"a Very GOOD Young Man"
to Omen Monday at Murat

EHzaOeth Patterson, stuart Walker
Company favorite Of many seasons,
, VIII on Monday night return to the
fold In one of the important roles
IN Martin Browns hilarious comedy
"A Very Good Young Man." which
VIII be the Stuart Walker Company
attraction at the Murat Theater next
week.
Leroy Gumph. hero of the play, is
undoubtedly all that the title implies.
He is sober, reliable, quiet, earnest,
provident and a host of other good
things as well. In fact, he is good
to a fault. So exemplary is he that
his sweetheart, Pearl Hannigan, be-
comes suspicious of him. No young
man, she figures, could be so perfect
as Leroy unless it is to hide his real
nature. Consequently. when he pro-
poses to her, she tells him fatty that
she cannot marry him until he has
had his f1ing,-"stepped out among
en- as the saying goes.
So Leroy starts out to be very
wicked. He gets drunk, fights the
neighborhood tough guy, steals funds
belonging to the Boy Scouts and runs
away with Osprey Mandelharper, a
Brooklyn vamp. And all to prove his
love for Pearl. But as most begin
ners, Leroy oversteps the bounds in
bis earnest effort to prove that he's
q regular devil of a fellow.
With Osprey, he starts out to paint
Coney Island red. and is just upon the
point of succeeding, when Pearl ar
rives with her mother and Mrs. Man
delharper. There is a scene in Pant
zer's pier pavilion in which Leroy is
denounced as a bold, bad man. and is
told by Mrs. Mandelharper that he
will have to marry Osprey to protect
her daughters name. In desperation
Leroy appeals to Pearl, but woman
like she turns from him. The next
morning he is on the verge of being
married off to Osprey, when Pearl
finally relents and rushes in to save
him-to save him for herself.
The play is in three acts, all Of
which have different settings, ranging
from Brooklyn kitchen to a Coney
Island jazz palace. There is a
quartette Of singing walters in the
cafe scene and a jazz orchestra of
eight pieces aids materially to speed
ing up the action.
The company at the. Cox Theater
in Cincinnati has during the past
week been appearing in the play,
and with the exception of one or two
players will be brought here intact
Though Corbet Morris has had the
title role Of the play in Cincinnati,
IT is possible that at least for one
or two performances Stuart Walker
Will appear in the role here.
In addition TO Elizabeth Patterson.
the cast will include Beulah Bondy,
who will on Monday night make her
first appearance Of the season. Jean

TOMATO GROWERS
LOOK FOR PROFIT

oHBsrERTowS. Nd. Feb. Ia
Farmers from all sections OF this
county gathered here 10 disouss ths
question OF contracting for growing
tomatoes during the coming season.
For several years the price offered
by oanners has not been sufficient
TO assure the growers a reasonable
profit, and last season many refused
10 grow at all because the price Of
Tered. $i2 ton. wound have
brought many hopelessly in debt be-
cause OF the poor yield. Many OF
those who did grow at that price
we're heavy losers because Of a dis
astrous hail storm, which, IN many
instances. ruined whole patches OF
fine tomatoes.
County Agent Horace p. Derrick,
who was in charge OF the meeting.

showed that last year Il cost s4O.75
to STOW an acre OF tomatoes, while
the average yield wac about three
tons 20 the acre. which at the pre-
vailing price OF s12 a ton. would

POLICE TELL HOW
TO STOP CAR IN A
GIVEN DISTANCE
Necessary That White Lines
Be Drawn on Street.
Pavement.

