THEATER PARTY GIVES Joy
Not Always to the Participants, but to
Those Who Can Smile at Others
foolishness.

A theater party Is group composed
Of two types of people-those who
have seen the play an absurd number
of times and those who would give
anything not to see 1t.
The performance selected is usually
n musical comedy This ms come to
mean nowadays an entertainment hay-
ing no music and which is not comic.
The chief characteristics of a the
ater party are two suffering chap
erons, one of either sex; a number
OF young ladies who constantly inter
rupt the dialogue Of the play and an
equal number Of young men, some Of
whom read the programs, yawn or
sleep, while Others firt with the cho-
rus. ...-.q, =.-.....
When attending a musical show II
is modish to keep time with the or
chestra by tapping smartly the back
Of the seat In front Of you. Frequent
ly many Of the party have seen the
performance before and know the
music fairly well. 1t is de rigueur In
this case TO join In the choruses Of
the various songs and effectually
drown the voices of the actors.-Life.

Uncxpiored Land in Canada.

Within the borders of Ontario are
three tracts Of 6.O0O to 5000 square
miles each that no white man has ever
explored. 1t Is estimated that east
of Reindeer lake and Kasan river Is
a region Of $1,000 square miles area,
larger than New York, New Jersey.
Connecticut and Massachusetts com.
bined, which Is yet to be explored. AL
together there is an aggregate Of 901,-
600 square miles Of country which
should be represented on the map by
whiteness, and this calculation does
not include unexplored areas of less
than four thousand square miles.

Oil is King.

The European war Is without doubt
doing more to direct general attention
to the claims of oil and its multitu-
dinous products than any amount Of
advertising In normal times could have
accomplished.
The great clash Of arms on the con-
tlnent has from Its commencement
ahown that the necessity for the prod.
ucts of petroleum In up-to-datc warfare
is no less than In either the industrial
circles or in domestic life. We are to-
day Us much dependent upon the re.
fined products of crude oil as we are
upon wheat and other necessities Of
life. and as time goes on, and the uses
which are constantly being found for
petroleum multiply, our dependency
upon oil becomes the greater.
1t Is no surprise, therefore, to find
that not only are petroleum products
generally commanding greater attention
than they ever before did, but that q
particular healthy atmosphere pcrme-
ates those enterprises which have laid
themselves out-and successfully So
to engage In the production. the re-
lining, the transport, or the dlstrlbu
tion Of petroleum products. There Is.
In short, no mistaklng the fact that In
the future, oil will be king.-Petro.

Production of Rubber.

The worlds production of rubber has
doubled In eight years, according to
figures presented by Henry Jumelle In
n bulletin of the Colonial Institute of
Marseille. In 1915 the production was
10000 tons, against 108,50o In 1914
and 115.000 in 1918. And this in spite
of the fact that Germany and Austria
were able to import none at all in
1915. The greatest relative Increase
Is In Malaysia.
