The Low Cost of Cabbing

Oliver Herford, in Leslie's.
 In the last ten years or so all the neces- saries and most of the luxuries of life have more than doubled in cost-all but one--the cabzor to be more accurate, the taxicab.
 Perhaps 1t is because a cab is quite as often a necessity as it is a luxury and so falls between two schools, the stoic and epicurean, that it is an exception to the rule of rising cost-(and while I think of it, it might be just as well to touch
 woodD.
 Did I say rising cost? If am not very much mistaken the cost of cabbing, so far from not rising. has actually fallen in the last ten years, and that brings me to my great invention. | It is a scheme for saving money, a thrift scheme. It is like this-every time you take street car (what with the dis located service and the abolition of trans fers) you are paying nearly twice wha' you used to pay. and soon you will be paying even more.
 On the other hand, a voyage that In cab, fifteen years ago, cost you $l 90 to-
 day in a taxicab costs you only 75 cents. Now make a swift calculation If you take six cars a day you lose 30 cents A loss of 30 cents day doesn't seems very much, but in year it amounts to a loss of .50 which is not to bt
 treated lightly.
 1 Now if you take six taxis at an average | cost, of, say, $2 per trip, you are savint

LOUISE GLAUM IN SEX"
 AT THE STRAND

A tremendous emotional success is belng screened all this week at the Strand, showing Louise Glaum in Sex"
 Sex" is an intense drama with an in- teresting, broad and greatly misunder- stood theme, namely, woman. She IS dealt with mostly, however, from the viewpoint of the pleasure seeker Adrienne Renault is hardly what one would call simply a 'butterfly; she IS moth, but a very clever moth IS she, one who has managed to swirl through years of maddening pleasure with un- singed wings, which perhaps accounted TOT an utter lack of sympathy for the sor- rows of her own sex.
 "We women are always fighting over men, she said. and take it as matter of course. When we listen to the hard 1, luck story of another woman, we prove how foolish we are." Saying this, she sroceeded, or continued to proceed. to use I all her charms and allures on young
 married man, despite visit from his un-
 happy wife. But Adrienne falls victim Ito the heritage of all women, which IS l true love, and having said she would marry no man, she gives her heart ana hand to one And it is when another women takes her place in his life that she awakens to sympathy with her sex. | It is a wonderful story, and the ponl of the plot falls truey on the beads ol many women, especially of the pleasure seeking Adrienne type. It fails snort m I assuming that this is the attitude of all | women, however for in so doing iarge lmajority of women find in one another true and loyal companionship are over

TOM MIX AT
 THE RIALTO

Imagine it! Tom Mix in a real drama, almost what might be called regular love story"
 At any rate it is not a pure story or ad- venture and daredevilsm, and Mix actual ly has to sit by and let fate and tbe plot work out a few things. We are so accustomed to the dashing and reckless actor taking the story by the neck. as 1t W ere, and by his bravery forcing every thing through to it's good and proper end- ing, that it seems entirely unnatural 10 see fate take a part with Mix about. But it is a play that he wrote himsel1, and as a delightful mixture of daring deeds and deeper drama. 1t shows that the nopular actor knows good story, and can improve on those that have been writ 1 ten for him.

Once upon a time, many thousand
wears ago. there lived witch on the edge
Of the sea. The desert sands came right
nm to her door and the house. was so SIT
mated that while the back door was sitting
On the hot sands the front opened right
over the water.
Now. about the home of the old
witch there were various animals, among
them many birds Of all kinds, and these
were her servants Some cooked, othefs
swept and other attended to the garden.
The favorite servant of the wItch was
bird which had long straight bill / ms
fowl was known MS the pelican. but IL

Now one morning the witch woke
I'M and when she looked out OF the
window what should she see but the
garden full Of tiny busy bugs eating up
her vegetables and flowers.
OH exclaimed the witch as she
ran wildly about, IF these bugs are
not destroyed ut once everything growing
i will be eaten up :.
| The witch tried her magic, but IT
would not work. She burned pink lights
and said strange words as the smoke
arose and called on the spirits and the
! fairies, but nothing seemed to do any
good.
Then the witch got q broom and sci

The woman who has children often feels
