POLLS

A problem play that really solves its
question and leaves a clean taste is
Bought and Paid For" which was
played earnestly and well by the Poll
Players last night. Bought and Paid
For presents a rather unusual in
quiry. 1t is whether a woman who
has legally married man is justified
in sacrincinS her self-respect because
his money has bought her.
This theme is worked out through
four acts. In the first the heroine is a
telephone girl. drawing SO week.
Her sister is engaged to a shipping
clerk, at 81, with the understanding
that the wedding will take place when
he gets SIS. Then the rich man enters
her life. He does not love her, but
wants to marry her, and after mar
riage love gradually comes. He gives
her brother a good position, and
everyone is happy until the rich man
begins TO drink.
Drunk. one night. he tells his wife,
that he bought and paid for her. She
locks her door. and the curtain falls
with him pounding on il. He apollo
gIZes when sober. but the sting re-
mains, and she decides that her self
respect will allow her 10 do but one
thing, and that is to give up all that
his money has bought her and 60 back
u earning her own living.
Miss Izetta Jewell plays the part of
the wife, with conviction, and the rich
man is played by Richard Buhler in
one of the best pieces of work he has
done this season. Miss Louise Kent
has a great opportunity as the sister
who wants to marry the shipping
clerk, and afterward does. Her humor
is delightful. and she is ably assisted
by Dudley Hawley, who plays the ship
ping clerk.
Russell Fillmore is getting to posi-
lively look like Jap. while as the
French maid Miss Gertrude Bondhill
has little chance. but adds to the
picture.

many fishing expedition today. but
as the shower was largely local the
waters will probably be clear once
more in a few days. Monday is not
much of a fishing day as a rule. but
there were a number out in boats
yesterday and some very fair strings
of perch were taken. though the big
fellows were long way apart
If the selection of the right bait 10
fit water and weather conditions were
an exact science much of the fascina-
ton would be lost from the sport OF
angling. The scientific bait caster,
however. manages by trial and expert
ment to turn all conditions TO his ad-
vantage, depending far less on luck
than on proper selection of tackle.
Game fish are capricious Sometimes
on successive days and even hours they
change their likings without apparent
cause. All rules have their exceptions.
but on dark days or in stained or
oily waters the light-Colored bats will
usually be found most effective. while
on bright days or in clear waters the
lures of the darker shades produce the
best results. In flowing streams O. deep
channels the under water baitS are
most often the proper choice and the
surface bats are best In shallow
lakes and bays. The successful angler
goes provided with several DowagiaCs
of varying styles and colors 20 meet all
condition.
Successful casting. especially on the
part of the novice. depends much on
the proper relationship OF rod. line.
and lure. To cast with light lure
and line and short. heavy rod will
give anybody but an expert no end OF
trouble with baCklashoS and other
ernbarrassments. On the other hand
the fine qualities of light, resilient
rod are of no value II the lure is too
heavy for 81.

U. 5. ARMY WEAKNESS SHOWN.
Few Troops and scanty Supply Of Am
munition Ready. Says Wotherspoon.

l
| munition Ready, Says Wotherspoon.
Washington, Nov. 1s.-The actual
state of the military defenses of the
United States is revealed In the brief
but comprehensive report OF Maj. Gen.
w. w. Wotherspoon, who two days ago
retired as chief of staff of the army.
No other official document published
lin Washington in recent years has
made so strikingly clear the def1cien.
cies of the American military estab-
lishment as does Gen. Wotherspoon's
report. His report shows that there
exists a great lack Of men, material.
and organization.
Come Of the facts of the situation as
revealed by General Wotherspoon's re-
port are:
That out Of total army strength Of
4,572 officers and Ss,444 enlisted men
there are available for service in the
field to oppose an enemy within the
continental limits of the United States
only 2,738 officers and 45,96S enlisted
men.
Foreign service, the Mexican situa-
ton, and internal troubles have so
drawn upon this force that only 9,317
soldiers are now at their permanent or
home stations. Increases soon to be
made at Panama will further reduce
this number
The coast artillery corps, including
available achievements from the or
ganized militia, is short Of the number
Of officers and men to man the forti-
fications already in existence In the
United States and It's possession by 566
officers and 1908 enlisted men.
Modern naval guns outrange the
guns of the United States coast de-
lenses by from 1000 to 1900 yards.
General Wotherspoon recommends that
consideration be given to plan for
changing the type of coast defense gun
and its emplacements.
The army has sought to accumulate
enough ammunition to enable each
coast defense gun to engage in a two
hours bombardment an admittedly
low standard. But only 73 per cent of
the ammunition for the guns and so
per cent for the mortars, as required
by this standard. is on hand.
The militia on paper shows q
strength Of 1923 officers and 119,0S7
enlisted men. OF this force S1.O7 per
cent was present at annual inspection
last year; 1887 per cent attended the
instruction camps; only 5256 per cent
fired a rifle last year. and only 33.43
per cent attained the rating of second
class or better. Nearly one-third Of
the total force on paper failed to attend
the required twenty-four drills last
year. s
