Our standards differ, too, in that
while the continental farce is thing
apart, generally based upon wild i'm
probability, the American theatergoer
divides the line between comedy and
farce largely by the number of times
he is made to laugh. If he laughs
much he calls it farce, otherwise II
is a comedy.
The result is the merging of the two
types so that the best farce is really
an amusing comedy. Their deftness Is
in their plausibility, their sympathy and
their intellectual appeal The deftness
of the continental farce" he says, is
mechanical construction, not deftness
of the softer qualities.

In bringing Little Lady in Blue" to
Washington for its first appearance Mr.
Belasco is following his established
policy of first getting the capitals YER
dict on his new plays before taking
them into New York. This will be the
third time Frances Starr has come here
to make her first bow in a new play,
the other two having been THE Case
Of Becky" and "Marie-Odile," both OF
which were given the Washington
stamp of approval and prospered else
where. Tomorrow nights event, how
ever. will mark a notable departure for
Miss Starr. because Little Lady in
Blue" is a comedy. the first in which
she has appeared since coming under
Mr.. Belasco's management.
In the course of her brief but sensa-
tionaI career under Mr.. Belasco Miss
Starr has won an eninence In her pro-
fession that makes her appearance in a
new play a notable event, and especial
ly SO when the play Is a Belasco pro-
duction.
While much of the nature of Miss
STAIRS new role is withheld In advance
of tomorrow nights performance. 1T is
hinted that the part is more nearly a
reflection of the real Frances Starr
than any in which she has yet ap-
peared AS Anne Churchill! she will be
seen as an English miss of scant means,
! though, good breeding, whose efforts
at regenerating young profligate are
, not without interest or success.

TEXAS BREAKS RECORDS
FOR DIPPING CATTLE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 29.-The
people of Texas have broken all rec
ords by carrying out both in July and
August more clippings to eradicate
cattle tick than have been performed
by any other state in a single month
The L. S. Department of Agricultures
field reports from Texas show for
July 760,846 clippings and for August,
74O,751 clippings under Federal and
state supervision. The reports from
the field indicate that cattle dipping is
being systematically carried out in
this state in large number of coun-
ties than ever before.
Mississippi holds second place for
the number of cattle clippings in a
single month. In August the people
of Mississippi had provided 1866 dip
ping watts and at these watts 705, 424
clippings of cattle were performed un-
der Federal or state supervision. This
Is an increase of IS watts and $4,000
clippings over the work accomplished
l.: that state during July. The legis-
lsture of Mississippi recently passed
law requiring that tick eradication
shall be taken up by every county af-
ter January /. The people of Missis-
sippi, however, are not delaying their
active campaign against the tick until
their state law makes this compulsory
upon them.

WHAT ABOUT WATSON

Thomas E. Watson, is the prevailing
belief in Atlanta, and the general ex-
pectation is that the Macon conven-
ton which meets next Tuesday will ~
on record with an Endorsement of the
president and of the democratic cor
gress in language that cannot be mis-
construed.
1t is believed that Albert Howell, Jr.,
the law partner and political adviser
of Hugh M. Dorsey, will counsel the
governor-elect to ignore the peremn-
tory demand contained in the latest
issue of Watsons paper, end insist
Hpon clean-cut Endorsement of the
party's presidential candidate and the
party's record in the administration of
national affairs.
The Atlanta Constitution, of which
Albert Howell, Jr., is president, de-
clares in leading editorial:
"The Macon convention is going to
i'.dorse Wilson; of course. 1t couldn't
do anything else"
The editor of The Constitution,
Clark Howell, is brother of Albert
Howell, Jr., and is democratic ma
tional committeeman from Georgia.
The Constitution supported Hugh Dor
sey Tor governor with great enthus-
iasm, and The Constitutions utterance
on the subject has been construed as
the final word. so far as Dorsey ana
Albert Howell. Jr., are concerned.
All of which gives rise to the ques-
tom
What will Watson do?

pen?
Or
Will he submit to open defiance of
his orders, and silently swallow the
