PLAYS WELL PRESENTED
Members of tho Amphion Dramatic Club nt tho New Britain High school Present Three Short Plays In n Capable Manner.
(By Herald Reviewer.D


 The Amphion Dramatic club of the New Britain High school presented three we'll known short plays in tho school auditorium last evening. The plays were we'll rendered by the asso- citation and much credit should be given the director, Mrs. X. C. Guil- ford. who was responsible for the suc- cess
 In view of the fact that the plays were worked up within less time than two weeks special mention should be made of tho fact. The first play of the evening was Joint Owners Tn Spain. In this sketch four girls took tho parts. the leading one. that of an old grabbed woman, being character ized by Grace Brown
 The scene of tho second act entitled ''Swimmin' Pools" was laid in Gris- wold's Dump. Tn this. when the cur tain raised. three youths sat around n burning fire. State Director Ray mond Smith gave the audience little to be desired in the scenery and ef- fecfs of this play. His campfire was very realistic. Three characters who played up well were Paul Lucas. Dwight Latham and William Ruther- lord.
 The biggest success of the evening was ''Neighbors" The honors in this play were taken by Laura Nell as Mis- Diantha Abef' and Leroy Ffefsfler as Peter" Elba Anderson ma Margaret Foster were also good. Music for the evening was furnished sy tho High school orchestra under he direction Of Miss liza Harvey.

FLUENCY IS
 OF NO USE
 TO COMMONS

Glasgow, April Contrary to a popular idea, nowhere does "fIuency of speech" count for less than in the House of Commons, according to An drew Bonar Law, who for 20 yeal% has been a member of Parliament and, until his recent resignation, was the government leader in the House. MT. Bonar Law was speaking of the qualities that make for success in public life.
 -In Parliament it is not the set speech but the debating speech which is effective" he said in the course Of his inaugural address as Lord Rec tor of Glasgow University. "As in war the guns which may secure vic tory are not necessarily the biggest, but those which are placed in the best position, so in Parliament the heavier the calibre of the guns the better, but at all costs they must be quick firing.
 There is great difference be- tween men in the facility with which they speak. Some men speak far above their general ability and some men far below it but a natural eift of speech is not necessary to secure success in public life.
 There have always been, and there are now in Parliament. men whose speaking when they began seemed hopeless1y bad but who, ney- ertheless, have taken their place in the front rank of statesmen. They did so because intellect is not a tool but a hand, and they used their in nate intellect and force to master the tool which was necessary for their work.
 'In Parliament also there have al- ways been, and there are now, men who from every point of view or form, or or style make speeches

Hostility To Hyp.1er And
 Hyphenates

New York. April 11-Hostility to the "hyphen and hyphenates" was pronounced here recently by F. ". Galbraith, Jr., National Commander of the American Legion, who, in a statement commemorative of the fourth anniversary of the declara- tion by the United States of war against Germany, pledged anew the soldier organizations faith in America, its traditions and it's ideals''
 -Four years ago." said the state ment, we declared war against Ger many. The hyphen, realizing that it was an ally of our enemy promptly took cover. The hyphen dug in and hid it's head and, so long as the roar of battle sounded, it maintained an exceedingly low visibility.
 Then there was an armfstice which signffed that the danger was over, and with the passing of danger the hyphen crept back slowly into view. Finally it became bold and as- serted itself with it's old arrogance.
 "This anniversary is a fitting time to serve notice on the hyphen and hyphenates that there may have been an armistice for our Late enemies but there never can be an armiStice with the hYphen. An honest adversary we can admire and forgive. We never can make truce with those citizens who affirm allegiance to two masters
 Tt is fitting that on this day reminiscent of patriotic fervor, we pledge anew our faith in America, its traditions and its ideals-one coun- try one tongue. one flag
