BABY'S ACTiNG IS
 FEATURE OF PLAY IN LYRIC THEATRE
Child Surprises Audience In ''Tess of the Storm
 Country

There isn't any doubt at all that Cecil Spooner and her excellent com pany increase their popularity weekly and the proof of it is that the audi ences grow larger and larger each week. It's a fact that "Tess or the Storm Country is one of the best plays that the company has given since coming to Bridgeport 10 weeks ago Miss Spooner herself was never more delightful than as ragged little Tessible whose innate goodness of heart and simple but sincere faith were refreshing. Her love for the htz tie stranger baby, and her fight to keep it alive by the milk Whlch sne sold makes Tess one of the most orig inal characters of modern plays.
 Of all the company last night the member who received the greatest ap- pIause was little Kenneth Rommers, the baby who had the part of Teola Graves child in the play. He was quite unconcerned in his acting, sit ting up in his crib and looking the audience oyer in a critical manner.
 The play itself is laid in the squat ter settlement at Lake Cayuga, N. Y. It is full of pathos and of comedy, de- Iightfully intermingled, and received great applause throughout the four acts at the opening performances
 Pen Trenton essayed new role, that of the young minister, Frederick Graves, requiring some strong dra- matic acting which the popular star worked out most successfully. Buelah Monroe as Teo1a Graves performed a. difficult part in a most praiseworthy y manner, while Darrel Vfnton Elias Graves, her hardheartded old father, who in his anger, horsewhips poor Tess, portrayed a part quite different from any that he has previously es- saved here.
 
 was realistically impersonated by Robert Lawrence. Frederick Clayton had an eccentric part as Satisfied Longman and the other members of the comapny who gave able support to the principals were Russe1 Bingham as fOrn'' Skinner, father of Tess, !" Philip Leigh, as Ezra Longman, Ed ward Davidson as Dan Jordan, George Kelley as Tom Hecker, Rob- ert Crawford as Jake Brewer, Mu- riel Valentine as Myro Longrhsn, Reta Villers as Molly and Grace Bing- ham as Martha

 STEAMER IN PORE

Copenhagen. Oct 26.-The men saved from the Swedish steamer Romina, which was destroyed by mine, have arrived at Stockholm. The German Lieutenant Metz, who was in charge of the steamer as a prize officer, when she struck the mine, was with them. He has been interned.
 The Romina, a vessel of 1,4S5 tons, was sent to the bottom by a mine off the East Granton lighthouse. She was then in charge of a prize crew from a German submarine which had cap tured her on her way from London with a cargo of wood pulp.

Too Much Freedom.

Il hate this school! ] wish II would
burn up" wrote a boy to his mother
from zone of the best preparatory
schools in the country" The mother
telegraphed; "Why?" and as she wait
ed anxiously for the answer she
snatched up books and articles and
pondered their criticisms of narrow
academic curricula which fail to hold
the child's interest or to fit him for
life" Finally the answer came: Il
don't like 1t on account of its spirit OF
freedom. There's too much old self
government. You can't have any fun.
It's too free!" In that boyish pose
was something akin to our own osca-
sional attitude of irony. Poor lad No
rules TO break; nobody's authority to
SKATER; no chance for the glorious
thrill of comrades with shoulders to-
gether TO ram against "the system"
Only the isolated effort of self-dis-
cipline, the lonely heights of liberty.
That's the trouble that freedom i'm
poses on all its championships New

San Francisco Newspaper Thinks
Little Of Imagination Displayed
by the East.

Like so many western ideas, the
jitney is gradually making its way
eastward. II has reached Philadel-
phia, it is an Issue in Washington,t
it is dipping its tires in the surf az
Atlantic City. The East never had
imagination enough to invent such
a simple matter as the jitney.
The jitney is merely an illustra-
ton. There are no new ideas of any
kind in the East, except ideas among
limited circle concerning ways of
getting peoples money away from
them. The West is Americas great
idea factory. The West can invent
and popularize everything necessary
from the jitney to the judicial recall.
The East is classic, the West roman
tic; the East is tory, the West lib
eral; the East stands pat, the West
keeps hopping right along.
New York city is not the nation's|
literary, artistic and musical CEN
ter; it merely happens to have its
hands on money enough to buy lit
erature, art and music, which is
quite a different thing. The New
York idea ought to be dethroned.
Why should New York pass on our
plays and our books and our public
policies when it hasn't sense enough
even to invent a jitney? New York
ought to get down on its knees and
thank heaven that there is a West to
furnish the salt to give it such SAVIOR
as it has.-San Francisco Bulletin.

LANGUAGE MODIFIED BY WAR
Most pedantle Purists Find Them
selves Unable TO Avoid the
Changing Metaphors.

Language, like almost everything
else, is unable to escape from being
conditioned and modified by war.
Half our best metaphors are taken
from war as it used to be, and we still
talk Of nations taking the sword"
though that is just what they never
do, when moving the howitzer"
would be vastly more appropriate.
Modern artillery has forced us to
make a verb out Of a noun and to
permit our gunners to "shell" a
place in defiance Of all conceivable
rules Of grammar. We have forced
offensive" and collective" to do
duty as nouns in spite of the fact
that they are plain and indubitable
adjectives, and we freely lombard"
though it would be quite as reason
able for a pillow fighter to say he
"pillowed."
Perhaps the most curious thing in
this connection is the way in which
we have been driven back upon the
old verb "fee." Before the era of
the Zeppelin and the aeroplane we
should certainly have said "the Ger
man feet flies before the British"
now we say it "flees," because "hy-
ing" seems to connote motion above
the surface of the earth. There are
q hundred subtle differences of this
sort to which war has impelled us,
and from which the most pedantic
purist is totally unable to escape.

CLEARLY A FARMING STATE
Names Of Many Of the Streams That
Flow Through Iowa Seem to
Demonstrate Fact.

That Iowa is a farming state is
reflected in the names of many of
the streams that flow through it.
First there is a Farm creek, so that
Farmers creek is not out of place !;
then there is a Chicken creek, a
Duck creek, Goose creek, a num-
Der of Turkey creeks, as well as Pig
con creek. There are Fox, Hawk,
and Rat creeks to devour the domes-
tic animals, and some Crow creeks,
while there are also a Fly creek and
Mosquito creek to worry the summer
boarders. Milk and Cold Water
creeks are present, likewise a Hog
run and Mud creek, so that Bacon
creek is not strange. 1t is fitting
that with a Bee creek and a Bee
branch there should also be a Honey
creek. There are couple of Cherry
creeks, a Crabapple creek, and plenty
of Plum creeks, and for the wild
animals we have Bear, Beaver, Buck,
Crane, Deer, Doe, Elk, Otter, Pan
ther, Raccoon, Skunk and Wolf
creeks. With Keg creek there is
Whisky creek and Whisky run.
Finally, there is Purgatory creek.
