. A A capacity house was that which greeted tho performance of "A Case of Suspension" last night at the Elm.
 press Theater. when . galaxy oi local talent appeared in . musical and dramatic production whose gen
 aral excellence brought forth rounds
 of delighted aplause. Preceded by an overture rendered by the Cordova Band. the curtain went up promptly at 8 8so'clock for the first and musi. cal half of the program. Appearing in two group numbers of three
 songs each, double quartette com.
 posed of Mesdames Liebe, Hubbert Hazelet and Harwood. and Messrs.

Dear During an intermission in which the stage was set for the dramatic pro- duction of the evening, the band played selections from "Fantana," ," after which the curtain rose on the second half of the program.
 "A Case of Suspension" turned out to be a complication of circum- stances in which a sub-rosa college feed is spied upon by an overly in quisitive member of the Faculty, whose curiosity gets him into a predicament which threatens to leave him hanging in jeopardy from col lege window. Joined by feminine member of the Faculty, also in clined to be ''nosey," the two are made to participate in the festivities of the co-eds, thus becoming part ners in guilt, which, 1t is agreed, must be kept secret for the safety of all concerned. The one-act skit was alive with funny situations, and many of the cleverest lines were swallowed up in the laughter with which the audience roared out It's appreciation. A culminating musical note was lent to the second half of the entertainment in the serenade of the festive party by students be- heath the college window, in which the double quartette again gave evi- dence of it's ability to render excel lent music. The entertainment was in every respect gratifyingly pro digious success.

CHANGING TIMES.

If there should be an official inyes- tigation started today as to the reason for the high price of silk hats for men, there would be a popular cry against it. People would feel, and quite properly so, that legislators might have more important business on their hands than bothering with the price of something that, at least, is a luxury Of interest only to the rich--or those who wished to appear wealthy or who wanted to put on Jugs
 If someone had suggested not so many years ago, an investigation in-
 to the reasons for the increases in the price of gasoline similar cry
 would have been raised. It would have been said that our officials were interesting themselves in something
 which affected the wealthy, for the most part-those milionaires who could afford to drive about in horse
 less carriages, laughing at the honest
 man who was obliged to work hard
 for his living.
 Today | vast percentage of the peo- pie of the country are intensely in-
 terested in the price of gasoline. It is 1 used for propelIing machines used in

 work the hardest in giving them per
 haps the greatest enjoyment they have. The general use of cars. and the altered attitude of the people re- garding them. alters the peoples viewpoint and makes an investiga ton
 of the price Of gasoline, such as that 1 called for by the resolution just in- troduced in the Senate, a matter of general interest. Let people who do not make allowances for the changes brought by the changing times con sider this one evidence Of them and apply the principle to their point of

DREAD.

Every time people in this city read of accidents at railroad crossings many of them are surprised to note that the particular accident described happened at some place other than Clayton crossing.
 People are waiting, dreading, news of another disaster at that point It has become an obsession with many. Attempt after attempt has been made to take steps that would result in failed. Positively it may be stated that it is only question of time when the next accident will happen there. Another accident will come. Nothing is being done to prevent that accident.
 There is to be council meeting Wednesday evening of this week. Mayor Paonessa will read his mes- sage. Some further action should be taken to rouse the public utilities commission, in whose hands the power lies, to compel the making of this crossing safe. It is humanly pos sible to do this. Let it be done before the words Fatal Accident at Clay ton Crossing are again read.
