field was The Comic Supplement-
whose players without exception
went on comfortable ways TO othei
stages a few weeks after the open
ing here. THE Supplement" had al
abundance of good material on dis,
play between eight-thirty anc
twelve-thirty, but it was not wei
co-ordinated. There was nothing like
the we'll proportioned work that the
"Show Boat" offers. 1t is a giant in
entertainment not TO be shortened
merely by decapitation or looping off
the feet.
An astonishingly light-hearted
confidence is shown in these enter
prises relating to play surgery. II
has taken several weeks. maybe even
months. to evolve an intricate and
elaborate performance. 1t is gravely
attempted to chop it to pieces and
then put it together in the short
space of forty-eight hours; leaving
the patient no time to recuperate
before the next supplementary ope-
ration.
II the "Show Boat" does not estab-
iish itself as one of the permanent
metropolitan magnihcences, it will
be because of what had to be done
after its first production and in no
wise due to the material employed in
its earlier rehearsals.
There was perhaps less hazard at
tached to amusement ventures of the
sort depicted by current producers
who have found so much pleasure in
going back to the primitive days of
dime museum and side show. Even
in the midst of the fancifui luxuri-
ance of exotic art, your seasoned
Broadway theatrical man becomes a
little venerable and loves to remin-
isce.. They were quieter days.
Player folk were nearer to their
public. ideas were interehanged, and
mutual helpfulness was the rule.
The "op'ry house" jargon customa-
rily employed in ridiculing the old
time player is usually libeious. He
was likely to be artihcially grandilo-
quent. devoted student of the poets,
perhaps a musician, maybe an ar
fist with brush. always an opti-
T1ist, devoted in his affections, and
happy in his own relationships even
after he had learned to think of
career in the great cities as some
thing which for him must exist only
in Never Never Land!

Scientists Use Rats
in Study of Heredity

In the study of heredity rats
have proved most valuable, writes
III. G. Davis, in Popular Science
Monthly. To observe four human
generations would require the bet
ter part of a century. In two
years rats have told the same story,
for the laws of heredity governing
the rat family are fundamentally
the same as those governing human
life.
Recently laboratory rats have
helped show how science can ex-
terminate their plague-carrying
dock and alley kin. A bacterial cul-
ture, known as "ratinin;" has been
discovered that kills rats, but does
not harm humans or domestic ami
mails. Placed on bait, it spreads
an epidemic among the rodents.
Raised in spotlessly clean sur
roundings, his hours of sleeping
eating and exercising as carefully
regulated as baby's, the rat that
goes to college is an arist0crat He
enters university in the pink of
condition for any rest. 'Prepara-
tory schools" such as Wistar instf-
tute, graduate standardized" rats

and health that one testing labOra-
tory can compare it's results direct
ly with anOther's.

Sersuality Made No
ArrerE to Epicurus

If Epicurus could return to
earthly life today he would be
somewhat surprised to hear his
name as an adjective applied to
persons and things sensual. I'M
partial history represents the
habits of this Athenian philosopher
and his followers as eEcced.aC,.
frugal and temperate.
The members of his communal
school of "Epicureanism' were
mostly poor, but being greatly at
tached to one another, they, in
times of scarcity, contributed to
each others support. Epicurus him
self began his philosophical career
when he was thirteen years old. At
that time, upon hearing a verse of
Hesoid wherein all things are
said to come from Chaos, he. asked:
"And whence came Chaos?" His
teachers referred him to philosophy
and to philosophy he did apply.
He sought instruction from many
masters, but none could give the
youth any solid conviction He
thus founded his own school of
thinking and tried to teach the
world by precept that they who live
simply have no fear Of poverty and
are better able to enjoy the pleas,
ure of life. He was the first to
make philosophy basis of morals,
yet, ironically enough, his fame
is the perverted one of a sensualist.

Sad Indication

Some one had told the woman
that he was backward boy. But
as she watched him playing in the
sunny nursery and listened to him

Shoe-Making Statistics

The Boot and Shoe Recorder
says that no one man makes an
entire pair of shoes. There are
about $50 different operations on q
shoe before ii is finished. Each
operator works ON machine or
process, which contributes to the
complete shoe. The number OF
parts turned out daily by any fac
tory depends upon the size of the
plant, machinery, equipment and
quality of product. Such outputs
range from few hundred to TO-.
600 or more pairs day A factory
making high-grade shoes and en-
ploying 800 men and women might
produce, at full capacity, 800 or
900 pairs daily. The same number
of people working on cheap shoes
might produce 5000 pairs daily.

Horseshoe for Luck

The usual method Of mailing up
q horseshoe to bring good luck is
having the two ends pointed down
ward. This is due to the fact that
some persons think its protective
power to be due to its resemblance
to the nimbus or halo frequently
seen in pictures of angels or saints.
The superstition regarding the
horseshoe as an emblem Of luck
Is believed to be connected with
the custom of the ancient Romans.
They used to drive nails into the
walls of their homes as an anti
dote against the plague.
