ANGELICA KAUFF,NIANN.

Angelica Kaufman, historical and portrait painter, died on this date, in 1907, in Rome. Her prodigious in dustry should have produced one
 masterpiece. But extended applica- ton does not make up for that one small spark called ''the divine fire" that glows in the work of Genius. Angelica's great personal attractions partly account for the exaggerated praise heaped upon her by her con- temporaries. If ever girl had a chance it was Angelica. But, fattery and fine living cannot hatch the egg of imm ortality. She was born at Coire in the Grisons; had for years the widest advantages of art friends and galleries of Europe, and at last in London where the girl was pre- scented at court, and painted Queen Charlotte in 1767. She attracted the attention of Goldsmith, Garrick, Fuseli, and Sir Joshua Reynolds. With the latter she carried on a pro- digious filtration. She was as busy as a bee-the list of her works is enormous, portraits, decorations of palaces. The grace of her work is undenfable, but her anatomy was at fault, and her figure vapid and mo- notonous. She contracted an unfor- tunate marriage with a bogus count. The Pope annulled it. In l781 she married a Venetian painter, Zucchi. But she always kept her maiden name.

"Stop, Thief i@ one of the funniest comedies ever presented in this city From the moment the curtain rises upon the first scene until the final moment of the play. the audience is kept in continuous laughter. Every incident makes the plot more and more interesting and offers humor of a scintilating and snappy tone. This is the kind Of play which not only holds the interest of the audience throughout, but also remains per manently fixed on the memory of each individual
 Although the comedy was written for laughing purposes only, the inter vening love stories, with slight vein Of the serious, tends to mark it also as a dramatic production. Every member. of the versa tile Poli Players had a splendid part. The author of Stop, Thief" had arranged for an unusual number of characters, but he has given each one a part to make the theme more elaborate and the plot more interesting.
 Mary Ann DentIer, the Poli Players new leading woman, was seen in the character of a maid, who was in reality a professional thief She is engaged as maid in a wealthy home on the day when a wedding is in progress. Assisted by her lover. Arthur Chatterdon, she begins to rob the home of all valuabIes. The fact that the master of the home and the groom believe themselves kIepto- maniacs, the two thieves have jolly time of making the jewels disappear The final results are too good to dis close It is a Hay worthy to witness for it's humor alGne.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Keep a box of toothpicks on your kitchen cabinet or in the pantry; they are fine for testing cakes, gin serbread, etc.
 When sheets are hung out of doors on windy day, fold them once and pin on the line at the hems.
 To color frosting pink, use strained beet juice. Wash a beet and cut it into pieces; cook until the exact shade is secured. Mix the juice with powdered sugar, and you have a pret- ty frosting for cakes.
 When mending a glove put your finger into a thimble and then into the glove. You will have a much heater darn and your fingers will not be pricked.
 Before washing a sweater, sew up the buttonholes; it will keep them from stretching.

Every woman knows that pretty face loses it's beauty when framed by faded, gray, streaked or bleached hair. Even wrinkles and blenishes are not so disfiguring' as streaked or faded hair. It is unfair to your fam fly and yourself, to look older than VOL really are.

GERMAN OFFICER
 GIVES CAUSE OF Z WAR AND DEFEAT
Blames People and Kaiser, Who ise Termed a Gambler and
 Egotist.

(Correspondence of Associated Press.)
 Berlin, June 15.-The former Ger man emperor is termed superficial, a gambler, "audilettante of the worst kind and the worst enemy Germany has had since 1902" by Vice. Admiral Foss in his revelations entitled, "Dis- closures About the Breakdown" The admiral charges that the emperor let things drop that he had espoused passionately, after he had lost in- terest in them. In his conviction that he understood everything, the former emperor, he says, went so far as to participate in a contest arranged by the navy department for plans to con- struct an armored cruiser.
 The vice-admiral ascribes the break down of the fleet to lack of decision and civilian courage among officers lack of discipline and forgetfulness of duty, even undeniable cowardice.
 Vice admiral Foss gives as the cause of war, first, the "peculiarity of the German people," second, that the emperor, and third, the huge power in the hands of the emperor" He takes the leaders to task and says, Admiral Won Tirpitz was not pro- per leader, that Won Scheer carried out the Skagerak fight with faulty tactics, that Von Hoetzendroff was in- competent but was made chief of staff because of his relationship with Ad- miral Von Mueller and Herr Ballin.

Britain Maintains
 Trade Restrictions

London, July 5.-In it's reveiw of commercial and economic conditions in Great Britain during June, the American Chamber of Commerce in London says that with the disband- ment of the imports consultative coun- cil little change may be expected in imports restrictions on American goods before September. Sir Auck- land Geddes, minister of reconstruc- tion, the report says, has informed parliment that the government has a draft of trade policy prepared in every detail and covering all trades, but it cannot yet be divulged.
 Sir Auckland claims, it is said, that the policy of restricting imports is justified because it protects British manufacturers and supports sterling exchange and, therefore, he cannot guarantee that the restrictions will be entirely removed after September,

 Answering questions put to him by the judge, MT. Mowry denied know ledge of, or participation in, the agi- tation scheme planned by students of Sungsil univtrsity. He admitted that he gave shelter at his house to Vi Posik and four other Koreans but de- nied that he so protected them because of knowing that they were wanted by the police in connection with the agi- tation. He had admitted them simply out of compliance with their request as they were his pupils or employees.
 Public Procurator Mitsui argued that the point of the persent case was whether or not the defendant was aware that the Koreans he gave shel- ter to were offenders liable to a legal punishment heavier than a fine. He declared that the Rev. MT. Mowry's

Prosperity Wave Will Continue in
 U. s. for Years

For nearly four years the world, or the greater part of it has been ab- sorbed in warfare, and the recon struction problems that come in the wake. Nations that were not actual participants were nevertheless affect ed by it.
 Barring three or four months at the very beginning of the struggle the industrial world has been busy. There were a few weeks when the sudden check of battle paralyzed in dustry in certain respects. Then came the tremendous demand for all manner of manufactured articles and raw materials.
 All industry has been busy for the greater part of the period. Labor was never at a greater permium than it was during the struggle. With 20- 900 900 of the worlds workers with drawn from peaceful industry the na-
