Yale to Send New
Plays to Broadway

New Haven, Conn. - Broadway will
soon be seeing Yale plays, through the
new course in dramatic art which is
to be established at the university
under the direction of Professor
George Pierce Baker, former head of
the famous Harvard "47 workshop"
Professor Baker announced that not
only would Yale prize plays be es-
tablished, but that arrangements
would be made to produce the best of
the plays given in the theatre here
on Broadway under the banners of
regular commercial producers.
The new course, which was es-
tablished by the gift of $1,000,0O0 by
Edward S. Hardness, New York oil
and railroad magnate, is expected to
prove very popular with both grad
uate school students and undergrad
along modern lines, will be built
near the university here for the stud
ents to work in and produce their
plays. Besides classroom work
every student will receive actual,
practical, instruction right in the
theatre.
There will be-" Professor Baker
said, "a distinct advantage in bring
ing the work nearer New York. Yale
offered this fine opportunity and
accepted it."
During the years that Professor
Baker has conducted his course in
dramatic art at Harvard and his fam
Gus "47 workshop" he has given
Broadway many fine plays, several
of which have had long runs, and so
the theatrical world, usually apathe-
tic regarding anything academic, is
taking an unusual interest in the new
course and is looking forward to the
time when plays will start flowing
from Yale.

NEIGHBOR.

Politically Canada is British. In
dustrially and commercially she be-
comes more American. Trade is weld
ing us with this country to the north.
Nearly a sixth of our exports go to
Canada. And two-ffths of her exports
are sold to US.
Business men should realize that
Canada will increasingly be a larger
market for us. Her consumers will
multiply swiftly, including desirable
immigrant stock that will flock into
Canada by the millions. She has
plenty of room for them-a larger
area than continental United States.

SCOUTS HOST TO
BOYS OF CITY
Troop Fl to Sponsor ALL
City Skating Party at
PaddOck's Lake.
IN VITE EVERYBODY

The old days of the community
swimmin' hole will be brought back to
Kenosha next month only this time in
a different form. Troop 81, the Ameri-
can Legion Boy Scout troop, is going
to tackle the job of playing host to
every boy in the city with ice skates.
They are going to stage a mammo 9TH
skating party at Paddock's lake on
January Is, and they are going to in
wife every Boy Scout troop in the city
and every other boy who wants to
come out and have a good time. Pres
ent plans call for every detail to be
taken care of by the Legion Scouts in
Guiding transportation to and from
Paddock's lake.
The boysSwill be allowed the use Of
the Optimist cottage and this cabin
will be made the headquarters Of
everyone in the skating party. There
will be a giant "mulligan stew" served
all day long, and all that each boy is
asked to bring along is potato or
two, carrot or two, or anything else
that goes into a mulligan-and these
are legion.
The day will take the form of big
barbecue on ice. The large cauldron
in the cabin now being used for the
Optimist boys will be utilized all day
and the stew will be served from as
soon as the boys begin to arrive until
they are ready to go away.
Included in the program for the day
will be races and stunts on ice that
will please every youngster and
grown-up who puts on a pair of skates
for the day.
Complete plans for the days festivi-
ties are now being arranged by COM
mittee and these will be announced as
soon as they are made definite.

Philanthropists gave 1870 million
dollars to education and health in
1924.
These gifts eventually will make
the average person more prosperous,
according to the. elder John D. Rookie
feller's theory. He believes that pow
erty is the result Of ignorance and
disease and that, with these two
causes removed, poverty will vanish.
1t is plausible idea, though lot of

wouldn't be kissed, even under the mis-
tletoe at Christmas party.
Jonathan M. Davis, Kansas clog cab
in governor" of the future, found that
out at a holiday dance in Bourbon
county, Kansas, in the year 1885, eight
years before she became his wife.
Jonathan was Is and masterful. Most
girls kissed easily under the mistletoe,
he had learned. This one was new
species.
Therefore he took her home from the
party in a snug cutter, with changing
of sleigh bells over the snowy Kan
sas cornfields.
"By the time we pulled up with a
flourish in front of her fathers farm,
l was ready to serve as many years
for her as Jacob served for Rachel"
he says. "But | wasn't ready to have
her know it."
Two years later, JonLthan went to
the University of Kansas, while Mol
lie Purdon stayed at home and learn
ed to bake white loaf and sew fine
seam. She admits that she wept lit
tie because Jonathan was going to
meet bold co-eds at the university.
To make matters worse, his letters
were few and short. Mollie did not
know that he was struggling to live
up to his maxim, 'No money, no love
affairs
At last, however, he broke his re-
solve and asked her to wait for him.
In 1898, the death of his father
brought him home from the University
of Nebraska, where he was doing his
senior work. He found a heritage of
$4,000 in debts and an unimproved
farm. 1t was then that David turned
"dirt farmer" in earnest. He dismiss
ed all the "hired help" and shouldered
Herculean loads of work himself. He
fought Kansas tornadoes and Kansas
grasshoppers and Kansas droughts.
He married Mollie Purdon on Dec.
26, 1894, just eight years after the
mistletoe incident. She rolled up her
sleeves and set her shoulder to the
broom and the churn and even to the
pillow when necessary. The birth of a
son and two daughters complicated the
problem of living.
Today Davis has paid the $4,000
debt and has increased the farm to a
cattle ranch of 100 acres. He lives in
a modern country house on the site of
the log cabin where he was born, near
here.
After Davis entrance into politics IN
1901, he served IL years in the Kan
sas legislature. The next step was
election to the governorship in 1928,
after a crushing defeat in 1920.
But the pinnacle of his POLITICAL ca
reer thus far came last summer, when
at the national Democratic convention
he stayed in the running for nomina-
tion to the presidency until the Both
ballot.
Leaders of the National Farmers un-
ion and William Jennings Bryan are
responsible for the prediction that ul-
tra-conservative Democrats and Wall
Street henchmen are going to find in
this Lincoln out of the west" for
midable enemy in 1928.
AS for Mrs. Davis, the White House
would mean as little to her as the
governors mansion at Topeka has
meant. She is one woman who actually
scorns high place and would not lift a
finger to gain social precedence.
Her appropriate setting is the large
living room of her Kansas farmhouse,
with its fire of native wood throwing
CLEANS over the old walnut chairs and
the tea table, where she will serve tea,
as soon as she reaches the end of the
row in her interminable knitting.

SKILL.

Christopher Hull, an Englishman,
claims worlds record by laying 500
bricks an hour. Five hundred day
is considered fair speed. The electric
brick-laying machine puts even Hull
in the shade. 1t lays 1900 bricks an
hour, doing the work of 20 masons.
This electric machine comes after
5000 years in which bricks were laid
by hand. A machine now displaces
human skill and, it is claimed, even
does a better job.
Human effort eventually may be
confined chiefly to manufacturing ma
chinery and operating it, even in ag-
riculture.

OIL.

Ours is the promised land. Typical
is the estimate that more than seven
tenths of the worlds oil is produced
in the United States. We lead in nat
ural resources, in production, in pros
perity.
For all this, there is reason. There
must be. We are guardians or
trustees of the lions share of the
worlds wealth, and our leadership is
assured far into the future. Euro
pean civilization is in process of what
may be permanent decay. America
rises-as Rome, Spain and many an
other rose in the past.

DOCTOR.

Should a doctor be allowed to put
incurable patients out of their mis-
cry, under certain conditions? This
question is often debated in the med
ical profession. Denmark brings the
debate into the open by considering
law that would permit this sort of
scientific murder. For that's what it
amounts to--murder. And, according
to the white mans ethics, murder is
not justified by any mOtive-except
war.
