MEANS FOR MITIGATING

In the future as In the past,
business is likely to have its ups

that the violence Of the fluctuations
may be somewhat mitigated. A

Of unemployment that is to follow.

AMERICAN FARMERS ARE

A recent traveller returning from

OF America exceeds that in European
countries. In the portions Of Europe
he visited the farms belong - the
peasant class, they wear wooden
shoes. they are poorly dressed, they
seldom have an automobile. and their
homes are rarely equipped with the
modern conveniences. Sanitary CON
ditions are far from ideal The farms
are small. they seldom change hands,
and the farmers supply heir own
wants largely from What they grow
on the farm. While they sell some
produce the amount OF business done
by any one individual Is compare

High School Play
Splendidly Given
By Clas S.

The High School senior play, Come
Out of the Kitchen" by A. +. Thomas,
was presented TO a large crowd in the
college auditorium Friday evening
The production was under the direction
u Kathryn Firebaugh Damson, dram
attic Instructor 1t the college.
The play is a clever three-act COM
edy based on the story of the same
name by Alice Duer Miller. 1t por-
trays the financial troubles OF the sons
and daughters OF an old, aristocratic
Virginia family. The parents are So
journing in Europe for the benefit of
the fathers health. As a last resort
TO save the Dangerfield mansion from
creditors the young people rent their
home to Yankee millionaire; who,
without regard to cost, desires to live
in typical southern home during the
hunting season. Thru his attorney
Scion Tucker, Crane the millionaire,
has arranged with Weeks, the Danger
field agent 10 make plans for his visit.
Weeks has spent a great deal of time
trying to persuade the Dangerfelds to
rent their home, but they finally con-
sent.
The first scene opens just before the
arrival of Crane, and Weeks is des-
perate because the servants whom he
has hired in New York have not
arrived. Much to the sorrow of
Amanda, the Dangerfelds Nanny,
il was stipulated in the bargain that
no negro servants would be allowed
in the house. Olivia finally conceives
the plan that, in order to meet the
bargain Weeks had made with Crane
in regard to servants, the Danger
fields; Olivia, Elizabeth, Paul, and
Charles would act as servants. At
first the rest of the family is scan
dalized. but they are finally pursuaded.
From this point the play is scream.
Crane arrives with his attorney,
Tucker, and his guests, Mrs. Falkener
and her daughter, Cora. 1t is the
desire of Mrs. Falkener's life to marry
Cora to Crane, but Cora is very much
interested in a young poet named
Lefferts.
The troubles that the Servants"
have, and the complications that arise
from the funny situation of the young
people being hired help in their own
home supply the humor. After many
trials and fluctuations, the story finally
leaks out, and Crane gets cook" for
life.
The leading roles were taken by
Mary Lake as Olivia Dangerfield and
Charles Wright as Burton Crane.
They both handled their parts very
well and showed ability in portraying
their characters.
Violet Bates made a great hit as
the snobbish Mrs. Falkener.
Lucy Russell was scream as the
old colored nanny and took this part
to perfection.
Ruth Delo and Margaret Owen, al
though they had minor places in the
east, both deserve credit for their
work.
The part of Charles Dangerfield,
alias Brindlebury was portrayed by
Bud Winslow, and this young man
brought laugh every time he ap-
peared.
Hugh Aiken and Aubrey Spann both
made very excellent and dignified
lawyers.
