STAR I'm A night OFF"
Receipts to Help Establish Chair of
Dramatics.

"a Night on" four-act comedy farce
by Austin DAILY. was presented by the
George Washington University Players
last night at the new Central High School
auditorium. The play showed the funny
situation In which "Justina Rabbit" "
'hen-picked" professor in Camptown
University, found himself when he wrote
play and had it presented without his
wife's knowledge.
Charles Koch took the part of the pro-
fessor. Mr.. Sol s. Gluck, as Marcus
Brutus Snapp, an actor Of the old school,
and Miss Phebe C. Gates as Mrs. Zan-
tippa Babbitt," the professors wife, de-
serve mention, among others, for their
excellent acting. Music was furnished
by the George Washington University
Orchestra An organ recital by James
Dickinson, musical director, preceded the
performance.
The box office receipts OF the play will
go to an athletic fund: toward establish
Ing chair OF playwriting and dramatic
literature in the university, and secur-
ing a small theater where plays may be
more frequently presented.

new wage SCHEDULE
DRAFTED BY Carmen
Demands Will Be Presented to Railway
Officials Within Few Days.

George WILDER, president Of the Car
mems Union. stated last night that the
new wage schedule has been completed
by the committee and will be formally
presented to the company within few
days.
The officials of the union seem confident
that the company will grant the demands
of the men. particularly because the exist
ing scale of wages and the working hours
ere much less than those enjoyed by the
trolley employees in other cities. 1t Is
lower than Baltimore. which is unor-
ganized, and the maximum scale Is Is
cents per hour less than that for which
the street car men of Detroit are now
contending.
Many OF the men noted that the num-
Der of new men being hired by the COM
pany was apparently larger than usual
but union officials declared 1t was doubt
full whether the companies were an
ticipating strike before the demands
were presented and discussed.
The men want a shorter working day,
more time for lunch, additional time for
making out reports. and a reduction from
ten years to four in the time in which
man can earn the maximum salary.
The new wage scale Is said to range
from 2S1a cents to IS cents an hour.
The employees are confident of victory
because they have more than 80 per cent
of the motormen and conductors affiliated
with the union.

Mother Tells How Vinol
Made Him Strong.

New York City.-"My little boy
was in very weak, delicate condition
as a result of gastritis and the measles

his life. The doctor prescribed cod

decided to try Vinol-and with splen-

him SO that now ne is a strong,
healthy boy."-Mrs. Thomas Fitzger-
aid, 1890 Park Ave, New York City.
Vinol contains beef and cod liver
peptones, iron and manganese pep
tonates and glyeerophosphates, which
make it constitutional remedy which
creates an appetite, aids digestion and
makes pure, healthy blood. Chill
