"Broadway FrolicS"

Jack Singer, who in the past has pro-
duced numerous pretentious burlesque
productions, and who last year offered
the huge success, "Hello, New York. ."
has this season outdone any of his
previous efforts and is offering THE
Broadway Frolics," which is entirely
different from anything he has thus
far put before the public for their ap
prevail. This wonderful show comes to
the Casino Theatre for one week begin
ming with the regular matinee on Mon
day. 1t is probably the most stupen-
dous production yet offered to patrons
OF the Casino Theatre, and Manager
Leslie is fortunate in securing such a
stellar attraction for his house. 1t is
an entertainment that is chuck full OF
surprising acts which are mostly SEN
sational. The scenery for this mann
moth production is so massive that it
requires two sixty foot cars to transport
| it from one city to another.
Singers ability to produce some
thing out of the ordinary is an estab'
lished fact and this seasons offering is
no exception to his past reputation Of
always bringing forth something bet
ter than before. The cast is specially
selected one and every one has been
given unlimited scope to. demonstrate
their ability as entertainers of merit.
STRANDED" is the title Of the vehicle
used and it was written with the idea
of driving dull care away. A remark
able cast makes the show especially
effective. Lon Hascall who portrays
various characters and who has a way
of his own, is chief of the fun depart.

Heavy Railway Traffic

More than l, 300, 900 passengers were
carried on Public Service cars, on an
average, every day during the year
1917. The total for the twelve months
was 476, 974 1888, gain of about 25,000,
600 over the previous year. Even in
these days of big figures it is difficult
to grasp the magnitude of the street
railway company's task. To mobilize
and move an army of 100000 men re-
quires weeks of time and a vast
amount of organization detail, yet day
in and day out, all through the year,
the street railway cars carried peace
full army of 1900, 600 men, women and
children in the 146 municipalities in
which the company operates.
By no means all of the total number
of persons carried paid cash fares as
about three out of every ten revenue
passengers use transfers and the trans
fer passengers figure in the grand
total.
OF the total number of rides the
Southern division, which is centered
around Camden and extends to Tren
ton and into Gloucester County, con
tributed 4S,016,395 of the grand total
This is equivalent to sixteen times the
population of the state. The daily
average was 131, 552 passengers or 8
total larger than the population of the
city of Camden, transported every day
incidentally the Southern division
stood third on the list, being surpassed
by the Essex and Hudson divisions In
both of which the population is much
greater. To carry all the millions o.
people the cars of the company covered
approximately 100000.

Gas and Electricity to Cost More


The Public Service Corporation has
been successful in its application to
the Public Utility Commissioners to
be allowed to increase the price of gas
and electricity served to its patrons in
New Jersey, which increase, the Public
Service said, was necessitated by the
fact that the war had made its bust
ness almost improbable. The Utility
Commissioners on Friday granted an
order that will compel all domestic
consumers Of gas,supplied by the Pub
lie Service Gas Company in New Jer-
sey to pay 81 cents thousand cubic
feet, an increase of seven cents. This
order will take effect on the bills Of the
company for February. The rates for
gas for commercial users are so adjust
ed that the minimum charge will not
be less than 65 cents beginning with
February.
Another order affecting the rates for
electricity was technical in nature, but
il will result in an additional income
to the Public Service for 1918, which
will be at least 81. 100000 in excess of
the income for the year 1917. For the
present there will be no increase for
the users Of electricity for domestic
purposes.
The orders make it very plain that
these increases are in the nature OF war
surcharges and are to continue only
during the life of the conditions, due
to the war, which have resulted in in
creased cost Of production OF gas and
electricity.

New York and Quebec.

Quebec City is older than New York
It was founded In 1908 by Samuel de
Champlain, whereas the earliest date
that can be set for the founding OF
New York Is 1910. New York Bay and
the Hudson river were discovered by
Verrazano In 1924. and the discovery
was followed by occasional visits of
trading and exploring vessels until the
arrival Of Henry Hudson In 1909, one
year after Champlain had built his
fort and chateau on the slope leading
up 70 the heights of Quebec. Begin
ming with 1910 Dutch merchants dis
patched several vessels to engage In
the fur trade with the Indians, and In
1614 ship commander Adrian Block.
having lost his vessel, built theH On
rust" or Restless" on the shores Of
the upper harbor of New York. About
the same time q few huts were built
on the south end Of Manhattan island.
In 1923 the country was erected into
a province by the Dutch. and the seat
OF government was established on Man
haitian island. on part Of the site of
the present city of New York. Dutch
rule commenced, and continued until
September 8, 1884, almost one hundred
years before the British acquired New
France op Canada

right down to business. The measures

finally made the law. 1t also provides
that schoolhousss may be used as poll
ing places and that school teachers
may be appointed election officers. AS
the majority Of teachers are women
this may be sop to soften the recent
defeat Of the amendment to give
women right of suffrage. At the pres

school elections on every subiectexceps
the selection Of members of the Board
OF Education. They are not privileged
to cast 0 ballot at any other election
and to put them in as officers OF an
election where they will not have any
vote seems to verge on the ridiculous
Not that they would not make as Ca
pable officers as some who now presidt
over the ballot boxes, for there is
good chance to make improvement
along this line.

Novel aed for naraIxti..

One Of the great problems in certain
cases Of spinal wounds with paralysis
Is how to move the patient sufficiently
to make his bed and tend his wounds
without increasing his sufferings By
moving him. The new bed solves the
problem Surrounding the bed Just at
the edge Of the mattress is a rectan-
gular framework Of hollow metal pip
Ing. Connecting the two parallel sides
are broad bands Of webbing stretched
across the mattress, and on these the
patient Hes. The two short sides of
the framework, the one at the head of
the bed and the other at the foot, are
connected by geared wheel with a
vertical steel post SO that by simply
turning a handle at the head or foot
Of the bed the framework, with the
patient lying on the webbing, can be
lifted OFF the mattress without his Do
sition being changed in the least.

Folly Of RIdloule.

A moment of Indulgence IN ridicule
may create lifelong resentment, notes
a student.
The late Richard Mansfield Is said
to have nursed grievance against
Henry Irving for years. The reason
was that Irving had momentarily IN
dulged a little weakness he had for
making sardonic remarks.
Ridicule Of persons strikes at per-
soLal vanity. And vanity Is a very
common weakness. Few escape II al
together.
And this kind of ridicule, In fact all
kinds, on examination, will be found
to be associated with vanity. In ridi-
culing there is invariably the desire to
show how clever one is oneself.
1t is said that W. 8. Gilbert. the
English dramatist, when he called IN
mis- friends, always made a quick exit
His alert temperament was evidently
opposed to dawdling. He knew how
