l. l.. L. Wellman brought to the Jour-
nal Office Wednesday afternoon rel
lc OF the olden time in the shape of
cent of the coinage Of 1902, and which
was, in spite of the fact that it was
1l3 years of age, in a good state of
preservation. Mr. Wellman came into
possession Of the old copper because
OF his having the contract to move
the old Ross house on Green street
to new location on Lincoln street
and during the progress of the work
Albert Hall found the coin behind the
house. The coin is of the size of those
copper coins which We're struck in the
early years of this country as a ma
ton, and much larger than those of
the present day. On the diverse side is
the head and bust Of the Goddess of
Liberty, the head facing to the right
instead of to the left as in the more
issues. Over the head is the
word Liberty and under the head
is the date, 1902" On the reverse side
of the coin are the words ''One Cent"
enclosed in wreath, mad around the
margin the words United States of
America" Under the bow by which
the ends of the wreath are tied is the
fraction "1-100."

II would be fair TO neither author nor
auditor to give a detailed account Of
plot and play in advance when dealing
with farce comedy since it's a recog-
nized fact that a joke analysed spells a
laugh lost and a situation ruined. In
stead all are cordially invited to secure
seats well in advance, come early and
fast and furious in quality but will be
dispensed with generous hand in guam
titles to satisfy all regardless of num-
bers.

by j. w. Germans comedians are at

so 1t is not astonishing that the
girl who works for a moderate salary
grows -bewildered and discouraged,
and sends me questions like this:
"Dear Mrs. Gibson = wish you
would tell me the best way to dress
on a limited salary. / am 20 years
old and as pretty and popular as the
average girl, that is, go out a good
deal.
81 have been earning my own
money three years and 1 have tried
spending it for dress in this, that and
the other way; but l never seem to
get the right things.
please do not pass this letter over
as trivial. -Barbara."
Clothes can hardly be called triV-
ial consideration with any woman.
Even those who try ITO live above"
them are nevertheless bored to death
by them.
And women who frankly lust love
clothes" give all their thought, time,
energy and money to them. Never
theless, very few arrive at a stable
philosophy OF dress.
Like Barbara, they try this, that
and the other" and achieve nothing
in proportion to their expenditure.
For one successful gown, every wom-
an can confess to two or three 9TH
ers which are perfect failures"
This striving and confusion and
disappointment are typical of the
general unrest of woman today. Any
failure is usually due to the lack of
well-defned purpose.
If Barbara would acquire a reliable
working theory of dress let her put a |
few plain questions to herself:
Is Barbara vain? Are clothes the
paramount issue of her thinking, the
rery purpose of her existence, the
,ne big reason why she works for |
wages?
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-04-13

ton like the theater or a grill room
supper?
If so, she will be much in the con-
dition of the gambler, the glass OF
fashion today, thing of shreds and
patches tomorrow.
Is Barbara practical? Are her
garments, like food and the daily
bath, only an item necessary to her
comfort and efficiency?
A sane answer to this question will
reduce her problem to the minimum.
/ Or is Barbara bound to find her
mate? Are her clothes an advertise
ment of herself, her manner of at
tracing and keeping the attention of
men?
Then she will have a freakish
wardrobe which is just as apt to call
down mans criticism and ridicule as
his approving smile.
Such questions simplify Barbara's
problem. When she goes to shop she
has but to decide if the things she
buys is an expression of herself or of
somebody else, perhaps of the sales
woman or of middle-aged man de-
signer a thousand miles away.
For nothing she can do or say ex-
presses a girls character and individ-
uality SO completely as the things
she wears. Even a virtue-self sac
rifce, for instances often betrayed
by hat two seasons old.
And when a woman complains that
her gowns are all failures, it must be
that she has neither ambitions nor
emotions to express!

TWO CAN QUOTE EZEKIEL

From the New Republic.
 The President has seen fit to quote
 Ezekiel in support of his new gospel of
 preparedness. Chapter 33, verses 2-6,
 gives the curse to the watchman who
 sees the sword come and blows not the
 trumpet. It may have been inadver-
 tence that the President did not quote
 at the same time the exactly parallel
 verses in the very next chapter, which
 read as follows:
 g Son of man, phophesy against the shepherds of Israel. prophecy and say
 unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds: Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves. Should not the shepherds feed the focks? g Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you
 with the wool, ye kill them that are fed but ye feed not the flock. "A The diseased have ye not strength ened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.
 '5 And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd; and they became meat u all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.
 't My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill; yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them"
 Evidently if Ezekiel was a strong be- ilever in preparedness he was not less
 teliever in the social reconstruction, the national organization for a civilized peace which makes people integrated and vigorous. If we are to have Ezekiels s gospel from the President, let us insist that we have all of it.

ToOLE's GAS PIPING VOICE

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 Dear Tom Daly-You are doubtless fa- miliar with the recently published Rem iniscences of an Irish judge" Matthey McDonnell Bodkin. The genial journalist legislator-jurist presents in his delight ful volume some chara cterfistic speci- mems of the humor of Irish theatrical pa- irons, which remind us of the story that the famous comedian. John l.. Toole, re- lated here, one night, years ago, at a convivial gathering in the den of Henry Armitt Brown, of cherished memory
 Tocle had been fulfilling a successful engagement in Dublin theatre. One night. despite repeated calls to the front of the curtain, the uproarious en .husiasm of the a, dience did not abate. Although Toole ttisc'aimed any pretensa to vocal musical skill. the manager insisted that the only thing to satisfy an Irish theat- rical audience and avert a certain riot was a song The manager added that the people were by no means critical and that any simple nursery rhyme would fully comply with every requirement.. Thus stimulated and encouraged, Toole came to the footlights, and in a weak, piping apology for a voice essayed Lit tie Bo-Peep." At the end of the first stanza he was scarcely treasured by the very audible query of one Irishman to another across the gallery. Y say Mike. is that Toole or is it the gas?"
