ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric


 There is something good to enjoy from one end to the other of the vau- devil1e offered by the Lyric this week and a typical Monday night audience applauded every act liberally last night. It is probable that the headline honors were about equally divided between two of the acts and the remaining five were equal favorites for second place.
 ITO Save One Girl" is worthy suc- cessor to Wives of the Rich. which was last weeks sensational act The Paul Armstrong political satite and drama abounds in action, carries three Just dramatic or melodramatic enough to arouse the enthusiasm of the au- dience
 There is some excellent character acting in the play. James A. Marcus portrays the typical ward politician in most convincing manner. Donald Fullen as John Glenn, the young mem Der of the legislature, and d man harrassed for 40 hours on a stretch by the scheming politicians, gives ner vous. cratic portrayal to the part which would be very natural under the conditions depicted and Miss Ruth Boyce is excellent as the stenographer and innocent tool of tfe politicians.
 Edwin Skedden with his splendid operatic voice, was the other biggest success of the bill. It isn't often that can divorce such a voice from grand opera and so good is 1t that the audiences applauded for more, even though all but one of his songs was classical Miss Pike, playing his ac- compartments, is an expert pianist and her two numbers were greatly enjoyed.
 The comedy honors were easily car rie doff by Imhoff. Conn and Coreene, presenting the war sketch, Surgeon Louder U. $. Az in which Roger Inn hof appears as the fat color sergeant. His Irish is rich and natural and the part as well as the lines are condu- cive to laughter
 Quite novelty is offered by Those Three Virginia Girls presenting pop ular and old-time songs. Miss Jessie Lansche, the soprano is featured in the solo work and the voices of the others blend harmoniously with hers in the duets and trios

 Collision on Mt. Pinson Road

Louis Pizitz, the well known mer- chant, sustained a sprained arm and slight scratches in an automobile acci- dent yesterday evening on the Mt Pinson road near Dolcito. His automo- bile. driven by the chauffeur struck "a telegraph post and was badly dam aged.
 Alarming reports were received in the city that Mir. Pizitz had been bad ly injured, but his friends will be glad to know that it was nothing serious
 Mrs. Pizitz and the children and Mrs Pizitz's brother were also in the car, but were uninjured. J. H. Holcombe was close behind the Pizitz car when the accident occurred and brought Mir and Mrs. Pizitz to the city. He states the Pizitz car was not going rapidly but that it came near being a very serious accident

doomed. And when IT does, the fu-

The greatest factor in this contest
has been the contest for diplomatic

foreign nations, who later stated that
they had been too precipitate in the

ARBOR DAY.


In most of 'e states OF tlls. Union
and in. portions of Canada Arbor Day
is day on which the school chill
dren and others plant trees and
shrubs along the roadside and in 9TH
er suitable places. 1t is movable
festival, varying according to climate,
though usually falling in April or
May and in the United States Is ap-
pointed either by the. legislators or by
the governor acting under legislative
authority E
The pioneer state in the movement
was Nebraska. Michigan and Min
nesota followed suit. then The eduea-
tion department of Ontario ordered
that the first Friday in May shoald be
set apart for planting shada trees
and making flower beds in the school
grounds.
New York did not fall into line until
1888, wien the governor proclaimed
the Friday following the first day OF
May in each year should be known as
Arbor Day. The day has been recog-
uized and initiated by Spain, where it
is known as the Fete of the Tree, and
each year the king and queen plant a
tree or shrub short distance away
from the palace, with appropriate GER
emonies and celebrations by the school
children. The present king inaugur-
ated the custom.

AS no ROLLER SKATES

= q n 80 ~ n. - o.
We have been asked to comment
upon, the matter OF children taking
so many privileges in the use of roll
Ter skates. THIS is a matter upon
which we dislike to have anything TO
say. So Ear as our observation is
concerned the little felix's are merely
having pleasure, an innocent, health
fui pastime, and we have no COM
plaint to make. But there are good
people who tell us that in certain sec
tions of the city the children are too
'promiscuous." We have nothing to
say; Sc :i:G children
When we are called upon 10 take
sides against the little people In
their pastimes, we hesitate. They
should not be allowed to run wild of
course. but they should be permitted
healthful exercise, even If the city
has to give them a play ground and
a public park-which will come some
day and why not now? e
One of the sweetest and yet saddest
OF little plays that have ever appealed
to human sentiment was the beautiful
musical light drama. "Toyland". The
chorus In one of the acts runs: "Toy-
land, Joyland, .ittlc-Girl-andBoy-
Land, When once You cross its bord-
ers. you can ne'er return again."
There Is more philosophy in those
few simple words than in some whole
books of metaphysics. Let the little
people be happy as long as they may

sorrow and age will creep upon them.

spectful to their elders, and to take
up hut part OF the sidewalk when
they are skating. DO not let them
