lision
Boy!
The still painting customer fresh
back from the experience of THE
Mountain Limited or Villainy Rides
the Rails" is at a loss to name the
individual most responsible for his
condition. 1t probably is Richard
P. Creyke, who dramatized a dime
novel of the COS into the exciting
and elaborate production which
starts the theater's new season. On
the other hand, however, there is
Henry C. Pearson. who has created
two heaving monsters (what if they
are Beaverboard?) which create
the perfect illusion that all blank
is breaking loose on the tiny stage
at the Roadside. Then, there are
the heroes in overalls, the heroines
in bustles, etc, and the villains in
their bright. checked uniforms
they, too, have a great deal to do
with it.
In every respect, THE Mountain
Limited is in the best tradition of
the Roadside. Mr.. Creyke's hero,
David Darrell (it would be he) is
fellow of almost supernatural
bravery, honesty, modesty, and
cliches of speech. His heroine.
Lucy, daughter of the president of
the railroad, is virtues hand
maiden, sprinkled lightly with only
enough womanly wiles to compen-
safe for the tortured Shyness of
David Darrell. Between them. his
three villains run the gamut of
human depravity, the most hissable.
booable lot in several seasons.
BY way of assuring THE Noun
tam Limited" a just and worthy
Interpretation Director Ralph
Fowler uses virtually all of his first
string melodramatists in its cast.
His most inspired choice, perhaps,
is that of Norman Rose as the kew
villain, but he has done well, too,
with Dick Sykes as the shy, super
man, Darrell; Kenneth Banghart
as the pompous railroad president;
Betty Brunstetter as the lovely
daughter, lovely except for a Slight
forWardneSs toward David; Theo-
dore Tiller, I'd, as the true blue
newspaper reporter, and Jack Sala-
manca as the second villain.
BY way of making the evening
complete there's an entr'acte, Mel
lie Custer Boone" which features
Bibby Osterwald and earns an al
most spectacular number of encores.

makes HOLLYWOOD laugh, at least
within the limits of what it thinks

Is the latest word from the rich son
of the mother theater:
ANY fear that the theater is dy-
ing can be definitely appeased by a
perusal of the figures that Holly

for the screen rights to hit plays"
After the big prices are out of the
way the statement goes on with

following:
"Out of the Frying Pan" which
the critics tried to throw immedi-
ately into the fire, $4,000.

expect from talented Clare Booth,
$4,000.

Veterinarians Urge War
Against Swine Diseases

The government recent appeal
for increased swine production as
an aid to national defense has had
one quick result in most rural COM
munities-farmers are exerting new
vigilance to guard against prevalent
swine diseases which annually take
a toll of nearly 80 per cent of the
nations hog population.
Hog cholera is being looked upon
as public enemy No. 1" in the cur
rent drive to reduce swine losses,
because cholera kills more hogs
than any other single disease.
Veterinarians and livestock Of
ficials are urging utmost possible
vigilance against fresh epizootics
this season, and prompt control
measures wherever cholera may
make its appearance. Symptoms of
the disease include sluggishness, a
tendency to pile up, partial or total
prostration, fever, and scours. At
the first signs of such symptoms a
veter marian should be called.
1.-The best insurance against this
No. swine killer is to have pigs
vacccinated against cholera around
weaving time" says the American
Foundation for Animal Health re-
port. "When pigs are young they
require less serum and virus, and
the immunization generally lasts un.
til they are ready for market.
Cholera generally strikes so swiftly
and kills so quickly that there is
little that farmer can do, once his
hogs are down with the disease.
That is why immunization is the
. best Insurance against cholera
losses"

Ho1v Far a Polo Ball?

In his prime, Tommy Hitchcock
could hit polo ball as far as any
one I ever saw. Dew Milburn and
Wilburn Guest were also on the
longer side.
Hitchcock figures that $50 yards,
half the distance of the field, is
about all one can get from full
polo smash. Any wallOp beyond 100
yards is good, hard hitting.
"The longest drive I've seen," an
eyewitness writes, "came from a
combination of golf and polo. Wins
ton Guest teed up a golf ball at
Meadowbrook one day, mounted his
polo pony and was then handed a
polo mallet. With a good, galloping
start and a double windup Guest
drove the golf ball the full length OF

Farm Notes

A silage crop can be grown, har-
vested and put in the silo for about
So a ton.
A COW must eat 100 pounds or
more of grass daily to produce 20
to % pounds of milk.
Since the beginning of All club
work on nationwide basis, it has
reached over 100000 rural young
people.
Hens lay about as many eggs dur
ing March, April, May and June as
they do all the other eight months of
the year.
Cows Craze only hours a day,
no matter how luxuriant the pas
turage, and spend IL hours lying
down, and hours standing or walk
ing around.
Bulls should be confined in pens
as safety measure, but to insure
their value as herd sires, they
should be fed hay and silage of as
good quality as is available on the
farm. The weight of the bull should
be controlled by regulating the guam
tity of grain and roughage not by
supplying feed of Door quality.

