At the top of Big Savage is short
and narrow road Gust back of the
wayside stand) that leads to st. Johns
Rock, from which a good view may
be had. Walk down the hill from the
rock little way and you can see the
road on which George Washington
travelled when he first went west to
fight the French and on which Brad
dock later travelled. 1t is almost OBJ
liberated now.
All through Western Maryland the
highway constantly crosses this trail
and in many instances is identical
with it. For instance, between Allie
gany Grove and Clarysville. At
Clarysville the old trail goes off thru
the woods and comes out again in the
neighborhood of Frostburg. A group
of boys with whom we talked on top
of Big Savage told us they had walked
up from Frostburg by way of the old
trail.

Great Passions

All the passions in the play
are grander than. our own. We
have reduced the situation Gf
Electra to a flip remark, shat
"the Mater has a new ooy
friend" and imagine we have
become sophisticated. So much
the worse for sophistication.
The satisfaction of grown-up
human beings is not only in
knowing facts, but in experience
ing powerful emotions, in re-
jecting illusion and refusing to
escape from the consequences
of action. O'Neill, with a era
matte sense which is so power
fu:. that it often overreacnes
itself, continually compels his
audience to turn sharp corners
and confront life. And most
of us know that in spite of all
our complaining about hard
times, we are confronting only
a series Of inconvenience,
few difficulties.

symbols in the theater. :.
may in some degree bring
home to members of a mod
ern audience their ennobling
identity with the tragic figures
Of the stage. OF course, this
is very much of a dream, and
the Greek dream in tragedy is
the noblest ever" So wrote
Eugene O'Neill long ago, and
today Mourning Becomes Elec-
tra," his play which follows
the Greek dream closely, is
magnificently played and warm
ly received at the Guild Theater.
I do not know whether it's
audiences are all ennobled; it
would be neither O'Neill's fault
nor the audiences if they were
not; because nobility has been
so infrequent in our theater
that we should be pardoned
for simply not knowing how
to undergo it's ministrations.
Yet something strange does oc-
cur. Not only the critics, but
private individuals have testi-
fled to the unusual power of
this play, a true staying pow
er" because it persists long
after the play is done.
The one thing which is not
surprising is that in a time
of financial depression and
personal worry, this play of
many murders, should be we'll
patronized. In the first place
it has nothing to do with our
everyday preoccupations; far
more than trivial comedy of
artificial smart people, it re-
moves us from the dreary level
of living, toward something ap-
preaching reality. 1t has to do,
primarily, with noble suffer
ing. The central character,
Electra, in the ancient plays,
suffers an almost selfless pain
at the thought that her mother
is unfaithful to her father.
Mr.. O'Neill may play his mod
ern psychology all over this
figure, but it resists corrup-
ton; we may be ordered to
think that Electra is simultane-
ously in love with her father
and with her mothers lover,
but her integrity and her pride
move us none the less,
The Washington times., 1931-12-09

such a play occurs once in 10
years.
Defeatism
have forgotten the name Of
the great banker who told q
Senate committee recently that
no man can plan" for the
United States. 1t does not
matter; there will be hundreds
of others, and the fact that
they are probably right doesn't
matter, either. No single man
can plan for the United States
Army or for General Electric
or for the Federal Reserve.
And, almost any single man
can point out the obvious
that the lack of plan has never
been a recommendation for
generals, statesmen, or indus
trial giants. A good general,
in fact, plans his own defeat,
so that, if it comes, he is not
destroyed. That ' Of plan,
at least, we might have in re-
serve.
Gov. Philip La Toilette was
not answering the problem Of
planning when he sert his
message to the Wisconsin legiS-.
lature, but he answered the
defeatism which seems. from
time to time, to overwhelm our
best minds. "They will tell
you," he wrote to the legisla-
tors, that the Government,
cannot put 100000 men to
work, although they forget that
they put 100000 American
young men to work at the busi-
ness of war; that they Squan-
dered $4,000, 100000 of Ameri-
can money in the most waSteful
and futile war Of modern his
tory" No wonder Governor
La Toilette expects to be called
"Bolshevist." It is a trade
name for those who utter un-
palatable truths. But why
should it also be a trade name
for those who assume that the
American Government is as
powerful in peace as it is in
war?

