the strong part of Nobody was played
by William Pringle, who originally
created the part.
To give a faithful need Of praise to
these two alone would require more
than the allotted amount Of space, to
say nothing OF giving due considera-
tion to the others in the lengthy cast.
Eileen Wilson, Doris Sheerin, and
Margaret MacCambridge were win
some trio as Youth, Beauty and Mod
esty, their personal attributes lend
ing themselves easily and readily to
the parts they assumed. To Marion
Larner. as Conscience. was entrusted
the principal singing role, and her
fresh, sweet voice was one Of the de-
lights of an evening overflowing with
delights and surprises Earle Foxe
had a smaller part than is his wont
to carry. but his work as King Love
the First was satisfactory in the
extreme. Louise Gerard Huntington
was delightful as Truth.
The chorus was again composed OF
Washington girls. and several Of them
displayed real ability in the art OF
stagecraft- Special praise is due Ca
mile Little for her dancing. She will
be remembered as the little danseuse
In the "Only Girl"
AS for the play itself. it is an al
Iegory concerning the quest OF Every
woman for Love Surrounded by
Youth, Beauty, and Modesty, she
harkens TO the voice Of Flattery rath-
er than Truth, and snaps her fingers
at the advice OF Nobody. After
long search, in which Passion and
Wealth try to charm Love. she is
deserted by her faithful handmaidens,
and at last listens to the voice Of the
seemingly decrepit, old hag Truth,
only to find that Truth is beautiful.
Truth leads her home, and there she
finds Love, the son Of Truth.
The music OF "Everywoman' is one
of the features Of the play, and the
score was fittingly rendered by an
augmented orchestra under the direc-
ton Of Bruce Healy.

GAYETY.

A bowl Of burlesque punch in two
mixtures is the deIectable Offering OF
Joe Hurtig's New Social Maids" at
the Gayety this week. They're At
Il Again" is the title Of the witty
and snappy burlesque, the plot Of
which revolves around a pair Of dia-
mond-studded garters. And while it
is being unraveled many tuneful mu-
sicaI numbers are given.
Florence Bennett, a stately prima
donna, who has made a great reputa-
tion on the burlesque stage, and
"Bluch" Landolf, the eccentric CO
median, who convulsed New York
Hippodrome audiences for two sea-
sons, are the featured members Of
the cast. Assisting them are Grace
Fletcher and Justine Grey, two dain-
ty soubrettes possessing much abil'
ity; Paul Cunningham, who is re-
sponsible for many OF the musical
numbers; Frank Williamson and Ben
Small.
A prominent feature is the large
chorus, which has been carefully
trained. The costuming may aptly be
described as gorgeous.

No Garage For Her Car


KANE, Pa, Aug. 19.-Strange
things have happened, and here's
another Furthermore, a Kane
man vouches for the truth OF this
story.
His wife advertised for a laun-
dress, and a strapping, broad
shouldered woman responded. At
ter the wife had explained the
working conditions and the week
ly wage, negotiations were pro-
ceeding smoothIylw the appIi-
cant inquired whether there was a
garage on the premises. Receiv-
ing an affirmative reply, the ap-
plicant asked If there. was room
for two machines. Questioned as
to why she wanted to know, the
laundress replied, 'I just wanted
to make sure, cause I allus comes
in my car"
AS the laundress has not started
to work yet, it is too soon TO say
whether she drives for herself or
has a chauffeur.

THE CAST.

The National, it would appear, is
playing in luck. Two weeks ago "a
Regular Feller" proved Quite a regu-
lar bit of amusement there. And now
behold, this week comes Civilian
Clothes" a comedy full of bright
lines all around a most diverting
plot.
AS we have informed you once and
oft, dear reader, we insistently cling
to the idea that IL a play proves en-
tertaining enough to cause 2 first
night audience to violently signify
its perfect enjoyment thereof, we
cannot help but advise you to go and
do likewise.
1t is a most amusing love story,
based on a timely idea, and so full of
good stuff that the audiences de-
light thereat seems to be quite un-
affected by any technical faults
which may be present
Anyway, here's the story: Florence
Lanham. who's inclined to be snob,
married a captain in France. She
keeps the marriage secret, although
been killed. But he returns, and
uniform replaced by a most Sears
Roebucky civvie outfit, she gets all
peeved up, in the parlance Of the
day, and tells him where to get off
But does he get off there? Nay.
gentle reader. He stays right on, and
gets the job as butler in Florence's
home. or course, all the numerous
opportunities this situation, provides
are fully taken advantage Of during
the action Of the second act, which is
easily the most delightful Of the
three.
Finally Florence. in high dudgeon:
elopes with another man. Her hus-
band pursues. and, OF course, there
comes the happy endiAg-set, Incl
dentaily. in a bed room.
A brief outline does injustice to the
play. It cannot commence to con-
vey an adequate idea Of the many
brilliant lines which drew everything
from smiles, through chuckles and
laughs, to quite unrestFained outlaws.
And it's the kind of a play that
leaves the audience quite satisfied.
and firm in the conviction that 1t
has seen q good play.
Thurston Hall in the role Of the
ex-captain Is most satisfactory, while
Olive Tell, as the girl is quite ditto.
AS for the rest Of the cast one
can merely remark the fUtility OF
rambling through the list OF names
giving a full. share of applause ana
praise TO each member Of that typi-
cal Morosco aggregation Let's just
take them as a group, and say that
they most excellently portrayed a
collection OF characters OF varying
difficulty.
Civilian Clothes" it is quite GER
tain, will be another Of the solid
horosco successes.

