From the World Today.
Could a more picturesque stage setting
be imagined for Shakespearean produc.
ton than a grove of stately pines on the
shores of the Mediterranean with the Le-
banon range. rising to height Of several
thousand feet, as the distant back

Such was the actual setting for the al
fresco production of "As You Like It.
given last spring on the beautiful cam
pus of the Syrian Protestant College. al

interest," of the performance lay perhaps
in the cosmopolitan character of the
cast, in the difficulties that had to be en-
countered by the actors and in the fact
that it was the first play of the kind ever
given in that ancient country.

REDUCTION OF
RAILWAY RATES
important Decision of Inter-
state Commerce Commits,
sion in Creamery Case.

Washington. Jan. z5.-One of the most
important decisions by the interstate
commerce commission for many months
was handed down today, that body order
ing material reduction Of railroad rates
in the cases of various creamery com
panies against the Illinois Central and
other railroad companies.
The commission sustained the cOuten-
ton Of the compliments, who operate
creameries. using the centralizeT method.
that the rates on cream to Chicago be
tween Mihcigan points on the east and
Colorado points on the west. are excss-
sive. The centralizer method Is distin-
guished from the local method in that
creamaries operating under the latter OBJ
tain their cream by wagon instead Of by
rail.
Several associations claimed that the
local creamery method Of manufacturing
butter should be fostered and the central
izer method discouraged. The commits
sion, however. held that the centralizer
method affords to thousands Of farmers
the only satisfactory method of disposing
of their milk and that the commission s
duty is to establish just transportation
charges I'm so far as it can be done and
allow both systems to operate under the
charges The commission held that It
should not establish a scale of rates with
the purpose of fostering or discOuraging
either form of the creamery industry
