They arrived at great effects" be-
cause they possessed the rare attri-
butte. of being able to lose themselves,
their W personalities, in the parts
they played.
While other actors needed new ve-
hicles every year, they maintained their
tremendous popularity in a single role
Maybe they were not so great as the
others because they lacked versatility
But they held a high place in the re-
gard of theater patrons.
One other among their contempor-
aries found it best to have a repertory,
but also was best known and more
successful in a single play. He was
James O'Neil who usually played five
or six dramas per city visited, but his
reputation rested mainly upon The
Count of Monte Christie.
What a treat it would be if the stage
had their equals today.

Backward Glance At The
Stage

In his autobiography Thomas JEFF
ferson wrote: "The methods of which
actors arrive at great effects vary &C
cording to their own natures" No mas
ter-hand, he added, "can prescribe
rules for the head of another school,"
That is to say a talented tragedian
cannot we'll teach an actor whose forte
is melodrama how to "arrive at great
effects" albeit the same principles OF
diction, stance, poise and as needs be
temper apply to both.
Trite as it is, the actor in any school
must live the part he portrays, or fail.
We have had in this country three
actors who reached the pinnacle of fame
in a single play. They were seen year
after year by audiences throughout the
country with the same enjoyment as
when their shows were first witnessed.
They were Joe Jefferson, in Rip Van
Wrinkle; Denman Thompson, in The Old
Homestead, and James A. Hearn in
Shore Acres. Olsters who sat reneatedlv
in their audiences grow nostalgia when

Victims Of Evil Leaders

The Senate has voted favorably on
! labor control bill which obviously
faces a White House veto. Equally OBJ
I yyious is the fact that the bill was de-
Z liberately drafted with this in view.
The republican majority seems to have
had an eye on the chance to put Presi-
dent Trum an out On a limb for party
reasons with the 1913 presidential cam
paiqns looming large on the political
screen.
If it could put across a bill the Presi-
dent would not sign, then response
bilitv for the failure of corrective labor
leoislation could be placed on him, and
10 makes votes for the republican nomi-
nee in next years national election.
When the Senate was polled on the
raft bill more favorable votes were
IS cast for it than would be necessary
to override a presidential veto. Thus

Gravy Mopping Technique

It's more or less understandable
that the dignified cut-and-dried
books on elevated standards of
gustatory procedures should omit
mention of practical methods If
salvaging gravy. It's one of those
things about which g man has to
Il judgment. In higl society a
man is going to watch his P's
and Q's, but in the comfort of his
own home he certainly intends to
get all the delicious gravy left on
h. plate.
If it's very thin and runny, the
best way is to tip the plate and
use a teaspoon. Don't try to put
on the dog and tip the plate away
from you, as the rules say for soup
consumption. A good many men
have discovered they can fold a
slice of moist bread and use this
for a mopper-upper. One school
OF philosophy favors corr bread.
After it's crumbled and mixed with
the liquid, it can be patted into
mounds with a fork. But for
everyday efficiency nothing is bet
ter than a buttered half of a hot
fluffy biscuit with a crisp brown
crust. You a hold it easily; it
sops up the gravy quickly; you can
take a bite and then use the left
over section for further hopping.
The tool employed is not the vital
point. Each man should expert.
ment and use the equipment that
is most functional for him.

Boon To Science

Since the world has or seems to
have contracted so greatly as a result
of aviation and the radio, the farthest
points assume considerable Importance.
Thus the announcement that La Gorce
mountain in Antarctica is of sedimen-
tary rock formation, in contrast with
the prevalent igneaus rock masses of
the frozen southern continent led Ad-
miral BYRD to call it a most interest
ing discovery"
Biologists believe the mountain may
become a source of valuable informa-
ton on the ancient animal and vege-
table life as well as on the present min
: eral of Antarctica.
The l~imestones, sandstones, and
shales are examples Of sedimentary
rock. They generally are formed
through the parade Of centuries by
slow processes of pressure, heat, and
concentration on the muds and sands that
constantly deposited in layers on
the bottoms Of oceans, lakes, and
=, rivers.
Sedimentary rock formations fire.
quently preserve some plant and animal
fossils as we'll as evidence of a variety
ssx
of mineral. In contrast, igneous rock
formations are volcanic rock, formed
by slow qualifications from a molten
state, and do not preserve fossil re-
mains.
=. Science may well make new advances
from studies of the formation of La
Gorce mountain.

