EAT GUM OFF STAMPS.
Efforts Made to Curb Appetite of
Water Bugs.

postmaster General Hitchcock is cast
ing about for some means to curb the
Eoracious appetite OF water bugs for the
gum on the backs of postage stamps. Oc-
casionally complaints are received that
amps do not stick to envelopes The
reason almost always is that the greater
part, If not all. of the gum on the backs
has been eaten off by these bugs. Thus
far It las been an unsolvablc puzzle how
TO stop this chronological theft Mr.
Hitchcock has given the strictest orders
that no poison of any kind tending to kill
or drive away the bugs be put in the gum
He feels that il is better for a part OF
the stamps 10 go gumless than for any
person to run the risk Of being poisoned
from moistening the backs Of stamps
Nor is any bug poison permitted to be
placed near the stamps for tie same rea :

keep down the number of the pests but 1t

Clyde Fitch's comedy of money and

shown last night at the Columbia The
alter to be no great match for the capa-
bilities of the Columbia Players. The
romance that runs through the four acts.

the pigeon English OF some of the lines
furnished enjoyment and amusement IN
plenty for an audience that was enthu-

the handsome costumes and beautiful
stage settings were a match for the bril-
liant portrayals of the roles by every
member OF the company.
This play gives both Frances Nelson
and Edwin II. Robins opportunity in
they have many times shown rich capa-
bility; and the love scenes between them
were deliciously pleasant parts of the

Robins was the straightforward lover.

portrayal Of the frivolous. fiirtatious and

Especially dro.l stage business kept the
audience in roar of laughter during
the first part OF the third act in picturing
the morning after big party in honor
OF the Crown Prince of Eastphalia. Miss
Hemng was charmingly vivacious in the

bier was entirely at ease as the title
hunting millionaire. Julia Blanc easily
made the transition from the ginghams
