fused into the performance that for
the time being he truly succeeded
in pervertfng Lucinda's grasp of
the scene. Having exhausted ais
repertoire of emotional artifice, he
stepped out of the camera lines,
consulting Lucinda with a glance
and the stereotypedN inquiry, See
! what l want, dear?" she nodded
without thinking-"You make It
most real I'll do my best-and
stepped into character and the set
as the lights blazed on, the cam
eras began to tick, and Nolan
seized his baton of authority. the
megaphone which he invariably
used while directing, though he had
as much need of it now as the cam
eras had OF telescope lenses.
Now, dear" he blared through
this instrument-"go to it and show
us all you've got Don't be afraid
of letting yourself go. Remember,
this is your big scene, biggest
you've got in this story, your one
grand little chance to put it over
that you're a sure-enough actress.
Now you put your ear to the
crack in the door and hear your
name Give a big start and look
Mortified. You never dreamed men
could talk about women like that,
you know. Show US horror, dear,
and make it strong Remember
you're just realizing the man you
love is such a rotten cad he could
make bet about your virtue. 1t
just makes you feel sick all over
Great snakes, What's that for
What's the matter?'
For a sudden Lucinda laughed
outright, suddenly the heartrend-
ing tremolo of Nolan's voice as he
detailed the awful offense Richards
had committed against Nelly in the
play licked irresistably her sense of
the absurd; and her laugh followed
naturally, inevitably, uncontroll-
ably.
I'm sorry, Mr.. Nolan" he
gasped. Forgive me, II didn t
know 1 was going to laugh tiIl-ti1l
till it struck me as so funny"
Her voice rose and broke in an
other peal of hysterical merriment,
her words became unintelligible,
while Nolan literally ground his
teeth
What struck you as so funny?''
he exploded. SHOW me anything

"Oh, am sorry" Lucinda was
doing her utmost to sober herself

body rocked with recurrent spasm
of idiotic mirth. You see-when
you said that-what you said about
Richards being rotter-alI at once

HAMPERED IN
DEVELOPMENT
OF SCIENCES
Germany's Chemical Advance
ment Hindered by Lack
Of Equipment.

Scientific Germany is somewhat like a
now living on his stored vitality Of past
years. It must not be said that the pa
tient will not recover, but just now
scientifically he is largely relying on the
achievements of better days before and
during the war. There is a tendency to
capitalize the things that were devel-
oped then.
The dearth Of equipment, books, sup
plies and all the things that make up a
workshop for scientists is q real one
not only chemically but in all scientific
lines. The talk of poor conditions that
we have been hearing Is more than mere
bluff
Many Of the largest universities and
research laboratories whose names were
awe-inspiring in chemical circles before
the war. have had practically no Ameri-
can scientific literature since the begin
ming of the war in 1914 And 1t is a
financial impossibility for them to OBJ
tain foreign publications without out
side help. The mark has lost so much
caste among the monies of the world that
when it gets outside of it's own coun-
try's borders 1t can hardly demand any
thing. Not to know what the chemists
of other nations have been doing for
seven years is a serious handicap to the
work of German scientists. 1t is de-
clared that in all Germany there is but
one set Of the Physical Review, the
journal Of the American Physical So
ciety, complete to date. The lack of
chemical literature is believed to be just
as great
Universities are having a hard time of
1T financially. University salaries and
grants are VIGOROUSLY hard to increase
in this country, and the conditions are
similar in Germany One Of the insti-
tutes of the University of Bonn on the
Rhine has had a specifically generous
increase in yearly funds from the pre-
war sum OF 1900 marks to 10000
marks, but this becomes small indeed
when 1t Is learned that it costs $4,000
marks to heat the buildings of the in
stitute.
What the German universities lack in
funds and equipment they have a ten
dency to make up for in students. The
research laboratories at Leipsig are de-
clared to be very crowded Watson

Engineering Chemistry.

