way TO now order and the perspective
Of time prop the critical Judgment.
Such treatment Of contemporary condi-
tons Is necessarily q pretencc, per-
fectly fair but not an effective means
Of release from the requirements Of
contemporary criticism. II Prof. Burton
has any advantage over the daily chron-
icler Of the stage. II is in the academic
leisure OF composition and the increased
opportunity Of constructing philcsophic
reticulations; and contemporary philos-
ophy cannot substitute for the perspec-
tive providing agency Of time and dis
lance. As the theatre is, in no less
degree than the professor forcefully
urges, a part Of pulsing life, II is a
thing Of to-day and each day is a day
unto itself. So the book Is a study OF
the theatre Of to-day by a critic Of to-
day.
Prof. Burton FIRST takes up the lure
Of the theatre. The theatre Is an
amusement: herein lies its peril and It's
great opportunity" The drama can be
literary or democratic. Play is a neces-
sity OF our nature. The mimetic in.
sunct survives childhood in all Of us.
The theatre Is rooted also in the re-
ligious nature Of man. Shall we con-
serve our forests and have no govern
mental supervision Of the theatre?

The army worm has reached Steel
ton.
Marching in corps, battalions or
regiments, or in whatever formation
army worms march, the little pests
reached the outskirts of the borough
a few days ago. Skirmishers, thrown
out possibly to reconnoiter along the
front" and discover the best places
to forage. began their attack on the
green lawns along Cottage Hill.
Residents in this section of the bor-
ough first noticed the presence of the
worms when their lawns began to turn
from green to brown over night. They
were at a loss to understand what was
causing the damage. A close search
disclosed hordes of worms about an
inch long Tairly covering the lawns.
But before measures could be taken
to destroy the pests. the skirmishers
returned to the main body and the
entire army moved upon the town.
The right flank attacked the beautiful
lawns along Pine street while the left
flank moved down along the southern
end of Cottage Hill. The Center COM
menced operations in the heart of
the borough.
And where the army attacked long
stretches the green lawns were turned
straw. Then the residents got busy.
Rush orders were placed at drug
stores for arsenic of lead and other
insecticides. Now practically every per-
son who owns a patch of lawn in the
borough is waging war on the worms
n number of drug stores have eN-
hausted their supply of arsenic of
lead hut fresh orders are already COM
ing and the war will be continued.

DELAY IN PAVING
CAUSES DISCUSSION
South Front Street Job Held Up
Over Dispute as to Loca-
ton of Tracks

Delay in commencing paving op-
erations in South Front street and a
number of side streets in the lower end
of the borough is causing considerable
discussion.
The paving of South Grant street is
held up pending the outcome of dis
pute between the Steelton council and
the Harrisburg Railways Company.
AT the last meeting of council the
traction company was ordered to move
the tracks to the center of the street
but no time limit was set in which the
work was to be done. Borough Sec
retary Charles P. Feidt has notified the
Harrisburg Railways Company of
councils action, but has received no
reply to his letter
Work on the Harrisburg and South
Second street jobs is progressing rap
idly. The trolley company has nearly
completed its track laying and expects
to have its concreting done in about a
week. The Central Construction and
supply Company has a large force of
men at work placing curbing and will
begin laying concrete in a short time.

been under suspension for more than
five weeks, ever since his refusal to re-
port to the Nashville club.
In settlement of all claims on Kraft
the Nashville club is to receive s2,-

Il made this arrangement without
either request or instructions from
either the American or the National
League" Mr.. Ebbets said. IT acted
entirely upon my own responsibility.
1 have not been in communication
with Dave Fultz. either. Doubtless,
however. he as well everybody else,
will be pleased with this settlement of
the situation"
Accepts Responsibility
Mr Ebbets was asked If the Ma
tional League had backed down"
No" he replied 'if anybody has
backed DOWN. have. accept the re-
sponsibility for the whole thing"
Kraft will not suffer in any way
financially, Mr.. Ebbets continued. He
will he paid Newark salary of $3.50 n
month ($150 more than the Nashville
club was permitted to pay him) for
the entire time that he was under
suspension and for the rest of the life
of his contract.
II settled this case myself because
did not want to see trouble between
organized baseball and its players" "
Mr.. Ehbets said. 1T seemed to me
that this was the simplest and easiest
way out of the dificulty--for Newark
to buy NashVilles interest in the Dlay-
er. or course I realize that this settle
ment will be practically a victory for
the fraternity inasmuch as they got
everything they asked for"
David L. Fultz, president Baseball
Players Fraternity, expressed gratifi-
cation at the outcome of the case.
IF the purchase is a bona fide one,
and the Newark club intends to use
Kraft we are satisfied" he said. 80
