{ Is first of all a delight to the eye. It
= is sort of H. G. Wells architectural
. dream come true. It's brightly tinted
. walls are decorated with the nearest
, thing to animated murals that modern
. ornamenters have yet devised. The
indirect lighting gives pleasant and
effective accent to the impression of
movement created by the terse, telling
lines. All very charming it is, but that
is by no means the whole of it.
Roland Robbins, manager, and his
associates in the enterprise have
looked well to the comfort of their
patrons. The seats are soft and spa
cious and set with generous area be-
tween the rows. There will be no oc-
casion to stumble over dozen earlier
customers not merely because of the
spacing of the seats, but also because
of the distinctive method of lighting.
The unique method of projection
used by TransluX, whereby the projec-
tion units are located behind the
screen, permits the use of generous
lighting throughout the house. The
same amount of light in the average
theater would blur to indistinctiveness
the images on the screen.
Informality marked the unofficial
opening ceremonies. Arthur Reilly,
as master Of ceremonies, introduced
Mr.. Robbins, who welcomed the
houses first audience and then sur
rendered the floor to Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen. The chairman Of
the Board of Commissioners spoke
briefly of the new house as a distinct
addition to the city's entertainment
facilities and voiced words of welcome
to its sponsors and management.
Percy N Ferber, Translux board
chairman, and L. G.. Fisher, president
of the corporation, responded and
the show was on.
Local news dominated the first page,

paper unfolded for the first time Pic
torial tales were told of the training
of the Washington base ball team, of
the need for slum clearance in Wash
ington. Neither particularly high in
news value, they were nevertheless
samples Of the style in which the
story of Washington will be told.
War, sports, fashions and the other
manifold aspects of mans enormously

pages. 1t was great deal of news

Young Supporter
OF Garner Starts

DALLAS, Tex. GU.P0-A friendly
wave to a pretty little Dallas girl
in. 1893 has resulted in that young
lady becoming such a strong sup
porter of Vice President John N
Garner that she is forming a
NGarner forl- President" CLUB
among Dallas children.
. The staunch young supporter of
Garner is Martha Gene White. g.
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Dan White. of Dallas. 1t was while
Garner was riding along a Dallas
street lwith Postmaster Genera
James A. Farley that Martha Gene
waved at him. The car had halted
mementarily and Garner returned
her greeting, smilingly asking her
to write to him.
Although only a at the time
Martha Gene could write and she
took the Vice President at his
word. In her letter she told him he
'looked loke Santa Claus" Garner
replied on his official stationery
and began a correspondence that
has continued until today.

forming the club when she reaC

ing a candidate in 1910. Advised

Resettement Administrator Milo Per-

He referred to D. F. Comey and L.
Wade Coberly, who were moved from
the sl,O00060 resettlement community
after 90 members called strike last
week, charging inefficiency and waste
of funds.
In a letter to the strike leaders,
Perkins said the strike does not in
volve any controversy over hours or
wages or union discrimination or
working conditions, but rather is a
protest against the administrative
policies of a branch Of the Federal
Government
The beard of directors of Tygart

are fashioned in the soft, warm sand.
No lining is provided. Usually three
eggs are laid. The mothers are appar-
emily contented to live alone with
their thoughts, for the nests are not
close together. The mate is always
near, and when his lady joins him for
their meals he seems greatly pleased
to be with her. The eggs are rather
long and have faint gloss. The
ground color is pale olive buff rather
spartngly marked with dark brown
and gray blotches.
Father oyster catcher is willing to
take his turn upon the eggs, as his
English relative is known to do. For
81 to "a days is the length of time
the parents must wait until the spin
dle-legged babies break through their
shell prison They can run so fast
from the moment their downy wet
feathers dry that it is almost impos-
sible to catch them. But one word
from their mother will be obeyed in
stantIy, and when the youngster squats
beside some bit of growth he is lost to
your sight, perhaps forever. Both
parents are watching closely over them
and when the danger is past word
to the babies that all is we'll is received
with a joyous response from them
They are so much like the bits of weeds
or driftWood about them that it takes
keen sight indeed to make them out,
Only their bright eyes betray them.
The younger oyster catchers are
dressed in a grizzled coat which is
thickly tipped with soft pink color;
the crown is pale buff. the throat
and hind neck buff colored. The un-
der parts are white. The younger
members have hooks on the tips of
their mandibles. There are changes
Of color pattern and feathers which
soon replace the natal down, and by
Winter the children resemble their
parents.
The catcher Of oysters has habit
Of standing on the wet sand ready to
drive its long, sharp bill deep in order
to pull forth the succulent oyster. 1t
watches for an opportunity to catch
the oyster with his gates yawning wide.
The sharp bill is inserted, bringing out
the saurming live tidbit. The sea ur-
ct1ins, shrimps, small crabs and fd-
dlers, are chased and caught, too. So
when you hear the sharp cry OF erik,
erik. erik" the oyster catcher is not
far away.

Farm, Program

Here are some of the proposals for
q long-range farm policy discussed at the
recent conference of farm leaders IN
Washington. They deserve general study.
Farmers interests and the general well
fare are closely linked. Farm income
must be big enough to enable the farmer
to buy industrial products - machinery,
furniture, clothing, radio, car, and so on
and must, therefore, be on basis OF
reasonable equality with other income"
That calls for "fair and stable farm
prices"
The supply Of farm products should
always be large enough to meet fully the
needs of domestic consumption, in lean
years as in good ones, with something left
over for profitable foreign trade. That is
the purpose of Secretary Wallace's "ever-
normal granary'' and proposed crop in
surance It also implies foreign policy
which will encourage the peaceful expan-
sion of foreign markets.
An effective farm program is unthink-
able without conservation of natural
resources, especially the sail, and retire
ment of submarginal land from cultiva-
ton to uses for which it is better fitted.
A higher general standard of living is
needed, with greater security for farm
tenants and owner operators
ALI of this, the farmers say, depends on
intelligent industrial policies which, with
the farm program, will encourage abund-
ance for both industrial workers and
farmers. The principles laid down seem
sound. Working out equally sound and
practical measures for making them eff
fective is more difficult, but surely not
beyond the compass of American ability.

Popular Selection

The election OF Provost Charles Sey-
mour as President of Yale University to
succeed DR.. James Rowland Angel Is a
popular one. It will and has been uni
versally acclaimed by Yale men. Even
outside the university and alumni circles
his selection has met with the same quick
response of approval. It might be classed
as the choice of the consensus. Pro-
lessor Seymour will assume his new office
in May, when DR.. Angel must resign,
having reached the mandatory retire
n1ent age of SO.
AS Robert M. Hutchins, brilliant head
of Chicago University and Yale man
himself put it, 1T is a pleasure to see
prophet honored in his own country"
Yale has decided to return to its former
custom Of honoring an alumnus, Certainly
the university heads could not have struck
q more popular chord than they did, for
not only. Is Professor Seymour widely
known In the university annals, but he is
widely honored In educational circles.
1t will be veritable homecoming for
him when he becomes president. Not

only has he been q member Of the faculty
for IS years, but his father before him
likewise served in that capacity for the
same length of time. A native Of New
Haven he was literally born and brought
up within the confines Of Yale. Two OF
his. family before him served the univer-
sity in the same capacity in which he will
shortly be placed. And more than that
he can trace connection with Yale back
to 1902 when a forebear received an
honorary degree. We trust his years as
president will be memorable ones.
