Something to
Think
A PRICELESS TREASURE
b F. II. WALKER

WITHIN your house of clay there
w is a rare treasure, worth more to
you than all the wealth of the world.
This remarkable jewel, which you
have never seen, is you, yourself, hid
den all the time from your most search
ing gaze.
Even by looking into a mirror, you
can not glimpse its form or discern Its
beauty, though at every moment of
your life you are conscious of its ex-
istence.
This wonderful gem, this spark of
enduring vitality. controls your
thoughts, stirs your emotions and
bestows happiness or wretchedness.
1t leads you to destiny. In the twin
king of an eye it is capable of arous-
ing the fondest love or the most des-
picable hate.
1t may be generous or selfish. noble

V e it's nature, it's erratic moods are
beyond all human understanding, new

one moment to another.
To know yourself is to spend a life
time in the quest and fail at the end,
yet the quest is worth making.
You may be among the worlds
greatest philosophers, but be rs ignor-
ant Of yourself as a wooden spoon.
You cannot say with certainty wheth-

Snakes Dinner

AS one field mouse may kill ten
trees a year, and a single snake will
eat $50 mice in a season, is not one
snake worth 1,5OO trees? The Reptile
Study Society of America held its an
nual dinner in New York, sounding
once more the keynote of its policy
and definite aim, protect the snakes"

been taught to respect the wise old
owl as the sworn enemy Of rats mice,
and other rodents which do such ire
mendous damage to our trees and
crops. The snake is equally with the
owl the friend Of mankind.

SHAW URGES BULGARS
TO LAUGH AT SELVES
Dramatist Replies to Attempts to
Erase Lines From Play Now
in Berlin.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associate Press.
BERLIN. October 7-Balgarian stu
dents in Berlin and Vienna are ad-
monished by Bernard Shaw, the Irish
dramatist, to develop a sense of hu-
NOR. The writer promises to assist
them in this, pleading that such an
acquisition will eliminate future trou-
BILE.
The playwright's advice is embodied
in a whimsical letter written to a
Berlin editor, which was prompted by
the recent furry over the production
of Shaw's Arms and the Man." to
which the Bulgarian legation made a
formal protest and which subsequent
ly invoked the Intervention of the
German foreign Office in a censorial
capacity. The foreign office proved
diplomatic, the Bulgarian colony in
Berlin was appeased and the local
producer of the play became the bene-
ficiary of unexpected publicity.
Urging that the function of the
writer OF comedy is the 'hastening
of morals by ridicule," Shaw in his
letter assumes that civilized Bull
quite as much as do German audi
ences, as they are more directly in
terested. He continues:
"The barbarous Bulgarians (Bul-
garia, like other nations. has its rus
tics and its barbarians) behave exact
ly as my own countrymen behaved
when Synge's 'Playboy of the Western
World, was performed in Dublin. But
for the credit of their country's civil
lization, I appeal to them to sit and
smile and applaud like the rest,
even If they feel they would like to
shoot me, as many people do in Eng
land and the United States"

played a major part of the dumbness
which forms the piece de resistance
of the drama.
During the prologue a gigantic
spectacle enacted on a gigantic scale
l0.S54 wives asked their husbands the
difference between a shortstop and a
backstop: $3.50 wanted to know If
the game would go on and what the
police would do when Sam Rice stole
second base; 1905, thinking only
homeruns counted in the scoring
were perpleXed to learn the final
scores; 4.515 asked if the four men
in black suits and caps at each cor
ner of the diamond were pallbearers
| ready to carry off any one who died
trying to stretch a base hit; 6.S52
wondered to themselves if Bucky Har-
ris is married; slightly more than
| that number thought the fielders had
to hit the runner with the ball to get
him out and that the pitcher had to
hit the batter to strike him out; ap-
proximately 1000 insisted on know
ing what kind of hit the batter was
going to make; and nearly all of
them wanted to know how many um-
pires the battery generated
simultaneously there were thou
sands of pouting faces when hus-
bands were aggravated into making
sarcastic replies now and then or
endeavored in hoarse whispers to si-
lence the embarrassing outbursts
Many wife received violent dig
in the ribs when she started to clap
and yell at the wrong time, or on
the other hand. failed to sense the
proper occasions for applauding.
A dull undertone Of masculine
voices brought the prologue to
close with a muttered chorus:
Dumb wives"
The main feature will be repeated
this afternoon and tomorrow, after
which the prologue will be put on
again at the local ball park.

to Radio Sets.

