Early in December. q hearing on the
railroads proposal was conducted 1T
Bismarck, with representatives Of
Grand Forks, Fargo, jamestown and
Minot opposing the change in rates.
Representatives Of railroads operating
IN North Dakota practically COM
pleted their case, after which repre-
sentatives Of the four cities asked for
en- extension Of time to prepare en-
answer to the railroads request.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion ordered q new scale Of rates
which became effective Dec. 3. The
railroads seek to institute q similar
scale Of rates on class freight moving
within North Dakota.
It IS estimated by the state COM
mission that the change Of rates
would have the effect Of increasing
class rates within the state from 10
to 80 per cent.
The hearings to be conducted by
the state commission are on the COM
misson's own motion for q investiga-
ton Of interstate class freight rates
and on application Of the railroad for
increased rates.

UPON YOUNG Minds
Letter Dealing With Bismarck
Included in Widely Used

Advantages Of Bismarck will be i'm
pressed upon the minds Of more than
a million young men and women in
the next few years, 1t was announced
Friday by H. p. Goddard. secretary Of

ed States and Canada In the near fu-
ture.
Only Dozen Represented
Only about q dozen cities are repre-
sented by such letters In the manual,
and Bismarck Is the only city in the
Northwest to receive such recogni-
ton.
Goddard, when he wrote the letter,
was unaware Of its purpose. It Is used
as an object lesson, to be typed by
college students, in the Walton Mac
lean Typewriting Procedure and Prac-
tice, published by the Walton PUBLISH
ing company, Chicago. firm which
supplies books to schools and colleges
all over the English-speaking world.
The body of the letter follows:

part of the state, on the east bank Of

bismarck is the distributing center
and retail trading point for an area
of country extending practically 100
miles in every direction.

and establish q home, few cities of the
west offer as many opportunities and
advantages"

New Faces Seen
in Roster Of
Company

When the eighth spring and
summer season of the National
Theater Players opened last night
a friendly house of capacity
proportions greeted the popular
Cochran acting troupe.
The opening play is "The
Church Mouse" brittle comedy
adapted from the Hungarian of
Ladislaus Fodor by Frederick and
Fanny Hatton, light and farcical
in mood and insofar as it's
limited cast permits, a congenial
drama to present the new and
seasoned thespians directed by
Clifford Brooke.
Familiar Story
This is the story of cotton
stockings and severe business
garb which promotes efficiency
in a bankers counting room but
is almost fatal in the creation of
feminine allure. It is the story
of the secretary who wins the
boss by adapting some of the
technique of siren and she'd
ding habilmentS which are less
than striking as gay adornment.
The theme is familiar and equally
sure fire in appeal I suspect it
may have had a set of lyrics IN
its VienneSe form for it seems
to possess the structure upon
which tunes could be fitted
smoothly.
First night interest focused on
Donald Woods, new leading man,
cast in the role of Viennese bank
er with a penchant for hiring
and firing secretaries. What criti-
cal eyes saw was a No. / actor
who has all the physical qualities
for matinee popularity, looks, fig
ure, poiSe and the facility for
wearing clothes attractively. His
part was tongue-in-the-cheek bust
nesSman, never taken quite seri-
ouSly by author or audience. In
a role created by and for laughter
Mr.. Woods served well.
Pretty Ingenu"
The new ingenue, Ona MunSon,
comes with musical comedy and
screen experience and brings a
blonde lovelineSs to the char
acterization of fair philanderer.
She was not as wicked perhaps
as the continental playwright in
tended, but she was fully, as al
Turing in her vampire methods
as her continental prototype.

emily in the mode to attract at

Cochran troupe presents Owen
Davis, jr., with two dimples that
will be the talk of E Street before
many matinees have elapsed. For
rest Orr and Raymond Barmley

are among the most dependable
standbys of the local acting fam
lily and contributed last night
support that was always up to

There is more than the legend
on Broadway that when William
A. Brady produced "A Church
Mouse" at his Playhouse he was
obliged to deal with pronounced
case of professional jealousy. The
story has it that Ruth Gordon
with her certain manneriSmS and
Bert Lytell with his matinee
charm both regarded themselves
as stars of the play. So they com
promised by speaking only when
the lines of the play demanded it.
This particular case of foot
light pique made it impractical for
Producer Brady to tour with "A
Church Mouse" so after the New
York run was ended the play be-
came Immediately available for
the stock companies. Another
reason why "a Church Mouse"
was the early choice for the royalty
performances was the fact that
Warner Brothers have already
made the play into a picture. The
film version is called Beauty and

featured.

Sweet Actress
In Promising
New Play

In George Kelly's lamented
Phillip Goes Forth" of a season
or two back, there was pene-
trating account of a wispy poetess
who could see beauty in hall
room rug and God knows what in
a primrose on the rivers bank. II
was sublime Characterization,
not alone as an attitude, but be-
cause it bordered on lunacy and
could have embraced buffoonery
in the care of one not gifted with
the insight of nuance and balance.
Dorothy Stickney handled this
captivating pretense so admirably
that we are sure all who remem-
Der it will this week attend the
Belasco Theater where, in a new
play, Another Language, the ca
pable Miss Stickney is again on
view.
Albeit in a less commanding role
and beset by the plebian attributes
of housewifery, she is the same
fragile figure with the hypnotic
eyes, the shyness and effacement
of Mae Marsh in her heyday.
There is also Glen Anders, not
unknown here for a robust type
of leading man. And others, all
in a conglomerate photograph of
the Hallam family and their obeis-
ance to the Hallam family as an
institution and the devil take the

department, will give stricter APP

He's Resting Well

"Your story about the
hospital visit" writes Hugh
Wedlock, jr., reminds me of an
incident that happened to me a
short time ago. I learned by
that experience that no matter
how distasteful a hospital visit
may be, you must really turn
up in person if you wish to
know the condition of a friend.
"a pal of mine once found a
job (and I'm not kidding
either) in a hospital. 1t was
as an elevator operator, but the
pay was fairly decent, even
though the hours were a little
long. My friend liked it, how
ever, and that was all that
mattered.
I wanted to invite him to a
party one night, so 1 phoned
him at the hospital. I gave the
operator his name, and she
told me to wait a minute. I
waited-and when the minute
was up the girl was back on
the phone.

was her amazing statement.
