Alabastine is the most
effective, economical and
simple wall decoration on the
market. 1t has demonstrated
its superiority in thirty-fve
years use.
Think of it! No boiling water, no
glue added. It's one of the easiest
jobs in the world to prepare and
apply Alabastine, and the resulting
surface, if ordinary care is taken, is
solid, Streakless and mat-like.

Madison.-The question of trans
portation, one of the greatest prob
lens the commission which is conserv-
ing game ia Wisconsin has to deal
with, has been solved by the purchase
OF twenty-five motorcycles.
The flying squadron of wardens who
use these machine have begun their
work and the result will be not only
greater efficiency but greater reduc-
ton in expense.
The new conservation commission
has made an enviable record in the
nrst nine months of its existence The
statement given out by Secretary X.
S. Scheibel on April 20 shows a saw
ing of $37,395.5S for the period be-
tween July /. 1915, and March 81. 1916.
The service in the meantime has been
even better than ii was before the va

We're correlateS under the new law.
With the advent OF the motorcycle
squad. the efficiency of the depart
ment will be increased still more and
a larger percentage of saving will be
shown when the annual report is is
sued.
The motorcycles will make a ma
terial reduction in the transportation
expenses of the department" said
Commissioner w. E. Barber. 1T has
been the custom for the wardens to
travel by railroad, which took them
only to railroad towns and there, in
most cases, they were obliged to hire
livery TO go to the rural districts. The
reduction of this expense, however,
was not the whoi- object which in
spired the introduction of the motor
cycle. The department realized that
FOR warden to obtain the best re-
suits, he must become acquainted

THE standing of the old game war

mert is playing havoc with old party
lines. This was exemplifed most
srikingly the other day when the
storthing voted on the proposition to
establish a chair of pure Norwegian
for the theological students at The uni
versity. The Socialists have bee. in
the habit of indorsing the language re-
form. But on this occasion they voted
sclidly against the necessary AIRPORT

airy ideas. In other words, the Social

students Heavy Eaters.
How much food 1000 college stu
dents eat in the course of a year is
roughly indicated by figures from the
University of Wisconsin kitchen which
supplies the dining rooms at Barnard
and Chadbourne halls and a student
cafeteria. 1t feeds in all 1000 people
every day. Cream pie is the most pops
ular dessert, cream of pea soup the
favorite soup, and corn the chosen
vegetable.
Eighty-five loaves of white bread
and thirty loaves of graham bread are
baked every day. Besides these, 100
loaves of a special kind are bought to
use in making toast. 1t takes fifteen
bushels of spinach to feed the 1000
whenever that green is served. Eight
bushels of potatoes are used each day
or two carloads a year.
The milk, of which $50 quarts are
used daily, is obtained from an out
lying farm which is scientifically man
aged and keeps only registered Guern-
sey cattle. The latest test for bac-
terra in the milk showed the count
to be very low. Fifteen gallons of
cream are purchased daily from a To-
cal dairy.
Whenever bananas are served. four
full punches are needed. This in
cludes those which go into banana
cream pie and the banana salad. Six
dozen heads of lettuce go in the salad
for one meal Three cases of or
anges are used every time oranges are
served. One hundred pounds of but
ter is sufficient to feed the large and
hungry family each day.
Two carloads of -four is used for
baking purposes, and other perishable
goods are bought in small quantities
from local dealers.

the necessary funds. The small viii

FRANCES STARR
AT THE APOLLO.
Belasco Star Appears in a New Play.

When Frances Starr, who is to be
seen at the Apollo Theatre this Friday
and Saturday evenings and Saturday
matinee, in the latest Belasco produc-
ton, Little Lady in Blue" a comedy
by Horace Hodges and 7. Wigney
Percyval, was first put forward by
David Belasco as a star in "The Rose
of the Rancho" it was suggested to
him that she might soon become a
great matinee favorite if left to play a
distinct line of ingenue parts requir-
ing girlish innocence and simplicity
as their chief asset. But the famous
producer had his own opinion in the
matter and considered that it would be
nothing short of an insult to Miss
Starts genius to ruin her career
through the portrayal of a string of
maudlin, mushy roles as go into the
making of matinee popularity.
Mr.. Belasco thought she was des-
tined for bigger things, and accord
ingly produced Eugene Walters play,
"The Easiest Way" Immediately ev-
eryone protested. "She will lose all
her friends" they said. But Mr.. Be-
lasco, better than the public, knew
what he was about. To him it was
only the beginning of a period of
training which had for its ultimate
object the development of those tai
ents which have been allowed such a
wide range of expression in the Jekyll
and Hyde character of Becky in "The
Case of Becky" and the mischief
making Gabrielle Jannelet in "The
Secret" and which in her visualiza-
ton of the title role in "Marie Odile"
realized Belasco's highest ambition
for Miss Starr.
"Now 1 feel that so much of a fol-
lowing as Frances Starr has acquired
has been attracted by the actress and
not by the woman. That is a great
satisfaction. And, in my new comedy,
Little Lady in Blue I feel that Mr..
Belasco has given me just what the
public want most-good, clean comedy
of the highest and finest order"
