FOX's LYRIC THEATRE
(By the Fox Lyric Press Aeent.l

1CsJ
Another bill of par excellence is
listed for the Fox Lyric today, six
acts and every one a headliner. "A
Night on the Wharf, is the feature.
The scene is laid on the river front
and the three characters represent a
captain, tramp and a sailor. The
principal theme is singing and there
is an abundance of harmony and mu-
sic. The act has been featured all
over the Fox time and has been the
biggest kind of a hit. Their rendi-
ton of the Rosary is the acme of
vaudeville perfection. No one has
anything on the two Clarks when it
comes to sensational gymnasts. Faith
er and son work with amazing rapid
ity. All of their stunts are exclusive
and there is a large routine
f'The Battle of Too Soon is a bur-
lesque on the fight at San Juan hill
and is scream. There are two
men in the act. Hilton and Damon.
Hilton plays the officer and Bannon
the Irish regular and he Is excruci-
atingly funny. Two dainty little
girls are the Boonie sisters. In fact
they are twins and have the reputa-
ter than any sister team in the bus
mess. Henderson and Henderson are
disciples of Booker T. Washington
and have one of the best co1ored
comedy acts in the business. Go1die
Banta, her name should have been
bantam for she is no larger than a.
minute, is full of ginger and talent
and sings a number Of exclusive
songs The pictures will be up to
ttheir usual standard and a number
of slides will depict the flood at Day
ton and elsewhere. It is possible that
moving pictures of the flood will be
shown before Sunday.

MANY CHANGES
IN NAVY BUREAU

Washington, April 3-Following the
change in the head of the navigation
bureau of the navy department, will
come others of almost equal import
ance in the near future. The four
years commission of H. I. Cone, chief
of the bureau of steam engineering,
expires May 10 and at his own request
the officer will go to sea, returning
to his actual rank of lieutenant com
mander.
Rear Admiral Nathan c. Twining
who, in the ordinary course, would
have two years yet to serve as chief
of the bureau of ordnance, is under
stood to have applied for sea service
and soon will be relieved from the
bureau.
Captain Edward EberIe, at present
commanding the torpedo boat fTotf1la,
of the Atlantic fleet, Is believed to
have been selected to succeed him.

BURNED WITH STEAMER
AFIRE OFF WATCH HILL

Newport, R. l., April 3-The steamer
Millinocket bound from New York to
Stockton, Me, paused off here early
today to send ashore Carl Hanson,
first assistant engineer and Victor
Swanson, an oiIer, who were badly
burned in a fire that broke out in the
bunkroom when the Millinocket was
off Watch Hill. The damage to the
steamer was slight. Four men were
asleep in the bunkroom when the fire
was discovered, and while two made
their escape, Hanson and Swanson
were rescued with difficulty through
tho bravery of Engineer Engstron.

moned by wireless, took the burned

THE END.
Women Workers.

According to the American Medicine,
experience shows that the strain of
self support is too great for female
nerves, and physique and early break
Gown results. In very few callings do
we ever find women of middle age
who show anything like the compare
tive vigor OF men of the same decade
of life. AS far as we know every
class OF female labor is considered a
temporary employment and not life
calling. 1t is almost invariably ex-
changed for the more normal family

300 STRIKE PICKETS
DOING PARADE DUTY
AT DRAPER FOUNDRY

Hopeda.le, Mass, April a-very little
disorder attended today's opening of
the shops Of the Draper Company,
where a strike of foundry workers has
been in progress since Tuesday
A band of 300 strike pickets paraded
UP and down the sidewalk in front of
the shops for two hours this morning.
The pickets made no effort forcibly to
prevent anyone from going to work
and the police did not interfere with
the pjckets.
The only disturbance occurred in
Milford, about three miles from the
Draper mills, when the police dispersed
a crowd of about 100 strikers and
strike sympatnizers who had attempt
ed to stop a street car filled with en-
pIoyes of the Draper Company.

