THE Hairy Ape

Eugene O'Neill, author of THE
Hairy Ape a remarkable play
which equals his emperor Jones"
in originality and exceeds it in
power, has won the right to be con
sidered Americas foremost play
wright A young man of genius
has risen among US and has slowly
perfected great talent Though
American in the language of his art,
he is universal in his themes and
spirit. His works, if we mistake
not, are destined to travel far.
Mr., ONeill, darling of the PROV
incetown Players, is very much of
the new school, Respect for author
ity and tradition rests lightly on
him He does not venerate the past
or even the present, He is violent in
his antipathy TO things as thew are.
But though he displays the virtues
Of our assertVe young geniuses. he
has avoided most Of their faults.
tie is not superficial. He makes no
god of mere eccentricity. He does
not strain for mere difference. He
does not say, See how dreadful |
am" He is not egocentric-sub-
dues his work to the colors of it's
proper demands
IN "Emperor Jones" Mr.. O'Neill
successfully put on the stage a study
Of the psychology Of fear, using the
consciousness of a negro as a back
ground. In The Hairy Ape" he at
tacks more difficult problem
nothing other than to present in
dramatic form. within the restric-
tons of an actable story, the inner
life Of man Of Drawn in contact
with our mechanical social organ
ISM with its manifold parisitisms,
cruelties and injustces. What play
wright in any land has essayed a
loftier fight? Much praise has
been SAID Of the depth of George
Bernard Shaw. Shaw is shallow in
comparison.
Mr.. O'Neiil reaches a denouement
whose implications he perhaps did
not foresee-teaches a lesson which
doubtless was far from his inten-
ton. He is not the sort who will
feel hattered to hear himself sa-
luted as Puritan-the strange folk
that modernists, -screechers
Of the Mencken type, so gustily de-
nounce.
But what does that horrifying

final scene imply wherein the man
ape of the forest crushcs the ape
man of the stokohole? Does he not
preach the old, old doctrine that un-
less man kills the beast within him
this beast will kill the man who has
come from him? In this brutal
death grapplo, which equals in in
tensity any one Poe ever described
one can hear the old Poundtexts
shouting: except yc conquer the
animal within you he will conquer
you"
How the old doctrines, wearing
new clothes, but the same under

The Cornell Pay Clinic

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A few days ago six medical
societies in New York denounced the
pay clinic OF Cornell University Medl-
cal College, calling it "socialistic' an'
"incompetent."
AS to being "sociahstic,' leave this
to any sane, sound thinker TO Judge.
AS to being incompetent, you will
permit me, will you not, to register
my protest?
An involved nerve trouble in my case
made an endoscopic examination sdvls-
able before final diagnosis. MY
private physician did not have the sp-
paratus nor the experience TO MAKE
the examinations He referred ME 70

told my physician that could NOT
afford such fees and suggested ths
Cornell clinic. He readily agreed 10
my suggestion. l went to the Corneh
clinic, was examined by three
consulting physicians, not coEiegs
students, and paid 81 visit and %
additional for the very skillful enoo-
scopic examination. My physician re.
ceived polite letter from the Corneii
clinic, with a detailed report as to the
conditions established by the examin@-

The Genoa Warning

The Tribune yesterday referred to
the warning TO the world convened
by the Russo German compact. 1t
mentioned the exceeding cIearncss Of
the announcement that two great
empires, containing half Of Europc's
population, are politically united: it
dwelt on the fact that dual league
IS established whose existence bodies

But the compact nm IT'S necessary
implications, says more than this. 1t
says in way all intelligent persons
can comprehend that the only way to
minimize the menace is to meet
anion with union. Power to control
destiny is now with those VINO would
have justice and orderly civilization.
But 1t may not always be- Ii is no
time to neglect opportunities. Berlin
and Moscow may be counted On to

More Truth Than Poetry

No Skill Needed

When Bobby Brown was ten
years old,
He said he meant, some time.
To be burglar bad and bold
And lead life Of crime.
And so he learned to climb
porch,
TO. lift a window sash.
And use a small electric torch
In searching rooms for cash.
But when to manhood Bobby
grew.
And burgling he essayed.
He found that he but little knew
About his chosen trade.
Detectives always seemed to lurk
Upon the Youngsters trail,
And often caught him at his work
And sent him off to Jail.
Discouraged, but ambitious still.
He went from town to town
10 gain the necessary skill
For criminal renown.
And yet he bungled every job
However hard he tried,
Until, with despairing sob.
The hope within him died
His heart bowed down with bitter
shame,
His soul in dire distress,
TO Old New York one day he
And 10! he found success.

Along the thoroughfare,
For any crook, however dumb.
Can make fortune there.

On Making a Hole in One By Royal con.soz

The distinctive thing about it is that

getting successfully out of bunker,
Or making a hole in three, or even in
two. Making a hole in one IS not an
achievement at all, but an experience.

q very stalwart fabulist, who. having
pitched his ball into the cup on n short
hole, stood up and without batting an
eye maintained that that was what he
had aimed to do. There is the classical
story Of the dutfer who holed out on
long drive and said 81 was afraid it
wasn't going in" But that proves
nothing save the ingenuity which goes
to the making of gof-lore,
Making hole in one, which, as I

IN the bottom Of his soul to reach the

there isn't a short hole in the coun-

ghosts of these nspoken aspirations.
I won't say that the wish is always
there But no golfer can truthfully
assert that it has always been

1t is done on some courses every sea

Make a Crop on Your Stubble
Land.

Not every year can farmers disc
their stubble land, following the re-
moval of the grain crop, and plant a
crop of legumes with fair chance
of securing good stand. But in sea-
sons when rain has been abundant in
April and May, there is always
enough moisture in the soil to germi-
nate the seed and make a good start,
after which an occasional shower is
all that is needed for producing an
abundant yield. Every stubble field
should be disced and planted to cow
peas, velvet beans, soy beans or some
other legume in 1922. There is an
abundance of moisture in the soil
and if the seed is properly planted
a good crop is almost assured. Besides
keeping the land from baking in the
hot July sun, legumes will add nj
trogen to the soil. The crop itself will
more than pay for the trouble of
planting and the cost Of the seed. The
way to make farming pay is to take
advantage of every opportunity to
make the soil yield it's maximum

Flies a Menace to Health.

Flies are menace to both comfort
and health, and before they become
numerous about the house and barns,
every effort should be made to de-
stroy their breeding places. Flies
breed in filth, trash and garbage. For
that reason special attention should
be paid to the stables and feed lots.
Do not let manure accumulate; keep
the yards clean and the weeds in
fence corners moved. Destroy every
breeding place that can be found and
the work will be we'll paid for in COM
fort and health insurance.
While fighting flies, give some at
tention to low places. Destroy all old
cans and other receptacles that will
collect standing water. Drain low
places and sprinkle literally with
crude oil. = BY so doing you will rid
yourself and family from the mos
quito pest, which, while not quite as
dangerous as the fly, does transmit
the malaria germ, and in addition,
creates more discomfort than any in
sect found in the Southwest. Flies
and mosquitoes are both enemies to
man and livestock.-Farm & Ranch.
