Vaudeville at the Orpheum.

Three attractions share the headline
position on the current bill at the
Orpheum, but it was Sarah Padden
who struck the popular fancy of the
Sunday evening audience in an in
tensely dramatic one-act playlet, THE
Clod.' Miss Padden portrays a peas
ant character living on farm on the
border line between the north and
the south during the civil war. No
patriotism, no love of country occu-
pies her 'mind, and she regards the
warning soldiers as nuisances and
pests which interfere with her sleep
and comfort Only the insulting
southern soldier who called her cof-
fee poison" aroused her spirit suf-
hciently to protect wounded Union
warrior who sought safety in her
home. Miss Padden portrays the
slovenly character with listlessness
that seems reality. Her company is
excellent and the playlet carries the
punch that wins.
Claire Rochester, prima donna, who
fearlessly intermingles the classical
with the popular, introduces herself
via the moving picture screen, show
ing her at the wheel OF her automo-
bile, in which she made record trip
from coast to coast, and then appears
on the stage in her car to sing several
numbers in excellent voice, Ralph
Dunbar's Maryland Singers sing
songs OF the sixties, and, closing the
hill held the audience Ia the end

AS 1T SEEMS TO BE.
The old maid speaks:

"Ah, how ! envy married women.
What a wonderful thing it must be
to have the love and protection OF a
husband, to have some strong arm to
stand between you and the world,
some buffer between you and the
hardships of existence.
How sweet it must be to have a
husband to love and cherish you, to
feel that you are the one woman in
the world TO him; and that as the
years go By his affection grows ten
derer and more chivalrous. land to
know that in his eyes, at least you
will never grow old and homely, but
always, be the fair young bride he
married. 4t
1T must be wonderful to watch Of
an evening for the coming OF the step
of the master of the house, and to
think Of the long evenings Of perfect
companionship that you will spend
with the man who is literally your
other half, talking over together all
the little happenings of the day, Sc
cure in a perfect companionship and
understanding.
mo wonder the organ peals out
The Voice That Breaches Ger Eden
at weddings. Marriage is Paradise
regained for woman.
"Of course, Pm not so badly off as
things go for old maids. l have an
ample income for all my needs, ana
plenty of interests to keep me alert
and alive, and hosts of good friends,
and affectionate relatives, but | am
alone. have no man to stand be-
tween me and the world. | must
fend for myself and look out for my

1--WE got no husband to tell me I'm

Dreams That DO Not Come True
IL Views of Old Maid and Married Woman
BY DOROTHY DIX.
AS 1T REALLY IS.
The married woman speaks:


Il wonder what makes any woman
fool enough to get married!
ITS slavery. That's what it is.
Nothing but slavery, that an idiot OF
young girl gives herself into with
out knowing what she's doing. I'll
wager that if marriage licenses had
return coupons attached to them that
there isn't one bride in hundred that
would not be back in her girlhood
inside Of three months.
They talk about husband pro-
tecting his wife. HUH There's one
person he doesn't protect you from,
and that's himself. So far as l can
see, the chief thing a man gets mar
ried for is t6 get somebody that he
can vent all OF his i'll temper and
grouchiness on.
II know my husband talks to me
in way that he would never dream
of speaking to any other human be-
ing on earth, and especially as he'd
never speak to anything else that
wore skirts. He's polite and affable

mess with and chivalrous to women
in society, but one of the unwritten
laws of matrimony is that you don't
have to show any good manners to-
ward mere wife.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES what every
girl really marries for. Not one hus-
band in hundred ever holds a real
conversation with his wife. He goes
to the club of an evening, or else
drowses over the paper and grunts
when he is spoken to. If you'd sub
stitute store dummy for the average
husband his wife would never find out
the difference 80
Perhaps there are husbands that
pay their wives compliments, and still
take an interest in holding their hand
after the first year Of matrimony.
Marriage is no picnic for woman.
How | envy the old maids VINO have
their own pocketbooks, and their own
latch keys, and nobody who has a
legal right to tell them OF their faults
and criticise their appearance"

WOMEN OF INDIA
ARE MERE SLAVES
Widows Worked Half to Death,
NJ Treated and Despised,
Used to Kill Selves.
CHILD MARRIAGE is BAD

There are 10000 temple prosti-
tutes' in India" declared Miss Daisy
Wood, missionary in Calcutta, India,
who spoke yesterday morning at the
Pearl Memorial Methodist church.
These prostitutes are employed to
support the religion of India. Think
OF the difference between such re-
ligion and the Christian religion. The
latter has emancipated woman and
raised her to plain on an equal with
man.
THE condition of the women OF
India is indescribably wretched. Child
marriage is one OF the blights. The
British government has made law
that children cannot be demanded by
their husbands until they have reached
the age Of II years. The betrothal
takes place when they are mere in
fants. One day a baby was brought
TO our mission. We we're told the
mother had died and her age was II
years.
After marriage the women OF India
are not allowed to see man. On the
streets OF India you see nothing, no
women. They are inundated in their
own houses. " they get sick they
cannot see aIdoctor. Nearly hall the
3l5,000.000 people Of India are prac-
tically prisoners.
Widows Ill-Treated.
"Widowhood is still more horri-
Bile thing in India than wifehood.
There are 23000,000 widows in that
great land. The lot OF the widow is
terrible She is worked half to death,
ill-trcated, despised. Before the gov
eminent prohibited it, most widows
'-Teferred to commit 'suttee' which
INSISTED Of burning themselves alive
Oh the funeral pyrc where the hus-
balls bodies were cremated. Many
Of the widows of India are children
ranging from a year to Is years OF
age, for child is considered Just as
much widow If the man to whom
she is betrothed dies before she
reaches the, age Of II years as il he
dies after that time.
The vast difference in the posi-
tons of women in Christian nations
and in pagan nations is one OF the
most striking endorsements OF Chris
tianity."
A large number OF the congregation
signed pledge cards for regular con-
tributions to foreign missions.

