Yale 'ss'Out o Luck" Com
edy Booked for Washington

The Yale Dramatic Association,
which will bring it's Winter play to
Washington December 26, has for the
past 25 years fostered an interest In
all branches of the spoken drama.
Under the direction of f.. NJ. Woolley,
Yale, 1911, the undergraduates execute
their own scenery and costumes, man
age the material end of the associa-
ton. and at times actually write their
own plays. Their policy is TO present
one piece of literary and artistic work
! during commencement week each
year Usually it is play seldom seen
on the professional stage, such as
King Lear "Rhesus" or The
Frogs But at prom time and
throughout Christmas vacation they
turn to something less serious. some
comedy fitting to the atmosphere of
the holiday season and suited to the
mood of their audiences. This year
the play will be "Out O Luck a
three-act comedy, by Charles G. S.
Gushing. Yale. 1902.
The play itself was written by a
Yale man and is based on actual Incl
dents in the authors life. Mr.. Cush.
ing conceived the comedy out o
Luck" when he was working in a
y. NJ. c. A. camp near st. NJ. during
the World War. He has incorporated
! into his play a series of experiences
| in which he was personally involved
| The American "doughboy." in all his
varied types, has often been the
| stimulus for shrewd huInor. and the
| Yale playwright has caught this in
mitable subject in an essentially
-unIic mood.
! The action of the play takes place
| Il a French farmhouse close to the
; front, There 10 men come together
individual in character and common
in pursuit and circumstances. They
are all members OF an American com
pany who must suffer temporary isoia
ton from the rest as a result of a
German counter attack. There is the
Crouch" the heart breaker" the
Irish tough" and various other types
which the war threw together in the
hasty intimacy Of Saving democ-
.'acy." There is spy, a love affair
and a trunk full OF theaterical cos
tunes left behind from one of the
Y. NJ. c. "A. entertainments. Mixing
these ingredients with the salt of wit
and the spice of laughter, Mr.. Cush.
ing has concocted a dramatic dish
to animate the mental palate of the
most jaded theater- goer.

TRIBES OF PERSIA
SHOWN IN MOVIES
Pictures Of National Geographic
Lecture Harken Back to Abra-
hams Day.

Remarkable pictures that hark
back to patriarchal days when mans
life depended entirely on his domes-
tic animals were shown last evening
before members Of the National Geo
graphic Society by Merian C. Cooper
ct the New Masonic Temple. These
were modern Abrahams and Lots, the
Bakbtiari tribesmen of southwestern
Persia, who twice each year drive
some half a million cattle, horses,
donkeys, sheep and goats over a
12,000foot mountain range in search
of grass.
Through the motion pictures the
spectators saw a seemingly unend-
Ing stream of men, women, children
and animals tramping over hills and
valleys, crossing turbulent rivers,
scaling rocky cliffs and climbing
harefooted through snowflelda The
most dram attic episode of the migra-
tion was the crossing of a broad river
| swollen by melted SHOWS. The women
and small children were ferried over
on rats supported by inflated goat
skins. The goats. poor swimmers, were
tied and loaded on RATS like cord wood
All the otheI animals were driven
into the cold. swirling waters to fight
their way across the swift current.
The men and boys supported by
water wings of inflated goat skins,
swan among the animals. urging
| them on and extricating them from
difficulties. Scores Of the animals
drown during every migration and it
is not unusual for some of the men
| and boys also 10 lose their lives.
| The BakhtiaH men care little for
their wives and daughters, but they
spend much time teaching their sons
| to ride, shoot and swim while they
are still little fellows.
Until Mr.. Cooper and his photog-
| rapher. Ernest B. Schoedsack, made
the trip, no Europeans or Americans
| had ever accompanied the Bakhtiari
| on their migrations. This lecture,
| given several weeks ago, was repeat
| ed at the request of many members
| because of it's remarkable geographic

Is to set the tuning controls to the
same settings.
This is far from being true, be-
cause there are other adjustments
which are of equal Importance.
Most fans who try for and get dis
tant stations notice how much more
critical the tuning of the dlals is in
receiving such stations, and are also
aware of the marked effect the ad-
justment of the rheostat has in bring
ing in distant stations.
In such cases 1t Is just as impor-
tant that the filamept current be ad-
justed to the proper point as 1t is to
get the proper capacity setting for
the condeasers.
In such cases 1t is impossible to get
the same condition of filament cur
rent merely by setting the rheostat
point to the same setting that gave
best results two or more nights ago
for the simple reason that the ad-
justment has changed because of the
change In condition of the A battery.
Voltage and Current Method.
The only way that a proper setting
can bs obtained Is by taking the cur
rent or voltage reading of the Ala
ment circuit and then adjusting the
rheostat to give the same filament
current conditions.
This can be done in either of two
ways.
One method makes use of the cur
rent method while the other make
use of the voltage method.
II the voltage Of the current across
the filament is to be used as the
standard, voltmeter, having a scale
Of from zero to about eight or ten
volts should be used and should be
connected directly across the fla
ment terminal of the socket as shown
in the diagram by the V in the circle
and not across the battery terminals.
If an ammeter is used, 1T should
be connected in series in the circuit
as shown in the diagram.
1t is not necessary to use both
methods, either one by itself being
sufficient. Then when you try for a
station which you have had before
you can set the flaments to the
proper point and devote your atten-
attention entirely to the tuning con-
trolls.

WEIRD EXPERIENCE

Belgian Professor Tells of Drop

Robbers.

Methods employed in excavations
around the tombs of the ancients in
Egypt and the difficulties and dan
gers encountered were described by
Jean Capart. professor OF history of
art and archaeology in the University
of Brussels. in an illustrated lecture
on Golden Deeds of Egyptian Archie
ologists," in Corcoran Memorial Hall
of George washington University nast
night.
For centuries, he said, the people
of Egypt have given themselves up
to the hunt for underground treas
ures and the time is not far dis
tant when those seeking adventure
will have nothing more to explore In
that country. A large number Of
the discoveries, he said, have been
made by scientists from other coun-
tries. Prof. Capart told of a num-
ber of his personal experiences in
digging into" a tomb more than
Ave thousand years old. The site of
this particular tomb. he said, was
reached at midnight and he proceed

FRENCH WANT TO PAY
DEBTS, ScHWAB HOLDS
Says Cancellation Would Be Unfor-
tunate-Booth Going to
Europe.
BY the Associate Press


NEW YORK, January 24.-TRs
French people are anxious to pay
their debts, In the opinion OF Charles
NJ. Schwab, who began last night his
67th round trip on the North Atlantic,
when he sailed on the Olympic for
Cherbourg, for a weeks visit in
France.
Cancellation of the debt by the
United States would tend TO affect
all international debts. Mr.. Schwab
said, and would be "a most unfortu-
nate precedent"
A. ]. Drexel, whose father was
founder of the Philadelphia bank
ing house of that name, returned to
his home in Paris on the Olympic He
reiterated his suggestion that France
be granted leniency in the matter of
time and terms of paying the debt.
but said that cancellation would be
a dangerous precedent.
w. H Booth, president of the Inter
national Chamber of Commerce, sail
ing on the Olympic. admitted that he
would represent American business
men in connection with international
debts while in Europe, but refused
to discuss in detail the purposes Of
his trip.