While the stage for the world series
base ball drama has been removed for
the time being to New York, Wash
ington is being treated to an extra
added attraction, entitled Dumb
Wives" (Not a picture).
This little playlet, comedy with
touches of pathos. has for it's setting
an average living room. equipped with
the Indispensable home radio outfit,
in front of which sits the average
Washington wife, with head phones
clamped tightly to her ears. her body
bent over in the act of tickling the
cats whisker. her face flushed with
excitement
On the floor behind here the baby is
cheWing the heads off a handful of
matches and through a side door an
older child may be seen standing on
a chair in the pantry.
Dinner Burning Up.
A thin haze of blue smoke is curling
toward the front of the house from
the kitchen and the appetizing odor
of scorched potatoes may be detected.
The front door opens and in walks
the dutiful man of the house. who
has Smothered a desire to watch the
scoreboard downtown in order not
to keep dinner waiting. and decided
to listen to the game Dy radlo. AS
his eye shifts from baby to wife
to pantry and as his nose shifts the
haze that hovers over all, he starts
forward, ejacuiating: Mary"
Mary turns around, an anxious ex-
preston on her face, and bursts
out: "Oh, John, I'm so glad you came
when you did. I'm a nervous wreck
waiting for Babe Ruth to come to
bat When do they give him his
turn?'
But Mary. Ruths eating matches
Jacks in the jam and the pans
on f1re."
Don't use that base ball slang.
John" replied Mary impatiently.
Tell me in plain words"
Hubby does.
Curtain.
This little one-act performance is
going big in most of the homes of
our fair city these days. AS it is
repeated from day to day and in diff
ferent settings, the characters may
change slightly and the scenes vary
somewhat. but the plot Of the thing
remains virtually the same
The play had its prologue during
the first two games of the world
series, with the colorful humanity

a background. 1t was really there

PRIEST TO GET new
TRIAL IN RICHMOND
Granted Writ of Error After Con-
viction and Sentence for
Forgery.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
RICHMOND, Va, October THE
Rev. Nacisse P. Denis. who was tried
in the Corporation Court here on a
charge of forging certain papers has
been allowed a writ Of error and
supersedeas in the Supreme Court of
Appeals.
He was given a sentence of two
years. The case Of the priest Is one
that attracted vast amount of at
tentfon. having as its central figure
young woman who appeared
to be much interested in works
OF charity. and who imagined
she possessed millions. which she pro-
ceeded to give to charity and for
good works. This young woman. Miss
Veronica L. Crump, appeared at the
mission over which Father Denis was
presiding and directing, volunteered
her services, and soon thereafter was
visited with sights and voices that
were not audible or visible to others
There appeared letter from James
A. Montague of New York, claiming
to be lawyer. which recited that he
had been made guardian of Miss
Crump, who had been left the estate
of a Mr.. Purdie of near Richmond
Later there appeared bank deposit
slip on New York bank for $4,000.
in the petition that the slip was an
imitation and was printed here by
local printing firm for Miss Crump
and delivered to, her The signatures
to the certificates of deposit are
crude and have no appearance of per-
sons engaged in such business, being
scrawls and evidently amateurish.
A well known lawyer here was
employed to draw up bequests from
the imaginary millions of Miss Crump
and then drafts for money appeared.
These were not honored. Illegal
drafts for payment of property to be
used for orphanages were made.
Then the priest was arrested. He
told the complete story. Miss Crump
was placed in an institution for
treatment and was released and is
now with her family. The priest is
out on bail.
The petition shows that Father
Denis was handling considerable cash
in connection with the mission, and
there had never been any question
as to his correctness in every manner
Father Denis is of Canadian parent
age, was educated in Massachusetts
and Baltimore and is member of the
JoSephite order.
