NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1915. B. F. GREEN & C( 250 ASYLUM STREET, HARTFORD LIVE WIRE SYSTEM GRAZE FOR REVUE | EXISTS IN LONDON Extends From Variety Theaters to ‘ Conservative Playhouses All Women Need a corrective, occasionally, to right a disordered stomach, which is the cause of so much sick headache, nervous- ! ness and sleepless nights. Quick relief from stomach troubles is assured by promptly taking a dose or two of Beecham’s Pills They act gently on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, assisting (Correspondence of the Assoclate’ Press.) and regulating these organs, and keeping them in a healthy condition. London, Dec. 21—The craze for the revue has extended variety theaters to conservative play- houses. Five of the leading West End music halls took up the revue ! early in the craze, leaving only three true to variety, and now a well-known | home of comedy, which has brought | out more successful light plays than | any other in London in recent years, has just announced a revue, making the fourth legitimate theater to go over to the revue as against the sev- enteen producing plays and musical | comedies. The revue has swept all before it in the suburban and pro- | vincial theaters. | The English revue is quite diffe ent from its French original. It lacl ~ the wit, political satire and topical | hits of the French and simply aims to amuse an audience of the tired bus iness man type. In its general scheme, it is little more than the | conventional English musical comedy | robbed of its remnants of plot and Jmade frothier than ever. Its trim- mings either come from or are mod- eled on New York. A knockabout comedian or two, a dapper actor with a good voice for sentimental songs | and a chorus of girls, who appear in | new costumes at every entry, go to | _make the current revue, Chorus Man Disappears. The chorus man has almost entire- | ly disappeared, owing to the preju- | dice against ‘*slackers” or men of | military age who are not “doing their | bit.” In one of the road companies | to appear here recently the male | chorus was composed of small boys, | dressed in the latest Piccadilly cut. But girls ordinarily take the place of “thorus men Revues apparently fill a niche of their own in wartime. Officers on a short visit from the front or just out of the hospital or away from the e@mp and soldiers on similar leave Seem to crave mental relief of this sort. They make up by far the most of the male part of the audiences. Manners are informal at the revue, and smoking is allowed, which are further attractions. = American Influences Predominate. American influences predominate in English revues. American dances, ragtime songs, slang and even a touch of twang in singing are not more not- able than the striving for rapid ac- tion, novelties and surprises in cos- tume and scene that are typical of the American concoction. The word ‘“some” in its American slang sense figures in many of tiltes of sense figures in many of the titles of these revues, and the past week = copyright infringement case was heard in court where the proprietors of the rights to “Splash me,” sued the producer of a similar revue call- ed ‘““Some Splash.” ‘Some Glee” was tife title of a revue appearing in a district theater at the time this casc was heard. APPEAL JUDGMENT OF TRIAX COURT Two Christian Scientists Sentenced to Prison for Death of Two Berlin Actresses. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Berlin, Dec. 24—Frauuun Hues D and Frau Ahrend, the two Christian | pri- | i Scientists recently sentenced to sonvfor being responsible for the death of two Berlin actresses, have appealed from the judgment of the trial court. Local legal authorities, however, predict a certain affirmation of the judgment, basing their view on opinions already handed down by the Imperial Supreme Court in simi- lar cases. In each of these the court Held that the assumption of the treat- meRt of the patient and the failure to call in a physician constitutes gross negligence, It said in one case: “The trial court found the negli- énce of the accused to-exist in the fact that he carried on the treatment :z tHe patient alone, although he 1ew the dangerous character of the | lliness and must also have at this illness required a proper eatment, and he could have fore- en ithat death might possibly be e result of his treatment. In these rcumstances the court could as: lume without error that the accused lost sight of the required care and HOW TO CLEAR - AWAY PIMPLES Bathe your face for several minutes with resinol soap and hot water, then | .ppg a little resinol ointment very gen fy.

Zurich, Switzerland, Dec. 23.—After fourteen months Vienna is beginning to Tealize the effects of the war, which hitherto had left ilttle outward mark on the life of the Austrian capital. But in the past few weeks prices of food have advanced by leaps and beunds. Coal is becoming scarcer and t_!earer, Jjust as winter is approaching. Clothing has doubled in price. And altogether the immediate outlook for moro Female Sex Engaged Now in All WOMEN TAKE PLACES OF MEN IN AUSTRIA Kinds of Work (Correspondence of tne Associated Press.s Zurich, Switzerland, Dec. 26.—With the new levy in Austria-Hungary drawing away yet many thousands more men from civil occupations, the demand for female help has been fur- ther increased. ‘Women are now not only welcomed, but eagerly sought for in various fields of industry and com- merce from which they were previ- ously sternly excluded. But at the same time they have been given to un- derstand that this is only temporary condition, and they must be prepared to make room for the men, when these come back from the field. Quite apart from the much talked of women street-car conductors, one sees the sex engaged now in all kinds of work, in factories, stores and offi- ces, everywhere. In the laboratories of great industrial plants the “Frau Doktor” is standing behind scales, and retorts, and bottles, engaged in the most intricate chemical analysis. Be- fore the war she was only admitted as an assistant, but as one after the other of her male colleagues was called to the army, she was permitted to fill their places. Work On Coal Heaps. the great masses of the population is extremely dismal. Much of thetrouble is due to the Coming into Vienna on the northern railway, hundreds of women may be seen working on the gigantic coal army having taken nine-tenths of the | strong, able-bodied laboring men from the city. Hardly any teamsters are left, and great quantities of flour, and heaps, shoveling the coal into the hoppers and performing the heaviest | kind of manual labor. Formerly everybody would have scoffed at the known | gkin humors, sores, burns, wounds | provisions, and coal are lying in the railway warehouses and yards, caus- ing a serious congestion. The situa- ton is so serious that the city coun- cil is taking steps to use the municipal street railways for bringing goods to the storekeepers in the city. Switch | tracks are being laid to the mills and | railway yards, at a cost of sixty thousand dollars. Speculators Hiding Provisions. Another cause of the present high prices of food is the manipulation of speculators, who are hiding large | stores of provisions, and so creating an artificial shortage in the markets. Immediately best fresh butter went up to $1 a pound—at which price nobody could buy more than a quar- ter of a pound at a time—large stocks suddenly came on the market rrices fell at once to a dollar. Convinced that huge stocks of food- stuffs were somewhere in existence in the city, the Vienna police have just made a thorough search of all the storage warehouses resulting in some surprising discoveries. Among the | provisions concealed in these -places, | were found hundreds of packages of | rice, flour, sugar, cheese, canned foods, chocolate, currants, tea and coffee and condensed milk. Steps are being taken to find out the owners | who will be rigorously prosecuted for | conspiring to raise the price of food. Supply Very Limited. Although the new flour is now in the market the supply in the retail bakeries is very limited. In the poorer suburbs people gather around the stores as early as 3 o’clock in the morning, and by 6 o’clock the crowd | will number anywhere from five hun- | dred to a thousand persons, mostly ; women and children. The bakeries 'open at 7 and the sign of ‘“sold out” i i generally put up before 8 o’clock. | Later comers can get nothing.

