Grace and John have parted without
an understanding. The man has declined
terms that would make him seem to be
tray the interest Of the strikers, and sew
eral months have elapsed without a com
munication, when Grace. one night, as
she is returning from a tEeater or some
social function with her frivolous sister
in-law. stops at Stedmaus room to i'm
plore him 20 stop the strike and arrest
her own impending financial ruin. There
she meets Louise Stolbeck. a sort Of rev
0luti0nary jeanne Of Arc with a modicum
Of heart and a prodigious sentiment for
John Stedman, and out of this meeting
develops the situation just referred to-
II is here that the author lack Of tech
nicaI skill shows up the seamy sides Of
his woof and web glaringiy. Stedman is
spirited OF the scene by the old formula,
Now you see IL; now you don l." accord
ingIy as the exgency Of the situation
makes its absence imperative in order 70
give the two women their big scene At
the same time. Grace's chaperon, the
frivolous sister-in-law, is sent home In
the waiting carriage by a ruse OF Louise
too palpable for credulity, in order that
Grace may be exposed 20 the indispen-
sable compromise which attaches 10 a
young wuman's concealed presence in her
lovers apartment.
However. GraCe's telephone message
summons her naughty relatives upon the
scene. and as the leaders OF the strike
conveniently enter at that iuncture, Sted-
man brings the opposing elements Of
strife together for a discussion Of the
strike.

VIEWS AND REVIEWS

New York. Dec 1.-The big scene OF
Charles Klein's new play, The Daugh-
ters OF Men" now running at the Astor
Theater. occurs in the second act, when
Louise St0lbeck the prOletariate daughter
Of liberty and hot-heaoed child Of the
East Side. challenges Grace Crosby, the
daughter Of the aristocracy Of wealth.
both in love with John Stedman. 70 in
form her proud relatives over the tele-
phone, which she holds extended In her
hand that she is at that moment m her
lovers roOm-and Grace. in the conscious
ness of innocence. accepts the challenge
telephones her brother, word for word,
what her rival has dared her to say
thereby disconcerts Louise, and brings
her weeping and repentant 10 her feet
The play has been called a pTosy play
but it is more than talky; il is very ele-
mentary IN conception and notably def
cicnt in colorful details.
John Stedman is a young enthusiast in
the cause Of the universal brotherhood of
men. great strike has broken out, in
which labor is squarely arrayed against
apitaL Stedman becomes identified with
the intellectual leadership Of the strike.
Against him are the brothers and the
uncle Of Grace Crosby. to whom ne has
made an avowal Of love. and who has
become a half convert 10 his doctrines
by hearing him speak in public When
the play opens she admits her love for
Stedman 20 her relatives. but has not yet
given Stedman q decisive answer. He
calls al her mansion 10 press his suit is
met by her indignant relatives. scorned
by them and practically shown the door.
This Is told in a long first act, remark
able for IT'S turgid action and absence Of
effective incidents

No date has yet been set for the term
inatiOn of the run of The Hypocrites' at
the Hudson, His House in Order" in
which John Drew is starring at the Em-
pire. and "The Chorus Lady at the
Hackett. The engagement of Forbes Rob-
ertson and Gertrude Elliott has still
three weeks 10 run at the New AmsteT-
DAM and The Daughters of Men at
the Astor is booked for the next FIVE
weeks. Mrs Fiske in The New York
Idea" has made a tremendous hit. and
Margaret Anglin and Henry Miller IN
THE Great Divide are still playing to
standing room. while at the Madison
Square. Carlotta Nillson. in 'The Three
of U.s." has also scored a permanent hit.
Laura Nelson Hall acquitted herself with
marked distinction In the leading role at
last Wednesdays matinee and made the
critics take notice that another actress
has come TO town. William Gillette contin-
ues successfully at the Garrick in "Clar-
ice" in spite of some sharp stickwork by
the local recensiOnists. Eleanor Robson

Guy Standing withdraws from the cast
after a week I'm Brooklyn and joins
Lena AshwelI as leading man, to play Sir
Lionel Carteret, in Mrs Danes De-
teuse," and Manning, the English over
seer, in THE Shulamite.' After the hit
she made here in the Jones play, II was
decided to let Miss Ashwell alterante in
the two plays on tour.
The Washington herald., 1906-12-02

Odette Tyler has made a pronounced hit
in The Love Route" and the fact of the
engagement being limited is 10 reflection
on the attraction. The play opened tho
Lincoln Sqaure Theater, located on Six
ty-sixth and Broadway. and tentatively
taps a new and still undeveloped section
OF upper Broadway. At a theater down
about Forty-secOnd street It might have
played all season. Miss Tyler has proved
a genuine favOrite in the leading female
role in which her comedy has a wide
latitude She has been engaged 10 play
n summer season in St Louis at $1,000 i
week

There seems to be the same shortage
Of theaters in London that exists in New
YoTk-that is, there aren't enough thea
ters to accommodate all the shows that
are seeking TO get before the public. John
Hare has been taking an enforced rest
because Frohman couldn't find him
thcateT in London.

