ABE MARTIN AB0UNDS
IN fine SENTIMENT

Were it not for the wholesome SEN
timent with which ABE Martin
abounds, and the able portray of that
same element by Abe and several of
his associates, one might be forced to
belittle the value of the production.
The play was presented at the Wash
ington theatre Monday night.
Accustomed to the swift-moving
three-act plays, it appeared that the
two-act ABE Martin" was, indeed,
slow With due regard to the scene
of the activity Drown county, Indj-
anal and recognizing that that por-
ton of the state is not know for its
killing pace, the lack of decisive,
clear-cut action still might be said to
cause a certain dulling of the senses.
Abe Martin was startlingly natural.
Carlton Guy in the title role animated
that familiar character which has so
long lived as a true example of HooS-
Ter wit. That same simple philos-
ophy which Kin Hubbard puts. into
the mouth of his creation found eX-
preston in Abe Martin lines.
It's just as wicked to think damn
as to say it," was one of the most
typical of the character. His wit was
voiced in such as, One good thing
about an automobile is the lines don't
get under the tall 'wimmin are like
elephants, like to look at them but
wouldn't want one" "the longer

All the quaint charm of the old pu-
eblo style of architecture is preserved
in concrete in series of little cot
tages now under construction in Mon
rovia, Cal. The one-story buildings
are most remarkable for their complete
use Of cement, woodwork being prac-
tically eliminated. Even the roofs are
concrete, and the doors are made Of
magnesite, according to an illustrated
article in the January Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The poured walls,
five inches thick, inclose a web of
waterproofing material, while the ce-
ment floors are stained in Spanish
leather effect, waxed and polished. The
little structures are wholly fireproof,
and easy cleaning is assured by the abb
sence of holdings, casing and base
boards. Enclosed courts off the kitch-
en- and sleeping chambers partly
rooted and partly screened, provide
outdoor protection and privacy.

HoN0RED NAME IN MEDICINE
Henry DetWiier. Native of Switzerland,

Among the first, If not the first, to
successfully practice homeopathy in
America was Henry Detwiler, who
was born in Langenbruck, Switzerland.

appointed ship physician, and success
fully treated an epidemic of dysentery
which had broken out during the pas
sage.
Coming to Pennsylvania, he settled
in the Lehigh Valley, and gained promi-
Rence by treating large number OF.
people who were attacked with inys-
FERROUS disease which he finally dag
nosed as bilious collie, resulting from
eating apple butter.
He early made q study Of the sys-
tenn of medicine founded by Hahne-
mann, and in 1928 dispensed thes first
remedy in Pennsylvania, in accordance
with the law of similars. and during
the remainder of his life was devoted

Doctor Detwiier formed an intimate
acquaintance with Hahnemann, who
gave him wonderful reception IN

sicians and scientists. He gave many
natural history specimens to various
colleges, founded an iron industry and
finally died at the advanced age of
ninety-two.-Chicago Journal.
