DART MOUTH BOYS
PLAY IS SUCCESS
Dramatic Club Warmly Re-
ceived in Presentation of
David Garrick."

Before a fashionable audience which
comfortably filled the large ballroom Of
the New Willard Hotel last night, the
Dartmouth Dramatic Club, of Dart
mouth College, Hanover, N. H, pre-
sented Tom Robertson's old English
comedy David Garrick"
1t was the first time that the Dart
mouth boys had been seen In a dramatic
production in this city, their last ap-
pearance here having been with a glee
club some years ago, but the applause
and enthusiasm of last nights audience
proved that their work was entirely
up to the standard set by the other
college dramatic organizations Of longer
experience which have been seen here
this season.
David Garrick," through its some
what bombastic lines and witty re-
marks, Is a member Of that class of
plays best described as "actor-proof,"
the lines of the principal characters
well nigh carrying themselves across
the footlights and making an impression
despite any defects In the pronunciation
or enunciation Of the actors. But Aus
tin c. Keough, 1911, who was cast as
David, last night succeeded in giving
a new turn and twist to the lines which
have become familiar through the work
of generations Of actors, and his final
speech from "Coriolanus," the famous
You common cry OF ours" at the end
Of the second, was the signal for an
outburst of genuine applause which
would not be satisfied until Mr.. Keough
had bowed several times to the insistent
audience. This young mans work in
the famous dinner scene, his lighter
moments with the two comedy "wom-
en-" and his final pathetic scene with
Ada in his rooms were all up to the
standard of his other work.
Others in the cast whose work con-
tributed to an enjoyable evenings en-
tertainment were c. B. White, '12,' as
Ada Ingot: G. E. Cellar. II, as Ariminta
Brown; C.. A. Claeyes, IA. as Mrs.
Smith; ]. r. Erwin, '12 as Squire
Chivy, and H. F. Lena, as Simon Ingot.
A dance was given the members Of
the club and the assembled guests by
the alumni Of the college after the play,
the small ballroom being decorated in
green and white in honor Of the occa-
sion.

Want Patent Court of
Last Resort Provided

Association and of the Patent Law AS
sociation, of the District of Columbia,
appeared today before a subcommittee
on the Senate Judiciary Committee,
headed by Senator Nelson, to urge the
esta blishment OF a code of patent ap-
peals to be a court of last resort In
cases of disputes over patents.
The subcommittee was told Of the
confusion in patent law arising from the
decisions in different circuits. 1t was
urged that the way to get rid OF this
would be to have a single court. A
court of five judges, to be appointed by
the President. was advocated.

STREET CAR SMASH
DOES $1I,OOO DAMAGE
Two P. A. Y. Els and Auto
mobile Almost Destroyed
in Peculiar Accident.

Two badly damaged P. A. Y. z. cars
in the barns of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company, on P street, and
| mass of wood and twisted steel, all
that is left of a valuable automobile,
lying near the car tracks at Twenty
first and P streets, were the evidence
this morning of a smash-up which tm-
perilled the lives of fifty or more pas
sengers, caused about $1,000 worth of
damage, and tied up traffic on the
Georgetown line for more than an hour
last night.
AT an early hour this morning the de-
mollshed 5000 auto, the property of
Richard A. Harlow, had not been re-
moved from the scene of the collision.
and hundreds of persons on their way
to work stopped to inspect 1t. The
street cars were taken last night TO
the barns, where, it is said, they are
so badly damaged it will be some time
before they can be made ready for serv-
ice.
Narrow Escape.
Persons who witnessed the accident
say it was a marvel that no one was
seriously hurt. Enrich R. Johnson,
the chauffeur, and Joseph Ottoach, a
butler at the Harlow home, who was
in the machine with him, today show
ed but few evidences OF the expert
ence through which they passed.
Johnson was pinned under the wreck
age, and, after being lifted out, was
taken to Emergency Hospital, where,
it was found he had been only bruis-
ed.
a,.k@
panic, when both cars which struck
the machine caught fire from the ex-
plosion of the gasolene tank.
While they made a mad rush to es-
cape through the rear door, no one
was injured. An alarm OF fire was
turned in, and 1t took the firemen
twenty minutes to extinguish the
wreckage.
Chauffeur's Story.
According TO johnson, he was driving
south on Twenty-first street when he
noticed a westbound Georgetown car.
He failed to see the approaching east
bound car Midway across the tracks
the auto was caught between the two
cars.
Ottoach was thrown some distance,
but Johnson was held in the wreck
age. The fronts of both cars were
smashed. ]. w. Warren, motorman on
the westbound car, and Henry Shields,
motorman on the eastbound car, both
say there is no way in which they could
have avoided the accident
The machine was an imported one
and, it is understood, the loss is covered
by insurance. The damage to the street
cars. it is estimated, will amount to
about 5000.

