A DEMAND FOR BETTER PLAYS.

Ii is reasonable to expect that dramatic literature
will gain by the offer of Winthrop Ames, director Of
the New Theater, New York, of $4,000 for the best
PLAY produced by an American author. Prizes nave
always had a marked stimulating effect on literary
and musical production and artistic work generally.
Dramatic writing in this country has been of gen.
orally low standard for many years and anything
which holds out hope of improvement is good thing.
No author is so successful that he afford to scoff
at price of $4,000 for play, and the struggler
at the bottom can see in it prospect of something
like affluence.
One has only to read tne lines of the average
piece produced in theater these days to understand
how far it falls short of being literature at ALL There
is no lack of writer's but they turning out quantity
rather than quality. John Corbin, literary critic of
the New Theater asserts that Of 5000 plays submitted
to and read by him, only two were fit to use.
1t is possible that there are Shakespeares and
Sneridans as far as talent is concerned, among play
writers in America today but long their ideals
reach only to the first stage of success and fall short
of the second and greater artistic, literary
and dramatic quality-they will win only temporary
fame and be crowded off the boards in few years
by new generation of timeseNers
Mr. Ames deserves praise for his experiment, and
the result will be watched with deep interest by all
who hope that dramatic writing in this country will
be pulled out of the slough.

mental waste We are in receipt of a letter from one
of these setting forth that Leesburg was misrepre-
sented by our former correspondent that it is fully
apprecative of its public building and thinks itself
entitled to it.
Moreover, this letter comes from Mayor E. T.
Adams and, therefore, may be taken official GER
tication that Leesburg after all, is sane and nor

Leesburg Va, April 9. 1918.
Editor Washington Times Washington, D. C.
The letter from Mr.. Grammer published in your

Our population intrinscaly, is larger than given in

WONDERFUL BUENOs AYREs.

Business men in the United States that are apa-
thetc on the subject of South Americas trade may
derive profit from little pondering the recent
growth of Buenos Ayres. That boom city's popula-
ton has increased in the last ten years by 65OOOO
about equal to the total population of Baltimore and
its suburbs. According to census taken last Jam
uary, it has $4,000 inhabitants, and Philadelphia
has good to fear that she may be crowded out
of eleventh place among the cities of the world.
1t is hard to realize how fast not only Buenos
Ayres, but all Of Argentina, is growing Wealth that
comes so fast from its cattle and wheat is spent
lavishy every year in general trade, and there is
excellent reason why Americans should have rushed
long ago to embrace such rich business oppor-
tunity 1t is not too late to make up for lost time,
and compete with England and Germany in field
whose advantages they have been quicker to see

The funeral of ]. Pierpont Morgan, in New YORK
today will mark the end OF career which, for w'oe

things of the world at many points, has perhaps nao
no parallel in our country. Mr.. Morgan Will be oet-

can be certain that no estimate will deny him place
among the world figures of his time
In dozen departments of useful activity ne was

LEESBURG IS NORMAL!

Just few days ago The Times published let
ret from citizen of Leesburg, Va, of unique char
acter The writer protested that Leesburg had been
given $4,000 postofce by the recent public build
ing measure passed by Congress He didn't think the
town needed such a costly structure, and declared
that he had talked with large number of its people,
who agreed with him.
1t turns out that correspondent is not to be
permitted to claim that he speaks for Leesburg. 1t
would have been marvellous if his letter had gone un-
challenged, and il does not.
There are plenty of perfectly normal, natural sane
people in Leesburg; people of the substantial Ameri-
can sort who just naturally know that anything you
can get from the Government is good thing to
take, matter whether you need it not; people who
decline worry about who pays the bills for govern

How to Lengthen
Your Life
Need of Guarding the Liver.
BY J. A. Husick, N. d.

-HE liver Is a very important. or.
gan in the human economy. II
is the chemical laboratory Of the
human sytem. Its cells change
certain of the foods we consume into
fine form Of animal sugar which Is
utilized by the muscles Of the body as
a sort Of energy. The liver manufac-
lures the bile used in the complex pro-
cess of intestinal digestion. Without the
normal functioning Of the liver sound
health cannot be maintained. And
when the liver is degenerated or de-
stroyed by disease life itself becomes
i'm possible.
There are many ways in which a full,
normal activity of the liver may be
hindered. BY far the most common
evil habit in this direction is the seden-
tary life Of the ordinary human being.
Most people spend much of their lives
In a sitting and reclining posture. They
are seated most of the time when at
home, they do their days work while
sitting. and even on their way to and
from their work they are seated If
they can get seat. In fact, the
principal time when they are not sitting
is when they are lying down in bed.
This constant sedentary habit results in
the congestion and cloggtng up of the
delicate passages of the liver. with
resulting injury and disease. 1t Is thess
sendentary individuals that furnish the
great class of chronic sufferers. Indi-
gestion, dizziness, severe headache. in
somnia, inability to concentrate the at
tention and to accomplish good work-aIl
these symptoms are complained of by
those who lead the sedenta.-y life.
Next to sedentary habits In it's evil
effects upon the functions of the liycr
is the frequent use or abuse of alcoholic
beverages The "gin liver" is an old
saving. Alcohol acts as an irritant
POISON upon the delicate cells Of which
the liver Is made up. The cells degen-
crate and are broken down. In their
place grows new ropy. fbrous tissue
which has not the power Of the active
liver cells.
This weakening of the usefulness of
the liver is followed by long train OF
symptoms of Ill health. The power of
the digestion is weakened. the entire
system suffers from n lowered vitality.
the heart and kidneys give way. till
after several years Of broken health
the sufferer succumbs at a compare
lively early age.
To keep the liver in a fresh state OF
habits. Take some exercise each day.
Walk to and from your work. spend
some time of the day In the fresh air.
Avoid poisoning your liver with alcohol
and an excess OF food A little care
I'm this direction will repay you by good
health. increased efficiency and useful
ness and by happier and longer life.
