if Hamlet slumps too prodigiously. blu,
it would be an unheard-of thing for a
New York audience to rise and cry In
unison: "Take him outl"
The same people who will not sit in
silence and watch the pitcher of a
second division baseball team toss
away a game will allow an actor to
throw every value in great drama
over the fence. and raise not whisper.
Art will be ever SO much more i'm
portant in America when people feel
more passionately about it. 1t is en-
tirely possible that we will never
realize our fullest possibilities In any
field of art until we have learned to
boo and to hiss. 1t might be we'll also
If we could care deeply enough to hurl
pop bottles at an actor and cry "Kill
the author" Certainly our theatre
is polite institution. 1t plays for
the appreciation of the audience, seldom
for its enthusiasm. The manager and
the author are content if they can
please their people. They do not seek
to arouse them. That would involve
taking a chance. Ours is deuce
drama, back to back at best, but in
volving no greater risk at any time
than one white chip. or perhaps two red
ones. Some da va playwright will pile
one conviction on top of another, add
his heart and his soul and then shove
them all forward in a glorious gamble
which will leave him stripped or
triumphant.
Those are the things which do not
happen when art is aling and fear
some. And yet occasionally there is
genuinely exciting performance in
New York. There was one the other
night at the Neighborhood Playhouse
when Copeland played and the Dun
cans danced. At the end of the first
number one man remarked in a loud
voice, "lf those were my children I'd
spank them and send them home to
bed" He could not be heard because
the person on his right applauded so
violently. and because others to his
left were shouting for All encore. Thus
there was genuine, wholehearted con-
tention In the audience. There was
room for violent likes and dislikes.
1t is probably true that most fine
works of art require equally fine aud;x
ences. but there seems to be an almost
universal appeal in certain phases of
good dancing. A number such as the
Marche Lorraine" or the "Marche Mil
itaire' when danced by the Duncans.

all sorts of people into the beat and

something OF the tug of soldiers march

spectator does not merely watch. In
extreme cases he may find himself
hammering out the beat with hand or
foot, but in any case the movement

marching to music. Perhaps the ex-
citing thing about marching is that it
means getting away from the spot
where we are and going to God knows
where.

A NEW FRUIT-By Frederic j. Haskin

citrus fruit production in Alabama in recent years
1t is doubtful if it would be successful in our west
states. The dryness of climate of the west
especially in California, is bar to grapefruit cul
ture and the similarity of the tangelo to the grape
fruit is noticeable in climate and soil required
The fruit is grown by budding stock obtained
from nurseryman. About three years after bud
ding the bear, but not commercially for six or
seven years. The young trees demand steady care
and attention to protect them from frost, fungus
and insect pests. The fact that the fruit now
brings good price in the market, and the demand
for high grade yield, Offset the amount of trouble
taken to produce perfect fruit.
One of the grave dangers to citrus fruit culture
is frost Statistics show that one million, five hun
dred thousand boxes of grapefruit and three mil
lion boxes of oranges have been shipped from
Florida this year. This is ziy fifty per cent of the
normal production because of the heavy frosts
which for two seasons have made serious inroads
into the fruit crops.
Besides this reduction of domestic supply,
market will be further depleted by the recent
embargo on importation of fruits from Cuba. How
ever, acute shortage of southern fruits is not
imminent still be brought by ferry and
railway and certain steamships, and citrus fruit
production in the United States is on the increase
in spite of setbacks. The new fruit will take the
place of some fancy Cuban fruits which have been
displayed in high priced fruit stores.
The origin of the name tangelo is not at first ap
parent to many persons accustomed to call the
pomelo By the popular name of grapefruit shad-
dock. The fruit given a shortened
bination of the names of the parent trees-tanger
inc and pomelo.
The department of agriculture believes that the
tangelo will make name Tor itself If properly
grown and marketed and that it will be household
breakfast fruit when once it is being produced
tensively enough to be sold cheaply. Just now the
amateur is not being urged to invest in a tangelo
grove. One, or several, of the new trees might ad-
vsedly be planted and studied by individuals with
view toward commercial culture when the pecu-
liarities and requirements understood This
is the method adopted by both amateur and pro-
fessional growers. Often professional grower
will experiment with number of the fancy fruits
hybrids, planting them in among the trees of
his grove.
The tangelo tree in blossom is beautiful sigh:
1t is desirable feature Of the home garden in
citrus growing states. The old English custom of
planting orange lemon trees for decoration is
being adopted in this country, and the tangelo is
advocated a hardy evergreen requiring little
more care than any other tree OF citrus stock

WORKING FOR OTHERS
BY H. Addington Bruce.
you tell me that you are tired of working for
Y other peOple-that you want to be indie
pendent, want to be your own boss.


If by that you mean that you want to be in i
position to attain certain praiseworthy ambitions

