What's Keeping 'En Out.

A Philadelphia editor says that Charles Frohman, before setting of on the Lusitania's last voyage, joked good deal about London's theatera in war time.
 "The London revues," he said one day. "have funny names-'Come Over Here and Stop Your Pooling and Oh, Be Careful A good title for one of these thinly attended revues would be Whats Keeping Elm Out?'
 "The last revue I visited the audi ence hardly numbered hundred. ] said to the manager consolingly:

MESSAGE RECEIVES
 GENERAL APPROVAL
MANY CoNGRESSMEN DECLARE IT WILSON'S GREATEST
 STATE PAPER.

Washington.-App of Presi. dent Wilson's declaration of war on Austria Hungary was voiced by prac. tically every member of Congress who commented upon it. Many of those who approved it regretted only that it did not recommend also declara- tions of war on Turkey and Bulgaria Many pronounced the address the greatest state paper ever prepared by the president and declared it sounded the keynote for the winning of the war
 This message is the greatest the president has ever delivered de sclared Chairman Chamberlain, Demo crat, of the Senate military affairs committee.
 Representative Cannon, former Re, publican speaker, declared it a great message and thought the president might have some diplomatic reason for not including Turkey and Buf- garia.
 Chairman Stone of the Senate for eign relations committee, did not hear 1 the address, being at the War Depart ment on business, but announced his approval
 Senator Smoot, Republican, said he thought the presidents discussion of relations with Germany was "toe idealistic," but added from the rec ommendation of state of war against Austria Hungary to the end it was an American message"
 Tt was the ablest message MT. Will son has ever delivered" said Sena- tor Underwood, Democrat, ''it sound ed the keynote upon which we must win the war"
 Acting Republican Leader Gillett of l the House, and other Republicans said they regretted the president did not include Turkey and Bulgaria.
 q don't share the presidents dis tinction between Austria and Turkey and Bulgaria." said Representative Longworth, Republican. q think we ought to declare war against all three."
 Speaker Clark and Democratic Leader Kitchin said they would not discuss the message until they had had time to read it carefully
 "The recommendation for a declar- ation of war against Ausria," said Democratic Leader Martin of the Sen. ate, "is in sympathy with the wishes of a great majority of Congress.
 Senator La Toilette declined to comment
 Any comment of mine will be giv- en on the floor of the Senate" he said.

Love of Ease.

What is there about Hove of ease" that makes the strenuous one so wroth? Love of ease is universal human trait, and has been so from the beginning of time. It is the incentive even of war. Barbarian tribes and na- tions fight for slaves, and even the civilized city-states of ancient Greece made war in order to reduce their cap tive enemies to bondage and compel them to do all the work, so that the conquerors might enjoy lives of lei sure. Love of ease is the handspring of nearly all human activities. Men labor to obtain comforts and luxuries. If the hope of enjoying the fruits of his work were gone no man would labor except under compulsion of law or of necessity. He who vociferates against love of ease assails all man, kind. including himself. = Philadel- phia Record.

SALESMAN TALKED WRONG
Argument Included Reference to Mis-. haps and the Deal Was
 "Queered."

The motorcar salesmans lack of judgment cost him sale. He was try ing to sell a professional man ma chine, but he handed out the wrong kind of talk and "queered" the deal. His prospective customer had been in two or three serious motorcar acci- dents while out riding with friends and really was just a bit timid about riding in machine, although to please his family he had just about made up his mind to buy one. The motorcar man, with much glibness and effective ness, presented the various virtues of his car. Just look at the axle," he said. When you get in a smashup that axle, unlike many others, will not break, but will bend, and so can be repaired without much expense"
 This unfortunate argument spoiled the sale. It aroused the sense of fear which the professional man had when riding in machine, and he told the salesman that he guessed he would not place his order for a machine at that time

Count on wornan,s Eneroy.

"The decision of national issues af. ter the war will be in the hands of women as well as men," says Principal Gilbert Slater of Ruskin college, OK ford, in his book, War and Peace in Europe" For, while the advance of woman toward political power has in the past been slow In the extreme, it has been irresistible and steadily ac- celerating. The war itself has made all Europe realize that in the supreme struggle between nations, survival de. pends upcn the energies of women be- ing utilized as well as those of men. Henceforward, women will count; and they will count more and more."

BLU!NG FIXED THE SCENERY
Water In Lagoon Was chanvea From Yeilowish Hue. to
 Green.

Thref barrels of bluing solved diff ficu {. Artistic problem in correction with the staging of Newark s historical pageant, which was given in the ann phitheater in Weequahic park for four nights, the New York Times states.
 After about 450,000 gallons of water had been run, into the lagoon in front of the natural stage it was found that the clay and sand had caused the wa ter to turn yellow. Thomas Wood Ste' vens the director, observed that the water must have green color or the artistic effect of the stage settings would be spoiled
 The lagoon, 300 feet long, 1G5 feet wide and two feet deep, is one of the main features of the open air stage. It was MT. Stevens idea that the lagoon should produce certain effect in con- nection with it's natural surroundings. He had taken it for granted the water would be green.
 When Director Stevens and his as- sistant, Sam Hume, were going over final details of the amphitheater they were confronted with the yellow water in the lagoon. They were in a quan- dary as to how to overcome this diffi- culty, when H. Wellington Wack, ex- ecutive adviser of the Newark cele- bration committee, came along. The pageant masters explained the dilem- ma to MT. Wack, who suggested the bluing. It worked

Jane Houston is a charming
brunette with the gracious man
ner and soft speech of the South.
Her family is an old one, so old
that it goes back to the line of
the Henrys, kings of England. For,

large and varied assortment of
wives. But the branch from which
to begin climbing is not Houston,
but Galloway. Miss Houston
was, and still is Minnie Isle Cal
laway.
When her father left Missis-
sippi, transferring his family to
q thirty-thousand-acre ranch in
Texas, Minnie had no thought of
anything more serious than riding
bronchos and branding cattle.
But the family sojourns in Hous-
ton for shopping and theatre 60
ing turned her thoughts to higher
things, or SO she thought. She
determined that her sphere was
not the thirty-thousand-acre ranch
but the few hundred square feet
of the stage. Her family differing
from her in the matter, she rode
off the ranch one day, not to re-
turn. At least not until she should
be established on the stage.
That came sooner than her
doubling family expected. She
became q member of Margaret
Anglin's company. Presently she
joined John Drew's organization.
This season she is leading woman
for William Faversham in "The
Old Country" But if she were
asked which was the pleasantest
engagement she would instantly
answer: "The first, and as surely
as she made that answer she would
blush.
