The big musical entertainments. es-
pecially those known as "revues." have
become progressively expensive. In
1907 "Z.gfeld Follies." the first OF the
series. was conslder0i a handsome pro-
duction. The actual outlay was s32 90.
The Follies OF the current season cost
not less than $1,000. and -. the big

time at the National Theater. next
Monday night, at least $4,000. will have
been expended before the curtain rises

When excessive amounts are mon
toned In print regarding the cost OF
theatrical productions. the laymen in
the audience naturally think these fig-
ures are exaggerated. as there are SO
many expensive >concomitants of these
big beautiful shows in the way Of light
and other effects that are not seen and

A conservative estimate OF the cost
in detail OF Around the Map by one
who has been intimately concerned in
its production will be accounted for as
follows:
The painting Of the sixteen scenes
and two portals by the most expensive
. scenic artist in the world. Joseph Cr-
ban. $4,000.
For the material OF same and con-
struction. $1,000.
Costumes. which are from the most
fashionable modistes In this country. at

HARRISON LAW
MADE STRICTER

Two important decisions OF the
treasury department. bearing on the
Harrison drug act. have been re-
ceived by Internal Revenue Collect
or Brady. Both tend to make the
law more difficult to evade and will
undoubtedly put check on At
tempts being made to get around It..
One ruling Is to the effect that
druggist may designate some one
to sign narcotic orders to wholesal-
ers In his absence. but he must give
that person power Of attoroney and
file It with the collector. The other
ruling provides that, in cases where
dealers claim that narcotic order
forms have been lost In transit. dup
licates will be issued only on the
afiidavit OF the dealer. and II the
originals later turn up. they must
be cancelled.

Alden Smith would get Michigan's
vote In the national convention.
and that Elihu Root would be the
nominee II he were 10 years young.
er and willing to accept the honor.
Senator Townsend told the crowd
that the only safety OF the United
States lies in being prepared for
war.
II believe" he said, that we
should build four battleships at q
time instead of two. and that our
standing army should be increased
to 100000 men,"
Senator Weeks accused the Dem
ocrats Of having failed to fulhll their
promise 10 lower the cost OF living
by reducing the tarin. The tarih
had been reduced to such an extent,
he said. that manufacturing In GER
tain branches has ceased to be
profitable. but the cost Of living has
not been decreased. He declared
that Detroiters cannot Judge OF con-
ditions in other parts Of the country
by their own prosperity; that the
west is full of idle men. He said
that American investments OF 81

in value to $500. 100000 because Of

1T is not essential" said Senator
Weeks. that We have big stand

call out 100000 men organized like
the Swiss reserve forces. With such
force. II would not be necessary
greatly TO increase the standing
army. The present war has shown
