voluminous voice and deliberate manner
fitted the character quite exactly. He
roared and chuckled and called down
servants with all the grace and vigor
Of q MEDIEVAL lord. He provoked many
hearty laughs, but registered his best
when all his spunk and bravado van
ished before his wife. Mary McGuirk
held down the part of Catherine Pc
koff's vigorous and buxom wife. Mary
was not always free from stage fever,
but since her part involved much blus-
tering her own uneasiness was usually
concealed in the character she was rep
resenting. But Mary proved real
"game." She did her best to bring
her age to about fifty, henpecked her
man and bulldozed her maid to per-
fection. All through, she received her
part of the applause.
Wesley Curtis acted as saranoff, the
young Bulgarian major, engaged to
Raina. The part was not an easy one
for Wesley, since it involves much love
making. But by dint of much rehear-
sal he managed to spur himself into it,
and by the time the play was on Wes-
ley threw himself whole-souled into
his part. In bearing and changes of
attitude he held up the part consist
emily. His voice and manncl
in his favor.
The part of the house servant was
enacted by Arthur Fordham. 1t re-
CURED some effort to make him humble
and submissive as the part needed, but
since his lot in life of Nikola made
HIM the recipient of insults constantly,
Arthur, in his part, worked into the at.
titude of humility and so remained.
Louka, the spicy maid, of the Pet
koff household, was Ethel Hutchinps.
She worked right into her part from
the beginning. She studied and re-
hearsed the play with uncommon dill
gence, with the result that she inter.
preted and rendered the character with
a remarkable degree of accuracy. Not
single hit in her part was lost. She
knew Louka to perfection and could
take her off to the delight of the audi
ence For a beginner, she performed
with high degree of skill.
Th audience was appreciative
throughout. The laughs came with
greater frequency and volume as the
play progressed-a fair indication that
the interest was on the increase. After
the performance very favorable COM
ments were heard on all sides. In fact
many were quite lavish in their praises
of the production.
Chalmer Noren and Meldon BRYANT
sang and Mrs. Montandon recited "The
Cremation of Sam McGee," one of
Services Alaskan poems. All interacts
fitted well in the program and were
well greeted by the audience.
After the performance all who had
assisted in the evenings entertain,
ment were given "feedn at the
White restaurant. Here all wits were
turned loose without restraint. The in
cident proved fit ending for the &C.
tivities of the evening.

May Bloom Again

LONDON, Jan. 30.-The Journal OF
the Mesopotamian Board of Trade tells
of the irrigation projects which are
now being carried out in the valley OF
the river Huphrates. Regarding the
immense benefits which might be de-
rived fro msystematic irrigation. the
Journal says:
''In olden times lower MesopOtamia
as a result of artificial irrigation, was
a forest of perennial verudre and q
country Of great cities thrOnged with
throwing population.
1.-THE dread hand of the Turk has
pressed heavily upon Mesopotamia and
it's people. In the past it was great
country. In the future it may again
become great country, but at present
it is moribund. Yet the rich soil re
tains life. A wonderful recovery is
within possibility and Great Britain has
solved more difficult problems in the
empire tina mare presented by the re-
storation of Mesopotamia-
improvements of great importance
have been made in the channel of the
Shatt-el-Arab which is the river
formed by the confluence of the Eu-
pirates and Tigris rivers. Ocean-go-
ing steamers may now go up the river
from the Persian Gulf as far as Nahr-
lunar, which is about twelve miles
above Basra-
Heretofore, small steamers were
compelled to load and unload by
means of lighters or native boats at
these two towns. Under the present
arrangement the disCharging capacity

his daredevil, reckless courage in
turning corners and heading into
jams of traffic at top speed with his
siren screaming.
That their father was edging to-
ward the sewing machine on which
lay the pistol, and that his hand leap
ed out to get the pistol and that his
expression frightened them because
he looked like he was going to shoot
them all, was the interesting testi-
mony given yesterday at the coron-
er's inquest by Pierce and Henry Alb
bolt. the sons who saw their motehr
shoot their father through the heart.
They said their father was angry and
was quarreling in violent manner
with their mother, and all the time he
was edging over toward the sewing
machine.
This testimony was substantiated
by L. H. Fem, father of Mrs. Abbott,
who was present in the living room of
the Abbott home when the shooting
occurred. He swore that Abbott had
his eye on the revolver and moved
closer toward the sewing machine.
Mrs. Abbott has retained the SER
vices of Reuben r. Arnold to defend
her, in case she is brought to trial.
She was bound over yesterday to the
grand jury at the conclusion of cor
oner's inquiry into the circumstances
of the killing.

SAILORS TELL
OF OUR GREAT
l4-INCH GUNS

NEW YORK. Jan. 30.-The story OF
the success of the American land bat
terry of 14-inch naval guns, as told by

ashore to get" the German supergun
which was Smelling Paris. The gun was
removed, it was said, before the bat
teries could not get into action, but the
Lavy men had the satisfaction of
smashing away at the German line for
several months before the armistice
was signed.
The shells fired by the naval gums,
according to 1.-THE Big o." were almost
twice the size of those fired by the Ger
man supergun, and on one occasion
an exploding shell landed in hut
where 100 Germans were watching a
motion picture show, and when the
American troops later reached the
spot, forty Identification tags were all
that could be found to tell the fate o.
the party.
The naval guns habitually fred at 8
range of from twenty to twenty-one
miles, the article said, and more thar
800 rounds had been fired when the
armistice was signed 1t would have
been necessary to have removed the
guns for refining within short time
