~ EAL satire is one of the
rarest things in drama or
100 literature. It's function is to
make manifest things not as they
are but as they ought not to be.
Satire, whether the satirist likes
1t or not, Is religious function.
IT Is gift OF God.
In the CzechOslova1Sian play,
The World We Live In" there
is e. slice of the choicest satire
It has ever been our pleasure to
see on the stage, or anywhere
else for that matter. The whole
play Is full OF fine satire, but one
scene is sermon more penetrat-
ing and poignant than anything
likely to be heard in any pulpit.
The scene is where two beetles,
having secured their pile, roll it
uphill and down dale, as they look
for g hole. The pile on the stage
is about the size Of an ordinary
barrel; the beetles are humans
playing the part. They play it
extraordinarily well
Gloat Over Possession.
The beetles, having rolled the
pile to the center Of the stage,
pat it affectionately, caress it
with their arms, exultingly ex-
claiming Our pile. our nest egg;
we made 1t, it is ours, all ours!''
They chuclxIe, they chortle. they
cavort and piroutte. and the audi
ence laughs. There is no sar-
casm, no irony. no caricature,
just satire, pure satire with its
human outstanding. its deep I'M

WHERE TO ASK FOR SOMETHING IS TO RECEIVE IT

IN the Fiji Islands in the
southern Pacific, there are
Il no written laws. But the
native chief governs wisely and
well for Great Britain, to whom
the islands belong.
The chief has, or is supposed to
have, no personal property. But
he owns his subjects absolutely
not only their bodies, but all their
possessions.
However, their possessions are
not numerous. For clothes they
wear one single straight garment
called "sulu." Their houses are
simple and almost exactly alike.
They are built in the form of a
rectangle. The roofs are thatch.
ed with straw.
The interiors Of the houses are
practically bare. All there is to

spears. \

Life goes along without
struggle. Peace reigns. There
are no politics
Singing ana dancing are the
most important things in life To
the Fijian, to sing and dance is
as necessary as to eat and drink.
Here they dance the stories Of

Walls Invisible i'm
New Salons

~ ARIS.-Light-ref floors
and ceilings feature the in
Il stallation of the new La
Tour salons, in the Louvre
Museum.
The device is the result Of
studies by a New Zealander, Prof.
Seager, who spent five years in
wondering why equal lighting
would display one painting well
and another badly. He concluded
that 1t was the result of light
clashing from reflections cast by
walls and floor.
In the new salons the floors
are absolutely bare and painted
black. The ceiling Is red-ochre
and the walls of a dull cherry
like tint which is declared to be
non-absorbent Of light.
The effect is to make the paint
ings stand out as the only objects
in the room. The walls are prac-
tically invisible.
