BY HAYWOOD BROUN.

Somebody's Luggage" is a plausible
and amusing farce. Naturally ITS
logic is not that of life. but il never
allows things to happen which are
absolutely preposterous and absurd
Moreover. it is free from offence to
ANYBODY but prohibitionists. There
isn't a paiams in the place and not
even an offstsge bedroom.
James 7. Powers is the star ano
there are few minutes when ne rs not
on the stage. He works hard and I'M
Drovns upop acquaintance. Not very
funnv in the first act, he gradually
inqratiates himself until he gets the
most Of the comic possibilities OF Aets
and 3.
There are quite few unusual things
about Somebody's Luggage" Not
only does il refrain from stralnlnG the
credulitv Of the audience unduly, Dut
even allows a little intelligence TO re
main with some OF the characters III
Several members Of the cast begin TO
suspect that all is not well even before
he final curtain falls. AS a rule people
in farce will swallow anything. Inc
combinations arise because Alfred
Hopper, played by Jimmy Powers, gets
the wrong portmanteau. Beng lntoXi-
cated. he is shipped willy-nilly with
his bag to an estate which is expecting
a long-lost heir from Australia. Oi
course, nobody has seen I 80 heir, ana
Hopper fits in nicely.
The complications OF the play are
sufficient, without being elaborate. IL
is not a farce of the sort which be-
comes so entangled that denouement
becomes difficult, if not Impossible
There is no secondary or tertiary plot.
All the complications centre about
Powers. who finds enough to do IN ms
efforts to describe the habits OF the
kangaroo and TO escape an operation
Powers is richly endowed for farce
His face is much too preposterous Tor
comedy. w.
II is not a single track face. Horror
NAV fiji the eyes while the mouth is
all agrin. The progress Of an ldes
across this countensnce is interesting
One NAV watch il dawn in the upper
left corner and gradually proceed
south. We were particularly inter
ested in watching Powers because he
reminded Us Of somebody we knew
but il was not until the third act that
we thought of Clare Briggs.
Although Powers shoulders most OF
the responsibilities Of the play, he is

FIGHT OVER WINES
RACES IN SENATE
Missouri, California and Ohio in
Three.COrnered Battle.

Washington, Aug. 2S-Senators from
California, Ohio and Missouri engaged
in a three hour debate on amendments
defining taxable wines, the duty on
liquids used to fortify sweet wines and
the extent to which the pure food and
drugs act would permit the adultera-
ton of wines OF various grades. Sew
eral amendments were introduced pro-
posing changes in the wine provisions.
These were discussed at length by Sem
ators Phelan. Pomerene and Stone. Ac-
ton was postponed until tomorrow.
The three states represent the prin-
cipal wine producing sections, and the
Senator'S are vigorously opposed to any
advantage one state might obtain over
the other through the passage Of the
revenue bill

in particular, got deal Of fun out OF
conventional slavey part, and Lionel
Belmorc was also good as the villain
Of the piece. Betty Bellairs was an at

Agricultural Department

Assistant Horticulturist F. H. Eaton
has just returned from a trip through
the Turner region. where he was at
work on the inspection of orchards in
the Gregory contest.
Mr.. Eaton says that the farmers are
becoming greatly interested in every
thing said and printed about the white
pine blister rust. realizing that tho
pest, if once we'll rooted in Maine, will
cause enormous trouble and loss
Mr.. Eaton feels that this is a step
in the right direction, because he fully
realizes the danger that is threatening
the currant and gooseberry plants and
through them the white pine. He also
says that the warning to the people
cannot be made too strong, in order
that they shall begin measures to kill
out the pest. Look over the moist
lands and see If the wild bushes show
signs of yellow spots on the top and
rust or poWdery substances on the un.
der side. If you do. better destroy the
bushes. for that means the pest IS
present and will soon infect all other
bushes and the pine susceptible to it.

The Bath Brunswick Road

The immense amount Of travel over
the h-Brunswick make that piece
OF highway known to about everybody
IN the State. together with many thou
sands of visitors-therefore many thou
sands Of people will be Interested to
learn of the progress being made on
the State highway work between those
places by the State Highway Commits
sion. 1t is perhaps best told by the
following letter from Chief Engineer
Paul D. Sargent to F. B. Nichols of
Bath:
The people Of Bath are not more
disappointed than am over the Bath
Brunswick road. We have spent a
great deal of time in studying the sit
uatlon and particularly in an effort to
md suitable material from which TO
construct the Brunswick end Of the
road at an economical cost and so far
we nave not been able to reach any So
luton Of the problem. Indeed. I have
my two best men there again today to
make further study. If we can't d.
anything else but build from the quar-
ry at Hams Hill, as we are now doing
l will arrange to have the detour made
over the direct road from Brunswick
10 new meadows Inn. This may re-
lleve the situation little bit.
You probably are not aware of the
1act but we can't haul any load bv
machinery through the sand that lies
oil around that road and consequently
we are forced to build from the quarry
out. We are building the bottom
course and when we get that done will
plan to work back with the top course.
This Is the most difficult problem that
the highway commission has taken up
In the last three years"
