AN INExCUsABLE WASTE

Reserve supplies of gasoline are re- ported, by the United States bureau of mines, to be getting low, and gov ernment officials are reported to be considering means for controlling the supply and limiting the use of motor vehicles. As has been said before, thousands of machines are left stand. ing on the street every day with their motors running, wasting this valuable gasoline. In some cities such action is illegal, yet policemen pass it by daily. Bus when the authorities con sider the restriction of the use of au- tomob'les, as they did during the war, it may be that automobiles will see to it that their neighbors do not waste gasoline. In order to make the argu- ment more effective, it may be said that an automobile standing with the engine running for an hour a day might waste a gallon of gasoline. Multiply that by 365 days, and the re- suit by the 8,OOO,O00 or 9,000,O0O au- tomobiles, and you have an impress sive item.
 Prices fuctuate, but upward only.

The words weren't half bad at that.

The piece has lots of plots. There
was a scorpion who kissed his sweet
hoort and looked perfectly horrid and
snidcr who. after winning his bride, was
eaten by her. and couple of playful
rattlesnakes; and ever so many immoral
insects and wanton flowers. And all
wore on the stage at the same time, the
SCENE being the vivarium of Martin

there was a dear little girl who wanted

and the clever reading of Mr.. Drew and

Mr.. Shakespeare was wrong: Not
the play. but the illustrated lecture is

He told the business man Of the per-
fcctly scandalous conduct of the in

story by j. G Alayande~ and directed by
Culin Campbell. First National play
comes this plot of an ancient feud laid
in the Kentucky mountains. The fcud
fight takes place in well handled pro
logue, in which the big point in the
story is established The fear Of cleo
trical storms is instilled in the last of
the house of Corbin when that child
secs its mother suffer as the result Of
witnessing her husband S death and her
homes destruction by falling tree
struck by lightning.
In after years the son, grown to an
age where he can seek his revenge upon
the enemy of his father. comes back to
the southern town. He demands that the
father of daughter of the enemy give
over the girl to him as payment for
some forged stock certificates. This is
done. but the marriage is for revenge.
and the love theme is lacking until the
very end of the story, where the nus
woman he has taken in payment of the
forgery.
An interesting passage in the story
makes it clear that the man does not
know what he is doing during a storm
and it is then that the wife is able to
secure his true love. and the baby born
of this union is the bond that ties up
the future happiness of the-formcr feud-
lists. katherine Macdonald PLAYS her
role in conventional style. while Thomas
Meighan does the part of the husband
in his usual manner of repressed acting.
