ion of the association, and several
other cities have built or are CON-
templating the construction OF boat
which will be named after the city
from which it is entered.
The value of local advertisement
in the idea is said to be considerable.
and it Is expected that cities all along
the valley will get into the game and
enter their own boats. The project
was proposed last fall, and has been
considered since that time.
DR.. F. C. Smith of this city, is ad-
miral of the association. He recent
ly attended a meeting OF the clubs
in Chicago when the racing rules
were revised. Instead Of putting the
boats into different classes. they
will be entered by the number OF
cubic inches. The classes this year
will be ISL. 224, 320, 47S and 69o
cubic inches.
The boat which is suggested for
Miss Keokuk would be in the 224
inch class. Miss Quincy will be in
the same class. The prizes In this
class are s125, $50 and $780,. 1t Is un'
derstood that hull could be pur-
chased for small amount for boat
of this caliber.

HISTORY OF VAUDEVILLE IS
ROMANCE OF STAGE EVOLUTION

Vaudeville was born in France III
the fourteenth century. The WORD
vaudeville translated refers to light
humorous songs. Vau de vile means
songs of the town." and theatres
where such frivolous verses were
sung became known as vau de vile
theatres. Later they were presented
as comedy operettas Of short dura-
ton, and other attractions were re-
auired in order to lengthen out the
performance. Therefore through its
variety it appealed to the masses 20
whom tragedies and plays were no.
interesting. AS variety shows they
sprung into popularity throughout
Europe, and as the patronage consist
ed of the Bohemian class, no attempt
was made to keep the performances
within the bounds OF morality. Con-
sequently after its Introduction on
this side, theaters where variety
shows" were to be seen, were 1nvar
iably in the slums and were con
Quoted as an adjunct to liquor traffic
and were operated on a free and
easy system. 1t was through those

gers as follows:
THE gas made by automobile en-
gines in inclosed garages is known
as carbon monoxide. It Is colorless,
odorless, and tasteless gas. 1t Is ex'
'tremely poisonous because 1t conf
bines with the red coloring matter
OF the blood more readily than oxygen
does and blood that is saturated with
it cannot take up oxygen. The dan
gerous symptom of this carbon mon
oxide poisoning generally proves
fatal, unless outside aid arrives very
soon. because the running engine
continues to generate carbon mon
oxide and continues to make the air
more poisonous"
Common safety should prompt the
automobile owner to provide plenty
OF ventilation in his garage, even dur
ing the cold weather. Common cour
tesy should be practiced by driveri
in public places where the excessive
exhaust Of the engine is apt to bring
discomfort upon persons in the vfcin

Early Vaudeville in Boston.


BENJAMIN Franklin Keith. founder
of the B. F. Keith circuit of vaude-
Vile theatres, was the first American
Snowman to realize the fact that va
riety shows could become the most
popular form of entertainment. IN
the early nineties Mr.. Keith intro
duced vaudeville apart from brotheis,
or dives, in Boston. the city that
claims itself the birthplace Of con
tinuous vaudeville Shows were CIV
en- without intermission from noon
until before midnight. Each act a2'
peared three times. The theatre
license law in Boston was based on
the number of performances given,
fee being exacted for each. Mr.. Keith
is credited with evading the ordin-
ance which taxed the Snowman for
each afternoon, and again for the
evening show, by operating continu-
ously. Keith branched out through
his association with F. F. Proctor,
and the theatres controlled by them
soon became patronized by the bet
ter classes That the theory of Keith
to appeal to the family instead OF the
gayer clientele was a sound one, is
evidenced by the fact that the circuit
of houses bearing his name is the
each theatre monument to him.
Other names famous in their day,
Tony Pastor, Roster & Bal, etc, are
forgotten by the public; even the IA
nous Hammersteins missed the tar

failed to survive in the field because
they aimed low for public approval,
while Keith, Kohl e Castle and Mar
tinbeck. head Of the Orpheum circuit
of vaudeville theatres, gained public
confidence by offering programs that
were wholesome. moral. and highly
entertaining, and still were not of a
prudish nature; the latter named
