81 Smiths Conviction-The Making
of Mazda Lamps. 81 Smith is not
progressive. He and mother insist
in using the old style kerosene lamp.
He will have none of this new tangled
electricity. His son, however, works
in the General Electric factory and
he persuades his father to visit him
at the factory and see how Mazda
lamps are made. This entirely con-
verts the old man and he has his
home wired for electricity. On the
trip through the factory many inter
esting pictures are shown Of blowing
the bulbs, the winding of the filament
the method of exhausting the bulb
from the tip, as well as tests Of the

adapted to imparting the interesting

WASTE IN LITIGATION.

The number of our courts and the public ex
pense Of maintaining them, with the vast vol
ume of litigation that is constantly going on at
great expense to the private litigants, suggests
an enormous charge upon industries and trade
of the interests involved, great deal Of which
is sheer waste that might be prevented by some
effective means of settling such disputes ''out
of court A joint committee Of the New York
CITY Chamber of Commerce and the New York
State Bar association has been engaged for
some time in devising plan for avoiding or
greatly diminishing this waste, which is one of
the things that affect the whole industrial and
business community by adding to costs and
prices which are diffused so as to deduct from
wages and add to what the ultimate consum
err has to pay.
This committee is said to have completed it's
work so far as to have final report framed
and submitted to its members for careful con-
sideration and such revision as may be found
desirable. 1t is expected that it will soon be
referred to the two organizations for adoption.
Certain rules said to have been devised,
classed under three heads, the prevention of
litigation cat its source,'' that is, be-
fore resort to any suit is proposed by either
party; prevention after the facts have been as
certained as in preparation for suit; and pre-
vention of actual trial after suit has been in
stituted. All this would involve careful and

LAW
A GOLD BRICK
Uncertainty of the Law 10 Beginning
to be Discovered by the Railroad
Brotherhooods.

TERRE FfAUTE, Ind, Nov. g.
Charles E. Hughes wound up his cam
paign in the middle west with a
speech here Wednesday night and
left shortly afterwards for points in
New York, the last state in which he
will appear before election.
In his speech here, Mr.. Hughes dis
cussed the Adamson bill at length.
81 am informed that the general
chairman has advised the local
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen
and Engineers Of the Pennsylvania
lines, east, that the Adamson bill is
establishing a new basis for reckoning
wages, will eliminate the payment OF
all arbitraries which are based upon
time made within the first eight hours
period of service.
"The uncertainty of the law is rec
ognized in various particulars. 1t IS
said what it will be decided to mean
no one can tell, as it is possible to con-
strue it several different ways. The
chairman also adds This law does not
change the application of the hours
Of service law. The company still has
tho right to work you sixteen hours
within any twenty-four consecutive
hours if they so DESIRE
II note that the chief of one of the
locals of the brotherhood has ascer-
tanned the effect of the law on those
who complete their run in less than
eight hours He says that If man
makes a hundred mile run in five
hours instead Of getting his full days
pay he will get only five-eighths OF
days pay when paid on the eight
hour basis. He also says that former
ly the railroad men were entitled to
pay for twenty-five miles whenever
called out, whether they were used
after reporting or not. But the Adam
son bill enacts a flat basis of eight
bours for the purpose of paying COM
pensation, while on the other hand 1t
does not establish an eight hour work
day.
~ think 1t will be found that the
Adamson bill is a gold brick for Ia
Dor. That it is not an eight hour
work day bill. There was not any
eight hour work day proposition In
volved in it. There never was.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Paramount Night at the Grand.


If you were a young Quaker girl
whose knowledge OF life was confined
to the narrow limits of your home
town and there came into it man OF
different type from any that you had
seen before; If this man won your
heart only to plunge you into despair
upon your discovery that he was al
ready engaged to another-would you
hate him for thus having unwittingly
caused you pain, or would you COLI
tinue to love deeply and silently?
These are some Of the situations
faced by the little Quaker girl Pa
tience, in the Famous Players Para
mount picture 1.-THE Reward of Pa
tience," in which Louise HUFF and Lot
tie Pickford appear at the Grand, to-
night only. In this case Patience suf-
fers in silence and even attempts to
do ali in her power to make life hap
pier for the man she loves when she
realizes that his wife does not care for
him and that she is deliberately ne
glecting his little child in order to en-
joy herself in her own selfish way.
So sweetly does Miss HUFF interpret
the role of friend Patience that the
self-sacrifices of this girl are as con-
vfncing and as real as life itself. Lot
tie Pickford, sister of the celebrated
Mary, returns to the screen in this
production, playing the role of the de-
linquent Mrs. Penfield. John Bowers.
who has done exceptionally clever
work in support of Mary Pickford, and
ether of the Famous Players stars, APP
pears in this production in the cast Of
which are also included Kate Lester
and Adolph Menjou.
Added to the feature program at the
Grand tonight is a comedy to interest
the children-and the grown-ups, too.
The regular opera house orchestra
will accompany the pictures tonight.

IMAGINARY REALISM.

# is refreshing to find man who will in
these days pin his faith in the matter of his
daily bread to the power Of imagination in our
public, and it is particularly interesting to find
that man in the theatrical profession where 1t
is apparently the aim to leave nothing to the
imagination. There is in New York City perl
patetic theatre known as the Portmanteau; It's
director has not only repertory OF plays,
players to play them but ready made theatre
which he packs into boxes and brings with
him, prepared to set it up in any good sized
room where there is electric light equipment for
his stage Illumination. It is necessarily a
simple stage and when in one Of his plays the
action requires that kettle be kept boiling
over a fire throughout the scene, he simply has
the kettle put conspicuously in front Of the
audience and frankly has the audience told to
imagine that it is boiling. The play is one that
has plenty of interest in it's personages and
what they say and do and it has proved sue
cess wherever it has been seen. This is a hap
nv reversal of most of our stage practice; we do
the kettle and the fire to perfection and trust
them to supply the interest that the, people and
action of the play so generally lack
1.-THE war has assumed routine phase on
the west 'front.' reads despatch from Lon
don. There is, when one stops to think Of it, a
terrible significance In the use OF the word
'routine' to denote what is happening. From
figures furnished by the governments of Great
Britain and France it is learned that almost
half a million men have been killed or
wounded in the past three months on the west
front in the armies of these two nations; the
losses of the Germans would make CHASTITY
total if added to this estimate. Yet the cores
pondent uses the word routine Understandings
enough in the sense that the grim business Of
killing issproceeding methodically.
If Secretary Bakers first attempt at revising
history had not met such strong disapproval

trace similarity between the battle of Lexng-

Twenty-one miles by rail to

That's the percentage credited
to 10 bangtails owned by John
Ferris who has just quartered his
stable at the Windsor, Canada,
track.
The nags are now on foreign
soil for the second time this sea-
son. Earlier in the year they
raced at Juarez and Tia Juana,
Mexico. Ferris started his sprint
ers at New Orleans last winter,
then shipped them 1850 miles
to Juarez.
From the latter city to Tia
Juana. which is situated across
the California border from San
Diego, is 563 miles. and another
jump which took the stable to
Reno, New, added 563 more miles
of travel. The jump from Reno
to Windsor Is 1900 miles.
According to Ferris his mounts
made 200 starts at the foul
tracks.

This Fox production is the most