if the line is held, the bill could be
enacted into law. Although the House
of Representatives has voted eve more
restrictions on labor, and there must
be joint committee consideration tc
bring the two into agreement, there
is no doubt that the House too would
repass a revised bill returned from the
White House.
The consequence would be that the
laboring men of the country would
again become the victims of their lead
ers' purpose to set up a labor dictator
ship with themselves in the saddle.
It is not the present purpose to cite
the many complicated provisions of the
Taft bill or the bill approved by the
House.
Rather, we would point out that the
so-called labor gains" of the Roose-
welt administration have been so abused
and the country's recovery from the
unstable conditions created by the re-
cent wal so retarded by strikes that
the nationwide revulsion against the
domination of union chiefs is reflected
in the bills approved by both branches
of Congress. If Mr.. Humans prob
able veto of the final draft Of the labor
control legislation is set aside, the
blame would lodge with the John L.
Lewises ct al who have dreamed of
labor sovereignty.

Live Wire For Bluethenthal

AS applied to men, the term Give
wire'' means they are the dynamos Of
business and industrial success. Nat
urally they are the men sought out tt
head undertakings that need sparkling
Such a man is needed to operate
Bluethenthal airport, which as yet has
not been developed sufficiently to yield
a profitable revenue since the County
Commission fell heir to the plant follow
ing the Army's removal.
And such a man has signifled his
willingness to lease the field. Horace
A. Barnes of Lumberton is Exceed
ingly interested" in taking over Blue
thenthal, according to press reports, and
spent two hours in an informal discus
sion of the proposal with the County
Commission all of a month ago.
To be sure, the field has not finally
been surrendered to New Hanover
county, and any arrangement for It's
operation by an outsider would have to
receive CAA approval. But neither of
these conditions is insurmountable and
need not interfere with an agreement
to lease the field to Mr.. Barnes contin-
gent upon both being successfully con-
Guided.
Mr.. Barnes has brought his Lum-
berton airport up from nothing, so to
speak, to the most patronized airport
in the Carolinas. He has also been op-
Grating a similar project in Greenville
with equal success as compared with
its opportunity. He has agents in the
field, contracting private aviators, just
as railroads maintain a force of travel
ing passenger and freight agents, to
drum up" business.
There is no reason to doubt that
he could spark the Pluethenthal prof.
ect as he has spanked the fields he
now operates, with profit lOr HlillSell
and for New Hanover county. Because
he has exceptional qualifications and
has proved his executive ability at
Lumberton and G%reenville, it is diff
cult to understand why the county is
reluctant to deal with him.
Certainly the granting of a lease to
an experienced and successful airport
operator is more desirable than plant
ing any part of Bluethenthal in soy
beans or other questionable farm crop.
Bluethenthal is an $11, 900 1000 air
port-the best from a construction
viewpoint in the state. Small-scale
farming of it's outer acreage has no
proper place in it's utilization.

If it's against universal mill

the big vets organizations, the
about preparedness boys and the
people who are afraid of Russia
will be heard from. If the report
is in favor of UNIT, pacificts will
yell twice as loud. Pressure will
then be put on Congress, which
will have the thankless job of de-

Over the past few years War De-

tying to sell the idea of such tain

country into another war. But in
the meantime these opponents Of
the idea have been idle on the
propaganda front themselves.

PASSENGER CARS

The first railroad passenger
coaches were commonly nothing
more than stagecoaches mounted
on four iron wheels, with some of
thu passengers required to st on
the roof, where they we're forced
to endure the dense smoke which
poured from the smokestack OF
the wood : and-pitch-burning en-
CINE.
Then came larger coaches, re-
sembling big cans about the size
of our early streetcars. These
were lighted by tallow candles
which frequently dripped on the
already uncomfortable passengers
seated on hard wooden seats. Dur
ing the winter, a woodworking
stove placed at one end OF each
car provided a little uneven heat.
Somewhat later, hot-water pipes
running down the length of the
car YER attached to the stove.
This was an Improvement.
BY 1850, travel was made much
more pleasant through the placing
OF springs under the cars, and
ventilators in the ceilings. In 1887,
the electrically lighted coach and
the closed-vestibule car came.
During the early years of the goth
century. the all-steel car was in
troduced.
Travel on the first trains in
America was slow. and distances
were relatively great. Because OF
such conditions, sleepingcars OF
sorts were provided during 1886.
They were merely coaches divided
into four compartments, with
hunks ranged in two ana even
three tiers along the walls. Bed
clothes were not provided. and
toilet facilities were limited to a
basin and a pail of water in the
rear of each car.
It was not until 1858 mat any
thing even remotely resembling a
modern sleeper appeared. In that
year, a young engineer named
George Pullman remodeled two
old coaches, fitting them with ten
sleeping sections finished in
cherry wood with plush upholster-
eel seats. Light was provided by
oil lamps and heat by a box stove.
