Lucy Fields With "GyPsy Love" Com
pany Tomorrow Evening.

Lucy Fields, the brilliant and beau
tiful young London opera star, who
will be seen here as lima in An
dreas Dippel's own production of

n goddess in the esteem of several
trenehfuls Of Tommy Atkins who are

reason Is that as regularly as each
week rolls around they receive a re

1000 finest Turkish cigarettes.
Miss Fields has been sending her

and she declares they will continue
until the war ends.

Kingsway theatre. London, when she
and several other great fayorites of
the London stage conceived the hap
py idea of making the jaunt TO the
fighting base for the purpose of giving
big entertainment for their brave
countrymen.
The plan worked ont beautifully.
Miss Fields said The government fell
in with their plan and aided It in
every possible way Officers and ,nen

WIRELESS AeRlALs COME DOWN
New York Police Destroy 800 Plants
in Day.

New York, April l0.-The hundreds
of wireless telegraph aerials which
have been creeping into the skyline OF
the city above the roofs of stores and
tenements in ever increasing numbers
for the past few years began to fade
from view yesterday morning with.
in an hour after squads OF patrolmen
had started from precinct station
houses under orders from the War De
partment at Washington to make use
less every wireless station in the city,
except, OF course. those operated by
the Government, the military authori-
ties and the police. Last night Chief
Inspector Max >Schmittberger said
that p2rolfnen working swiftly in the
ave boy oughs had disnantlcd during
the day 800 amateur and professional
wireless outfits.
II is believed that this number ac-
counts for virtually all of the wireless
stations in New York except those au-
thorized to operate in time of war.
The police, however, viii renew their
work of searching for aerials today,
and will continue to dlsmantle all the
outfits they can discover until, so far
as wireless communication is concern
ed, New York is completely cut off
from the rest OF the world except for
such messages as are sent through

This Simple Laxotiue
A Househould Necessity
Or. CaIdweI's syrup Pepsin Should
Have a Place in Every
Home

Constipation, or inaetion of the
bowels, condition that nearly every
one experiences with more or less
frequently, is the direct cause OF
much disease. When the bowels be-
Gene clogged with refuse from the
stomach, foul gases and poisons are
generated, and unless the congestion
is quickly relieved the system be-
comes weakened and most susceptible
to attack
Various remedies to relieve consti-
patton are prescribed, but many OF
these contain cathartic or purgative
agents that are harsh and violent in
their action and shock the system.
The most effective remedy is the com
bination of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that is sold in drug stores IN.

that it should be in every household

FITZPATRICK TELLSTWH THE
ACTORS REALLY HAVE TO
DO WITH STAGE WORLD
BY James William Fitzpatrick, Inter
national President White Rat
Actors Union.
Vaudeville is the only branch of
the theatrical business which the
actor by right should own and con-
troll because he creates it and keeps.
it going. In the so-caIled legitimate
stage the managers buy the plays OF
musical pieces, produce them, that is,
buy costumes and scenery. They in
vest, their money and time. The
vaudeville manager, however, in
vests in nothing but the four walls
of the theater. More frequently than
not someone else builds that and he
merely rents it. The salaries of the
musicians and the stage hands are
paid out of the money the actor
brings into the building. He is the
one element without which it is i'm
possible to draw an audience. Peo-
pie do not go to vaudeville theaters
to see the stage set or hear the or
chestra play or admire the manager.
They go to see the show and if the
actor fails to please them they will
not come back,
If the show is hit and business is
good the manager takes all the credit
to himself for booking it. If it fails
the acts are rotten. The actor is
the one who contributes most to the
vaudeville theater He is also the
one who gets least in return from it.

picture operators demand and get

TINS afternoon by ATTORNEY Harrie r
Chase for Bemis and Attorney Frank
+. Barber for Phelps
The plaintiff rested YESTERDAY after

fore the noon recess TODAY.
yesterday afternoon Bemis testified
that in the fall of 1915 he let Phelps
take the steers to work for their board
until he should come after them, also
that he told Phelps he could have the
steers for Sl25 cash. The next spring he
went to Phelps 5 place and Phelps asked
if he had come for the steers. Phe1ps
said he would like to keep them longer
and work them through the spring. Oth-
.er witnesses told Of seeing the steers
worked and to being told bv Phelps
that he took them with the privilege Of
buving, and that they were worked rs
late as the fail of 1916. When Bemis
wanted the steers Phelps would not
let him have them unless he paid $3l p
for keeping which was declined
This morning Phelps and others
testified, Phelps stating that he took
the cattle with the understanding that
he should work them through sugaring

lrangement was not to continue longer
than that.
