An ome.ader,s First Arrest.

The first shock of arrest and imprfs- onment is to the first offender the great crisis of his life. He realizes suddenly and vividly that the state is not mere ly a political abstraction out of long forgotten school book, but a thing alive, armed with jaw and claw The effect of this is overwhelming. There lives no human animal more penitent and plastic than the first offender on his first day in prison. On that day of all days the state can mold him easily to it's civic needs. Turn him over to a man who believes in the bottom good in him; teach him trade whereby he may learn to support himself honestly when released; give him share ia his earnings, so that he may, even though in prison, support his innocent wife and helpless children or, if he is alone save bit of capital against that black est day of Iiberation-in other words, give him work and hope, the two things which all men need in order to Hve-and you will have set him on the road to citizenship Deprive him of work and hope and you will ss surely have set him on the road to criminal ity.-ErOm s4rhe Man Tn the Cage"

 Crowley was going west on Elm street on his motorcycle when he sob- served a wet section of the roadway near Harrison street corner He at tempted to shut off his power, but through some mechanical defect of the machine he shot into full speed. which is estimated at between 40 and 50 miles an hour His only obstacle in reaching the Emergency hospital in a more direct manner than by the street was a hre-a1arm box at the in tersection of Harrison and Elm streets and a high banked wall front ing the Golden Hill hotel He hit both the result that the police signal globe surmounting the fire-aIarTn pc destal was shattered.

It is an esta ablished custom in China that a new company must Day divi- dends to it's shareholders from the ilrst years of it's existence, and this forms invariably clause of the articles of association. Some concerns which fan to realize a profit have to contract a high interest loan in order to pay divi- dends in full It is this practice that compels companies to contract loan after loan until they are plunged into Q helpless state. Furthermore, when a new company is established ft is from the start tied down to a system of commission paying.

The trade between India and Tibet has to be carried through lofty pass es between 14OO0 and 1S,O0O feet high. most of which are practically tmpassa- b1e during seasons of heavy rain and snow. Sheep and also crosses between yaks and ordinary cattle are used as beasts of burden. The most important route into Tibet from India is from Siliguri, near Darjeeling in northern Bengal, and across the small frontier state of Sikkim to Gyantse and Yatung in Tibet, the two leading trade nnarts authorized by the existing convention The other chief means of access to Tibet are from A1mora, in the north ern part of the united provinces, and from Sinla over the Simla-Tibet road to Gartok in western Tibet, which is at about 14.200 feet elevation above the sea.

s.DRIoMACY.1,

The coming of any one of MT. Chas- F'rohman's stars is always an occa- sion of interest in the course of a To- cal theatrical season. but the arrival of three at once, and this three dis tinguished and established players, be- comes something Of an unusual event. The remarkable announcement is made that MT. Frohman's 1ttri-star' combination, Wn. Gillette, Blanche Bates and Marie Doro will be seen at at Park theatre Monday, May 10. Sar- dou's play needs little or no introduc- ton. Since it's first performance in America in 1878 it has become a. classic, renowned for it's vivid char acter drawing, it's powerful situations, subtle plot and the enthralling interest with which the author holds his hear CTS attention as he unfo1ds "a really absorbing story. The revival of ttDip1omacy'' has been equipped by MT. Frohman. it is unnecessary to add, with all the thoroughness and pains taking good taste characteristic of Frohman productions. Surrounding the three stars is a group of disti- guished players, In important roles there are seen Bertha Fordyce, Jeff reys Lewis, Ma1ise Sheridan, Gustav Won Seyffertitz, Elliott Dexter, Norman Tharp, Giogio Majeronf, Henry Dorm ton and Ellis Smed1ey-
