BELAS(;0
BY WOODY WEST

by playwright and producer David
Belasco, in association with the Shu-
bert brothers.
AS the theater changed from a ven
ture to an established part of the city
scene, the fame of members of the au-
dience often rivaled that of the per.
formers, as Presidents, Congressman,
diplomats and Washington society
spent numerous evenings there.
Imagine for a moment a final en-
core at the Belasco as the wrecking
crew waits in the wings. Maude Adams,
Rose COglan, Jack, Maurice and Ethel
Barrymore, John Drew, Victor Moore,
Eddy Foy, Eva Tanguay, Nora Hayes,
Will Rogers, Weber and Fields, Helen
Hayes, Ruth Chatterton, Enrico Caruso,
Ina Claire, David Warfield, Estelle
Wentworth, Mae West we're among the
cream of the performers who passed
across the Belasco stage.
1t was at the Belasco that the
comedy team of Weber and Fields dis
covered local girl, Helen Hayes, who
went on to become a legend on the
American stage.
Will Rogers was not yet national
figure when he played the Belasco
and was signed by Flo Ziegfeld from
under the chagrined noses of the Shu-
bert brothers. 1t also was at the Be-
lasco that Rogers quip about the time
devoted by President Harding to the
golf course and yachting apparently
pricked the Chief Executives pride.
The following day, Secret Service
man called on the comedian and asked
that the lines be deleted. Rogers
obliged. But shortly after, the Presi-
dent, in what Rogers felt was rebuke,
spent an evening at the only other
theater in Washington at that time.
Rogers then told an audience, "After
all, it is the test of big man whether
he can stand the gaff"
President Coolidge, it is told,

referred to Governor PaieWon-
sky's denial of statements at
tr1buted to him regarding the

that the Governor of the Vir-

Nothing can change the

FTC TO Prescribe
Better Lab cling

Better labelling for furniture,
to protect the consumer, is in
the offing. According to Chang

zine, after nearly three years

is about to come out with rules
that will make life easier for the

The new rules will outlaw any

woods, including indirect mis-
representation resulting from
failure to disclose pertinent
facts, Changing Times reports.
Truthful descriptions must be
on all tags and labels and in
advertisements. Specifically, the
rules provide:
The wood used for exposed
surfaces must be labeled by its
true name. Examples Of false
claims would be describing as
"maple" a captains chair made
of birch; using the term "solid
mahogany" or "mahogany" to
describe a mahogany veneered
table; describing a walnut :
stained blackberry chair as
Danish style walnut; or de-
scribing any nom lumber product
such as hardboard, fiberboard,
metal, plastic, ETC., as wood.
(The term, "mahogany-g rained
hardboard, to describe a simu-
lated finish on a wood imitation
would be accurate, however,
Ads may not contain half
truths tending to mislead. For
example, a manufacturer must
not describe as "maple" table
that consists Of maple top with
pecan legs; he must use the
more accurate label "m aple
top pecan legs" Similarly,

The word "walnut" can re-
fer only to woods Of the genus

woods from different trees, but
both are legal designations.
But even when the new labels

points out, it will still be up to
the buyer to understand what he
is reading and the wise con-

severe effects are due to a

N eW N efhod For
Roofing Cuttings

The lost art Of "slipping,"
or making cuttings Of a favorite
plant, can be revived through a
system perfected by Mentor,
Ohio horticulturist, according to
Changing Times, the Kiplinger
Magazine.
An article in the current issue
Of the magazine reports that
Lewis F. Lipp, horticulturist at
the Holden Arboretum, has per-
fected a method of roofing
cuttings that will work "even
for the poor gawk who is all
thumbs, not one Of them green"
Basically, the method con-
sists Of planting the cuttings in
a box, watering them, then
putting a tentlike plastic cover
ing over them to keep the mois-
ture in. The cuttings may be
left in a warm place all winter
and by spring they will be
rooted.
Equipment includes a green
house flat shallow wooden
box measuring IL x 18 inches
or 16 % inches, 4 inches
deep filled with a mixture Of
75% German peat moss and 25&
granular Styrofoam and covered
with cheesecloth supported by
three heavy wire hoops, bent
to resemble the hoops on a
covered wagon. A sheet Of
polyethylene plastic IS used to
wrap the entire flat to check
the loss Of moisture.
Slips 8 to 6 inches long can
be cut in August or September
from new wood that has ma
tured, and prepared as follows:
Strip the lower leaves so that
only three or four remain near
the top; slit the lower end of
each stem for two inches by
drawing sharp knife down the
side to expose the thin, soft,
slippery layer (cambium) that
lies just under the bark. Dip
the stems in hormone powder,
then insert them in the flat at
an angle, pushing them down
until the leaves are near the
surface. Firm the peat moss
mixture around the cuttings.
water thoroughly, cover tn e
hoops with a thickness Of wet
cheesecloth and wrap the flat
with the polyethylene sheet,
tucking 1t under all around.
During the winter, keep the
fiat where the temperature is
over 65 degrees. II put in a
sunny window, 1t should be
partially shaded. BY spring, ac-
cording to Changing Times, "the
cuttings should have a thick
bundle Of roots and you should
have a reputation as a person
with a new green thumb"

Fever Blister Virus
A Prenatal Threat

Herpes simplex, the virus that
causes fever blisterS, may be
responsible for more birth de-
fects than is generally recog-
nized, Drs. Joe E. Mitchell and
Fred G. Mccall, Bristol, Tenn,
said recently.
The virus, which has caused
death in infants presumably in
fected during passage through
the birth canal, apparently can
be transmitted to the developing
embryo in the womb, the two
pediatricians reported in the
current American Journal Of
Diseases of Children, published
by the American Medical Asso-
citation.
Their conclusion was based on
the birth of a baby with clump
of fever bliSters on the right
forearm. The baby's father had
developed fever blister Of the
lip about 10 days before the
birth, the authors said.
"The fact that this infant was
infected in utero by the virus Of
herpes simplex would seem to
be clearly established, since the
initial LESSONS were present at
the time Of BIRTH" they said.
Although the baby's initial
condition was good and he was
released from the hospital after
seven days, they said, his de-
velopmental progress was
somewhat slow. At age two, they
said, he had continued to have
occasional crops of bliSters,
there was mild cerebral palsy
affecting the right arm and leg,
and the right eye turned in
ward.
The mother did not develop
a fever blister or other symp-
toms, but she apparently had
been infected by the father.
Tests after delivery showed she
had antibodies to protect against
herpes simplex, and the relative
mildness Of the baby's initial
response may have been due
to the presence of antibodies at
the time he was infected.
1t appears that infection oc-
Cured in the infant about one
week before delivery, the
authors said, adding:
zone can only speculate as
to the damage which might re-
suit in even earlier intra-
uterine contact with the virus,
particularly in those individuals
without circulating antibodies.
Most adults, roughly IS to
98 per cent, have neutralizing
anti bodies to the herpes SIM
plex virus, they said.
Although fever blisters are
the most common manifestation
Of herpes simplex, they said,
