"THE SAP"

In contest for the capital prize
in the creation of wholesome stage
humor it isn't likely there would be
but a single entry, and that one, the
inimitable star, Raymond Hitch
cock! To the theatre-going public of
the entire country, and even of con-
servative London, where he has re-
ceived the homage of King and COM
moner, the endearing sobriuuet,
'Hitchy,' unqualifiedly conveys par
in popular stage diversion. 'Hitchy'
is coming to town" is a slogan that
invariably tests the capacity of the
theatre, and this season the event is
made doubly important in the an
that the famous come
dian will be seen in "The Sap" at
the Playhouse, Wilmington, Thurs
day and Friday nights of this week.

London Is Silent
AS Big Ben BOOms
Hour of Armistice
BY CHARLES A. SMITH,
International News service

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE seventh
anniversary of the signing Of the
Armistice which terminated the
World War, was celebrated with
customary impressiveness and sol
emnity throughout England today.
The actual hour of the signing
IL a. m.-was everywhere recog-
nized by a two-minutes' silence.
during which every form of trans
port except the railroads, was halt
ed, and even the telephones and
telegraphs ceased to function.
A cold driving rain did NOT deter
the early morning pilgrimages to
the Cenotaph. The weather cleared
somewhat shortly before II o'clock
when the ceremonies were held at
the Cenotaph.
, Services at CenOtaph
AS in previous years, the coun-
try's biggest and most impressive
ceremony was held at the Ceno.

into this broad thoroughfare to wit

In the immediate vicinity of the

sentative attachments or the navy.

soldiers associations, while to the

pie and arriving dignitaries with
difficulty approached their places.
Shortly before IL o'clock the King
advanced and, amid impressive 81
lcnce, laid a gorgeous wreath at the
base of the memorial. He was fol
lowed by the Prince Of Wales and
the other royal princes, while these
in turn Were followed by represen.
tatives of other members of the
royal family, representatives of the
army, navy, and air force, and ex-
soldiers.
Big Ben BOOms
A hush then fell upon the crowd
and the first strokes of Big Ben,
the Houses of Parliament's mani
moth clock, were awaited in prac.
tical silence, broken only here and
there by the rumble of traffic, and
the hysterical cries of women here
and there among the waiting
crowds.

the entire holdings they were in
the right.
Referee O'Gorman also decided
against Mrs. Helen Gould Sheppard
on her plea to be relieved of liabili-
ties for the alleged wrongful acts
of the Jay Gould trustee on the
ground that she depended solely
upon the Judgment Of her brother.
the late George ]. Gould. On this
point the referee says:
Where q trustee by his negli-
gence suffers his co-trustees to re-
ceive and waste the estate when he
has the means of preventing it by
proper care he is liable to the
beneficiaries for the estate that lie
wasted"
Loaned $50, 200, 900
Referee O'Gorman does not state
in his opinion the exact amount OF
the losses sustained by the estate
through the alleged mishandling of
it's funds, except in his declaration
that they wrongfully loaned the Mis-
souri, Pacific system more than
$50 900 900.
If his decision is confirmed by
the supreme court, before which II

ten days, the trustees OF the Jay

Estate Much Larger
An interesting feature Of the
opinion is its disclosure that the
estate of Jay Gould, which for
the past three years has been re-
garded as worth $4,000, 600 was In
reality worth $96 ,000, 900. This
came about through the discovery
that the late Jay Gould owned
expensive holdings of real estate
in Louisiana which his children
later sold for SIS, 000, 900. The refe'
rec holds in his opinion that under
the laws of Louisiana Jay Gould
had no right to dispose of one
third of this real estate and that
two-thirds automatically went to
his six children at his death, and
therefore when they took title to

Target Practice "JOIxe"
AS for the army's anti air craft
target practice, Brant described ii
as virtually a joke. The gunners
he said, knew the speed of the
was fixed and the ship flown over
a fixed course
"Then the target is towed at the
end of a tape measure, a 2,00O-foot
tow line.
'It is absurd to conduct tests
under such conditions and expect to
get results which would stand UT
in war time"
On REORGANIZATION, Moreland
asked Brant who was to blame for
the deficient personnel of the air
service.
"The economy program" said
Isn't the economy program de
pendent on the appropriations made
by Congress?"
War Department Blamed
mo sir: the appropriations depend
on the economy program"
What do you mean?"
1.-The War Department asks for
fixed sum, due to the economy pro
gram, and Congress appropriates it,
said Brant.

where Congress appropriated more
than the War Department asked
for?''

Navy Refused Cooperation
Major General c. Brant, veteran

scribed the recent Hawaiian air

Brant, who had charge Of all

fled the navy filters refused to CO.

defense Of the Hawaiian base.
There was no cooperation,
Brant said, land could not be ex-

Protein. This very important
constituent is known by the fact
that it contains nitrogen. 1t
serves the purpose of building up
tissue in the body such as muscle,
skin, etc., and constitutes the
curd of milk. Lean meat and
white of an egg are good ex-
amples of nearly pure protein.
Among the hays, alfalfa, clover,
cowpea, or soybean contain the
largest amount. Among the COM
mon concentrates, linseed meal,
cottonseed meal, and wheat bran
contain relatively large amounts.
A certain amount of protein is
indispensable in ration, as
nothing else can be substituted
for it by the animal.
Crude Fiber. This is the woody
part of the plant, which is the
least digestible. The amount of
this constituent increases with
the age of the plant, and is large
in feeds like hays and corn stow
er, and small in concentrates like
corn and linseed meal. Root
crops have very little crude
fiber because the constituents
are very easy to digest. Perhaps
this is because root crops do not
need the support that fiberous
tissues give to the crops grown
above ground.
Nitrogen Free Extract. That
part of the feed stuff which will
dissolve out in ether is called
ether extract" It consists
mostly of fats but contains suf-
ficient other products to make
it somewhat inaccurate to call
this group fat, even though this
term is often used.
The crude fiber, nitrogen free
extract, and fat all serve much
the same purpose in the body.
They supply heat to keep the
body warm, material to be built
into fat and to be burned or
oxidized In the body to furnish
energy. All foodstuffs contain
these same constituents but in
widely varying proportions.
