That Americans Treat Their
Wives Well.

Thirty-f1ve young women from Hol-
land stepped foot on American shores

seeking kind husbands because they
heard that American men are good. to
their wives" Some American wives
may be inclined to enjoy a silent laugh
over this innocence displayed by the
Hollanders, but after the first humor-
Gus aspect Of the situation has passed,
most Of those who have enjoyed the
comedy will be einclined to believe
after all that there is much merit In
what these foreign women say about
the husbands of America, observes
the Bangor Commercial.

the lot Of women in many countries Of
Europe, and reflects upon the limited

ACTOR NEEDS REST DAY,
SAYS TOM WISE IN TALK
Veteran Player Approves Sunday
Closing of Theaters in Bible
Glass Address.

The actor needs one day of rest just
as well as any other type of working
man, declared Tom Wise, who is about
10 complete forty years on the stage.
in an address to the mems organized
Bible classes of the city yesterday
afternoon at Calvary Baptist Church.
Mr.. Wise. who is playing in Three
Wise Fools" at the Shubert-Garrick
Theater this week, declared that the
Actors Equity Association, since It's
inception eight years ago has actively
opposed performances on the legiti-
mate stage on Sunday. He said the
Sabbath day should be set aside for
worship and recreation and that the
church should always come first.
He also declared that "it WASH
good business" to give performances
on Sunday, and illustrated this state
ment with the example that plays did
as we'll from financial standpoint
playing six days in Pittsburgh. Bos-
ION, Philadelphia and Baltimore as
they did playing seven days in wash
ington and Chicago.
Mr.. Wise closed his address with an
appeal for broad, generous applica-
ton of the spirit of Christ in the deal
ing of the church with this problem.
stating that the members of his pro-
fession stood ready to join hands in
promoting Sunday IS a day of rest.

YOUR HAND.
March Winds.

The winds of March are raw and
bleak, as they go whizzing by, they
rudely biff me, nose and check, and
smite me, hip and thigh; but in
my heart there is no pique, no tear
is in my eye. BLOW OH, We dippy
blasts, blow on" exultantly l say;
from curfew till the break of dawn
blow on and earn your pay; like
evil dreams you'll soon be gone
comes April and then May. We
would not fully realize how lovely
is the spring, with babbling rills
and azure skies and guinea hens
that sing. if you should fail to put
us wise, by having thus your fling.
Blow loud, we nutty winds, blow
loud, blow, for the love of Mike,
and strip the whiskers from the
crowd that tolls along the pike;
there comes the month that is en-
bowed with weather that we like.
And when beneath an elm or larch,
some vernal day, we snore, while
colts and lambkins, full of starch,
play on the brooklet's shore, we
will recall the winds Of March, and
love spring all the more. Blow on,
blow on, oh, dotty breeze, blow all
things galley west! Make all the
blood within us freeze, and spoil
life's joy and zest, for after woody
days like these, Spring will seem
doubly blest."

business today. The exhibit, held at
Convention Hall, 5th and X streets

Dealers expressed qualification at
the crowds which thronged the big

heavy spring business is assured IS
the opinion not only of the men VINO

well.
Many prospective owners dislike
purchasing new cars in winter. They
believe that snow and ice injuries the
paint and that when the warm
weather rolls around their new cars
will be old. Consequently. when the
first signs of spring show themselves
these potential owners begin looking
around for cars And it is but nat
hral. it is said, that they should flock
TO the annual show, where they can
feast their eyes on the many new
creations. Be that as it may, great
interest was evidenced by the many
visitors on Saturday night. and indl-
