despite a rain coming up in the middle
OF it. The version used by the Coburn
Players Is that of Prof Gilbert Murray,
who has translated the lines of Euripides
into English rhyming verse.
The revival Of interest in the play is
due to a great extent to the music set
ting given It by Richard Strauss, pro-
duced a few times in New York and
Philadelphia last winter. The Coburn
Players use Mr.. Murray's version, which
Is nearer to the spirit OF the original
Greek than any translation heretofore

Lieutenant Colonel Langfitt has made
report to the Senate District Commit
tee against the bill authorizing the
Georgetown Gas Light Company to lay
a gas main along Conduit road from
Foxhall road to the District line. Lieu
tenant Colonel Langfitt holds that the
laying of the main and putting in OF
cross sections would have destructive
gerous to the safety of the aqueduct and
the water supply of Washington.
General Bixby, chief Of engineers,
concurs in the report. In view of the
objections raised by the army engineer

How American Women
May Keep Faces Young

"The American smart woman ages
early, far earlier than the English wom-
an" says Christian Miller, F. c. l., the
famous health expert. She adds that
our climate 80 exhilarates that you
over-exert yourselves and grow old be-
fore you know 1t. That same exhila-
rating air dries the skin. The skin that
lacks moisture grows pale and withered
looking and soon forms wrinkles
THE American complexion" is best
treated by applying pure mercolized
wax, which causes the faded, lifeless
cuticle to fiake of in minute particles, a
little each day, until the fresh. young
skin beneath is wholly in evidence.
Every druggist has this wax; one ounce
is sufficient. Spread on at night like
cold cream. washing 1t off next morn
ing.
For wrinkles, dissolve an ounce of
powdered saxolite in a half pint witch
hazel; bathe the face In this. lmmedi-
ately every wrinkle is affected, even
the deeper lines. Both treatments are
remarkable facial rejuyenators.

Audacious Experiments.
Some of the most audacious musical
experiments that the theater has seen
were first tried at the Lambs Club.
Many an actor condemned by precedent
and habit TO one line of character finds
his emancipation through some bold
essay before this generous and keenly
appreciative audience. 1t is this side of
the old clubs activity that comes
somewhat near justifying the claim of
its members that the Lambs Club is
and always will be the real national
theater of America, no matter what
palatial playhouses may be builded with
that intent.

race
M. J. Bowling of Olivia made a
good showing in Redwood Falls and
got nice vote through the entire
district but his late advent into the
contest made it impossible for him
to break up the Volstead machine
and the Granite Falls man was re-
turned for another term.
MRS. PRATT LEADS
The victory of Mrs. Adella G.
Pratt was not unexpected. She has
made strong and winning canvass
of the entire county and there were
hundreds of people warmly working
for her. The main surprise came in
this city which she carried by a big
vote. 1t was expected she and II. j.
Bebermeyer would break about even
here. Both namesgo on the regular
ballot unless Mr.. Bebermeyer de-
l, cides to withdraw.

twice as many votes as M. E. Math-

One of the fercest battles in the
history of Minnesota was fought
yesterday under favorable weather
conditions, at the first state wide
primary election.
SECOND CHOICE NOT USED
A vote larger than expected,
though not full vote, was polled,
but there was comparatively little
use made of the second choice fea-
ture of the new primary law.
1t was evidently the failure to use
this that gave Governor Eberhart
the decided advantage and returns
him a winner for the republican
nomination.
BURNQUIsT FOR SECOND PLACE
J. A. A. Burnquist, St. Paul, was
an easy winner over D. M. Neil of
Red Wing, as had been confidently
expected. Neil was not in the run
