USE OF CONCRETE.

A news item from the extension
service Of the ONO College of Agri.
culture states that during the sum-
mer months the college will send an
instructor to a limited number Of!
places in that State to lecture and
give demonstrations on the mixing and
use OF concrete. The only require
ment the college makes is that the
person arranging for the demonstra
ton agrees to have a number of his
neighbors meet and get the benefit
OF the instruction given.
This is a useful method Of giving
information that should be of con-
siderable benefit to the farmers Of
Ohio. II is a service that the col
leges OF the Southwest might well
afford TO render There are so many
uses that may be made of concrete
on the farm; concrete is so import.
ant in the comfort and convenience
OF the farmer and his family; its in
fluence for neatness and durability in
buildings and structures on farms
that our colleges might find it ad.
visable to give information in mixing
and using concrete on our farms.
The engineering departments Of the
agricultural and mechanical colleges
should be in a position to give these
demonstrations as most Of them have
facilities for making, molding and
testing concrete in their laboratories
and for the benefit of their pupils at
the college. In cooperation with the
extension department OF the college,
members of the engineering faculty
could make demonstrations where
the requests we're made for them.
We have not yet learned how to use
our colleges of agriculture, nor have
our colleges learned how to make full
use Of their facilities for serving the
people Of the States. But the people
are beginning to call upon the college
men and the college men are making
better use OF their opportunities for
service. As a result, the future is
brighter for leadership and for better

A visit to the silo factory shows a

There is not one year in ten that

Mir. He1lman was widely known in Connecticut. He was the son of Marcus HenInan and was born in Bridgeport although when child, his parents removed to Waterbury, where most of his life was spent and where he received his education in the public and the high schools. His father was one Of the pioneer Ger man settlers of Waterbury and with his brother established the brewery firm of HelInaan & Nuhn in the Brooklyn district later Heuman & Mpp-
 For . lime Mr. HeIlman after be- ing graduated from schooF was in business with his father. At the death Of the latter he engaged in the retail liquor business for himself At one time he was the owner of three cafes When he retired from the n- quor business, with James A Kee-i gan of Waterbury, he formed the J. A Keegam Roofing Co. The firm had offices in Waterbury and New Haven. When the Waterbury office was abandoned and the business transfer red to New Haven, MT Hellrnan re- tired from the firm.

 four weeks in preparation rather than four days Miss Jackson played the exceptionally long and difficult part of Tea in a remarkably splendid way. It must be remembered that not only are the actors playing parts this week but that they are creating them as we'll Miss Jackson's work was very finished and was fully ap preciated by her audience.
 Miss Violet Barney added much zest to the play. and its only humor by her excellent portrayal Of Lady Erskine, the spirited American. The heavier character part Of Gaddi is spe1ndidIy given by John T. DWyer, while Lowell Sherman is particularly good in the less admirable part of del Drago.
 Bernard Thornton characterizes Pav1o, tha nusciian in a splendid way. Fred Roland is once more and EngIishman, a part in which he is always decidedly realistic.
 An unusually good Characterization of the old Prince di Cosimo is given by Frank Andrews, while in lesser parts are found Miss Beverly West as Nedda, the maid, Edward Darney as Etore OIdrini, Frank Herbert as Cavaletto, Thomas SYem as a ser want, and Frank 1deIrose as OsBGalley all of which are excellent.
 The play is given under the stage direction of Lowell Sherman.

AMATEUR PLAYERS
 IN 1.-THE MELTING
 POT" WIN LAURELS
Well Known Bridgeporters Are Well Received in
 Popular Play.

Before a large and fashionable au- dience the '. M c. A Dramatic club presented t'The Melting Pot, at the Park theatre last night. The produc- ton was sp1endid1y given and well de- served the hearty applause it receiv- ed. The players knew their parts perfectly the scenic equipment was good and as a whole the play went without a hitch. The fourth act scene, showing. New York harbor and the Statue Of Liberty, was exception ally fine.
 Nothing better in local theatricaIs has been seen than the work of the cast. Leo McElroy5 scored a personal triumph as MendeI Quixano. He por- trayed the part with the snoothness of a professional and so effective was his. disguise of whiskers that his best friends didn't recognize him until they looked at the program.
 ThomasA F. SWilmore, as the hero, David Quixano, was good, particular ly in the emotional scenes. Dorothy Smith puts lots of comedy into the and slles too, was well disguised. her red wig proving wonderful creation. Attorney sPhiIo c. Calhoun looked and acted like the real thing in the part of Quincy Davenport, an unemployed millionaire. Sam w. Davis was given
 
 pe1rneister, the orchestra leader.
 Marguerite Linehan made a favor able impression in the difficult part of Frau Quixano, the old woman who spent her time rnumbling her prayers and lamentfng the horrors of the new world. The audience waxed enthus- iastic over the acting of Miss Julia. Farnan, who appeared as Miss Vera Ravenda1, Miss Farnan looked charm ing and arose to every situation with dramatic skill.
 Baron RavendaI, the fiery Russian, was well done by F. w. Harrison and his temperamenta1 wife proved a fine role for Miss Isabel Baker. She dis played all the vivacity and petulance which the character called for and her acting was well received Mrs. Thomas B. Varin looked very pretty in the part of a maid.
 At the end of the third act numer- ous bouquets were presented to the players.
