maybe you can't tell
Anyhow this particular living news
paper employs this special technique
for bringing its message closer to the
audience and vice versa. 1t is in
tended, we suppose, to jar the Specta-
tors at g. one third of nation ;"
out of mere objective looking on and
get them right in the center of things.
In the Civic Theater production
Murray Sheehan, cast as the Little
Man, the nearest thing to a starring
role in the show, is the one who makes
his entrance from the third row Of
the orchestra. He is the fellow who
sits through the first three scenes,
then begins asking the questions which
bring about the action from thereon.
Selma Klein remember that hilari-
Gus bit she added to the end of
George and Margaret') is another
who makes her entrance from the
back Of the house and plays most
of her scenes from the aisle of the
theater. So Director F. Cowles Strick-
land for once has the honor of making
the first reservations for one Of his
shows, not buying seats, but setting
them aside for his actors.
There's another unusual and diff
cult role, which director does not
have to worry about casting nor an
actor about playing in most stage pro-
auctions. It's a character invented
especially for the living newspaper
technique and his name is Loud
speaker. Edward Stevlingson will
handle the task here, never being seen.
but acting as a sort of ringmaster
for the whole works.

anxiety over disorders in Czecho-
slovakis threatening fresh warlike de-
velopments shot wheat prices in Chi
cago up 3l2 cents a bushel late today
Earlier market declines were far more
than offset.
Tending also to bring about late

OF Mexico had been raised 3 cents to
IA cents.
1t was reported 6-hour ultimatum
from Sudeten Germans had been
served on the Czech government. Ex-
cited outbursts of speculative buying
whirled wheat prices up in the last

of IVA power should not be direct but through cooperative associa- tions organized to distribute the power, bought wholesale, to muni- cipalities and government units, and to industrial users.
 From that small beginning in 1883, IVA electricity has come to almost 40O00 people; it is serving 18 cities, and has contracts with 15 more to whom service for one req son or another has not yet begun, including large cities like Memphis, Chattanooga, and Knoxville. It is serving 16 cooperative associations and has three more under contract.
 Inroads such as these into field hitherto reserved for, if not fully occupied by, privately owned utili- ties, earned their bitter opposition. In courts, local and federal, suits against IVA held back the tide, while stocks of operating compan- ies and great combines like Com monwealth and Southern suffered. IVA Upheld

BOOKLETS PRINTED
 ON TUBERCULOSIS
National Association to Supply Information to
 Patients, Doctors

Hartford, March 25. - Announce. ment was made today at the office Of the State Tuberculosis Commis- sion that two booklets on tuber- culosis, one for the patient and the other for the doctor of the future" |" will be made available this spring by the National Tuberculosis Asso- citation to senior students in the Yale Medical School. pr. Kendall Emerson, managing director of the National Association, has an- announced that this is part of the service of the tuberculosis groups to carry on their educational activi- ties among the physicians, as well as among the general public.
 ITO the credit of the American doctor" the booklet for students says, "the record shows that he has from the beginning of the or ganized fight against tuberculosis generously joined hands with the medical crusader, fully agree ing with him that tuberculosis is not merely disease of certain tissues but social problem of first magni- tude. This fine record should for ever silence the criticism that doc tors interests are too narrowly limited to sick organs"
 In it's message to the medical stu dents, the National Association says, "The hope of eradicating tubercu- losis lies in the hands of the doc- tors of tomorrow.
 What You Should Know About Tuberculosis" is the title of the booklet for the patient. It is an in- terpretative booklet, offered as an aid to the physician in guiding his patient. It's tone is optimistic and the language is simple.