tions l have no word of criticism for you
You should. indeed, make every effort to
arrange matters that you will gain the opportunit?
denied you.
But if it is mere discomfort rather than ambi-
ton that motivates your longing for independence
let me offer a friendly word of warning.
So long as you work at all, if you were to live
to be a hundred you could not do anything but
work for other people, never could you really be
your boss.
The only people in this vast universe of ours
who really their bosses the parasitic
idlers-the street corner loafers and the gilded
Migrants who do scarcely useful act from
years end to years end
They certainly do exactly as they choose to do.
But what sensible man would want to put himself
in their class?
Presidents, kings, diplomats, lawmakers
clergymen. captains of industry-there is no one
who, if he be usefully engaged, is entirely master
Of his comings and gongs.
He has certain responsibilities to meet, certain
services to render, which he must meet and rem
der as surely the humblest toiler fixed to a de-
finite schedule Of hours.
And when the seemingly independent one fails
to do his work properly, he is as surely penaized
as is the toier who earns discharge because OF
shiftlessness or incompetence.
The world, for that matter, abounds in human
derelicts whose craving for independence really
masked reluctance to do work of any kind.
They could not stand being bossed, they pro-
claimed So they struck out for themselves. Then
thew found that they could not stand the boss
ing of customers clients, patients, as the case
might be.
''People are so unreasonable they grumbled
20 themselves They expect always to be at
their beck and call. But we have rights of our
own and must insist on them
From this it easy transition to the IA
tai philosophy that society owes every man a liv-
ing So society does, if the man works diligent-
" and intelligently to earn that living.
otherwise there is trouble ahead No work,
no paw That is the rule And the one who pays
is always directly or indirectly boss
Is it because you are ambtious-or because
you lazy?
If the former, work a bit harder and bit
longer than you have been doing. Work at home
to Increase your ability for bigger things. And
keen YOUR eyes open for every chance to rise.
II the latter if laziness underlies your discon-
tent stop grumbling and buckle down to work.
This really is the best way you can obtain the
moral discipline you evidently need.

HANG THEM

When the German submarines DESTROYED tbs

shipping, they made small effort at courtesy in
allowing the passengers to get away in the boats
They did not cut their Threats nor make them

But they left helpless women, none the less
to the mercy Of an oncoming storm, exposed in
frail craft to almost certain death.

A Great Fourth.

American citizens everywhere will respond
enthusiastically to the request of President VIII

wear the Fourth of July be celebrated in a manner
suitable to the great event it represents.

there been a broader recognition of the principles

on the bloodstained fields of France that human

flag leading the hopes and victories Ct millions, it
becomes the duty as we'll the privilege Of all
those remaining at home to rally to the nations

Through Governor Dorsey head of the Georgia
Council of Defense, the message has gone forth all
over the state; the organized womauhood of Geor-
ga is interested in the patriotic movement, and
without doubt in every town and hamlet there will
be a gathering of the people that day. Every
man, woman and child should make point of
attending of these rallies.
The day is to be of public citizenship in
which every person shall participate. Simplicity
will be the keynote of the programs, for the spirit

w ASHINGTON D. c., June 2S.-After twenty
Wv years of experiment, the tangelo, new
fruit with the good points of both the tan
gerine and grapefruit is on the market. Florida
and east coast hotels serving this fruit as
special novelty, and jaded epicureans speak favor
ably of the latest fashion in breakfast appetizers.
Just the supply of tangeIos is decidedly
limited but the department of agriculture is work
ing the introduction of the product and we shall
soon find the tangeo for sale at our nearest fruit
stand.
About 1897, the bureau of plant industry de-
Cided that fruit with the easily removable rind of
the tangerine and the tang of the grapefruit slight
" modified, would be decided addition to the
fruit list. With the aid of several growers and
scientists experiments started in Florida, and
various combinations of citrus fruits tested, at
first with Indifferent success Untiring study mai
ly yielded some ffy-seven varieties all successful
though not all suited for commercial production.
Two hybrds promising enough for extensive rails
ing ntensvely tested and improved and are
now being raised commercially in South Dade coun-
ty, Florida. Others still being deveopoz-in this
country and in the Philippines.
The two varieties especially arzroved by the
department OF agriculture me Thornton and
the Sampson, both named for Ehe men who made
the successful tests resultirs in these types. In
appearance these hybrids re across between the
tangerine and grapefruit from which they were
evolved. They have thu coloring of orange
and the so-caled kid 81 i've skin of the tangerine,
rather too thin for preserving. In SIZE as in ap-
pearance, the tangelO is betwixt and between,
reaching under favorable conditions the proper
tions of an unusually large orange. Its flavor
can best be described that of a grapefruit,
without its bitterness but still retaining its pun
gent tang The Thornton is OF particularly good
flavor and has the additional recommendation that
it has the grapefruits tendency to squirt juice
in the eye of the eater if attacked suddenly.
The Thornton ripens in late winter and the
Sampson in spring and early summer. Long be-,
fore it is ripe for picking the fruit takes on Its
golden color. This feature is causing the depart
ment anxiety, inexperienced growers are
liable to ship the fruit pTematurey 1t then reaches
the market still unripe and produces bad impress
sion at a time when a particularly good one is
needed, if the fruit is to be used generally.
The tangelo has been tested chiefly in Florida,
tut it is believed that it may be grown in any state
producing grapefruit Experimental growers are
hopeful that it will be adaptable to Alabama plant
ing conditions, far it is not easily susceptible
to the citrus canker, disease that has threatened

Those WGr Savings Stamps.

When all is said there is but important
meaning to the fact that Atlanta and Georgia did
not subscribe their full quota Of War Savings
Stamps on June the twenty eighth, the day set
apart for that purpose. 1t simply means that the
City and State will buckle to this patriotic task
more earnestly than and keep working until
they have done, not merely much. but a good
deal more than is asked of them. Atlanta easily
take five million dollars worth of War Savings
Stamps, and Georgia easily take ffty-seven
ard "a half millions worth. They have an abund-
aucc both Of the resources and OF the loyalty re-
iuircd. But they viii not measure up 20 what is
expected Of them until the rank and file realize
that War Savings Stamps not for children only
but Tor and women well and that these
baby bonds" constitute absolutely safe and
Gingularly profitable investment The children
have done splendidly. They have put their pen
MES and nickels into Thrift Stamps and have turn
cd these into War Savings Stamps, certificates,
to the extent of hundreds of thousands, even mil
lions Of dollars. Let the grownups now do as well,
and Georgia's quota, including Atlantas. will soon
be subscribed Subscribed it must be for the good
name of the City and the Commonwealth, and for
the sake of our boys lover there
