THE ALCAZAR
Madame Petrova is at the Alcazar
Tuesday in "Extravagance,” a Metro
pictures in five acts.
' Extravagance. - ' Mme. Petrova's of
fering on the Metro program, teaches
a mighty lesson. In the guise of a
fascinating story, one of the most
interesting in which the noted star has
ever appeared, it is a powerful preach
ment against the greatest sin of the
. age, extravagance, living beyond one’s
means. The story is one of the
strongest that has ever come from the
pen of that gifted writer, Aaron Hoff
man. Wallace C. Clifton adapted it
for the screen, and it was directed by
that able member of the Popular Plays
and Players forces, Burton L. King,
who was also responsible for the direc
tion of ''The Eternal Question.” “The
Spell of the Yukon.” and "The Devil at
His Elbow.”
“Extravagance” gives a tint of the
life of a motion picture studio. In it
a scenario becomes a photoplay; the
actors go through their parts before
the camera, under the guidance of the
director, and the completed product is
finished on the screen. The effect is
unique.

To the kind friends who so tenderly
assisted us and manifested their sym
pathies in the bereavement at the loss
of our dear one. Mary, Taylor, we have
the sincerest appreciation and heart

THE REGULATION OF
WAGES BY STATE OR
CITY IS NEW PLAN
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Nov. 27.
State or municipal regulation of wages,
hours and conditions of employment of
public utility employes, was discussed
in a report presented to the Na
tional Municipal League convention by
Delos F. Wilcox, chairman of the Com
mittee on Franchises, who was for
several years chief of the Bureau of
Franchises of the New York State Pub
lic Service Commission for the first
district.
The interest of the public in the con
tinuity of operation of public utilities
is sufficient, says the report, to war
rant the employment of legal measur
es to prevent strikes, especially on
street railway and telephone systems,
but the committee recognizes that the
right to strike cannot be taken away
from such employees, until the public
in some way guarantees that the em
ployees’ interests as to wages, hours
of labor and conditions of work will
be conserved.
Discussing the right of corporations
tc earn a fair return, the committee
points out that in most cases public
.utility services are worth more than
the consumers have to pay for them,
and that the public might well afford
to pay higher rates, if revenues at ex
isting rates wWe insufficient to afford
the employee a living wage and the
corporation a living income.
The committee was in favor of in
serting certain general clauses in
franchise grants, not determining
specific schedules of wages and hours,
but establishing a definite method ofr
the settlement of labor disputes as they
may arise.
The report continues:
"The committee does not favor the
principle of fixing wages and hours of
labor in specific cases by legislative
act without investigation. Legislation,
like franchise contracts, should con
cern itself primarily with the estab
lishment of general principles and the
creation of means for the amicable
settlement of specific disputes as they
arise. The committee feels some doubt
as to the particular character of the
tribunal upon which should be confer
red the authority to settle these dis
putes. but in view of the control al-1
ready exercised by the public service
commissions over rates, a matter that
i< vitally connected with the problem
ot wages, hours and conditions of la
bor. it reaches the conclusion that ex
perimentally the far-reaching powers
necessary to enforce the demands of
the public for continuity of service by;
the prevention of strikes should be
conferred upon these regulatory com
missions.”
Besides Dr. Wilcox, the signers of
the report are Prof. William H. Leis
erson. head of the public service bur-,
eau of Toledo University; Robert Treat
Paine, of Boston; Dr. Horatio M. Poi- (
lock. Albany; Charles Richardson, of
Philadelphia; and Clinton Rogers
Woodruff, also of Philadelphia, who for
more than twenty years has been sec
retary of the National Municipal
League.
MEMBERS TO BE PAID EXTRA
FOR SITTINGS ATTENDED
THE HAGUE. Netherlands. Nov. 27.
—To prevent irregular attendance in
the Second Chamber of the Dutch
Parliament the Prine Ministe •, M'
( ort van der Linden, has brought for
vard the proposal that members shall
be i aid an extra fee of $2 for eve’y
sitting they attend. He proposes also
that the yearly salary of members
shall be raised from SBOO to $1,200,'
with right f. pension.
According to the Dutch constitution,'
:iot only the Chamber debarred from ■
utking any decision unless more than
half its members are present, but it'
may not even deliberate. The absen-i
teeism” has not only sometimes pre
• ented parliamentary sittings opening
at the appointed hour, but has even oc
asionally entirely stopped the Cham
jer from proceeding with its business. •

NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE’
TO PROGRESS SLOWLY
PEKING, Nov. 27. Negotiations be
tween China and Russia for the adjust
ment of the outbreak in Sinkiang prov
ince, or Turkestan, which resulted in
the killing of four hundred Moham-i
medians by Russian nomads, are pro
gressing slowly. Russian officials,
charge that German agents in Sinkiang
province stirred up the feeling against
Chinese Mohammedans, which resulted;
in the murders. Consequently the
Russians are more firmly than ever
aligned with the English in their ef
fort to induce China to expel Germans ;
and Join the Allies. France is also'
making efforts to have China enter the ■
war, while Japan, of all the Entente i
Powers, is holding out against this ’
movement.
The Chinese foreign office has in
structed Liu Jen-chin, the Chinese
minister at Petrograd, to confer with
the Russian foreign office and ask for
a settlement of the Sinkiang province
trouble upon condition that the nom
adic huzzaks responsible for the mur
der of Chinese citizens shall be pun
ished; that payment be made to ths'
families of the murdered Mohammed-,
ans; that officers responsible for keep !
ing order in the troubled district be
reprimanded; that the Sino-Russo
agreement concerning these nomads be ;
revised in such away that Russia I
shall limit their visits to Chinese ter
ritory and supervise them more care
fully.
“SUGAR CARDS’ NOW ISSUED
BY SWEDISH AUTHORITIES
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Nov. 27.
Starting Nov. 1, it was decided no
sugar may be sold in Sweden except
upon presentation of a sugar card. A
stock-taking throughout the kingdom
has shown that some methods of con
trolling the consumption is unavoid
able, and the card system, patterned
on Germany’s methods of regulation,
was decided on. One kilogram (2.2
pounds) will be allowed per month per
capita, except for December, when two
kilograms will be available.
The sugar shortage has been marked
for some months, and has lately as- !
sumed serious proportions. It had I
been hoped and expected, however.;
that this fall's sugar-beet harvest'
would make any state regulations ot |
consumption unnecessary, but it has
now been found that, including this
year's production, there will be avail
able only about thirteen kilograms per ,
person from now until November, 1,
1917.
A further result of sugar shortage
may be a forced reduction in the pro •
duction of arrac punch, the so-called!
national drink of the Swedes. Fully a
million kilograms are used for punch
making yearly. The drinker who con
sumes three half bottles weekly—a ■
rather moderate consumption for a ;
punch-drinker—consumes therein as
much sugar as his sugar-card entitles ’
him to buy at the grocer’s.

MORE ABOUT
VASSAR
UNION SUITS
They really are ‘ different” in three important ways
that are vital to your comfort.
They are full fashioned garments—knit to fit the
form—not cut, so they fit like a glove—yet give
with every movement of the body.
The cuffs and anklets are knit on— not sewed on
—this does away with irritating seams
Every garment is put through a shrinking process,
so that once a fit, always a fit.
For these reasons we claim Vassar Union Suits are
the most perfect fitting made.
Put on a suit of Vassar and you will appreciate
what these “different” points mean to your com
fort.
