Ruhr Industrial Town
 Holds Shakespeare Week

Shakespearean plays draw capaci- ty houses even in mining and in- , dustrial city like Bochum. Bochum is Nestphalian town of 150, 900 in the heart of the Ruhr coal districk Ambassador Jacob Gould Schur- man learned this to his surprise when he was recently invited to at tend the annual Shakespeare week.
 This yearly event usually takes place at Wcin!ar, the idyllic, almost dreamy Thuringian capital famous for its memories of Goethe, Schiller, and Liszt. To show that an indus trial community also has an ap- preciatiOn Of such things the Shake speare week was successfully trans ferred to BOchum.
 Tt is a great thing" Ambassa- dor Schurman said, flor a commer- cial and industrial city like Bochum 10 make possible Shakespeare week. Nowhere on earth is there anything like it. Nowhere else did anybody think of placing the works of the great poet right amidst the hard labors of everyday life-a sym bol, as i: were, of the close con- nection existing between the prac- tical and the spiritual life of hu- manity. That Shakespearc's worka should experience modern rcsur- rection in Boethum is sign of the , high culture of Germany

London. July g. Rs-Newspaper enterprise in London has taken q new direction. The Daily Express has challenged the government to place the telephone system of the kingdom in it's hands. guaranteeing to increase present profits by 5CO per cent, and insuring a more ef- ficient service.
 The London newspaper compares the British telephone service very unfavorably with that of the United States and Canada. The engineering staff and the operators are the eaua! of any. the Express says, but the higher control is not equal to it's task.
 The creation of new residential sections around London, the news paper says, "has far outstripped the vision of the telephone administra- tors. New districts have been created of recent years without any ade- ouate telephone service. Instead Of foreseeing the development the Post Office vainly tries to catch it up
 The Express suggests that the government, which operates the telephone through the Post Office, should advertise its telephone fla cilities as is done in the United States, and should create more pub lie telephone stations.

The two Connecticut men or their visit to Rockville had a panoramic sketch something like the Mirror of Ireland" When they presented it in the Rockville hall, the show went fiat. The audience hooted and howled. The lights were turned out and the members of the cast were forced to leave.
 AS they hurried down the street to their hotel, Mir. English has a vivid memory Of the rat-a-tat-tat of stones on the bass fiddle carried by member of the orchestra. It was poor show and MT. English had a rocky road while with it.
 Shortly after this episode. Hi Henry wrote to him and upon the assurance that he was producing a good show, Mr English joined his company and his misfortunes were at an end from that day to this.
 In reminiscing, MT. English recalls trip to Canada which had an amusing feature. With Tom Murdy and his wife, he went to Winnipeg, Manitoba. which in those days was q wild town. The Canadian Pacific railroad was just being built through the section. The act played in halls, saloons and any other place available. The railroad was being built in sections At the end of one section town of tents would be erected until the section was fin ished and then it would be moved farther on. At one of these past Calgary in a place called Silver City, the act arrived and prepared to per form. The town had been deserted but as each had saloon as a nee essary part of the village. the con- pany appropriated it for a show house.
 The bar was turned down for a stage. Candles were used for foot lights and railroad ties, piled three high, served as seats. As daylight lasted almost to midnight, the show didn't open until 10:30 o'clock p. m.
 On the first night at s1 admission. the hall was packed. With hopes high because Of this success, the troupe prepared for the second night. Each member of it was in front of the hall playing his or her instruments.
 Half past ten came and no one appeared. The hour of 11:30 struck and only seven people were waiting to get in. Puzzled. Tom asked one of the men there what the matter might be. He was then told that the entire populace had seen the show the night before.
 The saloon was built of logs and on the first night, many people all gathered outside and pushing the mud out of the cracks, had seen the performance free of charge.
 The company was forced 10 pack it's belongings. wait three days for train and return to Winnipeg. A di- vision of the spells showed that each had just s6o .which wasn't so bad, Mir. English says.
 Hundreds of these anecdotes can the local man recount but he has little to say of his remarkable rec ord as an actor. Some day perhaps, when he grows old. if he ever does. the life history of Tom English will be written and 1t will surely be one of the most interesting of tales.

