Every word from the Secretary Of
War is made doubly forceful after
reading the reports from England
and after listening to the missions
sent over to help Us to see our duty
toward our allies, 1t was found that
in England the output was hindered
by sickness and accidents caused by
WEAKNESS from long hours and lack
Of good food. It ought to be humili-
ating to the citizens Of this third
greatest industrial state Of the Union
that We are compelled to record that
the WAR industrial standards Of
England are higher than the PEACE
industrial standards Of Illinois. Our
women may work ten hours night or
day and they may work legally sew
enty hours a week without any Sun
day rest.

All real patriots viii accept, I am
sure, the following safety measures
for the protection 81 women in war
time:
No tenement house work.
No setting aside Of child labor
laws.
A mans wage TO the woman who
takes his place and does his work.
An eight-hour day.
No night work for women.
These standards have been proved
by the industrial experience Of Eu-
rope and America to be safeguards
to workers and a good method Of
securing output.
When the President Of the United
States and the Secretary Of War both
announce that industrial standards

REX BEACH MAKES
 OWN PHQTO-PLAYS

The distinction of being the first author to produce his own books in motion pictures belongs to Rex Beach, Americas most famous author, who recently organized the Rex Beach Pictures company for the purpose of making multiple-reel pictures of his novels.
 The first of these productions, The Barrier" will be seen at Fox's the ater tonight and tomorrow.
 Rex Beach is deservedly one of the most popular authors America has presented to the world of romantic literature, for his books are true to the most interesting of all American types.
 The sale of MT. Beach's book runs into the hundreds of thousands, and their popularity. is constantly increas- ing. "The Barrier," the most dra- matic and thrilling of them all, was one of the <"best sellers for a long period, and still heads the list of hc- tion most called for in public libraries. It is peculiarly adapted to the motion picture. Its scene is laid among sur roundings of unusual beauty and grandeur, and the powerful situations

CHANGE TO FIND A
 '' RHYTHMIC AFFINITY"

If you dance we'll with but one girl she is your Rhythmic af1inity"-so says Dr. Sargent.
 pr. Sargent is the gymnasium direc- tor at Harvard and he is credited with having made the above statement but it's a sure thing that he never saw the many dancers who pair up SO wonderfully we'll at any of the Fer dinando Brothers dance orchestra affairs which takes place in Holmes & Hoffman's hall tomorrow evening and still have reason to pass that re- mark. Every partner a fellow has would be his affinity, according to Dr. Sargent, for every one who dances to the music of this orchestra dances we'll.
 The music is so accurate in time and rhythm that it actually makes every dancer keep to the right time. The sweet, steady music of the flute, piano, cello, violin and piccolo with drums and traps is a treat to dance to but when the banjo or saxophone quar- tette once gets a playing the synco- pated one-steps and fox trots then every person either young or old gets the habit and way they go. The waltz has a prominent part on the Ferdinando program and tomorrow evening in Holmes & Hoffman's hall many new waltzes never heard be- fore in this city will be played. Con- cert to g and dancing to midnight.

SIDE TALKS
liaps.
BY RUTH CAMERON

Last fall we went on 8 walking trip:
 Before we started, a friend made us out a rough map of the country. On this map, good roads and bad, beautiful scenery, inns worthwhile and inns to sedulously avoid, were marked. Altogether 1t was a great help, that map.
 As we laid the tattered remains of it away with the other relics of our trip, my road mate remarked: Why Not Maps of Husbands and W1So0s + Maps are great things. We ought to have more of them,-for all sorts of things. Just suppose married folks had charts of each others char

"A PAIR OF QUEENS" r
 STILL GOING BIG

Hundreds of local patriots, after a rather strenuous day of marching, found "A Pair of Queens" the cur-> rent attraction at the LyceurA, a most pleasant form of relaxation. The play Is the newest metropolitan suc- cess ever presented by local stock company. Indeed, many of the larger cities have not yet had an opportunity of enjoying this exceedingly funny farce. It was only through the per sistent efforts of MT. Naylor, that pleasure. If you enjoy hearty and prolonged laughter, or if you believe you are laugh proof, don't fail to sec the Walter Naylor Players in this splendid production.