ADVERTISED GOODS
ARE KNOWN TO
POSSESS QUALITY. WHY?

Take a specific example,
large New England concern.
Their advertisements appear in
almost every newspaper and
magazine in the United States.
Their product possesses quality.
They write repeat orders.
Quality is that element which
makes an article distinctive;
quality is absolutely necessary
to advertised goods; quality in
an article induces the consumer
to buy again.
Every progressive manufac-
tureI. sees this value to himself
and his business. He is S-::Aare

Throwing cordons is an easy
thing to do. You take a lot of
cops, and point out a house to
'em, and then tell 'em off into four
squads.
Squad No. / you send north of
the house; squad No. 2 west of
the house; squad No. 3 south of
the house, and squad No. 4 east
of the house.
Before sending them to the
four quarters, you address your
squads thusly:
ct is suspected that Bandit
Webb may be in this house, Or:
may have been in this house, or
may come to this house soon.
Therefore you must watch every
one approaching this house. If
anyone who approaches looks or
acts OF smells like a suspicious
character, take hin1-dead or

That's throwing a Gordon"
and without showing any bias or
prejudice, it seems to us that it
also is throwing a whole lot of
perfectly good citizens of the
neighborhoOd into unnecessary
bodily peril.
Probably it is part of the edu-
cation of a cop to know what
suspicious character looks or
acts or smells like, but even cops
are human, and to be human is to
err.

ALWAYS GROWING OLD
REALLY NO SIGNIFICANCE IN
"sHoWiNe ONES AGE"
Simply Means That Internal Changes
Make Appearance on the Surface,
Not That There Need Be De.
crease In Capabillty.

DR.. Woods Hutchinson, in his book,
Common Diseases" entertainingly
discusses old age conditions that will
come TO each OF us II we live long
enough.
IF we are going to do anything to
cure the disease of old age. we must
begin before birth Indeed, as Oil
yer Wendell Holmes wittily remarked
In the prevention OF disease, we
must begin with the grandparents.
The so-called senile changes are
changes which have been going on
ever since we began our individual
existence.
THE time when we begin to feel
old, the particular period at which we
begin to show our age is merely
that period at which these internal
changes have reached and shown
themselves upon the surface: in
which, so to speak. these microscopic
alterations have finally become visible
to the naked eye.
1T Is nothing short Of absurd to say
that a man becomes old, or senile, or
incapable of further development or
incapable of the conception of new
ideas at, or after. any special or par
ticular age. There is no one period
Of life In which we grow, and another
in which we decline, Both processes
are going on side by side In every
part of our body from the day we
are born, Just as the life of the
body means the death of certain of
its cells, so the growth OF every pow
er and faculty means the sacrifice
and the decay of others. Every print
tive cell of the embryo lays down
part of its life to become a muscle
cell, a neurone. blood corpuscle, or
bone cell
1.-THE process has no limit. any
more than II has beginnings Life is
just that, one.third dying that two
thirds may live, whether ii be the
single cell, or the hugest and most
elaborate body. While in such gross
matters as mere avoirdupois and stat
IRE, and the actual horsepower Of our
muscles. we reach limit, period
Of what we are pleased to call ma.
turity, at a comparatively early age:
yet In other and more important re-
spects we continue to grow and de-
veiop steadily, to very much later
period, fifty-flve, sixty and even sew
enty years. New and valuable
achievements. masterpieces in every
! realm OF human activity and interest.
/ have been produced hundreds of
times in every decade, UP to and in
Guiding the ninth.
1T Is obvious then that there is no
hard and fast dead line which can
possibly be drawn, beyond which no
further growth, or fresh creative eff
fort, or new enterprise, or improve
ment Is possible In fact, by living a
healthful, active. happy life. and keep
ng up all our interests, we can grow
aud develop and adjust ourselves, and
feel that we are growing until we are
one day suddenly dead, without ever
realizing In any distressing or painful
way that we are growing old at all"
