Mitchell then turned to a de-
scription of their discussions of
a settlement:
The count told me he
wanted q large sum of money
and the child. He got more cold
and furious, and said he would
go back to London and take the
child"
The count, Mitchell said, men
toned a 100000 separation set
tlement.
Barbara had $250,00 in mind as
a separation settlement.
THE count" said Mitchell,
replied it's laughable and an
insult"
The courtroom roared when
Mitchell dryly observed:
"At that, commented, I wish
somebody would insult me like
that"
Referring to the meeting with
the count and countess in their
London home in June, when the
question Of q divorce was dis
cuSSed. Birkett asked whether it
was correct Barbara offered to pay
the count a large sum Of money
for q divorce.

phatically protested. ''The
countess said voluntarily that
she wanted to let bygones be
bygones, and she would make
the gesture of settling a large
sum Of money on the count for
life"
did the countess give an
undertaking to the count to have
the warrant withdrawn so he
could return to England?"
Birkett inquired.
81 was given to understand
that the countess would have
withdrawn the warrant If any
such request had come from the
count" Mitchell answered.
Sum For Son
Birkett suggested that during
the divorce interview, Barbara
promised she would settle a sum
on her husband and on her son,
too.
Throughout the questioning,
Mitchell insisted he had done his
best to have the marriage con-
tinue and had pleaded with both
parties to be reasonable"
Under Birkett's cross-examina.
tion, Mitchell referred to letter
which the count apparently had
taken from his wife. Identity of
the person who wrote the letter
was not disclosed.
There was nothing in It at

thought it was an infamous
thing for him to have taken his
wife's letter. I advised him to

Mr.. Porter has studied music

he prefers the Oriental. When
asked how he compoSes those
topical and tuneful songs, he re-
piled: First I think of a good
catch line. After having found
one I build my song around it..
The completed song evolves
around the catch line. Finally,
when I have finished all this in
my head, find a piano and try

been thinking of the famous

Cole Porter'S new musical,
"You Never Know" starring
Clifton Webb. Lupe Velez and
Libby Holman, and featuring
Tobey Wing. will be seen at the
National Theater on March 81,
previous to its New York show
ing.
This is Mr.. Porter's first show
in two years. He has just re-
turned from Hollywood where
he completed the scores OF sew
eral motion pictures, the most
recent being "RoSalie."
Mr.. Porter, who is our fore
most composer of the current
.theater, has had q varied and
interesting career. Mr.. Porter
was born on a farm in Peru, In
diana As years ago, and IS
not English, as so many people
believe him to be. After fin
ishing high school he decided to
study at Yale. During his col
lege career the composing urge
steadily came upon him. He
composed two or three songs
which were used in college
shows.
He also wrote a football song
''Bingo" which is still used to-
day. After completing college he
went to the Yale Law School for
a year.
The composing urge was be-
coming stronger and he decided
to heed the call Of the theater.
He came to New York and wrote
his first show which was en-
titled "See America First" 1t
opened ip. 1915 and ran for 10
nights. Mr.. Porter, dismayed
over the failure Of his first pro
duction, decided to join the
French Foreign Legion during
the World War.
While returning from Europe
he met Raymond Hitchcock on
board ship. They became friends
and Mr.. Porter wrote the next
Hitchcock show which was the
successful "Hitchy Koo." Soor
after that Mr.. Porter composed
scores for the Greenwich Vii

HELEN HAYES RECORD
When Helen Hayes played to
more than $4,000 in DeS
Moines, Omaha and Kansas City
last week, Bill Fields got excited,
Immediately wired all points
East that it set an all-time
high record for a straight
dramatic show.
Not exactly correct, John
Peter Toohey, Sam Harris blow
torch, opines. 1t was in war
times, folks were bursting with
patriotic fervor, and the Govern
ment was in the midst of high
pressure campaign to put a
Liberty bond in every strong
box. The stage, as usual, CO.
operated. A company went out
through the country to play a
few weeks for the cause in Out
There"
In the "Out There" company
were George M. Cohan, Laurette
Taylor, George ArliSs, H. B.
Warner, Mrs. Fiske and o. p.
Heggie. The last performance
in Pittsburgh brought in $129,-
258. A full week, that included
performances in st. Louis, Louis
vile, Cincinnati, ColombuS,
Cleveland and Pittsburgh netted
$242, 900.
To all of which Bill Fields will
probably reply: THAT was war,
and theatergoers were practi-
cally drafted. How else explain
$1,000 for one admission, and IS
program?" William would be
right. So let it stand, Helen
Hayes, as a peace-time and
normalcy box office champion
of the legitimate.

Three 'Cs' Replace Three RS
In Upper Grades at Fairfax
Pupils Develop Personality and Speed
Up Grasp of Wanted Information
With Committee System.

The three "Cs" have replaced the
three RS as the main things to
be learned In the upper grades at
the Fairfax. Va. Elementary School,
where the students work together and
like it.
Principal James Edward Bauserman
is the daddy" of the system. under
which his pupils study in groups at
big tables instead of at individual
desks and concentrate on angles of
the subjects in which they are most
interested.
This method of work makes study
ing more enjoyable for the student,
speeds up his ability to learn and de-
velops his personality, Mr.. Bauserman
explained.
Instead Of the three Rs we are
trying to teach the three Cs-citizen-
ship. character and culture" he en-
phasized.
The upper three grades In the Fair
fax Elementary School now are taught
by this committee or group method,
which Mr.. Bauserman first began de-
veloping when he was principal Of
the Groveton School in 1872 They
are the sixth, seventh and HIP, or
high school preparatory grades.
Main Ideas Subdiyided.
Study topics which require consid-
cradle research are divided into vari-
Gus subjects or branches of the main
idea. Students then have their choice
Of joining any Of the particular groups
or moving from group to group until
they settle on the phase of the topic
under study that most interests them
and fits in with their natural abilities.
Walk into the HIP class at the
school today and you will see the
earnest young pupils seated around
tables discussing and working together
on their latest project designed to
bring out all that Is worth knowing
about Then and Now in. Fairfax
County" Through this work they
learn more about some practical as
poets Of history, civics, geography and
science than they could get by the
much duller sort Of conventional
study of textbooks at their desks.
Scores of essays written by them
selves on this project have been
edited by the school children and
soon will be published in booklet
form. Even the Fairfax County
Chamber of Commerce may be proud
of the detailed and varied informa-
ton contained therein.
After they were given this general
assignment the students decided among
themselves the outlines to be followed
by various study groups. A list Of
questions was discussed by each group
and arrangements made for inter-
views with county officials, owners of
historic homes and scores Of others
to gather their material. When their
research was completed the students
composed their varied essays.
Many Subtopics Included.
The subtopics included such sub
jects as THE History of Fairfax Coun-
ty," County Government" Districts
in Fairfax County" Courthouse"
CLERK of the Court" 1.-THE Duties Of
the Commissioner of Revenue" Pub
lie Welfare" "Lorton Reformatory."
