Rose stahl in "A Perfect Lady

In Rose Stahl s new comedy, "A
Perfect Lady," which comes to the
Majestic theatre Friday evening, there
is brought into strong relief the drab
dreariness of the average small country
town. In the first act the minister tells
how they are trying to build new
church, how there are weekly prayer
meetings and the Epworth League, the
bus driver says that Bryan lectured
there the past winter. The members of
a iy-bynight burlesque troupe land in
the particular town in this play, Sycs-
more, Kansas. They bring with them
the ideas and spirit of the big outer
world. Under the guidance of Lucille
Higgins, erstewhile Lucille de Jambon,
who was queen of the burlesque, they
proceed to put some new life into the
village. The methods are subtle for
music by an unseen player instills them
with desire to keep pace with the
music. Then they are told the dance
is easy to learn and soon the fever of
the tango has them in its grip. adv.

At the Orpheum

One of the bright particular attrac-
tions of the current offering at the Or
pheum this week is a scintillating
comedy sketch entitled married. >
The playlet is original in theme and
accordingly brings in many unexpeet-
ed situations and then in the hands of
such talented players as Homer Mason
and Marguerite keeler, it of course is
enhanced many fold Miss Keeler is a
charming blonde, with a wealth of
golden tresses, and she is altogether
charming. Mr.. Mason is a comedian
of the refined type, possession pleas
ing personality, and way of handling
his lines that makes him irresistiblv
funny. The action of the piece takes
place in a hotel room, where the girl
has wandered while suffering with
aphasia, and she gets into Mr. Mason 5
room. Enter Mr.. Mason, who has been
out with the boys for a few DAYS, and
who is now partly recovered. Mr.. Ma.
sons monologue with himself in the
mirror is exceedingly funny and then
be decides that he must be married.
after seeing woman's clothes in his
room.
No end of laughabe complications
arise and these are heightened bv a
burglar, who is under cover. and who
is watching every move of the PLAYERS
in order to make a getaway. All ends
happily, however, but the playlet and
the PLAYERS are certainly worth trip
TO the Orpheum, if they were the whole
show in themselves. Mason and Keeler
are offering one of the clever Keith
novelties that supports Nat y. Wills,

celebrated comedian who has vet an.

cuddy bill entities dependents to draw
compensation.
In reckoning the amount OF compen'
sation paid. the pay of the disabled
employee is placed between the limits
of $50 and 800 a month. In case
of total disability the compensation to
the injured employee is &C 2-3 per cent
of his pay as long as his disability
continues, even for life. Partial dis
ability is compensated for proportion
ately, being reckoned on the diner'
ence between the pay of the employe
when injured and the amount or pay
he was able to earn afterwards.
The United States is under obliga-
ton to furnish suitable work for a
disabled employee who is no longer
able to do his regular work. If any in
jured employee refuses to do the new
work. he loses his compensation alto
gether.
The maximum compensation paya-
BILE monthly is $66.67 and the mini
mum 1888 unless the employees
monthly pay is less than 1898, in
which case he is entitled to full pay
as compensation while he is disabled.
Dependents also come within the

For each dependent child she receives

Dependent parents are granted %
per cent of the dead mans pay for
compensation. but in no case shall the
total compensation paid TO widow,
children. parents and other depend
ents total more than two-thirds of the
pay.
The bill authorizes the creation of a
commission of three members to be
in charge of the compensation system.

Figures showing the number of

permits for the ranges on the 80 ma
tional forests during the year 1914
have just been made public. Nearly
II 100000 animals can be graZed, in
Guiding nearly 100000 head of cattle
and horses, nearly 100000 head of

hogs. This means an increase for the
current year of about $4,000 cattle and
horses. and $4,000 sheep and goats,
although the gross area of the ma

is almost 100000 acres less than at

During 1913, according to the re-

DoDGING LIGHTNING.

