Health Laws Too rax.

Too little attention. l fear, is given
to the d~isinfection Of houses in Amer
lea after infectious diseases have visit
ed homes" remarked DR.. Hans HON.
merl. professor of hygiene at the Uni
versity of Gratz and public health Of
ficer of Gratz. Austria.
:"Of curse, l am aware that YOUR
health regulations require that houses
be disinfected wherever infectious or
contagious disease has been, but in
many European countries the people
make a practice of d%isinfecting their
homes every year. whether the occu-
pants have been suffering from dis
ease or not. 1t does no harm to give
a house. a thorough overhauling once
a year. The best method Of disinfect-
Ing / have found is by the use OF
formalin gas. This has been found
very effective in Gratz and other large
cities. "Gratz has a population of
10000. and is one of the best located
cities in Europe, being in the Alps,
1000 feet above the sea, with a Won
derfully healthful climate. The air is
rare and health giving. and the per
centage Of mortality is low. Pulmon-
airy diseases are i%nfrequent, though. of
course. we I'VE some cases of tuber-
culosis. Our health regulations pre-
scribe that splitting shall not be per
mitted in coaches and train cars, but
We have found 1t impossible to pro-
hibit splitting in the streets"

On and Off the Stage

i. (By George A. Benson.)

In commenting on the construction
of Bought and Paid Fer" in this
column several days ago. 1t was stated
that the climax came at the end Of
the seconl act. with a secondary CHI
max in the third. But since Witness
assertion has arisen. Broadhurst,
himself, says that he took liberties
with the climax scene and placed it
in the second act, instead OF in the
third-the logical place for u a
scene In the four-oct drama.
AS was stated in the review Of the
play yesterday. Ibsen would have
ended il with the third act. had he
been the author. In that case, the
climax would undoubtedly have come
ut the end Of the second act. But Ib-
sen did not pen 1t, and We have to
determine whether the scene In the
second or the third act is the climax.
Of course. an authors declaration
regarding his own writing must have
some weight. But when there Is such
a doubt. the playgoer will have to de-
eide for himself.
Technically. the end of the climax
marks the beginning of the falling
action. In Bought inc Paid For.'
the falling action does not really be-
gin until the fourth act. In this case.
We must say the scene at the end Of
the third act is the climax.
But there is argument on the au-
thor's side. He says the climax is at
the end of the second act. When he
made this statement. Broadhurst UNI
doubtedly had in mind the fact that
r%etribution begins to show itself in
the husbands penitent attitude the
following morning. When Robert
Stafford comes from his room the
next morning. We canno help feeling
that this Is the beginning of the end.
But this beginning of retribution is
followed by another rising action. in
which the wife removes her wedding
ring and leaves her wealthy home.
Some will hold tina this is the eli
max scene. while others will agree
with the author. Each one will have
to settle the question for himself.
A st. Paul newspaper man has just
broken into the playwriting game.
He is w. F. Sailor of the st. Paul
News. and his one act play. THE
Test" is being presented in vaudeville
by Miss Agnes Lee and Arthur Cap
pelen. The latter was with the Shu-
bert Stock company in Minneapolis
during the past summer, playing an
der Leo Baker.
The latter is to have an important
part in the Leibler production Of

THE CASE OF THE

"A case al law. which IA unique TN

ted States Court. u that Of the recent
Hing OF two libels against the
schooner Margaret. now IA Pt. lsa-
bel
IL appears that IN this ease. the
law provides two methods by which
action could have been begun.
The wages 0f the sailors being un-
paid. and payment being refused. the
sailors could either bring an action
IN the state courts or libel the ship
lnder the United States law. The
latter method was adopted.
To 0btain this libel. "A complaint
should be made before the local Uni
ted States commissioner or the Unit
"a States court, accompanied by an
affidavit stating that the wages
we're unpaid and that payment had
been refused.
Upon the filing of such a COM

him 10 show Why "A libel should
not be issued against the vessel for

that there are reasonable grounds for
such complaint. he issues "A c~ertifi-

In the case Of the schooner Mar
garet, the complaint and affidavit
were duly made before Commissioner
Cole and the notice was issued and
served by United States Marshal Lin
ton On the return day. the master
did not appear and the case went by
default. The certificate was issued
TO the court and the vessel was duly
seized upon behalf OK the wages ~
the seamen.
What complicated the case was the
fact that the vessel was already I'M
the hands of the sheriff under an at
tachmcnt. and an execution for debt
secured under the state laws.
The plaintiff IN the later case. on
whose behalf this attachment had
been made. has since paid off the
sailors. and II Is expected that this
case in libel will be dismissed.
A second cas- in libel. however has
been duly served by Marshal Linton
IN behalf or this same plaintiff and
