At THE AUDITORIUM.

The End of the Tour" today's
feature at the Auditorium, starring
Lionel Barrymore, is a play said TO
contain strong human interest, a
plea for happiness. Col. Jessup. who
seemed TO have no gentler side TO his
nature, drove his young wife from
their home by his harshness. She
had to escape 10 a place where she
thought she could find love and true
human sympathy. She chose the first
means that came to hand and ran
away with a travelling theatrical
company. The young wife died, but
her boy, whom she had taken with
her, lived, and he in turn went on
the stage. Chance or fate, caused
him 10 be stranded in the town from
which his mother had fled and in
which his father and sister still
lived. How he saved his sister from

1.-THE BLUE PARADISE"

IF girl is possessed of talent, a
level head and the courage TO en-
dure many discouragements and
heart-aches. 1 would advise her by
all means to adopt the stage as a
career" This is the advice 10 stage
struck girls offered by pretty GYPSY
Dale who, at Is, has won stage fame
as the prima donna Of The Blue
Paradise" the reigning musical SEN
sation which comes 10 the oliver
theater on Wednesday,. March Z,
matinee and night, directly follow
ing a years run in New York city.
Certainly none of the professions
offers a better or more attractive
means OF earning a livelihood than
the stage. The opportunity for ad-
vancement is wider today than ever
before. This opinion is borne out
by the current commercialization of
the theater. This can do but little
harm to the player. and as the pro-
ducers are ever on the alert for new
and promising material. the fact
that the theater is commercialized
makes the player more valuable
And if the ACTOR is blessed with ver-
satility this condition only enhances
his opportunity. Acting, like any
other business, involves a question
of ability, whether the player be a
comedian or a tragedian."

WASTE OF HEALTH IS
A PERIL TO THE NATION
BY REV. GEORGE LUTHER cADY OF LANSING, MICH.


The emphasis which has been put on health programs, athletics
and open-alr agitation has been entirely In the interest Of happiness,
economy and industrial efficiency. All of which is good and necessary
but how often have we thought of it as a patriotic program and that pre-
paredness in health was vastly more essential than preparedness in arms?
1t is "the man behind the gun" who makes or unmakes the value of the
gun but if the man be narrow chested, anemlc, weak of limb, defective OF
eve, the gun might almost as well never have been made. All the arma-
ments in the world, the best that Krupps o T Bethlehem Steel "a turn
out will never prevent one foe from landing on our soil if the man behind
the gun is a degenerate. Not less so Is it O. the farms than at arms. In
the industrial or agricultural crisis a well as the military we demand a
manhood who will come forward and lay on the altar of their country
their very best.
When me realizes that the requirements for our army are that a
man shall be five feet four inches in height, weigh 125 pounds, have a
chest mobility of only two inches, and be otherwise fairly sound, one is
surprised to find how large a proportion of our young men Of today are
rejected. One is reminded that we are threatened with a deterioration
which may imperl our very existence. May W e not well say to the men
of today: "The waste of your health may imperl not only your living
but your liberty?
And have W e as a nation realized that u greatest asset a not
OH banks. OF u factories, Of our mines, or our farms, but our man
hood? Have we been too busy making money so that we had no time for
making men? May W e not well now turn attention to building up
our walls at this point?

lack Rabbits Which Live
on Deserts of Southwest
Are Never Known to Drink.

A very curious feature of animal
life in the deserts of the Southwest is
that rabbits, quail. squirrels, deer, an
telope, the mountain sheep and many
kinds of reptiles and insects live at
great distances from visible water.
The jack rabbit is especially notable
in this respect; and, moreover, it
flourishes in regions without a particle
of green food in sight for miles and
miles.
Westerners assert that the jack
rabbit may be found, happy and fat,
spending the day under a scrap of
bush that makes little more shade than
a fiShnet. His skin l. as porous as n
piece of buckskin, and the heat is
sufficient TO evaporate every drop of
blood in his body, yet he seems to get
on very nicely.
Californians yer hat no n has even
seen n jack rabbit drink. Those who
have camped for days In the deserts
in vicinities where the only water for
miles around. was to be found. and
with rabbits everywhere, declare that
never does one of the little fellows
come to the springs TO drink. Men
have even gone SO far as 70 examine
the margins of waterholes in those dis
tricts, with never a track of the rab-
bit disclosed beyond where the grass
grew.