on the morning Of January 6. The
previous evening at a great patriotic
rally in the New York Hippodrome a
message was read from him, written
especially for the occasion. In it was
this striking sentence:

American flag, and this excludes the
red flag, which symboiizes all wars
against liberty and civilization just as
much as it excludes any foreign flag
of a nation to which we are hostile,

years.?
Answer.-Good paint properly ap-
piled when needed Is the main thing In
making a house last long and well. A
house worth $500 q be painted at Z
cost OF about $125. In 60 years that
house will need about Is paintings,
the total cost Of which will be $1,895.
Left without paint, such q house would
fall into complete ruin In 80 years. So
taking 60 years as q basis for our dg.
ures we find that with paint a home
will last that time In good condition
and will cost, plus paint, $4.375. With
out paint the house would have to be
rebuilt al the end Of 80 years and
would be ready for another complete
renovation when the sixtieth year ar
rived. Cost. without paint, 5000 for
q home ready to fall to pieces. Does

meanwhile, for those whose occupa-
tien has been interrupted. There II ne
real surplus Of labor In the United
States. Rather there Is 4 shortage,
which would be acute IL normal condi-
ditions were already restored, and one
step towards restoring them will come
with resumption Of repair work.
Government restrictions, imposed BY
the necessities Of the war program,
have for many months past retarded
OF altogether prevented construction,
improvement and repairs. These re-
strictions are now of, and there II
scarcely a town, . city, a factory, q
dwelling or a farm that does not reveal
a crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action ex-
cept the feeling that prices are high
for the time being and may be lower.
That Is not logical. No matter what
1t costs to repair, the cost is less than
the cost Of neglect. No matter what
the cost of paint, the wind and the
weather will collect a higher bill in
deterioration and decay.

FEEDING OF BEET TOPS
THAT WERE SPRAYED
Question Being Earnestly Discuss
ed by Sheep and Cattle Men
Agricultural College Reports.

A farmer from Greeley asks
pertinent question: will beet
tops that have been sprayed for
web worms be safe to feed sheep
this fall"? The facts which inspir-
ed this query are as follows: AT
ter beets had been sprayed there
came heavy rain storm. The fields
drained in a reservoir. A few days
later dead fish in large numbers.
and few turtles, were found
ashore and the conclusion was that
they had been poisoned from the
parisgreen washed down from the
beet fields. Now the question natur-
ally arises: viii beet tops that
have been sprayed be safe to feed
to cattle and sheep?
Several reports have come to the
college Of animals that have been
poisoned on alfalfa cut in orchards

USE OF TRUCKS OR TRACTORS
IN GOOD ROAD BUILDING
According to State Agricultural
College Reports five1on Truck
Chesper Than Horses.

In the construction and main
tensnce of the earth roads in the
rural sections, the most efficient
equipment yet found consists of q
road grader drawn by q 5-tOn
truck. This equipment will do the
common grading such as is usually
done on this type of road for about
One-half the cost of doing the same
work with teams in the old way.
Some of the advantages of the
truck as source of power for this
purpose, are due to its increased
speed and steady action, thus al
lowing the grader operator to OBJ.
tain uniform results.
Dragging roads surfaced with
gravel is necessary, but alone will
not produce satisfactory results
The grader with its greater weight
must be used to smooth off the
troublesome corduroy effect SO no
ticeable on many of our main thor
Oughfares.
We thus see that the truck is
valuable in the construction and
maintenance of both earth and
surfaced roads. On the mountain
roads, this equipment is also the
best that can be obtained for clean.
ing the drain ditch along the inside
of the grade.
Practically all the counties OF
the state have these trucks at their
disposal, due to the action of the
federal government in distributing
the army trucks to the different
states. These trucks should never
be idle, for when not in use in haul
ing surfacing material for new con
structiOn, they can be used as
above suggested, thus adding great
ly to the comfort of the farmer and
the economical handling of farm

where the trees had been sprayed
with arsenate of lead. On the other
hand we eat the fruit of trees that
have been sprayed and in Utah
they are feeding alfalfa that has
been sprayed for the alfalfa Weevil
and no bad results have followed.
Arsenical sprays wash off easily
and in this fact We probably find
solution to the question. Be
tween the time of spraying the
beets, and feeding the tops in the
fall. there is almost sure to be one
or more storms. But suppose it
happens to be dry year and the
storms do not come, will it be safe
to feed the beet tops? This ques-
tiOn is being discussed among
sheep and cattle feeders this fall
and those who should be consider
ed the best authority hesitate to
make definite answer 1t will no
doubt be safe this fall but some
years August and September are
very dry mOnths-how about it
then?--GeO. H. Glover, Colorado
