1t Is Jane Cowl and what she does with
her great third-act opportunity that have
obviously made the success Of Common
Clay" which appears at the National
Theater this week fresh from its long
run Of all last season in New York. There
ID tremendous human appeal in that
scene in police court, dominated by the
figure Of the prosecuted young mother,
whose sense Of injustice swells unsubdued
against the repeated attacks Of leagued
"respectability." Miss CowPs realism is
of the kind that provokes illusion and
compels sympathy, while her personal
charm Is such as to give the height of
poignancy to her emotional message. Her
performance in the role OF Ellen Neal Is
a delight throughout
The play is a good example of the
young Harvard school, with its direct
and ruthless onslaught against a So
cial, sore spot, and the author, Cleves
Kfnkead. has also furnished In Com
mon Clay" an instance Of the strange
timidity frequently seen in American
dramatists. which prevents them from
carrying a strong theme to its logical
conclusion The opening picture Of the
"OEAAnB SRI "no mas just caught BlmpSe6
Of the finer enjoyments of life, and whose
soul has been shared by those very as
pirattons. offers suggestion for a strong
and moving drama that should be a
landmark Of progress. For two and a
half acts the author carries on the line
with a Ugor and directness that shake
the fiimsy fabric Of masculine morality
till the pillars totter.
Then Of q sudden comes a stroke of
banality out Of worn-out melodrama. The
heroine proves to be the daughter Of the
Defendants attorney. and in an epilogue
really yields further to romance In order
that the young woman may turn out as q
famous prima donna and wed at last the
waiting father Of her child.
The Characters OF the play include a
number Of strikingly drawn and original
portrs1ts, and they are presented by a
cast with no weak members Judge Fill
SON. the prominent lawyer who proves to
be Ellen's father, is particularly well
drawn, and IL well acted by Henry
Stephenson. Kate Morgan has q special
triumph as Ellen's supposed mother, who
reveals the secret Of her birth while on
the witness stand. Orme Caldara is very
satisfactory as Hugh Fullerton, the young
man who takes advantage of the house.

sttncts come to the front Echlin Gaver's
portrayal Of the social souse' ana

entire cast and production are of Unusual
excellence.

E. H. Sothern's FareweH Tour
And Jane Cowrs Appearance in
Common Clay" Gather Plaudits
BeIa.co-.Tf Were King"

belasco-If i Were King"
With the prevailing spirit for photo
graphic realism. much OF which Is nee
essarily sordid because It lacks the re-
hning element of perspective, E. H.
Sothern's splendid revival Of that ex-
quisfte romance, IF were King at
the Belasco Theater, comes as a crafty
ing change.
Practically a new generation has grown
up since Mr.. Sothern first enacted Fran
co.'s Villon, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. In
Justin McCarthy's absorbing tale of love
and adventure In France OF the long ago.
Mr.. Sothern's art has advanced far since
that memorable night. but nothing he
has done since will be remembered longer
than his warm and human picture OF the
loveable vagabond who would be king.
He. therefore. very wisely chose this
stirring and delightful play to mark the
close OF his DISTINGUISHED career on the
American stage, and. furthermore, gen
erously contributes his portion of the
weeks receipts to the benefit Of the Brit
ish Red Cross
In the play villon gains the confidence
OF Louis XI, exalts himself to the rank
of leader of the kings armies, and saves
Paris by defeating the invading forces
OF Charles the Bold of Burgundy. Louis
goes forth in disguise to learn whether
treachery turks among his supposedly
loyal adherents and he meets Villon at
the tavern of the Fir Cone. Villon reads
his newest ballad, treacherous to the king
in intent. and telling what villon would
do II he were King Of France. Suspicious
OF Villon, Louis makes the adventurer
practically may or Paris, giving him
power well nigh absolute for one week,
at the end Of which he must die.
Villon, who loves q court lady. Kath-
crime DeVaucelles, sets about to win her.
Never does he dream that q lady Of
Katherine's rank would stoop to him. and
the King likewise doubts this utterly, and
adds ssrdonically that II Villon shall win
her fairly his life shall be spared. VII
Ion promptly wins Katherine, and she
goes with him into banishment.
The evening was most pleasant on the
acting side. The plays pleasing spirit
of poetic refinement Is splendidly de-
noted IN sustained gradation by the ex-
cellent cast which Mr.. Sothern has as
sembled-
George W. Wilson repeated his mastery
portrayal of the crafty Louis XII Of the
original production. We cannot think Of
anyone on our stage that could have
done the part better. Margaret Dale was
a quite satisfying Katherine, and Vir-
ginia Hammond an effective Huguette.
Albert Howson, Sidney Mather, Frank
Bertrand and Estar Banks stood out nota-
bly, in the many other roles The four set
tings and the costuming were most artis-
tic.

