AMBASSADOR HERRIcK
 IS SELF MADE MAN

Myron lIerrick, former gOver- nor of Ohio, and who has just been confirmed in the appoint menL as ambassador to France to succeed Robert Bacon, is self made man, having began life as a peddler of dinner bells to the farmers throughout inc north ern section of Ohio. With this money he was able to complete his course as a student at Ober- lin college. Tn 1878, after sever al years of study of law, he was admitted to the bar, and for eight years pursued the profession. Be- fore abandoning it, however, he became interested in the organ izatiOn of a national bank, Of which he became the cashier, dis playing an aptitude for banking matters that attracted attention among his associates, and in 1886 he became the treasurer of the Society for Savings. This bank is peculiar in the fact that it is really owned by the deposit OTIS, and the interest paid to them is the dividend of the bank. Tn 1898 he was chosen as the presi- dent of the bank, succeeding Sam uel Mathcr, it's founder.
 Mir. Herrick has organized many financial interests in Clcye- land, and holds many important interests. He is prominent in railroad affairs, and it was main ly through him that the Wheel ing & Lake Erie system was or ganized. He still retains some of his interests in this road. He served one term as president of the American Bankers Associa- lion.

THE EMPRESS

With a fine assortment of en-
tertainment, the kind that the
regular vaudeville goers enjoy,
the Empress theater opened up it's
new bill yesterday. Acrobatics,
comedy and music furnish most
of the show.
Hugh Lloyd, on the bouncing
rope, is featured. Lloyd does
stunts that are entirely new to
the public and he is a worthy
feature.
Nine. Russe's dogs are well
trained even though the patrons
are little cold toward dog shows.
Harry Brooks and company Of
fer a good little skit called "The
Minstrel Man" The character
of the minstrel is well portrayed.
Thomas Potter Dunn in dialect
and limitations is a scream.
Musette, the little girl who
dances while she plays the violin,
came in for her share of the APP
plause.
Another old form of entertain
ment which is made corking
good act by new twists and dash,
is the wooden shoe dancing of
O'Rourke and O'Rourke.
A new film and selections by
the orchestra complete the bill.

TACOMA

There are good points to be
found in 1.-THE Heart Breakers, "
as the play is presented by
George Damerel and company at
the Tacoma theater, but they
must be sought for with diligence
and hope through wearisome
first act after one has almost be-
gun to doubt.
George Damerel stands out
alone. His song, Your Eyes,
Your Smile and YOU" has one of
those tantalizing airs that hauI1ts
the memory on the way home
and is elusive enough to have
slipped away by morning. Mr..
Damerel has good voice, the
best of the company.
Miss Myrtle Vail is pretty. She
must be pretty for her part. And
she must be innocent and de-
mure, all of which she is, but
Miss Vail is hardly what the aud
fence expected as singer.
AS for the play itself, 1t Is no
vel. Present day fathers do not
as general thing lock their beau
tifuI daughter away in castle,
tell her she is not pretty, make
her read mathematics and history
and geography and travel, and
forbid the presence of young men
on, an occasional evening. Yet
this is what Miss Vail Is up
against.
Mr.. Damerel, ct al, the "et all
being a group of young bachelors
who have been "stung" unmeas-
urably by the fair ones of their
set, finally invade the castle and
Mr.. Damerel triumphs over a
grouchy father and caustic moth
er after the old folks have been
put out of their own home into
the rain and the girl consents to
the proposal of the man she mar
ries, having first seen him over
her right shoulder in the first
mirrow she has ever looked into.

"The Awakening of Helena
Richie" a Pennsylvania romance

September %.
Editor Times: The following
is my solution to the price of the
article:
100 per cent minus 20 per cent
equals rs per cent.
7S per cent equals 100.
l per cent equals 1-7S of 100
or 1.2S.
100 per cent equals 1928 or
9-10.
$40 equals 1928.
Ito equals 10 of 1.28 or LAP.
1910 equals 10 times JAP or
LAP equals al.
LAP minus 81 equals Ill.
10 per cent of Ill equals II.
Ill minus IL equals 81.

Editor Times: Being a little
ambitious on arithmetic / beg to
submit the following answer:
The article costs 81 and we al
low a profit of 10 per cent after
a discount of % per cent for the
cost of selling. Therefore 100
plus 10 is the actual selling price.
Since % per cent Is a discount
We subtract .22 from 100, that Is
loo minus .22 equals rs.
We divide the selling price by
minus the difference.
Answer: $1.41 2-78 or 1.39.
