Apr eciatiVe audiences yesterday
greeted the first showing at the Regent
of Marguerite Clark in still Waters"
a drama of circus and canal-boat life,
and the same will be repeated to-day.
Having established a reputation as a
superb comedienne and coquette, Miss
Clark merits recognition as an emo
tional actress by her work in the role
of Nesta, the little girl who is to all
intents and purposes prisoner on
canal boat where she is kept by her
grandfather in the hope OF preventing
her from running away to become a
circus performer. That was the un-
happy fate Of Nestas mother, and the
old man lives in terror lest the little
girl answer the same call. The grand
fathers fears are realized but not until
Nesta has met and fallen in love with
young doctor who lives near the
canal. The part which the doctor plays
in saving Nesta from the ringmaster
and the discovery of the identity of
the invalid Pierette, who is her mother,
whom Nesta supplants in the circus,
bring the story to thrilling and dra-
matte close

TWO very interesting figures in the
Golonlais Triangle drama during the
urst hali OF the week are Lillian Gish
the much discussed beauty, who is the

RosIlka Dolly, the thousand -doilar-a-

plays sympathetically and looks the
part of the young unsophisticated
southern girl, who is married to a man

interesting, whether in joy or disap-
polntment because of her natural
sraces and charm of personality.
koZsika Dolly has the allure suited

Speaking of Mrs. Fiske in "Erst
while susan" the play from Helen H.
Martins novel, "Barnabetta," the New
York sun has to say:
Mrs. Fiske plays the wife of a crusty
farmer in the coal mining regions Of
Pennsylvania. She has come to his
house TO marry MIN III answer to an
advertisement IN a newspaper and finds
him already twice a widower, the father
of two crops of children. 1t IS in one
of these, 'Barnabetta,' that she especi-
ally interests herself. To rescue this
child from the tyranny of her father
and brothers she consents to become
the wife of the old man. Her ministra-
tions not only serve to tighten the
gloom of existence in the 'Drear' family
for this is the name of the home into
which she moves-but save 'Barna-
betta.'
Mrs. Fiske is said to have a part
admirably suited to her best comedy
spirit in the new play, which intro
duces to the public a new form of i'm
pres2rios in Corey, Williams and Ryter,
who are soon to present Mrs. ftske and

WHERE GASOLINE
 HAS GONE. EuRoPE'S ENORMOUS DEMAND FOR MOTOR FUEL DE
 SCRIBED.
(McClure's Magazine.)

(McClure's Magazine.)
 At the present rate of consumption the market demand for gasoline can hardly be supplied for another twenty years. We are literlly facing a motor car fuel famine. Is it any wonder that gasoline costs more than S5 cents in Canada? That we, in the United States. are paying nearly as much? That gasoline may soon be worth 40 cents gallon?
 At once you ask. Why not lift more oil from the earth and distil of the gasoline?" Oil refiners would if they could. The truth is that our oil fields are rapidly nearing exhaustion. New fields may be discovered. it is true, but the United States geological sur vey regards the most likely regions with no very optimistic eye. It may be that oil may be found in pockets still to be tapped in undeveloped parts of the glebe-in Africa and the Far East, for example. But who would build industrial hopes on mere chance? Besides. Europe looks to us for much of its oil. especially in this war of motor cars, aeroplanes and Zep- pelins
 Before the war we produced more than 65 per cent of the worlds out put. We must be delivering more than our normal share to Europe now. In 1915 we sent enough gasoline abroad to supply 350.O0O cars. and nearly all of it was shipped to France and England. Russia has her own pools into which she can dip with generous hand. And Germany-what of Germany?
 We read of Von Hindenburg shift ing whole army corps by means of motor cars in a bleak Russian coun- try threaded by railroads too few in number for his straegic purpose. Where did he obtain his gasoline? Partly from Rumania (with pronounc- ed Russian political affiliations) and partly from Galicia. Who knows but tens of thousands died in the German ranks for the sake of Galician oil fields2 Who knows but barrels of gasoline were purchased with barrels of German blood? Who knows but We might now see the dawn of peace if Russia had succeeded in retaining Galicia and it's petroleum and in fore ing Rumania on the side of the allies?

HELMETS SAVED BRITISH
 SOLDIERS FROM WOUNDS

LONDON. June 1.-The value of the helmets which are now being sup piled to the British troops at the front is indicated in an article in the cur rent issue of the British Medical Journal. which says that in a big fight where the Britishers were wear ing the new helmets the number of penetrating gunshot wounds of the head was equal to less than one-half per cent, and the total number of fractures of the skull was under one have been set down, upon the exper- fence of recent wars. as accounting for Is per cent of all casualties, and the latest data show that. in trench fights at least. the percentage is as high as 25.
 "The British helmet" the Journal explains. protects the side and back of the neck and the temples and the upper part of the face as well, Of course, as the top and sides of the head It has also a smooth round top. It stands away from the head about one-third of an inch all around, the weight being borne by padded leath- CT band fixed to the inner side of the surrounding steel by a series of India rubber buffets. each about the thick ness of a lead pencil and about one inch long. This detail of construction constitutes perhaps the most import ant difference between the British and French helmets. The buffers are capable of diffusing and neutralizing the force of blow. which. falling on the closely fitted French helmet, would be conducted direct to the brain-pan.'

What is leap year doing to cut
down the supply of eligible bachel-
ors? Ten years ago it was said
that the proportion of bachelors to
married men was increasing tre-
mendously, and the large number of
bachelor apartments going up in the
cities were held out as proof. 1t may
be that the rural districts and the
small towns have found the secret
of loves success, which is being ov-
erlooked in the cities. Maybe the
city man is so busy lodging the cars
and the confidence men that the love
god hasn't a chance to take aim at
him. Nevertheless it is a fact that
the small town is once more acknow-
lodged the hope of the nation. The
fact that leap year comes once every
now and then is the sole balm of the
city. When the year arrives when
man no longer proposes, but is pro-
posed to the crop of maidens dwin-
dies somewhat, and it is up to the
economists to find a way to ever
things up-to make the women &c
more in one year than the men car

lem, and we suggest, as a possible
solution, more visits to the countr!
