passing the third reading of

Thursday, thus sending it back to
the house of commons for -considera-
ton, may reject it even with amend
ments. lock. stock and barrel In that
event, Premier Asquith is fully expect
ed to announce, as he probably would,
that he had advised the king to create
a large block of new peers.
The liberal party are no more anX-
ious for an inflated peerage than the
lords themselves are. but will not balk
at the creation of peers if the neces-
sity is forced upon them The par

Blackburn to the liberal followers in
