AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Good Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.

The Auditorium presents an enter taining bill of vaudeville and motion pleasures for the first three days of the week, and good sized houses greeted the opening performances Monday The Mankichi Brothers have an acrobatic novelty which includes many noval features which win the appreciation of the audience. Clever balancing and some new stunts with a barrel are contributed by two of the brothers, while the others give a good exhibition of sleight of hand work.
 Will Davis has a clever line of mon ologue comedy and his jokes made a hit with the audience. Teh third num- Der of the bill is the comedy act, Schultz the Shoemaker, which gives opportunity for some neat character portrayal.
 Among the excellent photoplays on the bill is a 101 Bison film, The Other Girl, another tale of life in the far west

Buckley among the clerks, and of the carriers Frank E.. SterTy, Myles B. O'Sullivan, John w. Haselden, Albert A. Guile and John l.. Counihan.
 The bulletin announces the passage of the Reilly eight hour bill, framed by Congressman Thomas L. Reilly of Meriden, and providing for clerks and carriers ding their eight hours a day within ten consecutive hours. In other WI 0o 'A iACeiAiS bAAe1L 4lOl HUI Q Ulldll ten hours shall elapse between the time a clerk or carrier goes to work and the time he quits
 As it is now. while a clerk or car rier may not work but eight hours a day, those eight hours may be stretched along through 12 or IS hours For instance a carrier may go to work at 6 a. m. and not quit until 8 or p. m. and still work only eight hours.
 This bill becomes effective March 4, 1913 Until then the present system will continue.
 Another bill. whose passage this bulletin announces, is the Lloyd auti- gag bill. This bill insists upon each postal employe being given a written copy of the charges against him and a chance to reply in writing to the charges before dismissal from the service. Heretofore it was possible to discharge a postal empIoye with out giving reasons or giving the em- ploye a chance to reply to the charges.
 Another bill passed forbids the postal employees belonging to any or ganization which is formed with the idea of ever going on strike, Some time ago 4,000 postal clerks withdrew from the clerks association and formed an independent organization which is affiliated with the American

ANcIsNT scorcH sun pIAL
Has Twelve Hour Planes and Two
Circular Ones for Summer
and Winter.

Record is contained in the Bible
Of a sun dial set up in III B. G. by
Ahaz, to commemorate the miracu-
lous healing Of his son, Hezeliah.
A very ancient one was recently dis
covered lying in the grounds Of the
ruined castle Of Finlarig, KILN,
Perthshire, Scotland, the ancient
seat of the Breadalbanes. Unlike
most dials, it has twelve planes for
recording the hours and two circular
planes for use in summer and winter
respectively. For many centuries
the occupants Of the castle deci-
phered its many angles as it stood
reared on tall pedestal, reflected in
the waters Of a fountain. The inter-
val of nearly 1000 years between
this dial and that set up by Ahaz
shows for how long the dial held its
own as an object Of utility.

URGES BIG CHANGE.
English Journal Advocates Let
ting Women Woo.
Custom Of the Present Day ls a Cause
Of Much Real Misery In Mar
rled Life, Is the Declaration
That ls Made.

Surely the most foolish OF all the
many foolish conventions that ruin
human joy is the decree that women
must wait passively to be wooed. Now.
why should they? Why can't they be
natural and honest and show their feel.
ings? Why must they be compelled to
act an Indifference quite foreign to
them. Perhaps some of you hold with
Shaw and Shakespeare that they don't
walt to be wooed. Some Of them GER
tafnly don't. Generally speaking, how
ever, few women even nowadays have
the pluck to go dead against a conven-
ton of this sort, which has such a ire.
mendously strong hold on the mascu-
line sense of fitness.
II woman's charm is to depend on
this idiotic convention that men have
created around her-namely, chat she
is perfectly cold, passive, negative
creature who waits in state of sus-
pended animation, as It were, until
man condenscends to make her come
alive-the sooner the modern fem
inists invent some more reasonable
tradition of charm the better for us
all
Now, let us suppose a couple that
has overcome all the initial obstacles.
They have managed the difficult task
of finding each other, have got their
declaration over, and are safely en-
gagged. What happens next? Every
possible thing that can be done to
create an illusion around them Is
done. They are encouraged to meet
often, but the conditions under which
they meet are as different as can be
from the conditions of their future
married life. Does that man ever see
that girl in any kind of negligee, or
does she see him unshaved, say?
Does he have any experience of how
she will run house or manage af-
fairs? Does she have any chance of
finding out that he's faddy about food,
or mean about money?
These are material things, It is true,
and therefore not of the first impor-
lance; but, on the other hand, what
chance do they have either to discover
each others spiritual state? Don't
| they, as a rule, act and sham all
through, and dress up for each other
and spend their time under the most
artificial conditions, pleasure seeking1
Are they ever encouraged to have
earnest conversations with each 9th
er to discuss the more serious aspects
of their future life together? No, the
entire business is conducted in the
most absurdly irresponsible, once-mar
ried-we1l-shake-do spirit
which would be comical but for the
fact that the results are often 81
deeply tragical.-London Chronicle.