National Banks Feel
Closing But Slightly

Beyond a slight furry, national banks
will not be affected by the closing of
the Carnegie Trust Company, according
to Deputy Comptroller of the Currency
Kane. who stated today that the brunt
of the blow would probably fall on New
York State banks.
Being State institution, most of the
business of the Carnegie Trust was
probably done with State banks" de-
clared Kane. "one or two national
banks may he affected but their loss
should, in the nature of things, he

be expected on the part of New York

are in national banks should feel safe"

American Foods Lead.

Every official report upon the markets
OF the European countries which are
the most prosperous and best fed of
the Old World states confirms the i'm
preston that American travellers get OF
short national bills of fare, when they
go abroad. 1t is not difference in
the quantity of food eaten, but of the
comparatively narrow choice, of vege
tables and fruits especially, which the
average householder in Europe has un
der ordinary circumstances, says Ben
jamin Kari in Cleveland Inland Grocer
and Butcher.
Few eatables known and priced in Eu
rope are wanting in America, but many
things familiar here are lacking there
Americans notice the difference wheI
they go abroad, and Europeans who
come to the United States to live are
soon conscious of the greater variety
of food within their reach here.
England, for example, the country
which spends more for food in proper
tion to it's population than any othel
state in Europe, gets along with scarcely
a taste of green corn and hardly any
thing is known of sweet potatoes. Their,
are practically no watermelons AMI
muskmelons are a costly luxury grown
in lighthouses or else imported from
Spain or Italy.
Americans miss cranberries in the fal

full to receive any kind Of food which

CAKES are ripe at home. They miss
the buckwheat cakes, likewise, Ice
cream and ice cream saltwater are fast

they are still comparatively rare.
There are striking differences in
fruits England has nothing to CORE

commemorate cheaper in England than
they are in this country, but hardly as
cheap as California grapes are in their
season, and there are no grapes for
those who cannot afford to pay more
than the common grapes of America
bring in September, October and No
vember, in American cities and towns.
The contrast is more marked in
peaches. In England they are costly
luxury, never sold at anything like the
common prices in the United States or
In any such quantities. Rich men own
ing large grounds often grow them un-
der glass or trained against sunny

titles in Great Britain than they were
until within the last few years, but a
recent official report places the price of
that fine fruit at from so cents to $1.45
apiece, for good pineapples, the highest
figures being reached about Christmas
Through the winter it is common fol
the market to range from 81 up to $1.2O
or even $1.30 apiece.
Oranges are used in England in large
quantities, and are as well known
throughout the United Kingdom as they
are in the United States, but the prices
are higher for fine fruit. The supply
is obtained from Spain, Italy, the West
Indies, Palestine and North Africa, and
to some extent from California. The
large seedless "navalo oranges from
that state sell at from cents up te
IL cents apiece in England and Other
parts of Europe.
This British scarcity of low-pricet
fruit, of several kinds which are com
mon and cheap in America, does mo-
apply, in like degree, to warmer coun
tries, such as Spain, Portugal and italy
| Grapes, melons and oranges are cheape
and more commonly used there. Peaches
also are more abundant and not S,
costly.
But, on the other hand, such fruit
as raspberries, Strawberries, gooseberrie
and currants are larger and finer il
England than they are in the Mediter
ranean countries. All of them are com
mon, of course, and cheap in season il
the United States.
Taking vegetables and fruits together
there is no part of the Old World wher
the supply is so varied, so generous anc
so cheap as it is in America. In cor
tain countries some fruits and som
vegetables are more plentiful and NOR
perfect than the average American
stock in an ordinary season, but Their
are shortcomings which more than off
set these points of European superior
ity.
Altogether, Uncle Sam has the mos

any country sets for its people.
