GARRICK

One Of the most amusing and enter
tanning comedies that has ever been
produced is the Aim production, Skin
ners Dress Suit, taken from Henry
Irving Dodge's story OF the same name
that ran in The Saturday Evening
Post. 1t is wholesome comedy with
Hazel DAILY supporting Mr.. Washburn,
who is starred and has made much of
his role, Everywhere the production
has been shown it has received the
highest praise and it is expected that
it will show to crowded houses while
at the Garrick.
Mr.. Skinner Is down trodden,
starving cashier in big mercantile
house until his wife makes him buy
dress suit and spruce up Then,
through his good clothes. Skinner
meets some rich people and is enabled
thereby to put over a big business deal
for his firm. Thus he gains a raise
in pay and finally partnership in the
business.
There are millions OF SINNERS In
this world. All they need is a dress
suit to rise rapidly to fame and for
tune. For. after all. good clothes
a mans appearance-plays a forceful
part in modern business. Don't you
think so?"

people n NEWS

A newspaper "hoater", which some
newspaper has thought good enough
to reproduce without giving any
credit to it's author except Exchange"
bewails the fact that undue promin-
ence is given to the enlistment of the
sons of rich or prominent men. The
author criticises big newspapers for
this common custom.
Perhaps the discrimination is
wrong, alright, but why blame the
newspapers for its elaborate detail
OF news about prominent people?
The public wants such news, and the
newspaper man knows its value to
his readers. We may regret the fact
that all of us are not considered of
equal Importance, but the fact re-
mains.
The value of news is established
by the interest of readers. The or
binary doings of a prominent person
attracts general public interest, ac-
cording to the degree of prominence.
The ordinary doings of a person with
no prominence attracts little atten-
tion-and there you are! President
Wilson talks with somebody; Colonel
Roosevelt, VIM. J. Bryan, John ID.
Rockefeller, or their children, do
something. The reading public wants
to know all about it. So it is with
the doings of any man, woman or
child who has attained prominence
or fame, and the newspapers endeavor
to supply the demand as completely
as their ability and knowledge per-
mits.
The art of "newspapering' is to
know the value of a news item. AND
how to serve it-whether 1t is worth
a column or three lines to its readers
The big daily has greater capacity
than the weekly. but both must bt
governed by the value of news to
successfully cover their field.

PREPAREDNESS,

The great force OF the word pre-
paredness and its full meaning is
brought home TO the peoples OF all
nations by the fact now evident to
all men who allow their unbiased in
telligence full sway. This undream-
ed OF world war brought on more
because OF Germany's preparedness,
and the appropriateness of other ma
tons than through any other cause.
who can deny that this is not a proven
fact?
Every reasonable Interpretation or
almost every act of Germany IN TINS
war, has been based upon the fact
that she was so well prepared for q
gigantic struggle that she could Sc
cure victory before any other nation
could meet her masterfnl war ma
chine. Her ;dea was correct with re-
gard tc-all the smaller nations near
her. But her understanding OF other
and greater nations was at fault.

Idle Men Must Produce

Congressman Johnson's idea that
all men between Is and so years OF
e should be busy at something use
full Is being worked out in Maryland.
In that state all men not regularly
employed at something, are required
TO register. The state will endeayor
to secure them work. 1t really looks
as IL we are making some progress in
life.
In all big enterprises men are
studying how to attain greater effici-
ency. The railroad puts on a bigger
engine, increases the capacity OF
cars, adds more cars to a train. The
manufacturer ~systematizes and stops
waste and lost time. Why not great
or efficiency in the individual? Some
few perhaps are working at too great
speed, but thousands of men are way
below their capacity.
Every city, town, and countryside
contain men who use only a small
portion of their time and energies,
because all they want is supplied by
little effort. Another class is far be-
low maximum efficiency because
they do not systematic their efforts
by either time OF speed.
This lack of systematic efficiency
among Americans is very noticeable
to people who have been trained in
other countries. The Maryland ef-
fort will be watched with interest by
all students of Mans greatest study.
