father and then to her foster-father.

School Children Have
Eyes and Teeth Examined
Miss Charlotte Townsend, head of
the school nurses, has begun the
campaign to examine the eyes and
teeth of all schoolchildren. In the
first day's work, seven children

twelve children's teeth were cleaned

which need filling. Those whose
parents can afford it will be sent to
their family dentists. Others will

AT THE
THEATERS
AN echo of the theater managers'
fight against the increased tax
on theater admissions is found
in this note from New York:
'William A. Brady has placed in a
prominent position over the box of
fices of his two tfceaters, the Play
house and the Forty-eighth Street,
signs reading: 'This theater sells its
tickets at regular box office prices.
The new law just enacted prohibits
ticket brokers from charging over 50
cents advance on any ticket. Those
overcharging are subject to arrest
and imprisonment. The manage
ment of this theater will thank you
if you will report any violation of
the law.' Mr. Brady was one of the
managers who heartily supported
and worked for the passage of the
Williams-Kilroe ordinance, which
has just been enacted into law, and
is designed to curb all speculation
in theater tickets."
It would be interesting to know
how many seats below the 14th row
can be bought at any given time at
one of Mr. Brady's houses.
A complete change of program
greets Empress patrons today with
two feature acts headlining. "Ex
travagance is heralded as a gem
of dramatic comedy both in con
struction and presentation. The cast
includes Phyllis Gilmore, Victor
Browne and Ferdinand Tidmarsh.
The May Bell Trio, three pretty
young women, have a singing, violin
and piano offering. Nadell and
Follette introduce songs and talk of
a light comedy nature. Van and
Belle complete the program with an
exhibition of -boomerang throwing.
"Who wants to hear that high
brow stuff?" Vaudeville patrons are
likely to ask such a question, when
they hear grand opera selections;
but popular taste as well as the taste
of exacting music-lovers is pleased
this week by the singing of the dis
tinguished vocalists, Agnes Berri
and Irene Jonani, who are offering
one of the stellar acts this week at
the Orpbeum. Another lofty plane
of artistic merit is achieved by the
winsome comedienne, Grace Dunbar
Nile who is appearing in the leading
role of the one-act comedy, "Petti
coats." The double and daily perform
ances of "The Unmarried Mother" at
the. Boyd are proving very popular
this week, the really interesting play
being shown at moderate prices to
steadily increasing attendance. It is
a melodrama that frankly discusses
a topic of great importance.
While the interest of delegates to
the State Hardware Dealers' con
vention is naturally focused on the
absprbing display at the Auditorium
every morning and afternoon,
there's no denial of the fact that
their evening sessions are held at
the Gayety theater where Dan Cole
man and the Harry Hastings show
are playing to all the folks the
theater will hold twice daily. Mr.
Coleman's timely song, "After the
First of July," continues to sweep
all before it, positively stopping the
show at every performance. Ladies'
matinee daily at 2:15.
Steinwender is Named
Administrator to Japanese
Paul Steinwender, messenger in
the comity attorney's office, is tak
ing an unwonted interest in the
Japanese language on account ot
his appointment as administrator of
the affairs of Cee Nagatani, Japan
ese packing house worker, who died
in a local hospital.
In the personal effects of the, de
ceased is a letter from his son, who
is in Japan, stating that he is lonely.
Nagatani had an account in a San
Francisco bank ond owned Liberty
bonds.

labor and business will have to sac
rifice something for the common
welfare."
In speaking of state affairs, the
governor said: "The same general
principles that bring successful re
sults in your business, or in private
business, should be applied to the
administration of the state's affairs."

of the association, spoke on
"Methods of Bookkeeping and Con

tem of handling accounts was shown
