ARE THE STARS FADING?
The opening of the present theatri
cal season is accompanied by the
proclamation of a new principle. For
20 years or more the star has been
the idol of the public and the god of
managers. Mighty was the wage of
this divinity. The star system seemed
permanent. But last season was one ot
the most trying that theater managers
have ever weathered. Scarcely one
has not curtailed his enterprises, says
the New York Sun. Theatrical invest
ment is on a much less extensive
scale than it was 12 months ago. Ex
treme conservatism marks the busi
ness this fall. Managers are search
ing for suggestions as to the best
means of putting their affairs on a
solid basis. One result of this inves
tigation is the assertion that it would
probably be much better for the the
aters if there were fewer stars or
none at all. The reasons for this de
cision seem sound, at all events sound
er to reasonable laymen than the
causes of the sudden promotion of
every blue-eyed ingenue to the rank
of a star. Managers have decided
that the theatrical celebrity they
make holds them afterward in tyran
nical grasp. They must eventually
accede to all the conditions these play
ers may impose.. Thus by deliberately
creating a star they are raising up a
force that will eventually be inimical
to them.
Grindell Matthews, a young Eng
lish engineer, is believed by his friends
to be on the verge of giving to the
world a wireless telephone with which
conversations may be carried on
across the Atlantic. It may not be
come public, as the British govern
ment may seek to acquire the sole
right to it, preserving the secret, and
retaining it for use in war. All that
is known concerning the apparatus is
that it is in a box so small that one
may easily carry it about Instru
ments may be tuned so that they will
transmit only to others tuned in the
same key. A man might telephone to
his wife while she is out shopping.
Tests have been made in which the
interposition of brick and iron walls
was shown to be no barrier. Nothing
seems too wonderful in the way of in
vention —especially where electricity
is concerned; so nobody will be great

fulfills its promise.
The New York populace is apt to

When the letter is not dropped en
tirely it becomes “oi,” as in "got!’’
for girl, or “wolld” for world. What
is being done in our public schools
to correct this bad habit and others
equally bad? The Cockney language
is not a thing of beauty or a delight
to the ear, but positively we are de
veloping an argot here that is much
worse; a monstrous, hybrid form of
speech, devoid at once of grace and;
music. Let our school commission?

ASKS BIGGER NAVY
TAFT AFTER REVIEWING FLEET
IN NEW YORK HARBOR CALLS
FOR MORE SHIPS.
ONE SEAMAN LOSES HIS LIFE
Only Incident to Mar Mighty Pageant
of Marine Fighting Forces Is
Drowning of Man From Battleship
New Jersey.
New York. —Fresh from his cross
continent tour of 13,000 miles, Presi
dent Taft, from the wind-swept bridge
of the historic little cruiser yacht
Mayflower, reviewed the mightiest
line of fighting craft ever assembled
under the American flag.
Standing on the bridge of the May
flower, anchored off Twenty-third
street, the president braved a 60-mile
gale to receive the homage of 22 great
steel-clad leviathans steaming down
the river along the shore of New York
city.
As the line of ninety-nine ships of
war swept past the Mayflower, on
which stood Mr. Taft, and boomed the
presidential salute of twenty-one guns,
the three tiers of men manning the
port rail were in rigid salute. As the
New Jersey, seventeenth vessel in
line, swept by everyone on the presi
dent’s yacht uncovered in silent re
spect to the memory of Gustave Frey,
able seaman, who had lost his life
only an hour before. The seaman lost
his footing 1 while assisting at the star
board gangway of the New Jersey and
plunged into the raging river. For an
hour the vast armada was held up
while boats from various ships made
a vain search for the unfortunate
sailor.
After reviewing the fleet the presi
dent left for Hot Springs, Va.
Before his departure the president
iscued the following statement:
“Those who saw the fighting fleet
which was assembled in New York
harbor could not fail to be struck with
its preparedness and with its high mil
itary efficiency and must have been
proud of its personnel.
“The demonstration has had an edu
cational value in arousing pariotism,
increasing the general knowledge of
and interest in the navy, illlustrating
the ability to mobilize on short notice
and showing the skill of the officers,
who turned the whole fleet in the nar
row river and sent it to sea at the
rate of 14 knots an hour. '
“I am more than ever convinced of
the desirability of conferring upon
the commanding officer of our fleet the
title of admiral, or at least of vice-ad
miral. At present the ranking officer
is rear admiral and this title is not
commensurate with the importance
of the fleet At the review of the Ger
man fleet at Kiel, a smaller number
of ships were under the command of
a full admiral; two squadrons were
commanded by vice-admirals, and each
of four divisions was commanded by
a rear admiral.”
Chinese Manila Is Burned.
Manila. —The Chinese district was

RED.
It’s the Red Blood Corpuscles That
Proper Food Makes.
An Ohio woman says Grape-Nuts
food gave her good red blood and re
stored the roses of youth to a com
plexion that had been muddy and
blotchy. She says:
"For 10 years I had stomach trouble
which produced a breaking out on my
face. The doctors gave it a long Latin
name, but their medicines failed to
euro it. Along with this I had fre
quent headaches, nervousness and us
ually pain in my stomach after meals.
“I got disgusted with the drug?,
stopped them and coffee off short, and
quit eating everything but fruit and
Grape-Nuts, with Postum for my table
beverage.
“The headaches, stomach trouble,
and nervous weakness disappeared al
most like magic, which showed that
when the cause was removed and
good food and drink used nature was
ready to help.
“My blood was purified and my com
plexion became like a young girl’s,
while my weight was increased from
90 to 120 pounds in a few months—
good, solid firm flesh, where it used
to be soft and flabby.
“I recommended Grape-Nuts and
Postum to one of my friends, who was
afflicted as I had been. She followed
my advice and in a short time was re
stored to complete health and in about
8 months her weight increased from
100 to 148 pounds.
“Our doctor, observing the effect of
Grape-Nuts and Postum in our cases,
declared, the other day, that he would
hereafter prescribe these food prod
ucts for gastritis.” Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
