THE DRAINAGE PROBLEM
~ REVIEWED BY EXPERT

districts recently organized In the
San Luis valley contemplate drains
one-half mile apart. To expect. or
hope for. results by installing them
at greater distances is display OF
abject ignorance OF the fundamental
principles of drainage and must from
the very nature of conditions spell
disappointment.
The suggestion is frequently made
that it might be advisable to first
put in half as many drains as figured
on and await results before spending
more money. The age of miracles
has passed, and half system OF
drainage is no system. No man in
his right mind ever asked physi-
clan to take out half his appendix. at
half the cost. and see II that wouldn't
not drain. No bond company EN-
ploying competent engineers, will
ever consider for moment buying
bonds issued on a makeshift drain

some individual who knows nothing

If in any of these three districts
mentioned the drainage system
seems a little elaborate, and the esti-
mate of cost and bond issue trifie
high, will it display better judgment
to work against drainage or to vote
the bonds on the assumption that no
sane board OF directors Will ever con-

has been drained In all these dis
tricts, where tile drains one-half mile
apart are proposed, the proper meth

course, construct the open bitches,
then construct the tile drains at an
interval of one mile. This will mean
that every individual quarter section
within the district will get some
benefits of drainage within the mini
mum length of time. II this proves

Yale Drama Players
In Social Satire
1.-THE Fruits of Culture" by Tolstoy, Given at
Columbia Theater, Brings Out Wash
ington Society.

while the big audience laughed at the
lines, the characters who read them,
and every little while marveled and were
interested. At times the work was so
well done that the most critical was il
msioned. Too much cannot be said for
the costumes and settings of the play.
Their fidelity was wonderful.
There is something more or less hu-
morous about college boys in mixed
roles. This feature added much of the
merriment to the performance. One who
has seen the players for the last three
years can never forget r. F. King, who
plays female roles He made the club
in his freshman year He was first seen
in The Fam" last year in THE Dew
IFS Disciple" and this year in the Toll
stOy play. He has one more year and
Yale will miss him when he is gone. 1t
would be difficult to get any one who
does better work. He is cast this year
as Tanya, a maid servant. His work
Is a delight
Others in Cast.
Sharing honors with him are II. T.
Cummings, as a professor, and ]. Ache
lis, as a physician. The makeup of
Achelis was particularly good and his
stage presence excellent. Cummings
could make good as a comedian on the
professional stage. D. l. Mccoy, who
played the part of the wife Of the Rus
sian nobleman, also deserves special
mention for a part that is fat" but
likely to be ovCrplayed.
Other members in the cast were c. p.
Fields, r. C. Myles, jr., r. A. Conroy,
II. T. Rogers, p. Newberry, N. E. Toohey,
F. W. futile, C. r. Strang, J. E. Brown.

G. Z. Stevens, jr
After seeing THE Fruits Of Culture
one will not change his mind that Tol.
stoy's fame forever will rest on his lit
erary qualities, for it Is evident even in
this frothy comedy. The play amuses,
entertains, and is altogether delightful,
But, after all. the crowds that went are
mostly friends of yale, the mother of
men," That is the reason society paid
homage to Tolstoy, and when the play
was over and the carriages were being
called, floating out through the open
doors one could hear the orchestra play

NAMES FLAG IS FOUND.
Will Be Sent to Naval Academy's Me-
moral Hall.

The Navy Department yesterday re-
ceived a United States flag in use as
the ensign on board the old battleship
Maine; when that vessel was destroyed
in Havana Harbor in 1895.
The ensign was recovered from the
wreck soon after the disaster. and has
been lost from sight in the naval sta
ton at Key West, Fla, where it was
first deposited. It will be sent at once
to the Naval Academy. at Annapolis,
where 1t will be placed in Memorial Hall.
The flag is almost unacceptable, the
stripes being hardly discernablc, as the
whole has turned a dark rust color.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1912-12-28

Both society and lovers OF the drama
attended the performance OF The Fruits
of Culture" the Tolstoy comedy. as pre-
scented by the players of the Yale ORA
matte Club at the Columbia Theater yes
terday. 1t is altogether possible, how
ever that society made the affair the
success it was.
In addition to it being the one big
college event of the holiday season,
and one which brought out all the alum
nj Of the New Haven institution, many
wendell their way to the playhouse to
see a comedy from the pen of the Rus
sian novelist and humanitarian. who is
Familiarity known as an author OF things
that reek in appalling tragedy and i'm
polling realism. Therefore, comedy
from his pen was the unusual thing,
and, as the play had never been pro-
duced in America before, the college
players attempted it, To Washington
ians, at least. it was a novelty, and the
care-free and blase revel in the nov
elites.
THE Fruits of Culture is called a So
ciaI satire, and il is all of that. One
hardly would imagine anything so hu-
morous from the pen of Tolstoy, who,
in the later years of his life, scarcely
smiled. The little comedy of three short
acts, however, served as means to an
end-poking fun at those in Russia who
are called the upper classes. The trans
lation has been liberal, but at no time
is the plot deeper than a pool of water
left by a rain, and at no time is it as
muddy.
Built on Spiritualism.
The play is built about the foibles of
spiritualism, and the crazy old Rus
sian,' as Tolstoy was once called, prob
ably wrote it to explain that there was
very little in the natural world that had
any relation to the spiritual. His ex-i
pose OF the frauds of mediums who
operated in the homes of the incredulous
aristocrat, Lieut.. Zvesdintsey, Rus
sian nobleman, is the story of the play.
Impossible names to pronounce are the
characters in the play.
1t takes Tolstoy three short acts to tell
his story. Through less than two hours
of playing the Yale boys wended their
way, unfolding the story step by step,
