Faraday Has Bad Luck

There has been a check in the run
of luck experienced by Philip Michael
Faraday, who had been threatening
to become one of the most important
theatrical managers in London. Fara-
day is by profession, a land valurer,
but some years ago, discovering that
he had talent as a composer of light,
pretty music, he composed the score
for 'Amasis'' and made a small fortune
and a large reputation out of its pro-
duction at the Criterion. Then, for
a long time, he returned to his business
as a land valurer until one day he join
ed hands with Fred Whitney in the
London production of "The Chocolate
Soldier" at the Lyric. This was big
financial success here as 1t was In the
United States, but Faraday did not like
the idea of splitting profits. So, fol-
lowing a disagreement between, the
partners as to the production to fol-
low the Straus musical comedy, Whit
ney went back to the United States
and Faraday put on "The Nightbirds. y
Its practical failure justified the Ameri-
cans judgement. but Faraday soon
soon pulled himself out of a hole with
THE Girl in the Taxi" a production
which cost him very little money and
returned him a heap.
About this time he became bitten by
an even greater ambition and took the
New Theatre. Then he put on Love
and Laughter" at the Lyric and "The
Laughing Husband at the New. Much
to his chagrin the public refused to
laugh at either and Love and Laugh
ter is to be retired in favor of re-
vival of "The Girl in the TaxP' while
heroic efforts are being made to find
something to stop the leakage in the
Faraday purse at the New

HALE HAMILTON To

Her Sketch That Didn't

by JOHN AVA CARPENTER

London. November s.-(Special.)
Hale Hamilton, the ever bright and
cheerful. who breezed into London and
| took playgoers by storm by his per-
formance of the Fascinating hero in
Get Rich Quick waiiingford" and who
is now playing in SEALED ORDERS" the
Drury Lane melodrama, threatens to
become a permanent London institution
Meeting him on the street a couple Of
days ago as he went swinging along
to keep what he called "a very impor-
tant engagement" he told me that he
was planning to take a London theatre
''on his own" bring over an American
play with an alI-American company,
and try his luck as an actor manager.
Nothing definite has been put In black
and white as yet, SO Il am not at liber-
ty to tell you more OF the details. fs
1t is the general opinion among a
large number of the American actors
in London that an all-American COM
pany in an American show of the best
sort would make a big hit here Of.
course the idea Is by no means as new
as these same actors seem to think,
and I, for one. would like to have even
a small percentage of the thousands of
dollars that have been lost in the past
in efforts to demonstrate this very
claim. But Hamilton is encouraged in
his belief by the fact that all those
connected with the run of "Get-Rich- :.
Quick Wallingford'' were of the opin.
ion that, if it had been presented in
London with an all-American cast, in
stead of a mixed company, as 1t was,
its run, would have been indefinitely
prolonged and its average receipts ma
terially increased.

Washington, ID. c.. Oct. 22.-Clean

are two measures recommended FIR the
control Of the pOtatO-tuber moth i'll Far
mers' Bulletin No. 557, which has just
been issued by the Bureau of Entomology
of the [. S. Department Of Agriculture.
The potato-tuber moth has been the
worst potato pest in California and has
been known as an enemy to tobacco for
several years in Florida. the CarOlinas
and Virginia. Only last year the scien-
fists discovered how rapidly this devas-
tating pest is spreading. 1t has now
reached the states of Washington and
Texas and menaces adjacent states. As
an enemy of eggplant and ground cherry,
it has been observed as far north as the
District of Columbia.

DESTROY WEEDS.

This new bulletin recommends clean
methods of cultivation as the first meas
ure for destroying the potatotuber moth.
This implies that all infested potato
plants and such weeds as the ground
cherry. bull nettles and horse n%ettles,
growing in the vicinity of the potatoes,
must be destroyed. This can be lone by
prompt burning as 500 as it is evident
that the insect has attacked the plants.
The burning of these weeds will eliminate
places for breeding of the insect. and
places where it might spend the winter.
Domestic animals, such as sheep and
hogs. are also valuable for the destruc-
ton of such insects as might remain in
old tubers and weeds. They may be util-
lied by merely turning them into the field.

As in most other cases of insect injury.
crop rotation is desirable where possible
and the cooperation Of all potato grow
crs Of the neighborhood is practically a
necessity. There are several alternate
food crops which do not suffer materially
from this insect. Among the best Of these
alfalfa and clover. These possess a dOu-
bic value, because they all act as soil re-
~st9rers as well. Sugar beets. celery. and
crucifiers are also good as alternate food
crops. Grains may serve in the same way

1t is noticeable that while there are
a number of major games both in the
West and South, the only game in the
East promising much is that between
Princeton and Dartmouth.
