performance of a new play being

the theatre of a vivid personality.
He typified the new type of actor
who helped lift the stage from a
vagabondage. Well born, a Har-
ward graduate, he played the piano
and violin, and painted an accept
able landscape. He was one who
made his art a business and never
trifled with it. He gave his all to
a part and demanded as much of
associates. The adlibber who short
weighted his audience never re-
peated when the Perkins tongue
had lashed out at him. Only once,
at a Brock Pemberton tea, did 1
ever see him out of stage role.
He was one who refused to be typ
ed. After setting new high as
a portrayer of the hard-boiled
comedy parts, he held out for
months until he was cast different
ly. One of the most sought-after
actors, he thought each part would
be his last. And the only feature
of his dramatic death he would
have felt badly about was incon-
veniencing the management. To
him the business of dying would
have meant just another exit
Still another sudden passing that
seemed to stun New York was that

lily celebration of any kind around
your home it is of interest to your
neighbors, but the editor of the pa
per cannot tell them about it un-
less you first tell him. He can't
hire high-priced reporters to con-
tact you, as do the big city papers.
But he does meet you on the street
occasionally, he does open his mail
as fast as it arrives and he is always
willing and anxious to answer his
telephone calls. So bear these
things in mind. Always remember
that a lot of things that happen
at your house are Of interest to
your neighbors but that, since the
editor is not a mind-reader, the
neighbors must go without such in
formation unless you are thought
full enough to see that the editor is
informed. .

THIS MAY SPREAD
Commissioners

Commissioners of st. Joseph
county Indiana have recently tried
a novel seunt and one that could
be used around Kennewick to good
advantage. They have given every
road in the county name with
signs at each intersection bearing
the names of the highway inter-
sected. Then they have numbered
each farm house along each road,
painting the number on the farm
er's front gate, above his front
door or on his mail box. Now when
one sets out to find a farm house in
that country all he needs to know
Is What road it is on and the house
number. No more asking for di-
rections and getting information
about like this: "Go down the road
about three miles, turn right at the
second road, not counting the dirt
liant just beyond the foundation of
the old school house, then go about
half a mile, turn left, pass a farm
with a windmill" etc. The new
system promises to do away with all
that, and since it can be worked
out in one county just as well as In
another, there is hope that, event.
ually, it may become general all
over the United States.

BACK-sEAT DRIVING

6ACh-SEAI DRIVING s.. 3D.. ~
If you are among those Kenne.
wick citizens who contend that mer
drive autos better than women and
that the back-seat driver is a NUS
ance that ought to be eradicated
here is food for thought.
"Next time the Missus leans over
the back seat and says: John, don't
go so fast,,' or Charlie, you almost
hit that truck don't let it get you"
says DR.. Harry DeSilva of the Har-
ward University Traffic School.
"Back-seat driving is really help
and not hindrance," asserts this
saftey expert. He cites as proof the
fact that there are more accidents
among cars which do not have back
seat drivers than in cars that do, his
figures being based on tests made
among 10000 cars in Is different
parts of the United States. He also
asserts that while the survey re-
veals that women may not be as
good drivers as men, they have few
er accidents because while women
drivers have some bad Characters
tics they are on the whole, more
careful than men when operating
car.
The experts decision may not be
generally accepted by the male
drivers Of this community, but 1t
Will certainly give the female driv-
ers cause for doing a little Growing.
The question as to whether or not
women drive as well as men in all
probability will never be settled. But
the Harvard safety expert has set
lied it so far as the women are con-
,erned whether he was trying to do
20 or not.
