Cholera Loss More
Thar $27,000,000
Much Can Be Prevented by
Proper Sanitation.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculturs.)
Hog cholera caused a loss Of more
than $27,OOO,OO0 to the swine industry
of the United States during the year
ended April 80. 1924. according to a re-
cent compilation by the United States
Department of Agriculture. More than
half of the total loss occurred In the
corn belt states, where hogs are espe-
cially numerous. A comparison Of the
number of hogs. with the loss caused
by cholera In each state, shows that
the ravages Of the disease are approx
.imntely In proportion to the hog popu-
lation.
In computing the losses from hog
cholera, specialists of the bureau Of
animal Industry estimate that so per
cent of losses from all causes are due
to this dread disease. Most of this
loss can be prevented by the proper
sanitation and the preventlve-serum
treatment. Bulletins giving full infor-
nation on hog cholera, its control and
prevention may be obtained on request
from the United States Department of
Agriculture. Washington.

clover invariably indicate q good rota-

the soil needs them. Finally. provide
an abundance OF vegetable matter IN
the soil by using a short rotation.
The Ohio experiment station started
cropping a 4O-acre field used for va
riety testing In 1894. The first ten
years the field was given one spplica-
ton Of manure for each rotation. Then
the rotation was shortened one year by

ADJUSTMENTS
National" Laugh. Clown,
Laugh.

The melancholy clown, the heart
broken clown, has become a tradition
in literature and drama. Almost the
phrase comes from the lips as trip
pingly as "the melancholy Dane" Not
infrequently, the unhappy mirth-
maker is a self-sacrificing sort of a
cuss-though there have been few
who preferred using a knife on their
rivals.
In Laugh, Clown, Laugh, with
Lionel Barrymore cast as FIX, the
Great FIX" prince of merrymakers,
which opened last night for the week
at the National Theater, the tale runs
true to form The very title gives
notice to the audience that the clown
is destined to unhappiness, FOR other
wise who would thing of admonish-
ing a clown to laugh?
Withal, the play has it's appeal, its
charm. 1t has humor, cynicism and
pathos. Lionel Barrymore has Gre
ated a character in Fix so whimsical 4,
so different" that 1t stands forth as
a remarkable piece of acting. Never
does he falter or step out of the part,
in love or grief.
In the opening act the audience is
treated to a novelty, though tho
theme OF Laugh, Clown, Laugh" is
not new. In the office of a famous
Italian physician-the play is laid in
Rome-rneet Tito Beppi, alias Fix,
the clown, and Luigi Ravelli, youth
full and wealthy.
The one weeps uncontrolledly. the
other laughs. but without apparent
cause Seeking relief from these
strange diseases, they come to the
famous nerve specialist, who dag
noses both cases as love- Flip be-
cause he loves and fears without
hope, and Luigi because he has loved
too successfully. The two patients
discuss their symptoms and conclude
that they might prove antidotes for
one another's diseases. Hnter Simon
eta the ward of Fix. 1t is for her
Fix entertains his hopeless passion.
And Luigi sucCumbs to her charms on
sight.
So Simonetta becomes the physician
for both. and Fix learns to smile ana
laugh-when not on the staSe-and
Luigi grows graver in his love.
The denouement is dramatic. When
Flik learns that the wealthy young
patrician desires to make Simonetta
his wife he steps aside. And In tne
end he comments on how strange II
is a man must weep so much before
he can learn to laugh.
Laugh, Clown, Laugh is the work
of David Belasco. in conjunction with
Tom Cushing-an adaptation OF
play by F'austo Martini. In the trans
formation to suit the tastes of an
American audience the authors have
been clever indeed.
Ian Keith plays the part of Luigi
wonderfully well. His characterize
tion of the young Roman Is an ad-
mirable foil for the Fix of MIR. Bar
rymore. Irene Fenwick is cast as
Simonetta. the center of the love tri-
angle; Sidney Folk as Fiok, the part
ner of Fix; Henry Herbert as the
nerve specialist and Rose Morrison
as Simonetta's maid. The stage set
tings have been worked out with the
nainstaking care OF a BelaSco pro-
duction. and the incidental music is
very good.
