IAN ACTORS BANQUET

i
 A young man starting out to be- come an actor was walking along Broadway the other day. He stopped to allow an automobile to pass him at 43rd street when two old timers who have appeared before the foot lights for some fifteen or twenty years were heard to say:
 I'm getting sick of this life, old pal Roaming about the country half the time going without a meal for three days. The old saying that ac- tors seldom eat Is nothing short of the truth.,'
 They both walked on. The young man we mention happened to a Bridgeport boy and will take part in the annual pre-Ienten entertainment which will be held Monday and Tues day night at Eagles hall under the auspices of the St. Joseph's T. B. 6 L.. Association. The two actors were stopped by the young actor-to-be on their way down Broadway and were to be big actors banquet in Bridge port next week.
 E Director Toomey, who has made quite a reputation as leader of the musical comedies previously present. ed by the Barnum avenue boys, has taken the name tsAn Actors Banquet'' for this years play which according g to the sale of tickets will surpass all previous efforts made by the St. Joes. On account of the length of the per formance the show will start prompt Iy at 8:15. Dancing will be in or der after the show with Ma1oney's orr chestra furnishing the musical mum bers.

On the other hand, therel has been an almost continuous increase from year to year since 1900 In the death rates from cancer. organic heart dis ease and endocarditis, nephritis, and Bright's disease. The most marked increase for any one of the most i'm portaut 12 causes of death was that in the rate for cancer, which rose from 63 per 100000 population in 1900 to 7s.9 in 1913, and in only two cases did the rate for any year be- tween 1900 and 1918 show 8 de- crease as compared with the preced- ing year.
 Deaths from Suicides and Violence.
 There were s,98s suicides in the registration area during the year 1913, the rate being 15.8 per 1oO, 900 populations slight decrease as compared with 1912, when the rate was 16.
 In the registration area there were 5S,67S deaths from ytolenceC incIud- ing homicide and legal execution but excluding suictde34 corresponding to a death rate of 92.5 per 100, 900 pop ulation. This rate shows a consid- erable increase as compared with that for 1912, which was sS.9.
 Deaths Cauced by Automobiles and
 Horses.
 That the automobile, in spite of the rapidity with which it has comesinto general use, is still less deadly than the horse, might be inferred from the fact that the mortality incident to its operation was less in 1918 than that chargeabae. directly and indirectly, to mans faithful but sometimes cratic friend. During the year the mum Der of deaths resulting from autorno- bile accidents and injuries was 24BS while the number due to injuries and accidents caused by other vehicles 6prfncipa1ly horse drawn) was B.

A BOOM IN AMERICAN SHIFTS

tF'rom The New York Repub1ic.l
 The most remarkable change since the time of the Napo1eonic wars has come suddenly to the American ship building industry. The last day of December 1914, closed one of the poorest years the American shipyards have had in a decade. Today every shipbuiIding concern from Baths in Maine, down to Newport News. in Virginia, is working to ins fullest ca pacity. One of the largest companies has ordered sufficient to keep six thousand men employed full time for from two to three years. Contracts have been closed for forty eight ocean vessels and negotiations are pending Cor sixty more. Prices have advanced fifteen per cent, although that fact is not significant A British company has placed an order for the building of two ships in an American yard, a thing never heard of before, and it is likely to order two more. Apparently the American merchant marine has entered upon another period of ex- pansion. The ships ordered and those tor which marine architects are now drawing plans embrace not only pas senger vessels for the coaatwise trade but freighters for the Pacific and South American service, big cargo carriers for the trangAtlantic business. and oil tankers to go anywhere and everywhere.

