Hired Applause
Must Be Barred in
French Theatres
HUE "

Paris, Oct. 9.-Thcatrical mana
gers and actors of this city are ag
reed that hired applauders must go.
The "claquo' as the French call it.
is as old an institution as the French
theatre itself. 1t flourished in the
days of Francis Villon and from
generation to generation until the
present time.
The Federation of Theatre Work
ers has demanded its elimination and
calls it anti-democratic. Equality
in success and in failure they claim
should rule.
Thus the six seats in the rear of
the orchestra circle, the ten or more
strong arm men were wont to rent
the air with their air-splitting and
nerve-wrecking applause will be
silent. Nearby spectators will not
complain.

Mexico's Attitude Toward United States
One of Studied Estrangement, Declares
Novelist Who Served as Consul i'm 1917

New York, Oct. 9.-George Agnes
Chamberlain, novelist and big game
hunter, former United States consul
general to Mexico, who in cable
message to Washington last August
l relinquished a career covering II
years in the consular service to de-
vote his time to writing" was found
by a representative of The Associa.
ted Press here today busily engaged
in revising the final proofs of his
forthcoming book, "Not All the
Kings Horse" which, he said is a
fresco portraying actual conditions in
the country south of the Rio Grande.
Mr.. Chamberlain served the Ameri-
can government at Bahia, Rio Janeiro,
Pernambuco, Lourenco Marques and
at Mexico City, going to the last
named post in May 1917. His exper-
fences in the Mexican capital cover
ing a period of two years, he said, and
what he regarded as an individual
people the facts, precipitated his
resignation. Since that time he has
been in practical seclusion in New
York. He said he had no political or
commercial affiliations whatever,
that he wrote as mere American
citizen and that the state department
was in nowise implicated in his "radi-
cal private views"
Scores Senate
The former consul general declared
that the Mexican problem resolves it
self into two major divisions; expos-
ton and solution. At present he was
interested in turning the light upon
the shameful years" during which
his government and fellow country
men had been subjected to indignity
and outrage. Every American citizen,
Mr. Chamberlain asserted, is vitality
concerned in the "intolerable" cond-
tions which have existed in Mexico
the past eight years, if he does not
wish to see ''the American conception
of justice, allegiance and patriotism
made a laughing stock to the world. !"
One other circumstance that caus
ed him to resign, he said, was Am
bassador Fletcher's "recent hailing

said Mr. Chamberlain: "Can you

Superstitions in
Agriculture Are
Backed BY Facts

washington, Oct. 9.-Ihe pobiem
Oh making agricultural superstilions
INTO scientific Data Is beng studied
by experts OF the department of ag-
ola maXlms handed down from fatn-
CT TO son tor generations are not
really superstltlons at all, but help
lul Information discovered by keenly
observant persons.
Everybody has heard some of the
ola maXlms. They deal with every
variety OF agricultural operation.
Bean planting, for instance, never
was done by the foretathers OF the
present generation except at the
TIME OF the blossoming of the black
Derry bushes. When the catkins had
formed on the maple trees, it was a
sign from nature that early garden
my might commence. And toward
the close OF the season, warning OF
frost was given by the maturing of
cockleburgs.
Now, the department of agricul-
ture, declares that there is a best
time for every farm and garden ope-
ration and that some tree or shrub
or plant indicates that time more ac-
struments can register it, 1t is those
signs which were noted by the plo-
neers who laid the foundations of
this country and recorded in the SIM
pie saying handed down to posterlty
soon they will be dignified with the
scientific name OF Entomology"
which is the science of phenomena.
Collection Of natural signs into the
science of phenology probably was
begun With a campaign against the
Eessian fly. Experts were endea-
voling to determine the best time
for planting wheat so that the show
ing would be late enough to prevent
rum by the pest and yet early enough
ter the gram to get a start before
cold weather. 1t was easy enough
to work out the general rule that
the season varies four days for each
one degree of latitude, five degrees
Of longitude and 400 feet of altitude,
but as no two seasons are Just the
same, the rule could tell only approx
imately when the farmer should do
his sowing.
In seeking for more exact guide,
Dr.. A. D. Hopkins, of the depart
ment, forsook the cold realm of scien-
tific formulate for "back to nature"
information. AS plants responded to
climatic conditions and not to dates,
it was decided that some natural in
dication would give the information
, desired. 1t is now claimed that OBJ
servation has proved that the best
time for sowing wheat is that period
between the full blooming of tall
late goldenrod and the time when the
white, common Japanese clematis
flowers are nearly all gone or the
leaves are distinctly colored on the
dogwood and hickories.
What has been done for wheat
what will be done for other crops, but
the working out of the signs will be a
slow process. Meanwhile, every far
mer and every city gardener, have
I their own guides at hand, if they
have eyes to see. Thus has the su-
prostitution and folklore of days
called primitive been justified by the
advanced science of the twentieth

the enterprise of Americans.
Pointing out that the present is
a period of the greatest moment In
the destiny of the Japanese empire,
the Baron said, Japan as one OF the
great powers stood in position
where even her minor actions would
effect the sseneral situation OF the
world the responsibility OF the Jap

than ever.

