FROM Choir BOY TO
star in BURLESOUE
Frank Rogers, Leading Man Of Lyceum
Stock Company, Got Initial Train
ing at Church.

From choir boy to burlesque star may
seem a far cry, but 1t is his ability as
choir singer that got for Frank Rogers,
stage director and leading man Of the
Lyceum Stock Company, his start in the
show business
Rogers is a native Of California and
has played in moving pictures on the
coast. He has been in musical comedy
and the legitimate" drama, and he also
played in the large vaudeville houses, as
we'll as season with the circus. But
like so many actors, he has found bur-
lesque an interesting and profitable field
and for some years has been playing In
that line. At the present time he is
planning to go on one of the big burlesque
wheels next seasons, having recently
signed a contract
Rogers has been working hard since his
appointment to the stage MANAGEMENT of
the Lyceum Company to produce plays
that would be different from the ordinary
ourlesque. He believes in good, clean
comedy, and 1t has been his constant
effort since taking charge of the Lyceun
players TO present only clean shows.

hen nded women will consider seri-
ously this matter of preparing for
their life's work.
The duties of the home should be
systematized just as the work in an
office, and women should realize
that cheap, poorly performed labor
is the dearest and hardest in the
run of futile years.
OF course !, who have lived among
professional beavers all my life,
don't hold that every woman's only
place is in the home-that is i'm
possible for the woman with a ca
reer or fired by the divine accident
OF genius. But many of these same
professional women find time for
homemaking and the raising OF
beautiful families.
1t is so difficult to follow a de.
manding public career and raise
your family that we are firm in
believing women should be freed
from performing arduous tasks
while they are performing that di-
vine service to their race. But
there should be no obstacles in the
way OF the woman who studies for
her future, planning the career she
is best fitted for. II she is destined
business woman and not a house
keeper, as long as she is not a drag
to her husband, but a helpmate
working for their common interests,
her career should be respected.
And no happiness is so potent as
that happiness for which we pay
the greatest price, lsurels we have
earned and deserve.

CEVERAL OF my letters lately
y have conhded the tenderest OF
secrets to me. They were let
ters which breathed. the perfume OF
a dainty troussesu and the secret
wss-the happy announcement OF a
forthcoming wedding. ! closed my
eyes to see the little brides, flmy
white in lace and satin, smile at me
as l read between the jaunty lines
the heart throbs OF joy and promise.
Now that I have met Jack" one
girls letter begins, 81 am trying so
hard to learn to cook and keep a
neat, attractive little home, But
how I do wish I had not been so
broom and dustpan lazy in the
past!, ! would be more worthy OF
him, for l am sure he is the best
and the noblest man a girl was ever
lucky in winning-and, l assure you,
Miss Pickford, he deserves the right
kind of a wife"
know that one entering upon
marriage in such an honest, sspir-
ing frame OF mind as this little cor
respondent will develop into the
type OF housewife who is becoming
traditional with US. But so many
girls marry without any such real
ization of the responsibilities Of mar
ried life.
"If you really, truly love your
husband and he loves you" l often
hear them say, Everything else will
be all right
OF course that is true to a great
extent, but it isn't wise to put too
much OF a strain upon love.
have often heard It said by
women who are sages wise that the
wife who is a careless, disinterested
cook is quite a LIT to blame if her
husband turns from his home to the
bar around the corner. Lacking
proper nourishment, he seeks slim
ulants instead, and many homes
have been ruined because the wife
was not we'll posted as to her du-
ties.
Another thing which drives men
away from home rs an untidy house
or slatternly wife. The husband
who has married a girl because she
is dainty and sweet tempered feels
he has been wantonly cheated when
she stores away that daintiness in a
camphor chest, takes to spotty XII
monos and becomes termagant.
A successful marriage is a mat
ter of give and take, the wife's low
ing sacrifices to the husband, the
husbands devoted sacrifices to the
wife. One must not thrive at the
expense Of others, and the girl who
marries, determined to have her own
way in everything, is preparing
great unhappiness for her future.
1t has only been lately that we
realized that woman's work in the
home, when properly performed, is
an economic factor Of as great val
ue as the husbands work as wage
Garner. Soon this knowledge will
spread universally, and when it does
come to be more generally compre-

KEEPING CUT FLOWERS FRESH
Must Be Properly Taken Care Of, and
Here Are Some Suggestions
of Moment.

