The demand for sea food is a per-
sistent and an increasing one. SO
much so that in some lines the sup
ply is threatened with extinction. This
is particularly true of the lobster
which is every year becoming scarcer
and consequently dearer. and even the
succulent clam is not found in it's
former abundance in those haunts to
which 1t once gave fame. But the
scallop is good substitute. and the
report just made to the Secretary of
Commerce that a bed of the giant vari-
ETY.. thirty miles wide and extending
from Rhode Island to the Virginia
capes, has been found. is very reas-
surfing. The common kind are plenty
enough, but.they are only half as large
as the giaf variety, and not account
ed SO great u delicacy. This new source
of supply Is regarded as practically
tnexhaustible, and 1t is not likely to
have an Immediately lowering effect
upon the price Of a hotel order.

UDIENCEs at the theaters are

4 UD1ENCES at the theaters are
"a rarely the subject of comment
"a by dramatic critics. for it is the
actors and actresses that are in
the iimelight on the printed
page as upon the stage. AS great as
is the credit of an actress or an actor
for effective portrayal. or as is the
blame for an unsympathetic interpreta-
ton of a character role. the audience
still has part in the effectiveness or
lack of effectiveness of the work-some-
times only a small part. but still not an
infinitesmal one. There may be excep-
tions, such as when song or a bit of
comedy stills panic-stricken crowd in
a playhouse. but even then the credit
may be due almost entirely to a quality
of leadership rather than dramatic abil-
ity.
Especially audiences at stock company
presentations, however, play a part in
the effectiveness of the portrayals. Fa-
vorites OF a. company are often steeled to
do their best by the outburts of applause
That greet their efforts. On the other
hand, these favorites may be handicapped
by too much enthusiasm, manifested in
applause, on the part of their friends
In the orchestra circle, balcony or gal
lery. 1t comes about through the habit
OF applauding favorite upon his or her
first appearance upon the stage for the
evening Often much of the effective
ness Of the portrayal of the character
depends upon the first entrance. 1t may
require Quick-spoken word an austere
manner or some other special touch to
put a kick" into the situation. If the
audience bursts into applause, no matter
how well meant, 1t is easy to see how
the entire climax may be lost in bow
or a-esu1ife in Acknowledgement of the
friendly good evening" greeting. This
is, not so common an experience for Wis
iting companies during the regular sea-
son as for stock companies.
As much as such applause may touch
the heart Of the actor or actress, any of
them with ambition and sincerity in
the art must acknowledge the frequent
bad results of the practice and deplore 1t
rs q practice Because of their depend
ence upon the friendliness of their audi
tors. few stock actors can be expected
TO proclaim such views from the hilltops.
But II Is true that some have tried, by
nance such a hating Of the action Of the
play. At the end of each act Is given

an appreciation for an excellent charac-
ter portrayal

SOUTHLAND VETERANS
AT FISHERS HILL, VA.
Annual Confederate Reunion Is
Record-Breaker in Attend
ance-Candidates Speak.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

WINCHESTER, Va, August ., 1913
The annual reunion of Confederate
veterans was held today on the battle
grounds at Fishers Hill, Shenandoah
county, Va, where men fought and died
fifty years ago. In spite of the fact that
the veterans are crossing the river
more rapidly now than ever before the
attendance was record-breaker, the
crowd early this afternoon being esti-
mated anywhere between $1,000 and 49,
900 people,
The fact that four candidates for state
offices to be voted on in the democratic
state primary Tuesday of next week were
present was an incentive for the people
to gather. expecting to hear number of
joint debates. The candidates made
speeches, but politics was put under the
ban at the outset Those making ad-
dresses were Lieut.. Gov. j. Taylor Ely
son of Richmond. his opponent, Lewis H
Machen of Alexandria; Attorney General
Samuel Williams and his opponent, John
Garland Pollard
A number of other short addresses were
made by prominent veterans, one of the
most interesting being that by W. A.
wider OF Macon. ia, who was q member
of the 18th Georgia Regiment, Rhodes
Division of Jackson's Corps, and who
was near Gen. Rhodes when the latter
was killed just north of Winchester. Mr.
Wider was wounded at the same time.
lie was also with his regiment at the
Fishers Hill fight and was there today
for the first time in forty-siX years.
John Garland Pollard came to Win
chester and made a speec. in behalf of
his candidacy from the courthouse steps
tonight a large crowd attended the
Pollard meeting, as it was the first and
only speech of the campaign made in
Frederick county.
In Charge Of Reunion.
The work Of making arrangements for
the reunion of the veterans was in charge
OF q committee of Slower Camp C. w.. Of
Strasburg, under the auspices of which
all the reunions have been held. Col
Josiah Stickley, commander of the camp,
was chairman Of the committee ON ar
rangements. and the transportation COM
mittee was headed by Maj. C. M. Bor,m
of the Southern railway. That road
operated eight special trains In addition
10 the regular train service from MANY
points between Washington on one side
of the grounds and Harrisonburg at the
other end. a special train from Bruns-
wick, Md, through to the Fishers Hill
station was operated by the Baltimore
and Ohia railroad.
The reunion was made the occasion of
hundreds of family picnic gatherings.
and these were attended by many former
Shenandoah valley people now living in
different sections OF the United States,
who always make 1t a point to .'go back
home" at least once year.
The ranking Conferedate officer on the
houser of Maurertown. Va. and Rev.

generally. The same public sentiment
and spirit of action that has been en-
ployed against the hookworm Is now
directed against typhoid fever. tubercu-
losis. malaria and other diseases that can
be fought effectively only by concerted
community action.
During the last two years. at the in
stance of the Rockefeller commission, a
world with reference to hookworm
infection has been made. This showed
that the disease, with all its train OF
physical and economic woes. is prevalent

degrees south.
With this survey before its members
the Rockefeller Foundation. at it's very
first session.
Must Be Worldwide reached the

OF hookworm disease, to be permanently
effective, must not stop In the United
States. or In any one country. but must
continue straight around the world.
What wide belt this is. and how
much of the world 1t includes, Is not
between. 36 north and 30 south" 1t
comprises all Of the American continent
from about the Mason and Dixon line
southwark to the upper reaches of Ar
gentina and Chile. 1t includes practically
the whole of the continent Of Africa. 1t
takes In large parts Of southern Europe.
1t comprises the northern three-fourths
of Australia. 1t takes In the East Indies
as we'll as the West Indies. And. more
important than all, 1t comprises all that
portion OF Asia except Siberia, northern
China, Korea and Mongolia. 1t takes in
China proper and India, the Malay states
and Ceylon, covering a population I'm

ding this wide belt of the hookworm dis
ease ever before was undertaken by hu-
man beings, IL we except the efforts of
the followers Of Jesus and OF Buddha
and Mohammed to convert the nations
to their own religion.
To this end. and having in mind pub
lie health movements that may follow
the hookworm campaigns, the founda-
ton established an organization, under
the comprehensive title Of international
health commission. To this new or
ganizatfon the foundation has delegated
the task of Immediately attacking the
hookworm disease in foreign countries
always with the support and co-opera-
ton of the local authorities and the
people.
