Pepper berries are the basis of an
ancient and still cherished beverage
in Peru, which is popularity known as

a pepper berry in the first plump

that the bitter resinousness is over

VENICE HAD FIRST rHEATER
Buildings Designed Solely for Perform.
ances Were Erected In the Italian
City In the Year 1929.

The theater proper began in Venice
in 1929 when comedy and melodrama,
hitherto presented on temporary
stages erected In the squares or in the
halls of palaces, passed into buildings
especially made for that purpose. Pom
peo Molmenti, the Italian historian, re-
lates that the earliest genuine musical
drama heard in Venice was the Pro-
serpinaarapita of Giulio Strozzl, set to
music by Caudio Montevarde. From
1887 onward theaters rose so rapidly
that by the close of the Seicento they
numbered IS in Venice; some were
devoted to comedy, others to music,
others again were used indifferently
for comedy or melodrama. Almost all
the theaters belonged to noblemen who
reserved boxes for themselves and
took the rent for the buffet. The Coun-
Gil of Ten settled the hour of the per-
formance and the length of time 1t
might take. The advertisements were
posted at the piazzetta and at Rialto,
while criers went through the town to
announce the play and the hour when
the house would open.

The Money CoWrx.

The occurrence of the money cowry
in Iceland and England has curious
origin. This species, n native of the
tropics, is used as current coin in GER
tain parts of Africa. Some years ago
1t was very abundant on the coast of
Cumberland near the mouth of the
Calder river. The specimens are be-
lieved to have come from the Glen
dowra, a vessel wrecked off Seascale
in n fog in 1878. She was homeward
bound from Mamma and carried 60 tons
of cowries as part of he- cargo. AS
this means about 10000 600 shells, it
may well be that money cowries will
be picked up on our northwestern
coasts for many years to come. Those
found earlier on the coasts of Down,
Ireland, were supposed to have come
from slave ship wrecked in the neigh
bOrhood.

TO BE ADVANCED
Public Treasury Will Be Relieved
of Burden of Meeting Deficits

EDITORS POLL IN CONGRESS.
Heavy Vote for Return of Roads
Arouses Interest at the Ma
tionaI Capital.

washington-The national POLL OFT
the railroad question by 6,oJ0 news
paper editors throughout the country
has aroused great interest at the ma
tional capital. With SO per cent. of
the editors giving it as their Impartial
opinion that the public favors an early
return of the railroads TO their own
ers and only IL per cent. favoring Gov
ernment ownership or operation. the
members OF Congress of both polit
icsi papSes propose to provide speed
lily for the Legislation to make Ii pos
sible TO restore the roads to private
management before the end of the
year.
In Congress there is a general agree
ment that the following steps will have
to be taken before the roads are re
turned to their owners:
/. An advance in rates to meet the
greatly increased cost of labor and
materials in order that the Public
Treasury may be relieved of the bur
den of meeting monthly deficits and
the roads made sef-supporting. The
Director General of Railroads states
that the increase in rates thus far is
about % per cent as compared with
an increase in operating costs of from
80 to 90 per cent
.. Greater naturalization of public
control of transportation-a single
public control In the Federal Govern
ment In place of 40 masters in the diff
ferent States, with conflicting laws
and regulations.
3. Legalization of consultations and
common use of lines and facilities
whenever in the public interest.
4. Assurance through an act of Con
gress that in the future the Govern
ment Will approve Of rates for freight
und passengers that will not only be
fair to the public, but fair to the roads.

One Of the interesting things that
took place during the war. and was not
announced to the public, although 1t
became known to many, was the first
use of apparatus to transmit speech
from the earth to the upper air. In
proving the utility of this newly in
vented system of wireless telephony,
President Wilson himself directed the
evolution of squadron of military air
planes. which seems, incidentally, to
have been the first time in the history
of the United States when the presi-
dent, as commander in chief of the
army. directed orders by word of
mouth to any military subordinate low
er in rank than general. The episode
was kept secret for good military rea
sons, as was shown when the new
method of communication was put in
practice in France. 1t enabled avia-
tors to speak with one another and
with officers on the ground. and was
at once great help to the allies and n
puzzle to the enemy.

 There are drinking ball players and then some, but Ledbetter has the edge on all of them. This is not by way of saying that Ledbetter can drink any of them under the table, in accordance with the good old boast but that he has the ad- vantage of them when it comes to pro viding himself with the booze any time he feels a craving for a drink.
 Ledbetter comes from the North Caro- lima mountains and possesses d secret recipe, they say, known only to the noun taineers, by which he can make his own whisky He doesn't have to set up still in the basement of his home to do it, but can turn out fairly drinkable liquor with a simple little apparatus in very short time. Those who have joined him in hese little bits of manufacture say that he can make stuff to entertain even discriminating and fastidous lover of the wine when it is red.
 If the amateur distiller can be kept in line for the Travellers he ought to be winner for Elberfeld and ought to help give rest to Kid Elberfeld's S jaded quar- tet of Robinson. Karr, Hengeveld and Stone.

Swinging the Peevy
 Instead of the Mitt

It may be sport to swing the stingng mitt, but it is a long wait between big matches. And competition takes lot of fun out of it for the man who depends on the sporting ring for his regular three meals per day and extras. Sports are great for the top-notchers, but they just miss for the e999 others
 But up in the numbering forests of the North Woods, where the snow falls white and deep in the winter, there IS sport that lasts all year round Sport that never lacks excitement. It fills the veins with fighting red blood, and gives the true sport the life he has wished for, the 100 per cent active outdoor life He can wield a lusty axe in the nipping cold days, drag a chain. dodge falling giant trees. And in the summer he can engage in the great perilous sport of the numbering regions; he can float the trees down stream Poised on rolling logs, he swings peevy and shouts in the freedom of the outdoor life
 The lumber regions. north, south, east and west, want men, big, strong men only, men of adventuresome pioneer spirit And in particular they want ex-sodiers For soldiers have learned how to use their minds quickly, how to handle their muscles and how to bear up under ex- citement.
 Col. Arthur Woods, special assistant to the Secretary of War, is trying to find jobs for all ex-service men through his many unemployment agencies He advocates the numbering camp. He does not advocate it as a sport He speaks of it as good. steady job, with gool steady pay But it is fun And it is muscle building And it beats any com .nercial sport of big cities hollow