"Truxton King" at the Boyd.

Having saved the kingdom and
throne OF Graustark, and welded
Princess Yetive and Lorry Grenfall,
it wasn't much OF job to provide
them with progeny and thus continue
the dynastic succession. But Atropos,
the inhexible, nipped her shears, and
the fond lovers passed on, leaving a
boy to be reared by the American
friend OF the father and fine old
chief OF police. They brought the
prince up as good, healthy boy, but
became so engrossed in him they
overlooked former enemy of the
throne, who was both wicked and en-
ergetic. This count planned we'll to
overthrow the government, murder
the little prince, and take over the
crown for his own. He had all set
for the occasion, and only awaited the,
coming Of the twenty-sixth Of July to
spring his trap.
Right here is where Truxton King
came on the scene. He is not quite
so resourceful as Lorry Greenfall, but
he's some American, at that. He pies
up the wicked counts scheme by win
ming the heart Of the young woman
chosen to toss the bomb loaded with
TINT, or something equally sudden,
into the carriage Of the prince, and
between them they thwart the anar
chists, save the prince and the throne,
and one Is led to believe that in some
future tale by George Barr Nc
Cuteheon they will be found happily
wed, or, maybe, their descendants will
be, aiding other rulers OF Graustark
to hang onto the throne of their
fathers.
Grace Hayward's dramatization OF
the novel is good. She has filled her
play with many little touches of
home life, contrasting interesting
scenes with the little boy prince
as the central figure. with dismal dun
geons in which bloody-minded vii
lians round out their plots and say
'"Ha, hal as they think of the TWEEN
ty-sixth Of July and what it means to
them. She has upset one of the plans
OF the author, too; while the presence
of Truxton King is not minimized,
the real dramatic interest OF the play
centers in Olga Platinva, the girl
anarchist, very well presented by Miss
Margaret Neville. Other characters
are we'll conceived and vigorously

DIVIDE WORLD into
ECONOMIC STRATA
London Chamber of Commerce
Would Abrogate Treaties
to This End.
BASED ON ENGLISH FAVOR

Washington, Sept. l7.-Division Of
the world into economic strata sepa-
rated by tariff walls and classified as
allies Of the British empire, friendly
neutrals, unfriendly neutrals and
enemy neutrals is urged by the Lon
don Chamber OF Commerce. To clear
the ground for this world reconstruc-
ton the chamber concludes in spe-
cial report, a copy OF which has just
been received here, that abrogation Of
all most favored nations" treaties, in
GLIDING that with the United States,
is inevitable.
Free trade would be abandoned and
series OF graded tariffs proposed in
line with the present war groupings
OF the nations. All imports would be
divided as follows:
Wholly manufactured goods; SEMI
manufactured goods and articles sole
ly used as raw material in industries;
manufactured foodstuffs, and raw
toodstutts.
English Favored.
All parts OF the British empire and
| its allies would pay minimum duties;
| friendly neutrals which allow the
United Kingdom more favored treat
ment would pay twice as much; other
neutrals, giving preferences to other
powers and including neutrals which
might be swung into the Teutonic
commercial system, would pay still
greater tax; and all "enemy& neutrals
would pay the maximum duties, run
ming up as high as so per cent.
Roughly il is estimated in the report
kthat this change from free trade to
protection would net a yearly revenue
OF about $375,000,000.
Every precaution is urged in the re-
port to assuage neutral nations to
prevent them from making CONNER
cial alliances with enemy countries
after the war, The difficulties arc
spoken OF as follows:
Must Abrogate Treaties.
at must also be remembered that
our allies have tariff arrangements
still in force with other foreign coun-
tries which ii is assumed must be
abrogated before any preferential
trade arrangements can be made with
the British empire as whole In ad-
dtion the United Kingdom has most
favored nation clauses with certain
foreign countries, including the United
States. These il is assumed would
have to be terminated, with or with
out compensatory advantages,
British trade domination also
would be furthered under the cham
ber's plan by reorganization Of the
consular service anti-dumping laws,
the formation OF a ministry OF COM
mercc, with seat in the cabinet, and
the founding OF large central credit
bank.
Enemies Licensed.
In addition to the discriminatory
tariffs, subjects OF countries now at
war with Great Britain would not be
allowed to live or trade in England
except under license.
