The Storage of Life The National Conservation Congress met in Washington Tuesday last. This conference received less press notice than the slightest details of one of Harry Thaw's mad escapades, yet was convened for the sole purpose of seriously considering the greatest single problem now confronting the Federal administration. The life of this generation and of all future generations if stored up in the continent's natural resources. If a hundred persons were cast by shipwreck on a remote island the question of food would at once become paramount. The company's supply would be strictly limited, yet the company itself

wold increase by geometric ratio. If such person: were wise they would surely use every precaution to garner the least portions of that which is as preoious as life itself. And they would need the combined wisdom of the whole group to solve the world's greatest paradox how to make limited resources supply the needs of an ever increasing number of consumers. The people of the United States (and the whole world besides) are in just this boat. Babies keep coming. And so far as we can see they always will and in geometric ratio. But the resources of necessaries with which to feed this ever increasing human stream are as strictly limited as the resources in any bank. The problem confronting the Nation's forces for conservation is how to make these limited resources hold out against an unlimited demand. This means that the effort to preserve nature's provisions is at bottom the effort to protect and conserve civilization itself. A people in hunger will always be a people in barbarism. And a people without the material means for preserving the institutions and implements of civilization will lapse into the hard condition from which we have lifted ourselves at an inconceivable cost. The most urgent and immediate question before the forces for conservation is monopoly. Coal, soil, minerals, water power, forests, and fertility agents are almost entirely in the control of a relatively small group of monopolists who exploit their holdings with no thought of economy but with every thought of immediate personal gain. Human greed which has an opportunity to vent itself through these persons will, if left unchecked, sacrifice the lives and welfare of all future generations for its own immediate aggrandizement.

yet devised. It has noted the failure of an official censor, it has learned of the futility of trying to persuade the manager to be good, and it has found efforts to reform the players of no avail, so it has set about reforming the audience. That is very wise because a manager is under pressure of the economic imperative and must play to full houses or to none at all. And he has found that salacious and indecent plays draw the biggest houses so he has proceeded to supply the market with that which it demands. Now if we can get people to stay away from

bad shows, the Drama League argues, and can get them to patronize good shows, we shall have turned the trick and made good plays more profitable than bad. So they are organizing Drama League Centers (one was started in Indianapolis recently) to foster good drama. And condemn bad? No. The louder a play is condemned the more persons does a morbid curiosity send to see it. They simply remain silent about the shady plays and boost the good. A board of capable persons in Chicago attend the first nights of each new play, pass on it, and if it is up to grade, send a circular letter to each Center recommending the same. The members of the Center attend recommended performances and stay away from the others. In that way they are making it worth while for a manager to offer first-class production. This is reforming the theatre through the box-office. And a box-office is a

theatre's most vital part.

The Drama League . The theatre can't be eliminated. History teaches no more indubitable lesson. Every effort yet made to stamp it out of existence has

been foiled. Out of the ashes of its ruins the drama always rises, phoenix-like, to new life. Greece built the first play houses and produced the first great dramatists. When Rome over ran Greece her theatre went to pieces. But later on, Rome herself built the circus, her own form of the stage. When that had grown corrupt, the Christian church destroyed it and declared forever against plays. But gradually out of the ritualism of the church itself arose the medieval drama which ultimated in Shakespeare. Then came the Puritans with their hatred of amusements and attempted to smash that, but to no avail. Today the descendants of the Puritans are still making an effort to abolish the theater, but will never succeed. They have not learned history's lesson. A stage answers to something elemental in man, a need that seems to have been woven ijito the warp and woof of his existence. In this year of grace, 1913, it holds its place among the mightiest engines of public influence. But like all elemental influences it must be kept under constant surveillance and restriction. Just because the theatre is so influential its destructive influences are the more to be feared when once it has taken the bit into its own mouth. William Winter, who gives way to nobody when it comes to first-hand knowledge of the contemporary drama argues we have given it too much rein. Indecent and salacious plays tread on each other's heels so swiftly do they issue from the playwright's hands. And indecent and salacious plays are bad, not because they conflict with the conventional moral code, but because they strike at the roots of life and civilization. But because there are bad plays one is no more justified in destroying the theatre than Savonarola was justified in destroying Florence's art because he found bad pictures. The play must be censored. But not by a governmental functionary. Heaven save the mark! That would indeed be a calamity. The censoring must be done by the people who attend the theater. And the Drama League of America has worked out the most practicable scheme for that

Alleys Councilman Von Pein, who recently returned from Germany, says he was impressed by the absence of alleys in the fatherland's cities. He ventured to couple Richmond's plethora of flies with the presence of our garbage lined, ash plastered, dump cluttered backyard thoroughfares. We believe he is justified in laying the blame for much of our stone age insanitation to the presence of these public nuisances that run past the back fence; undoubtedly the alley is the source of disease and crime. Alleys were invented when families kept pigs and cows on the back end of the lot. They were deviBed as a useful approach to these pens and stables whereby feed might be carted in and manure hauled out. And since pedestrians used the front street rather than the back, and since the germ origin of disease was not heard of, nobody considered that an alley should be clean. It furnished a handy dumping ground for rubbish and offal. It was easier to hide dirt in the alley than to destroy it. We must sorrowfully confess that many of our own families make this same medieval use of these narrow streets. They seem to think that an alley has no rights, that anything will go with it just because it is an alley. Therefore our alleys are breeding places for rats and mice and these creatures are the vehicles of many contagions; they are the dumping ground for garbage and flies breed in garbage; they are lined with unscreened manure boxes, another fly breeder ; and they serve as admirable hiding places for thieves and crooks. Every alley should be as well lighted as a street. It should be kept as unlittered as any boulevard. A disease breeder should be as little tolerated there as anywhere else. The city's back yard should be as well kept and as clean as

its parks and avenues.

DON'T WEAR A TRUSS ANY LOFKGIER.

After Thirty Years' Experience I Have Produced An Appliance For Me .-, Women and Children That Actually Cures Rupture.

The cynics say that every rose Is guarded by a thorn that grows To spell our posies; But I no pleasure therefore lack -I hold my hands behind my back When smelling roses. 'Tis proved that Sodom's apple tarts Have ashes as component parts For those who steal 'em; My soul no disillusion seeks; I love my apples rosy cheeks. But never peel 'em. Though outwardly a gloomy shroud, The Inner side of every cloud Is bright and shining. And so I turn my clouds about, And always wear them inside out. To show their lining. Our idols' feet are made of clay So stony hearted critics say. With scornful mockings. My images are deified. Because I keep them well supplied With shoes and stockings. My modus operandi this To take no heed for what's amiss; And not a bad one; Because, as Shakespeare used to say, "A merry heart goes twice the way That tries a sad one." Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler.

If yeu hare tried most everything else, come to ma. Where others fail is where I bare my greatest success. Saad attached coupon today and I will send you free my tlhntrated book on Rupture and Its cure, allowing my Appliance and giving you prices and names of many people who have tried It and were cared. It is Instant relief wbea aU ether fail. Remember, I use no sala, bo harness, no lies. I send en trial to prove what I say Is true. Toa are the judge and once having, seen my iUastrated book and read it you will be as enthusiastic as my hundreds of pat!entswhose letters yon can also read.
