SOME DRAMAS OF INTEREST AT
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

Bennett, Arnold Milestones, a play in
three acts.
Novel play having as its central idea
the intolerance of age toward the ideals,
ambitions and changed standards of the
younger generations. To the charac-
tiers in the first milestone, 1860, are
added in the second, in 1885, the child
rem, and in the third, in 1912, the grand
children take up the struggle for free
dom of thought and action.
Browne, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
A modern play fashioned after the
model of the ancient morality plays
with characters which symbolic vari-
Gus abstract virtues, vices and condi-
tions.
Galsworthy, John-Eldest son.
Mr.. Galsworthy's ironic attitude to
ward the edicts of conventional English
society receives fresh illumination in
this three act play, recently produced
in London. 1t deals with the "unwrit-
ten law" which when applied to an
underkeeper is one thing, but when in
sisted on by the eldest son Of baronet
is quite another. Each character is
wonderfully alive and significant and
the dialogue is natural without being
trivial or vulgar.
Gregory, Lady-Irish folk history plays.
Numerous and pathetic plays which
picture incidents of Irish life.
Moody, William Vaughn-Poems and
plays.
A complete collection in two volumes
of the authors poems, poetic dramas
and prose plays.
Zangwill, Isreal-Melting pot.

which immigrants from all nations are
to be fused into perfect human type.

with opium when really the 'pill' is
simply pasted over II tiny opening in
the cover Of the bowl. Heating of the
bowl produces dense fumes. which are
drawn through the bowl and the stem
of the pipe into the smokers mouth.

The Kittle Collapse.

Mr.. Kittle is great student of the
magazines. His chief avocation OF re-
cent years has been to keep tab on the
country's periodicals and classify them
as progressive" and "reactionary"
according to the kittle conception Of
those terms.
Even the literary magazines like the
Atlantic Monthly fell victim to Mr..
Kittle's touchstone, which for infalli-
bility made Matthew Arnold's look
cheap indeed.
When novel did not come out
squarely in favor of the initiative and
the referendum, it went into the Kit
tie index expurgatorious as containing
pabulum unLy for the sovereign people.
In other words, Mr. Kittle's PRO
gressivenessn was on par with the
narrow, bigoted, time-serving political
brand which is worshipped and fostered
by the followers of certain factional
leader in this state.
So when it came to feathering the
nest of his own ambitions, Mr.. kittle
ignored some of the simplest of pro-
gressive truths that might have avail
ed him in his attempt 10 defeat Super
intendent Cary.
He did not recognize, for instance,
that the injection of factional politics
into a school election is not progressive,
but reactionary.
He did not recognize that the ex
penditure of large sums of money in
campaigns is just as undesirable in an
alleged progressive as it is in an al
legged reactionary.
He did not recognize that making un-
warranted charges against a rival can
didate is as unprogressive as il is con-
temptible.
He did not recognize that the utili-
zation of teachers, principals and other
school authorities in campaign tine
tured with politics is not progressive,
but reactionary.
And that is why Mr.. Kittle, although
haloed by the master progressive" of
the state, touted 10y his machine and
anonted by the university clique, went
down TO miserable defeat before super
intendent Cary.
"When the wind is southerly," as it
was Tuesday, the plain people, like the
prince Of Denmark, have come to "know
a hawk from hernshaw," to distin-
guish between what is genuinely and
what is politically progressive

His Shaky Memory.

The lawyers got tartar when, IN a
recent trial in southern city, they
summoned to the stand an aged darky
who had been an eyewitness Of a fight
that had occurred between a number
Of persons.
"Tell us what you know about this
fight" said counsel when old Nose had
been placed upon the stand.
"Fight?" asked Nose. apparently
greatly surprised what fightY"
"You know very well what fight Ii
meant" said counsel TEL us about
It."
IL don't know nothin' about no fight
insisted the witness. when was it!'
'See here, Moses exclaimed the
lawyer: mo triflingt the fight day be
fore yesterday You know all about
1t. Tell u.s.
"Oh, de fight day befo' Yesterday"
said Nose. "Well, sub, you see, Is
slept since dc day befo Yesterday. and
never kin rlckollect anything after

And that was all they could get from

THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1913

According to Henry F. Griffin, who
contributes to the New York Outlook
an article under the heading 1.-The Mo-
tor Conquest, there will be million
motor vehicles in use in America by
the end of the year 1913, and, IN the
opinion OF Mr.. Griffin, it would be rash
to guess at the figures that will be
made ten years from 1913.
OF course, Americas record for wide
distribution of motor vehicles is I'M
challenged. One for each 100 inhabit-
ants.
To the usefulness of the automobile
as a pleasure vehicle and its general
utility MIR. Griffin devotes several In
teresting pages. Even to those who
are not, and do not intend to be, mo-
florists, the figures presented by the
motor conquest should be source OF
pride and satisfaction. They show
degree of characterization OF opportu-
uIIy III l1e tHlltu DUdpSo th"S 40 "AN+N
ampled in history. In no other large
country has there been SO good an OPP
portunity for the man who has no 9TH
err capital than the will to work and
ability to do his work well.
The jaundiced eye of the anarchist
sees the rich growing richer and the
poor poorer, and all doors closed TO the
mere workingman, and because OF the
imaginary grievances of the common
people, and the greed and power of the
rich, he would register protest by
throwing bomb. Buta country which
has population of less than 100000
600 and has 10000 motor vehicles in
use is not so i'll governed that poor
man need despair.
The old order and the East are typi-
fed in the Native States OF India,
where a Maharsjah's stables contain
hundreds OF vehicles, horse drawn and
motor driven. and where the people
count themselves lucky If they get one
square meal day. The new order and
the West are typified in America,
where the boy who polishes your boots
to-day may he driving his own car in
ten or twenty years, and in twenty or
thirty years having his car driven by a
chauffeur.

fifteenth year the morality for both
sexes is the same; from the fifteenth to
the nineteenth year, The critical age for
girls, the girls chances are slightly
better than the boy S; from the Thrift
eth year to the thirty fifth the mortality
among women is smaller than among
men, and 1t continues smaller until the
SEVENTEEN year. Then for decade and
half, the sexes once more have the
same chance of survival, but above
eighty-five years OF age, woman again
stands much better chance than man.
To account for this difference the stat
istician points out that woman has
greater residence in shaking off diseases
than man. 1t is true that the physical
strength of man is greater than wom-
ans but woman's powero of endurance
is more robust.
One reason for this is that woman
possesses a finer perception OF her
power of endurance than man, and
when her perception warns her of ia
tigue, she stops. A man does not stop
until his power is exhausted. His ner-
vous system is not as finely organized as
a womans and as Mosso, the Italian
psychologist has pointed out, men and
women are entirely dependent upon
their nerves for caution not to over
exert. While it is true that women
more easily contract many diseases, par
ticularly nervous and mental diseases,
than men, they overcome them more
easily.-New York Sun.

Relative to the tariff bill the Asso-
ciated Press says that Gan investiga-
ton which has been under way for some
time has brought out strong opposition
TO the reductions proposed by the House
and sanctioned by the President in
many important schedules. 1t is under
stood that Senate leaders insist many Of
these must be changed, If the new bill
is TO have their support from the out
set. OF course! No material tariff re-
duction can be proposed that will not
meet opposition in the Senate 1t is
the question now whether opposition
in the Senate can be circumvented
enough to enable the passage of a tariff
reduction bill worth while. The pros
poets seem better than at any time
since the passage of the Wilson bill;
but the tariff is the tariff and every re.
duction hits pocket nerve somewhere
while the United States Senate has
long been the pocket nerve center

body the pocket is still mightier thar
