BRINGING PLAY UP TO DATE
"othelIo" Introduces, of All
Things, a Photograph.

We are always indignant-and right
ly so-when alterations are made in
the great works of fiction in order to
adapt them to the screen-a species of
vandalism which should be prohibited
by law.
In Japan the vandals-if we may call
them that-do not confine their orer-
ations to productions for the screen
the stage, too, suffers at their hands.
Recently Shakespeare's "Othello"
was subjected to the most awe-inspir-
ing transformations for presentation
on the Tokyo stage. Othello himself
became he military governor Of For

daughter OF the minister of finance

George Washington's nanny was
making a dessert of Strawberries and
cream at one time and she put it in
a place where there was ice in which
there also was salt. She merely meant
to make it cold by putting it in the
ice and didn't realize that the ice and
salt would make a fine dish of ice
cream. She vas rather upset when
she found the strawberries and cream
had frozen and was rather nervous
when she put the dish before George
Washington. But Washington was de-
lighted. And we can well understand
his delight! That was his first dish
of ice cream!

splendid dinner for the French gener-

ICE CREAM

"The other day." said daddy, 81 read
some interesting facts about ice cream
and frozen desserts which l thought
would interest you. OF course | know
that to eat ice cream is more interest
ing than to hear about it. But then
it is nice, l think, to hear about
something which is so interesting a
dessert as is ice cream.
"Then, too, as a special treat, I've
got a box of ice cream which l brought
in with me this evening, and which is
to be divided between you both while
daddy is going to see that the box is
left quite clean !"
"Oh, how wonderful" said Nancy.
"What a nice kind of an illustrated
story" said Nick.
And then daddy got the ice cream
and the saucers and the spoons and
they all ate their treat right away.
1T might melt while we were hear
ing the story" said daddy.
So, after the ice cream vas eaten
daddy began his story.
81 read that away back in the old
Babylonian days-oh, so many, many
years ago, that we could scarcely
count them-in fact I don't think we
could count them all up this evening
at any rate-they used to make frozen
desserts by putting a mixture of goats
milk and fruit and honey into a great
bowl made out of copper.
"Then they would put the bowl into
a kind of clay cavern until their des-
sert was frozen. Ever since that day
frozen desserts nave been popular. In
the days of the Egyptians there were
frozen desserts, and in France, a good
many years ago, they made, what is
known as frappe. They were the first
to make frappe, l believe.

complied by a group of prominent
physicians, the automobile is CON
tributinS far more to the health and
welfare of the natibn than even its
most ardent enthusiasts have sus-

1t has been found. that whereas
the life span of the average Amer

as then estimated by insurance
statistclans-it has now jumped TO
1886 years.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that in 1903 there were only
10S50 automobiles in America. In
1913 when motor cars had increase
to 46l,500, the life span of the aver

when that practice becomes general
the enclosed cars will sell as low