NOTES OF THE STAGE.

An enterprising Washingtonian has un-

Even in the Packingtown district of
Chicago natives who want TO be known

less than a renaissance has struck the
city by the lake

To Test Each Corn Ear.

The statement is made by officials of
the Department of Agriculture that
while corn breeders have achieved
marked success in the production of
improved types of corn during the last
decade, unless the farmers take better
care of their seed corr and test each
ear separately, preparatory to planting,
the chances are that the average yield
of corn per acre in Il { United States
will not be materially increased.
In our principal c~orn-growing States,
corn is planted in hills SO feet apart
each way, giving 5000 hills per acre.
In most sections three stalks to the
hill is considered a perfect stand; IN
some States, two is the standard. Yet
if each hill would produce but one
medium sized ear, 6 or I inches in
length and weighing a triie more than
8 ounces. the yield for each acre would
be 2S.S bushels. the average yield per
acre in the United States in 1905.
A single ear of corn TO the hill the
size showa as A in the Illustration
would give an average of 2S.S bushels
to the acre; a single a shown as b
would give 80 bushels per acre; an
ear such as c would produce 40
bushels per acre; an ear such
as D would yield As bushels per acre;
while an a like Il, which weighs a
trile less than a pound, would yield so
bushels of shelled corn per acre, count
ing only one such ear for each of the
3.556 hills. There are, however, very
few farmers who raise as much as so
bushels of shelled corn per acre. Yet
every corn grower can probably pro
duce many ears which are larger than
that shown as E in the cut. Eliminat-
ing. however, both ears D and e and
granting that every farmer could har-
vest from each hill two such ears as
the one shown as c, an ear which is
less than So inches long, and weighs
1875 ounces. the yield would be so
bushels of shelled corn per acre. Are

Better Now Than Not at All.

termination tests should be made
five or six weeks before planting time,
but even if it is necessary to stop the
pillow in the field, it is far more prof.
table to have a good stand of corn on
10 acres than it is to have a poor stand
on 20 acres, thereby saving the time
and labor necessary to prepare the
ground and TO plant and cultivate the
additional acre. Yet many farmers are
every year planting and cultiyating 3
or 4 acres in every 20, for which they
receive comparatively no returns .
In making the tests it is essential
that each ear tested should be given a
number and all kernels taken there
from given a corresponding number
so that after the tests the faulty ears
may be thrown out.
Many kinds of terminating boxes
and methods for testing seed corr have
been described in various publications,
but the Department Of Agriculture has
designed a simple box which is be-
lieved to combine most of the adyan-
tages, and give good results in the
hands of almost any operator. The box
would be about IL or 2 inches deep
inside and the length and width such
as to suit the needs of the individual
but it should not be made wa
ter-tight. Instead of filing the box with
sand, soil. or sawdust. as is commonly
recommended. the seed bed is made
of heavy canton flannel or similar ma

WOMAN'S ADVICE TO FARM
ERS.

Miss Edith Urmey, an Iowa hospital
specialist, states that many of the in
mates of eastern insane asylums are
sons and daughters of the farmer
pioneers. They have been brought up
TO lives of idleness and luxury or suf-
fered from m%Onotony of country sur
r~oundings. In either case the direct
cause for mental arrangement is the
lack of diversified work for body and
mind. The pioneers of the country
had no time for brooding Over imagin-
airy troubles and were happy. But
they neglected to map out the proper
courses for their children and in
treating them with kindness have
paved the way to insanity.
The cities present numerous cases
of physical and mental wrecks of
young persons brought on by dissipa-
ton and strenuosity in the battle for
commercial supremacy. Farmers
warn their sons and daughters of the
dangers that lie in their paths when
leaving the farms, but often forget to
correct the evils at home. They give
their children ali the benefits of
schools and colleges and leave out the
essential fundamental principles of
life. Too many are left to remain in
idleness because they are taught in

cover the box with a piece of glass, or
other tight material, to prevent the
evaporation of the water from the
cloths, and set the box aside for a
few days to await the results of the
test. Where only a limited number of
ears are to be tested, a similar germ
mating apparatus may be made by
using cloth between two dinner plates.
Ten inch plates will give ample space
for the testing of Is or 20 ears at one
time. 1t is important that the ears
be numbered or arranged in the same
definite order as the corresponding
tests in the terminating box. One of
the most satisfactory methods is the
use of a rack as is generally used for
drying seed corn. This is generally
a piece of 2 by 2 inch piece of pine
from which extend on all four sides
long nails, each of which is numbered.
After the kernels from the first ear
have been placed in square No. I
of the terminating box, the ear is
showed on nail No. l of the drying rack,
and so on. These racks can then be
