Public attention in Berlin is being
directed to the wretched pay received
in Germany by provincial theatrical
people. So critical is the position Of
the rank and file of these players that
proposal is even made to fix a min

their condition. In one town in Alsace
player of all branches is required at

advertise their personal charms, their
voice, their handsome and varied
wardrobes, are there by the dozen, and
are willing to take from 70 to 80 marks,
and one man, variously accomplished,
offers his services as a scene painter,

BOYS AND INVENTORS

In every period of the worlds
history the boy has counted for
usefulness.
The twentieth century is no
exception. Two Brooklyn
school-boys-one fifteen and one
sixteen-have effected a wireless
telegraph systm of their own.
these young rivals of Maroon
may be interested to know that
the famous Italian was but four
teen years old when he set up on
poles of various heights his first
crude apparatus, in which tin
biscuit boxes filled important
places.
Lord Armstrong conceived, as
a lad, the idea later developed
into the hydraulic crane. Sam
uel Compton began at sixteen the
work of devising the spinning
mule, which he finished before he
was nineteen. The notion of
the cotton-gin came to Eli Whit
ney when he was thirteen.
Sir John Brown was a lad of
sixteen when he caught the sug-
gestion of the conical spring buff
fer for railway trucks, which
afterwards made him rich.
The list of boy inventors could
be greatly prolonged. There
are infinite possibilities before
the boys who intelligently ask
why and how. Having received
fair answers, they need but pa

MEDY FOR THE PRESENT

men in the streets Of New York, un-
der misapprehension as to their
standing, than ever before in her
recollection.
No matter how we may blame the
unthinking American girl in DON
ming the uniform of her sister of the
underworld, or her careless mother
in her criminal negligence in per-
hitting her daughter to do so Cor,
what is sadder still, dressing her
self in these styles), the right point
Of attack is at the source Of supply.
The Paris dressmaker has become a
degenerate, and as such it is time
that every decent American wom-
an should leave his designs un-
bought. Thousands of clean-mind-
ed and clear-thinking American
women are already doing this. and
the steady trend toward American
fashions for American women, and
the wonderfully rapid spread of
the idea throughout the country,
are the first awakenings of Amer
lean womanhood to the right thing
to do. Nor is this trend confined
to the American woman. The re-
buke being administered to Paris,
which particularly this summer her
dressmakers have felt in a marked
falling off in trade, is worldwide.
In Milan the dressmakers are united
in campaign for Italian fashions
for Italian women; Spain is stand
ing for Spanish fashions for Span
ish women; in Berlin dressmakers'
union has established a school for
German fashions for German wom-
ell; the women of the Netherlands
have absolutely refused to buy
"Paris styles" for over year, and
now comes London in registering an
emphatic disapproval of the Paris
modes.
In the absolute logs of it's once
superb art in dress designing, Paris
is on the wane, and no one realizes
1t more clearly than do her own
couturiers. So alarmed are these
dressmakers over the tide of revolt
in America that three Of their lead
ers came over here during the past
year "to see what was the matter"
The present outburst of indecent
dressing from Paris is the last gasp
of a vanishing art. Paris, as fash
ion center, faces the setting sun.
And never was the time more pro-
pitious for the rising of the sun in
America in a firm and complete es-

adjustment of American fashions
for American women. TO say that
we cannot design our own women s
clothes is idle talk. We can. We
are rapidly accommodating the his
torical works in our libraries and
the paintings in our galleries to fur
nish us with the basis for study the
same as did the Paris designers OF
old. And what we have not here,
we can send our designers to the
Cluny Museum in Paris and to the
great art galleries of the world and
secure. No race is more acknowl-
edgely skillful in the art OF adapta-
ton than are the Americans, and
it is the exercise Of this art that is
called for in dress designing, since
all modern costume must, os neces-
sity, be. and is, based on historical
costume. Paris has always done
this; always adapted; never origi-
mated. Not single original fash
ion, per Sc, has ever come from
Paris-it is always based on the cos
tune of other races and nations,
either past or present.
But the American woman must
give the American designer encour-
agement. She must believe that heI
own designers know her needs, her
temperament, her environment. bet.
ter than do the Partisan designers,
most of whom have never set foot
Oh American soil, and are not only
ignorant Of her but are contemptu-
GUS of her. No Latin race can ever
rightfully dress an Anglo-Saxon peo-
pie; the temperament, the environ
ment, the climate. the needs-all
are different, and it is upon these
that proper costume rests and is
based. Moral conceptions and stand
ards are likewise different. The
fresher American mental outlook
would be absolutely incapable in
thinking in terms Of the present de-
generate fashions; they are the ex
preston of a tainted Latin temper
ament.
Had we years ago, as we are now
doing, taken hold Of the idea of
American fashions for American
women and encouraged and accept
ed it, we should not now be reaping
the whirlwind of a fetish to let a
few commercialists Of disordered
minds, 5000 miles away, say what
our American girls and women
should wear. 1t is our own fault
that we have allowed this spectacle
Of indecent dressing to come upon
up, and it will be our own fault If
we allow it to continue. The rem
edy is perfectly simple-we must
turn away from Paris and the
clothes of her demimonde aud set
about to encourage our own design
ers, our own manufacturers, our
own dressmakers, our own indus
tries. Then we will conserve two
things-own own economic indie
