Army of Workmen Employed
in Building Exhibition
Palaces.
San Francisco, Sept. 20. An army of
laborers Is working a transformation in
the grounds of the Panama' Pacific In
ternational Exposition and In view of
the progress that Is being made in the
construction of the exhibition palaces,
it is certain that the buildings will be
completed several months in advance of
the opening of the great fair.
One of the most Interesting' pieces of
construction work now going on is in
Machinery hall. The huge structure Is
croBsed each, way by a series of lofty
naves, 126' feet high while the height
of the building from the floor to the
roof Is 136 feet. The ornamentation is
being placed on the exterior of Ma
chinery hall.' It consists in a eemenj
like composition called Imitation
Travertine stone. It is a faint ivory
yellow In color, several shades removed
from white, and at a distance presents
the appearance of white. In the brilliant
sunlight this shade will not be as glar
ing upon the eyes as pure white is,
Fleets of steamers are unloading lum

discharge cargoes at ona time.

VIOLA ALLEN DOESN'T
LIKE MILITANCY-PLAN
OF THE SUFFRAGISTS
American Actres? Lauds the
Cause," but Deplores Law
less Methods of Some,
New York, 8ept. 20. Viola Allen, ac
tress and suffragist, has been giving in
terviewers her impressions of the mili
tant campaign In England, from which
embattled country she recently returned.
(She talks long and ably, and here is a
portion of what she says.
"Since my return from Europe the
questions oftenest asked me have been
"What do they say in England of the
votes for women movement?' or "What
are they going to do about the suffra
gists?' Curiously enough, there ap
pears to be much more agitation in
America over the tactics of the militants
than in England, for during my stay
there a few weeks ago I never heard tho
matter discussed or even alluded to. The
newspapers report what occurs in this
connection when necessary merely as
news items, and discuss the destruction
of property, and other outrages with
little or no comment.
Government Ignores Inu,
"The policy of the' English govern
ment from the beginning has .been to
Ignore the question of equal suffrage
entirely, and it looks as if there might
be a generally preconcerted plan on the
part of the newspapers and all others
opposed to It to avoid any recognition
of its importance. But it seems to me
they reckon without their host, as
whatever may be said for or against
the votes for women agitation, the fact
remains that it Is a very real and vital
issue in the world today.
"The difficulty is that as yet the
women who want suffrage are in the
minority. And why? Because by far
the larger percentage of women are
shielded, guarded and treated with gen
tle consideration by their male relatives
and the world in general. It is mostly
the women bereft of natural protectors,
perhaps left with large property respon
sibilities, or those forced to work
equally as hard as men in the struggle
for a livelihood, who find the man-made
laws unequal for both sexes, and realize
the importance of representation. That
there are abuses in need of correction in
politics and institutions, in schools and
factories and prisons cannot be doubted,
but that these and other -necessary re
forms will be brought about by equal
How to Keep Face
Young and Attractive
to be
suffrage is an affirmation yet
proven.
Conditions Vastly Different.
"It Is impossible for us In America to
have the faintest sympathy or even
patience with the hysterical lawless
ness resorted to In England, and the
suffering inflicted on innocent persons
is doubtless making many enemies for
the cause of universal suffrage. But In
fairness be it said that the conditions
there are vastly different, and the mili
tant and aggressive attitude of the suf
fragist haa been largely. If not entirely,
the logical outcome of circumstances.
As I understand it, the question of equal
suffrage was presented to tho House of
Commons -in the proper form and man
ner prescribed by law, and was treated
With utmost contempt, and all subse
quent efforts to bring the subject be
fore the house were carefully ignored.
Mass meetings and gatherings, though
orderly and peaceable in themselves,
were ridiculed by mobs and roughly dis
persed by the police, and I was told
while in England last May that the lead
ers and speakers when arrested were
thrown Indiscriminately Into Jail, and
treated no better than hardened crimi
nals. Suffragists Buffer Knob.
"The Englishman, under ordinary cir
cumstances, is an absolutely engaging
person, but deep rootea in nis nature
is a rigid, hard-and-fast notion as to
the groove in life a woman should oc
cupy, which doubtless accounts for the
vigorous measures taken from the start
against the suffragists. But 'Hell hath
no fury like a woman scorned,' and
though we, on this side of the water,
can find no excuse for the throwing of
bombs, burning of property, or destruc
tion of mall, we must yet be fair enough
to acknowledge that the reason, how
ever unjustifiable, lays in the fact that
in England women have not the same
chance of either making an appeal or
of having It seriously considered as we
have in America.
"That the suffragists themselves have
suffered terribly, and are willing to en
dure to the end for the cause in which
they are fighting, must also be allowed,
but the pity of it is that in the mind of
the world at large they are putting
themselves Irretrievably in that very
category that all their struggle is to
avoid, viz., 'Idiots and insane' and even
the harsher appellation, 'criminals.' " .

