u. S. Senator
In Fasan's
Drama

When THE Improper Duchess" )"
satirical comedy by j. B. Pagan,
has its metropolitan premiere in
this country at the Shubert Be-
lasco Theater, under the auspices
of the Professional Players of
Washington, with Irene Bordoni,
during the week of october 5,
there will be a reunion of two
artists vitality connected with the
production.
For the first time in 10 years,
Walter Connolly, who plays the
role of a United States Senator,
and Maurice Browne, producer of
the forthcoming play, will be
professionally associated.
1t was back in the spring of
1921 that Mr.. Connolly and Mr..
Browne worked together for the
first and the last time until the
present occasion. Mr.. Browne,
who had received abundant
critical praise, but little financial
success at that point in his ca.
reer, was given the opportunity
to direct a production of "Ipl1i-
genia at Aulis," with Margaret
Anglin in the title role. The
New York Symphony Orchestra
also contributed to this produc-
ton which took place at the Man.
haitian Opera House. Mr.. Con-
molly, then a comparatively un-
known actor, played a small part
under Mr.. Brownies direction.
Since then, Mr.. Connolly has
won for himself an enviable place
on the American stage, and Mr..
Browne has become an interna-
tional power in the theater.

Way to Get At a Cold
Is Through the Bo1UeLs

AS soon as you catch cold, the
pores close; perspiration is
checked. Gases and waste can't
escape through the skin. That's
why your doctors first advice in
case of colds is mid laxative like
cascara. Medical authorities agree
it actually strengthens botUel
muscles. You get cascara in its
most pleasant form in candy Cas-
caretS.
Remember this when you catch
cold; whenever breath is bad;
tongue coated; or you're head
achy, bilious, conStipated.
Why resort to harsher things
when Cascarets activate the bow.

wonder what would happen if business men took
to wearing smocks and long hair. They are entitled
to them, because business has become art, but
because industry and today as distract
ing as painting and composing have ever been. The
defense of the artist has always been that his mind is
much taken up with matters of vital Importance,
such as change in color values that he really
couldn't be bothered Others might be good hus-
bands and providers; but art was too stern mistress
Also the artist felt that he different from other
men, and that putting it mildly, because he usually
felt himself superor his clothes and his erratic con-
duct were the only symbols of this difference.
Shifting Values
Art isn't exactly booming these days Il have small
list of artists of the first rank who in desperate
need of commissions and will gladly supply names
and addresses request) but business the grand
scale is infinitely wearing on the nerves. The
clay and the stone with which the sculptor works
still clay and stone they respond exactly they al
ways have to modelling and cutting; the keys in which
music is written have not succumbed to radical changes
and pigments maintain their value. But the material
with which the business works changes from day
to day. His pound sterling is worth less, his dollar
more; his markets disappear under his eyes; Sunday
morning becomes a terror to him because great de-
cisions released to the newspapers that day,
to give twenty-four hours of meditation before their
effect the stock market be felt And Monday
to Friday are not so good, either.

SCIENTISTS PREPARE FOR
GREAT RESEARCH WORK

the crocodile's rareful treatment
will be continued in quarters es-
pecia,ly prepared for him here,
where he may enjoy artificial CHI
matte conditions IS nearly as pos
sible equal to his native tropical
streams.
From his blood the disease will
be transmitted TO various animals
and the effect of various drugs and
serums noted. This research work
will be in charge of DR.. Alfred c.
Reed, head of the institute of trop-
ical diseases.
Ravages of African sleeping
sickness, DR.. Reed said today,
have virtually depopuIated
belt across Africa from Is de
gress south to Is degrees north,
an area comparable to that of
continental United States. Prac-
tically all of the natives have
died and white men and do
mestic beasts cannot live there.
The toll of this disease is vir-
tually incalculable, Dr.. Reed said
Although virtually under control
so far as spreading over a greater
area until recently, financial string
ency in England, Belgium and
France has halted control work
and the disease again is spreading.
Using as a basis the several drugs
already found fairly efficient, all
of the organic arsenic compounds,
DR.. Reed and his assistants will
endeayor to discover a more eff
cient remedy.
No danger exists in transporting
the crocodile across the continent,
according to DR.. Reed. who eX-
planned that the disease is not ef-
fective in temperate climate and is
spread only by the tetse fly. which
does not exist here.
A large collection Of tetse flies,
their larvae and also a large num-
ber of eggs of the mosquito which
transmits African malaria were
sent to the institute by DR.. Tor
rance. All of these are dead, and
present no danger of spreading
disease. according TO DR.. Reed.
They will be used for museum and
study purposes.

