STAGE GIRLS"

OF course it is interesting to know
that Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., has decided
that the price of seats at the theatel
must come down eventually, and that
actresses, musicians and stage hands
ETC., must be cut.
The cuts in salaries have already
begun in the movies, it is said. "The
plays the thing" seems to be the
theory to be adopted in the future
by those financially interested in the
cinema.
But interesting as 1t is that the sal
aries and prices of seats are to be
reduced, more significant, in human
way, is Mr.. Ziegfeld's remark about
the girls" of the stage-of his stage.
Speaking of girls" says Mr.. Zieg-
feld-and who should know better
than he-"the day of the big girl is
over, too. 1t is the small girl with
brains and personality who is in de-
mand"
Far back in the span of years one
may remember the appearance of the
choruses in musical extravaganzas
which were the forerunners of the
sort of musical show which now
interests Mr.. Ziegfeld-and Broadway.
That chorus was usually composed Of
statuesque beauties who moved about
the stage-each move a picture
bearing spears or other paraphernalia
which prevented their becoming too
frisky in their steps. Their costumes
too, though not startlingly secretive
were not Of character calculated te
allow swift, dazzling energy of move
ment. This was the day Of the "big
girl and in alteration of her the
bald headed row. gained it's name.
Slowly the big girl was dropped
falling before the thrilling spright-
illness of the clever girl who took ad-
vantage of every chance she had to
shine, freed of the cumberso me
chorus of statuesque beauties. The
ponies arrived on the scene and
were acclaimed.
Mr.. Ziegfeld pays what is probably
an unconscious tribute to those who
attend musical comedies when he says
that the day of the "big girl' on the
stage-his stages passed. But IN
doubtedly he refers only to the "big
girl who had nothing other than hel
statuesque beauty to recommend her
The big girl with brains and per-
sonality is as popular today as ever
but it is her finer characteristic that
| recommends her. The world-eve1
demanding better things every day

"JEST RUMINATIN' !"
(Robert Russell.)

The scientific fellers says that
we have got the power.
To strengthen our activities if,
in that quiet hour
When We are droppin' off to
sleep, we murmurs DER and
''Whate'er I've done, tomorrow
L can do a whole lot more;
Tomorrow I can do that thing
I've failed to do for weeks;
Tomorrow I can realize the
goal my longin' seeks;
Tomorrow I can plant the
seed that soon will blossom
fair
"An' bring true recognition in
place O. black despair.
But" says my ruminatin'
pipe, though these remarks
are true,
"Obtainin' those worthwhile
results is strictly up to you.
IF, when the mornin' sunlight
comes, you work with old in

SPANISH TARIFF OPPOSED
New Measure Would Increase Cost O

New Measure Would Increase Cost of
Living, Opponents Declare
Madrid, Aug 8-The protective
feature of the present Spanish tariff
and of the proposed new tariff meas
ure are criticized by the Revista In
dustria Y Fananciera in an article
today, the newspaper declaring that
the backwardness of Spanish indus
try is due to the mistaken protective
policy. Because of this policy, the
newspaper asserts the industrial and
commercial interests of Spain do not
organize themselves on a basis of
cheap production but content them
selves with asking the government to
protect them through the tariff.
The pending tariff measure, de-
clares the Revista exaggerates the
defeat of the existing measure in this
particular and would increase the
cost of living.

A LOCAL APPLICATION.

The supreme court Of Connecticut
decided last week that aliens do not
possess the right, under the United
States constitution, to attempt to al
ter the American form Of government
and for that reason are not qualified
to plead the privilege of unlimited
political discussion, comes the report.
When the constitutionality of the
state law against sedition was ques-
toned by demurrer (by alleging that
the complaint possessed no constitu-
tional charge of wrongdoing as it was
based on a law, claimed to be uncon-
stitutionaD that demurrer was over
ruled.
In other words, one who is not a
citizen Of this country has no right
to try to change it's government. It's
none of his business. Theoretically
he is not supposed to know why the
country is run as it is and therefore
is not in a position TO criticise it.
| Theoretically, his interest would not

Americans; and there are many, I'm
doubtedly, who havs the interests O.

 The PittsbIrg Nationals have a firm grasp on the pennant. If the Pirates win 20 of their remaining 39 games. New York could go into first place only by winning 26 out of 36. Pittsburg has marked edge on it's rival in both batting and pitching. Since July 30, when the two rivals were tied for first place, the Pirates have won Is games and lost five while New York won 10 and lost Is.
 With the Giants faltering Boston sees hope of capturing second place. The Braves moundsmen are not per- forming in the manner that carried the team along in mid July, but the team batting partly is offsetting this weakness Brooklyn braced when St. Louis threatened it's fourth place position. Although the Superba pitchers are doing we'll it is too late for the team to advance. Cincin- nati is doing the best of the second division teams.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The Cleve land worlds champions and their New York Yankee arrivals are stumbling along in their efforts to ut-distance each other in the American league pennant race, while Pittsburg now has little to fear from the New York Giants in the National league chase. The Indians play the Yankees this week and the Pirates visit New York. 4 double defeat suffered by the Yankees today while Cleveland was winning put the east ern team 21a games behind the worlds champions.
 Pittsburg is 611 games ahead Of New York in the National league. The American league honors should 70 to the club whose pitching staff steadies for the final spurt next month New York is out-batting Cleveland at present, but there is lit tie to choose between the pitching strength of the two teams. Wash ingon is tightening it's grip on third place by good twirling. Johnson displayed old time form last week. Erickson shut out Chicago with three hits in 13 innings Saturday and Mog- ridge whitewashed the White Sox today The White Sox acted mis- chievously with the two league lead- CTS by pushing each team in turn from its place perch.
 Boston continued its good play of
