AppIauding of Actors
 Worries N. Y. Managers

New York, Sept. 23.-The impulse of theatergoers to applaud actors as they step out from the wings each night is worrying Broadway. One manager has included in the program I request that the audience break it. self of the habit.
 The custom began with the greet .ngs which star worshipers always ex- tend on the first appearance of lead ing actors. Spurred on, skeptics aver, by mplimentary tickets, the cus- tom spread to lesser mortals. The last straw came the other night when tumultuous applause interrupted performance on the appearance of a minor character, whose only assign ment was to announce that the coach and pair are ready, sir.

EXTRA TAX MAY BE

Several of the city departments are nay have to be levied. according to remarks made recently by Mayor Or son F. Curtis. who is Investigating personally into the statements for the financial status of the various branches of city departments under his Jurisdiction. The charity depart ment. the board of public works. the SC hool board. and the incidental fund all need moro money is the opinion of tho mayor.
 Chairman Frederick S. Chamberlain of the board of finance and taxation will be called in for a session with the mayor and matters relative to a treeting of the board for the purpose of levying a new city tax will be dis cussed. It is thought that a concrete plan will materialize for the meet ing of the Common Council when it meets again in two weeks.
 The city meeting boards status in the question of a special tax is some what hay. If the board is called there is a doubt in the mind of the members whether or not they have veto power or power of debate. At She last meeting of the board. the mayor explained that the members were "cornered," as it were and the board members were groping around in the dark with the result that the board accomplished nothing except to z we a pseudo O. K. to the proceed ings of the city government which had been passed prior to the famous meeting in Grammar school hall.

Whv Rain Causes Pain.

Persons who suffer from rheumatism
maintain that they can foretell an APP
preaching storm by the increasing
frequency of their pains and the sharp
ness with which these dart through
their body, says an exchange.
Often predictions of this sort are at
tributed to imagination, but they have
a very solid foundation of truth. The
human body reacts quickly to changes
of air pressure, because of the air in
the spaces between the cells situated
beneath the skin. When the air pres
sure on the outside of the body de
creases-as it does before a storm
the outward pressure in these cells in
crease, and in the case of persons suf-
fering from rheumatism or govt,
causes additional pain.
An old couplet describes the process
quite accurately by saying:
"a coming storm your shooting corns
presage; Your aches will throb, your
hollow tooth will rage"

HAVE REAL PURPOSE IN LIFE
How the "Go-Getter" Succeeds Where
Others of Equal Ability Find
Themselves Failures.

There's no special secret about the
go-getter. He doesn't measure income
by hours. Time for him is opportunity
He never has enough of it. Every
working hour is turned to account.
It's no wonder he gets the respect of
men and bank account. That's the
evidence that he's go-getter.
Most folks rejoice when a big oppor-
tunity opens for them. The go-getter
has feelings and aspirations just like
any other fellow, only he never wastes
time wishing that ought to be spent
In doing.
There's something, inspiring about
go-getting. A youthful loiterer the
other day was leased into some real
work The results were very crafty
ing. Speaking to his mother a little
later she said: "It's fun to do things
isn't it?" It's the JOY of doing that
makes the go-getter.
After you get going It's easy to at
tempt increasingly difficult tasks. Sue
cess in one begets confidence and skill
that helps achieve in other things also.
When folks see you making things
90 they are very ready TO offer you
fresh avenues to power. Keep fit play
fair and life will become a great game
of achievement.-Grit.

EVIL OF THE RENTING HABIT
Dependency on Other Hands for
Homes Marks Retrogression
in Spirit.

When hOuseholders become renters
by habit, that is, when they become
willing to depend on other hands than
their own to provide and maintain
their homes for them, society loses
much of that valuable individuality,
hat personal independence, initiative
and self-relianee that distinguishes a
great people from mass of people.
For three hundred years the Ameri
can people have led the world in indi-
vidualty, initiative and personal indie
perdence. The fathers pulled out of
the European huddle in order that they
might stand on their own feet; and
having reached America, they had to
stand alone Most born Americans
were born of parents who owned their
own homes.
Contentment with huddle, the will
ingness to live in some one else's
warmed and cared-for loft rather than
in ones own fought-for and paid-for
home marks a retrogresson in spirit
from the American way to the Euro
pean way of life.
However we may excuse ourselves
for inclination toward the easy COM
fort of the choreless commercial, rent
ed compartment, and for shrinking
from the harder. demands of the de-
tached, owned and paid-for home; and
however respectable the renting habit
may have become, it must be admitted
that our inclination is phase of So
cial degeneracy, drift toward the
huddle, the beginning of the abandon
ment of that vitalizing independence
Of which the owned home is pre-emi-

Hedoe Solves Fencinu Problems

More and more Americans are APP
preciating the value of privacy in their
gardens. 1t is sane idea, this
that we plant lovely lawns and grow
shrubs and trees, not to form a park
for the admiring gaze of motorists and
neighbors, but to furnish US with a
little kingdom of outdoors all our
own, where we can live and breathe
and have our being unbeholden and I'M
moleSted.
Very frequently, of course, privet
and other hedge shrubs seem to be
planted only for the sake of divid-
ing one property from another or
one section of the garden from an
other. Then there is reason in keep
ing the hedge clipped back. But
the hedge that is built for the pur-
pose of giving protection should be
clipped only enough to give the roots
strength and to give it a trim ap-
pearance.
Much is being done nowadays with
frs and other evergreens for hedges.