Power Project To
Cost Is Millions

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. u. up
The expenditure of $13,500,000 will
soon add approximately s40,0oo,00O
of taxable wealth to Arizona's tax
rolls through development of the
Verde River Irrigation & Power
project, which will place $4,000 acres
of rich desert land under irriga-
ton.
A combination of deep we'll pumps
and dams will supply the water and
the water, in turn, will create hy-
dro-electric energy which will be
used in operating pumps and dis
tributing the water.
Cost of the development, for
which bonds have been issued, is
estimated at S13,500,000.
Fifty thousand acres of the tract
have been tested and found suit

Chevrolet Plans
Big Campaign To
Develop Volume

A national demonstration cam
paign. with a goal of one million
demonstrations during the month,
has been mapped out for September
by the Chevrolet Motor company.
The campaign is in line with
Chevrolet'S previously expressed
opinion that the potential buying
capacity of the country is unim-
paired and requires only intensive
sales effort to develop a satisfactory
volume. according to E. w. Fuhr.
Pacific regional manager Of tbs
Chevrolet Motor company.
The past four months for which
registration figures ale complete
show that Chevrolet skies have led
the domestic passenger car mar
ket. he said.
During the month of September,
every one of the $4,000 Chevrolet
dealers. sales managers and sales
men will be required to fill an as
signed quota of demonstrations. ap-
praisals and sales.
The campaign is unique in that
the objective is directly aimed at
demonstrations. and that
special recognition will be given
statesmen who fill their demonStra-
ton quota.
During the month the campaign
will be strongly supported by dealer
window displays. campaign buttons
StickerS, special adver-
tising literature and helpful guild
ance from the factory.
Time and experience have
proven that sales are made directly
in proportion to the number of con-
demonstrations and this
fact was never more true than in
the case of the 1881 Chevrolet car.
The smooth six-cylinder power Of
this car. together with its beauty Of
line and wide range of selections
makes it unquestionably the great
American value Of the year" Mr..
Fuhr said.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. -. up
Within the prosaic walls of q
San Francisco laboratory. a group
of University of California scien-
fists today prepared to do battle
with what is perhaps the greatest
scourge OF nature in modern times
African sleeping sickness.
Upon their work and the re-
action of animals to their in
incubation, may depend the
fate of hundreds OF thousands
of human beings, and the use
fulness to mankind of an area
as great as the United States.
Swimming peacefully in q warmed
tank in the New York Aquarium
is the key to all their labors, a baby
crocodile from Central Africa
which bears in its blood stream the
virus of sleeping sickness.
The crocodile will be shipped soon
to the institute of tropical diseases
at the university here. which is a
division Of the Cooper Foundation
for Medical Research of the uni
yersity.
Reared Carefully
Reared as carefully as an heir
to millions, the crocodile was
hatched under the eyes of DR..
Arthur Torrance, explorer and sci
enlist. When it was but an infant,
DR.. Torrance ;nnoculated the rep
tile with African sleeping sickness
germs and with another similarly
treated, brought them with him to
New York. as the only method by
which living carriers Of the disease
could be transplanted from the
tropics.
One Of the crocodiles died, but
the remaining one appears to be
in good physical condition, and will
be carefully prepared for shipment
10 the laboratory here. Dr. Tor
rance preceded the specimen TO
California and is now in Los An
geles. He spends all of his time in
exploration and scientific work. his
expenses paid by universities and
research foundations.
Upon arrival in San Francisco,