. acter. when they started out on tho great adventure?" "But who would make out such charts?" I asked, falling in with the whimsey.
 "Oh. don't know. They, if they knew enough about themselves. But they wouldn't. Guess their relatives would have to do it. Sisters or brothers would be best. Mothers wouldn't do.-they'd be too blind to the bad roads and the ugly spots.''
 Everyone laughed at this whimsical idea, and yet, like many a whimsey. 1t has a grain of good hard sense at the heart of it..
 We Should Pick Our Way More
 Carefully.
 Suppose when one married one had handed to one a chart of one's hus- bands peculiarities. wouldn't it help?
 The chart would have directions of this nature:
 "If you want to ask any favor al- ways approach him in the evening di- rectly after dinner.
 ''The thing he is most conceited about is his golf though he does many other things better. You can't please him more than by letting him talk about his golf playing.
 He is not one of the men who yield when a woman cries. Tears make him more stubborn. "Never argue with him on such and such a subject. He is reasonable in other things but always loses his temper over that.' "Etc.. Etc.
 Don't you think such a character chart would help? Of course 8 wise wife gradually finds out these things for herself but If she could learn them this way , wouldn't she save some friction and heartache? Suppose We Charted Our Own Reefs. Charts of our own character for our own use wouldn't be halt bad. either.
 For instance-one of my besetting sins Is wasting time in small ways,- | ought to chart that reef. Getting into a communicative mood, ! saying too much and regretting it the next day is another reef. If one made a map of oneself, ! might 1t not help one to avoid such reefs?

GREEN STOCKINGS"
 BY H.. s. THESPIANS
Dramatic Club to Present Laughable Vehicle i'm Which Margaret Anglin
 Starred in New York.

Starred in New York. At the High school auditorium to- night at o'clock the New Britain High School Dramatic club will pre- sent Green Stockings" delightful comedy, in three acts This is the play in which Margaret charmed ca pacity audiences everywhere and had an extended run in New York at the Maxine Elliott theater The play is the work of the celebrated English novelist A, E. w. Mason and 1t is a merry one both in plot and dialogue. The plot deals with the custom whereby an elder sister is compelled to wear green stockings at the we'd ding of a younger sister, provided she herself happens to be unmarried or unbetrothed.
 After having worn the hated green stockings twice, Celia Faraday rebels when the time approaches for her to wear them a third time. She, there fore invents a sweetheart, who bears the name of Smith, and she excuses his nonappearance by saying that immediately after she has become en- gagged he has been obliged to sail for the war in South Africa. Tpe sur prise of her sisters forces Ter into details which have to be manufac- tured at short notice. She is even induced to write letter to him, and although she subsequently, thinks she has destroyed it, it is mailed by her younger sister.
 In an endeavor to eXtricate herself from her predicament she later sue ceeds in having published in the London Times a notice that Colonel smith "died October 11th.' The strange part of the story is that the name which she thought was purely fictitious is borne by an officer in Her Maiesty's service, who receives tho letter and turns up under an assumed name shortly after the publication or the death notice. His interview with Celia results in series of tangible sit nations that terminate happily.
 Tickets for the play may be secured at Crowell's drug store until o'clock tonight and after that at the academic building of the High school.

CHINESE BECOME MOVIE FANS
Dressed in Her Best Silks and Most
Dazzling Jewels, Oriental Woman
Watches Films All Day.

China has capitulated to the picture
show. So much so, in fact, that Chi
nese women now make attendance a
social event, to be observed with dis
play of their choicest and most beauti-
full silks and most dazzling jewels.
Instead of social functions at home,
with tea and music and that sort of
thing, Chinese women who would be in
fashion eat large breakfast, adOrn
themselves like a New York society
woman bound for the opera and sally
forth for a day Of watching the films

"The motion picture craze In China"
said Ernest Young, who has been sew
eral years in the Orient, according to
the Seattle Times, "now has reached a
point where the natives are demanding
an all-day show. The way the women
doll up at these exhibitions would
send their fairer sisters of other coun-
tries into Mysteries"
Mr.. Young said the Chinese motion
picture fans are strong for action in
their film entertainment, and gladly sit
In theater all day, providing there
are enough thrills to go around. The
more shooting the merrier the show.
The Orientals, according to Mr.. Young,
also are keen for comedy.
"Chinese audiences" Mr.. Young said,
"are very demonstrative and, when the
hero saves the heroine from an awful
death at the hands Of some Desperate
Desmond they give vent to their ap-
proval in rousing cheers and wild APP
plause."

