Sunset Party Given
For The As You Like It Club

Tuesday afternoon The AS You
! Like 1t Club gathered on the spac-
ious porch of the lovely country
home of their hostess, Miss Florence
Conibear.
All sewed and chatted until in
vited to go boating and watch the
wonderful sunset. The hostess real
lied the few times those in town
have of enjoying such sunsets, and
the sun, too, seemed to want to as
sist, for it was truly clothed in all
its glory
On returning to the house we
found tables on the porch awaiting
us. All began to hunt their places
assigned by hand-painted sunset
place cards. The following delight
ful menu was served which the
guests enjoyed while listening to
the Victroa. Chicken salad au
rosetti, olives, date sandwiches,
guava jelly, mint lmeade, grape
nut cream and sunset cake.
It is not to be wondered at that
the guests so reluctantly took their
departure, after having been so
charmingly entertained The club
members present were Misses Vera
McRae, Josephine Drane. May White,
Mary Jackson, Mary Groover, Laura
Southard, Helen Conibear, Suella
Groover, Florence Conibear and Co
rinne Patterson.

mission expects to realize about
twenty-five thousand dollars or
the sale OF these coins.
The Florida Commission be-
lieves that with the added feature
OF the contest in which a large
number OF Florida 5 young ladies
will take part that this State will
be the banner state in handling
the souvenir coins. In all the
other states where this plan has
been used to raise funds it has
simply been a case OF agents dis
posing OF the coins. However,
iii all of the other states large
sums have already been realized
and in every instance it is be-
lieved that many more COINS will
be sold. With the interest
which the contest will awaken,
Florida should lead all the states
in this plan for raising Exposi-
ton funds.

the coins to the various bankers
OF the State. The Young ladies

through the bank officials.
The first order for these dol

! Those who have seen the SAM
pie coin declare that they are
among the most beautiful or
dcrcd by any state for this pur-
pose. South Carolina. Georgia,
Alabama and Montana are
among the states now selling
souvenir dollars to raise Expo
sition funds. Montana was the
first to try this scheme. The
Commission Of that state has
succeeded in disposing OF over
thirtv-five thousand OF these
coins. Alabama sold ten thouS-
and souvenirs the first day and
has been doing good work ever
since. The Georgia State Com

None of the professional prophets,
male or female, whose solemn and
portentous nonsense is published ev-
cry year in the papers as clairvoyant
predictions of the future, especially
as to wars, were lucky enough to hit
it off right as to the present Euro
pean conflict. They had great op-
portunity and, one and all, they
missed it; but Old Count Tolatoy, of
Russia, not in the list of prophets,
but with a genius unequalled in his
day, years ago called the turn
with marvellous accuracy except as
to date. He fixed the opening of
the contlagration in Europe for 1918,
one year too soon.

We have got so much constitu-
tional liberty in this country and so
much ponderous, slow-moving law
machinery to guard it that when a
national emergency, like the sudden
rise in food stuff arises we cant
get at the fellow who brought on the
rise because there is too much con-
stitutional liberty in the way They
do it better up in Canada where they
are about to make a law to haul the
eXtortioners and spectators sum
marily before a Judge and f he
learns from the evidence that ad-
vantage has been taken of war con-
ditons to unduly advance prices,
those prices are promptly reduced by
order of the court. That is n prac-
tical, sensible way to do the thing
and shows that the Canadians make
use of their courts for practical,
sensible purposes. In this matter of
raising the price Of food stuff to
speculate on the necessities Of the
people in war crisis we are in
sympathy with Champ Clark who
says that the police powers of the
States ought to be invoked in such
cases and prison penalties visited
upon the conspirators.

peace and order, that being the usual

Barre's Forthcoming Open Air Play.

| The producer of the open-air play
"The Romancers, by Rostand, TO b.
given for the benefit OF the Barre play
grounds. is Frank Lea Short, one of the
/ best of the New York stage directors.
The unusual excellence of the open
air productions of the Frank Lea Short
company is due to Mr.. Shorts skill as
director. He is by far the best known
and ablest director who has put on
PLAYS for the open-air, with the result
that his company presents productions
in the full technical meaning of the
term.
Mr.. Short has staged and directed
many successes for Mr.. Charles Froh-
man, Mr.. Daniel Frohman and the
Messrs. Shubert. He staged the plays
for Madame Nazimovs, when she had
her first great success in New York. Mr..
Short is also an actor of considerable
ability and has been a member of the
companies Of Mr.. John Drew. Miss
Amelia Bingham Miss Grace Van Stud
diford. Miss Bertha Galland, etc.
In open-air productions, besides the
PLAYS given BY his own company, he has
produced many of the most important
open-air pageants given in this country.
The Bi-Centennial at Yale university
and the famous historical pageant at
Hartford. Connecticut. are among the
most noteworthy. This wide experience
has been invaluable, and critics say that
he has brought the open-air play to
heretofore undreamed or perfection.
Tho present production Of Rostand's
comedy. The Romsncers," offers every
scope Tor his skill. This play, because Of
its romantic setting. its rush Of exciting
incidents. and it, beauty and color Of

COLD SPELL HITS CHICAGO
HARD-TWO DIE FROM 1T

Two deaths, score of injured per-
sons, lob fires, and widespread suf-
fering was the sum total today of the
coolest weather that Chicago and the
MiddleWest has experienced in two
years. Early today the mercury
stood at zero, but the bitter wind that
benumbed the city yesterday had
abated. The rising temperature pre-
dicted by the weather bureau within
"a hours was hailed with joy by thou
sands of Chicago poor, whose suffer-
ings were intensified by the blizzard.
The record low temperature mark
in two years was reached in Chicago
yesterday when the thermometer
stood at 81. below zero.
Those who persisted in the wintry
blasts were:
Peter Gilman, who staggede into
saloon and fell to the floor, frozen.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-02-09

situation here is that no payment
would have to-be made for that in
tangible thing called franchise value
In the City of Cleveland, for instance,
Judge Taylor, who was selected as
arbiter of the value of the Cleveland
street railways property, allowed
roughly about six and a half mil
lion dollars for franchise value.
I'm the case of the District rail-
ways, congress has specifically by
law. retained in it's own hands the
franchise value.
Another fact worth noting is that
the Cleveland system is about 300
miles, while the combined mileage in
Washington is just a little over 200
miles. The street railways of Cleve-
land have for the last two and a half
or three years been operated on the
basis of three cents straight, with
universal transfers, and it is possible
to travel a distance of Is miles in
Cleveland for that price.
Washington, with less mileage, no
universal transfers, a capitalization
half water, and with no necessity for
paying for franchise value, should be
able to reduce the rate below the
three-cent line"
