ADJUSTMENTS
Columbia.

If laughter be music-and what Is more
musical than a merry laugh then the
Columbia Players last evening were not
only playing, but actually Facing the
Music throughout the entire evening.
One OF the reasons is that Henry Darn
ley's farce is genuinely funny, and to see
it is to laugh. 1t affor IS ample opportu-
nifty for every player who has part frt
mixing up and then unraveling its mys-
terry to create mirth on his or her own
account. Another reason why the play
ers faced the music the entire evening
was the good nature and hearty recipro-
cation of another OF those capacity
audiences for which the Columbia sum-
mer season is noted.
Columbia patrons have learned that
whatever they go to see by these players
is going to be well played. If IL be q
''heart-racker," they come to shed tears
of sympathy: IL it be love story. even
the oldest of them gets young again and
shows throughout the play that he or she
is still susceptible to the touching points
of Cupids arrows. And IL, as last night.
it be a farce. they knor- they are going
to laugh and come prepared to deliver
up the goods without more ado. !.
To tell the plot of a farce is to waste
time and spoil the enjoyment OF those
who want to see it. Those who 60 to see
Facing the Music" will find. in good
time what ii is, and they may rest as
sured they will be heartily amused.
1t would not seem right to omit mention
of the players who furnish the entertain
ment, but il is not necessary to say, be-
cause all who have seen them know, that
each one was good, very good: and that
includes A. III. Van Buren, Stanley James,
Everett Butterfield. Frances Nelson Eme-
lie Melville, Carrie Thatcher, John M.
Kline, Jessie Glendinning. and, of course,
George w. Barber, whose role OF the
theorizing detective is a material factor
in furnishing the fun.

ToRPEDOES TO STAY.
Dirigible Type Satisfactory to Navy
Department, Officials Declare.

While the reports OF the experts who
have been watching the operations of the
batleships and torpedo destroyers and
submarines in the neishborhood Of Prov
incetown have not yet reached the Navy
Department. the officials of the division
II material do not hesitate to declare that
there Is not the slightest probability of
The abandonment Of the use OF dirigible
toroedoes IN naval warfare as a result of
what has developed. They insist that
the torpedo has been greatly improved
in recent years. not only in the matter of
speed ard range, but also in accuracy of
direction. 1t is true that in rare instances
the automatic steering gear of the tor
pedoes has blocked itself. causing the
weapon to take an erratic course. but
through the use Of a small gyroscope
contained within the shell it IS generally
possible to hold the torpedo on very
accurate course. 1t is assumed that.
owing to the fact that the range OF use
of the weapon has been extended from
800 yards to nearly 1000 there will be
more misses of the target. but even If one
out of four or five torpedoes finds its
mark the experts will be entirely salts
fed.

BIRDMAN SCARES HORSE;
RUNAWAY is THE RESULT
First Accident of the Kind Record.
ed in the History Of
Aeronautics.

Aeroplanes are getting common enough
now to scare horses on the public
thoroughfares. The first accident of
this sort. so far recorded, was when
John Gavin. sixty-five years old, of
1905 18th street. was thrown from his
buggy and severely injured in Potomac
Park yesterday. the horse being fright
ened at the noise OF an aeroplane that
was ascending from the field.
Gavin and his wife were both in the
buggy. Mrs. Gavin had her arm frac-
tured and Mr.. Gavin was cut about the
head. They were removed to the
Emergency Hospital
1t is possible that this accident may
result In some regulation governing the
landing of aeroplanes within the city
limits. or 1t may be that horses will
have to get used to the noise of aero
planes. as they had to get used to the
noise and appearance Of automobiles.
The same problem has been faced
abroad. and now the most Of the for
eign aero clubs have made rules
against aeroplanes flying over densely
populated districts. so that they are
prevented from coming into cities at all.
