Mr., C0BuRN TO PLAY
SHYL0Ck'S PART HERE
GIVES PART MODERN lN1ERPRE.
TATioN OF CALM, DIGNIFIE0
MAN.

Since the beginning of the work of
the Coburn Players, scarcely anything
they have presented has made such an
appeal to their hearers as does "The
Merchant Of Venice" The play itself
has the unique distinction of being
at once one of the most popular and
one fthe most condemned of Shakes
peare's dramas. -
The comedy it contains is the secret
Of the popularity; and the condemna-
ton has come upon 1t because of the
alleged slight and slur which seems
to be cast upon the Jewish race. But
later scholars of Shakespeare, and the
greatest actors of his characters are
opposed to such viewpoint, and
would take up the case for Shylock
rather than against him.
Such is Mr.. Coburn's portrayal Of
the Jew. He is not the blood-seeking
avaricious extortioner in the eyes of
ILLS pOl dyCl VI CuoA oCCVI kAoC 0OAAC
would show him to be; but man
moved by the same passions Of life
as are the Christians, resenting right
ly the scorn with which he is treated
by people no M e than his peers. He
has been wronged deeply and is seek
ing revenge which he believes due him
and he will not stop short of taking
human life to gain for his race a vic
tory over the Christian peoples who
have so scorned him and his in the
past years.
This calm, dignifed, human concep-
ton of the role has given Mr.. Co.
burn a leading place as an actor of the
part, for the unusually high artistic
plane to which he has elevated it.

Choosing Ground.

If possible, get ground in your back
yard, or some vacant lot near your
home, which is not shaded much with
trees. The plot of ground need not
be large. One can grow several dol
lars worth of vegetables on a plot ten
feet square if he cares for it properly.
A. Plot all the way from ten feet
square to piece 4Ox60 fact would be
suitable. This ground should not
be wet, or too sandy.
Preparation Of Ground.
Clean all thrash as stone, cans,
sticks, off the ground. Spade up or
nave ground plowed to a depth of Z
inches if possible. If well rotted ma
nure from barn, or chicken manure
can be procured, spread thid1ly on
ground before spading it. If the
ground is spaded, try to turn the soil
all up side down. Break up the clots
as you go with the SPADE. After spad-
ing the ground, make it fine, and level
it off with a rake. Get it level and
free from clots on the surface
Planting.
When the ground is in good condi
ton it is ready to plant. Mark off into
straight rows by stretching string
with stake at each end, lengthwise
of the garden. Stretch the string 50

Police Chief COmbats Crime
By Ordering FeWer Arrests

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Nov. 27.--Be-
lieying that II lies within the power
of the police department TO make
every city better. Chief OF Police
Charles s. Sebastian OF this city has
issued general order 10 all police
stations which will establish a more
discriminative method of dealing with
Offenders.
Here, briefly are the tenets of Sc
bastian's golden rule"
ITO make Los Angeles a better
place 10 live in, / would direct that
every member OF the police force be
as kind and considerable as possible
To unfortunate offenders when the
cases are misdemeanors only, provid-
ed they are satisfied the offense was
not purposely or maliciously commit
ted. or with view OF injuring the
person or property Of another, con-
tinuing, however. severe and relent'
less prosecution OF the felon or habit
ual offender.
THE object / wish 10 attain is the
disposal of trivial misdemeanors with
out arrest, and TO prevent the humiia-
ton and disgrace OF persons who
through thoughtlessness. passion or
temper, or in spirit of frolic, have
given cause 10 be considered offenders.
And also TO prevent the humiliation
of relatives who are of good reputa-
ton.
TO this end | would order:
That If the offense is trivial, the
patrolman may warn and advise the
offender personally. III the offense Is
of more serious nature, the patrol
man v i'll ask the offender TO go TO the
station, where the lieutenant will pass
on the matter, releasing the offender
should his Judgment warrant.
IL the offender manifests q desire
TO be released after being given adj
vice or after temporary detention,
leniency should be shown him.
If the offender is defiant, he shall
be tried in the usual way.
Arrest no one for intoxication I'M
less for his own protection or for the
protection OF another IL the person
under the influence of liquor resides
on your post or an adjoining post,
take him home and report the facts.
The procedure must not apply TO
any offense OF a serious nature or to
persistent v,clators. Nor rs it 70 be
made the excuse for failing to attend
properly to complaints or the proper
enforcement of the law.
Officers at station houses will keep

ed all claim in them to him. Marcus
divorce suit was the result and his
wife did not contest IL.
II Mrs. Marcus father is right in
believing that prenatal influence is
responsible for her state OF mind. we
should not criticise her too severely.
But II he is wrong we must accept
her abnormal conduct as merely the
ultimate development OF the POSSIBLE
tiles in any loyeless marriage Zoe
fact that women have been able TO
love children born In loathing or in
the stale tepidity OF marriage OF in
difference. Is the greatest miracle or
motherhood. And Mrs. Marcus may
be merely one OF those to whom the
miracle didn't happen. Even mira
cles miss fire sometimes.
Love for little helpless animals, for
puppies and kittens. is just an extern
sion OF the maternal instinct No
woman is TO be censured for loving
them. Mrs. Marcus queerness lay In
not loving more tenderly and pro.
foundly the little helpless things that
were peculiarly her own She should
not have loved her dogs and horses
less, merely her children more And,
undoubtedly. she would have loved
them II she had been able to love

of Gilberton told in court
She was arrested charged by Mrs.
Lizzie Shorts with having scratched
her face until the blood came. Mrs.
Somansky's defense was:
~ was at Mrs. Shorts house on
Christmas last and she asked me TO
have a drink OF whisky. AS she was
pouring II out she said something. and
when / drank the whisky | choked
and lost my voice"
She did not get her voice back for
several weeks, and finally consulted
a witch doctor, who told her that II
she scratched Mrs. Shorts face until
the blood came the evil spirit would
leave her.
The next time she met Mrs. Shorts
she scratched her as directed. Mrs
Somansky's husband, present at the
time, was tried for assault and found
guilty.