 OF STAGE CAREER
Veteran Entertainer Concludes
 Solid Run Of Two Years

The prime of a mans life is usually understood to be the perio1 when he is youthful and vigorous and in the heyday of accomplish mcnts. The athlete in later years looks back to the days when his blood was fired with feats of speel the actor when his public held him in popular favor and the others who have occupied prominent places in public life. when they were at the height of their careers
 Not to many is given the ability or the fortune to keep on in their chosen profession but New Britain can boast of one exception to the rule. To Tom English, internaton- ally known thespian his prime has, not yet arrived or if it has. he is just experiencing the age. An actor, one of the best in his peculiar line steadily for the past fl years. and with his first appearance in public dating back to 51 years ago, he has just finished tour of the country which lasted for almost two years, meeting with unprecedented sue cess in every appearance.
 MT. English was one of the spc- cialty performers with the stars of Other Days" vaudeville act tha. has just finished triumphant march from.

He has taken up his abode at the home on Clark street which has known his family ever since they arrived in this city and he plans 10 rest for the summer and probably resume his theatrical role in the fall.
 Returning to the stage after {, long absence as a member of the company known as "The Five Jolly Corks," Mir. English soon was offer ed better opportunity with the stars of Other Days"
 The act was organized and gave performances in September, 1923. For several months it remained in New York and in February of the following year started west to play all the large cities between the At lantic and Pacific coasts.

says Every DiannOnl Gan Be Identified

Diamonds have an individual ap- pearance, by which one may be dis tinguished from another, says a French scientist. NJ. Mallaval. Mallaval says he has perfected a process in his laboratory at Lyons whereby lie can throw an enlarged picture of diamond on a screen and reveal it's characteristics.
 Violet rays, he says, bring out different colorings and different ar. engagements of colors in various stones. Experts say this method of identifying diamonds is importan. in the trade. It is expected to|serve in police work also.
 When famous stones, such as the Rose Diamond," stolen from the Chantilly chateau last year, come into question, some experts can be found to identify or describe it, because there are few or none like it. but there has been no syster' of positive identification.

 The seven-round boxing workouts yesterday, after day limited to golf Thursday, proved that Jack still has a lot to learn about swapping left hand iabS with the Speedy little fel- lows. Johnny Saxon. Allentown Joe Cans, Dave Shade and Marty Burke all scored at will with that punch when Jack obeying instruc- lions, tried to box them.
 But when the ban was removed and Jack weTt back to his slow footed style of boxing and slamming short arm punches to the body. the situation changed completely. Petro Corri. who in previous workouts had absorbed successfully every thing headed his way, went down and out on three left hooks to the head. Italian Jack Herman, ew-comer to the sparring ranks. suffered knockout in two minutes of his round.
 Jack showed many faults punch ing the heavy bag after the ring drill. He was slow of foot. boxed high on his toes lost his balance easily and had little snap to his punches.

Champagne Dispute Settled At Last

The Battle of Champagne seems to be over. Parliament thinks it las settled wine war that caused riots at Ay 20 years ago and has lasted ever since.
 Wine-growers of the champagne district. around Rheims and along the Marne, used violence at that time to prevent champagne makers from bringing in wines from the neighboring Aube and Upper Marne departments and bottling them as champagne, after the usual process of putting the fiZz in them. They objected later to the sale of these wines as second zone' champagne. charging that the "second zone" be- came smaller and smaller on the labels.
 Courts have been busy for years trying 10 settle the quarrel. Finally all agreed to let one deputy. Ed ouard Barthe. famous expert, set tie the question. His report, limiting champagne to the traditional cham pagne district and defining the type. has been written into the law, and peace seems restored.

 These two boys had an idea for lathe and when they left New Brit ain, they worked with the one object in view of putting their idea on the market. One brother worked while the other went 10 school for tech nical education. One took to the road selling lathes always with the idea of setting up in their own busi- ness.

Wurttemberg And Baden In Suit Over River Water

Wurttemberg and Baden. next to Bavaria the most important south ern states in the German Reich. are calling each other thieves in the supreme court at Leipsic. Each maintains thae the other is stealing river water
 Wurttemberg claims that the Ba- denese are maliciously and deliber- ately drawing off waters from the Danube, to the detrimont of Suabian industry.
 Baden hotly replies that this is not true. The Badenese admit that their River Aach every year gath CTS up lot of water from the Dan ube But this, they contend, is the work of nature. They say Wurttem- berg is stealing.