And Mother Machree

Perhaps the intellectuals will
take a tip from one of their
leaders, Aldous Huxley, who
has already declared in favor
of domesticity. And the moral
lists may consider the now
rapidly disappearing depression
as a vindication. The Amer
ican home, as soon as it has
saved American finance, will be
enshrined forever, with Eddie
Guest as poet-laureate, and Ye
Olde Home Brew as the ma
tional drink. 1t is a pleasant
prospect.

is so mercileSs (and so Superbly
done) that even in its last ac5S,
where it escapes from the dis
cipline of the Greek tragedians
and runs wild in modernistic
psychology, it persuades aud
moves us. It moves us also be-
cause a dramatist has done
something on the grand scale;
not as in Strange Interlude,"
because the play is long, but be-
cause it is terribly compressed
and into each Of its tragic brief
scenes a tremendous amount Of
life has been poured. Such a
play is not only what the
Theater Guild is for, it is

salvation of the country depends on build
ing homes. Individual homes in the suburbs
are good, and model tenements in the city
are good All building, in fact, is good.
1t is that famous "ladder" for which we
were all looking last summer. And by
coincidence which is perfectly natural, the
ladder is found leaning up against a house.
The program will be blow to the
sophisticated few who no longer believe
in the sanctity of the home, but that does

LACK OF SUPPORT.

NEW YORK, October 6 (SpeciaD -
The stock market today entered the
fourteenth week of decline, the longest
period of reaction without sustained
rally that it has had since the break
began in october, 1929 Average prices
we're off more than SO points from
those at the end of June. The percent
age of decline has now reached the
highest figure for any of the major
breaks during the depression
This is cherries picture, but 1t
has some compensation in that it re-
fleets a volume of liquidation, both
from domestic and foreign. holders of
securities, that has rid the market of
a majority of the distressed situations
and brought prices to a level where
people are buying stocks on the basis
that they have, as whole, gone as
much below their real value as they
went above it in 1929. The absence of
concentrated support in any one of
the main groups of stocks is an un-
favorable influence still. 1t suggests
to the small holder that the big in
terests," which awe him less than ever
before, but still influence his Judgment,
are not ready to buy on a substantial
scale. The better sentiment in the bond
market in the last few days has been
helpful in giving encouragement to
holders of common stocks.

BRITISH SHIPBUILDING
INDUSTRY HAS DECLINED
By the Associated Press.

by tne associated Press
The last II months have been trou-
blesome for the shipbuilding industry
OF Great Britain and Ireland
Reports to the Commerce Department
indicate that not only has Shipbuilding
fallen off to an alarming extent, but
difficulties have arisen over shipyard
wages and the price of steel furnished
by British steel manufacturers. One
promising feature Of the year has been
the activities of the National Ship
builders Security, which has been buy
ing up obsolete shipyards for the pur-
pose of dismantling them, thus reduc-
ing the potential capacity of British
shipbuilding and tending toward ma
tionalization of the industry.
Tonnage under construction on June
80 last amounted to 555 603 gross tons,
a reduction of 834,460 tons, or 60 per
cent, from the year before. Launching
during the June quarter likewise showed
a sharp decline when compared with
the corresponding quarter of 1880, drop
ping by more than SO per cent. The
greatest decline, however, took place
in the figures for tonnage begun, which
amounted to 100000 gross tons in the
quarter ended June go 1880, and only
$4,000 tons in the same quarter of the
current year, reduction of 80 per cent.

BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Controller of the Curreny John w.
Pole issued g. call today asking for the
condition of all Washington banks and
all the national banks in the country,
as of September %.
Reports from as many banks as could
be reached before time OF going to press
indicate that aggregate deposits IN
Washington banks on September ~
were larger than on the call OF June 30.
The majority of local banks report a
decrease in deposits since the last call
at the end of the Governments fiScal
year. but a notable gain made by Riggs
National. as we'll as some smaller ad-
yances reported by other banks will on
set the lower figures announced by
other banks and hold the total above

Gains Reported.
Riggs National reported gain since
last June of $3,071 1880, deposits
reaching $60,658277. In the cases OF
the decreases in deposits noted by other
banks. most of them are OF small pro-
portions. several banks almost equalling
their June figures.

