to the notice OF theater-
goers. He is quite salts
fed that he owes it all
to himself alone, and he
acts on that theory. Yet
every playgoer knows
how a good actor may
fail utterly in a bad play,
or even in a fairly good
play in which he has been
unwisely cast, or which
has not been skilfully re-
hearsed and presented.

But the funny part Of it is
that they are real and not bluff at
all. Many times we have had
salary lists SO high-the result Of
our desire to uphold standards and
win the favor of critics and public
that the productions have often
failed to earn any profit.
To start with, the chorus girl
gets anywhere from twenty to forty
dollars a week. The lowest price
named is three times what many
equally attractive and far more
industrious and deserving girls get
in all sorts Of stores and mercan-
tile establishments. For twenty

stenographer or bookkeeper who will ex-
ercise degree Of care and intelligence that
makes the effort of the chorus girl comic by
contrast. A woman who earns forty dollars
week in an office must be wonder in her
special work, and will be an almost indis-
pensable cog in the wheels of that partic-
ular industry. For that matter, newspaper
man who earns that amount Of money on
anything but metropolitan daily must be
even more than star reporter. The me
chanic who gets that much must be skilled

they owe no particular debt.
A contract binds a manager
more than it binds the actor,
for this reason: If the manager
breaks his agreement, the actor
can sue him with a reasonable
chance of success; but if the

Frequently the actor has no
permanent abode and little
tangible property. 1t IS true
that the manager might get a
permanent injunction restrain
ing the actor from working
under any other management;
hut it is difficult to get such
an injunction, and useless to en-
force it. If the manager gets
the injunction and compels the
actor to play, the latter, il he

TRIPLE PLAY FEATURES
GERGACZ GAME SUNDAY

Excitement featured the one-sided
game between the South Bend Gergasz
and the Mishawaka team Sunday al
ternoon at the North Side ball park.
The locals defeated the visitors by a
score of seven and three. 1T was a
good game and furnished the fans with
considerable features seldom seen on
a ball diamond. Both teams played
good ball but Porter for Mishawaka
was too much for the Benders. Porter
was assisted with good support from
both the infeld and outfield.
The game opened with three strike
outs for the visitors, while Mishawaka
when up displayed we'll and secured
two runs for their share Of. the first
inning. Mishawaka took the lead in
the first and held II throughout the
game, although in the seventh the
Gergasz rallied and for time 1t look
like the Benders would even the score.
They failed, however.
A triple play in the seventh was an
other big feature of the game. There
were also many double plays and other
freaks, which made the contest one OF
interest.

Model. at Dawsbergen, where he was
to learn the art Of aviation. Modzel
also had a son, Sigmund, who attended
the aviation school and the two young
men became fast friends. Adolph,
after three months, became profile
lent aviator and wrote TO his parents
of his progress. He also confessed
that he had fallen in love with
Helene, his hosts daughter. But
peace and harmony was destined TO
be disrupted. War was declared be-
tween the two principalities and
Bergstern. Helene fastened her locket
to Adolph's watch chain as token Of
her love. When Adolph arrived home
he Immediately enlisted with the
aviation corps, and was ordered to
destroy the enemy's balloons II pos
sible. Sailing through the air on his
mission of destruction. he hurled
bomb after bomb, destroying a dozen
great balloons Sigmund. who had

corps, was ordered to set out after the
enemy's destructive aeroplane. Soon
he sighted IL and succeeded in gain
ing a position directly above 1t. He
sent a bomb toward the other ma

the ground. Unhurt my the fall,
Adolph ran for the shelter OF a
nearby mill. From this point, he
succeeded in killing several Of the

capture the bold aviator, but fell

then blown up. and came to the

lifeless body of Adolph was laid be-
side that Of his friend. Neither had

to marry him. She refused and told
him she could not give an answer TO
him then. AS they were resting after
a stroll, Helene was startled TO see
hanging from his watch chain the
locket which she had given Adolph
when they parted. Maxim then ex-
planned TO her that he had taken il

REV. EDWARDS GIVES
MEMORIAL ADDRESS

Rev. DR.. Loren NJ Edwards pastor
of the Methodist Memorial church at
the SuLJay morning service preached
the Memorial sermon TO the members
OF the @. A. r. post Of this city. The
Methodist church was selected by the
G.. A. r. as the pulpit from which the
sermon would be preached this year.
The old soldiers marched from their
headquarters 10 the church in a
body carrying a huge American flag
at the head of the procession.
Rev. Edwards in the course OF his
remarks said: ut was George Will

American orations that Will never die
out are, Patrick Henry's at Williams
burg. Wendell Phillips at Fanueil Hall
and the historic speech of Lincoln at
Gettysburg. A thousand martyrs to lib

the spirit Of Lovejoy, newly martyred
at Alton, Ill, exhaled the memory
that Amounted the lips Of Phillips,
while the fields OF Gettysburg all bill

1t was the speech of Lincoln that
Everett, who had a part on this same
program, said that he would give all
his eloQuence and scholarship for the
twenty golden sentences. When Mr..
Lincoln pronounced this immortal ut
terance he planted on that sacred
field, hallowed by soldiers blood, the
purest, whitest flower Of American
eloquence.
THE civil war brought into prom
inent relief the patriotic heroism or
the common soldier. With fine appre-
citation General Grant dedicated his
Memories to the American soldier

probable cause OF an accident in
which an automobile driven by James

dismantled Sunday afternoon when
struck by a south side car at the cor
ner of Mil st. and Lincoln Highway
west. According to some, the machine
was coming. up Mill. apparently to
cross Lincoln highway. The driver
of the machine. IL Is supposed. be-
came excited when he saw the dan
ger Of the approaching car and
worked the wrong mechanism. One
OF the parties in the machine said the
brake refused to work The front
end Of the auto was demolished, the
wheels and frame being torn apart.
The engine was also apparently dam
aged. 1t was necessary to tow the
machine to garage for repairs.

War Correspondents Army Corps.


If another war cloud should hover
over this country during the present
administration with Hon. Lindley M.
Garrison as secretary of war, he will
be able to inaugurate his plans for or
ganizing war correspondents in the
field. The experience at Vera Cruz in
April, 1914. has suggested that a press
corps be organized. occupying a neutral
position on the field, and still having
access to the points from which the
news can best be obtained. The secre-
tary suggests that the correspondents
wear a special uniform, and that strict
rules be enforced concerning the quail
fications for membership, and have the
membership limited as far as possible,
without running the risk OF fncurring
the charge Of discrimination. Secretary
Garrison believes that the press corps
should be a separate military entity
and carry a flag in time of action bear
Ing a special insignia, also to be dis
played over their camps which would
be recognized by both armies, as the
Red Cross ensign Is internationally re-
spected. The press corps, properly Of
ficered and heady for all the exigencies
tailed for misdemeanors, would elimi-
nate the sensational and irresponsible
reports hat some times make more
trouble than muskets.
The secretary of war insists that
there is no time when 1t is more I'M
portant that the people should have au-
thentic news than during hostilities,
and even more SO when acute situa-
lions are to be met in allaying racial
passions and war Jurors. Under these
conditions the secretary has outlined
an innovation liable to be adopted by
other governments that will add real
glory to the war correspondents.
