Assistant Corporation Counsel Francis
l. Stephens, to whom many knotty
0ints of the municipal law are referred
rs come to the conclusion that archery
not an amusement, much to the
musement of the wolverine Archery
TO-, which maintains two archeries In
Washington, one on New York avenue
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets, and the other on Ninth street.
Had Mr.. Stephens decided that arch
cry was an amusement, the wolverine
Co. would have to pay 500 year In
license fees. BY classifying 1t as
shooting gallery. however, the license
fee required is only $l2.
Wade Coombs, District superintendent
of licenses, first raised the point when
he sought to assess the archeries
500 license fee on the ground that
they were "amusements." The archery
proprietors, however, insisted that they
were shooting galleries, and brought in
the law to prove it.
1.-THE word shoot means to let ny,
or caused to be driven with force, as
an arrow, bullet, or other missiles, from
a bow, sling, gun or the like" the VOL
VERNE people insisted, quoting from a
decision in an Oklahoma court.
Mr.. Stephens examined the argument
and found it reasonable. IT am inclined
to think that archery is fairly classified
as a shooting gallery" he wrote. Ger
tainly its resemblance to q shooting
gallery, where firearms are used, Is so

ADJUSTMENTS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


Choosing for its second production Of
the Washington season the farce based
on Ben Jonson's "Volpone," the New
York Theater Guild again covers itself
with glory. Superlative acting, beauti-
full and effective stage settings and a
sardonic indictment of some of the
familiar frailties Of human nature are
combined in an evening of rich enter
tainment that will amply repay the
theatergoer.
The program explains that "Volpone,"
one of the famous comedies of Ben
Jonson, has been made the basis for
the farce that bears the same name,
written by Stefan Zweig and translated
by Ruth Langner. The modern version
of the ancient tale has been softened
some and toned down to meet the
taste OF generation that has grown
more jealous OF its SenSibilitieS. But
In the process of toning it down little
has been lost. Ben Jonson's cutting
and heartleSs arraignment of mankind,
with faraway Venice conveniently and
safely chosen as the locale, comes down
to US through the genius of the Theater
Guild only slightly abridged.
Caricature is an effective, If cruel
instrument that was chosen more than
once In the days of Queen Elizabeth to
lay open and expose to public gaze some
OF the darker portions of the human
soul. Shakespeare made his Merchant
OF Venice a caricature of greed and
Ben JonSon, possibly taking a leaf
from the same book, set out to improve
upon his friend Shakespeake's Shylock
by making four ShylockS instead of one,
and setting them one upon the other
The world knows pretty well what one
Shylock was capable of doing. Multiply
that by four and you have a fair idea
OF the possibilities In Volpone. Greed
ana lust for gold may be the root of all
evil, but Ben Jonson was not content
with study Of the root. He made it
grow and cultivated the shoots, so that
in the end he had such offsprings as
Jealousy, Fear, Pretense and Lies to
exhibit.
Volpone (the fox, a merchant of
Venice, is childlesS and without an heir,
His friends, Voltore (the vulture), Ger
vino (the crow, and Corbaccio (the
raven), each hopes that eventually he

friend OF Volpone, the latter feigns NOR
tai Illness and the vulture, the crow and
the raven are set to bidding against each
other Tor his favor. In the case of each
OF them, inspired by greed, no sacrifice
Is too great If there is chance to profit.
ana the story Of their sacrifices and the
end that came Of them provides the
theme of the play.
A large cast represents the guild and
1t IS universally excellent. 0utstand-
ing are Earl Larimore, who rivals Doug
las Fairbanks in the acrobatic energy
that he gives to the hole of Mosca. the
gadfiy; Sydney Greenstreet, as Vol
pone, and Frederick Roland, Ernest
Cossart and Henry Travers as the ylIl-
ture, the crow and the raven, respec-
lively. Albert Van Decker, as a man
Of wrath, accomplishes one of the most
difficult Of tasks when he sustains with
out q let down throughout the evening
q passionate rage that knows no bounds.
The art Of makeup is shown at its
best in the appearance of the various

