reply of determined, angry man.
 For Gods sake, Rodion. would you do this thing!" This, a mans voice, was followed by a horrible shriell by both the man attacked and the woman.
 The remainder of the scene left the audience to imagine the various steps that Rodion took to murder the man and silence the woman. The time of the act was' probably thirty minutes, dUring which the realism of Mansfield's s wonderful work was portrayed only by noises that were heard from behind the scenes. It was marvellous work. Later. believe in the last act, Mansfield is seen in desolate room in the dormi- tory of the college where he is stu dent. He is lying upon a dirty bed tossing, talking and ravinS. The sound of the police is heard at his door, Mansfield, aroused, jumps from the bed, his hands still bloody from the crime he had committed a few hours before, and while the police are bat tering at the door for admission, he reproduces the entire murder scene in his bedroom in pantomime. without uttering a word until the enactment of the deed is complete. Then he hoarsely says:
 T will kill him as l please," The police force their way into the chamber. where Rodion is arrested, confesses, and the sordid affair is ended.
 ! The acting, of course, was the feature of the production. There was little to the text. But for many years, l have 1 been conducting a casual search for 1 the name of the author, the publisher or the owner of the text. l have failed Brentanos in New York, where heat rical literature is better known and catalogued, perhaps. than in any other house in the United States, has nc record of Mansfield ever having ap- peared in the play Of that name. None of the United States catalogues list it : The Library of Congress has no record of it ever having been copyrighted. My last resource, and one that I have long hesitated to approach, is Mrs. Mans field. l have finally asked her, by mail, to give me the information l seek and 1 await the answer with in terest.

tain lad, who seeing a railroad train
for the first time did not marvel as
his chum expected he would, for the
simple reason that there's a man

Yes. and we should bear in mind
that it is men that make a world. and
good men that make superior civiIi-
zation,' added Mr.. Fisher, With this
wonderful background screen of scenic
wonders, this Arizona with her peaks
and canyons, her rising and thriving
cities,-all this goes for naught unless
you have real men. There are too
many great big overgrown towns in
this country. parading as cities. which
have no soul because the composing

impresses me as to find plucky towns,
with real men in them, making the
fight that you men are about to under
take, fight which will not benefit this
generation so much, as it will benefit
the youth of today and make of him
the better man.
Big City Is Tiresome
And it is sad when we consider the
passing of a generation to call to mind
ideals. They have quietly slipped
away, many of them, leaving the world
to us. New York with its millions of
souls is lonesome place today with
out Theodore Roosevelt-that red
booded American who inspired our
youth and made new American tenets
for us to follow. 1t is in building up
our city that we must think, and keep
the thought ever present, of who is
going to continue the building after
we have gone?

QUITS THE "ALIMoNY" CLUB

The famous "Alimony club" of the
Ludlow street Jail in New York has lost
its only life member. David Gold
haber, whose matrimonial entangle7
ment caused him TO spend eight
months in the jail, has been released by
a supreme court order. The three
remaining members made the last
night Of his stay gala occasion and
turned the regular jail dinner into a
testimonial banquet.
Goldhaber's troubles began back in
July, 1917, when his wife and sister
in-law complained that he didn't take
them to shows and other places Of en-
tertainment enough. He was an ex-
pressman and he tried to convince
them that when he came home tired
he must rest or he couldn't do his
work and hold his job.
A month later he was arrested on an
order granted after his wife had
brought suit for a separation. He was
released under $500 bond furnished by
a friend In December, 1917, Mrs
Goldhaber was granted a separation
and SIS a week alimony. She made no
effort to collect. Goldhaber said, so he
didn't pay. The court. however. held
that was no valid excuse, ana Wnen MS
bondsmen withdrew in March, 1919,
Goldhaber was sent to the Ludlow
street Jail. long famous as a prison
for those who would not or could not
pay almiony.
Goldhaber could find no other bonds
man, and so he settled himself for a
prolonged stay at the club Then
came the decision of the supreme court
based on "the gross delay os the plain
tiff in enforcing her judgment"