WINTER FEEDING FOR COWS
Good Milk Flow Cannot Be Expected

(By PROF. OSCAR ERR. Dairy Depart
ment, Ohio State University
You cannot expect cow to keep
up good milk flow without plenty of
feed of the right kind. Silage should
be used now to replace the grass ra-
tion. It is easy to forget that the
cows feed is being shortened, and il
the best returns are to be secured the
milk fow must be kept as high as
possible for ten or IL months of the
year. If it once goes down it is almost
impossible to raise it before the next
freshening.
Less feed will be required and bet
ter results secured if good barn is
used The dairy cow will not do her
best work when exposed to the cold
even though given plenty of feed. It
is cheaper and more effective to keep
her warm by means Of a barn than by
extra feed.

BOY TRAPS WHITE WEASEL
Pennsylvania Lad Catches Animal in
Rock Pile While Hunting
Rabbits.

Waynesboro, Pa.-Lloyd Carr, four
teen-year-old son Of Sherman Carr, is
entitled to wear the belt as the cham
pion weasel hunter. While hunting
rabbits along the Roadside road he
chased a weasel under rock pile on
the side of the hill. Believing that
there was weasel den under these
rocks the boy came to town and, Sc
curing a steel trap, set it in front OF
the hole. His efforts were rewarded
when he went to his trap and found
the next morning pure white weasel
dead in the trap. The animal was
beautifully marked, the body being a
creamy white, the feet and tip of the
tail light brown, and light brown
spot on the head between the ears. 1t
measured II inches.

the coops are near stove to guard
against overheating them or scorch-

The shanks and feet Of exhibition
fowls must be absolutely clean and
well polished. To overcome roMgh

cloth dipped in kerosene, and a
short time before the show wash them
thoroughly. Use good ACQUIRING soap,

Remove any old or rough scales and

In this country the law is so gen.
orally known that few persons try to
put across an actual lottery. They
usually try to rig up virtual lottery
so disguised as to escape the detec-

of view that it requires the closest
analysis and study to arrive at their
real nature. These include so-called
investment schemes, home-buying
propositions, endless-chain ideas and

offenders in their efforts to increase
circulation. A warning, however,
from the post Office officials is usually
sufficient to cause an abandonment of
the scheme.
One newspaper, however, appealed
to the courts from the decision OF
the post Office department not to per-
NIT copies of the paper to go through
the mails so long as it published a
scheme, which the department said
was a lottery. The court refused to
hold for the publisher.

ENDS 'HOODOO SHIP
Inflated. Steamer Goes Up In
Flames at San Juan.
Forest City Never Made Voyage
Without Mishap-Meets Accidents
of Every Variety Known to
Seagoing Vessels.

San Juan, p. R.-The burning Of the
four-masted American schooner For
est City in San Juan harbor few
nights ago marked the close of the Ca
reer of vessel long known along the
Atlantic coast as "hoodoo ship"
The Forest City came in here in
distress from Calahar. on the west
coast Of Africa with a cargo Of palm
Oil for New York. At 10 p. M, soon
after she was tied up at a bulkhead,
smoke was seen issuing from her for
ward hatch. The San Juan fire de-
partment hurried to the pier, and the
coast guard cutter Itasca and steamer
John E. Berwind pumped water into
the flames in the schooner's hold.
The burning oil, however, spread
rapidly. and after three-hour fight
the Berwind and Itasca towed the
blazing hulk out into the harbor near
the interned German ships, where, a
huge torch, she lighted the heavens,
while 10000 people on shore watched
the spectacle. Spurts of flame leaped
a hundred feet in air as the masts
went by the board. Finally the Itasca
fired three six-pound shells into the
schooner, below the water line, prac-
ticallyt completing her destruction, al
though part of the hulk burned until
next day.
The entire cargo was lost with the
ship. 1t was valued at $4,000, and
was built at Millbridge, Me-, in 1904.
She was owned by Frankel & Co. Her
captain, H. B. Allen, was making his
first trip as her master.
1t is said that the Forest City never
made a voyage without mishap. On
her last trip she was blown far out
of her course, and when she put into
San Juan she was leaking badly, with
several spars gone. Three of her crew
had contracted beriberi during her II
days run from Africa.
Several years ago, then being known
as the Myrtle Tunnel. she went fast
on Frying Pan shoals, off North Caro-
lima, and 1t was several months before
she was pulled off and towed into Sa-
vannah, bottom up. She was then re-
built and renamed Forest City, but it
did not change her run of luck. In
taking her away from the bulkhead
while she was afire she carried away
the bowsprit and part of the rigging
of the schooner Warren Adams,
moored near her stern, and nearly set
that vessel ablaze.
She has been twice waterlogged,
and In the winter Of 1912 she was so
badly battered in gale on the New
England coast that she put into Nam
tucket with spars broken of. her sails
torn away and her captain sick in his
cabin. To add to her misfortunes the
Sound froze and she was icebound for
a long time.
