AMUSEMENT NOTES
"The Little Millionaire" Is a Very Clean
Performance.

George NJ. Conan has given us many
plays of lasting drawing power but in
none of them has his genius in the art
of the theatre shown itself so convinc-
ingly as in THE Little Millionaire"
The most creditable thing about a Co
han play is its extreme cleanliness. Here
is an author who can write lines and de-
wise situations that are productive of
laughs without STOPPING to salaeious-
ness. Whoiesomeness has permeated
every product of his pen from Little
Johnny Jones' down to The Little MEL
lionaire,' and this attribute. more than
any other thing, has created the Cohsn
vogue that is now country wide.
"The Little Millionaire" is announced
for presentation at the Barre opera
house Friday evening, April IL. II is
a particularly fascinating musical farce
that was accorded a long New York run
at Mr.. Cohan's own theatre there. and
the pennant of success unfurled in
Gotham still waves in a gale Of laugh
ter wherever this very entertaining piece
Of comedy writing from the Cohan pen
is seen. Young Mr.. Conan has fur
nished the American stage with many
examples Of his skill in constructing
PLAYS with melodic accessories and his
name has come TO stand for all that is
best in this particular avenue Of art.
but, judging from a public opinion an-
yle. @The LATHE Millionaire" is his most
popular Offering down to date-Adv.

NEW GRANITE DISCOVERED.
That Found in Cohasset, Mass, Has
Pinkish Coloring.

A beautifully colored granite has been
discovered in Cohasset, Mass. None has
ever been found in the town before and
an analysis showed the stock to be val
liable, says the Quincy Ledger.
The find was due to Paul Gunella of
South Quincy whose knowledge of gran
tie is extensive. Mr.. Gunella is the New
England representative of Tiffany stu
dos of New York and Immediately Sc
cured the land for them.
A few years ago a wood lot marked
the spot where the granite lay concealed
and 81 900 was considered a good price
for the property. To-day there is no
knowing the value OF the hidden treas
ure.
Expert tests show that it stands all
the requirements of the best granite on
the market and it glows with color like
precious stones. In the sun light the
lustre reflects green and pink, cream and
brown, black and white.
Although but few stones have been
brought to the surface the richness OF
the deposit led B. f. Keith, the vaude-
vile magnate, to order tomb from it
to be built on the family lot in Hollywood
cemetery. The st. Louis Cathedral
will use the product in its interior and
other churches and memorials will be
of it.
Beechwood Cohasset, about two
miles from the Beachwood station is the
location OF the deposit. 1t was for
merly owned by Charles Hackett and
adjoined his farm. He sold the heavily
wooded land to Atwood brothers of
box manufacturers, who want
ed the timber. Gunella purchased from
them for three times what they paid for
it,
The discovery was made in curious
manner While making a business call on
an Italian he noticed slabs of fine granite
steps. Learning that more of that speei-
man of granite was nearby he investi-
gated and purchased the property soon
After
Behring'S have not shown how deep the |
edge is but several large rocks have been |
The entire woods is thought |
o border upon a ledge of valuable gran
tie and preparations are being made to |
install machinery for quarrying purposes.
Professor Charles H. Warren of Tech
lology, who analysed the stone, report
d.:
This stone is of light color, with
REVEALING pinkish tone, and of medium
oarse grain. Its coloring is remarkable.
The gray of the quartz, pink. white, yell
owish green of the feldspar and black
i the chlorite, afford a delicate nothing
which is not only pleasing but very diff
erent from the usual run of granite"

"Firedp Into a $50 Week lob.

In the April American Magazine ap-
pears an interesting account of Just what
manufacturers and workmen are getting
out of scientific management. The ar
! ticle is entitled "How 1t Works" and it
! is a careful record of recent personal
investigation, endorsed by Frank w.
Taylor. Following is an extract:
Theoretically scientific management
has use only for frst-class workers, as
it naturally aims to set its tasks by
what first class man can do. The fact
is, however, that under its principle of
suiting the worker to the job, and
educating him in it, there is a chance for
every worker to become first class, save
only those who, physically, mentally, or
this principle of scientific selection works
out can be seen in the case of drill
press hand who for years could get work
only when work was booming. As soon
as this man landed in scientific man
agement shop it was discovered that the
only trouble with him was that drill
press work was too heavy for his physi-
cal powers, and too complicated for his
mental, and so, being set to work at a
milling machine, he promptly was turned
into a first-class workman who earns big
money steadily. And there is the case
of machinist, who, when his shop was
placed under scientific management, was
reported by his foreman not to be good
for anything However, that man is
now making twenty-five dollars week
he used to have hard struggle max
ing sixteen--for il turned out that as an
inspector of work he was a first-class
man indeed.
Perhaps the best thing of all about
management from the point of
view OF the worker is that it bids fair to
make of every industrial establishment
an educational institution. Certainly, by
making planning to an everincreasing
extent take the place of crude muscular
exertion, it is putting premium on
brains. In small shop operating under
scientific management. the manager re-
,ently called in two of his functional
foremen and said:
BOYS, | must get rid of YOU
Whats the trouble?' was asked in
The trouble is replied the manager
that you are getting to know too much
lere. Anyway, you have become too
,igh-priced for us
''Of course they didn't understand; so
he manager explained that he had
earned that two men such as they were
needed for fifty-dollar-a- week positions
With large companies that were install
ng scientific management, and that as
le couldn't afford to pay them more
han their existing salaries of thirty
ollars, he would have to fire them. Be-
ore the introduction of scientific man
cement these men earned as machinists
rom fifteen dollars to sixteen dollars
nd eighty cents a week"
