SOLUTION

The Navy Department and the Post office De-
partment are having no end of trouble names
Every time the Navy names ship, lot of people
get mad because their particular State city hero
isn't chosen And every time the Post Office issues
a new list of names to be honored on stamps there
is loud complaint. Right people want to know
why Edgar Allan Poe hasn't been included among the
poets to be honored in series of stamps, and
why Edison isn't among the inventors
1t might be good idea for the Government to
get together with the man who names Pullman cars
and appoint joint Commission for Choosing Names
In its spare time the commission could get up lists
of the ten best books to take to a desert island.

Longest Speech
In Tobacco Road

One of the longest speeches ever

guy by Jeeter Lester in Tobacco

drama of the poor whites of
Georgia. which comes TO the Tenn
pie theater for an engagement of
two performances. starting Sept.

himself on the porch of his tum-

picture of his former prosperity up
to the day when Captain John
couldn't give me no more rstions
or snuff and how 1.-The smell of
the broom sedge burnin' near about
drives me crazy"
The speech is longer than any
of Hamiet's and almost as long
as some of Eugene ONeill's asides
in Strange 1nterlude.' Yet John
Barton, who plays Jeeter Lester,
asserts that he had no difficulty
in learning it.
THE playwright has written 1t
so beautifully that each word falls
into place" says the actor. 1T
would be impossible to say it in
any other way than as it is writ