While county politicians are now en-
gagged in hunting for spots where light
ming. of the political kind, is likely
to strike, the Illinois state fire mar
shal's department is warning the peo-
pie of Illinois how TO avoid getting in
the path of the real article. Just now,
at the opening of the annual thunder
storm season, the rules given in the
weekly press bulletin are of particular
interest. and here they are:
Why is It necessary TO avoid prox-
unity to water and streams during
lightning?
Because water being a good con-
ductor. a person standing near it, be-
ing also a good conductor, might de-
termine the discharge.
Why is the middle story of house
the safest part to be in during an
electric storm?
Because lightning sometimes passes
upward from the earth; hence ii is
mistaken notion of safety to take ref
uge in a cellar. In instances where
houses have been struck with cleo
tricity from the earth. the force of the
shock has abated as the electricity as
cended.
Why is the middle of a room the
safest place?
Because it is removed from con-
Quoting surfaces. such as bright mir
rors, bell-wires. walls. cornices, etc.
Why is it advisable to stand on a
thick hearth-rug or on a hair mat
tress?
Because. being dry, and non-con-
Quoting bodies. they would insulate
the human body, and prevent the cleo
tricity from passing to it.
Why is it dangerous to approach the
fireplace in an electric storm?
Because heated air. smoke, vapour.
and SCOT are conductors; and the
metal CRATE, fender. fire-iTons. etc, are
all good conductors. and may conduct
the electricity to a person standing
near them.
Why is it dangerous to approach a
window for the purpose of fastening
the shutters, during a thunderstorm
Because the iron bolts and bars, the
hinges, etc, afford conduction to cleo
trio shock.
Is it dangerous to stand near a
lightning conductor?
II IS not dangerous. because metal,
being a better conductor than the
human body. electricity would not
leave the metal TO pass through a
worse conductor.
When is it dangerous to stand near
an elevated object?
When electric storms occur. II is
dangerous to stand near tall objects
which are Indifferent conductors, be-
cause the fluids OF the human body are
a good medium, and lightning would
pass through the body in preference to
any worse mediums.

Livestock in National Forests

better utilization of the forage re-
sources. They claim that this is due
mainly to the enforcement of better
methods of distributing and handling
stock.
On the lands recently acquired b.
the federal government within the APP
palachian region of the east, regulated
grazing has been undertaken this year
on six distinct areas. The local stock
owners who had previously used the
land under lease from the former own
ers have readily accepted the change
of ownership and appear to be favor
ably impressed with the methods en-
ployed by the forest service for graz
ing purposes. While the number of
all animals authorized to Craze upon
these southern Appalachian forests is
not large. it is the belief of the forest
officers in charge of them that under
careful supervision the lands will sup
port more stock than they have in the
past and that there will be consider
able improvement in the individual
animals, with a constant increase in
meat production.

FLEAs AND BUBoN1c PLAGUE

The importance Of the flea in the
Transmission Of bubonic plague is now
generally recognized. The commission
or the investigation OF the plague In
India indicated as the result OF its
work during 1906 and 1907 that trans
mission of plague from one animal 70
another could readily be brought about
by fieas: and that only IN the presence
OF heas did an epizootic among rats
or guinea pigs ensue. Close contact
with infected animals, including the
devouring OF infected carcasses. was
occasionally followed by a case OF
pIaseu, but no spread OF the disease
occurred. Animals allowed to remain
in animal houses in which plague had
occurred and in plague-infected native
quarters became infected; but no in
lection resulted, according to the Jour
nal Of the American Medical Associa-
ton, II the simplest measures were

age. A little tudicious motorcycle
coping will go long way toward
stopping this practice.
In spite OF the number of accidents
which have occurred recently at some
OF the more dangerous points drivers
of autos and riders OF motorcycles
continue to negotiate these points
with the throttle opened wide They
cast discretion to the winds and pass
the foot OF Tventy-sixth street on
Fifth avenue or take a run past Thir-
ty-eighth street for the hill on Seventh
avenue hoping and believing that they
will escape a collision. They know
that the percentage is in their favor.
Once in awhile. however. somebody
has TO pay the penalty at the points
named or somewhere else.
IL the only danger were TO the
speeders themselves the public would
not be so much interested in protest
ing, but the trouble is the pedestrian,
bicycle or motorcycle rider or auto
driver who keeps his eyes open and
observes the regulations is most often
the one TO get the worst of IL.
At this time of year the speed bug
is deadliest and restrictive measures
most necessary. The Rock Island POI
