to the East, > is on view at Moore's
Garden Theater the first three days OF

George ". Cohan in his latest Fro
duction, THE Royal Tagabond." has
caught the spirit OF the times.
In this musical romance of royalty
he utilizes a revolution to help make
the world safe for democracy. 'Tis
true he is not the author Of the
operetta but the play shows many
Cohanesque touches and even one OF
the songs runs Get Out, Autocracy,
Come in Democracy" with a swing
ing refrain ......
The music throughout Is fetching.
The costumes are probably the most
dazzling seen here this year, and the
scenery called forth applause. And
II might be said right here that the
chorus ladies add greatly to the charm
of the production.

"Chu Chin Chow" began its second
week at Polls last, night to an audi
ence the size of which gave evidence
that the tales of the Arabian Nights
have lost none of their flavor. This
gorgeonsly costumed spectacle is
based on the alleged life and expert
ence. OF one Abu Hasan, alias Chu
Chin Chow, and his forty thieves and
one Ali Baba. a jovial wine bibber be-
fore Bagdad went "dry." - -
1t Is evident in Oscar Asche's crea-
tion that Bagdod was "wide open" In
those days, and that the Gay, Paree"
OF a later period had about as much
kick" as near-beer in comparison.
The female denixens of Bagdad ran in
no well-worn rut when 1t came to
selecting or discarding lingerie. And
while old Mr.. Chu was. "lookin's 'em
over" previous to laying in a new
stock OF hand-maidens, he shared
with the audience glimpses OF inti-
mate things worn by the James Of the
ancient city. These trappings ranged
from those affected during Martha
washington's time back. to the rheu-
matism-tempting "get up of Eve.
Many OF the girls of Bagdad evi-
IDENTIFY oversight. and when called at
reveilie had only time to slip on san
dals and short skirt to get down to
roll call. - y
In the position which the wicked
Mr.. Chu occupied at the annual reup-
holstering Of his apartments with the
latest feminine loveliness, in COM
pany with a silent company of other
former gay blades OF his vicinity, he
seemed to have an unfair advantage.
When the fair slave entrants paraded
up the stretch before the race, Mr..
Chu sat at the wire In Box A The
others sat more at the sides, where
the looking wasn't so good. Conse-
quently the robber sheik felt fmpelled
to bid well. and at this particular
fieshfest. reproduced so faithfully at
Polls, the whole consignment OF
morale strengtheners was knocked
down to him.
But in those days. as in the now.
some woman was always taking the
Joy out of life, and Abu Hasan. alias
Chu Chin Chow had one Of that kind
in his stable-and she was a pippin.
She, however, was being true to, a

Ali Baba was sowing considerable

"Chu Chin Chow" gives Lionel

tions of the old Bagdad days share
with skillful stage costuming and

zone by aerial patrol was officially in
augurated and has been In regular pro-
cess ever since. Two flights were made
later in January for the purpose of OBJ
tanning a panoramic view of the terri
tory bordering the quarantine lines, to
note the character and extent Of any
forests or wooded areas which might
act as natural barrier to the spread
OF the pink bollworm by flight of the
moth. as well as to secure some idea
of the Value of aerial observations in
connection with chronological scout
Ing and mapping.
These flights were made at an alti-
tude of from 1900 to 1000 feet. At
this elevation on clear day dis
tinct vision could be had of the coun-
try over range of 80 miles, and cul-
tivated fields, buildings, shell roads,
railway lines, creeks, and the charac-
ter Of wooded areas, whether pine or
deciduOus, could be easily distinguish
ed. At the normal speed Of the air
planets miles an hour-the ground
moves so slowly that the observer has
time to get complete picture of the
area and easily to distinguish cotton
from corn fields.
Inspector Hensley is enthusiastic in
the belief that the airplane will ire
mendously facilitate all such scouting
end reconnaissance work. including
mapping.
Similar use can be made of it in 9TH
er agricultural and forestry surveys,
which are analogous to the mapping
and survey use made of it for war pur-
poses.
The tests made last year, followed
by the more important and systematic
utilization of this new means of sur
vey and inspection carried out this
year, marks probably the first use Of
the airplane in a practical way in ag-
rlculture, and may be the starting of
an important use of this new means of
transportation and observation for
scouting and inspection purposes in
other fields of research or control
work.

these fires is that the ma
tional forests and national parks must
be patrolled by airplanes and protect
ed by wireless telephone.
Time Is vital factor In fighting
forest fires. They must be detected
instantly and combated promptly
Once a forest fire gains sufficient
Roadway the flames convert each live
pine into a gas retort and the flaming
gas, carried by the wind, jumps far
ahead of the fro line, to start new
fires. Also, a forest fire will run up
a mountain slope with tremendous
speed, creating It's own draft as it
goes.
Airplane service would instantly de-
tect a forest fire. It would reach the
spot promptly, with smothering gas,
flrefghters, tools, provisions and ma
terials If the national forests and
national parks are worth creating and
administering, they are worth preserv-
ing. The ordinary forest fire Is a ca
lamity The big one is catastrophe.
In a twinkling the growth of gen
erations is gone. Where a forest stood
there Is desolation which will last for
many year. The losses in money
this season, saying nothing of the
menace to human life, would pay for
an extensive air service equipment.
That there Is q distinct and impOr-
tant place for aircraft in fire protec-
ton of timberlands has been regard
ed by the forestry officials for some
time as beyond doubt 1t was with this
idea in mind that arrangements were
made to have army airplanes and cap
tive balloons cover portions of the ma
tionsl forests of California, Arizona,
New Mexico and other states this sum-
mer. The patrolling was started early
In June and has so quickly proved it's
worth, that 1t was proposed to extend
the service to other points In the East,
including one near the White noun
tains In New Hampshire.
No difficulty is experienced by the
airmen In detecting fires in heavy tim
Der from elevations of 5000 to 10000
feet.
At present the forest service relies
for the detection Of fires partly on pa
troll, usually by men on horses, motor
cycles, or railroad speeders, and partly
on watchers stationed on lookout
points. Aircraft have many points Of
obvious superiority over this method.
Lookouts in every broken country,
