picketing. however. as such tactics are,
in his opinion, harmful to the cause.

WAR SPIRIT IN SOUVENIRS.
Reproduction of Shells and Other
Novel Designs Now in Stores.

The war spirit has invaded the
souvenir stores of the city. The re-
production of shells to be used in fight
ing the Germans have taken the place
of many of the souvenirs. and they
and other novel designs now occupy
conspicuous places in the window dis
plays of these stores.
The most novel and striking of these
new designs is the one and one-half
inch shell. which stands about eight
inches high and is military monu-
ment to set on the desk. The shell is
the exact reproduction of those which
will be used on the submarine chasers
along the coast to defend the shores of
this country against hostile enemies
Many other patriotic designs with
military bearing. such as canoes with
the head of Pershing or the insignia of
the various branches of military serv-
ice. are to be seen in every souvenir
store.

Jitney Driver Scores New Rule.

To the Editor of The Star:
I wish to ask why the jitneys are
ruled off certain streets? Is it because
they are dangerous to the public or in
any way hinder the general traffic more
than other automobiles? or is it because
they are particularly grievous to the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany?
The change practically puts the jit-
neys out of business. for il GUS them off
the streets where they have any chances
of getting passengers. On the II street
line they are to stop at 18th street
while more than tWo-tfirds of their pas
sengers are picked up at l4th street and
New York avenue, and the Brookland
line must stop at 1th street while
nearly all their passengers are picked up
between 1th and 18th streets. In fact.
none of the jitneys are allowed in the
streets where they can do any business.

The Fault Hunter.

The most unfortunate of men is
he who hunts for something
wrong, who strains his ear. again,
again, to hear the false note in a
song. 'Tis he who marks with
gloomy eye the bridal couple as
they pass, and says, Their JOY
will soon pass by, and they'll
grow old; all flesh is grass" 'Tis
he who stops the flow of mirth by
preaching trouble and despair,
who says that everything on earth
is. but a pitfall and snare. He
sees the ring around the moon
when other men the moon behold,
and says a storm will come full
soon, with hail and sleet and bit
ter cold. He sees the sundogs
standing guard, when other men
behold the sun, and saws we'll all
be frozen hard before the current
week is done. Oh, gloom and trout
BILE are his pets with them he eats
and drinks and sleeps; he's only
happy when he frets, he's only
joyous when he weeps. 1t would
be no concern of mine if he would
nurse his crouch alone: but pub
licly he weeps his brine and
heaves his deep, heart-rending
groan. And in these crucial times
we need no added weight to loads
OF care, no sighs that make our
bosoms bleed, no threats or omens
of despair. WALT MASON.

in the fact that the manager, book

81 was too busy and couldn't get
to it., he says to the actor. 81 tell
you what to do. You come to the
Frier theater in town and I'll surely
come and see it, -
The actor with no other means to
get his act inspected comes into New
York or Chicago to another "Frier."
This ''FTier," however, is first-class
theater which under the manip-
ulation Of the vaudeville trust is run
down, lost it's high grade patronage
and become a 'three-a-day house"
where the artists play once in the
afternoon and twice at night. This
''F'rier" does a tremendous business,
but the actor gets no share of it be-
cause he still is working for his FRY
OUT salary. Again the manager
booking agent is unable to look the
act over" So another "Frier' must
be played. The number of FRY OUTS
depends on the number of theaters
which do big business where the
actor can be forced to play his act
for little, nothing or at loss. In
desperation the actor by this time
leaves the first manager-booking
agent for another manger-booking
agent who has yet another circuit
where the 'Friers" are more nu-
merous, the business in them as large
or larger than in the first group and
where the salary is less. By this
time the artist is about ready for
the Iunatic asylum or the river. He
will take almost anything to get a
chance to show his act in a. first
