stitutiOns not only mediums of immediate relief,
but of assistance to enable the unfortunateS to
become sef-sustaining The city has established
employment bureau, which also assists dis
charged prisoners from penal institutions to OBJ
tain work and become self-reSpectng citizens.
The loan shark evil has been eradicated and hand
books and other forms of gambling largely sup
pressed. These things due to the develop
ment of a high spirit of civic consciousness on
the part of the people, and as an evidence that
further progress is desired Cincinnati has just
elected fifteen of her leading citizens to draft a
new and scientific municipal charter upon a plat
form pledged to the separation of municipal
from national politics, the short ballot, civil
service, Initiative and Referendum, with a modi-
fed recall, and the largest degree of home rule
consistent with the surrounding conditions.
That this public interest in the altruistc side
of municipal affairs has not retarded the ma
terial advancement of the city is fully evidenced
from the record Of her commercial growth. 1t
should be borne in mind that no federal census
gives a correct idea of the size and Importance
OF Cincinnati The metropolitan district includes
three large cities and dozen smaller ones, sit
uated in two states and three counties, with
population Of more than six hundred thousand.
The largest office building of any inland city
in the world, the Union Central has just
been completed, and towers 500 feet above the
street level 1t houses the Cincinnati Chamber
of Commerce. whose membership has increased
from eight hundred to two thousand within a
year.

Sixth and Main, the other on the site of the old

the neighbOrhoOd of two million dollars, will be
in operation by the end of the year. A 100000
baseball park has been opened, and the county
is erecting two and half million dollar Court
House. Plans under way for permanent
manufacturers exhibit building to cost half a
million, and for rapid transit belt line and in
terurban subway to cost millions. Bonds
have been authorized for $3,000OO0 for sewer
system, $1,75OOOO for parks, $3500OO for tubercu-
losis hospital, $55OOOO for university purposes,
100000 for street improvements, which with the
new court house, 100000 hospital, and the con-
vention hall, will total $11,OOOOO0. Thus it will
be seen that the city has completed, has under
way or has in contemplation in public and pri-
vate improvements, upwards of twenty-five mil
lion dollars in the last few years. AS definite
proof that prosperity goes hand in hand with
uplift movement such has taken place in Gin
cinnati the following figures are taken from the
report, showing the percentages of in
creases in the period of ten years covered Capt.
tai invested, 74290; wage earners, PATIO; salaried
officials and clerks, $3.50; total factory en-
ployes, 800; factory payrolls, $780, materials
691%o; factory output 6S.69o; bank cearings
1919; the total value of buildings for which
permits issued in 1912 was hundred per-
cent greater than in 1902 the total value of prop
erty returned for taxation in 1912 was two
hundred million dollars greater than in 1902
In addition to all this Cincinnati has not lost
any of its prestige as a world leader in many
important lines of industry MADE in Cincin-
natl" goods sent to all parts of the world,
and in some lines, notably machine tools, nearly
half the entire product is exported, which is a
high tribute to the character of Cincinnati's
workmanship. That Cincinnati is located in the
right place is evidenced by the fact that notwith-
standing the great growth of the United States
this favored city still occupies the distinction of
being the nearest to the center of population. 1t
is within twenty-four hours ride of seventy-six
million people. Less than carload shipments of
freight can be delivered in within two to five
days to sxty-two millions, and within three days
to almost any part of the south. In by far the
greater portion of the southern territory the
freight rates lower than from either St.

other activities along this line have been added
to the public work. A wider of the public
school buildings for social centers, public gath
erings, Fourth of July celebrations, and the like,
have greatly widened the utility of these institu
tons. The city has also maintained public baths

building will also be used for large conventions,

expostions.

Mrs. Carter Gets :
Fresh Laurels in
Her New Role
Essays Second Mrs. Tan
queray" for First Time in
Her Life at Shubert's Local
Theatre.

Mrs. Leslie Carriers prowess as an
emotional dellneator of the woman
reaches its height in Arthur Wing
Pineros problem play, THE Second
Mrs. Tanqueray." 1t was the first
time Mrs. Carter has appeared in this
old drama, but her acting of the part
of Paula, the weird, fanciful second
Mrs. Tanqueray, was well-nigh per-
feet.
Mrs. Carter appeared in Zaza, in
which she first won notice as an emo
tlonal actress, the first two nights
of this week. Last night and tonight
she appears in THE Second Mrs
Tanqueraya Tomorrow and Satur-
day she will return to "Zaza-"
The story of Paula life is told by
Cayley Drummle, friend of Aubrey
Tanqueray, her prospective husband,
to a group of friends the night before
the ceremony. Paula as a young girl
was educated in a convent. Later she
comes out among fashionable people
and begins a dissolute life. Aubrey
Tanqueray. his first wife dead, mar
ries her in the belief that he can
make her happy and forget the past.
TanQueray brings his second wife
to his old home, where life becomes a
bore. No neighbors call to see the
second Mrs. Tanqueray and her mis-
cry and lonesomeness are increased
when Ellean daughter of her hus-
band, returns from a convent and
treats her coldly. Passionate appeals
for the love of the girl cause her to
fee from her stepmother. Odd dreams,
fantasies and Nightmares full of NOR
bidness come to the unhappy woman.
Love and happiness returns to
Paula for a neeting moment when
Ellean returns from London and an
nounces her engagement to Captain
Ardale. Recognizing Ardale as a
companion in the constantly-rec
ring past, she fears for innocent FL
lean. A scene between Tanqueray and
his daughter ensues. Then Ellean
casts Pauia's past life up to her face.
1T can read it in your face she
screams.
This was ZOO much for poor Paula,
trying to live down the past. She
ends her life as Ellean begs forgive
ness.
Brandon Hurst as Aubrey Tan
queray is admirable. Norman Tharp
as Cayley Drummle and Miss Maude
Hanaford as Ellean wonderfully sup
port Mrs. Carter in her role The rest
of the company play their parts with
out flaw.