PROTECT HORSES
IN HOT WEATHER
Plenty of Water, Rest Help
Prevent Overheating.
BY ]. L. EDMONDS
(Chief, Horse Husbandry at University of
ILIinoic HnILana of a nricIIItIIra \

(Chief, Horse Husbandry at University OF
Illinois. College of Agricultural
"Be kind to and as considerable
of your horses as you would want
to be treated yourself" is a safe
rule to follow in handling work
stock during hot weather.
Essentially the same rules which
apply to the human being in hot
weather also apply to the farm
horse. Plenty of water and the
proper feed, careful driving, suf-
fcient rest and the prevention OF
overheating are the principal pre-
cautions to observe in caring for the
Woodworking horse in summer.
When horses are doing hard field
work during hot weather, a barrel
of water and a pail should be taken
to the field so the horses can be
watered once an hour.
Since the freely perspiring work
horse has high salt requirement,
he will stand the heat better when
literally supplied with salt.
In extremely hot weather it may
be necessary to reduce working
hours and tighten the load. The
noon rest period may be heightened
or work begun very early and
stopped before noon. Some farmers
have successfully worked their
horses at night.
Like human beings, horses that
are "off feed" should not be expect
ed to do hard days work in sum-
mer, since it is too risky. Instead,
such horses should be kept in the
barn or on pasture where there is
shade.
When the sweat "dries in," and
the horse starts to pant and gets
"wobbly' in his gait, he has been
overworked. The careful horseman
will stop and rest his team before
this stage is reached. An over
heated horse should be put into the
shade, and cold water or ice bags
applied to his head, spine and legs.
Serious cases of overheating are
even difficult for experienced vet
erinarians to handle. Prevention is
therefore especially important.
Once the horse is overheated, even
though he RECEIVERS, he is seldom
able to do hard work during high
temperatures.

Golf Singers

In golf Jimmy Thomson remains
the long-distance ruler with some
thing to spare.
AS I recall the figures Thomson
has won the last six driving contests
arranged by the PEA.
1t must be remembered that the
only true measure III golf is from a
fiat surface, with no helping wind.
Roll doesn't count. You can drive
golf ball mile on the ice. And
few of the long hitters can stand
on an elevated tee and pass 300
yards on the carry with helping
gale.
One earnest seeker for records
once drove a golf ball well over a
understanding at the top of the
Grand Canyon.
Driving from level surface, I'M
helped by a wind, ThOmson's best
blows usually range from 270 to 275
yards. This is big blasting. A carry
of $50 yards under these conditions
is big hitting. doubt that any golf
er ever carried 800 yards on fiat
ground, minus a keen breeze.
know that few good hitters care
to risk a carry beyond 225 yards
when there is trouble to face.
A helping or a headwind makes a
much greater difference than many
know. A headwind is also a mental
handicap since it usually brings on
pressing and Overeffort, which is al.
ways mistake.

Getting Distance

Distance isn't mere matter of
bulk and physical power by many
yards.
Ben Hogan, weighing less than 135
pounds, is longer by yards than
most of the 100 or 200-pOund swing
ers.
l once saw Cyril Walker, then
weighing ITO pounds, outdrive Wal
ter Hagen, at 1856, consistently in
big tournament.
Distance comes largely from club
head speed-more SO than from any
other single factor.
Bobby Jones one day, with his
own clubs missing, used his wife's
set. Mrs. Jones' driver weighed
only IL ounces, much lighter than
BOb's.

Dorothy Thompson, the columnist,

other night where the guests were

She said she couldn't sit with her
enemies "Enemies?" asked
one of them, "but you are pure

was her volley, "but I'm also an

When Haywood Broun was COW
ering big league ball games (before
he took up colyuming) he casually
mentioned, in one of his reports,
that a large and intelligent crowd
witnessed the contest What,
his sports editor wanted to know,
was the idea of writing that a large
and intelligent crowd had attended
the game when the Associated Press
coverage of the same tussle men
toned that the attendance was
slightly less than scanty.
"Crowd at game was large and in
telligent," wired back Broun, "Fat-
ty Arbuckle was in stands. He is
large. I am intelligent"
The Damon Runyons were doing

Hazel said, anything to show me
that romance can bloom on this darn

then revealed how she met Damon
and how she almost didn't 1t
was at the Silver Slipper many
years ago, and Patrice was in the

Runyon came in for the premiere,
