Miss Farnan was 'sImogen Parrott'' In Trelawney of the Wells'', so suc- last spring and will be remembered for her clever portrayal of that role. She has had experience in other amateur thea tricals and it is the general opin- ion that her work on Dec. 2 will ba near that of a. professional. She makes much Of small opportunities and rises to great height in her in terpretation of a woman with newly acquired wealth who to use the ver- nacular is putting into society,"
 The first act of the comedy affords opportunities to wear some. fetchine costumes. for it is the scene of 9 fashionable wedding reception. The bride. Jimmy, is in her white satin and her five attendants in dresses of as many shades Of old rose chiffon over white satin, each girls rress and accessories being a tint deeper than the others. The next act takes place in Rome and is in the summer so the attire will be in keeping with in gay New York and the costumes represent the taste of the ultra veal thy. Hats they say always put the finashing touch to lady,g toilette. have kindly furnished some of their imported models. So 1t can plainly be seen that this particular phase has been carefully and tastefully arranged for.
 Built upon the success of Ire Iawney of the Wells, which was the clubs drst offering, the play this year is bound to prove an even greater suc- cess, for experience is a great teacher and the errors made then will not oc- cur this time. The long list of pat ronesses assures the club of the SUD- port of the ctiy's most prominent peo- pie and those who witnessed the tri- unnph of last May will be anxious to see the next efforts of the players.
 The plays of Clyde Fitch, the author of ''The Girl With the Green Eyes. have been ever popular because of their bright and witty dialogue, apropos sayings, characters true to life and stories most entertaining. One of the playwright's main merits was an extraordinary quick and accurate observation of the details of everyday life. His outlook was spontaneous and fresh; he went to life itself for his materials he saw and reproduced directly with no suggestion of the second hand. All of which is plain ly observant in the play the Alumni Drama Club has chosen for presenta- tion on Dec. 2.

One Excaptiem.

There are so many ways of offending a waiter at a big restaurant that it seems difficult to think up a new one. but a customer who Iunched at a fa- nous hosteIry achieved 1t. Being in a sentimental. contemplative mood. the customer remarked. .'I suppose people from every country under the sun dine here. eh ?''
 'sIt is depressing to reflect on the generations that have sat at these old tables." the customer resumed dream fly ..Old and young. grave and gay, from far and near. rich and poor
 At that point in the reverie the wait CT fiared up indignantly. Mot poor" he corrected .'It costs money to eat in this place.
 Then he presented the bill. and the customer agreed that it did.-New York Press.

The genius in tailoring aceomplishes without effort things that refuse to yield to the most determined efforts of the ordinary mortal. He apparent ly creates out of nothing. His touch transforms the shape of the customer and the set of the garment. He molds the ungainly form into an Apollo. and the misfit garment falls into natural place in his hands. The lines of his draft are unapproachabie. and his sys- tenn is fnfallibie. He knows just when the shoulder is to be advanced or re- ceded He understands intuitively just how much the waist fs to be sup pressed or filled in and how much spring Is required. He never rDa kes a mista takeSand if the journeyman ruins a garment beyond repair in the mak- ing the genius sets 1t right with few touches. even though to repair ie ig beyond the ordinary cutters skill Tailor and Cutter.

Automatic Fire Doors.

The construction of a fire door and It's installation may be standard in ev- cry way. hut for the door to be of serv- ice it must be closed at the time of fire. As employees of plant cannot always be depended upon to close the doors of the plant. because of panic or other reasons. fire doors should be either self closing or automatic. self closing door is one which closes by itself as soon as a person has passed through. This door Is normally always closed and never should be allowed to be blocked open. The automatic type is held open by means of weight or catch. which has connected with it q series of fusibie links. Tn cases of fire the solder on one or more of the fusfbie links melts from the heat. releases the weight or catch. and the door closes. This type of door should be employ ed wherever 1t is necessary for the door to be kept open at times. but oth- erwise the self closing door Is prefer able.-F P. Walther in the Engineer Ing Magazine.

Sailors, Queer Customs.

The sailors broad collars were de-
 vtsed so that the powder or tar on the wearer's cues should not come of on the blonses. In those days every sailor wore his hair in a cue and either had the cue powdered or held together by tar. This was not good for the blouse or jacket underneath. Sc de- tachable broad collars were added Sailors stopped wearing cues . cen tury ago. But they still wear the wide collar. When Lord Nelson died the British navy went into mourning for him. Sailors put broad black rib bons on their caps and black ribbons on their biouseS- And the ribbons re- main to this day not only on the uni forms of British sailors. but on those of other navies as we'll The broad 'beil shaped" ends Of sailors trousers legs were thus shaped so that the wearer might more easily turn his trousers up above his knees when he had to swab the decks. Deck swab- ping was a hateful and supposedly de- grading task Hence the sailors call ed their enemies ''swahs~ as a term of contempt

Lunar Athletics.

The s'man in the moon'' must surely regard with amused contempt our much vaunted athletic records. A good ter restrial athlete could cover about 12O feet on the moon in a running broad jump. while ieaping over the barn would be a very commonplace feat. He would find no difficulty in carrying six times as much and running six times as fast as he could on earth. all because the moon attracts bodies with but one sixth of the force of the earth.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May %. -
with the California delegation, ex.
cepting Kent, voting solidly for free
tolls for American COastwisc shipping
through the Panama Canal, the House
today adopted the DOremus amend.
ment to the canal bill providing this
by vote of 147 to 1875, and afterward
passed the bill which has been dis.
Cussed for almost week
The strenuous work of the Califor.
mans, led by Knowland and Kahn
helped to defeat the stubborn efforts
Of Chairman AdamsOn and members
Of the House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce who were bit.
tcrly opposed to free tolls.
Kent again distinguished himself by
voting with the opponents of free
tolls, as he did in the vote in commit
tee of the whole.
The DOremus amendment gives O
free canal to all coastwise ships fiying
the American flag. This amendment
will insure to shippers on the Pacific
and Atlantic coasts protection against
excessive freight rates which other
wise might be eXacted by the trans
continental railroads.
Railroad Ships Barred.
Equally important was the reten
tiOn by the House of the clause in the
bill advocated by the committee that
places complete embargo on passage
of ships through the canal owned OF
controlled, directly or indirectly, by
railroads or corporations affiliated
with railroads. Under this provision
no railroad can own stock in a steam
ship line with which II completes. This
section, besides barring from the ca
nal railrOad-owned or railrOad.Con
trolled ships also gives authority tC
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to judge when railroad Is trying tC
stiflc competition by owning steam
ships An effort to amend this sec
ton, offered by Representative BrOus
sard so that II would apply only tC
Panama Canal traffic, was defeated
200 to G3.
