The Plays Names the Thing.

II has taken the moving pictures 10
put TO a final proof the right which
the owner Of a play is supposed to
possess In its title. The contents may
be protected. The name may be used,
although It has not often happened
that the title OF a successful drama
was deliberately converted to the de-
sCriptlon OF another work.
1t was quite evident, however. that
the name of a play was Of value when
It came to the moving pictures. It
was entirely possible 70 take the name
OF some successful drama and use
with II n story which bore no relation
TO the original. In such n case the
name was OF chief moment. That
attracted the public. Only the owner
OF the play suffered. When that was
put into Il moving picture play. IS
value was gone. The man who used
the popular name for HIS own pur-
poses had destroyed It's commercial
worth.
Now /. has been legally held that
there may be protection for the title
OF a drama az well as for its content.
The effect OF that decision will be TO
make the name Of a play much more
important than Il ever vas VIII Il
even go &c far as 10 prevent the fire.
quent Use OF titles? In many ca . the
same title has served for works widely
different IN character. Think OF The
Wife," so often revived. and OF who's
Who?', which recently was repro
duced after years OF desuetude. Titles
often recur IN this way. and there has
never been any legal effort 70 prevent
their repetition.
This was in a measure true because
the life OF a play Is short. To revive
. title that had been used n score Of
years before was not worth while 70
managers, since the play which was
originally described in that way had
ceased 10 possess any commercial
value. Then everybody Interested in
the question knew, for example. that
The Wife" by Bri ,sCo and De MILF
was not tn. pay by SHERIDAN
KNOWLES.
The titles ~ plays are rarely Of
consequence In determining their Gate.
Managers always cast about to find
excuses for failures. They have been
known 70 attribute public refntation
OF the infallIbilitv Of Their Judgment
TO the un,urky title OF the production
damned. Dion B~orCICAULr used 70
say that the name Of a pay should
be- understood by everybody or nobody.
Certainly the names OF his Irish plays
We're ,ncomprehenslhle enough.
Henceforth the playwrirhts will
have 10 be more inventive.

 Thousands of well-meaning persons consider the subject from this stand- point. "Go about with chip on your shoulder and somebody will knock it off sooner Or later," they say.
 Look at China. It never had a chip on it's shoulier. It never had a navy worthy the name. Soldiers are ot low caste and unpopular. Whenever it has been attacked, mostly unjust.y it hasn't been able to defend itself.

MORE CROPS, LESS sELLAGRA.

"Diversification" means, not only raising the things We eat but that We snail have more things t. eat, and more important still, it means less pellagra, according to the theory of q scientist who has spent years investi- gating the causes of the disease. To corn and salt pork the disease was formerly attributed, but this scien- tsts theory is that it's cause is too much corn and too much salt meat rather than just corn bread and salt pork. In other words one-crop diet.
 It is known fact that the negroes and poorer white tenants live year in and year out on strong coffee, corn rones and salty grimy pork. If they escape pellagra they are liable to at tacks of the scurvy.
 While diversification is the present watchword. why not diversity the diet as well as the crops and make the campaign a fight against pellagra as well as the one-crop system.

CHAPTER 2.

CHAPTER 2.
 Then fourteen years after I wen1 up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas and took Titus with ne also.
 2. And I went up by revelation and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain. 3. But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was con- pelled to be circumcised.
 4. And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage.
 5. To whom we gave place by sub jection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
 6. But of these who seemed to be somewhat Whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God ac- cepteth no mans person:) for th'ay who seemed to be somewhat in con- ference added nothing to me:
 7. But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncir- cumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
 :. 8. Cor he that wrought effectu- ally in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
 9. And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, per- ceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that We should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

THE FUNNIEST WAR STORY.

The funniest war "cahlegram' printed yet appeared in that journal of rectitude and upper 400, the Ne" York Herald. It was copyrighted. too, with all rights reserved. It tal'l of Belgian and German sailors arsu ing on their ships at pier in Madrid Spain, and told how they were prec
 itated into the water and that final ly the authorities had to put t1ei'' boats at different piers. As Madrid is 2O00 feet above sea level and. the oriy body of water near it is the Manzana- res river which in this country would be called a creek, it is evident thai somebody blundered.
