Columbia Theater
Cast Appearing At
Best in NeW Roles

Persons who have attended the Co
lusibia theater at any time since Ed
Hughes has taken hold Of it viii
asree that a different atmosphere has
been given to the things produced,
and that some Of tho parts have been
popped up considerably. Hughes
seems to have n knack Of discovering
versatility among the members OF his
cast and it is this which has fresh
ened the show at the theatre on
West First street.
Hughes himself is a vaudeville ar.
list of no mean ability. His control
over his voice and his fund of humor,
together with a knack OF telling a
story. gained only by many years in
the profession. makes Hughes n OF
the funniest men in Casper.
Ed Douglas is also a good addition
TO the cast, although Douglas too
often is obviously Douglas. he is still
entertaining. and at times gets a new
swing into his work.
Mss Masoner is n fair singer and
in spite OF apparent crudeness in tonne
of her acting, is applauded again and
again. With a slight restraint and
an added sense Of the artistic, Miss
NIasoner could no doubt become popu.
lar with her audience.

AMERICAS PROSPERITY
AND FOREIGN TRADE.

Americas Industrial progress is in
extricably linked with her foreign
trade and 1t Is impossible for the Unit
ed States to achieve It's prewar pros
perity by revival of domesti bust
ness alone, Dr. Henry A. E. Chandler,
economist OF the National Bank of
Commerce in New York, says.
DIR. Chandler takes Issue with those
who believe that, since foreign trade
represents not more than 10 to Is per
cent. of Americas total commerce, the
loss of part Of 1t would leave suf-
ficient percentage fthe whole to in
sure reasonable prosperity. In the
January number of the banks maya
zine, Commerce Monthly. he points
out that economic investigation
proves that even during periods of
depression, volume OF national bust
ness, after allowing for price changes,
seldom departs from normal by more
than 10 per cent, and often by smaller
percentages; and seemingly small
reduction l nthe percentage of gross
business may have great Significance
when translated into terms of net
profits and thus into final buying ca
pacity.
I'm view fthe decline in foreign
buying capacity 1t has been suggested
that we may have to reduce our out
put to conform much more nearly to
domestic demand and thus in the fu
ture prevent the accumulation of sur
pluses similar to those that have so
recently demoralized some of our
principal markets." he continues.
Undoubtedly such reduction can
be effected in part and indeed, to some
extent, has already been done, but as
a practical movement upon large
scale 1t is beset with great difficulties.
"If. for example, we lose only per
cent. of our total national business
through the reduction in our foreign
trade it does not mean that each in
dustry loses only per cent. The rel
alive importance of foreign trade va
ries widely as between different in
dustries. In some the proportion of
foreign to total trade is insignificant
while In others It is as high as one
third or nearly one-half 1t is posi-
BILE therefore, that a reduction in for
eign trade, amounting to no more than
s per cent. of our total trade, may so
effectively cripple some of our basic
industries as to wipe out all profits

u MIGRANTS MUST
BE REASONABLY
CLEAN COMING HERE
L. ). Public Health Service Insists
That All Coming to Our Shores
From Abroad Must Be
Clean.

Although, says the L. S. Public
Health Service, when typhus and
plagu subside in Europe las they must
eventually the menace of the vermin-
Gearing immigrant will practically
disappear, still the Public Health
Service will continue to insist that
jewellers to this country must be rea-
sonably clean when they embark, re-
,ardless of any infection to which
hey are known to have been exposed.
The louise is, of course, quite as
ommon in some quarters of the
arger American cities as it is in the
european slums; and it is dangerous
My when it has become infected
'hich it can be only by biting an in
eeted person and absorbing his germ
aden bluood. If all the typhus pa
tents for instance, in this country
IRE promptly removed and kept away
from lousy surroundings, they cannot
communicate the disease and it will
'reedily die out. This explains why
ven the "a cases of typhus that oc-
;urred in New York City in 1911 did
not cause an epidemic in spite of the
verminous condition of many of the
New York slum districts.
Nevertheless, insists the Public
Health Service, greater personal
cleanliness should, as matter of ord
mary decency and healthfulness, be
required from immigrants; and no
return should be allowed to the condi-
tons that prevailed for many years
before the war, when very many immi-
grants from central Europe arrived in
an inexcusably dirty condition, many
Of them infected with vermin. Even
though in those days they did not
bring epidemic diseases, they did
bring many minor Affections, created
disease centers, and flooded parts of
many cities with vermin.
At present, what with the reduc-
