NEW YORK.
From the perspective of hot July
afternoon. the coming theatrical
season looks decidedly musical, con-
tinuing a trend started almost two
years ago. A second wartime theat-
rical trend - plays about juvenile
delinquency-seems on the wane.
At least one newcomer will be de-
voted to errant youth, however. and
that is Anna Lucasta." Written by

Another musical slated for early

Smith have done 1t again.
In list of II names which
the War Department cited as
being the most common or the
Army's roster, Smiths led the
field with $4,000 claimants -
the equivalent of five division,
or almost one percent of the
Army roll.
Considerably bel n d the
Smiths, the Johnsons came in
for second place with $500 clan
members. Others on the list and
the total number of men answer
ing to each were: Brown, &c.

The total of the IL names
mounts to 385,39O men, and &C.
counts for about one-twentieth
of the Army.
The moral OF the story, &C.

is that everyone should address

LISTED IN RECORD
It took many months, but the
true story finally came to light
from deep in an old Navy rec
ord.
There were more than hum
dred r. Z. Joneses in the old
Navy file; but far down the list,
1t. George spotted his man. This
r. z. Jones had disappeared
from his ship off the coast of
Africa in 1904.
Whether he deserted or was
washed overheard, no one will
ever know, but evidently he fell
in with the cannibals. 1t. George
was certain that he had come to
the end of his search when the
navy record showed that the
missing seaman, of whom no
word ha been heard for lao
years, had a tattoo on his chest.
The head of the tom-tom was

1t. Z. L. George of the U. 5
Navy was set upon a strange
search which enabled him to
explain the mystery that for lac
years surrounded the disappear
ance of a man named Jones.
The souvenir which 1t.
George, whose home is in San
Francisco, brought back to the
United States with him from
foreign duty was tom-tom.
He acquired the crude instru-
ment when his ship hove in to a
deserted cove along the African
coast. Behavior of the natives
indicated that white men rarely
had set foot on that particular
strip of the great dark continent,
so 1t. George set out to do a lit

He snapped a native his jack
knife for the tom-tom.
FINDS LETTERS "U. S."
Almost from the first, the
naval officer found something
strangely fascinating about the
tom-tom. An unusual blue mark
on the head of the instrument
particularly intrigued him. He
wondered about its origin for a
long time.
Determined to learn every
thing possible about that mark,
he examined it one day through
a magnifying lens. The mark as
sumed the blurry shape of sew

even through the magnifying
glass, but 1t. George distinctly
saw the letters ~. c."
He returned to the United
States and presently was as
signed as eecutive officer of the
naval receiving station at

tom still absorbed him. He sent
the head to the bureau of stand

examined under erful
glasses and forwarded to the
Smithsonian Institute where mi

taken.