There are no more | motor cabs; the few cars still seen ure either occupied by army officers or have some connection with the war. No End to Demands. And there seems to be no end to the demands and appeals for money for various charitable and military objects. The Vienna Neue Freie Presse has started since the war be- gan, collections for more than a hun- dred different funds and have suc- ceeded in raising over a million dol- rs. The largest individual benefac- tion is ‘he Red Cross for which the Presse has collecteq $216,000. Next comes the fund for the blind soldiers, which receives $140,000. The other objects for which the paper has made collections include one for furnishing ertificial limbs for the wounded sol- ciers; for the families of reservises called to the front, and for the Aus- trian submarines, Altogether there are no less than 156 different funds idea of a female ‘“coalman’ but now nobody turns to look at her. ! Amateur women photographers | have become assistants to doctors at | X-ray work, and in electro-thera- | peutic {reatment. In Gratz special courses of instruction in photogra- phy are being given for this work. The women are taught by university professors, and receive certificates at- testing their fitness. No Longer At Home. The capable housewife no longer re- mains at home; her services have been found valauble in taking the domestic management of hospitals, and sanatoriums, and convalescent homes. If living in the country, she devotes herself to raising poultry and eggs, or fruit growing. The agricul- tural colleges are constantly increas- ing their numbers of women students. People who hitherto opposed the idea of women becoming gardners are now applying to the colleges for them. Young women have already done ex- tremely well as landscape gardners. A special school for them has recently been opened in Vienna. This problem of the effect of the entry of women into the labor mar- ket after the war, is already engaging the serious attention of the authori- ties in Austria and in Germany. Only recently the Bavarian government is- sued a public warning to women against rushing into fields of work, so far monopolized by men. They were told in plain terms, that as a matter of course they would have to give up their places to men as soon as the lat- MalieYour Skin Sorl and (lear Cuticura Soap For the toilet and bath assisted by occa~ sional use of Cuticura Ointment.

But just the same these colleges have gone on advertis- ing for pupils and promising them most lucrative engagements the end of a few weeks' course. rush of new applicants for positions continues, despite the warning of the authorities that in Bavaria, at least, the supply of women labor of grades is greater than the demand. at And the all MUSKETRY SCHOOL FOR U. S. ARMY Will Open at Fort Sill, Okla., Belore January 1 Fort Sill. Okla., Dec. 29.—The School of Musketry of the United States army—the only school of its kind in the country—will open at the reservation here shortly before the first of January. The exact date has not been .decided upon, as the new buildings which are to house the school have not vet been fully com- pleted. The school is for the training of of- ficers and non-commissioned officials of the army in directing and control- ling the fire of bodies of troops and in the systematic handling and forma- tion of troops under fire. Tndividual marksmanship is not taught. school was organized last July. Tt was located at Fort €111 because of the presence here of the School of Fire for Field Artillery, with which it co-oper- ates, and because of the topography and extent of the local reservation, which is the largest in the country. Later on, the war department intends to instill regimental schools in each post and then the institution here will be turned into a normal the training of teachers. Idea of Mass Firing. twenty vears ago. It was developed by the Germans and finally adopted musketry schools now are established in all European armies. The first investization of the pos: bilities of mass firing was made in this country seven years ago at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Captain H. E. Eames, now Assistant Commandant of the School at Fort Sill, was selected to take charge of the work. He nothing in the English langu- age on the subject. The problems and formulas which he worked out now comprise the texthbook for the army. The results of test lessons conducted under simulated war con- ditions have demonstrated -the prac- ticabllity of the theory and the need of thoroughly trained officers, accord- ing to army officials. They point out that two vears ago at the annual riffe meet at Camp Perry, O.. a company of the best civilian marksmen was formed to fire in competition with a company chosen at random from the army. The army shooters, although composed of only average individual marksmen, were commanded by an officer trained in mass firing. The ci- villans were easily defeated. Rolling Prairic.
