in two minutes after somebody in tbe
rinnt ro'v had couceivod thr plan of
applauding at the wrong time every?
body in the theater took it up. and
after that the amuscment was general.
It was contagious, like community
stnging, but it took the people some
time to arrive at this irnpo'ite stage.
They waited long and palicntly for the
picture to make good on some of the
promises which had been made for
it first.

Mistress of the World is ko big that
she ought to be able to relievc Atlas
at his job without minding it, and she
had a Chinese champion who rcscued
her from a fate worse than death, when
he was s0 fraii that she could havo
carried him away under her arm. In
fact, this Mia May ought to be great
in the title role when some one deeides
to write a play called "The Statue of
Liberty."
The picture nriginally was in four
teen parts. and has been eut to four,
which may account for the big gaps
held together by long titles and the
amaTing veloeity with which people get
in and cut of predicamentf.
As far as we are concerned. they
could show all fourteen episodes and
we should revel in them if they were
as funny as the one we saw this week.
The picture was made by some foreign
company known as the U. F. A. They
probably meant it as a joke and sent
it over here to test our s. o. h.
Another amusing feature on the pro?
gram is Buster Keaton's comedy "Thf>
Boat." Don't miss tbis one. It is

Boston Women Srnokers Accused
Of Aping 'SiUy New Yorkers'
W ann Debate Staged in State House on Proposed Ban
and Legislator Is Warned That if Back Bay Set
Desires to Puff in Public No Law Will Stop lt
Ppccial Dispat, h tn '/ ...- r, b g
BOSTON, March 6. There was a hot
hirht at the State ll?us,. tl, ,).,, ?..,.,
I^prcsentative Shulman's bill propos
i"g to prevent women smoking io pub?
lic by a $100 fine for every hotel pro
pnetor who permits women to smoke
on hig premises. The hearing room
waa scarcely large enough, to hold all
those desirinu to participate in the de?
bate The proponents of the measure
nsisted that women smoked in public
just to attract attention, that college
girls smoked more than working girls
tnat smoking among women caused
familv rows, that. it undermined wom?
en s morals, impaircd their health, lad
to ririnktng an.l immorality, and that,
the sight oi women smoking had a bad
eftect on th" morals of children.
ihe opponents maintained tiiat. if it
was bad for women to smoke it was
bad for men as well; that it was not a
matter for legislation, but rather for
the Church, and that such prohibition
on srnokin;.' would tend to increase the
habit.
Although there were. a number of
women at the hearing. only one nar
ticipated in the debate. and she was for
the measure. The "'her women were
content to listen --* the men fought
ovot t he meril = of the bill.
^'l Carl Schcffel, of Brookline.
spcal. ing for the bill, said:

WASHINGTON, March fi. Redue?
tion in the freight rates on petroleum
' and petroleum products from tho Hurk
burnctt and Ranger fields in Texas to
points in the Mississippi Valley and
; mid-contincnt arcas were ordered to
day by the Intcrstatc Commerce Com
j mission.
The commission in its decision re
I fused to granl the claims of the oil
' producers for identical rates out of the
; two fields and left the general rate
structure showing Ranger rates slight
lv above the Bunkburnett rates.
Another railroad rate case, that
j brought by the State of Texas against
the Interstate Commerce Commission
', and others, wns decided to-day by the
| Supreme Court, the bill being dis
missed on the grounds that it. had not
been propcrly brought. T'ne proceed
[ ings were instituted in the Supreme
: Court, as an original case. and th"
court held that all suits to set. aside.
.anna! or suspend orders of the Inter
j state Commerce Commission must be
| brought in the district courts nnd the
I United States made n defendant.
Doclaring (ha: the bill disclosed
If the women are in favor of suf-:
"rage, let them Buffer, bul don't let
them smoke."
"A handful of Boston society women, !
aping tho modes <>f their Billy New]
York sisters, are solely n-.-ponsible for j
the Bmoking habit which now threatens
to undermine the morala >.nd health of
the young women here, Mr. Shulman
deciared.
"Girls of liftecti aie smoking in pub- ?
li'' in some of the tea rooms of this.
city. The women are smokinf* not be?
cause they like it, but because it haa
become a fad; because :t i3 'the thing
to do'; because it is '.'imart.' Thc
habit is vile, vulfjar and dirty. Some
women .smoke for the purpose of at
tracting attention. All immoral wom?
en smoke. lt has been the cause of
many family rows."
N7Is J. Kjellatrow, representing the
Personal Liberty League, opposed the i
bill, asserting the proposed law was
unnecessary as "no Jcccnt woman
smokes."
"Why always pick on the hotels,"
said \V. W. Davis, representing- the i
Hotel Men's Association, in opposniK
the bill. "Why, whenever there is a '
desire to reform things, do the re?
formers feel called upon to pick on
the hotels? Why not, make a law or
dering policerhen to arrest all women
seen smoking?"
Tne committee will bring up the bill
at the next session of the Legislature.
"insuperable obstacles to our enter
taining it on any ground," Justice Van
Devantcr, who delivered t!ie unanimons
opinion of the coui-t. directed atten
tion to the fact that many of thei
questions which Texas soufjht to adju- '
dicate had been disposcd of a week ago
in the Wisconsin and New York case i
decided by thc Supreme Court.
I rio Classique Pleases
Second <,oncert Provcs Varied
and Mainly Good
I he Trio Classique of New York -
Celia Schiller, piano; Maurice Kauf
man, violin, nnd John Mundy. 'cello -
gave its second concert yesterday eve?
ning at Aeolian Hall, beginning with a
trio in E flat rnajor by Volkmar
Andreae. This, on the whole, was
atrieeably orthodox in form and con?
struction; the opening allegro was
built on two definite, recoj-nir.able and
not unmelodiou8 themes suggesting in
themselves and in their development,
Ccsar Kranci: or D'Indy, but with a
tendency to discords and chromatic in?
tervals. The ensuing somber adagio
was relieved by a lipht, delicate presto
with n lively, pleasant danco tune, fol?
lowed by a vigorously rhythmic finale
which ended with the original first
theme.
The Bcethoven D Major Trio, Op. 70,
N'o. 1, proved a welcoine contrast. Its
performance was satisfactory, with a
notrtble decree of expression and re
linernent in the andnnte. Mr. Mundy's
tone had bresdth and smoothness, while
Mr. Kaufman's was rather dry, and
Miss Schlller constantly subordinated
the piano part. Modernism returned In
, Frank Bridire'i- ('. minor Phantasie, a
: lyric, rather rambling andant.e inter
. rupted by a brief allegro, which, wit.h
| thc; other numbers, was warmly re
i reived by a good-sized audience.