GEORGE
PLANS PARTY TO
WIN ELECTION
Collapse of Coalition Does Not
Mean Downfall of
Welshman.
KEEN OPPOSITION SEEN

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE political future
of the prime minister is the most talked
Of subject throughout Great Britain
When he appeals to the country for new
lease of power within the next few
months, will he be able to retain his po-
sitionl
The coalition government is quickly
breaking up It is, hated by Liberals and
Tories, while Labor will have nothing to
do with it. 1t is so unpopular that no
candidate at an election dare brand him
self as a Coalitionist.
Neither the Irish settlement nor the re
suits of the Washington conference have
increased the standing of the govern
ment in the slightest degree.
DECIDES TO FORM
PARTY OF HIS OWN.
Therefore. the Premier, without a
party or organization Of his own, finds
himself APPARENTLY tied to q mass of un-
popularity which must break into its
component parts-thus ceasing to exist
and be, either singly or as a whole,
showed under in the coming fight Lloyd
George is far 100 astute to be caught in
this fashion. When the Coalition break,
Lloyd George will be a leader without
party. Therefore he has decide to form
a party of his own.
To do this he has had to find his chief
adherents. First of all he las picked
those members whom he does not need
OF these, Austen Chamberlain comes first.
He is unpopular and would permeate the
new party with the old Toryism Lord
Curzon comes next. Useful In some ways,
he is a Jonah when it comes to active
politics. Balfour doesn't matter either
way-he is a very old man. WOrthington
Evans secretary Of the war department.
and Stanley Baldwin, secretary of the
board Of trade; Lord Lee of Fareham
are three fairly able mediocrities.
TWO IN TRAINING
FOR PREMIERSHIP.
The two men whose cooperation stood
out as absolutely necessary are Winston
Churchill and Lord Brkenhead. Next to
the Premier they are the two most power
full forces In British politics. Both are
marked out for the Premiership. and
Lloyd George says that he does not mind
which gets it after he is through with
the job. Then came Sir Robert Horne,
who, within a few years has risen to be
chancellor Of the exchequer Next came
the two very able millionaire Jews. Sir
Alfred Mond and Edwin S. Montagu, and
so on to the second raters. Together
these represent Liberalism and Toryism
In and about equal sections. Their one
party principle Is allegiance to LLOYD
George, coupled with success at the
forthcoming election.
The program viii be Of a gently pro-
gressive nature, but strongly anti
socialistic and i-c0mmunistic. Oppo-
sition to BOlshevsm will be one of it's
chief planks. Moderate social reform
viii loom large. This party Lloyd George
will lead unchallenged. It will undoubt-
eddy attract an enormous amount Of sup
port throughout the country, particularly
among women, to whom the old party
names mean little or nothing.
On these lines the Premier believes he
can again sweep the country at the cleo
ton which is at hand. Consequently he
looks forward to another long term OF
untrammeled power

years in succession they have an
swered here" when No. s was
called. That's worse than being
buried in coal mine.
The Boston Nationals gave the
Giants a battle in both games of
the Monday double header but lost
them both. That helped New York.
The team that can win the double-
headers in long distance cham
pionship race is the team that gets
some part of the money and usually
most of it.
Even Break Hurts.
Breaking even in a double header
is like sitting in a 6-cylinder OBJ
servation car without gas. Often
the yearning fan solaces himself
with the thought that his pet team
broke even. That kind of baseball
may win a place in the second di-
vision, but it will not win cham
plonships. Breaking even means
that your club is tied up with one
defeat and the defeats kill pennants
while the victories simply prevent
the killing off.
The most vital weakness the St
Louis American league club has
shown all of the season has been
its lack of a punch to win some OF
its dOuble-headers. If it had beer
able to pick up two or three OF
them on the last eastern trip the
Yankees would be departing fol-
the west, not fairly confident tina,
they might win the championship
but wondering whether any loop
