elusive something.
If analysed, it is a combination Of
qualities that have not recently been

rebellion against the interpretive

they lie buried between the lines of

from authentic or complete.

wealth of romance and drama lying
at their own feet, waiting to be as

1t is the purpose of the Writer'S

worthy of the high standards set
by the Chicago Company. and both
-"Namil1o San," by Aldo Franch-
ETH, and "A Light From St. Agnes"

Of widely different musical compost
ton and character, have more than
fulfilled the expectations Of their
respective composers and audi
ences.
Resurrection" given for the
first time in America, on New
Years Eve with Mary Garden in
the leading role, followed closely on
these. Besides attracting a large
audience the work, which is based
on Tolstois famous book Of the
same name, was received favorably,
indicating future demands for it's
temperance. All these may safely
be regarded as having established a
permanent place in the repertoire
Of the company.
The current week will be brought
to a close Saturday night Jan. p

owed our country by Europe, or twice
what it costs to run the government.
In any one year we spend ten times
as much for crime as we spend on
highways. Reducing crime ene-halt
would in five years wipe out the ma
tional debt, costing each inhabitant
$50 a year. The Chicago crime COM
mission says that city has $4,000
crooks and criminals costing the city
$4,000 pear apiece.
What is the remedy? Is it play
or work? Does any nation spend
more money on college and high
school sports like baseball and foot
ball than ours? Do the children Of
any country play more and work less
than our children? A genius pro-
poses spending millions in every
state on more Fairgrounds for the
children.
What is more conductive to crime
among growing generation Of boys
and young men than idleness and
spending money they never earned :!
Nebraska is considering a depart
ment of higher education to relate

union high school has for more than
half its boys working, learning trades
as we'll as making their grades.
Is il not time to asl/our schools
whether industrial education Of our
youth is not the solution of the prob
lem? Are not habits Of industry and
earning money before you spend It,
good way to reduce the national

the context of this bulletin.
The relation of venereal disease to
industry and its yearly cost which runs
into thousands Of dollars is discussed
by Dir David Iittleiohn Director of
the State Bureau of Venereal Disease,
who points out not only the loss Of

and recommends that physical ex-

The enforcement of the Injunction

the last Legislature is explained by
Dr. w. H. McI.ain, health officer of
Wheeling and Ohio County.
Miss Ada Coddington, Assistant hi
rector of the State VenereaI Disease
Bureau, emphasizes the need of social
workers to follow up the more than
