Little Theates

True. there will be community
theaterS. little theaters. playhouses
This writer was closely connected
with one.
Such theaters are good for the
soul. good for the city.
They cannot. however. serve as
the real thing.
The theater Is a difficult art.
Only one who has entered its por-
tails can realize how difficult, how
exacting.
And II will become a truer art. a
still more difficult art.
For America is entering its golden
age OF plays.
The sweep Is unmiStabable. The
theater is preparing to take its part
definitely In American life.
What kind Of play will dominate?
What will develop as truly Ameri-
can. as bespeaking the national
voice?
We make brave to answer That
play which has an economic, social
background.
We do not speak of a propaganda
play. nor even one with a single APP
peal based on those subjects.
We speak OF a play as a play. an
expression OF contemporary life. of
contemporary lives. Of struggles and
hate and loves. Of hopes and aspira-
tons. or defeats and doomS. Of VIC
tories and triumphs.
A play. TO be a good play. IS a
conflict Of emotions. a contest OF
the basic elements OF life.

Hysteria May Banish
Sensation of Pain
BY Dr. MOKkrS FlsHBEIN
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association
and of Hygeia. the Health Magazine

" hy@SA& ~
This is the second Of two articles by DR.. Fishbein
on the mental and physical aspects OF pain.
There are times when you don't notice a pain un-
til long after the cause is gone. Psychologists attri-
butte this to some form Of hysteria or to changes
brought about by strong emotions.
A football player is unconscious Of bruises or other
injuries until after the game. Soldiers in q charge
during a battle may be unaware that they have been
hit until they see blood flowing from the wound.
Likewise, people do not perceive pain during periods
Of exhaustion or ecstasy developed by religious evan
gelism: neither do so-caled mediums seem to ex-
perience pain when they throw themselves into a
trance.
The most conspicuous examples OF inability TO per-
ceive pain are seen among idiots. imbecles. and the
insane. Similar conditions occur also among persons
who have recovered from ~lammatio Of the brain
Doctors occasionally sec instances OF malignering
or voluntary production OF injuries to the skin and
the body in which apparently the persons concerned
do not experience pain. These, however. may be ex-
amples OF a mental disorder.
Thus. it Is known that less pain Is felt in one part
of the body when the attention is directed elsewhere
One form of quackery rests on the pinching Of the
toes to take the mind away from a painful toothache
There are persons whose anxiety and fear are SO
great. when going into a dentists office, that they
feel less pain the closer they approach the place in
which they are to receive the dental ministrations.
The sense Of pleasure you feel when a pain disap-
pears is difficult to describe.
There is the story Of the man who was pounding
his head against the wall. When asked why he was
doing this, he responded by saying that he felt SO
well when he stopped.
There are also forms of mental and sexual perver-
sion in which pain is actually enioyed. In such
cases. however. the pain itself is seldom intense and
the emotional outburst associated with the pain is ex-
~ceedingly pleasurable.

The World
At Glance
By LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. l2.-The Fed
eral Relief Administration soon
will have facts and figures ready
on how much Of the relief burden
each state can carry. That investi-
CATION has been in charge of Lent
D. Upham. who reports to Harry
Hopkins. federal relief administra-
tor. who reports TO President
Roosevelt.
/ Actually. 10 million Americans
are on direct and work relief now.
OF those. four million are classi-
lied as "unemployables' - unable
to work.
Approximately seven million of
the remaining Is million already
are on work relief. Thus work re-
lief must be provided for the re-
naming eight million.
OF the IA million OH relief rolls.
more than 100000 are children
under is.
States Percentage
During the first nine months of
1884 the federal governments share
OF relief was 65.6 per cent; local
governments, 2o.3 per cent: States.
l4.4 per cent.
For 1888 the figures were: Fed
eral gofernment, COS per cent: To-
eral government, COS per cent; To-
states. 25.2 per cent.
one can see how the states have
shifted the burden to the federal
government.
Cost
The average monthly cost for a
family on work relief is S29.5O-on
direct relief. s24.50.
Transferring a family TO work
relief adds approximately 20 per
cent to the cost.
But the family transferred to
work relief is supposed to be Great

Trial Worries
Many ADLER minds among the le-
gal fraternity profess alarm over
the emotionalism exuding from the
Hauptmann kldnap-murder trial
at Pennington. N. J.
They say, whether Hauptmann
be guilty or innocent. we may be
ashamed OF ourselves in years to
come.