THE HIGH COST or DIsTRrB-
 UTTNG FooD PRODUCT


 Awide range Of plans is being tried in the endeawor to bring back the old time conditions of direct trade be- tween the producer and consumer. or at least between producer and retail- CT.
 Our method attaining some popu- larity. is the public market idea. Farmers drive in. or send in some member of the family or hired man with stocks of goods. Several far
 ners may combine to send in supplies to the stalls
 Such markets depend for their sue cess on several conditions The Amer ican people will not tolerate Door goods. Unless some market director has the absolute power to inspect the stock and condemn. unfit articles for stock and condemn unfit articles for sale at that market, and unless he exercAseA that power strictly, a great deal of poor truck will be worked off That will give the market a had name, and outside stores will be preferred.
 Another essential for Enccess is a good system Of rural trAnSportatton. If the farms supplying the market are reached only over poor or rough roads, the daily transportSfson of goods in small lots become too cost 1y. If there is good trolley or rail connections with outIaying farms, the chance cf keeping up regular and fresh supplies is much better.
 A third essential is that the public gives up it's lazy reliance on delivery wagons. and carry their own bundles.
 Efforts are being made all over the country by agricultural colleges. farm bureaus. cts, to interest city people in buying from the farmer by parcel post and express. Containers are being devsced to carry regular sup plies Of eggs and butter. chickens. greens cts. It is asserted that a group of city families should be able to pay five cents a dozen more for eggs, five cents pound more for butter, than the farmer now Eets. and still underbid the grocer five cents each. This seems. to be a hope rather than a demonstrated fact But there is something in the idea The retail dealer, however. if he is enterprising in seeking opportunities for direct pur- chase of goods and if he uses the aid aid of newspapers to reach out and broaden has trade, occupies an fmpreE- naFble position.

BERl IN JUBlLANT OVER BIG VICTORY
 IN EAST PRUSSIA

EBerlin, Feb. 1s.-The morning after the victory in East Prussia by Field Marshal Von H1ndenburgs forces, finds the capital in great jubilation. The victory is especially prized be- cause of the frustration of plans for a strong offensive which the Russians have been preparing in. this region.
 The capture of 26,OO0 prisoners re- ported in the German official conan9u- nicatio means that virtually an entire army corps has been put out of the fighting. The fact that the number of captured is comparatively small is commented on in some quarters as in- dicating thatsthe Russians, who have already lost a third of their artillery through capture are now insuh9ciently Tequipped in this arm tof the service.
 The press expresses hope for the further. good news from the battles still proceeding in some parts of the eastern line.
 The children in the schools were given q holiday today and flags are flying all over the city in honor of the Fy4ctory.

Americans Miss Chances.

London, Feb. I s.The Birmingham Post says experienced export buyers find no evidence of any widespread ef- fort on the part of American manu- facturers to match German patterns of hand tools. steel toys, and the like In all cases in which The Posts infor- mants have placed orders in the Unit ed States in the last six months they have done so because the American patterns themselves offered some att tractive features and these orders would probably have been placed even if there had been no cessation of Ger man supply 5
 The view is expressed that America is unlikely to be more successful than this country in catering for the inn- mense native populations abroad, es- pecially in Africa and the East which German traders have sought with some success to make their own. At the same time these experts admit that up to the present time they have not prevailed upon English factories to produce very many of the thous- ands of cheap lines they may have for the asking.

lAilla Georse Econosllizes.

London Feb. 13.-King George is setting an example of economy in wartime to his subjects, much as Elm peror William is doing in Germany. M. Cedard. the head chief at Bucking- ham Palace, has agreed to accept a 50 per cent reduction in his salary dur ing the war. His salary. was $12, 500 per annuln, so the reduction will save the Kings private purse $6,250 year.
 The cooking at the palace is now. of the plainest character and of 8 kind that might be found in any fairly weIl-to-do house. It could be per- formed quite efficiently by one of the assistant cooks
 The average daily cost of the royal dinner prior to the war was estimated at $4.65. The nu1nber of persons excluding the King and Queen and members Of the royal family, who dine at the royal table is usually three.
 There were twelve assistant male cooks at the palace before the war. or theses seven enlisted. but the pres ent stan is still far larger than is, re- 111red.
