rected to riding in motors as the cause of hitherto unexplained cases of heart disease in valuable dogs. It has been noted that certain breeds of dogs are more susceptible to the i'll effects than others. Spaniels are perhaps, of al! breeds, the most inclined 10 heart dis ease and. therefore. the most liable to suffer i'll effects from riding in motor cars.
 The swift moving car. with it's sud- den starts and stops, it's sharp turns and the flying panorama of people and things passing in rapid succession causes in dogs an unnatural excite ment. They sniff the air and watch with intense interest the people dodg- ing out of the way ahead. This ex- citement Is partly caused by the dog's instinct to save human life. for at every turn he perceives chance for res- cue, but primarily, this inclination is doubtless a direct result of the action on the heart caused by the strain on the optic nerves and brain.
 It Is well Known that all animals are uneasy and restless in being trans ported by mechanical means. The faster the transportation. and the more open the view has been. tho worse are the results. But the dog. being one of animals to which Is attributed almost human intelligence" naturally Is

NOT DULL MINUTE IN
 ADVERTISING PLAY

The value of advertising is well ex- emplified in the farcical fact in three acts, entitled It Pays to Advertise, . which comes to the Jefferson theatre on Thursday matinee and night, Mo- vember 4, under the personal direction of Conan X Harris. Replete with ad- vertisng wisdom, witty dialogue and humorous situations. there is never a dull minute during it's performance, and the frankness with which big ad- vertising firms are used freely without any attempt at flimsy disguise and what are supposed to be trade secrets are hurled over the footlights in a manner most amazing. That Is what makes Tt Pays to Advertise" the best advertised play in the country.

Go and watch Forbes Robertson's Hamlet, seizing delightedly on every opportunity for bit of philosophic dis cussion or artistic recreation to escape from the "cursed spite" of revenge and love and other common troubles; see how he brlghtens up when the players come; how he tries to talk philosophy with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern the moment they come into the room how he stops on his country walk with Horatio to lean over the churchyard wall and draw out the grave digger whom he sees singing at his trade; how even his fits of excitement find ex- prcssion in declaring scraps of poetry; how the shock of Ophelia's death re- lieves itself in the fiercest intellectual contempt for Laertes ranting, whilst an hour afterwards. when Laertes stabs him. he bears no malice for that at all. but embraces him gallantly and comradely; and how he dies as we for give everything to Charles II for dy- ing, and makes !" the rest Is silence a touching humorous apology for not being able to finish his business. See all that and you have seen a true and classical Hamlet. Nothing half so charm ing has been seen by this generation. It will bear seeing again and again.
 And please observe that this is cold Hamlet. He is none of your logi- clans who reason their way through the world because they cannot feel their way through 1t; his intellect is the organ of his passion; his eternal self-criticism is as alive and thrilling as 1t can possibly be. The great soliloquy-no; do not mean "to be or not to be- I mean the dramatic one, 70. what a rogue and peasant slave am Iris as passionate in It's scorns of brute passion as the most bullnecked affirmation or sentimental dilution of 1t could be. It comes out so without violence; Forbes Robertson takes the part quite easily and spontaneously. The lines help Forbes Robertson in- stead of getting In his way at every turn, because he wants to play Ham, let, and not to slip into his inky cloak changelng of quite another race It is wonderful how easily everything comes right when you have the right

man with the right man for it--how the story tells itself. how the charac- ters come to life.
 Forbes-Robertsons performance has a continuous charm, interest, and vari- ety which are the result not only of his well known familiar grace and ac- complishment as an actor, but of a gen uine delight-the rarest thing of our stage--ln Shakespeare's are and a nat ural familiarity with the plane of his imagination He does not superstitious- iy worship William; he enjoys him and understands his methods of expression Instead of cutting every line that can possibly be spared he retains every gem, in his own part or anyone else's, but he can make time for In a spirited ly brisk performance lasting three hours and a half with very short in- tervals. He does not utter half line, and then stop to act again, with the clock running away with Shakespeare's chances all the time. He plays as Shakespeare should be played on the line to the line, with the utterancc and acting simultaneous inseparable and, in fact. identical. Not for a mo- ment Is he solemnly conscious of Shakespeare's reputation or of Hamlet's momentousness in literary history; on the contrary. he delivers us from all these boredoms instead of heaping them Oii we loI6iNt tHe so engagingly are they delivered. His novel and astonishingly effective and touching treatment of the final scene is an inspiration from the fencing match onward. If only Fortinbras could also be inspired with sufficient force and brilliancy to rise to the war-lilse splendour of his helmet and make straight for that throne like man who intended to keep 1t against all corners he would leave nothing to be desired. How many generations of Hamlets, all thirsting to outshine their competitors in effect and originality, have regarded Fortinbras. and the clue he gives to able blunder of the poor, foolish this kingly death of Hamlet. as a wildly unpresentatble b1under of the poor foolish old Swan, than whom they all knew so much better; how sweetly they have died in that faith to slow music Like Little Nell in "The Old Curiosity shopW And now how com pletely Forbes Robertson has bowled them all out by being clever enough to be simple.

He Raised colored Cotton.

Remarkable results seem about to be
achieved by A. W. Brabham. of Olar. N. c.,
who has succeeded in producing cotton
which ranges in color from snow white to
a deep olive green. The planter asserts
positively that black cotton sought for
ages by spinners and manufacturers is
about to becomes a reality" says dis
patch from Savannah to the Philadelphia
Record.
THAT the statements of Brabham are
no idle dream is borne out by the receipt
in Savannah of samples of his colored cot
tons. The exhibit has been framed and
hung on the walls of the cotton exchange,
where it has occasioned general interest
and comment.
"Brabham has practiced seed selection
extensively and in four years has secured
in regular order from the Egyptian seed
cream, tan, yellow-green, light brown, olive
green and bronze. He is sanguine that
the assertion that black cotton is coming
in the near future.
ut is conceded by the trade that Brab-
ham is giving to the world most valuable
discovery. and that, as result, the dye
manufacturers of Germany, who have for
generations had monopoly on the bust
ness throughout the civilized world. and
especially in this country, will lose thereby
untold millions in trade"

Revival Meetings Held Under A Tent

Interest in the Gypsy Smith meetings at
Rockville continues to grow from night to
night. Sunday night proved to be the
banner night so far in the meetings, when
the SecO Hall was crowded to its utmost
capacity. notwithstanding the oppressive
heat, while many were unable to gain en-
trance
On Monday large tent was erected on
vacant lot opposite the postoffice. This
tent will accommodate seven or eight hun
dred persons. Moreover, being out in God s
open air affords much more comfort to the
worshipers these hot September nights
than being shut indoors. however beauti-
ful and cOmmOdious the building may be.
Because of this change and the growing
interest in the meetings, it is expected
that this week will far surpass the atten-
dance on last week, although that was,
perhaps, beyond the expectation of many.
Gypsy Smith, Jr., is great preacher.
He is following closely in the footsteps of
hN illustriOus father, who, some years ago,
stirred this whole continent with his mes
sage and zeal for Christ. If you fail to
hear him. you have missed something that
will do you good. Tuesday night, the first
service in the tent. was largely attended
A welcome invitation is extended to the
people of the county to come and be par
takers, together with us, of these blessings.
The meetings will continue every night
this week, including Saturday night, and
not next Monday. beginning at s o'clock
