A Woman's way,'' the play to be presented by the CaEburn stock cona- pany at t1le Lyric theatre next week, will be one of the biggest drawing cards of the season, if the advance sale of seats for the attraction may be taken as a criteroin. Already hun dreds of tickets have been disposed of for the weeks shows aud more are being sold every day. The play will open at the theatre Monday afternoon, Washington,s Birthday, and there is no doubt but that the ttS. R. O." sign will be hung, out for this holiday per- formance.

PLAZA

Yesterday was a big day at the cozy Plaza, for Manager Ca11an had ner- ry bill as he predicted and everything went over in style from the opening picture to the closing act. But 1t would have been difficult to award a blue ribbon since two of the acts, Al Bur ton & Go. and the Four Bards, made an even break on the applause and the others took a goodly share.
 Al Burton & Co. in their beautiful singing fantasy entitled Songs of To- day and Yesterday,'' was one of the most pleasing offerings to appear In local vaudeville circles in some time. MT Burton possesses a silvery voice of wide range and unusual calibre and it was shown to splendid advantage.
 The Four Bards displayed acrobatic talent that left no wonder in the minds of the audience that they should be referred to as vaudeville's greatest ac- robatic act The stunts they perform ed were marvellous. and they have a knack of doing theH1ysfha holds inter est at it's highest pitch and ushers in a few laughs now and then.
 The Minstrel Four proved popular in a clever comedy singing act that diff fers from anything fits kind ever seen here.
 Mardo and Hunter in their farce comedy, 'tThe Crazy Recruit had the laughs coming their way for hfteer 1 minutes.
 The Aerial Cromwe1Is were the causs of many rnurmurs of wondernent
 Hogan's Romance Upset" a Key stone comedy :'.The Star Boarder, and Mrs. Van Ruyter's Stratagem, a two part dramatic story, are sIowI on the movie curtain.

EMPIRE

John Emerson, who recently ap- peared at this theatre in the film yer sion of s"The Conspiracy,'' portrays the leading character in the Famous Play e1s-P Paramount feature, ''The Bach elor's Romance,'' which will be fea- tured in conjunction with the regular program offered today and tomorrow, at Keeney's Empire theatre.
 In this delightful comedy drama John Emerson portrays the role of David Holmes, the lovabIe bachelor only to be tripped head over heels in a violent love affair with his young pretty ward, Sylvia
 The ward comes to visit David at his home after spending most of her time in the country with her aunt. Sylvia meets and becomes great friends with a young man next door to his uncle's home who has the desire of becoming a great author.
 David hears of this and thinks that his ward is in love with the neighbor and when she tells him that they are to become engaged he tells her to dc so and be happy. She thinking that her guardian does not love her decides to become, engaged.
 The young man writes a story and 1 Sylvia goes to enter the story in a short story contest of which her guar dian is one of the judges. How the tan gle is finally strengthened out and the two who love and misunderstood are
 finally mated is developed in dra-
 natic climax that is both logical and ends with a happy finale.
 Mir Emerson is ably supported by an all star cast of players and the pro iductfon is elaborately mounted.

The device is exceedingly simple in
its construction, consisting mainly of
two rollers mounted on bracket. One
roller is substantially secured to the
bracket, while the lower one is mount
ed on pivot and supplied with a
handle, so that the lower roller may
be constantly adjusted with its rela-
tionship to the other roller. The towel
to be treated is drawn through the
rollers, while pressure is exerted on
the handle and the two rollers there
by pressed together.

A Rule-or-Ruin Policy.

A Rule-or-Ruin Policy.
The New York World is for
Wilson and it sometimes affects
to speak for Wilson. We wonder
if it speaks for Wilson when it
says: lone of two things will
happen in Washington at the
coming session of Congress. Eth
er the administrators program
will be adopted or there will be
no increase in the army and ma
Wy"
There can be only one inter-
probation of this language. 1t
means that the Wilson plan of
preparedness must be swallowed
in s entirety by Congress under
the painful alternative of leaving
the nation IN its present wretch
ed condition of military unreadi-
ness.
Yet it is already known that
there are not enough Democratic
votes in Congress to adopt the
Presidents plan. If that plan is
adopted it must be by Republican
support. Does the World wish
the country to understand that
Republicans must vote for legis-
lation in the framing of which
they are to have no voice? Is the
Presidents recent and sudden
conversion to the cause of pre-
paredness so thorough that he
has already mastered all the es-
sentials of the problem? Has he,
after a few weeks, been able to
formulate a plan which, running
counter as it does to that of the
experts in the War and Navy de-
partments, is nevertheless super
ior to anything that those ex-
perts would suggest? Is the
President irfallible?
The policy which the World
suggests is a rule-or-ruin policy.
Such a policy has too often mark
ed this administration already
with consequent disaster to the
nations enterprise and honor.
If it is now purposed to apply
this policy with disaster to the
nations fate in case of war, that
fact should be plainly made
known. Is that what the World
wants the country to understand?
