Since the makers and producers of
sensational plays discovered that the
authorities and the public would tolerate
outspoken discussions Of the social evil,
there has been a scramble among a few
Of them TO put out the newest and
bo!dest display Of the manners and ad-
ventures OF prostitutes.
Those whose appetite to view the soiled
sid Of life has not been glutted: those
who believe that the problems Of this
phase Of viciousness still need airing
before young minds, and those others
who love to sentimentalize over the
alleged harshness Of the world toward
stTaying women, will all find matter for
approval in the play given at Polls this
weeks The Eternal Magdalene," by
Robert H. Mclaughlin.
The authors theme is prostitution
itself, as an institution. and he dwelIs
on its antiquity, its inevitabIeness. and
its renOwn in history, In support of his
professed moral purpose aimed at the
hypocrisy and uncharitable attitude of
civic and clerical reformers Elijah
Bradshaw, an exemplary citizen and
leader IN a movement to abolish a
segregated district, falls asleep after
reading over a harsh and uncompromis-
ing statement he has prepared for the
press. He dreams a couple of acts, after
NAG IldAllltE Ol y NeSSdBe mars,
in which his own family is brought to
ruin and disgrace. so that in the end
when he awakes he tears up the press
statement.
The visitation of Mary Of Magdala her
self, commissioned by the Saviour to go
down the ages ministering to unfortunate
women, is a striking conception, which,
in more sincere and expert hands. might
be the making OF a great play. In Brad
shaw's dream, she assumes the role Of
a modern woman of the underworld, who
becomes a servant in Bradshaw's house
and goes about advising and consoling
TIL she brings about his change Of views.
The selection Of Miss EugenIe Blair for
the role Of the Magdalene Is most fortu-
nate. Her appearance here will be of
Interest TO her many friends in Wash
ington, where she once made her home.
The piece is fairly well acted. without
any very weak spots in the cast the
best, aside from Miss Blair, being Wilson
Reynolds at Bradshaw: Arthur Davis as
an evangelist OF the Billy Sunday type
and Albert Gebhardt, as Bradshaw's son
The one setting is handsome and the
stage management excellent, especially
the handling Of the lights IN the very eff
tective scenes marking the advent and
departure Of the Magdalene
Taken as whole, the play Is we'll
worth seeing.

Astrologers read this as an unfortunate
day. Although Uranus Is in benefc as

GOLF IS BECOMING

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Americans
interested in sport, returning from
Japan, report that the Japanese are
rapidly assimilating Occidental sports
in general, just as they did baseball
following its introduction into the
land of Nippon. Golf. tennis and mo-

hundreds and some of the Japanese

MOTOR TRUCK
IS PUT TO A
SEVERE TEST
BY Manufacturer and It is.
Driven 10000 Miles in
Two Years.

There was q time not long ago In
the motor car industry when a man
ufacturer's most closely guarded sec
rets were the lessons he learned from
work. done by his experimental de-
partment. Gradually, however, 1t
has been realized that general conf
dence In the motor car and motor
truck as a part OF everyday life and
even everyday necessity could be i'm
planted best by telling the public
Just what his experiments had shown.
This was the feeling that actua-
ted certain motor truck manufac-
eurer recently when he finished 3d.
600 mile truck test. This test be-
gan two years ago when the manu-
facturer installed an internal gear
driven axle In one OF his own trucks
although at that time he was using
another form Of final drive. For three
months this truck was run night ana
day. One OF the favorite means OF
testing the truck and primarily the
axle was to run II at an angle up a
steep railroad embanKment, across
the tracks at the top and then down
the other side. After three months
the truck was put in factory service
and for about twenty-one months has
averaged over fifty miles day.
The axle was then taken down for
inspection and 1t was found that
practically the only wear was about
one-sixty-fourth OF an inch on the
teeth at the pitch line OF the large
internal gear. This wear did not act
against the nolselessness Of the axle
In any way nor affect Its efficiency.
This result was considered all the
more remarkable as the gear had not
been fabricated In the two years 1t
had been in use.
The large internal gear was OF un-
hardened steel and from the wear
go at least 100000 miles and prob
ably $4,000 miles more than that,
With the hardened gear now in use
engineers believe there would prac-
tically be no limit to the life OF an
axle Of this type and that at min
imum 1t would outlast all other
working parts of the truck.
Republic trucks have this constIuc-
ton. They are handled in this city
by the Coleman Garage Company.

MAY MOVE BRIDGE
TO SAND SPRINGS
Commercial Club COnsults
With Commissioners
. About Matter.

At the regular meeting of the Com
mercial club of Sand Springs on Mon
day night. a committee was appointed
to take up at once with the commits
sioners of Tulsa county steps neces-
sary for the removal of the old bridge
spanning the Arkansas river at this
point to a point across the Arkansas
in the vicinity of Sand Springs The
old bridge at Tulsa Is being replaced
by a modern bridge and the old struc-
ture will do service seven or eight
miles up the river.
Sand Springs is the largest COM
munity in the county outside of Tulsa
and is badly feeling the necessity of a
permanent river crossing near it. The
good road that has been built between
Tulsa and Sand Springs and Wekiwa
will have lead-o off connecting with
the bridge and will furnish the best
way possible for residents Of the
southwest part of the county to reach
the county capital. Most of these
are now juorneying to Sapulpa on
account Of the lack Of good roads and
river crossing. The growth of Sand
Springs has also created the demand
for crossing Of the Arkansas river
near 1t, and the committee appointed
on Monday night is for the purpose OF
helping the county commission in any
way possible to bring about the early
removal of the old Tulsa bridge tC

would prove that only Bradbury,
Mrs Jenkins or VIII Martin. negro
houseboy, could have killed Jenkins
and that he would prove that Martin
is innocent. He said that the physi-
clan who was called after the shoot
ing would testify that Bradbury was
extremely nervous until after Jenkins
died after which he regained his
composure. He also said the physi-
clan would testify that Mrs. Jenkins
exhibited no sign of grief over the
death of her husband.

pleted this morning. At the con-
clusion Of the prosecutors address,
