National Capital-Roes Seem to Have Been Written
Especially For Poll Players.

'Eelieve Me, Xantippe." the much
talked-of play that Is being presented
on the Poll stage this week, probably is
the most unique play that ever ap-
peared before the footlights.
Usually an absolutely perfect produc-
tion of any kind is insipid because Of its
perfection. We all down in our hearts
despise the good boy because his man.
ncrs are so perfect and he is such a
model child. So when the 5000 prize
was awarded to Fred Ballard by the
University of Harvard because Believe
Me, Nantippe" was 100 per cent perfect.
according to the rules laid down for
the writing Of plays, the average hu-
man being would expect to find q drama
that failed to satisfy because it had no
imperfections
But the Poll theatergoer has a pleasant
surprise in store-that is. those who have
not already been to the popular avenue
pl' house this week. Aside from the
frcC that this weeks offering IS one
of the best all-around dramatic Offerings
that has ever Craced the Poll stage
Believe Me. Xantippe' is really a clever
comedy that abounds in originality and
humor. 1t is one continuous laugh from
start to finish. Its PERFECTION docs not
so good that 1t has lost Its savor
Far from it.
Believe Me. Xantippe" Is one of the
most amusing and entertaining coIledies
that has appeared in Washington. and
the presentation OF the cornc,ly is one of
the best pieces of dramatic work. In

SCORES SEEK GOLD
OFFERED BY HERALD
Replies to why Is Morning Ad Better
Than Afternoon Reveal Pop
ular Interest.

Answers already are commencing to
stream into the advertising department
of The Herald in connection with the
offer of $50 In gold for the best article
Of less than 800 words on What are the
advantages shoppers enjoy from last
minute advertising In the morning news
papers," Some contestants called yes
terday morning. only a few hours after
the formal announcement of the con-
test. to leave their answers to the ques-
tion. The afternoon malls brought
larger numbers and it Is expected the
influx will grow steadily.
Zeal is added to the interest Of the
contestants by the announcement that
the prizes will be awarded on the basis
Of the facts and reasons presented rather
than on the basis of grammar. This
is case in which the idea alone counts
the form in which 1t is vested is con-
sidered almost a negligible quantity.
The first award will be SIS in gold;
the second will be SIS. and the third SO.
In case the judges are unable to decide
which is the better or best Of two or
more answers, each will receive the full
award.
One Of the attractive features of the
contest is that answers must not be in
excess Of 3OO~words. 1t takes but a
short time to write an essay of this
length. In spare moments-before break
fast. during lunch hour, or while waiting
for dinner-a person may jot down ideas
and enter the race for the prizes. And
it will not require much searching for
facts. The advantages of the morning
paper over the evening paper as an ad-
vertising medium are SO numerous that
they leap to the mind in rapid success
sion. On all sides the contestants will
find material.
Some Of them are great" said the con-
test editor last night to a reporter. 1--WE
been reading the answers by the scores
and l am being impressed as never be-
fore at the superiority of the morning
paper over the afternoon paper when II
comes to advertising. Many Of the an
swers are epigramatic and forceful. They
are not long and tedious They are short
and crisp. But they hit the bulls eye
in every phrase and sentence. Tho pub
lie Is going to be as interested in these
prize answers as in the names Of the
prize winners

OBSERVATORY KEEPS
TAB ON SUMS HEAT
Astrophysical Scientists Study Rays
and Learn 1t Varies With Trans
parency of the Atmosphere.

A group OF small frame buildings in
houses the official and local laboratory
of the Astrophysical Observatory, where
much interesting work Is being done in
measuring the heat sent out by the sun.
and ascertaining whether this heat varies
from day to day. The results of these
experiments or rather observations are OF
no little moment since they tell of the
great heat supplying force of nature,
which affects all life. animal and plant.
Every human being would manifest
much concern II he were versed in the
obscure subject of astrophysics. but he
is not. Although foreseen in 1861. when
scientists began to realize that besides
locating heavenly bodies, in answer to
the then prevalent question where" as
tronomy had another phase, answering
the question what" astrophysics has
never become a subject of general knowl-
edge. For centuries our astronomers had
determined the location Of suns. stars
and planets. but now came what DR..
Samuel Pierpont Langley, late secretary
of the Smithsonian, termed The New
Astronomy" science concerning the
physical properties of the heavenly
bodies. and calculated to inform us of
what they are made and how they affect
the earth and man.
The Smithsonian Astrophysical OBJ
servatory was founded in 1Ss0-9l under
the direction of DIR. Langley.
The amount of heat received on the
earth from the sun varies with the
transparency of the atmosphere. II this
transparency can be assumed constant
for two hours on fine days. the loss Of
the suns heat in passing through 1t can
easily be measured. This assumption
was attacked on the basis that 1t was
not right In theory. But the members
Of the observatory force at once set to
work to make observations and measure
ments at widely separated stations of
different atmospheric clearness and ele-
walton. The result OF the measurements
agreed closely.
Then it was doubted that the clearness
OF the atmosphere remained constant
even during an observation requiring
two hours time, and SO the observers
decided to make further measurements.
This time they made observations to
discover any changes in the atmospheric
transparency. or clearness. but were un-
able to find any appreciable variation.

fact, there has never been a play staged
at Polls that so exactly fitted the Poll
cast of players. Had Fred ballard had
the Poll company of Washington in mind
for the actors in his play he could not
have fitted them more perfectly With
parts that they are capable Of portray
ing.
The leading man OF the Poll Players
A. H. Ban Buren,, Is cast as the techni-
cal law-breaker and fugitive. A role
that gives him an opportunity to dis
play his abilities as a comedy artist and
artist from the type" on the stage
His Interpretation of his part is one OF
the best things he has done on the Poll
stage.
Florence Rittenhouse enacts her role
that of the sheriff's daughter, with as
much realism as Mr.. Van Buren, dis
plays in his role In fact. the entire
company is SO well balanced in this pro-
duction that there Is small wonder that
Polls has been playing to capacity
houses and is rapidly disbursing tickets
for the seats that remain for the rest
of the week.
Believe Me, Xantippe'' undoubtedly
deserved the 5000 prize-if not for its
perfection as a dramatic production, II
would be entitled to 1t on its merits as
a laugh provoker. And had a similar
prize been awarded for the best inter-
probation of the comedy. there Is small
doubt in the minds of those who have
been to the Avenue playhouse that the
Poll Players would be the prize win
ners.

Colonel.

Edward Maier. Of Eastern High School.
whose appointment as lieutenant colonel
of the high school cadet regiment, has
just been announced, may step into a
colonelcy before he graduates from
Eastern next June.
II the high schools develop enough
cadet companies. a second cadet regi-
ment will be formed. This Is considered
probable. as officials believe thao sixteen
companies, instead Of the twelve which
comprised the regiment last year. will
be formed. Mr.. Maier is what would be
termed politically the logical candidate
for the position.
Eastern High School. in winning the
lieutenant colonelcy. bids fair to shatter
longevity records for positions of honor
in tho regiment. For the last four
years the colonels Of the regiment have
been students at Eastern. II Mr.. Maier
becomes a colonel. a record will have
been established which will stand at least
for FIVE years.
Mr.. Maier Is the son Of George J. p.
Maier, Of 220s Minnesota avenue south

team Of Eastern. a member Of the rifle
team, and business manager Of the
