CAPEK WRITES NEW PLAY
Magic Potion Giving Eternal Life

Magic Potion Giving Eternal Life Latest Theme of ssR. U. R.'s" Author
 karel Capek's latest play is to be quite as original Ss it's two predeces- sors. "R. U. R.~ and The snsect Play" and resembles Bernard Shaws Back to MethIselah." Here is the way Ca pek describes it:
 T had not read Back to Methuse- lah' when I wrote it, but now 1t strikes me that there are many points of similarity. My plot leads up to fourth act with a big discussion in it. It is the tragedy of a singer, beau tiful woman, who Is the daughter Of an alchemist who lived 300 years ago.
 "The alchemist has prepared a po- tion that will give eternal life for the emperor, Rudolph II of Bohemia, whose alchemists' laboratories, clus- tered round the palace walls, are still shown to every visitor to Prague to- day.
 But the emperor mistrusts the draught and the alchemist gives it to his daughter to drink first. She falls so seriously ill that the emperor will have none of it. When the girl re- covers nobody knows her secret, and she keeps it for three hundred years; for the drink was magic after all. 1t is only in her intense world weari- ness that she gives the secret away this While Tn the extremity Of her ennti, drinking with sailors in dis reputable den.
 There is a struggle among the on- lockers for the possession of the for mula. which she wears in her bosom There are those who want endless life, and those who do not. There are arguments for and against. There are those who hold that the world can be bettered by experience; there are cynics who know 1t cannot.
 But when in a terrific outburst against the terror of knowledge she tells of her own experience, every body agrees that the formula must be destroyed and the world remain as it Is. Will the audience reject my arguments? I think it Is possible.
 And if they reject them?'
 "I have been thoroughly enjoying myself writing a book on subject which would be no good for the theatre at all. This does not deal with the making of men, but of gods or a god-from chemical processes pure and simple. One might call 1t The Manufacture of the Absolute, or Making a God,' or something of the kind.
 Tt has meant a whole lot of chem ical studies, which I have always

ALABAMA TIN SHOP
 SPECIALIZES ON AUTOS
Company Turns Out High Class
 Repairing Of All Descriptions

An important part of the business of the Alabama Tin shop, nowadays, is automobile repairs.
 This is not another Ford joke, I. Goldner, the proprietor points out, as the repairs are not limited to "tin Lizzies," but are frequently made on expensive cars. The firm specializes in the repair of automobile wind shields, and on the doors of closed cars where glass Is used
 "Of course, we overhaul and re- pair furnaces of all kinds, too," said MT. Goldner, "but automobile repair work is becoming an increasingly im- portant part of our activities"
 The Alabama Tin shop has been doing business at it's present loca- tion, 913 Twentieth street, south, for IS years, and the character of it's work is well known throughout Bir- mingham

PUTTING IN FURNACES
 IS KEEPING BAN BUSY
Cold Weather Drawing Attention
 To Needed Repairs

Most of the new houses that are going up in Birmingham are being equipped with heating plants. and ac- tivity in construction, as well as the seasonal demand for furnace re- pairs, Is keeping firm in this line of business on the jump. according to c. A. Bain.
 ''The coming of cold weather al ways reminds householders that there are defects in the family furnace. :. says MT. Bain, "and consequently a heavy volume of this kind of work requires attention at this time.
 We are equipped to handle large or small requirements in roofing, sheet metal work and furnace heating. We repair any and all kinds of fur naees, of course, though the type which we sell and to which we are most partial is the Moncrief."
 The Bain establishment is equipped to handle jobs for gravel, slate. tile, tin roofs, metal shingles, composition shingles and ready or rolled roofings of all kinds. The business had head quarters at 1704S First avenue.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-12-17

The iron market has passed the S21 figure for Birmingham base, and orders are being booked by local furnace interests at $21.50 to s22, with no indication of sales being made at less than the former figure.
 Despite the heavy business of the past few weeks, Inquiries and book ings continue brisk, most of them for spot and first quarter delivery. Sev- eral of the larger sellers are under stood to be out of the market defin- itely at $21. and a feeling of optim- ism prevails generally in the indus try.

Same Officers.

