that has captured the East as well as
the West. Before his New York triumph
he had played in nearly every city. big

lar in Texas and California as he Is in
New York or Chicago. There never was
an audience that refused TO laugh and
applaud when Eddie Foy turned his IA

footlights. He is as eccentric as Paris

as George Cohan's, and In his methods
he defies imitation or analysis. In over

admirers have eve. seen him play since
he convulsed audiences the country over

FR0HMAN HAS PERFECTED
BIG THEATRICAL COMBINE

Charles Frohman arrived in New York
recently after a stay of many months
abroad. A few hours after reaching his
Offices at the Empire Theater Mr.. Froh-
man said: IT have had a busy time

season was most successful
But the principal achievement of my
trip is the perfecting OF contracts where

the leading continental cities. which will
enable my companies to play over a Eu-
ropean territory similar to that repre-
scented by the principals cities in the
United States The cities embraced in
new plan include Paris. Vienna, Berlin,
Munich, Dresden. Budapest Lyons, Mar
settles. Frankfort. and Brussels. Not only
will the managers OF the leading theaters
in these cities provide bookings for my
companies. but they will be interested
financially with me in the tours made by
the companies over the entire territory
named.
This project has long been a favored
one with me, but its consummation was
not possible until this year. Through
this arrangement, just as In America,
the leading cities and towns are booked
with attractions hero IN New York, so
the leading continental cities will here
after be booked with attractions from
my offices in the Globe Theater. London.
When my companies have finished their
runs in London they will be sent In their
entirety to the continental cities. And
Furthermore, when a French company or
play has exhausted its Paris run, Il will
also be seen over this new circuit. In
this way the continent will be supplied

THE POWER DAM.
Over One Hundred Men Hard at
Work Completing Big
Structure.

We made trip down to the site
OF the new power dam of the Upper
Iowa Power Co. the other day. and
was very much interested in noting
the immensely of the work being
done there. The power house and
two piers have been put in, and the
Golfer dam is built and work started
on the west side of the dam, which
is much the faster and lesser part of
the work. The top part of the power
house is of brick, and on the east
side, next the hill, is a good fishway.
On the bed of the river between the
piers and under the gates, a concrete
apron, an immense affair, extends
down stream, to carry off the water
running through the dam to the
river bed below and break the fall.
over one hundred men are now
working on the dam, and it is a
busy place. 1t looks like a
small town. We were informed that
the work would be pretty well along
In another month. The two big water
wheels are already in place in the
power house, and the rest of the ma
chlnery will be installed as rapidly
as possible.

High School Oyerdressing.

Waterloo Reporter: There is a.
tendency On the part of TIE older
high school pupils to over-dress and
adopt the styles and fashions that
make them seem more mature in
nature and appearance. The younger
pupils are quick to initiate the dress
and manners of their older school
mates. This leads them into indis-
cretions and robs them of an import
ant Part of childhood. The expense
OF over-dressing falls heavily upon
most families and tends to discour-
age many parents from keeping their
children in school,"
These assertions are made in a cir
cular of information just issued for
free distribution by the United States
bureau of education, which deals
with an educational experiment at
Dayton, Ohio, whereby the school
children are segregated in a special
high school for their first year after
graduation from grammar school.
In this school," says the circular Of
information, there are no older
pupils, and the simplicity of child
hood is maintained in dress and man
ner for another year. The children
are able to develop more naturally
without the influence of older
pupils
The bureau of education's circular
Of information was written by j. III.
Painter, principal of the first year
high school at Dayton, and is of
great interest and value to teachers,
school boards and all who
nave to do with the public schools of
our country.
