Broadway

NEW YORK, March dwight
Wiman, having given due con-
sideration to the cut-rate ticket
brokers and the letters which
have come pouring into his Of
flee, has decided to bring back
''Thc Distaff Side" for brief
return engagement on Broadway.
The play, which has been tour
ing for four weeks, will reopen
at the Ethel Barrymore Theater
next Tuesday.
Mr.. Wiman said yesterday that
he is influenced by the number
of letters he has received asking
for d return Of the play and also
influenced by the ticket brokers
who report many daily requests
for the John van Druten play.
The producer feels that the re-
turn engagement is at least worth
a trial, although it necessarily
will be limited to two or three
weeks.
Mr.. Wiman and Dame Sybil
Thorndike were agreed that the
play would run no longer than
the middle of March when Dame
Sybil came here from London,
last fall. She has son stationed
in China, in the British navy,

tant news could not possibly
escape your attention, but I
hasten to inform you of the COM
plete manner in which Columbia
scored at the annual meeting of
the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Science.
Claudette Colbert and Clark
Gable in their performance of
"It Happened One Night" were
voted as having given the best
screen performance in 1884.
The production "It Happened
One Night" was chosen the best
motion picture of the year.
Our director, Frank Capra,
was given the best direction

same picture.
Our Robert Riskin was held
to have made the best screen

story.
Other awards which Column

Night of Love-" Grace Moore
in her performance in Zone

The ALSO Rams

The Also Rams"
Douglas Fairbanks, too, appears
to be unaware that the procession
passed him by few years ago
and even front page scandal can't
interest those who pay the dimes
and quarters that spell success.
This is one Of the reasons why
the smart Hollywood stars fight
for big money. Their reign is
short and their position insecure.
The lucky ones. and those as
Sured the longest screen life, are
actors like Adolphe Menjou and
Ed Arnold, who recognize they
have passed the Romeo class and
|. evolve naturally into the charac.
Ter group. They accept the decree
of Father Time.
It was Division Administrator
Sol Rosenblatt of NRA who sur
veyed Hollywood and said that the
happieSt and most secure actors
in the industry are those like
Lewis Stone and Zazu Pitts. They
are not great stars and are not
obliged to carry pictures on the
marquee, but they mean as much
to any feature in which they ap-
pear as the better paid stars.

Hay Contains Vitamin D;
Sun Content Increases

One of the reasons why hay is a
valuable feed for live stock is because
II contains & 'o!ly Quantity of vi.
tamin D-the anti:achitir constituent
Vitamin D is produced in the hay by
the ultra violet rays of sunlight. We
all like to snake hay while the sur
Shines" and even If we have not al
ways been able to appreciate all Of
the reasons for this conclusion, the
bright sunlight. nevertheless, improves
the quality of hay, in that it tends t.
increase its content Of vitamin D.
This conclusion was brought out anc
demonstrated by the Michigan agricu
tural experiment station some years
ago, when they were studying the ma
ture and cause Of ricketts, in calves
a disease of the bones. The expert
mentors fed four lots Of calves a hasa
ration which contained practically M
vitamin d, and those whose ration was
not supplemented with this vitamir
developed ricketts,; that D. which makes
it possible for the animal to assim
late the minerals II contains. Without
vitamin D, the assimilation of min
erals cannot take place. no matter how
much mineral matter may be present
in the feed the animal receives.-Wal

Soy Beans Make
Marketable Hay
Early Cutting, Curing Well
Important, According
to a Specialist.