CALL TO MASS MEETING

Frederick Vining Fisher, assistant national
director of the United Americans movements,
in a statement addressed to the people of Phoe-
nix last night, invited all persons interested in
the cause of true Americanism to mass
meeting under the auspices of the state United
Americans tonight at 8 o'clock at the high
school auditorium.
MIR. Fisher declared that the movement re-
CURED the attention of each individual inter-
ested in the permanence of our American in
stitutions, the efficiency of our constitution,
and the solution of the manifold problems con-
fronting the country at the present time.
The mass meeting will mark the completion
of plans for state United Americans organi-
cation, to be followed by membership cam
paign. Delegates will be present from many
parts of the state. They will also attend con-
vention of the United Americans to be held on
Saturday.

problems which are confronting the
country for solution. l sometimes
wonder whether the men who are now
living will solve them. But the boys
who will follow us can and must solve
them, and we must provide them with
the sinews. With all we have Gone
for the boys | am not sure that the
present generation is keenly conscious
of what America stands for. What
we need is not entertainment, but
backbone and downright business.
Tendency to ShIrk
In the pioneer days we had to make
our own Wayne had to heW out of
the rough; today there is a tendency
to shirk, to let the other fellow do it
for US. We need, my friends, a new
conscience in America. You may tax
yourself to the utmost to building
highways, but if a degenerate genera
ton is to use them after you are gone,
what is the good? You may build pal
aces, but if you do not leave behind
the master mind to live in them, again,
what is the use? We have put up too
small a program for the boy, we have
offered him alluriDg devices to gain his
attention.
What we want is power houses of
c. A, to turn out a hardy and true
manhood. Americanizaton is not the
Anglicizing of the foreign language
press, it is not the forcing of the yid-
dish to speak English, it is not any of
a dozen of these false conceptions, but
it is the making of Americans out of
Americans. Other lands may be linked
by blood ties and linked by tongue,
but America is the land of soul, the
land stood for by Theodore Roosevelt"
DR.. Norton announced that because
of the uncertain weather, A. c. Bart
lett, one of the early patrons of the
Phoenix Y. NJ. C. A. was unable to
attend the dinner. In Mr., Bartlett's
stead he called upon Dwight B. Heard,
who declared that Theodore Roosevelt
stood for the Y. NJ. C. A. because the
institution makes for men of character,

men of backbone, and men of service
to the community. 1t was because the

ing generation said Mr.. Heard, that he
sponsored its aims.
Brighter Day Dawns
Mr.. Sexson said that he felt that a
brighter day for the 'fY" of Phoenix
was dawning with the $4,000 cam
paign. Great numbers of appeals
from boys, who urged improvement
in the building had been heard. he said
and at last some of them would be
realized R. P. Davie pointed to the
fact that when seniors helped the boys
of today they were in reality helping
themselves. He urged the business
men to temporarily take themselves
out of their business thoughts to aid
the campaign. C. F. Coykendale of
New York City outlined definite plans
for the campaign.

that one of the first after the-war
problems to receive governmental at

aviation for practical and commercial

French chalk is not nearly so well known as 1t should be, for it is a very convenient and economical prep aration to have on hand for various purposes. As a cleanser for silk it is effective in that it removes grease spots almost instantaneOusly, if ap- piled in the following way:-If the chalk is purchased in cone shaped Jumps it Is well to shave them down to a fine powder, which should then be mixed with a small quantity of soapsuds until a thick paste has been formed.
 After the paste has hardened into round cakes it is ready for use. It should again be powdered and spread on the offending spot, under which cotton material has previously been spread. Several layers of tissue pa per should be placed over the spot and a hot iron applied to the paper, with care that it does not come ir contact with the silk itself. This method will leave the silk free from bIemish if followed carefully.