To determine whether the brakes
on a given car are capable of bringing
the car to a quick stop in given
distance, follow these directions:
Two white lines, about three inches
broad, should be painted on the street
pavement with 81 feet between.
The automobile whose brakes are to
be tested should be driven by the own
err at twenty miles an hour.
At the first white line the driver
applies the brakes to the limit of their
capacity.
If the car stops before the second
line is passed the brakes are efficient.
If the automobile caInot be stopped
within the 81 fet the brakes should
be examined by a competent mechanic
at some reliable service station or
garage.
1t is customary for an observer, who
generally is a uniformed policeman,
traffic officer or safety expert, to ride
upon the running board. This observer
notes that the speedometer shows
twenty miles per hour while the brakes
are being tested.
Sometimes the words "Start Mt 20
Miles Per Hour" are painted along
side the line in front of the second
line the word "Stop" appears in large
letters.
The testing space is usually near the
center of the city where it is conven-
lent for tests to be made. These tests
usually take place during dry weather
on hard surface pavement.
While these tests generally are con-
Quoted by the local police department.
it is not necessary that same be done
under the auspices of the cityNalthough
the cooperation of the local authori-
ties should be solicited. In other
words. communities NAV hold volun-
tary brake inspection without the use
of local ordinance calling for same.
While comparatively few cities have
brake inspection laws the statutes in
most states call for efficient brakes.
These tests can be staged by local
safety councils. chambers of commerce,
automobile clubs, etc.

OLD NEW YORK MAP
Relics Of Early Days Found by John
Scantlebury.

A map Of New York state published
in 1880 and an article on Thomas
Mast, famous cartoonist of the Civil
war and reconstruction periods, was
discovered by John Scantlebury among
his personal effects recently at his
home, 3012 Monterey street. The relics
were among other belongings left to
Mr.. Scantlebury by his grandfather,
Samuel Scantlebury, who was the
Chicago correspondent Of the New
York Tribune when it was owned by
Horace Greeley.
Samuel Scantlebury was personally
acquainted with the famous cartoonist.
Mast, whose fame seemed to exclude
all competition for nearly two de-
cades. His drawings were awaited
with keen expectation in every part
OF the country. No man ever reached
larger public, was more thoroughly
appreciated or was better entitled TO
dissatisfaction in the exercise Of a
conscientious skill. il is claimed. He
ended his career with the strange po-
sition of consul general in Ecuador.
The map discovered by John Scan
tlebury is complete with various
tables which give lists of roads, dis
tances, newspapers, colleges and an
nouncemest Of a new stage from Roch-
ester TO Philadelphia. In addition a
statistical table of countries, the
county seats. population, electors and
militia is given.
These two newly discovered relics
are only few of the valuable articles
of historical value which Mr.. Scantle-
bury inherited from his grandfather.

GOOD BRAKES IN

Careless Motorists Face

81 Reckless Driving.

Following is q good method for
booking automobile wheels at 20 miles
an hour, as 4 test Of the braking
system.
An observer, who usually Is a IN

safety official, rides on the running
board of the automobile (, see that a
speed of 20 miles per hour is attained.
When the automobile attains a speed
Of 20 miles an hour, the observer di-

Dictated by the mark the tres leave on
the pavement.
This test is used on hard surface
pavement, convenient to police head
quarters or the rooms of the organ
ization conducting the test.
If necessary, a block or square is
roped off from regular traffic so as to
give full swing to the testers.
In some cities there are special po-
licemen, traffic officers o. safety ex-
perts assigned to testing automobile
brakes. These men make the tests
every day during given period,
operating IN various parts OF the city.
Failure to stop the motor vehicle
within a reasonable distance and in
ability to lock the wheels leads TO an
order to have the brakes adjusted and
report TO headquarters for a new test.
Cars found with efficient brakes are
given a Windshield sticker or the driver
receives a card certifying that his
brakes were in good condition on a
certain date. In several cities drivers
whose brakes are not in good working
order are not given an opportunity to
have them adjusted but are handed a
summons.
While some cities have ordinances
calling for efficient brakes there are
others in which the police conduct the
tests under the broad powers con.
ferred by the charter. Violaters who
fail to have their brakes adjusted
after being SO ordered by the police
are arrested on charges of reckless driv
ing.
