ALABAMA ONCE
 BOTTOM OF SEA
Additional Proof of SOuth= ern States Being Thus-
 ly Situated.

Birmingham, Ala.-(UP) Ala bama was at the bottom of an im- mense sea hundreds of thousands of years ago.
 Countless small fossils known sa Thamnograptus poori, found dur ing the process of opening a new road from Calera to Montevallo. have furnished this additional proof.
 According to un article written by Dr R. s. Poor, for whom the fossils were named, and appearing in Rocks and Minerals, it Is evil dent that large masses of these Small animals. collected on the surface of an ancient sea over the present state of Alabama. They gathered together in. much the same manner that the plants and animals that float on the surface of the Sargasso sea collect.
 Dr Poor states that the mode of living of these small creatures was such that 1t is astounding to find so many perfect specimens in the rocks. Their remains consist of fiattened stems, called rhabdo- somes, and small saw-toothlike projections, known as hydrothecae, which served as the home of the small organisms. Many rhabdo- somes were attached to small bal Ioon-like objects which fioated upon the stiff surface of the wn- ter. When detached from this unique buoy they fell to the bot. tom of the sea, the present Alss- hama terrain, ard were covered by mud.
 Resultant decay of the softer parts and pressure caused much of the original material to be lost; the fossil remains consist pA the insoluble section of the original organism.

CASTING OF PLAY
 GOODBYE AGAIN
Play Calls for a Variety of Types That Will
 Surely Amase

When the curtain rises on Goodbye Again" April F, Water burians will have their first chance to see Alan Wallace, director of the Waterbury Civic theater, tread the boards as an actor himself. MT Wallace has directed num- Der of successful presentations here, but this will be the first time here that he has been on the stage as character in Civic Theater production.
 MT Wallace will play the part of Kenneth Bixby, the featuring novelist about whose changes of affection the play centers. The role offers a chance for a re- markedly delft and sharp delinea- ton of a quick-tongued, quick witted young sopnisticate. The part was played in New York by Osgood Perkins.
 Anne Rogers, the authors sec- retary, will be played by Mrs John Brodie of Watertown. Played with great success in New York by Sally Bates, Anne is an effi- cient, businesslike, but thoroughly human and modern young woman.
 Harvey Wilson, whose wife's in- fatuation for Kenneth brings much of the plays comedy, will be en- acted by Dr Edwin c. Pyle. Mrs Dorothea Douglas Fusonie of Wa tertown will play Julia Wilson, Harvey's wife. Harvey is thor oughly placid husband who re- fuses to become upset, while Julia is an ultra-imaginative wife who is conscious of two selves".
 Mrs William Wirt Young will appear as Elizabeth, Julia's sister. J. Freeman Coffey, whose charac- terization in "The Ghost Train" earlier in the season was highly praised, will be Arthur Westlake, her fiance.
 Each one of the roles offers an excellent opportunity for g. portrait of a clear and distinct character. The figures in the comedy have been drawn so clearly by the auth ors, George Haight and H. c. Pot ter, that they come to life on the stage. Thoroughly human people, they make Goodbye Again" a rare theatrical treat.

Providing 8, colorful and fitting atmosphere for the closing days of 1 the Lenten season, The Catholic Actors Guild of the he~Immaculate Conception church gave an out tstanding performance of "The Dark Hours last evening at the Strand theater. The production was pro- claimed by members of the large audience to be the finest passion play were portrayed upon the stage in this city. Praise reigned high for the efforts and superb results ob- tained by the director of the play, Alan Wallace, of the Waterbury Civic Theatre, Inc. A great DOT ton of the success of the produc- tion might easily be attributed to the splendid lighting effects which brought out intricate atm ospheres, prevalent throughout the play. The scenery was well arranged and formed a harmonious background for the colorful costumes worn by the players, all of whom united to produce smooth, clever produc- tion which is being acclaimed throughout the city.
 Mob Scenes Realistic
 During the entire play, the real. istic mob scenes were predomin- ant. Each character in the scenes seemed to feel that he had an fm- portant task toeaccomplish in mak- ing the scene success and their efforts were certainly merited by the reaction which the mob scenes had upon the spectators. Touches of spirit, displaying treachery: ven- geance and at times apparent vio- fence added greatly to the tense- ness which was created by the theme, of the play. Much of the credit for these scenes may be giv- en to Gregory Lynch and Miss Kathleen. Fitzgerald who, assisted| in directing the players. /
 Judas We'll Portrayed
 In the role of Judas, Carmir.e e Cipriano portrayed the traitor Who suffered the torments of his con science, in manner which won expressions of commendation From the audience. John Whalen, 'typi- cal in type and portraying the char acter to the best of his ability, gave a splendid word picture of the cruel priest who led the group of conspirators demanding the cru- cifixion of Jesus.
 The principal roles throughout the play were spoken in g. finished manner with the leading members of the cast showing tho way for the assisting company of about sixty members. Raymgnd Bates, taking the part of ADlas, father in-law of Caiaphas, showed gen. erous amount of drNnatic ability which he used to Advantage in some of the important scenes of the production.
 Female Characters
 The female personages taking leading roles in the play were. well portrayed and added 9 touch oI beauty and drama where it was most needed. Miss Alice McGee treated the audience to q well spo- ken script with appropriate action emphasis in her impersonation of Mary Magdalene. The role of the Blessed Virgin was accomplished in a fitting and understanding way when Miss Josephine Sullivan brought forth the real passion or the play when her son was dying upon the cross. Miss Mary Robin son uphefd the theme of the play in her portrayal of the wife of Pontius Pilate. The latter part was one of the highlights of the, per formance with John Gilmartin

 The coordination shown by the large cast was prip cipally responsi- ble for the success. of the play and the production will be we'll remem bered by all who witnessed the splendid dramat1zation of the Don Marquis play.

STEEL PRODUCTION
CONTINUES TOR|SE
Consumption Begins to
Level OFF, but Mills Hit
Still Faster Pace.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, May 14.-Steel pros
ducers' confidence In a continuation
Of strong operating position through
the remainder of this quarter and
June was reflected in the magazine
Steel.
with a smaller volume of specifi-
cations from automobile manufac-
turers and sharp decline in tin plate
output" the publications weekly re-
view said: steel consumption last
week began to level of, though steel
works operations still were buoyed by
heavy tonnages on mill books for
shipment before July / and advanced
2 points to 81 per cent.
THE divergent trends were no more
in evidence than in the Pittsburgh
district, where steelmakers in their
efforts to get out material booked for
this quarter, increased their average
rate points to 81 per cent, and sheet
mill operations rose 5 points to 90
per cent, while tin plate mills dropped
from 80 per cent to TO-" the weekly
review said.
PRODUCTION OF automobiles con-
tinues to taper off. Total output by
the industry has fallen from a month
ly rate of 10000 cars in the last
week Of April to $4,000 in the past
week. To a large extent the present
slowing Of steel releases is attributed
to the effects Of recent strikes at auto
body plants.
These developments have not
shaken steel producers confidence in
continuation of a strong operating
position through the remainder Of
this quarter and June. Based on
specifications already in hand, ship
ment by some of the leading steel in
terests in the first half of this year
will equal their entire tonnage for
the first half of 1888.
Threat of a strike in the steel in
duStry is causing some uneasiness
among producers and consumers,
though apparently it has not driven
in orders.
"Steels iron and steel composite
holds at S34.77 and the finished steel
index S54SO."
