der existing laws; absence of compul- sorry strike settlement laws; increased taxation and the general effect of these conditions on the investing public.
 '1t seems inconceiVable that ma tion as dependent as ours upon rail- road transportation should permit a strike to occur" MT. Lovett continu- ed "It seems to me that one of the plainest duties of the national govern ment, not merely to the railroads, but to the whole people. is to provide means for settling disputes between the railroads and the trainmen likely to lead to sucl; strikes. Men cannot be compelled to work against their will and no one suggests it. but men can be forbidden to enter into and carry out a conspiracy to interfere with and suspend commerce."
 The hearing adjourned before MT. Lovett had completed his testi- mOny.

IMMEDIATE NATIoNALizATIoN

Urged by Robert S. Lovet. Before
 Congressional Committee.

Washington, March 19.-Immediate standardization of railroad control was urged today by Robert S. ~Lovett, Pacific in testyfying before the con- gressional committee Investigating all phases of the railway problem.
 About 1000, ,000, 900 new capital will be required annually during the next ten years to develop railways properly, Mir Lovett said. and he believed that when the present "abnormaP' prosper ity passes. it will be difficult to obtain the money.
 Everything we use has gone up,' MT. Lovett said. Hence I am afraid our gross earnings will dwindle.
 Great factors constituting the prob lem of railway operation, he said, were multiplicity of regulation in re- spect to securities; regulation of rates as are unduly to reduce revenue; in- ability of the Interstate Commerce commission to perform its duties un-

THE PRIVATE.

 They called his title. prlvate-- He reached no higher grade. But waited for his orders, And died when he oDeyed. No pen may write his story, No chise1 carve hig- fame, No monument rise OCT him, No multitude acclaim. For he was but a private. And served another's fame, And, dying, gave his nation never-dying name. He gave to orders progress The life twas his to give And in htg country'B annals, Though name4esss he shall live. He fought and felf a pr4vato- Without promotion he To carry freedoms banner Beyond the utmost sea; That peace might have her reign, And justice work with honor For mans eternal gain. He served as but a pr4vate, And never held the zVvord; Renown did not come nigh him, His hand holds no reward. He wrought to give the lawless The hope of righteous laws; Nor vengeance marred his va1or, Nor malice cursed his cause. They called his title pEtvHte- And where he fell, advancing Now other privates tread. Nor eulogy nor marble
 Can honor such as they Who answer duty's summons And die when they obey.

The big fea- ture is a seven reeler and is William Fox's de luxe production of "The Darling of Paris" with the most bril- liant of screen artists. Theda Bara. The photoplay is suggested by Victor Hugo's tragic romance, 1.-The Hunch- back of Notre DameP In it Miss Bara is seen impersonating the beautiful gypsy girl, EsmaraIda, the most de- lightful character in French literature. She has never essayed a part nearly so attractive as in this supreme pho to play. This picture in itself is well worth making extra effort to be pres ent one of these two days.
 Wednesday and Thursday will also see the sixth episode of "Patria." with Mrs. Vernon Castle. In this episode Mrs. Castle is seen to take a double role in order to escape her enemies. This part is a three reeler and is full of thrilling incidents.

Odd Advice to Parents.

Surely it is good plan, now and
again, to pose to children, while they
are still too young to find US out. They
are bored by impassive parents; they
love to see us moved and to be sur
prised by us; it gives them pleasure
to get flash of dramatic feeling out
OF us, like spark out of heavy Ley
den Jar. Let us be their actors and
play to their tiny gallery, setting be-
fore them the image of things as they
are. "Oh. hut We ought always to be
perfectly natural" you say. Indeed,
we ought not. Perfect naturalness is
for brute beasts which have no under.
standing We ought to take the trou-
bic e be performers for the children 2
benefit and the perfectly natural
parents are mostly they who believe
that their children are made for them,
not they Ior their children
