INSANITY PROBABLE PLEA
 IN DEFENSE OF MEAKLE
Violin1st, If He Recoyers From Ser fous Injuries, to Face Murder
 Charge in Girls Death.

Paterson. N. J., July 8 UP) - Insanity may be the defense plea of Roderic Meakle, 28 year old con- cert yiolinist, who will be charged with the murder of Miss Jennie Brauer, 22, his sweetheart, in the event he recovers from self f-inficted wounds.
 Indication that the plea probably would be made was given last night shortly after the wealthy parents of the young musician retained attor- neys for his defense. Prosecutor J. Vincent Barnitt completed an inves- tigation of Meakle's suicide pact with the young German girl last night.
 Meanwhile however. it was con- sidered doubtful whether Meakle would recover sufficiently to be tried for her murder. He has been un- conscious since he staggered into the arms of police early Sunday, ap- proximately 30 hours after he had tried unsuccessfully to carry out the suicide pact.

REALISM FROWNED
 UPON BY FRENCH
Food and Rain Not Considered Necessary on Stage

Paris, July Pl-Eating real food and using wet rainstorms on the stage make the Frenchman think American audiences lack imagination. The French prefer what Americans consider artificiality and play acting"
 Frances finest theater, the Pigalle, callel by experts the best equipped playhouse in the world, is almost ready to give up the ghost because, some critics think, it tried to give too much American realism and forgot the plays the thing"
 Gaston Baty, one of the four lead CTS of theatrical modernism, resign cd from management of the Pigalle recently. revealing that his policy of real sand and loud thunderstorms had failed
 Meanwhile, giving emphasis to the difference in the American and the French theater. an address at th| Sorbonne by Carol M. Sax, the Balti- more producer, explained somewhat the Pigalles failure, not then gen erally known, by describing the psy- chology of French audiences.
 Gave Play Cycle
 Sax, who established an American theater here, giving a series of six plays for ten days or two weeks each, realized his company must change it's American methods slight ly to satisfy his audiences, which were 60 per cent French but learned the gap couldn't be entirely bridged
 "A typical American theater- goer," said Sax. "prefers naturalis- tic play but even when he goes tc see modern drama he wishes tC believe in the reality of what he sees. He wants it to be convincing and he would like to forget he is ir a theater watching actors perform.
 Not so with the French. To them the theater IS the theater. They love truly artistic theatricality. Tc the French scenery is scenery and they make not the slightest demand that they be deceived into thinking 1T is anything else. And above al acting is acting and they glory in il as such"
 In discussing the differences 1T technique, Commoedia, the principa theatrical paper, remarks of the American players in The Barker that 'in order to make the audience believe the tent was pitched out. doors, they had to cover the stage with real sod and in order to be convinced it was raining the au. dience had to see and hear the rair as we'll as see the actors come il drenched from the shower"
 The implication was that French actors could make an audience be lieve it was caining merely by tell ing them so, because French au diences had sufficient imagination.

 Arriving at the airport in a taxi cab, Miss Brinkerhoff arranged to make a brief flight. Orr, pilot for & flying school, began warming up the motor of the ship, and Miss Brinkerhoff laughingly remarked that she was getting nervous.
 The plane roared down the run way and was soon high above the airport. Before the take-of, Miss Brankerhoff had been strapped in the cockpit.
 Steps Out On Wing
 When the ship reached a high al- titude. she stepped out on the wing Orr, who holds a limited commercial pilots license, said. She screamed twice that she wanted to land.
 The pilot grabbed her and pulled her back into the cockpit. While he was regaining control of tha plane. the young woman again climbed out on the wing and plunged to earth, he said.

Only 200 years ago innocent persons were deprived of their lives for practicing witchcraft. We LOOK back upon such practice as relic of barbarism. And l believe that iu a much shorter time than that the death penalty of today will be considered barbarlsm more dis graceful to our age than the bar barism Of the middle ages, because of it's very anachronism.
 To me this is a social problem Of vast importance. Despite the fact that it is a problem upon which each state in this country has the right 10 decide, it is undoubtedly a national problem. At one time it was a favorite subject for theoreti- cal discussion by the sociologist. Today, however, it is gradually en- tcrins into the social consciousness of the people and the day will come, when an enlightened social 1 consciousness will abolish this in sidious and anachronistic form or punishment.

COMMUNICATED
OBJECTS TO DEATH PENALTY

Editor of the Herald:
 read recently that a man was exc cuted in Nevada for having commit ted homicide. The State executed this murderer by means of gas claimed to be a delight to the ol- factory sense, and the prisoner died with a smile upon his face. Science seems to be contributing to make the death penalty mere humane.
 Death, however. regardless of the method of administering it. re- mains and will always be rather a poignant matter; SO much so, in fact, that many before me have taken pen in hand and have at- tempted to denounce societal mur- dcrs with little uncertainty and with language hardly equivocal or cuphemlstic. These literary out bursts have occurred so frequently in recent days and the whole prob lem has been considered so thor oughly and argued so conNlnc. inely. that it would seem useless tc bring up the matter again. How ever. I feel that a matter of thiS importance cannot be given enough thought nor publicity.
 It seems rather anomalous anc irCOngruous 10 me that while mod ern science is discovering and per fcctng new therapies for disease! that were al one time fatal, a the same time a supposedly civilizec society should be using new meth eds tperhaps more humane if ( quick death be compared to th' tcrturcs practiced in the middl' ares) Of deprlvins a person of hi life. I say "supposedly civilized so ciety" for civilization IS relatlv'
