GARLAND FLAYS OUR DRAMA

The Society OF American Dramatists and
Composers held its annual dinner at Del
monico's last night With Mrs. Minnie
Maddern Fiske as the guest Of honor. the
occasion was made one tor an attack upon
,he exploiting Of "stars' under modern
managerial methods and plea by several
OF the speakers FOR the drama for It's own
sake. Augustus Thomas, president OF the
society. presided. and the many good
things he said about Mrs. Fiske were re-
peated and enlarged upon oy the other
speakers.
Mrs. Ftske responded With a graceful
acknowi dgment OF the honor and praise
which were heaped upon her. Among the
orber kers were J. |. &. Clark, OF the
Chicago Theatre Society; Hau1lin Garland
John Luther Long, Eugene W. Presorey'
J. Lawrence Grant, Mrs. Kate Douglas
Wiggtn. Helen Ware, Elsie Ferguson ana
Claiming Pollock.
After paying a high tribute to Mrs. Fiske
Mr.. Garland launched out into severe crid-
clsm of the status Of the present so-called
American drama.
IF l were 20 speak frankly as dram
atist 20 brother dramatists 7 would say.
Re said, that our drama to-day is an utter
disgrace 70 our country. II you review The
development Of the play you will find that
the light show is the thing. The play with
real literary merit is rarity. This couu-
try Is tagging behind all the other nations
os the world IN the development OF the
drama 3Fy patriotism leads me to protest
against Il"
Continuing. Mr.. Garland said:
Il want TO see this country producing
plays on the level with the landscape gar
dening Of the country. on a level with its
sculpture and in the same plane with its
best Action I hope It will come about
within the next ten or fifteen years that
there will be at least one theatre IN every
large city where the literary prose drama
Will be welcomed and produced"
Mr.. Garland said that the day was COM
ing when the short play OF real merit
would oe more IN demand than the con-
ventionsl drama Of several acts. one act
plays. like short stories. II Of real literary
merit, would be produced oftener. he said.
Replying TO the authors criticism. Mr.
Thomas said that he intended 70 go out 10
Chicago with a compromise 20 offer, some
thing that would not be pure drama" per-

place somewhere along the way where so
many good things are
Mrs. Wlggin suggested that when the
great American drama did arrive Mrs.
Fiske should be the actress to play the
leading part
she will not ne 700 old then said Mrs
Wiggin. She IS Just as young to-day as
she was when I. rather young myself, went
without new hat IN order 10 see her play
three times IN succession
Nr. Presbrey placed the guest Of honor ar
the top notch OF fame among the women
or the American stage He said she had
always patronlzed unselhshly the young
American dramatsts, and inspired and en-
couraged them. She had done more Tor
the upllft Of the stage and the theatrical
profession than any other actress, he said.

of providing irrigation for these farms,
is not less than $4,000, 900. Compar-
ing the former selling prices of the
other lands which are included in the
Government projects but not yet irri-
gated, with the prices at which they
are now being sold, an additional in
crease in values of $30,000,00O is shown
as a result of this development.
'There is no more hopeful sign in
connection with the home-building
work Of the Government than the sur
prisingly large number of settlers who
have left the cities and towns to take
up their homes in the desert. The
reports from the field are gratifying
for the reason that a very small per-
centage of failures is shown.
Information from all sources shows
no diminution in the movement Of the
people to the West. Railroads report
that the travel has been above the

WEAK WARNING
SIGNALS
Cause of Unnecessary Stops
and Gear Changes, and a
Constant Menace to Brake
Power Endurance.

"A surprising feature of motor truck
operation is the weakness of the
warning signal usually favored. In
most cases, this Is a bulb horn OF
Feeble and indeterminate note. It is
attached to the truck at point where
the driver can grasp 1t by reaching,
and almost invariably the protector
points toward the street surface.
Just why this singular rule obtains
In the case of a vehicle frequently
representing 10000 pounds gross weight
Is difficult to understand. The ex-
pense Of stopping and starting a mo-
tor truck IL by no means slight, when
wear and tear are considered. This
pne consideration, in fact, has been
he most serious impeachment to the
general adoption of motor trucks for
all delivery purposes. The same fac
tor is also not to be ignored in tour
hing car operation. Yet in the case OF
the latter, the gradual abandonment
'pf the uncertain and weak voiced
warning singal in favor of the rauc-
bus electric signal is a fact long rea-
lied by the trade.
The motor truck is a heavy, ponder
bus vehicle, weighing even without
It's load, five to six thousand pounds,
And, with its load, frequently reach
ing five tons burden, going forward
Through the town and city streets
with less means of giving warning
|of its approach than many of the
lesser types of motor cars.
1t is difficult to check the progress
|of a motor truck at best. Indeed one
(Df the most serious problems with
which motor truck manufacturers
have to contend is the production of
Efficient brake power. Brakes on motor
trucks actually wear out, after COM
paratively short service.
J. 1t is purely common sense propo-
|sition that the motor truck should be
provided with a warning signal as eff
t7cient as that of the motor car This
ts not an expense, but an insurance
against wear and tear, as we'll as in
Jury to pedestrians.
Should motor trucks be equipped
with a signal of harsh note, the driv-
Frs would not be obliged to make near
fy the quantity of gear shifts and
stops for traffic as under present con-
|1itions- Furthermore, the degree of
progress would improve, because the
adequate signal is certain to give a
clear road.
When the menace to pedestrians Of
y five ton loaded motor truck moving
Hlong a busy street without adequate
means of giving warning of it's ap-
preach is considered, the object les
son ought to be clearly apparent.
Motor trucks are a recognized and
growing factor in the street traffic
Of the nation. Surely, their equipment
is a matter for as serious considera-
lion as that of the touring car, at
least, so far as the warning signal is
concerned.
