ARTIST PLAYS
IMPORTANT ROLE IN
THE FOOL" AT GRAND

One of the most impressive scenes in
1.-THE Fool" now at the Grand, March
80, is the stirring climax of the third
act. This scene is perhaps one of the
strongest staged in recent years and
leaves an indelible impression on the
minds of those who witness it. One Of
the contributing factors to its success
is Gay Seabrook, in her characterize
ton of Mary Margaret, the cripple
girl. Miss Seabrook's work is one of
keen intelligence and infinite under
standing. To the casual observer this
fact alone would serve to conclusive
ly prove that the young lady was I'M
deniably a skilled artist in her work.
This mere slip of a girl has the true
art of the theater; she holds your emo
lions in the palm Of her hand, you
laugh with her in one breath and get
a lump in your throat in the next, a
true child of the theater; here is her
story, buoyantly and girlishly told by
her recently.

Elaborate costumes, bright staging,
good music and many lovely girls
all found in goodly measure in De Re-
at-Bostick's "Smiles Of 1924" which
comes at the Grand Theatre soon.
"Smiles of 1924" is a musical re-
vue of the most modern type. It is a
real metropolitan production with no
expense spared to bring to the patrons
of the Grand Theatre the best there is.
There are upward of fifty entertainers
in the organization, among whom is
the wonder girln-Annette Keller
man, and surrounding her in comedy
role are Harry Gribbon, Rex Story,
Bull Montana and the Rails.
Then for music, we have Abe Lyman
of the Ambassador Syncopaters. Many
splendid voices will be heard. And the
chorus-you will have to see and hear
for yourself. The girls can sing and
dance, and they are ont the least bit
hard to look at.
Mr.. Nye is most pleased to secure
the De Recat- Bostick's "Smiles of
1924"-for his patrons and has no
hesitancy in guaranteeing all claims
that the supporters and producers
make for it.

Only Small Amount of
Heat Comes From Stars

1t is n little-known fact that the
earth receives heat from the stars. So
small, however, is the amount of
warmth impaired to our world from
the nearest star that it would take
1000, OOO,OOO,000 years for it to boil a
pint of water.
The heat felt is about equal to that
of a candle burning 50 miles away,
says London Answers. The heat of
the stars is measured with an instru-
ment called thermocouple, which con-
sists of two pieces of wire soldered to-
gether to make circle. These pieces
of wire are of different metals, one
piece being of bismuth and the other
mixture of bismuth and another
metal.
The light coming from the star Is
allowed to fall, through the lens of
large telescope, onto one of the joints
of the thermocouple, and the heat is
just sufficient to set up current
which can be detected by very deli
cate galvanometer.

Onions Good Crop
for Small Garden
Staple That Should Be Con-
sidered for Summer and
Winter Use.

Onions are one of the most generally
grown garden crops of the whole list
and yet very few gardeners produce
more than enough for green onions in
the spring, and possibly few mature
onions for winter use. This is due
IargeIy 10 the fact that gardeners are
in the habit Of going to the seed store
and buying Il quart of onion sets,
planting them and calling the job
done. AS "A matter of fact, there are
onions for almost every purpose and
those that mature at different times
Of the year. First, the little multi
pller or top onions can be planted in
the fall and in cold sections given n
little covering of straw during the
winter. Farther south they will need
10 protection whatever. These are
ready for use as green onions just as
soon as the first warm days of spring
arrive and later produce sets to be
planted the following autumn. Then
there are the old-fashioned potato
onions which multiply by division of
the bulbs. These can be planted in
the fall or in the spring as desired,
and are used both as green and as ma
ture onions They are very mild in
flavor and of excellent quality.
Bermuda and Spanish onions can be
grown by sowing the seed in the hot
bed and transplanting the sets to the

Electricity Turns Bullets

1t has been discovered that bullets
are swerved from their course by the
influence of telegraph and telephone
wires. In an experiment at Thun,
Switzerland, four steel cables were
placed parallel with the rifle range,
about 40 yards distant from the marks
men, and current of 5000 volts was
sent through them. The result was
that bullets were turned as much as
"a yards from their course on a range
of 260 yards. Besides, the bullets We're
later found to be magnetized. On an
artillery range of 1900 yards the cleo
tro-magnetic influence was generated

has at least forty investigators and
detectives in his employ.
Thus there is evidence pointing to
the existence of private, as well as
governmental "chekas" in Washing
ton. As might be expected, the
secrecy with which they work encour-
ages exaggeratlon. Reports have been
published that 500 federal and private
detectives are playing hide-and-seek

known quantity involved, one estimate
may be said to be as good as another.
1t can be said, at least, that If there
are not 500 sleuths there seem to be
that many.
One faction of the official popula-
tion of Washington is engaged, no
doubt, in efforts to find out what the
other faction is up to. The Republican

fish oil soap, lead arsenate, calcium
arsenate and bordeaux mixture. The
directions for using the various sprays
and dusts are usually given on the
packages In addition, bulletins can
be procured from the bureau of ento-
mology of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, which tell how
to spray and dust garden crops to de-
stroy insect pests and similar publi-
cations are available on diseases.
Insects that trouble garden crops
are divided into two classes, those that
eat the leaves or stems of the plants
and those that suck the juices of the
plants. Insects such as cutworms,
cabbage worms and potato bugs, and
Il number of others of the eating class,
have to be killed mainly by poisoning.
The sucking insects which include the
plant lice of various kinds, have TO be
killed mainly by contact poisoning,
which is accomplished either by dust
ing or spraying with nicotine prepara-
tions. There are also such insects as
the striped cucumber beetle and the
flea beetles, both of which are very
destructive, but which can be destroyed
or driven off by busting with nicotine
sulphate dust.
When it comes to controlling dis
eases certain of them can be handled
by spraying with bordeaux mixture.
Others, however, are of such n nature
that they work within the plant, and,
therefore, cannot be reached by spray
ing. Cucumber blight and the leaf
blight of tomatoes can be reasonably
controlled by spraying with bordeaux
mixture. Wilt and those diseases
which work in the tissues of the plant
cannot be handled by spraying and
must be safeGuarded against by plant
ing in clean ground and by using
plants that are free from these dis
eases. The old adage "A stitch in
time saves nine" applies in a double
measure to the control of garden in
sects and diseases. In fact. every
gardener should go upon the assump-
ton that the bugs and blights viii
