Above all, the guild has been
alert to opportunities. There was
Mr.. Shaw-and it laid hold upon
him. There was light and So

indifferently on our stage-and
it cultivated it. There was Mr..
O'Neill, whose successes produced
by the guild includes "aMrco Nil

There were players, old or young,
schooled or unschooled, eager TO
do the job for the jobs sake. so
long as it was worth doing-and
it gave them opportunity, feeding
their ambition.
In and out Of New York there
was a sustaining public eager

what 1t Is today, undoubtedly the

So great indeed has the num-

season, that is, the time during
which each play belongs to peo-
pie who have. already bought
tickets for it, signt unseen, has
now been extended in New York
from six to seven weeks. This
means that no less than 5000
new members have joined the
guild. Similarly the groups in
cities outside of New York have
been enlarged so that the Chicago
season will be extended from two
to three weeks, and Washington,
st. Louis, Cincinnati and Detroit
have been added to the list of
large American cities supporting
the guild touring units. The list

Is producing short picture for
Pathe that will reproduce football
thrills, college songs and music,
and a snappy talk by Rice him
self on the fine points Of the
amateur sport which of all others
draws the most public attention.
Which reminds us that in the
old silent films showing football
games there always seemed to be
something lacking. 1t was the
rhythmic cheering of the college
partisans, the blare of the under.
graduate bands, and the excited
cries OF the spectators, all of
which combined to cretae an emo
tional atmosphere which was lost
in the films. Rice's Sportlingilt

The Once Over
EXTRA. NOVEL HOP PLANNED!
Hv =. Z. PHILLIPS

EAIhAs nv
Elmer TwitcheI and his friend, Amos Q. Phipp'
announce to the world that they are about to go IN
for q long-distance hop. we would feel ashamed II
we delayed any longer said Mr.. TwitcheI today.
w are about the only two men left in this country
who haven't done It,"
Details Of the flight are somewhat gummed up
due to a difference of opinion between Twitcneh ana
Pipp as to what form the trip should take. Elmer Ia
vors a nonstop hop from Ypsilanti, Mich, TO 5ioa-
el-Kubra, Egypt.
"why do pick these two spots?" he was asked.
Because they are two towns nobody mas iloWn
from or to so far" he explained.
Amos rather favors combining an hours-n-the-
air contest with a long-distance hop, retaining the
best features Of each. He wants to hop off for Egypt
and when he gets there his idea Is TO stay a week or
ten days in the air before lighting and see how the
populace takes it. IF they don't seem excited enough
and we don't get any offers to indorse cigarettes or
90 on a vaudeville tour we won't come down at all,
he explains.
I'VE want to make this flight original" explained
MI. Twitchel. "A mere flight from Maine to Europe
is no novelty any more. You can get more attention
going over Niagara Falls in a barrel or by flag-pole
sitting. 1t is nothing unusual for a man to make a
transatlantic flight he Is an extraordinary man If he
hasn't.
Now we want this flight to knock the public off
its feet. It's gott have hot features. First Of all we
will not sign no with the New York Times TO write
the exclusive story Of our trip. That makes the flight
novel to begin with.
Secondly. / intend TO fly backward; that Is. with
my back to the steering wheel and facing Pipp, who
Will direct my course. This will be a little tough on
me on account of Pipp having halitosis. Come TO
think of 1t. If we are successful 1t will be the first case
OF haltosis to make a trip of that distance at such
speed.
This will win Pipp fame as the first transconti-
mental halitosis flyer.
Thirdly, I will make the entire flight blindfolded
and trying to pick out the cities We are flying over
without peeking or asking questions. / understand
that in the case Of some Of those Spanish and Italian
cities this is very easy.
"Fourthly. we will make the flight in different
clothes from any worn by previous transcontinenta
hoppers. We will wear straw hats. white flannel
trousers and raccoon coats. Nobody has ever flown
the Atlantic in a straw hat so far.
There is only one thing holding up the start" said
Mr.. Twitchell. :
What is that?" he was asked.
Collision insurance" he concluded.

An expert has found that building activities in the
kUnited States at the close of the year 1929 will rep
resent an investment Of s7COO.Oo0.OOO. Since the close
|of the world war from six to seven billion dollars has
been the annual cost for new buildings in the United
States. Population growth. he says. is another factor.
I'm one month, next year. an army Of 5000 enumer-
|ators will try to count the population Of the republic
'bf more than 100. 000 900 souls. Growth Of the coun-
TRY has been steady from the days Of the first census
In 1870 when the population was 4.0000o0 and when
The republic occupied a territory Of $4,000 square
miles, as against 2.e74000 square miles today. There
were only six cities with as many as 5000 people when
the first census was taken. according to the bulletin
issued on the activities of the year.
Speaking Of rapid growth the reader is told that
the population growth Of the United States in recent
years has reached the high rate OF 100000 annually.
This is the conclusion: These new mouths must be
fed: new armies Of workmen must be kept employed;
their earnings and the returns Of the articles they
produce must be re-invested: expansion is constantly
under way; that means new factories. new plants.
skyscraners. churches, schools. homes. theaters and
2otels: new building construction will not decrease
except for possible brief periods. It will likely in
crease for years to come"
Every 10 years the republic adds 100000 souls to
its total population. Every 10 years land development
and building construction represents billions Of dol
lars added TO the wealth Of the nation. Texas shows
rapid expansion and yet the development Of resources
In Texas is in its infancy.
