Every little while the Columbia Play

bit Of surprise with their pleasure. and
why Smith Left Home" as produced
last evening, is, perhaps, the most sur
prising, as we'll as one Of the most pleas
ing. things they have done. In cast
that contained twelve people there were
at least eight of the most distinctive
character studies to be found on the
stage. Each of these was so distinct,
and balanced so nicely with the others.

play to have this old one done so we'll

a masquerade party. Mr.. Van Buren
was most emphatically at home as the
harassed husband. His delicate handling
Of a part that could easily have been

wife, and continued the favorable i'm

thing she has ever done in Washington

HOW 0UT.0F-D00R
LIFE AFFECTS BEAUTY

Exposure to sun and wind. dust and
the elements. although often acting as
tonic to the system in general and
sometimes heightening the color of the
skin. is still very damaging to the re-
fned appearance Of the compilation.
The open air in itself Is good. but the
face should always be well protected
against the extreme heat, wind and
dust. The girls Of your acquaintance
who live a great deal out of doors by
no means have the most beautiful COM
plexions. You can best protect your
skin against the elements or beautify
It for social life by face lotion which
you can very easily make at home by
getting 4 OUNCES spurmax from druggist
and dlssolving 1t in u pint Of hot water.
to which you add . teaspoonfuls OF
gIycerine. This lotion is easier to apply
than powder. does not rub OF. looks like

vety bloom while removing shininess
and surface discolorations and curing

AT CAPITAL THEATERS THIS WEEK

I'll at ease. II he was there was no hint
OF 1t in his manner.
Mr.. Brickert was cast for the char
acter OF Jules Beaubien, French Cana
dian, and Mr.. Brickert was julie Beau
bien, French Canadian, through three
acts Of strong play. powerful in Its
direct simplicity. And yet his person
atty shone through the part ip
such manner that II never
failed of impressing itself strongly
from the very first moment he
appeared. A tall. slender. youngish man
in appearance, the actor commanded the
good VIII of his audience at the very
start. THE Wolf" has been seen here
before. but the Jules Beaubien OF Mr..
Brickert was entirely new and distinctly
pleasing. The most impressive feature
of the performance was the manner in
which the actor gave just the touch
required to the big scenes without over
doing.
The production Of The WOLF" by the
Poll Players is one Of the best things
they have done. Miss Jewel made q
most acceptable Hilda. while Messrs.
Fillmore. Corbett, James. and Shannon
were in thorough harmony with the
subtle action of the play.

A personality and a play struggled

of the audience at the Poll Theater
yesterday afternoon and evening when
Carl Brickert made his first appearance

Maryland's Coal Output
Gains $87. .967 in Value

Maryland's coal output in 1913. while
1s4, ,1s9 short tons below the production
in 1912, showed a gain in value Of 1926
over the preceding year. according to a
report on the states coal industry made
public today b. the Geological Sur
vey. Last years production, while far
below the record year of 1907. when
5.532, ,62S tons were mined, was very close
to the average for the last sixteen
years. The total value Of last years
output was s5,921 $50. The tonnage was
S. $50 short tons.
The record of individual efficiency by
the miners of Maryland is high. In 1913
the 5,Si5 men employed in the coal mines
Of the State worked an average OF
24s days, with an average production
ty each man Of S7 tons for the year
This Is considered an exceptionally good
average, when 1t Is considered that 81
per cent of the total was mined by
hand.
The Bureau OF Mines has reported
thirteen fatal accidents in 1913 in the
Maryland coal mines. the same number
as in 1912. The records for both years
we're better than the average, and were
surpassed by only few other States.

Nome Mail Man Explains Late
Arrival of Reports to Mr..
Dockery.

Postmaster ]. S. Bakhe. at Nome.
Alaska, has Just presented to Third
Assistant Postmaster General Dockery
one Of the simplest and most convincing
alibis ever produced in the postal serv-
ice.
1t is unique in many respects, and as
a result the Postoffice Department Is
in possession OF an exceptionally fine
photograph of two steamships pushing
their way through ice in Nome harbor
June l. when the rest Of the United
States is usually sweltering..
Some months ago the Third Assistant
Postmaster General complained to the
postmaster at Nome that his reports
ways delayed. In answer the postmas-
ter presented a photograph Of the first
mail getting into the harbor at Nome,
June l.
The revenue cutter Bear. the good
angel of the northern seas, Is cleav-
ing a pathway and towing the steam
ship Corwin. Navigation is supposed
to open the first OF June. but 1t Is
frequently no easy matter to get in the
first mails from the States. When no
mails come in, of course, none go out.
The photograph was taken at II
o'clock at night, another unusual fea-
ture. for It shows that the light must
have been fine and strong. In June,
Nome has the most daylight of any
American city of consequence.
Here is the postmaster's letter inclos-
ing the photograph:
THE Honorable Third Assistant Post
master General: The picture was taken
at IL o'clock p. m, on June l. 1914.
and will show you the arrival OF hrst
mail on the revenue cutter Bear. ana
will explain to you why you do rot get
nv report, covering March quarter
until the latter part of June"
Governor Dockery says that the ex-
PLANTATION is both lucid and convincing,
and Is accepted.
