"Indeed?" asked Cousin Dromedary.
"Pray tell It to me-"
"Well." said Cousin Camel, as he
continued to chew and move his mouth,
perhaps it's not much of a reason,
but 1t is reason.
THAT is something. Not much-but

said Cousin Dromedary. AFTER all, we

"True, true" grinned Cousin Camel,

Cousin Dromedary had just said.
"You aren't as big as am" Cousin
Camel went on, "and you are not sc

An interesting experiment in neigh
borliness has been carried on for
nearly a year in a part Of Toledo
which is populated almost exclusively
by Polish immigrants and their de-
scendants. The Polish Business Mems
club Of the district conceived the idea
that the needy Polish families in the
community should be taken care Of
In a neighborly way, rather than by
charity organizations. The latter
were requested not to extend aid In
the district, but to notify the club, so
that 1t might meet all emergencies.
This is not done from the club treas
ury, however. An investigation Is
made to determine whether the need
is for money, supplies or work, and
the other residents of the block, in
Guiding the tradesmen, are then in
formed that their neighbors need their
assistance, which, the club reports, IL
always Forthcoming.

Dave Ferguson who was the featur-
ed comedian with Very Good Eddie

pearance now in comedy entitled
"Alimony," is a treat for New Or
leans theatre-goers and a warm vel
come awaits him here. There is
big surprise feature to the turn
which makes il well worth while.
Ed. E. Ford provides more comedy

freshingly clever and calculated to
catch the fancy. There is big fea-
ture quartette of vaudeville stars.
Willie Solar is a specially en-

Charles Lloyd & Co., in a merry

Another clever feature is supplied
by Counte Perrone and Miss Trix

is given to the act by the fact that
Counte Perrone is actually an Ital-
ian Nobleman who was called home
from the army, found himself fac

TULANE THEATRE.

For the second and final week of
his engagement at the Tulane Thea
tire. Robert B. Mantell will repeat
six of the most popular of the plays
of the first week, and, in addition,

Wednesday afternoon; 1.-THE Mer-
chant of Venice" Wednesday night;
Hamlet" Thursday night; Mac
BETH" Friday night; 'As You Like
it." Saturday afternoon, and Julius
Caesar" Saturday night.
Mr.. Mantell is regarded as the
greatest Lear since Edwin Forrest,
and it is on, his Interpretation of
this role that rests most firmly his
reputation as the greatest of living
tragedians. Neither Booth nor
Irving scored decisively as the mad
Briton, both being handicapped
physical limitations they were
able to overcome. On his first
performance of Lear in New York
fifteen years ago, Mr.. Mantell was
pronounced by William Winter,
dean of critics, "the leader of our
STAGE" and reviewers from Coast to
Coast in both the United States and
Canada have confirmed this opin-
ion. This one Interpretation places
Mr.. Mantell definitely among the
stage immortals.
In Romeo and Juliet" is featured
the young and lovely Genevieve
Hamper, who scored decisively as
Shakespeare's romantic heroine on
the last previous visit of Mr.. Man
tell to New Orleans. It is consid-
cred one of the most beautiful of
her interpretations, ranking with
Rosalind and Ophelia.

with her heavy braids of brown hair,
and last, but most important, her
magic-violin, which can set their feet
a-tappin or their eyes a-dreaming.
Her brother, Joseph Ball, a 'cellist
of talent, accompanies her.
Marguerite Padula has a promi-
nent spot on the bill. She is a sing
er, pianist and an expert whistler.
She calls her act Song Study of

ORIGIN OF WORDS.

In tracing q few German words 70
their sorigin, and showing how acts and
ideas became associated and fixed IN
the language, Professor Grummann
has touched on one of the most fas-
cinating branches Of study. The pur-
suit of word back through the ages
to it's beginning takes the student to
the fountain of man. Real beginnings
are lost in antiquity, so that we can
only know Of the first spoken words
by surmise based on hypothetical sup
port, but somewhere written language
appears, and while It shades OF into
the mists that hide the past, 1t gives
a record of mans struggle upward.
The gradual improvements in service
and adaptability of words clearly
mark the progress Of man. His In
creasing needs, flowing from his ex-
panding intellect, required new and
better means for expression, and his
social growth is clearly established by
the development Of his language. Eth
nologic divisions are indicated I'M
guistically as well as physically. al
though the tongue in the end depends
on environment which determines the
life of the race in all Its attributes
and manifestations. Thus words and
their uses become an almost inerrant
index Of the status Of the users.

dairy, "and that was Just what was
speaking about In the first place. Dur
ing the summer you took people for
rides and many visitors came to the
zoo. You didn't care then about your
long hair at all. You didn't mind 1t in
the least because you looked far from
beautiful and quite shorn, in fact
But now that winter has come you
Let your beautiful hair grow fine and
long and very few will see you"
"Ah" said Cousin Camel, "You think
we are careless because we do this
way. But I must tell you the reason
for 1t. 1t Is because we want to save
our beauty for those who will brave
the winter weather to come and call 50
ans. Now, isn't that fine, noble rea-
son? OF course" he added, with the
biggest and broadest Of grins covering
bis entire face, "it's q family habit and

Two thirds of Canada's forests have
been destroyed by fire in the last 10
years, according to figures of the
forestry department Of Canada. The
amount of timber burned would have
supplied the world for $50 years at
the present rate Of consumption and
represents a loss Of a billion dollars.
The white man is not alone RESPONSE
BILE for the destruction Of American
forests, though he has enough for
which to answer. An eminent scien-
fist and historian, according to Ameri-
can Lumberpan, states that if the
discovery Of America had been post
poned five centuries the discoyerers
would have landed on a treeless con-
tinent. Indians and lightning set these
fires. The Indians were burning the
woods to make pasture for deer and
buffalo. Most Of the forests had been
destroyed in the region between the
Rocky mountains and the Mississippi
river before the advent of the white
man.

! A friend Of animals has made plea
IN a long letter to the department OF
parks for the licensing of cats, as dogs
are now licensed, says Rochester Post
Express. The writer argues that II
the cats were licensed, cOllared and
belled, it would be easy for the HUI
name society to pick up stray cats and
dispose of them. Those which were
properly belled would not be a menace
to bird life. The writer of the letter
thinks people who own cats should be
as proud and considerable of them as
those who own dogs, and that in TAX
Ing outs licenses for them they would
