never saw him of stage, but It makes
me blue to know that he is dead.

RITICS, from those with the
long earrings and high
pointed heels down to the
heavyweightS of the funny
column, have long been landing
their wallops right and left, until
the cub reporter assigned to the
dramatic department has been
made to tremble in his shoes
wondering what is likely to hap
pen to his stipend if he doesn't
stir up something new and cheer
full in the theater, no matter what
may be the trend of the times
The world seems to have been
fighting over sex, marriage,
morals and manners until they
are even reincarnating Shake

cause we have never done them
right before. AS proof of this
Andrew Leigh, fresh from dear OF
Lunnon, is over here to school
Jane Cowl in the art. Why, even
the book writers, in their philo-
sophie and descriptive wander
ingS, have landed a savage upper
cut-and the poor old stage,
which has borne everything from
the condemnation of the church
to the encroachment of the movie,
has been the butt of it all. Some
one has said that all things mortal
have an end. Why isn't the ad-
vent of the New Year a time
suspicious to help the dear old
theater out of the mire and on to
solid ground. not with further
lambaSting, but as the savant
would say, conStructively. The
beautiful song says "all things
come home at eventide." Why may
not the eventide of 1880 be time
to start the run of the pure, the
beautiful, the good, back to the
theater and thus clear the way to
a grand, glorious and really happy
New Year? Will not some one
make the motion?
AS an humble suggestion and
with nothing sinister in the back
ground, why may we not ask the
movie not to perpetuate upon the
talking screen any WickedneSS
that may have previously cropped
out on the stage? Why not ask
good Mr.. VIII H. Hays to assist in
this because Mr. Hays, really. has
had good church training and, in
deed, some one has said that in his
eventful career he has even sat as
a deacon in church. And why
bringing the uplift a little nearer
home, may we all of us not include
in our New Year resolutions the
firm resolve never, never to
patronize wicked play or per-
Torrance. Perhaps some of us
will have to be enlightened as to
what may be a wicked play. But
to make the solution of the diff
Guilty as easy as possible, let us
and each Of US undertake to de-
eide for ourselves Just what we
think is wicked play, just what
we think is unwholesome, sugges-

 Standard Oil Holdings

New York, July 14-P-Mrs. fortune of s12,000,0O0 accumulated from a s1 100000 trust fund created for her by the late Henry NJ. Flag Ter when he divorced her in 1901 on the grounds of incurable insani- ty.
 She died Saturday of cerebral hemorrhage in her private cottage on the grounds of a sanitarium at Central Valley, N. Y. and was buried yesterday in Cypress Hills cemetery. Brooklyn. She was at the sanitarium when Flagler obtained divorce in Florida under a special act of the legislature, as the state statutes did not recognize insanity as a cause for divorce. The mar riage was in 1883.
 The trust fund consisted largely of Standard Oil securities, dividends from which multiplied the original sum 12-fold. Flagler was one of the founders of Standard Oil.
 The principal heirs are two nephews, George ". Taylor and William W. Taylor and a grand niece, Ruth E. Taylor of Pasco, Wash.
 Flagler, who in addition to his oil interests was the builder and owner of the Florida East Coast railway, married again. After his death in 1913 his widow married Robert W. Bingham, publisher of

Rangoon, Burma, July fl Pl- Searching parties penetrating the southern Burmese jungle today hop ed to find Eric Hook, British air. man, left dying last week by a bud dy, Jimmie Matthews, who stum- bled on, he said, to find help for both of them.
 Little hope was held for the suc- cess Of the quest. Matthews him. self, bruised from the crash of their England to Australia airplane ten days ago and worn out by his sub sequent march to civilization, dis couraged any hope. The jungle where he left Hook is known for it's predatory wild beasts.

 Both were injured in the crash, but Hook much the more severely. Matthews said that in the next few days as they tried to reach civiliza- ton he was forced often to carry Hook on his back. Finally beset by hunger, thirst. and the damp dismal malarial country through which they passed, it was decided it would be better for Matthews to go on alone and seek help, even though Hook were left to die.
 Matthews said Hook was in 9 dying condition when finally he left him. After wandering some time Matthews was found by a group of village hunters who fed him, and took him 10 Prone.
