That women are a "brainless set" as far as riding on the street cars gbes, was the declaration of Edmund Trowbridge Dana, grandson of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, social economic investigator, Harvard Student and retired street car conductor, in an addess before the Boston School of Social Science.

Dana said: 'VWhen it comes to riding on street cars the women are the stupidest things imaginable. When you're trying to make up time they are always in the majority and always blundering. Why, they don't seem to have any brains at all. "I was somewhat of a Socialist when I started tp work, but 1 was more thoroughly one when I stopped work on the road. "Up to that time I had never done a stroke of work in my life, aside from a bit of athletics at college.

I was surprised to note how tired 1 was when my worK was done. Jt was entirely different from football and sprinting.

(Adv.) THE THEATRES Ilipiiodrome. Jfot ii. years has a plAy beeti preSfehtad In America With greater Success than Charles Klein's "The Third Descree," because it is full of the vigor, and freshness of the "here aha now," and the way it is being presented at the Hippodrome every afternoon and evening this week by tho well known Ualsmlth Players ig especially noteworthy. The spirit of the original manuscript, wnicn was produced by a wonderful company in New York two seasons ago, is preserved entirely by these players, and it marks a successful begin ning of the season of stock productions. When this play Was first produced it was a revelation to the majority of theatregoers, since they knew not how the other half of the people lived and were dealt with.

Few people in any commu nlty were unaware that behind prison walls were people serving long terms for crimes never committed: They had con fessed and newspapers were free with the confession. At the trial the prisoner sWore he remembered nothing, but in the face of circumstantial evidence and a confes slon of the actual crime, he was convicted. Convicted of a crime never commit' ted. This underlying theme formed a basis for. the, strongest piece of American Ura matic literature ever written about the methods of the police departments.

Pew people were acquainted with "third decree'' methods. Few knew that confes sions of crimes were unjustly forced from victims, whose mental capacities were deficient. With this singular theme. Mr. Klein built arfiund a story with universally appealing interest, that has 'made for him a great name and a greater fortune.

The first act of this play, which is in two scenes, and in which the methods of the police "third degree" are exposed, has been truthfully proclaimed the most nearly perfect acti from a technical standpoint, ever written by an American dramatist. interwoven ahout the story of the crime and confession is a love story filled with the best thoughts that could be Imagined. The Cslsmith Players are eminently fitted for the work laid out for theni tins production. It requires the best character work to give it its proper Interpretation, and it is that which It has received from these plaj'ers. Miss Leilah Hallack.
