vaudeville act, not is it because We
have a personal friend with the act
but it's because we deem the above
act one that is really deserving OF
more than the ordinary review that we
give Globe Vaudeville Acts under our
Kansas City Theatres" head. This
act is really different from anything
that we have aver seer at this theatre
and such a distinct novelty that we
feel called upon to go a little farther
and give it a boost. Constructed upon
original lines the draping of living
models is something hat few vaude-
vile people have dared to attempt for
the reason that not many of them
are possessed of the true artistic in
stinct which teaches just how far TO
so in the depicting OF an art which
could easily be overdone and made
vulgar. But the Mode act" is one
that accomplishes that purpose and we
believe is an act that will live for
sometime. 1t is artistic and deserving
in every respect and more particularly
the work of Irish Jimmy O'Burreell is
simply great. Hhis portrayal of the
part of a male modiste being such that
there is no room for criticism. A solo
by the young lady during the draping
is very fetching for which she is heart
lily encored. All in all, the act is one
that we take great pleasure in recon-
mending as something worthy and de-
serving.

a chauffeur. They started to do their
own driving. They found the task a
simple one.
We have sold scores of Maxwell
cars, during the past two seasons, TO
experienced motorists, but a bigger
proportion went to people who had
never sat at the wheel of a motor car.
Of course, we always see to it that
a buyer is given a course of driving
lessons ample to equip him to go any
where in his car. The first lesson is
usually approached by the buyer with
a good deal of trepidation. He gains
confidence in the first fifteen minutes,
and before the first lesson is over he
usually develops into a speed bug who
ave at traffic delays and needs to be
restrained rather than encouraged.
The second lesson-if one is neces-
~sary-usually curbs the desire to the
wild flight, and the result is a finished
driver who resents further presence
of the teacher. Occasionally we find a
cautious driver who needs more than
two lessons; we always give them as
many as they want.
Once squared away, expert driving
is only a matter of practice. The
novice of one season is always the cx-
pert Of the neXt-the proud possessor

DRIVE AN AUTO?
BY +. &. Fryer

"Ot course, you drive a car"
How often one hears this accom-
phshment taken for granted.
And it is indeed the exception when
the reply is in the negative.
Even people who do not own their
own cars and are merely looking for
ward to the time when they can BE-
come motorists in their own right,
drive and drive well, Nor is this gen
eral driving ability one of solely mas
culine achievement; proportionately,
the number of women drivers is in
croasing faster than men.
There was a time in motoring his
tory when the ability to drive was es-
tcemed an intricate thing-an accom-
plishment attainable only after long
practice and requiring almost the me-
Chanical knowledge of an engineer. In
those days the chauffeur-driven car
was the standard and owners who did
their own plotting We're admired as
marvels of daring. This era has long
since passed. 1t passed with the ad-
vent of the light car, popularly-priced
and adapted to the income of any fam
lily of average means.
Buyers of this type could not afford

The Alumnus magazine of the S. ID.
S. c., for the quarter ending February
LIST has made its appearance. The
little magazine is starting out on its
with interesting notes of many who
have graduated from the college and
passed out to their various fields Of
endeaVor. One interesting thing is the
fact that such a large number of the
men and women are occupying high
and responsible positions in all sec
tons of the country, even in foreign
countries. Many of the class of Is
are already settled down to their
work many of which are, doubtless,
permanently located. Speaking of the
interesting things to the graduates the
Alumnus says: "One thing that may
prove of interest to the graduates of
the S. d. S. c. is that their alma mater
is constantly receiving greater reco9-
milton from other institutions of learn
ing. This year our debating teams will
meet, among others, a team represent
ing University of Wisconsin. Next
fall our football schedule includes
games with the University of Wiscon-
sin and the University of Minnesota.
Other large institutions have express
ed a willingness to meet us in some
line of college activities. These things
more than any other give evidence of
our present standing in the educa-
tional world. The new dormitory for
the young women was we'll started be-
fore the weather became too severe
for further work. The present dormi-
tory is known as Wenona Hall. We

names which are appropriate for these
buildings and the purposes for which
they are to be used. AS has been
stated II 'se buildings will be joined
by a sun-parlor which may be used
as a recreation hall. The basement
of the new building will have a dining
room accommodating about five hun
dred people. Additional dining room
facilities have been badly needed"

SIS MINIMUM WAGE
IN FORD FACTORY
Four Hundred Employees Enjoy Bene-
fit of New Scale Put Into Effect
This MOnth-WOmen to Get Same
Wage as Men

DETROIT, Oct. 25.-Henry Ford's
new five-dolar minimum wage scale
which went into effect this month af-
fects 400 employees in the Ford Motor
factory here, and several hundred 9TH
er employees in branch factories and
stores. Mr.. Ford announced that SIS
per day would be the minimum after a
conference with President Wilson.
Ford officials declared today that
the new scale affects all women en-
ployees in the factory who are over
81 years of age. Women under 81
having dependents will also share, eff
fective October 10.
The officers of the company en-
phasized the fact that the decision to
pay women on basis of equality with
men for their labor was not a philan-
thropic project. They expressed the
conviction that the principle will be
from an economic stand
point, and declared that the last an
nual statement of the company is alb
solute proof that the five-dollar min
imum scale is a financial success.

he had been coached by Harry Nor

who have been taking ballots for the

the policy adopted by the conductors.