instead of the 29th, many OF the banks
which reported lower deposits would

ing to the banks to put in money or
checks.
Late in September considerable money
was also withdrawn from local banks
for the payment of real estate and per-
Sonal taxes thus drawing down the sum
total of funds on hand. Several bank
officials said today that the deposits
last night were higher than they were
on the date of the June call and much
higher than on September 90.
1t was also reported today that saw
tngs deposits in the local banks are
still going ahead rapidly. Depositors
are manifesting amazing thrift in their
efforts to place money on savings ac-
counts. The savings deposits are not

"Extravagant Advertising"

He declared that he thought bankers
might profitably follow these examples,
Tor above all they are interested in
stable, wholesome business. He recon-
mended that major part of their ad-
vertising and financial advice during
the period that lies ahead should be
devoted primarily, not to getting new
customers but to the incubation of
sound personal financial habits.
He remarked that many of our people
are now ''economiZing eXtravagantly'
and that millions who are able to con-
tinue normal program of prudent buy
ing are "curtailing their expenditures
beyond reason" The resumption of nor
NAL spending on the part of those who
are able to do so would be an impor-
tant tonic toward the stimulation of
trade, he declared.
Observing that basic source of the
events of period is the spirit of the
times, Mr.. Stephenson said he would
beSpeak for the future a greater spirit
of humility in success and tolerance in
adversely. He said that during the
period of our prosperity there had been
too much boastful pride in achievement,
grasping for power, conceit over success
that often enough was brought by
nothing more substantial than an infla-
ton of false values rather than the Gre
alton of true qualities"
On the other hand he said, during
these days of adversely too little has
the spirit of the times been ruled by
the neighborly quality of helpful toler-
ance, and impatient blame has placed
the cause of our troubles in the deeds
of others rather than of ourselves, add
ing to the difficulties of dealing with
present-day problems.
And so 1 say, study as We will good
business methods, scientific economic
principles or sound governmental poll
cies, let us study, too, the part our
natures play in the course of events,
Mr.. Stephenson said. When We enter
| another period of prosperity-aS we
surely will-let us both as individuals
and as a Nation do so with humble
| spirit-and let us keep it humble, no
matter what success attends our eff
forts. And while the present period
of adversely still fingers let us approach
our task of rehabilitation with that
spirit of tolerant confidence in the
good intentions of one another that
can alone bind a people together in
common cause"

New School Building Needed

Nogales is badly in need Of either high
school or a new grade school building
Each month the present school buildings become
more and more crowded They are too crowded now
and if the present rate Of increase in attendance
keeps up, and there is every indication it WILL the
children will be crowded into the present buildings
like sardnes in can when the new fall and winter
term opens in September
The present high school building is beeing used
both as high school and grade school. It has 22
rooms. Eleven used for high school purposes and
the other eleven for grade Students Several of the
classrOoms are down in the basement Easements, as
rule, are not for that purpose.
There are two school buildings the west side
of the citythe high school and the Elm street school,
There isn't sufficient ground to add to the Elm street
school and it is said it is out of the question to add
another floor to the high school
It seems that the only solution to the matter is
to erect brand new high school at the southwest
corner of Arroyo Boulevard and Quarry street.-the
northeast corner Of the athletic field.
Opening of the fall and winter term is
y eight months away The school trustees should take
immediate action toward remedying the present con-
gested condition in the schools No taxpayer should
ever object needed. At least new buiding-high
really needed At least one new buding-high
school grade-is badly needed in Nogales.

K. Cumming, one Of the heaviest property owners Of
this city is willing to do his part toward making it
possible for prospective home owners to easily ac-
quire building sites.
Mr.. Cumming authorizes the Nogales Interna-
tonal to announce that persons desiring home build
ing sites purchase lots from him at any price and
any terms.
"Any responsible party who does not have lot
Oh which they can borrow money with which to build
home, can come to my office, get lot monthly
payment plan, and III transfer deed to them i'm
mediately They will not have to wait to pay off the
lot before getting the deed, said Mr.. Cumming.
He also said that lots can be purchased from him
at cheaper price than from anybody else and at terms
to satisfy the buyer.
Any person having building site can put up
home duplex in this city and pay for it just
like paying rent. For Details we refer you to either
Mr. Cumming or W. N Pickett. Why pay rent when
you can own home?
