Organization Of a volunteer life-sav.
ing corps to reduce the number OF
drownings in the upper Potomac will be
perfected at a meeting Of canoeists and
swimmers In the board room Of the
District building. August Q. at 4:a0 p. m.
This was decided yesterday when
about forty Of the canoeists met in the
office Of Major Pullman and listened to
the plan advanced by Wilbert e. Long
fellow. Of the frst-aid department Of
the National Red Cross.
Part Of Mr.. Longfellow's plan Is to
arouse city-wide interest In the cam
paign to reduce the number Of drown
ings. With this as his object, he has
planned stereopticon lectures for the
next few days. The first Of these lee
lures will be held tomorrow night
either in the board room at the District
building or in the rooms of the Cham
ber Of Commerce. The second lecture
will be held Saturday night at one Of
the bost houses near the Aqueduct
bridge. Both lectures will be open to
the public.
To Teach Life-Saving.
Each day this week Mr.. Longfellow
will give special instructions in life
saving work at the Municipal bathing
beach. He will devote Sunday to a
tour OF the canoe clubs and camps
along the shores of the upper river. CIV
ing practical demonstrations before the
members Of each.

amusement In such a way that no one
has been found who objects to It. And.
In a way, it Is returning to the f1rst
principles OF the drama which were to
Instruct rather than amusc.
1T Is a feature Of the modern move
ment in the theater." Miss Clayton said,
when some one asked her about her
reasons for producing the play, that a
large class Of people ask for something
real and vital In their amusements.
Slarstick farce or the eternal triangle
no longer satisfy large section of the
public. They wish to be amused and to
have their emotions stirred. but at the
same time there must be some basis OF
serious meaning beneath the dramatic
offering. Those who have the interest
OF humanity at stake have been quick to
take advantage OF the new tendency.
and we find now in all branches OF the
thenter. entire plays or single scenes
which are obviously intended to leave an
aftermath OF thought.
You ask me If this Is good dramatic
art? Why not? In any art there are
two aspects-subject matter and treat
ment. Why should a play be less In
teresting. less appealing. because its
sui biect Is a vital one--the stock subjects
Of love. jealously. villainy. have been &C
overworked in the theater that they
have become hackneyed. and by them
selves alone are absolutely incapable OF
fresh treatment