"Don't be foolish!' she replied. "If

She drew little closer to him.
Let me come, please I" she begged
with pathetic, almost childlike culver
at the corner Of her lips.
He looked down at her. A sudden
wave Of tenderness swept every other

balance seemed suddenly restored. He

NEW STADIUM SEATS 1890
tage In That Main Axis Has Been
Carefully Prepared.

The new football field and stadium
at the University of Wisconsin, with a
total of 1890 seats, of which $500
are concrete, was used for the first
time this fall. The new field has q
decided advantage over the old field
in that the main axis Is on a north
and south line, and it has been care
fully prepared, SO that 1t Is now one
of the best football fields In the con-,
ference.
That part Of the stadium now under
construction will ultimately have ca
pacity of 10000 seats. At present there
are some 5000 concrete seats, built on
an earth embankment, and about 300
seats for "W" men in front Of the rail-
ing. Back of the concrete portion
wooden seats for 5000 persons are be-
ing erected, making total Of more
than 5000 seats available this fall on
the west embankment.
The old wooden bleachers which
have been moved to the east side of
the new field accommodate 1850 per-
sons, and the covered grandstand,
which is now being moved, holds about
1000. The basketball bleachers, seat
Ing 1,116, may also be placed on the
west embankment. If further seats
are required, the baseball bleachers
will be made available.
The 1915 legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the stadium and the 1917
legislature added $4,000. OF this,
about $500 was spent in preparing
the field and grading the hill for the
concrete seats. The present structure
is the initial part of an ultimate plan
for a stadium Of sufficient capacity
for the needs of the athletic field.

two, his hair smoothly brushed, his tie

CHAPTER XVI.

The days and weeks drifted into
months, and John remained in London.
His circle Of friends and his interests
had widened. 1t was only his rela-
tons with Louise which remained still
unchanged. Always charming to him,
giving him much Of her time, favOring
him, beyond doubt, more than any of
her admirers, there was yet about her
something elusive, something which
seemed intended to keep him so far as
possible at arms length.
There was nothing tangible Of which
he could complain, and this probation
airy period was Of his own suggestion.
He bore it grimly, holding his place,
whenever 1t was possible, by her side
with logged persistence. Then one eve
ming there was knock at his door,
and Stephen Strangewey walked in.

taller and gaunter than ever, though
he seemed to bring into the perhaps
overwarmed atmosphere Of Johns lit

Something New About Birds.

American, declares that polygamy ex-
lists among several varieties of our
common birds. The felicity Of mated
birds and the "cooing dove" theory has
received shock from Professor Al

serve all the praise that has beer
showered upon him; neither does Mr..
Wren, for they are both polygamists,
says Mr.. Allen. He tells Of finding two
different pairs Of robins nests, the
two nests in each pair built exactly
alike, joined together and having a
common foundation. Two female rob
ms raised broods, sitting side by side
in two different nests, one male robin
presiding over both households.

Peru to Eiqht Malaria.

The government of Peru is taking
steps for vigorous campaign against
malaria throughout the coIEtry. The
work is to be classified under four
heads: Treatment Of patients, pro-
lection Of people living in places where
malaria is recognized as epidemic, de-
struction of germ-transmitting insects,
and drainage or other special treat
ment Of swampy lands. In connec-
ton with it's campaign the Peruvian
government will import annually what
ever quantity Of quinine may be
deemed necessary, such Imports to be
exempt from import duties and port
charges. Individuals and institutions
are to be enabled to purchase this
quinine from the government at cost
price for their own use or treatment
of malaria patients in their charge.