Mud puddles, which irresistibly invite
every boy to walk through them, will
never disclose the slightest substitution
for leather in an international Shoe from
the highest priced pair to the lowest. Re-
CARELESS of conditions, regardless ofwear,
they hold their shape.
Even rubber heels and soles are made
in International's own plant, which has
more than doubled the wear while lower
ing the cost of production. And to reduce
the cost of distribution, international
even makes the boxes which hold the
shoes and the cases in which they are
shipped.
By concentrating this production of
materials within one organization, Inter-
national not only insuresgreater quality
and wear in it's shoes, but produces that
quality at a saving of millions of dollars
a year compared with buying the
materials in the open market.
It has definitely lowered the cost of
producing quality footwear. You reap
the benefit in the form of greater shoe
value-lower prices for International
Shoes than for other shoes of like quality.
Such unusual value is the outstanding
characteristic of every international Shoe
whether it's to stand the expert abuse
of growing boy or the critical eye of
fashion.
Millions who are wearing these shoes
are convinced of these values. Each year
they buy the equivalent of two pairs of
international Shoes for every home in
the nation.

MAY ORDER navy
ACE TO SEA DUTY
Lieut.. Williams Status Now
Being Considered by AS
sistant Secretary ingalls,.

Lieut.. Afford J. Williams, famous
Navy pilot, who is said to have less
sea duty in proportion to his total
length of service than any officer in
the United States Navy, may be ordered
to routine flying service, probably with
the feet, in the near future. The ques-
ton of whether Lieut.. Williams shall
be continued on shore duty here and
permitted to continue work on his
Mercury racing plane now is bsing
considered by David S. ingalls,, Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy for aero
nautics, who will make the decision,
subject to approval of the Secretary
of the Navy.
Lieut.. williams own sea duty, it is
understood, is confined to his service
on training cruises while midshipman
at the United States Naval Academy,
which he entered in December, 1921.

sea service for Lieut.. williams, either
under his present rank or under the
heading total sea service" Lieut..
williams unique position in the naval
service has been the result Of his
unusual flying ability. Aeronautics
people class him as one of the worlds
best pilots. Not only is he a remark
able pilot, but he is student Of avia-
ton science.
His first naval duty after goinf
through flying school was as an ir
structor. He then became a voluntee
test pilot and was recognized in this
capacity as one of the best pilots the
country has developed.
The Navy Department, after the
United States abandoned international
racing competition with two Schneider
Cup victories to its credit, decided to
permit Lieut. Williams to continue In
this field and to develop q Schneider
race entry with private financial
backing.
Built Racing Ship.
He built racing plane for the 1927
Schneider races but the ship could not
be completed in time for the races.
The plane was redesigned and was taken
to Annapolis for tests preparatory to
entry in the 1929 Schneider races last
month in England.
The racer was taken back to the
naval aircraft factory, Philadelphia, and
now is being redesigned and overhauled
for further tests. The work has not
been completed and the Navy Depart
ment now is considering whether Lieut..
Williams should be given further ex-
emption from routine duty for this pur-
pose.

WHAT DOES boy care how much

cry. Life is fun and Dad pays all the bills.
You can't change him-and who wants
to! But when you find yourself saying,
''What! Another pair of shoesw don't
you sometimes wish they were made of
armor plate?
The International Shoe Company,
which has never grown up too much to
forget its own youth-and hopes it never
will-has learned lot about shoes from
shiny. And while it can't make shoes
that your boy won't wear out, it can and
does make shoes that stand up longer
under the punishment that only boy
can give them.
AS a result, millions of parents have
found the Observation-Disclosures
day rolling around less often. And they
have turned to International for fourth
of all the boys shoes worn in the entire
country.