DUSEK LOSES
To D MAHONEY
On NAT

Danno O'Mahoney is quite a
wrestler at that. At least he
showed such form last night at
the auditorium when he took only
16 minutes to throw the ever pow
erful Rudy Dusek as 5000 fans
nodded their heads in approval.
Danno's famous Irish whip hold
floored Dusek. 1t came after
Dusek had put Danno in a mild
rage following several necklocks
and cracks to the side Of the ear.
Grabbing Rudy'S right wrist,
Danno gathered his opponent into
his huge arms and swung him
around until he was dizzy, I'M
loosened a couple of jui-jitsu
maneuvers and presto, Dusek was
on the canvas loser.
The appearance was O'Ma-
honey's second at the auditorium
in two months. Before his show
ing was anything but impressive,
probably because he fought the
slow-moving Fred Grobmier. But
last nights exhibition satisfied
the fans in every way.
The prelims were very good. Pat
Mckay was disqualified after II
minutes of struggling with Sander
SZabo because of too frequent use
of the strangle hold which he

HUNDRED
To COMPETE
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

By GEORGE A. SIMPSON
An epidemic is spreading at the
District Building but the health
authorities aren't alarmed.
It's a golf epidemic, developed
as the result of the District en-
ployes' spring tournament at the
Indian Spring Country Club, April
1928.
The disease is catching and
every department of the District
Building has been affected. So
feveriSh are some prospective
entrants that many challenges
have echoed through the CORR
doris, disturbing important confer
ence meetings.
At any rate, some hundred par
Elephants, including District Com
missioner George E. Allen and
other ranking District officials,
will fetch their golf buds and
utensils and parade over the
Indian Spring terrain the two
days of the tournaments. Many
might stray from the straight
path, which golfers call the fair
way, but a recovery shot will put
them in good graces again. And
few might miss that straight
path so often they'll require
blood transfusions to Alright them.
Rolling Easter Eggs?
Come to think of it, April o.,
the opening day of the tourna-
ment, is Easter Monday and some
one was overheard to remark:
"WOnder if they'll be out
there playing golf or rolling
Easter eggs? Some would do
better to take along Easter bas-
ketS than nibIicks."
One Of the entrants, Dick Ten.
nySon, supervisor of boys play
ground activities, has gone into
training. Not to win the tourney,
but to make sure he won't retain
his BOBBY championship. He
pulled up in the ruck of the fail
tournament last year, trailing the
next to last man 20 lengths. It
might be added that Tennyson
is the local sports writer's golf
champion, winning the Cleland
Cup competition last year when
every other starter broke his leg
or was left at the post.
Hoover Defends Title
John Hoover was the winner
Of first low gross last year with
81 and intends to repeat. Capt.
Howard F. Clark, Assistant Engi.
neer Commissioner, accounted for
first low net with $50, Ct. Bill
Wilding, 93-24, So, assistant Dis
trict auditor, and Frank Xanten,
$50, SO, tied for second low
net, Wilding winning second on
the flip Of a coin.
Competition will be 18 holes
medal play, with handicaps based
on past performances. Each en-.
trant has an option of playing
his round on either of the two
tourney days and entrants can
make up their own foursomes.
There is an entry fee of ST and
valuable prizes await the winners.

FEAR PARALYSIS
FOR HOWELL

LYNCHBURG. Va, April II.
Willard "Dixie" Howell, Detroit
Tigers recruit, lay in a hospital
bed here today, his baseball fu-
ture uncertain, after his right
cheek was Dashed in by a drive
from the bat of Johnny Mize,
Cincinnati Reds first baseman,
during practice yesterday.
DR.. J. w. Devine, staff surgeon

career hung in the balance if his
cerebral artery were injured by
the impact Of the line drive.
Paralyzation might result, DR.. De-

hemorrhage.
Howell, it was said, will remain
in the hospital for a week at
least.