Japan, however, he said, must be,

sonal physician an dfriend, told Fred
Lockley of the Oregon Journal how
his home town, Culpepper, Va, failed
to function when the presidential
train made stop there. He said:
Il accompanied the president on
the first trip hte took after his cleo
ton
The conductor came through the
train and said, Mr.. President, ws
Shall have to stop twice, for orders
and for water, before reaching Wash

you would prefer to stop?'
President Wilson, with the innate
courtesy and the thoughtfulness
which is very part Of his nature,
remembering that I was from Cut
pepper, Va, said, If you can arrange
It should like to have you stop at
Culpepper the birthplace of my
TREND, DIR. Grayson. Use your own

President Wilson said, What is
the population of Culpepper?' l told
MN that the last census showed a
population Of 2201, but added, '1n
the adjoining counties, where there
are no railroads, hundreds of the
mountalneers and farmers will come

eminent, he did not mean casual act
ions arising from racial antipathy but
systematic policy of enlargement.
He charged that efforts were being
made by the CarranZa administra-
ton to capitalize hatred against the
United States and that this included
distortion of friendly American mo-
tlves, the suppression of facts by
news censorship, the expulsion of pat
riotic Americans who had lived in
Mexico as long as 30 years, and the
extraordinary breach of internation-
al courtesy in publishing an unan-
swered diplomatic note with the de
llberate intention of counteracting
President Wilson's friendly speech
made to visiting Mexican newspaper
men. The present regime, he said,
was endeavoring to "counteract at
all costs any symptoms of goodwill
toward the United States"
Mr.. Chamberlain insisted that con-
ditions in Mexico were worse than
the news report Indicate" He cited
the case of a train carrying 80 leading
citizens of Mexico being held up by
bandits in the suburbs of Pueba, the
industrial capital of the country, of
the coaches being burned and the
children, driven like cattle for 40
miles" by the robbers and then turn
ed loose to wander in delrium to
their homes. He told of another

REDUCE COST OF SHOES

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture)
Have shoes carefully fitted. Well
fitting shoes look better and wear bet
ter, besides being more comfortable.
Poor quality shoes are seldom eco
nomical.
Alternate two pairs; they last long
er. Slip shoe-trees into shoes when
you take them off ; 1t makes them keep
their shape longer.
Keep shoes clean and well-brushed /;
dressing made with little oil. well
rubbed in, prolongs the wear of leath-
er and kid.
Clean canvas shoes on shoe-trees to
prevent shrinking. Sponge with lit
tie water and soap that contains whit
ing. or use n commercial cleanser.
Dry wet shoes slowly on shoe-trees
or stuff with paper.
Protect shoes with rubbers in wet
weather. Even with careful drying
the moisture tends to rot the sewing
threads.
Do not wear rundown heels: they
will spoil the shape of the whole shoe.
Have small rips mended at once ;
often they can be sewed at home.

CLEAN PAPER FOR KITCHENS
Handy for Cook in Draining cro-
quettes or Doughnuts-Many
Other Purposes for Use.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrlculture)
Paper has many uses in the kitchen.
The cook needs a piece of paper on
which to drain the dried croquettes,
the fritter, or the doughnut, and she
reaches out for the brown paper that
came around the meat. She turns to
the same source when she wishes pa
per for lining a cake pan. A little re-
lection the home economics kitchen
suggests, will show how far from
cleanly is this practice. In every
kitchen a roll of grocer's paper on
its frame will prove useful. You are
then sure Of having paper that has
not been handled since 1t was rolled
up by machinery in the factory.
Paraffin paper should be on hand for
covering food, for wrapping up sand
wiches for school lunches, aud for
similar purposes.
Newspapers cut into pieces of con-
venient size or old catalogues, IL used
to place under kettles or pans, will
save much scrubbing of the sink or
table. Light brown paper or tissue
paper should be saved for use In clean
ing q easy pans and kettles.