Supplied by the United states Department
Of Agriculture.-wNU Service.
Cutting soy beans at any time from
the forming of the seeds In the pods
until they are about three-fourths de-
veloped, and proper curing, are essen
tial in the production of high quail
ity. marketable hay crop, according to
W. 81. Hosterman. hay specialist in
the department. who is in close touch
with hay markets and producers In
the Middle West.
In Ohio the experiment station recon.
mends that soy bean hay should be
cured by September 10. to avoid heavy
dews and fall rains as well as shorter
curing days. Under normal seeding
conditions soy bean hay is harvested
not later than early September.
If grain binder is used, cleaner
hay Is assured. as less rubbish from
the preceding crop is picked up and
less soil accumulates on the hay.
Farmers have found that hay tied
loosely in small bundles and put into
small shocks cures better and loses
few or no leaves. Soy bean hay cut
with mower and cured in the swath
and windrow loses many leaves, col
lects dirt, and often contains trash
from the preceding crop.
Seeding Of soy beans for hay so they
may be harvested with grain binders
is becoming more popular in Iowa
and Ohio. For best results with the
binder the beans are seeded in lands
not more than Az feet wide. These
lands are usually about foot apart,
leaving enough room for the binders
divide board so clean swath may be
cut. If the beans have been sown at
the end Of the field. they are usually
cut with a mower. Otherwise they
are likely to clog the binder.
Because of the severe drouth which
destroyed large acreages Of timothy
clover. and other grass and legume
crops in 1884, soy beans have gained
popularity as an emergency hay crop
both for home use and on the market
In Iowa. farmers have been using
so to 70 per cent of the soy bean crop
for hay. OF 1,2oO.OO0 acres planted
in Illinois last year. 100000 acres were
harvested for hay.

Health Department Issues Report
For The Month Of August, 1885
Preparing Safe Water Supply At Sugarland School
Medical Examination Of Children Stressed-Infantile
Paralysis Scare Has Subsided

| About half of the families of the
community depend on the well neal
the church for their sole water sup
ply. This well has large supply Of
water, but a very defective wooder
platform and no pump. On account Of
the large diameter of the well, over
five feet, and the remote location, the
installation of concrete platform is
impracticable and the Health Depart
ment is therefore installing large
tongue and groove wooden platform
The Education Department and local
residents are cooperating.
Two other cases occurred in a color
ed community near Jamestown call
ed the Little Pines. Some of the fam
lilies Of this community are related to
Sugarland families and it is likely
that infection was brought to the
community by typhoid carrier from
Sugarland. Most of the residents of
Little Pines and of a nearby Dairy
farm have been given typhoid inocu-
lations.
School Examinations-The Health
Committee Of the County Medical So
ciety met with the Health Officer and
Superintendent Of Education on
August 20 and drew up a plan for
medical examination of school chill
dren during the coming year. This
plan was recommended by the County
medical society at its last meeting
and depends upon the services of
practicing physicians to work in the
schools with health department
nurses. Examinations will include the
first year of high school, the first
grade or kindergarten of the large
schools and the few children of the
upper elementary grades selected by
the teachers. In the smaller element
airy schools all children will be ex-
amined every third year.
Infantile Paralysis - The public
alarm over, infantile paralysis has
subsidized. Five cases were reported to
the Department in the last part of
July and the first part of August, but
one of these was later found to be
not this disease. A suspected abortive
case without paralysis was reported
on August % in the lower part of the
County.
Numerous requests have been re-
ceived for the names and addresses
of these cases, but the County Health
Department, following the policy of
the State Department of Health and
of the District of Columbia Health
Department, is not issuing this in
formation.

II beg to sumbit to you the follow
ing report of the Health Department
for the month of August 1885.
Typhoid at Sugarland-The Health
Department is proceeding to rebuild
a well platform in Sugarland in order
to provide one safe supply of water
for the school, the church and the
community. Sugarland is small scat
tered colored community of about
twelve families in the Poolesville area
and has suffered from typhoid fever
almost every year for over ten years.
The cases have been severe with fire.
quent fatality.
Last year the Health Department
sanitation project installed sanitary
privies in all the homes of Sugarland
and it was believed that this improve
ment might have been responsible for
the absence of any cases last year.
Two cases have occurred this year in
o white family which moved into
Sugarland early in the year. The first
case probably acquired infection from
an unprotected spring which in turn
was very likely infected accidentally
by some typhoid carrier who dipped
water out of it.

Drinking Glasses-The Police De-

ers of restaurants and soda fountains.
"A Suggestion
Glasses in soda fountains and res
taurants which are not thoroughly
washed may carry disease. A quick
rinse after use is not enough to re-
move or kill dangerous bacteria. In
these days people are quick to notice
which places keep their glasses clean.
If your place is arranged to that
washing has to be done at counter,
it is better to use paper cups in place
of glasses. Dipping glasses into
tank at.the counter between drinks is
not satisfactory. A glass should not
be used again without thorough
washing and rinsing in clear water.
Scalding is better still.
Get your glasses so clean that you
would not mind customer looking
through an empty glass toward the
light. Keep the rinse water clean
enough to pass the same test.

requested to inspect, and enforce the
