OLD ToNYs PLAY

OID ION I put OlA iAio ol'SSS'N~AN and. clearing his throat, read ths tith from the manuscript: Exit a play in three acts, written fol Pierre Dor ovan by Antonio La terr." He added reverently "l have inscribed it to the memory oi Pierre's mother, Harriet Noel, great actress who endowed hei sen with her own artist soul"
 How splendid" cried Ann "An5 :s Pierre in the play?"
 ''Oh. yes; it is all about Pierre
 of course. And who else?"
 You, your father, Bruce, myself and a lot of other people
 Really? Am I in your play?"
 You are in the play because VOL are most important factGi in Pierres' life and character.
 1T don't think I understand, faltered Ann.
 why, you see, Ann, persons life and character are the same thing. A man lives what he is-he is what he lives. And character : tfat which a person really is-is the result of certain combinations of what I call fife forces. Low hate, ambition. avarice, idealism mt terialisnl, sehishness, generos- ity-all the elements which com bir.e in different proportions t form different characters are the clements or forces of which life is made"
 .Yes, of course" agreed Ann "and the different combinations oi these life forces make the differ ence in people"
 Exactly cried the old actor "There are as many different com binations of these life forces as there are different characters The forces are the same-the patterns they make are different, that is al And life and plays, my dear ale made of exactly the same stuff and so, Ann, I have made my play Exit, which wrote for cur Pi- erre out of the very same life forces which have entered into the making of Pierre himself Of course you understand that in my play I have combined these forces so that the pattern is different from what we hope the pattern of Pierres actual life experience will be. I have made the pattern oi my play, Exit as Pierre's expert. ences might be if he yielded tc Piuee and failed to be true te himself"
 Who else is in the play?"
 The old actor read from his manuscript:

 Martin, paying no attention to his daughters cry, continued ad- dressing Tony. You mark my word, the day will come when you will be mighty sorry for the way you've encouraged that fool boy of Harriet Noels in his crazy ideas about being an actor. Look at yuurselfl If the poor boys mother had good sense she'd never named you executor of her will and the guardian of her boy But Harriet Noel"
 When Martin spoke the name of Pierre's mother, Old Tony looked up from his manuscript with a quick indignant motion of his head. Then he rose to his feet and with theatrical gesture and voice cried, "Stopl"
 Martin, silenced by the old &C., tors voice and manner, stood star ing at him. Ann, too. was speech less.

pared with fifty-four per cent Of their classmates) were found to have won distinction in some form of or ganized student activity. Even the much-coveted Major was won by as large a percentage of the work ing students as of the others, though a somewhat larger proportion of those not self-supporting won other forms of athletic insignia. Twenty fuor per cent of the students who earned part of their own way achieved prominence in non-athletIc activities, as against thirty per cent of those who do not work for their expenses. Twenty-seven per cent Of
 the scholarship recipients and twenty per cent of all self-supporting students moreover won scholastic honors as against nine per cent of the rest of the class. Only in re- spect to the percentage who are members of fraternities do those more financially-fav students significantly exceed the ones who are earning their own way.
 One-third of the Yale undergrad uates are shown by these figures to be working their way through col lege. Many additional students are also registered for term-time or summer employment at the bureau of appointments, but in this survey only those of whose earnings the bureau had actual records during the past year. were included in the self supporting group. The care with which recipients of scholarship aid. from university and alumni funds, are selected, is shown both by the relatively small proportion of stu dents thus aided, and by the high calibre of their achievement.

 Responsibility

New Haven, May S.-Officially notified to-day of his appointment to the public utilities commission Colonel Edwyn l.. Taylor expressed his qualification over the appoint ment and declared that he intended to insure fair treatment by the pub lie utilities of Connecticut to the general public.
 ''I deeply appreciate" said Colonel Taylor, "the confidence in me shown by Governor Cross in naming me to the public utilities commission. shall assume office with a keen ap- preciatiOn, both of the opportunity for service and the responsibility which goes with 1t.
 "The public utilities commission affects quite vitally the welfare of the people. Created as it was to su- pervise public service companies. it acts as the regulating hand against unwarranted rates and assists in pro- viding the service to which the pub lie Is entitled.
 Fairness to both consumer and industry is essential. In such a light. the commission can be of that value which warrants its continuance as ar agency for the public welfare"

Y Pet Show Attracts
 a Large Gallery
Animal Chorus Led By Rango, Cynthia Kellogg's Pet
 Monk

Everybody was there. The kids had their night. Many a chest swelled with pride as blue ribbons and red were handed to proud own CTS. From racoons and tame foxes to snails and alley cats, every kind of . pet imaginable chimed in the animal chorus. Traffic stopped on the Green, trains at the station paused, and heads came out of the windows in an effort to decide what caused the jungle pandemonium. The paying of hounds mingled with the whining of a Shetland pony and the bah of a goat, as the Y. M. c. A. Pet show drew hundreds of old and young to the big Y. M. c. A. gym last evening.
 Among the tlnsual entries were a pair of red foxes, 2 months old, owned by. James Baker of Platts Mills. The display of love birds owned by the Woosters of Mill Plaln caused many an exclamation fo delight. The macaw, and the lively little monkey Rango owned by Cynthia Kellogg, were popular favorites of the kids. 7
 Marshall Steele with his racoon kept the hound dogs baying most of the evening. The monkey rango got out of his cage during the pr0- gram and spent a busy ten minutes exploring the Y. M. c. A. gymnas- ium with the entire crowd yelling and chasing in lively excitement. A pair of goblers were the entry of John Brophy. Alfred Greene has an eye for Roman history and named his two turtles Romu1us and Remus two snails Alexander the first and tyun cal a ders Julius Caesar and Caesar Au- gustus. and his four gold fish, Mathew, Mark, Luke and John.
 The youngsters thoroughly en- joyed the pedigreed dogs entered by the patrons and aptronesses of the show. F. S. Chase sent down his two Russian Wolf Hounds. Clough Kennels kindly sent in a Collie show, James Baker brought in an English setter and a pointer, Earl Hartley entered his English Bull, Charles Rodman entered his Great Dane; Mrs Sandford Bull sent down her Airdale pup; Irving Chase sent down his Irish Water Spaniel: Miss Margaret Kinnane entered her Dobermam pinscher.

Self Supporting
 Students At Yale
Survey of 2,342 Students Show Many Among Honor
 Men and Not "Grinds"

New York, May S.-Self-support- ing students at Yale who receive scholarships from the university and achieve higher marks than their classmates, are not mere fgrinds," but participate Tn student affairs al- most as successfully as do those who are not working their way through college. This was learned here to. night when John c. Diller, asso- ciate director of the bureau of ap. pointments at Yale, gave the results of a survey of the records of 2,342 students made by the Yale Alumni University Fund association by the department of pers0linel :, study al Yale. The announcement was made at the annual spring meeting of the class representatives. of the alumni fund, which this year is concentRat- ing it's efforts chiefly on raising funds for the assistance of self-sup- porting students at Yale, and is, therefore, interested in analyzing the personal and all-around qualifica- tions of students thus to be assisted. The dinner was held at the Univer- sity club. George Parmly Day, the treasurer of the university, and Dean Clarence w. Wendell, of Yale col- lege, were the other speakers. Lans- ing P. Reed, chairman of the asso- citation presided.
 The present sophomore, junior, and senior classes at Yale, MT Dill Ter said, were used in making the study, which consists of com mpari- son of extra-curricular activities of scholarship recipients all of whom are registered at the bureau of ap- pointments, and those who are not Forty-four per cent of the scholarship holders Gas conn
