Not long ago when he gave an audi

King Alfonso knows all about the

When his majesty visited the Spanish

LONDON (N.A.NA.).-Terence Gray
a theater enthusiast and pioneer, who
runs the Festival Theater, at Cambridge
is shortly to start operations in London
in new theater now being constructed
on the site of the premises of the Ole
National Sporting Club, which promises
to be the most modern playhouse ir
the metropolis.
The theater, which has been designed
by Mr.. Felix Goldsmith, will be the first
in London to be equipped with cir
cular stage and permanent cyclorama
The settings will be directed not at q
few seats in the middle, but diagonally
at the two wings of the auditorium, sc
that the audience will be the third and
fourth walls, rather than the fourth
as in an ordinary theater. The stage
itself will be circular and constructed
in Is sections which can be raised IN
dependently by hydraulic machinery.
The theater also will have a restau-
rant to seat $50 people. 80 that there
shall be no excuse for being late for the
play" as Mr.. Gray remarked.

Theater a meeting place for intelligent
playgoers," he said; thence the big
foyer. The stage calls for new pro-
ducing technique, but our experiment:
at Cambridge have proved that 1t car

away from the make-believe OF the stage

'I hope to produce proportion OIL

eighteenth century works, but also
want to do ultra-modern continental
plays-if the censor will allow me. The
plays will first be produced at Cam

PARIS, July 10 N.ANA.-When-
ever the French poet comes floating
down from Parnassus he may now md
a pied-a-terre on the slopes Of Mont
martre, thanks to the generosity OF M.
Emile Belmont, who left almost the
whole of his fortune for a maison de Ia
poesie.
This refuge for poets is not an entire
"house," but the second floor only OF an
interesting building in the Rue Ballu,
already the headquarters of the Society
of Authors and Dramatic Writers.
1t would not appear to be the sort
of home that provides foster-mothers
for fetching home the cratic nature
loving poets who, like La Fontaine, per-
haps stay out all night in order to at
tend an ants funeral Nor will 1t i'm

wild poets to whom any four walls q

Rather, it is sort Of poets trade
union. Members may wander, float,
dream and write with the knowledge
that they have an organization behind
them to protect their rights, their royal
ties and the like.

EXHIBIT AT L|EGE
Modernistic Architecture Is
Evident on All Sides at
Worlds Fair.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LIEGE, Belgium, July 19.-Modern-
istic architecture, with straight lines
and broad, sweeping curves affording
striking contrasts, marks the World
Fair here.
The exposition is part of Belgium
celebration of q century Of independ-
ence, and tourists from all parts Of the
world are visiting it. 1t was opened in
May by King Albert and will continue
through the Summer.
The Liege exhibit Is supplemented by
an exposition at Antwerp devoted to the
colonial and maritime activities of Bel
GUM. Science, industry, agriculture
illustrated here.
Some of the contributing nations
erected their own buildings, but most of
them have taken part in joint displays
with other countries in the large halls
devoted to electricity, mechanics, radio,
medical sciences and similar subjects
This system has grouped the various
branches so that persons interested in
them may see the whole subject without
visiting a number of buildings.
One OF the striking architectural
achievements OF the exposition is the
Palace of Electricity. 1t emphasizes
the perpendicular with suggestion of
the conventional zig-zag Of lightning in
the terraced outline of its entrance
facade. It Is brilliantly illuminated at
night and houses the latest electrical
achievements of 40 countries.
In contrast are the Palace OF Me-
chanics, Metallurgy and Mines and the
Italian government building. The Cir
Gle is the chief motif of the former,
while the latter Is characterized by a
towering circular bay at its entrance
that reminds irreverent Yankee visitors
Of the gas houses of American cities.
The Palace Of Arms, containing mod
ern weapons exhibited by two-score
governments, and bungalow-like struc-
ture erected to house the display sent
by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg,
are also built on moderniStic lines. The
city of Paris, on the contrary, put up a
domed building suggestive Of the French
renaissance In which to show the ar
tistic, scientific and political history OF
the French capital.

GARDEN NOTES

Asparagus beetles are now working
havoc in certain gardens, especially on
young plants set out this Spring. Dust
ing with hydrated lime in the early
morning, while the plants are wet with
dew, will often control the soft, imna-
ture worms, but for the adults it is nee
esSary to use a poisonous dust or spray.
Asparagus foliage is very smooth, and 1t
will be necessary to add little -four to
the arsenate of lead or Paris green
liquid to make 1t stick.
Sweet corn Is growing rapidly since
the rainfall has been more liberal and
will shortly be maturing in the early
paintings. Sweet corn is a luxury
that has been enjoyed but relatively few
years by white peoples. The plant is
believed to have been developed in
Mexico from native grass and to have
been grown for centuries by the ma
tives of North and South America.
However, the development of sweet va
rieties is considered to be relatively re-
cent. In fact, many Of the older
gardeners can easily remember when
there were no yellow varieties OF sweet
corn, which now represent perfection In
this vegetable. Sweet corn needs full
sunlight and freedom from competition
with tree roots. The soil should be well
fertilized to support the rapid luxuriant
growth that is made in very short
period. Moisture is also a factor in
corn growing and is provided for by
planting in hills to lessen root compe-
tition and by tilling the soil shallowly
up to the time plants are at least half
grown. Removing the small side shoots
or suckers is not necessary and is even
harmful. Good yellow varieties are
Golden Bantam, Golden Sunshine and
Whipple yellow. Good white varieties
are Country Gentleman and Stowell
Evergreen.
A few years ago sweet corn had no
insect troubles, but now has several, in
GLIDING the corn ear worm, which works
such havoc in the ripening ears. I'm
fortunately, there is no real remedy for
this pest, although busting the young
silks with arsenate OF lead and hydrated
lime dust is often helpful.
Tomatoes are growing rapidly now,
and the wise gardener will arrange for
some kind of support for the plants
to keep the fruits of Of the soil. A wire
trellis is very effective and does not
require the removal Of as much foliage
as does stake training The crop will
be cut down in direct proportion to the
pruning. Pollination of tomato blooms
is a problem for the greenhouse grower
but not so in the garden, where the
wind and insects do very thorough
task.
Celery plants for the Fall crop should
now be set in the garden. If planted
in furrow, watering will be easier and
so will blanching later on. Celery needs
abundant water and food to make
strong growth. and spraying with
Bordeaux mixture If leaf spots develop.

BEAN BEETLE

According to Dr. E. N. Cory of the
University Of Maryland in report pre-
sented to the Peninsula Horticultural
Society, the addition of copper sulphate
to either spray or dusts used for bean
beetle control reduced the amount of
foliage injury from the arsenical. A
dust made up of 20 per cent copper
sulphate, 20 per cent calcium arsenate
and so per cent hydrated lime gave good
results. Pyrethrum sprays are advocated
for any treatments given after the pods
have formed, thus avoiding any danger
