While the manufacturers and en-
ployers here do not profess to be
able to absorb the entire $500 men.
and especially so, were they to be
thrown out OF employment all at
once, they do feel they can take
care of a coed proportion Of them
Many Not Suited.
Many OF the arsenal workers who
will be among those to be thrown
out of employment by the shut
down, it is said, are not fitted for
work in the local factories and
shops, because Of the difference in
the kind of work done at the ar
senal. A good many OF these
though, it is declared, worked at
other trades before entering the
arsenal during the war and in such
cases the men will be able to fall
back upon their old training, which
may be suited to the needs Of the
industries here.
Towns Want Men to Return.
Towns not far distant from the
tri-cities, such as Clinton, Musca-
tine, Burlington, GalesDurg. keokuk
and Ottumwa, from which men
came in large numbers to work at
the arsenal during the war. are
said to be anxious to have them
return, because of the demand for
skilled labor in those places. Some
of these places are understood to
be making an organized effort to Sc
cure the return of the men which
left there. This fact alone is
counted upon to take hundreds OF
the men from this community who
are among those to be let out at the
arsenal within the next few weeks.
1t is said that all Of the cities and
towns in the surrounding territory
are experiencing shortage OF
labor, and Of those turned out at
the arsenal who are not residents
of the tri-cities, it is believed that
the majority will go to these out of
town jobs. ,....

ing last night refused to extend the
time for operation Of the street

expires. The vote Of the council
was 5 to 8 against the proposal. the
five Socialists voting solidly against
it.
The council chamber was crowd
ed to capacity at last nights meet
ing and the street car company's
proposal was voted down amid
cheers from the spectators.
Following the vote, the ohicials
Of the street car company left the
council chamber. refusing to make
any comment on the result. This

stated that nothing would be known
definitely for a week as to whether
or not the cars would be operated
in Davenport after June l, when the
7-cent fare becomes null and void
and the old scent rate automatic
ally goes into effect.
Though it had been expected that
the street car company would pre-
sent a petition at last nights meet
ing of the council asking that q spe-
cial election be held for the pu:-
pose OF giving the voters Of Daven-
port an opportunity to approve OF
reject the 7-cent fare proposal,
nothing was done along this line.
Neither would officials Of the COM
pany announce last night or today,
whether they we're considering
making such move.

street car company with trying to
avoid giving the people Of Daven-
port an opportunity to express
themselves on the 7-cent fare, and
that a year ago the street car men
and the company worked together
for their mutual benefit and at the
expense of the public in general.

Illinois in the final game of last

The proposed structure is U-shaped
in design with two seating levels in
elevation. This double-deck seating
arrangement has an advantage over
all previously constructed stadia, as
the spectators will be seated as
closely as possible to the contests
and in inclement weather the greater
part of the lower tier will be pro-
tected
The total seating capacity will be
$4,000. The distance around the out
side will be little more than one

high and the boxes will accommodate
100 people If the long tiers OF
seats were stretched out in a straight
line they would come within four
miles of reaching from Columbus to
Delaware, or a distance of twenty
one miles. The thousands who attend
the future athletic events at the uni
versity will be easily handled through
fifty-six stairways that will feed one
hundred and twelve aisles, all having
a circulation capacity sufficient to
empty the stadium in seven minutes.
Tickets will be taken at eighty-three
entrances.
The north, or closed, end of the
stadium, with its movable stage,
will be used for open-air plays, mo-
ton picture exhibitions, pageants and

You've read how the New Edison has proved
its perfect realism. Four thousand tests have
been given, in which more than so different
artists compared their art with its RE
CREATION by the New Edison Leading
newspapers conceded that there was no diff
ference between the two.
Has any one suggested to you that these
comparison tests are faxed - that the
artist initiates the New Edison ?
Signor Friscoe's performance makes such an
assertion positively ridiculous. Every week.
10000 people, see his hammers ripple over
the xylophone keys Suddenly he holds them
aloft-still.
The ripping music continues.
Slowly, the gorgeous curtains of the back
drop part The audience gasps. The New
Edison stands revealed 1t has taken up
Signor Friscoe's performance. and is now
RE-CREATING it alone. The effect of this
extraordinary magic can rest upon only one
fact: No one can distinguish any difference
between Signor Friscoe's performance and
its RE-CREArIoN by the New Edison. Signor
Friscoe could nat possibly initiate the New
