one should need to be told that
this Irish comedy represents the
most lyrically lovely. uproar-
iously joyous use of the English
language since owners of the
latter thrust 1t upon the western
isle.
The surprise is that the uni
versity's speech and drama de-
partments waited these 18 years
to get around to "The Playboy."
However, these were maturing
years and it may be that every
one hesitated to trust young ac-
tors with speeches the like of
this by the extravagant young
hero to his sweetheart.
"1t's little you'll think if my
loves a poacher's. or an earls
itself. when you'll feel my two
hands stretched around you, and
squeezing kisses on your puck
cred lips, till I'd feel a kind of
pity for the Lord God in all
ages sitting lonesome in His
golden chair"
This is the way, wild and
wonderful, everyone in Synge's
peasant comedy talks and feels,
and why his ecstatic, ironic work
has kept theaters rocking for al

when it is played by the best

the triumph of 1.-THE Playboy" is
almost exclusively Synge's. True.

but it would be merry if read by

Catholic University, of course.
Is too well stocked with gifted
and/or zestful young players to
justify such an impoverished
production.
Director Leo Brady has filled
all the parts, the principal ones

youngsters who. in a long life,
may never again find themselves
having SO much fun. And, as an |
intelligent. experienced Brady |
would be bound to, the director |
of c. us "Playboy" never
f1inches from the truth that |
Synge's comedy is as satirical as |
1t is joyous.
Beyond that, he has sought to
imbue his performers with the
sense of sheer delight in living
that Synge found in his charac-
ters. This. and the plays lyrical

"The Playboy's" most exacting
demand is that imposed upon
the actor who plays Christy
Mahon, the mouse-like boy who
becomes a prince in the eyes of
his neighbors when they hear he
has killed his father. The part is
entrusted to Robert Moore, a
polished veteran of the school

One "do-it-yourself" insula-
ton material now on the market
seems to this writer to offer all
one could desire for its an
nounced purposes. First it &C.
complishes its basic function Of
keeping heat in the house in the
winter and heat out in summer.
Two other factors in favor Of
this insulation material are its
efficiency and ease of applica-
ton.
This insulation material Is q
reinforced asbestos larninated
with aluminium foil on both
sides. 1t can easily be tackled
or stapled to wall and overhead
studding and gives q pleasant
appearance.
This new combination of as
bestos and aluminium foil makes
q perfect insulation against heat
and cold. Being a relatively
thin material. about the thick
ness Of cardboard. it will not. in
itself. hold quantities Of heat
picked up during the day and
then release this heat at night.

New Insulation Material
Combines Asbestos With Foil

The aluminium foil is complete
protection against moisture be-
ing absorbed or passed. the
manufacturer says.
Because Of its construction. it
is this writer's opinion that this
type Of insulation is easier to
handle and easier TO install It
Is available In 100 square foot
rolls 10 inches and So inches
wide.

TESTING PROTEIN substitutes for
use in feeding livestock. Urea, a non
protein nitrogen compound, has been
used successfully for some time as a
protein supplement for feeding livestock
but scientists are seeking other such
compounds and have at least five that
show some promise. These five COM
pounds that are being tested by the
Iowa State college are ammonium form
ate, ammonium acetate, ammonium
propionate, fernando and propiona-
mide. PrOpi0namide seems so far to
have the greSteSt possibilities since it
is nontoxic. These new substitutes may
provide cheap feed sources in time but
none is as yet available for practical
livestock feeding.
SPEEDING DIGESTION of high Gel
lulose feeds by ruminants. Tests con-
Quoted at Iowa State College indicate
that hydrolized caSein (protein in milk
stimulates rumen heterogeneous in
the digestion of fibrous portions of hay
and other r0ughages. Feeding trials are
being conducted on sheep and cattle. q
GRADUATING POTATOES with
atomic rays to prevent sprouting. In
tests conducted at Brookhaven Nation
al Laboratory potatoes treated with
gamma rays have kept as long as IS
months at normal storage temperatures
without sprouting and without any loss
OF taste values. The treated potatoes
are entirely safe to eat but researchers
have yet to work out an inexpensive
way to treat potatoes in warehouses.
MILKING STERILE cows. By in
Jecting such hormones as stiIbesteroI
progresterone and a growth hormone.
University of Minnesota researchers
have put several sterile cows into pro-
ductlon. One produced more than 400
pounds of butterfat in SO5 days.
PRESERVING CAROTENE content
OF alfalfa meal and pellets by treating
the alfalfa with an animal fat or vege-
table oil. The discovery may provide
another use for surplus animal fats.
Fresh alfalfa abounds in carotene but
when it is dried so to rs per cent of the
original content combines with oxygen
and disappears. This loss has been
greatly checked by application of anti
in oil. Now it is found that the
animal or vegetable fats alone viii
check the loss. Tests have shown that
alfalfa meal treated with per cent of
animal fats retained nearly twice as
much carotene as untreated meal. Oil
ing the dried, chopped alfalfa also keeps
down dust in dehydrating plants and
reduces fire hazard.
REDUCING HARD-SEED content in
northern grown alfalfa seed. Research /
workers at the Wyoming Agricultural
experiment Station are building a COM
nercIai-type machine to reduce the
lard-seed content by applying dry heat.