The only drawback to cut flowers is
that they wither so quickly, and in
keeping them fresh some seem to have
more luck than others.
For instance. in the matter Of VIC
let's 1t is possible to wear them sew
eral times without noticing the over
powering stale odor which proclams
them beyond redemption
OF course many people find that they
cannot wear cut flowers even for one
afternoon because in some cases the
body heat seems to wilt them. but II
this can be avoided il Is quite pos
sible to find bunch almost as fresh
the second day as on the first II they
were properly guarded overnight.
Keep the box that they came in and
when you take them off hold the stems
under running water for few min
nutes. taking care not to wet the VIC
lets themselves
Then wrap them up In the oiled pa
| per and put them back in the covered
box outside the window II II is cool;
II not in the refrigerator. but In either
case keep them wrapped.
This treatment seems to restore the
flowers and hold in the delicious odor
which so soon becomes rank II they
are kept unwrapped in close room.
Some people think pinch OF salt In
the water will keep cut flowers fresh
longer and so It does in some cases
In others 1t seems to change the col.
ors little. With roses It is success
full. but not 80 much so with violets
A piece OF gum camphor is said to be
an excellent preservative in the water
and others advocate small lump OF
charcoal. but in any case the water
should be changed daily and the flow
ers put in a cool place overnight.

Odd Mail Service.

A novel mail service is to be put in
to operation on the Magdalena river
in the Republic Of Colombia, seasleds
having been planned to ply between
Bogota and the coast. By the water
route the distance between the two
points is more than 800 miles. 1t is
expected that it will be covered at an
average speed Of nearly forty miles
an hour. Tests were recently made
on the Hudson river, near New York,
with an oddly designed craft which
has been built especially for this serv'
ice. 1t is a broad-beamed glider,
equipped with high-power motor, and
driven by two aerial propellers mount
ed at the stern. 1t is capable of carry
ing number Of passengers, and when
loaded draws only five inches of wa
/ ter. While travelling at its maximum
speed, however the sled requires only
one inch CT water, for it skins along
barely cutting the surface. It's slight
draft is made necessary by the shall
| lowness Of the river on which 1t is to
operate.

Wire in Great Demand.

Particularly for the transmission OF
high potential currents the steel.
aluminium wire has been found most
desirable aften ten years experience,
during which time, it is stated, two
companies alone are making use OF
100000 pounds of conductor of this
character. The aluminium has great
efficiency, together with lightnessp
while the steel imparts strength, so
that it is possible to maintain reason
ably long spans, which is not so with
the conductor made alone Of alumni
mum. The simplest form Of the steel
aluminium cable is that to which six
aluminium strands are laid around 9
central steel wire, all of the seven
strands being of the same size. Larger
areas usually have the single steel
wire replaced by seven-wire steel ca
BILE of the same area, the ratio CT stee
to aluminium being the same in bott
cases.

FRIENDSHIP THAT RINGS TRUE
Always Condition That Requires
Thorough Understanding and
Complete Sympathy.

Some aCquaintanCes will never ripen
into true friendship because the COM
mon bond Of union, the thorough I'M
derstanding and the complete SYM
pathy are lacking.
An acquaintance begun in child
hood will ripen into friendship If the
children develop mutual interest in
common cause Of study or pleasure. If
dissimilar tastes and unlike impulses
develop the children will grow apart,
since each Of US tends toward certain
centers Of association.
Money cannot buy US friends. It
often purchases apparent friendship.
but when the wealth goes that which
posed as friendship vaniShes also.
Friendship must be distinguished
from that sentimental feeling which is
80 common among young girls. This
ridiculous fascination, which ex-
presses itself in eXtravagant terms Of
endearment, is very tickle.
AS soon as it finds faults in one idol
it transfers its affection to another.
Youth has yet to learn that perfection
in human nature does not exist. The
sensible man or woman does not set
up an ideal Of friendship so high that
it must be shattered.
Friends influence us for good or
evil. Unfortunately we can guide the
formation of our friendships only to a
very limited extent, either for our
selves or for our children.
Friendship springs up and grows
naturally; it cannot be planted at will.
Foolish friendships are often formed
in youth. 1t is useless to talk against
them, since young people always re.
sent criticism Of their friends. We
must simply tolerate them and trust
to the awakening Of common sense to
prove all frivolous friendships false

getty Healthier Than Farm"

1.-THE sanitary conditions in the
farmers homes Of Massachusetts and
New York state are not what they
should be-" DR.. Harvey W. Wiley de-
clared in an address before several
hundred farmers from all over the
state in Horticultural hall, assembled
for the Massachusetts state board of
agriculturals annual meeting.
"In New York and Massachusetts,
particularly, the city is a healthier
place to live than the country" Doctor
Wiley said. "The cities of New York
and Massachusetts are taking better
care of their citizens than the coun-
try is, and l am inclined to believe
that the unfavorable situation in the
rural sections is due more to lack OF
sanitary conveniences and appliances
than it is to the effect Of the climate
or of O deficient diet"