The way to ward off old age Is not to
fear it, not to allow one's self to be op
pressed by the dread of advancing years.
Use only legitimate preventives and
avoid trying experiments with prepara
tions not , indorsed by physicians. An
entirely safe and very effective, way to
keep the complexion young-looking and
beautif ul is to apply ordinary mercollsed
wax at bedtime, using It like cold cream,
washing it off In the morning. This
gradually absorbs the withered, faded
cuticle, which Is replaced by the more
youthful, pink-tinted underskirt. . One
ounce of this wax, to be had at any drug
store, is enough to completely rejuven
ate a worn-out complexion.
Crow's feet - and - other' w rinkles, the
first signs of advancing age, may be re

Edwin P. Kohl, . a student of the
University of Wisconsin, has Just sailed
for Europe with his automobile for a
trip around the world. Starting from
Madison, "Wis., some Weeks ago, he com
pleted the Journey to New York. . There
he tried In vain to find another young
man to accompany him on the trip. He
could get. no one to go, so he left alone;

The tidal wave of red light melodrama
that threatened to engulf Broadway and
seli the American drama bodily into
white slavery has died a-bornln'. The
brothel play Is not within the law in
New York, and no more will madames
and cadets stalk the boards in Manhat
tan. The polio put the. ban on "The
Lure" and "The Fight." and the Shu
berts and the Henry B. Harris estate,
respective producers, withdrew the obr
Jecticnable productions without a con
test; but they did not escape so easily.
Magistrate McAdoo issued warrants for
Lee Shubert and William Harris, and
the matter is now in the hands of the
grand Jury. Purists said that both
plays, the second acts of which were
laid In disorderly resorts, were unfit for
women to see, and Commissioner Waldo
sent police censors to see them. The
police officials and Magistrate McAdoo
condemned both plays unreservedly.
The suppression of these two plays
has upset the plans of almost every
Broadway manager, for It was an open
secret that a veritable avalanche of
lurid dramas were In preparation, some
of them going ejren further than "The
Lure" and "The Fight," the settings,
lines and actors of which left little to
the imagination of the audience.
FALL SEASON IS NOW
LOOKING PROMISING
New York, Sept. 20. The 1913-18H
season, as far as can be Judged at this
early stage, looks promising. The fall
openings took place in the hottest
weather- of the summer, as Christmas
magazines are put together In JuiTe, but
the weather seemed to make no differ
ence to the crowds that Jammed every
first night. The infant season has been
brilliant, and already many real suc
cesses have been scored, while the bones
of but few actual failures are bleaching
along the Great Wlrite Way. David Be
lasco, among the first managers to start
the season, scored an even greater hit
with his "A Temperamental Journey"
than with his "Years of Discretion" last
season. "The Family Cupboard" also
has been given the stamp of approval.
They may be said to be the best dramas
of the early season. William Collier
scored a comedy hit In "Who's Who,"
by Richard Harding Davis; and among
the comedies "Potash & Perlmutter,"
"Nearly Married" and "Her Own Money"
are doing good business. "Adele,"
Christie McDonald, in "Sweethearts,"
and De Wolf Hopper in "Lleber Augus
tln" are among the best of the musical
shows. Old favorites still running from
last season are "Within the Law." with
Jane Cowl; Laurette Taylor, In "Peg O'
My Heart," and Julia Sanderson In
"The Sunshine Girl."

