PLAZA.

The show at the Plaza theatre is, as advertised, exceptionally good, Constance. Binney Is presented in her first Realart production, "Erstwh1le Susan,'' a delightful six act drama from the great stage success made famous by Mrs. FNiske. It is one of the sweetest stories ever told and is thoroughly enjoyable for every minute of the hours time it runs. "Erst- while Susan'' has the particular ap- pea1 that makes it loved by young and old, and by all classes.
 Every act is a hit and any one Of them can claim feature position. La Hoon and Duprecce went big last night with their comedy act, Some where in Texas Chief Little Elk and Co. present a very pretty act in "Bits of Indian Life.' Every mem Der of the act has a splendid voice and they sing all modern songs. Jack McAuliffe, the only undefeated cham pion of the world, came in for a large amount of applause. His mon olokue is very interesting. Dolly S Pets is something unusual that was thoroughly pleasing to the audience. The pictures of New Haven's big fire in the Chamber of Commerce build ing gave a good idea of the blaze. Topics of the Day, ever popular with Plaza. patrons and International News completed the bill.

WORDS, LIKE CLOTHES,
SHOULD FIT THEIR USER

Did you ever stop to think that
words may be like clothes-too
large or too small? That when
they do not suit the thought they
are ill-ftting. and unpleasant to
the party who hears or reads them?
Yet this is, indeed. often the case.
And every person should choose
his words with care. so they may
not be too big, like fathers trous-
ers on his little son. or too little,
like hand-me-down suit three
sizes too small for a growing boy.
Besides. a person who uses words
that do not convey his exact mean
ing. loses the force of an idea that
might, accomplish much in deed
and action. A lack of skill in the
use Of these tools of thought may
serve to keep one down in the
world when he belongs on top. II

The Housewife S Fancy

In the spring II lightly turns to
things to eat" Having bid a fond
farewell to sausage. scrapple. hot
cakes and the like, there is a period
between seasons when the home
maker is really at a loss to know
what to serve. Busy men and chill
dren hate to be bothered with
fruit" at breakfast, but they will
always drink the juice of an orange
if II is prepared for them. Oranges
and all the other members of the
citrus family are characterized by
an abundance of free citric acid and
a high proportion of water. They
are anti-scorbutics-ag sour

debris left by the winter diet.
Give some of the lighter cereals,
and IL heavy work is to be done by
the individual, soft boiled egg may
be allowed. The average housewife
has but little to say about the mid
day meal of any member of her fam

vegetables play a large part in the

Daily Horoscope
MONDAY. MAY 3, 1920.

Astrologers read this as an i'm
portant day in planetary direction.
The sun is in evil place.
The luminary seems to presage
many anxieties for all who seek
high office. Surprises have been
long forecast for the political cam
paign. One party will nominate a
man little talked of for supreme
honors.
The horoscope for election day
would seem to indicate that the
next President of the United States
will be man over whom the planet
Mercury exercises control. This
means that a man of letters or a
lawyer rather than a man of busi-
ness or a soldier would be elected
Great changes in methods of dis
posing Of crops will benefit farmers,
but these will be brought about by
their own initiative.
During this month there wilT be
many reactions in public sentiment.
Opinions Will change rapidly and
campaign managers will have many
puzziing conditions to overcome.
Women continue subject to a rule
that makes them an indeterminate
quantity in politics, since they will
be affected by personalities as we'll
as principles. A candidate will gain
much disfavor among them.
This month is likely to be ex-
ceedingly taxing to all legislators.
Commercial treaties will come up in
new aspects that may affect business
conditions, the seers prophesy.
The summer seems to presage
much activity among women who
will profit greatly along many prac-
tical lines.
Dress reforms will be seriously
considered in the autumn when
there should be a return to less
extravagant standards and more
modest fashions,
One Of the signs of the summer
season is read as forecasting an in
crease in nervous irritability among
both men and women. AS there is
likely to be unprecedented heat this
condition may be due to it.
Persons whose birthdate IL Is
should avoid Irritation and an in
clination to enjoy too >much leisure
during the coming year. Business
affairs should be carefully managed.
Children born on this day may be
great favorites with the opposite
sex. These subjects Of Taurus usual
ly have great charm Of manner.

Excellent Advice

1t is only by making mistakes that
1t acquires wisdom
Better a thousand times to take
the knocks and bruises of life. to be
SCARED with them from head to
foot, than to have been kept in cot
ton wool. protected from every
rough wind that blows. doomed to a
perpetual habyhood by the over
love of foolish parents. 1t is a luck
Ter and happier tate to be a ragged
newsboy, running the streets and
living by his Wits, than to be a rich
boy, led by the hand by adoring par
ents and never permitted to cross
the avenue alone for fear of getting
run over by a milk cart. And the
poor boy has a better chance in life
of success.
Think of how few Of the rich
mems sons you have known who
have been equal to carrying on theLs
fathers business. They had been
the prisoners of love so long, that
when their jailer died they were
like those captives in the Bastile
who sat stillin their cells after the
doors were flung open, knowing
not what move to make. bewildered
with liberty they did not know
how to use.
And among the most pathetic
prisoners OF love are those victims
to their hearts and their con-
sciences, who have let their parents
shut opportunity away from them
on the other side of the wall. Mary
had most desirable offer of mar
riage. but mother wept and begged
her not to leave her and father, and
Mary was too devoted a daughter to
buy her own happiness by making
her parents unhappy, so she said
goodbye to love. and doomed her
self to a lonely and purposeless old
maidenhood.
Tom had a splendid opportunity
to go into business, but father
couldn't run the farm or the village
store without him so he is staying
on. and is drudging out his life for
a pittance, and nobody even pins a
good conduct medal on Toms
breast, for Father is so happy to
have Tom always bound to him.
that he doesn't realize Tom isn't
equally hilarious about being bound,
For. after all, there is a difference
between being jailer and prisoner.
Perhaps We are. all prisoners of
love. for the silken cords OF arrec-.
ton bind US more securely than
could iron bands But. oh. dear and
beloved jaiiers, be .merciful to us,
and some time set the prison door
ajar little so that we can see out
to freedom!

block without holding our hands.
