HAMPDEN, SHORTLY IN
ROSTAND PLAY

One Of the most distinctive fea-
lures Of the presentation of Wal.
ter Hampden's "Cyrano de Ber-
gerac" is the espritIde-corps Of
his affiliates and co-workers. :
There is such a. .verve, decisive
ness and coordination in the en-
tire performance that one uncon-
sciously compares it with the
Coincide Franchise, Paris or the
Moscow Players. Such a COM
parison is, to certain extent,
permissible, in-as-much as nearly
all of his principal players have
been his colleagues for from three
to six years and, in fact, there
are a few of them whom he con.
siders his permanent co-partners
in giving life and expression to
the master efforts of the worlds
greatest dramatic. literature. Mr..
Hampden's argument in favor of
establishing permanent organi-
zation is that by so doing the
various players become familiar
with each others methods they
understand the significance of a

THIRST FOR EDUCATION
 GROWING IN WASHINGING

OLYMPIA, Wn., Feb. 8.-The ten dency during the past ten years to- ward adopting education to the prac-- tical things in life is given by state education department officials as one of the reasons for the increase in the number of students who continue their education through high school and colleges in the state In fact the movement toward more education for the average person began 20 years ago and the increase in per centage of the number of pupils entering high school who graduated has been grad ually growing since the first records available in the department of educa- tion files
 The drawing power of high wages and scarcity of labor during and shortly after war is shown in slum amost 50 per cent in the number of graduates in the class that began high school in 1914-15 excepting to gradu- ate in 1917-18 as compared with the graduates of the class the year before.
 Of the 2,572 high school pupils who enrolled in 1902, S17 or 519 per cent received their high school diplomas four years later. This percentage of graduates was not equalled again, however, for ten years as it sank to 27.3 per cent four years later. The steady rise began with the class en- tering in 1910 and with the exception of the war years has shown a con- sistent growth until of the 17,S98 pu- pills who enrolled in high school in 1919, there were 7,738 graduates, or 432 per cent graduated in 1923.
 A more remarkable growth was shown in the number of eighth grade Pupils who enrolled in high school the

MT. H. H. Hall, superintendent of the Mackenzie river section of the Hudson's Bay posts, and P. H. God fell, general inspector, arrived in Se- ward Wednesday about 40 days out from Herschel Island, the most nor-- therly post of the internationally known company, about 1900 miles north and east of Seward The party left Herschel Island December 29, af- ter spending Christmas at the post, making their way up the Mackenzie river to Fort McPherson, thence down the Porcupine to Rampant House, then Fort Yukon and Circle, where they abandoned their dog teams taking the stage line to Fairbanks, via way of Miller House. They reached Fair banks last week, and were delayed several days by reason of the acci- dent at Windy where a freight loco motive left the track
 The weather while intensely cold at times was good and the party made what is considered a record trip from Herschel Island to Fairbanks. While coming down the Porcupine river, Messrs. Hall and Golfell saw hundreds of thousands of caribou, the party travelling through vast herds of the animals for days and days, the trail being so we'll broke by the animals that it made for fast travel The car 1bou herds apparently are working to- ward the upper Porcupine this winter, and the Indians along the stream are enjoying season of unusual prosper ity, having food in abundance. Fur and wild life in the Porcupine section Is very abundant this year, and the catch of Arctic fox has been unusu ally good

 SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 9.-Im- prisoned for ten days in the hollow of giant oak tree into which he had fallen, Harry Comstock thirty-one, was rescued by Bexar county deputy sheriffs and farmers, who cut into the tree with an axe. He drank a gal. lon of water within a few minutes. He had been without food or drink during his imprisonment.
 Comstock told those who rescued him that he climbed into the tree to seek shelter and that he fell into the deep hollow of the tree. He tried to get out, but failed. At intervals for ten days he shouted for help. Grad ually he grew weaker.
 Finally some one walking through the Otto Kelley ranch heard a cry for help. It was traced to the oak tree and help was summoned.
 It took half an hour to hew into the trunk where the man was i'm prisoned. He was so weak that he could hardly speak and his voice was husky for want of water His body was bruised all over from struggles escape.
 Comstock was taken to a hospital at San Antonio. Food was given him gradually, medical aid was admins tered, and physicians say he will be none the worse off for his strange ex- perience.

 Greer was present and when the hearing was over he stepped to Dimes bedside and extended his hand. The wounded man grasped it cordially and smiled. That's all right, old man. he said.
 Earlier in the day Miss Normand, flashing a smile and a friendly "how- dv do' toward Greer as she took the witness stand, told her story of the shooting before crowded courtroom while Greer chewed gum and listened closely. Her memory was hay as to much of what transpired in Dimes apartment New Years night, but she was sure she did not see the shoot ing, only heard what sounded like fire-crackers popping off, and I made absolutely no objection to them be- cause I'm used to fre-crackers and all that sort of thing around the studio" She was with Edna Purviance, anoth- CT motion picture actress at the time, she explained, in a bedroom adjoin-- ing the room where the shooting oc- cured.
