the fare of the twelve police rockies
who are to live for three weeks on 20
cents day. DR.. Eugene Lyman Fisk
medical director OF the Life Extension
institute, which wants to prove that a
quarter a day will hold soul and body
together for any man, gave hint OF
the bills of fare yesterday.
The volunteers will have meat at
least once day, but only the cheaper
cuts. DR.. Fisk declares that these are
the more nutritious. They are also
much more easily digested, he is GER
tain. But what the rockies prefer
they themselves said so yesterday is
roast beef, roast chicken, roast lamb
ham, mutton chops and veal.
Most of the diet squad are fond OF
eggs. but these ARE prohibited because
OF their cost" DR.. Fisk declared.
Potatoes are on the bill The diet
squad likes potatoes in many styles
Onions are not quite so popular, and
the rockies will receive liberal he p
ings OF beans and peas, to their delight
Carrots, while on the list, Will gel
more OF a cold shoulder from the
rockies.
Macaroni and cheese. butter. bread
and coffee are included in the three
weeks test. Some desserts will be
served, but not too many, and those
will be mostly buildings.
George V. Resch, one OF the rockies
is accustomed 10 eating corned beef
cabbage, vegetables, pastries, meats OF
all kinds, eggs, coffee, and other things
But Resch, while signing at the aban-
donment Of his normal bill Of fare said
that he was game, as he had gone
through some trough things before
And also, he said. he made habit OF
eating so as to wake up hungry, and
the experiment might not be such d
great change.
1t was with determined faces. but
inward misgivings that the diet squad
drifted in the Life Extension Institute
headquarters yesterday.
When they heard what DR.. Fisk said
was in store for them they heaved
signs of relief. "The fare won't be
narrow or monotonous,' DR.. Fisk de
clared. at won't be a prison diet
twenty-five cents a day will feed a
man as we'll as he has any right to eX-
pect. And am confident that the out
come Of this experiment Will demon
strate some big principles
The chosen twelve are almost perfect
specimens of humanity. None of them
uses alcohol. Few of them smoke
Health injuring habits are far below
par among the members of the diet
squad.
John Corcoran takes eggs, ham, rolls
and tea for breakfast. lie likes roast
beef for dinner, along with side dishes
and a supper much like the midday
meal. He hopes that the quarter-a day
meals will be of the same character
"If they aren't we'll put up howl,
he confded.
John II. A. Smith, another Of the
squad, always has soup, meat, vege-
tables, dessert and coffee or tea for
dinner and supper. But he is prepared
TO 20 through with the three diet
weeks. He let drop hint, however
that many of the squad are eating lib
orally now in preparation for the lean
er times TO come.

merchant he is when selling his own
pictures. THAT thing Pretty rotten

Then Van Dyck Brown comes into the
business office "Pve called to see Mr.
Snide about his seashore property"
The stenographer follows the lead
Observation-Disclosures. III tell Mr.. Snide
you're here" Artist Brown applauds
the efforts made to bring congenial
spirits of the art world together in a
summer colony, but he gets all fused
up when the real estate operator un-
folds the plan of selling.
SNDE-For how many units did you
wish to subscribe?
BRowN-Units, units what do you
mean by units?
SNIDE-With each ten thousand dol
lars worth of stock the subscriber re-
ceives unit consisting of two thousand
cubic feet of space.
BRowN-Space-cubic feet?
SNrDE-Yes, a studio ten by twenty
by ten foot ceiling.
BRowN-Then will own forever a
studio unit for ten thousand dollars?
SNIDE-Yes. Between your studio
and the elevator are six and half adj

dining room, clothes closet, broom closet,
one masters slseping room, with bath,
and a private reception hall entrance,
which may also be used as an exit.
BRowN-And all this col pes with the

SNrDE-Oh, yes. The plans show no

It is here that Snide begins to get

the Society OF Illustrators tor
their annual smoker at the
Garden Theatre last Friday evening
one Artist Jackyl and Mister Snide,"
was burlesque Of that type Of success
tul artist who also engages in building
operations. In recent years artists
have erected some large studio build
ings. and have promoted artist colonies.
II is this practical commercial side OF
the artist that has been burlesqued by
the authors, Fred E. Dayton and Robert
!. Wildhack.
The stage scene, designed by John f.
Sheridan and Edward A. Poucher,
showed a dual scene, of studio on the
left and business Office on the right. The
central character of Jackyl and Snide
was a quiet. self-effacing artist in the
studio and noisy, smart business man
in the Office, making simple changes OF
costume and makeup as he appeared III
the studio and office.
As a piece of playwrighting this was
perhaps the Illustrators most ambi-
tious undertaking. The contention was
hat of two women for one man, for the
model in the studio was ever entreating
her hero to give all of his time to paint
inc. while the stenographer in the busl-.
ness Office was quite as eloquent in her
appeals for the business man to devote
all of his energies to business affairs.
Int the office came artists to invest
their fortunes in real estate operations,
and into the studio came business men
70 invest their surplus moneys in plct-
ures. The whole story moved along to
nrove that the artist fails as business
man. while he succeeds as painter
which is the kind of moral that a play
for artists should teach.
While the large burlesque idea was
that of the artist-realty Spectator,
there were sub-plot burlesques, as the
picture buyers who purchase pictures
because they anticipate that the pict-
ures will be worth large sums when the
nainter is dead. while another burlesque
theme was that of the artist who accel~
crates his own fame by indorslng
brand of smoking tobacco and has MS
testimonial reproduced in all the news
papers. weeklies, magazines, and Dill
boards
Not a comma had been permitted 10
intrude itself if it did not advance the
plot. and there were no funny lines aS
lines. which is the common weakness
of amateur playwrights. There were'
however. situations which brought gen.
uine laughs. The play was pohte COM
edy of ridicule, and the specially Sc
lected audience was quick to see all the
hits upon its artist friends.
Wallace Morgan played the big part
of Artist Jackyl and Mister Snlde'
Dotty Fitch, who was also seen III the
Dutch Treat review, was the stenogra-
pher who had no tolerance for art, anu
Miss Sharp the little model who appre-
ciated the painter and inspired MS sue
cess.
The three artists who came INTO the
business Office to purchase real estate
and make investments, Windsor New
ton, Van Dyck Brown and boureeoi'
White, were played by David ROBINSON
Arthur William Brown and Albert Lev
ering. The three business men WIZ
came to the studio to buy pictures were
