cARUsO AND STAGE FRIGHT

Richard Barry, in Lesiie's.
 I remember the day I first met Caruso in the office of Will Guard at the opera. He was not on the bill that day, but he hung about as If he had been in the east. I had just been talking with an Italian subcontractor on Staten Island concerning the re- modelling of a house. I was imme- diately struck with his similarity in type with Caruso. They were out wardly as like as two peas, plain Italians with bluff and charming naivete. I asked Caruso if 1t was true that he suffered from stage fright at leach performance as had heard that he did.
 He laughed. No" said he. T only die" Then he quickly added: Did you ever sec a bull fight?"s Fora few minutes we compared notes on bull fighting. Then inquired for the meaning of his question.
 ''The day appear" he continued.

You Cannot
 Hide Your Fat

Overfatness is the one misfortune you cannot hide from yourself or from those around you. If too thin. your dressmaker or tailor can supply the deficiencies. but the overfat carry burden then can not conceal. There is one sure way to reduce your weight surely and quickly. The harmless Marmola Prescription. which changes the fatty tissues and fat producing foods to solid flesh and energy, helps the general health and digestion. permits you to eat substantial food. and leaves the skin clear and smooth. This famous prescription is now condensed into tablet form. Each tablet contains an exact dose of the same harmless ingredi- ents that made the original prescription capable of reducing the overfat body steadily and easily without the slightest i'll effects. Take but one tablet after each meal and at bedtime until the normal weight is reached and the bodily health completely restored. Ask your druggist ,foF AFYAa Rrsseriptipa Tsblsts or send Woodward Ave. Detroit, Mich. the price the world over, and you will receive enough to start you well on the road to slimness and happiness.--Adv.

 I expressed astonishment at this revelation of the happy, the gay Caruso. the well-known caricaturist the practical joker. the life of the party whom everyone who ever saw him about the opera house supposed to be without a care in the world.
 His eyes twinkled and the boyish grin appeared on his mobile face. T told you" he explained, T do not suf- fer. I always die happy"

for 800 to 600 pupils in each school. Through the influence of the Amer iean architects, each school has been provided with sufficient grounds to establish a playground with gymnas- tic apparatus and in some cases with a running track, football field. out door basketball court and tennis courts.
 The mayor of the city has taken to the American Idea of sports and has persuaded the council to provide grounds for establishing playground eenters as well as q large athletic field. As result. the architects had the problem of laying out d large playground on the site of the ruins of the old St. Ledger abbey which dated from the thirteenth century; and a quarter mile track with foot ball field within, on the site of the St. Crepin estate, the chateau of which was entirely destroyed by the German shell fire.
 Under the supervision of R. w. fBauhan, the chief American architect of the district. who had had expe- rience in connection with the Prince ton university stadium, the work has been completed, plans for new sta dium drawn and the work of erection begun. The mayor of Soissons Is hoping thus to make his city the cen ter of athletic activity in France.

 NEWTON AND EINsTEIN.

From OOSmlC OTuClpi0s' " pSNA oS
 Ellery Hale, in Scribner's.
 Take, for another example. the greatest law of physics-Newton's law of graWtation. Huge balls or lead. as used by Cavendish. produce by their gravitational effect a minute rotation of a delicately 5us- pended bar. carrying smaller balls at it's extremities. But no such feeble means sufficed for Newton's purpose. To prove the law of gravitation he had recoursesto the tremendous pull on the moon of the entire mass of the earth, and then extended his re- searches to the mutual attractions CT all the bodies of the solar system. Later Herschel applied this law to the suns which constitute double stars, and today Adams observes from Mount Wilson stars falling With great velocity toward the center of the galactic system under the com bined pull of the millions of objects that compose it. Thus full advantage has been taken of the possibility oi utilizing the great masses of the heavenly bodies for the discovery and application of a law of physics and it's reciprocal use in explaining ce- lestial motions.
 Or consider the Einstei ntheory of
 
 relativity, the truth or falsity of which is no less fundamental to physics. It's inception sprang from the Nicholson Morley experiment. made in a basement laboratory in Cleveland, which showed that moton of the earth through the ether of space could not there be detected. This experiment is now being re- peated by Miller on the summit of Mount Wilson to determine whether the absence of relative motion of earth and ether. as observed at low levels, is equally true at high alti- tudes. All of the three chief tests of Einstein's general theory are astro- nomical-because of the great masses required to produce the minute effects observed; the motion of the perihelion of Mercury. the defIection of the light of star by the attraction of the sun. and the shift of the lines of the solar spectrum toward the red questions got yet completely an- swered.

Consequently. many players play de- liberately to get tho ball high from the tee. It is the mathematician, Tait, believe, who demonstrated that golf ball is never blown on- ward by a favoring wind, as Is popu- larly believed, for the reason, oh- vious enough when 1t is pointed out, that q driven golf ball travels faster than any wind that ever blew. Tait also explains that wind flying with the ball can increase the distance of the balls flight only because air re- slstanee to the ball Is lessened and the decreased resistance permits the ball to travel short distance far ther.
 The Finest Shot
 Harry Vardon thinks that the drive which must be played into terrific wind and be intentionally pulled or sliced in order to obtain the custom ary distahce is one of the finest shots in the game. But in this Var don Is talking about the winds that sweep the British courses almost daily. These are winds that we do not contend with here except on rare occasions. And you would have to see Vardon wrap one of his thrilling in- tentional pulls around q dog leg cor ner to really grasp what he means. In the drive. Vardon, the master. makes his ball answer him with ev- erything except singing voice.
 Don't give too much thought to mi nor winds. You will soon observe that they have little effect and that they are mainly a mental hazard. l shall have more on this subject.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for year
with rheumatism. Many times this terri
Bile disease left him helpless and unable
to work.
He finally decided. after years o.
ceaseless study, that no one can be FIRE,
from rheumatism until the accumulated
impurities, commonly called uric acit
deposits, were dissolved in the joints ant
muscles and expelled from the body.
with this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and fnail,
compounded a prescription that quickl'
and completely banished every sign ant
symptom Of rheumatism from his system
He freely gave his discovery to other
who took It, with what might be calle,
marvellous success. After years OF urg
ing, he decided to let sufferers every
where know about his discovery througl
the newspapers.

AT THE QUEEN.

Chickens" is the title of Douglas
MacLean's latest comedy coming for
presentation to the Queen the last
three days Of the week. The star
has surrounded himself with all
sorts OF chickens in keeping with
the title Of the picture-there are
those who cackle and are born with
feathered skin and there ara those
who laugh and sing and look un-
usually well in fine feathers that are
not their own.
The comedy which was written by
the same scenarist as "23 y Hours
Leave" sparkles with all sorts OF
fun. Mr.. MacLean is seen as a city
millionaire who takes up the pro-
fession Of chicken raising. apply
ing himself to the work with un-
usual vigor and originality. The sit
uations Of the piece are almost en-
tire humorous. although a little SER
iousness creeps in for a moment or
two-just long enough to add sta
bility and logic to the story.
