BEN GREET PLAYERS.
They Will Present 1.-THE Merchant of
Venice" on Washburn Campus.

The Ben Greet Woodland Players
will be seen on the campus of Wash
burn college Friday evening. May %,
in THE Merchant of Venice The
performances of this company are
given with all the beauty and simplic-
ity, so in keeping with sylvan setting
and everywhere the novelty of the
presentation has added much to the
pleasure and interest felt in the pro-
auctions. The play to be given here
has been selected especially for its
fitness to out-of-door presentation and
nothing 1ovelier can be imagined than
this play of the great master being
given in natures settings for which so
many of his plays were originally
written. The night effect on the
woodland stage is weird1y beautiful.
The lights and shadows on the trees
in the background produce an almost
unreal aspect, so fantastic are the
shadows cast on the scene.
The ideal of the Ben Greet Wood
land Players is to give the plays in
such a way that the auditor gains the
impression of reality rather than see
ing a company of players reading thei
lines. That they have lived up to their
ideals successfully may be evidenced
by the fact that Mr.. Greet has been
asked to send his company to all of
the universities and colleges of i'm
portance throughout the country
where the audiences are far more
critical than are ever found in a thea

SPEEDING THINGS UP
Jones & Birch Now i'm Modern Quar-
tiers on Ground Floor.

'Well why shouldn't the office of
q printing house be just as neat and
free from confusion as any other bust
ness Officer That's a query that may
have occurred to many a buyer of
printing. Jones & Birch-in their new
ground floor location at 923 Kansas
avenue-have proved that such a
thing is not only possible, but give
the impression that It IS natural.
A casual visitor would never sus-
pect the amount of busy activity of
the actual printing plant connected
with the office. Handsome, SubStan-
tial, modern office furniture and an
air of dignified business methods is
the impression the caller gets. Jones
&; Birch invite business men to call
and they do it with display advertis-
ing which appears elsewhere in to-
nights paper.
Being firm advocates of speeding
things up the firm has installed ad-
ditional machinery in the new location
to help out that policy. The long row
of presses is always busy turning out
jobs that run into the thousands

200 HOUSES WIRED.
In Every Part of the City Homes

Seems as if everybody has decided
all at once to- brighten up by cleo

shouldn't they. with the many adj
vantages and comforts electric cur
rent brings, in addition to the best
and most sanitary lights, and with
the new low rate of cents per
kilowat and 40 cent minimum?
Anyway, the spirit of home i'm

IS The HOUSE WIRED?
That Is the First Thing Prospective
Tenants Ask.

The importance the average per-
son attaches to electricity in the
home is shown in the easiness and
facility with which houses are rent
ed that are wired for electricity and
the difficulty of renting where the
house is not wired.

mating engineer. met three prop
erty owners the past week who
stated to him that invariably the
first question a prospective rent
er asked about a house was, us ii

by. the New York World this morning

garding the sinking of the Lusitania:
1T is deplorable, if true, that so
many lives have been lost. I am
shocked to hear the news, especially
that American lives have been saori-
feed.
But it was absolutely criminal for
the Cunard company to carry, and for
the British government to allow the
line to carry neutral passengers in
ship which was transporting explo-
sives and munitions of war to be used
by Great Britain and her allies.
@'The ships manifest will show that
she carried a large amount of picric
acid and other explosive materials.
They certainly were not intended for
peaceful uses. They were to be used
against Germany and Germany had to
defend herself against them. The best
way was to destroy the ship, and such
destruction was amply justified under
the rules of war;