NEW CITY DIRECTORY FOR
MANHATTAN AND BRONX
New York, Sept. 20. The new city
directory for the boroughs of Manhattan
and the Bronx has Just been issued. It
Is a quite respectably huge volume,
containing about 680,000 names against
569,000 in last year's Issue. Of course,
the number of. names contained in the
directory does' not give the slightest
hint as to the number. ,fpersons living
In these two bor6nghs.v' In the first
place the directory contains many thou
sand names of persons not actually liv
ing in Manhattan and ' the Bronx, but
merely working there.- Furthermore, it
must T4' taken Into consideration that
only tho names of grown up persons are
enumerated. Figuring that each name
represents on the average a family of
four tho names in the latest directory
would represent a population of about
2,000,000.
The population in Manhattan is very
unevenly distributed. In some districts
the population per acre is quite insig
nificant, while other districts, like those
on the lower east side, are tremendously
congested. The most congested, block
In New York city is on the east
side of Manhattan, south of
the Williamsburg bridge. It Is said to
contain 5000 persons. A count made by
a charity society recently showed that
in 123 Manhattan blocks there were
312,000 persons, more than the total
population of either Jersey City, Louis
ville, Kansas City, Providence, Roches
ter, St. Paul or Indianapolis.
French Inventor Discovers "F
Ray" by Which Mines May
Be Exploded by Wireless,
Child Chokes to Death.
London, Sept. 20. A verdict of "death
by misadventure" was returned at an
inquest at Preston on a 4-days-old child
named Armstead. The evidence showed
that when the child cried the mother
held a caramel to its Hps. The child
sucked the -caramel, which slipped Into
its throat.
By William Philip Simms.
(United Presi foaied Wlre.t
Paris, Sept. 20. A strange new force,
called the F-Ray, by means of which a
battleship may be blown to atoms by
wireless from great distances, is be
ing tested by the French War depart
ment Actual trial has proved the suc
cess of the invention, mines, moored In
the open sea for experimental purposes,
having been fired at a distance of 14
miles.
Greatest secrecy is being observed
and by order of the naval officials un
authorized persons are not permitted
to come within hailing distance of the
"Lady Henrlette," the yacht aboard
which M. Ullvi, the Corsican engineer
inventor, is carrying on his experiments.
Enough has been learned, however, to
Justify the belief here among army and
navy officers, that "by the use of the
new F-Ray warfare in the future may
be made so horrible that there will be
no wars, else battles, both on land and
sea, must be foVight out on entirely new
lines.
Almost unbelievable power Is attrib
uted to the uncanny force. Mines
moored in a harbbr, cartridges in the
belts of soldiers, powder in arsenals,
explosives In torpedoes, etc., can be set
off by it In short, any explosive con
tained in a receptacle which permits
meiai to come in contact wiin it, is at
its mercy.
The principle of the F-Ray is based
upon ether-vibration as a color pro
ducer. The violet rays have the high
est number of vibrations, the red the
lowest These rays and all between
them, are visible as colors. But there
are invisible rays above, or ultra-violet
rays, and Invisible rays beneath the
red, or Infrared rays, and it Is this
Infra-red which produces the destruc
tive quality which Ullvl calls the F-
T.. ryv. I ! l i ..... .... . , .
. viniuio rm.ya run iruin violet
to red, or from 750 billion vibrations
to 400 billions, the invisible ultra-violet '
rays go as high as 1,500 billion vibra
tions, the infra-red as low as 300 bil
lions. And Just as science has already
proved that the ultra-violet rays kill
microbes, or may cause the death f
experimenters (X-ray experimentors for
example) so is the infra-rouge ray more
terrible still.
The "Lady Henrlette" has Just re
turned to the harbor at Havre, having
on board General de Castelnau, of the
general staff (War College), Monnan
dant Ferrle, In charge of the Eiffel
Tower Wireless station, and Captain
Cloltre, representing the Minister of the
Navy. And in spite of strict orders, the
information haa leaked out that the
yacht,, equipped with a tiny wireless
apparatus, after proceeding -some 40
miles to sea, succeeded in' firing several
mines, with marvellous precision at the
distance of 14 miles. ,