A good sized audience, consist
ing of members and a few non
members, were present at the
annual meeting of the Askoy

ming in the town hall.

ager the past season, gave COM

day. There were eighteen cars
from here and nearly 100 people.
The fact that one of those who
we're ordained was an Askov man,
Frede Stottrup, who had lived
here many years with his family,
was undoubtedly responsible for
so many Askov people attending.
Mr.. Stottrup has been called to
the pastorate at Brush, Colo.
The other two men who we're
ordained were Karl Nielsen who
goes to Cordova, Nebr., and Ma
RUS Krogh who will remain at
West Denmark. He was also in
stalled as pastor there Sunday.
Aside from the ordainer, Rev.
p. Kjelhede, Grayling, Mich,
there were four other ministers
present who took part in the
meetings Rev. S. ID. Rodholm,
Askov, president of the church;
Rev. c. p. Hojbjerg, Des Moines,
president of Grand View college;
Rev. H. c. Strandskov, Hutchin.
son, and Rev. j. A. Hoist, Alden.
The 50th anniversary of the or
ganization of the congregation at
West Denmark was celebrated
Monday. That a large number of
people attended the festivities is
known by the fact that dinner
was served to over 400 people
Sunday.

SIS, 1928; sold locally $22.75; re-
ceived for storage, $425.58; total
received 15,630.61. Paid to
farmers $11,437.53; paid for
sacks, freight, etc, $2,675.87;
paid Louis Olsen for handling
$1,517.21.
The amount paid Mr.. Olsen for
handling averaged a little over
6 cents per hundredweight. The
shrinkage on potatoes was about
29o and on rutabagas about 40.
The Produce Assn received for
the use of their warehouse ST.
1859, which amount is included
in the items under sacks, etc.
During the meeting it was
brought up that the warehouse
was in need of an overhauling
and some repairs. 1t was de-
cided to entirely remodel the
house so as to make it more con-
venient and economical to handle
produce; it was left to the new
board to supervise this work.
1t was brought up by the re-
visors that in 1921 the association
paid out some money to patrons
over and above what was actual
ly received for the produce. A
discussion followed but no action
on the matter was taken.
Some patrons of 1922 brought
out that when they delivered
their produce they received 1870
of the market price and were
promised the $3.50 later. They
hoped to receive the $3.50 in the
near future. No definite action
was taken on this matter.
1t was suggested that the value
of shares be reduced so as to COM
pare with the actual value of
present assets, so that stockhold-
ers might reasonably demand a
dividend on their investment
no action taken.
There was nothing mentioned
at this meeting as to the hiring of
a manager or on what method the
business would be run the coming
season.
II was brought up by L. Mos
back in the revisors' report that
Mr.. Olsen was doing all shipping
in his own name, which was not
considered good policy for the as
ISOLATION. Mr.. Olsen answered
by saying that as long as he own
ed the one warehouse he did not
feel obligated to take his name
off the list as a shipper, and
would continue shipping in his

Mrs. Louis Olsen and daughter,
Miss Gladys, returnd home last
evening from their visit at
Akeley.
p. A. Peterson, a stock buyer
from st. Paul, was here last week
and purchased stock from far
mers, shipping out a carload Mon
day.
Sigurd Simonsen returned Tues
day to Askov having just COM
pleted a 5000 mile automobile
trip through the western states
in company with a friend from
Lake Benton.
The Valdemar Jensen family
returned to Montevideo last week
after visiting rlatives here two
weeks. They were accompanied
by Geo. Wentlands who will visit
there for a week.
The Frede Stottrup family left
via auto for their new home at
Brush, Colo, yesterday. Enroute
they will spend three days visit
ing their two oldest boys who are
spending the summer at Tyler.
That it is of utmost Importance
to have good brakes on an auto
mobile has been found out by
some of the Askov people who
we're in West Denmark Sunday
as there were several minor acct
dents and near accidents. Good
brakes are really the most i'm
portant thing about an automo-
bile for without those in order a
car should not be used.
A crowd that filled the tent
turned out Saturday evening to
see the movies of the Battle of
Cameron DAM" However the
big picture. or that which was ex-
pected to be the big feature, was
the short part of the program
and the balance was taken up
with tumbling and Shaping COM
edies. 1t is figured that the
crowd paid all it was worth and
then some, the admission price
being SOC.
The Sandstone division of the
Elwell road has heretofore been
in far better condition than the
Askov division; but lately condi-
tons have changed. A trip to
Sandstone will convince anyone
that the Askov division is now in
fine shape-for which credit
must be given to Christensen
Bros. and their employees. They
have charge of maintaining a 6
mile stretch miles north of
Askov and the balance west and
south.
