Founders Day is
ObserUed BY P.T.A.

In celebration of the thirtieth birth
day of the Parent Teacher Associa-
tion the community building at
Grand Canyon was crowded to ca
pacity Saturday night February 10.
The stage, decorated with the asso-
citation colors, formed an effective
setting for the display Of huge
candle-laden birthday cake. After an
Introductory speech by the president,
Mrs. S. G. Stephens, in which she
explained the work of the organiza-
ton, its past accomplishments ana
future aims, the birthday candles
were lighted by a group of little girls
each Of whom named for some par
ticular association activity or object
the candles lighted by her taper.
Following the formal ceremonies
there were staged series of most
amusing pantomime shadowgraphs
depicting, in one scene, baby show
and, in another, a surgical operation
which, according to the program was
performed b. the famous "Meow"
Brothers Of Rochester, MINI.
"Dickie, the Canyon Dwarf" ap-
peared with a variety of songs, dances
monologues and musical numbers.
This part was taken by one of the
leading business men at the Canyon,
SO costumed and with stage settings
so arranged as to make him appear
about thirty inches tall.
The balance of the evening was
given over to games, dancing and
refreshments of ice cream, cake and
coffee, all of which was enjoyed by
the large crowd until a late hour.
The entire affair was arranged
and given under the direction of Mrs.
G. E. Sturdevant as program chair
man and netted a goodly sum as the
annual contribution Of the local as
sociation toward the general child
welfare fund.

HAMLET
BY Newman Levy


Last night the boss slips me ticket,
Fer a show by the name Barrymore,
What was wrote by bird they call
Hamlet,
An, believe it or not, kid, I'm sore.
Fer it's gloom from the moment it
opens
Til the time the theaytre shuts,
An the company's half o. them loony,
An the rest of the cast is all nuts.
This Barrymore lad is called Hamlet,
But his real name is George w.
Gloom.
He's regular life Of the party,
He's as jolly and gay as tomb.
His old man was King of the Dem
marks,
An the poor simp's gone weak in
the bean,
Fer his dad has been croaked by his
uncle,
Who, right afterwards, marries the
Queen.
So young Hamlet just hangs around
sad like,
An he talks to hisself like nut,
But as yet he amt hep that his father
Was bumped off by his uncle, the
mutt!
One night he slips out o. the castle,
An goes up on the roof fer some
air,
When along comes the ghost of his
father,
An he shoots him an earful fer fair,
'sThat lowlife, yer uncle has croaked
me,
An has went off an married your
ma.
Will you let that rat hand you the
ha ha 2"
Says Hamlet, "Just notice me pal"
Young Ham has frail called Ophelia,
An her pop is dreary old goof,
An they can't dope why Hamlet's
gone batty,
They don't know what he seen on
the roof.
Well, Ham goes an calls on his
mother,
An he bawls the old girl out fer
Then he ses somethin' move in the
curtain
An he thinks that the uncle is
there.
So he jabs with his sword through the
curtain
An he cries, "Now we're even my
lad"
But it isn't the king, but Polonius,
An he killed poor Ophelia's old dad.
Then Ophelia, poor kid, just goes
daffy,
When she hears how her old man is
II
An she goes around singing like
crazy,
Till she walks in the lake and gets
drowned.
There's jolly old scene in the grave
Where Prince Hamlet gets into a
scrap
With OpheIia's big brother, Laertes,
Who wants to muss up Hamlet's
map.
Then the king says, Nov boys don't
act nasty,
know how to fight this thing out.
I've got some tin swords at the castle,
An we'll frame up a nice friendly
bout"
Then he winks at Laertes and whis-
pers,
wen knock this here nut for q
cool;
I'll smear up your sword with some
poison,
An wen make Hamlet look like a
fool"
SO they pull off the bout like they
plan it,
But the king thinks his scheme may
slip up,
So he orders a cold drink for Hamlet,
An some poison he sneaks in the
cup.
Then Hamlet and Laertes start fight
And the king slips Laertes the
wink,
But the queen she amt wise to what's
AS she swallows the kings poisoned
drink
Then Hamlet gets stuck in the shoul-
der,
An he sees how he's framed from
the start,
So he switches the swords on Laertes,
An he stabs the poor bum through
the heart.
Then he runs his sword right through
his uncle,
An he says, well, let's call it a
day"
Then the queen dies, the king dies,
and Ham dies,
calls it a helluva play.

HORN TYPE LOUD
SPEAKER USED
FOR EXPERIMENT
Ry WILLIAM J. FAGAN
UNITED Press Radio Editor)

NEW YORK, Aug. ia radio
loud seaker Of the horn type, II
feet high. and with a sound range
Of three1uarters Of mile, has been
developed by Westinghouse engin-
ccrs. 1t was first put into use pub
liclv in the downtown New York
section during the welcoming cere-
monies to Commander Byrd and
Clarence Chamherlin.
The horn, according to tho engin-
GERS WHO developed it after inton-
sive experiment, has been designed
particularly for use in large halls
or outdoors. With apparatus recently
perfected, it is possible for the loud
speaker to reproduce Sousa's Band
with all instruments from drums
and tuba TO shrill piceolos at full
Volume, or $500 voice male chorus,
srck as the Associated Glee Clubs
OF America, with the accompani-
ment of full organ or orche stra,
without distortion.
Tests Of the horn at the Wastinp.
house plant at East Pittsburgh, Pa,
developed that it possessed range
IF almost mile. In tests In New
York, this range was maintained,
although it was considerably dimin-
ished during the Byrd celebration
dne to the noisy crowds in the
street ad mcent to the Westinghouse
Building where the horn was install
led for the entertainment Of the
waiting throngs.
The inventors of the "evronen-
tial' horn, as it is technically
known, are DR.. Joseph Stephan and
Clinton r. Hanna, Of the Westing
house Research staff who secured
a patent on their depelopment
This horn Is based on the fact
that a horn does not amplify sound.
as is popularity supposed, said
Hanna, one or the inventors. "It
increases the amount Of sound radi
tion by permitting greater load to
bc placed on the vibrating diaph-
ragm at the small end. With this
point established it was shown
mathematically by DR.. Stephan and
ME that the exponentially shaped
horn is the most uniform sound rad
iator and hence. provides a maxi
mum volume Of sound without dis
tortion
1.-The horn used for the Byrd cele.
hration had an effective length of
II feet. This type horn can repro
duce sounds ranging from the low
est notes on the bass tuba to the
highest notes on the niccolo. -

Mexico Asked to
Be COnsiderate

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. To
safeguard rights of American citi-

in Mexico, the United States gov
ernment has requested that such per-
sons shall not be held incommnnica.
do and that American officials
shall be notified in case of arrest.
The request accompanied for.
nal protest to be presented to the
Mexican government by the Unit
ed States embassy at Mexico City
concerning treatment accorded Jos.
eph. f. DeCourcy, New York Times
correspondent deported from the
southern republic.
The United States government
does not deny Mexico's right to or
der deportation of foreigners which
is authorized by the Mexican con.
stitution, but contends this does not
justify arrests without notification
and holding Americans without
privilege Of communication.
