About years ago two young or at least not od men

The objection to this applause-whch is vrulent
first nights than later prevalent in New York than in
civilized ceners in Amercas that applause for the per-
of the player not for the character and therefore breaks
the effect of the play It could be stopped in 10 days if
would ask their producers to insert in the pro-
gram saying When Miss Whoosiz appears in Act One she
supposed represent the audience the character Smn
Sal of Bar Ranch character totally unknown the audi
and therefore not meriting requiring applause
Should the mpersonation give pleasure applause will be well
at the end of each and particularly the end of
the play
This is of mlenna idea You see actresses step
the stage and papitae with eagerness for their little
handclaps. But Eleanora Duse on The

Poor Duse she imagined that the duty of

One of the of my theatrical memories the night
which Mary Nash, star of play entered and left the

A MORATORIUM OF MERCY

lawyer with heart in him presents this
case which he says is a sample of many others:
widow who has been paying for home in
which also she has put many improvements
now with only seven hundred dollars owing on
it has had temporary bad luck that prevent her
keeping up payments.
And the mortgage e-holder, taking advan-
tage of the times and of her necessity, is deaf
to all appeals and insists on foreclosure. What
he sees is that if he can foreclose while the
widows hard luck holds he will not only get
what has been paid him on the debt, but he will
get the property at small cost.
Don't you think in view of this, asks the
lawyer with heart "that there should be a
moratorium on private debts until times get
better?"
If this widow had been left a mortgage,
the interest on which constituted her sole in
come, she would not favor a moratorium that
would stop the income by which she lived.
A general moratorium on all bebts and all
interest might be greater disaster than the
present situation.
But surely those who are tempted to take
advantage of the necessity of the poor by fore
closing mortgages when in decency and justice
they should help their debtors through to a
better tme-surely they might we'll adopt a
moratorium of mercy, and refrain from doing
to others what they would not want others to do
to them-Hemet(C (Calif) News.

ORAIBI THE OLDEST

According to our fellow townsman, DR..
Andrew E. Douglass, not Tucson, norSanta Fe,
even San Augustine, is 'the oldest city in
the United States" All that remain for these
rejected claimants is contest over second
place, for the honor of being oldest is now &C
corded by this scientist of renown to Arizona's
Oraibi.
By the scientific system of time determina-
ton for which he is famous on the counting of
tree rings, DR.. Douglass conclusively shows
that Oaribi was an established community as
early as 1880, or before the birth of Christopher
Columbus. On this information Tucson and
other American towns claiming leadership in
antiquity must yield the distinction.
In view of his startling discovery as to the
great age of Oraibi, DR.. Douglass is urging that
this highly interesting town be made national
monument and placed under the jurisdiction of
the National Parks Service, thus insuring its
permanent preservation. The proposal is a good
one and should be favorably considered at
ashington.-Tucson Daily Citizen

The prediction that major activity will occur this year for an Alaska Peninsula volcano, is made by Fr. Bernard R. Hubbard, Santa Clara University geology professor and scientist, who left Seward yesterday for Nenana.
 He said that a study of quakes the past year and their contin- ued recurrence, coupled with re- ports from Capt C- Fl Anderson, SS Starr, now in port from the Westward volcanic area, are the basis for his prediction.

SOVIET VIEWS FARM
PIECE WORK SYSTEM
Collective Movement Would Rule
That Only Those Peasants
Who Work May Eat.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, March 16.-The ALL Union
Congress of Sovits had before it to-
day resolution of Y. A. Yakovleff,
union commissar of agriculture, pro-
viding for introduction of piece work
systems in more than $4,000 collective
farms. The standard Of wages will be
fixed in either money or commodities
so that the man who works hard will
receive more than the man who does
not.
Hitherto opposition to piece work has
been one of the chief planks in the
platforms of workers organizations.
Yakovlef averred that the collective
farm movement already was a success,
and that the collectives had more than
1000, 900 peasant families as members.
He added that there were numerous
defects and unsolved problems.
The new system would emphasize the
dictum shat only those who work
may eat"
Meanwhile a crisis is looming in the
coal mipes. The council of peoples
comnlissarS has added TO a recent gen.
eral salary increase for miners certain
inducements of food, clothing and
other commodities which it is hoped
Will bring much needed workers back

It is announced that 10000 miners
quit work in the Don Basin during
january and February. A campaign
to fecruit 10000 miners thus far has
produced only 1000.

DEVICE FIXES SET
COURSE FOR ROCKET
Propelled by Liquid Fluid in Test,
It Lands at Spot Designated
by Inventor.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DESSAU, Germany, March 10
johanna Winkler, German rocket in
ventor, has startled projectile enthu-
siasts here with a new device which
permits a rocket to be controlled from
the take-of to the point of landing.
"Rocketeers" assert previous mechan-
isms of the sort have always flown wild,
and never before have been accurately
fired with a definite landing prear-
ranged.
Tests, which Winkler continues here
were made yesterday, demonstrating the
strange looking projectile, while is pro-
PEELED by liquid fuel
1t was also said that liquid fuel never
before had been used successfully in
a rocket. The eerie device has length
of % inches and diameter of 10
inches and is propelled by combina-
ton explosive having liquid oxygen and
gasoline as basic materials.
Winkler calculated a wide arc with
an extreme height of 5000 feet and $50
feet from starting point to landfall. In
yesterdays experiment he fixed the
points carefully and set of his minia-
ture messenger of the skies with cleo
trical impulses. The rocket zoomed for
half a minute in its prescribed arc, and
fell exactly on its charted course. 1t
was demolished, as the inventor had not
progressed far enough in his expert
meats to provide landing gear, and had
not planned a safe landing. This, he
presumably will tackle in later expert
ments, having demonstrated to his own
satisfaction that rocket with greater
propelling efficiency and more accurate
steering ability has been accomplished.
Too, he believes his liquid fuel will
ultimately mean greater capacity, longer
flight, and less impedimenta in the
form of solid discharge.
