EARTH TO RACE
WITH COMET THIS SUMMER

Berkeley. Cal, April 27.-For q
month this summer the earth vii
engage in a race with the periodic
comet Pons-W -Wincak. and because il
will have no chance to win, it viii
endeavor, through the astral influence
to trip up its gaseous rival accord
ing to a report made public today by
the observatory of the University OF
California. The earth will not Sc,
into the race until the comet has !;
lead of between 100000 and 90
100000 miles, but then it will put
"everything it has into its tests with
the comet.
The ''tripping up" process Of per
turbation caused by the earth's in
luence, will pull the comet away
from it's course somewhat, but it will
continue to plunge along the cosmic
speedway at an undiminished pace.
It will cap it's supremacy finally when,
on June q, it flips it's tail 80 hard
against it's terrestrial rival that the
impact will send out sparks. These
will go down in the record az me-
teoric shower.
The comet, at last calculation, was
approximately 100000 miles from
the earth. It's nearest approach will
be 1872 of an astronomical unit, or
100000 miles, on June Z, and
shortly thereafter the race will
begin.
At the greatest brilliancy observ-
able from the earth the comet will
be of the eighth or ninth magnitude.
Nothing greater than the sixth mag
nitr de can be observed by the naked
eye, so the world at large will see
nothing of the visitor until the tall
Tipping episode, on June q. However,
the earth's attraction for the comet
may be so great that new ca1cula-
tions may be necessary when the race
gets under way.
Any potential prophecies that the
comet will co great damage to the
earth are out of order, the observa-
tory states. On the other hand, the
meteoric shower if it develops as an
will prove to be harmless,
If inspiring. spectacle.

LARGE INCREASE IN
SOUTH CAROLINA SAVINGS

Savings deposits in South Carolina
banks and trust companies increased
more than 100000 last year, and

development Of the general savings
movement and to emphasize the prog

spending and waste.
In South Carolina there are 491
banks Of which 311 replied to the
gu stionnaire sent out by the Govern

Of the larger banks, the reporting in
stitutions representing probably more
than 80 per cent Of the banking re-
sources of the state. Their figures
which are for January 1, 1920, and
January l., 1921, show that last year
their savings deposits increased from
$74,770,231.26 to $S0,0S6,676.31-a
gain of more than $5,300,000. The
number Of savings accounts in South

/. w. w. LEADERS
ESCAPE JUSTICE

Chicago, April 29.-The real lead
ers in the group Of I. ". W. con-
yicted for anti-government wartime
conspiracies have jumped their bond
and now are believed to be furthering
revolutionary ideas. Federal officials
said today after final check-up OF
the forty-seven men who were to re-
mort to the Leavenworth, Kan, penl-
tentiary, following refusal OF the
United States supreme court to re-
view their cases.
Nine convicted men are at liberty
the others either having reached the
penitentiary or being on their way ne
says. Only one of the conspiracy
chiefs is behind the bars, however,
tho others at LeavenwOrth being
termed small fry, or men who hap
nened to get in the way of the gov
ernment wartime dragnet."
OF the nine who are free, six are
looked on as chief instigators of the
anti-war activities. Three Of these six
are believed to be holding cabinet"
positions in the Russian soviet gov
ernment and three are believed to be
in this country. Two of the remain
ing three who have not surrendered
are expected to give up within few
days. The other, not considered by
the government to be Of much impor-
tance, is looked on as permanently
missing
Ralph Chaplin, editor of Solidarity,
once the official T. W. W. organ,
was said by federal officials to be the
only "big gun" in the conspiracies
who is now in Leavenworth.

"L ISTEN LESTER" PROVES
CHoCK FULL OF LAUGHS
Gus Shy Pulls One Stunt Afte,
Another in Musical Comedy =
at Strand.

"Listen Lester" is lodged at the
Strand for the first half of the week,
and, on being viewed last night, prov
ed to be very amusing offering. 1t
is show which is full of nonsense.
though there is a ghost of a plot, but
from start to finish it is chock-full of
fun.
This fun is derived from many and
sundry causes-from songs, from the
id;otic lines Of the piece, from situa-
tions, but mostly from just nonsense,
and that means Gus Shy. He is clev-
er young fellow who apparently is a
combination Douglas Fairbanks,
Mordkin and boneless wonder, for he
pulls one stunt after another which
make one laugh and gasp at the same
time. His talents seem to go all the
way from singing and dancing to
chief comedians role, which keeps
him upon the stage greater part CT
the time and which he is well able to
keep moving right along. Gus Shy is
great addition to q show, for things
hum all the while--he is always land
ing in some remarkable fall or other,
or dancing as if he had wings on his
feet and could leap in the air any
height he wished to reach.
And, speaking of dancing, the show
is full of it. Usually, if there is prin-
cipal who is an adept in this line, there
are no others to compete; but in this
show there are two other male leads
who are extra good at shaking foot,
and two charming girls, both of whom
are unusually graceful and who do
difficult stunts, Virginia Watson
was most attractive in the part of Ma
ry Dodge, her wirsome personality
and pretty face establishing her as
a favorite on her first appearance.
And Lulu Swan, who was seen as
"Arbutus Quality, Live One" look
ed and acted the part to perfection.
Miss Swan was another pretty girl,
who put lot of comedy in her role,
but occasionally dropped it for a
graceful waltz or lively jazz steps.
The company on the whole was a
good one, the three mentioned were
the most noticeable, with Joseph
Mack as Lester" amusing every
time he appeared, which was not so
often. He was what would be called
! an eccentric dancer in any show but
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1921-02-08

one in which Gus Shy was playing,
but Mr.. Shy dances like a wild man
and has put in the eccentric, as it
were. In the last act he sings cou-
pie Of songs'after the manner cfthe
lively Eddie Cantor and gets away
with it with as much gusto as that
famous comedian of burt cork And
for little gentle finale he does he
split ten times in rapid succession,
which is apparently a mere bagateile
for violent Mr. Shy.
There is chorus of girls or ladies
of the ensemble" as they are billed,
but there are so many principals who
are busy singing and dancilg, eshcc-
tally the latter, that one'doesn't know
whether the girls are on the stage o:
not. There is something happening
every minute in ''Listen Lester"
mostly laughs. 1t is show without a
bit of sense, but which is amusing
from start to finish, typical tired
business mans musical comedy, min
US lot of girls, for though there IS
quite large chorus there is so much
else going on that there is no time FOR
the girls. And maybe it's just rs well
