farmer FINDS
NEW POWER

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 9.--
Al new power source discovery y
claimed by q farmer from the cele-
brated hills Of Brown county. He
Is ellison w. Roth. so. q native Of
Lawrence county, Pa, who asserts
he has invented q magnetic motor
which uses the magnetic force OF
the earth to generate power.
Roth's new experimental fuel SIS
motor, will be demonstrated be-
fore q group of indianapolis capital
lists sometime this month.
Il have had q model operating
for five years" Roth claimed. NY
machine works on the principle
of a compass. I have devised q
means OF changing the polarity Of
the compass needle alternatively
from north to south In such a way
that the needle Whirls in complete
circles"
Roth explained that his motor
operates just like the compass only
that when. 1t reached q speed OF
400 revolutions minute. the bal
machine itself created the electric
current to cause the polarity
change In the points.
In hts contract with financial
hackers of his invention Roth thus
described his magnetic motor: The
inventor has discovered that the
magnetic forces of the earth may
be utilized in creating and trans
hitting horsepower and he devised,
invented and constructed q me-
chanical Levice that will operate
by magnetic force and generate
horsepower sufficient for all prac-
tical purposes where steam, cleo.
tricity or water power is now used.

SOFIA PUTS BAN
ON BE.GGARS

BY international News Service
SOFIA, March with the re-
cent enactment Of an anti-beggars'
ordinance, Sofia has become the
only city in Southeastern Europe
where the visitor is not pestered'
by a horde Of beggars.
The Balkan beggar, always inn
pertinent and insolent whether he
be asking for aims or not, has long
been a thorn in the side of the
Sofia municipality, his filthy habits
and general dirty appearance scar.
ing away many visitors to the city.
Now. with the passing Of the
ordinance, he has disappeared from
the streets and large public build
ings before which he formerly stood.
The ordinance gave the beggars
several weeks grace in which to
find employment with the option
Of being cared for by the State
should they not be able to work
through incapacity, but strangely
enough very few beggars have re-
ported to the Podgumarsky Monas-
terry farm for free lodging and food
under the ordinance.
Police who were ordered to see
that the ordinance was properly
carried out have reported that the
large majority of the beggars were
in fact able-bodied men and women
who have been imposing upon q
charitable minded public. Most OF
them have found employment, al
though few continue 70 circum-
vent the ordinance by varying old
procedure.
Thus one beggar was seen shortly
after passing OF the ordinance sit
ting before q monograph in one
OF the public squares. Over his
phonograph was fixed q card on
which was written: IT play to you
for nothing" It is said this clever
scoundrel makes more money this
way than when he was a profess
sional beggar, as hardly q person
who stops to listen to his music
fails to drop penny in his pocket.

LONDON, March 9.-'In two

be changed to brown. Z
This was the prophecy made TO-
day BY DR.. William Corbett, famous
eye specialist.
London pedestrians, policemen
and office workers viii wear spe,
cially colored goggles for protection,
In the opinion Of the specialist. AL
these changes, according to DIR.
Corhett, will be due to the eventual
effect of the glare and intermittent

We are suffering from over

was the case few years ago.
Up to rs per cent Of children ln

That III why there are so many
more people adults and children

and literary affairs, although the
name really belonged to his grand
mother. His corresponding grand
fathers name was Mac Mulan.
Produced Here
"At Mrs. Beams" was brought to
this country by Lawrence Langner,
director of the Theater Guild of
New York. He first saw it produced
by the Stage Society of London in
1923, and later at the Royalty the
alter. After finding the elusive and
unsocial Mr. Munro, Langner pur-
chased the play for the guild and
produced it as the last play of their
1925-26 season.
Jean Cadell, who created the ia
nous role of the spinsterous, de-
lightful Miss Shoe, came to the
states to appear in the same role.
Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne
were chosen to play the unctuous
brigands who caused so much in
terest and excitement in Mrs.
Beams respectable boarding house.
Munro has considerable talent for
the expression of character, and
when he utilizes it on serviceable
plot, such as he has in "At Mrs.
Beams" the audience nets very de-
lightful and continuous entertain
ment.
George Somnes, director of the
Indianapolis Little Theatre, has
chosen this play as the second Of
fering of the winter season, and will
present it at the Playhouse on Dec.
II, and for five consecutive nights
thereafter.

and refused to even cast a look Of
appreciation at any of the lovely
ladies that the French ambassador
to Spain served notice that Gas
ton, the attache, must have a real
affair with the wife of the Spanish
minister of war because the min
lister was preventing the signing Of
an important treaty between France
and Spain.
The French Ambassador did not
know that his wife was No on
Gaston's list Of affairs and that it
was his own wife who blackmailed
CASTOR into not looking at other
women.
The fun starts when CASTOR
starts to carry out the instructions
of his government. OF course the
scenes are hot, but they are
marvelously played.
No wonder this play was the
smartest thing on Broadway last
season.

Irving Selig, the rotund comic,
again heads the .mirth division.
Never has he been more humorous
than in the impending show and
never has Selig been provided with
as clever material.
Aiding him in the fun section is
Ben Lerner, an experienced Dutch
dialect creator, who wins laughs
galore through his unique eccentric
tiles Of wit. Fred Reese is the
straight man of the piece and Nat
Tucker has much to do as the
snappy juvenile.
A trinity of pretty young women
head the all-essential feminine ele-
ment. Rose Lee is the prima donna
whose blues songs are always well
come.
Alice Duval is the little French
ingenue, a winsome miss who sings
and dances and makes herself a

AConedy
AT Mrs. Beams Will Be
Next Little Theatre
Play.

NEW YORK first-nights are usu-
4 ally marked with the presence
of the playwright, whether or not
he thrusts himself visibly upon the
expectant audiences-and particu-
larly when the specific dramatic
opus has been proved successful.
However, c. K. Munro, author of
"At Mrs. Beams" which will be
presented for the first time in In
dianapolis on Dec. IL and the week
following by the Indianapolis Little
Theatre, had the unique experience
two years ago of having two of his
plays arrive on Broadway stimuli
taneouSly, but he was not among
those present at either production.
The reason for this was primarily
because the BritiSher was thousands
of miles distant, across the ocean
either because he preferred to enjoy
the spectacle vicariously from the
British Isles, or possibly because he
couldn't decide which performance
he should attend. At any rate, the
plays thrived happily in the states,
even without their brain parent and
ran successfully in New York during
the spring of 1926.

This pair of dramatic works
which Mr.. Munro was responsible
for consisted of "At Mrs. BEAMS"

sented on the same evening, April

Munro is held in great esteem as
dramatiSt in Great Britain-is a
great listener, with keen, penetrat-
ing eyes, and is decidedly non-the-
atrical. During his London reh'ear-
sails, he watches proceedings care
fully and shrewdly, plays the role
of observer, helps whenever he is
needed, but for the most part, quiet
ly comes and goes in a modest, shy,
unobtrusive manner. Both George
Bernard Shaw and Somerset Maug-
ham regard him as one Of the keen
est of contemporary playwrights. He
is known under the name of &C. K.

comes in contact in his dramatic
