Day Laborer Becomes Dramatist. For a time it seemed as if Irish drama_had escaped from the Celtic mists only to perish in a degert of didacticism. A return to better things | has been made possible by the merg- ence of a dramatist of genius in the person of Sean O'Casey. He is a Dub- lin day laborer, who has beaten all the intellectualists at their own game.. An uncompromising realist, Mr. O’Case differs from other Irish dramatic real- fsts in a gift of humor and an In- stinctive sense of the theater. Though in “The Shadow of a Gunman" and “June and the Paycock” he handles the most furious political controver- sles of the hour, his interest is not in the formulas themse) but in their impact upon the every-day lives of or- dinary people. The moldering Dub- Uin tenements from which most Irish writers have averted their eyes have been shown by Mr. O'Ca: tQ contain as rich a lode of dramatic ore as Synge unearthed In the cabins of Connemara. In “The Glorious Uncertainty,” a joyous comedy on the national mania for horse racing, Brinsley MacNamara shows no small measure of the energy and gusto that mark O'Casey’s work. Lennox Robinson struck out a new path with “The Round Table,” and his “Portrait,” produced a few months ago, 18 a still more daring experiment in psychological drama. This year for the first time the Free State Government has made a grant to the Abbey Theater of £850, which there is reason to expect will be re- newed annually.

Yeats, with his romantic vision; Paul and Grace Henry, who have done for the west in paint what Synge did for it in prose; John Keating, with his peasants, and Willlam Conor, with his mill hands and Orangemen, the Irish can hold up their heads against the best of their nefghbors Ireland in the past evolved a tradi- tion_of artistic craftsmanship unique in Europe. For centuries it remained no more than a memory. But in later days something has been done to re- store it by the pioneer efforts of Miss Sarah Purser and Harry Clarke in stained glass and by the jewelry and | metal work of Miss Mia Cranwill. In | the future, some good observers hold, the secret of Irish prosperity may be found to lie in finding scope for the individualistic genius of the people in art indust rather than in disci- plining them to the requirements of mass production.

LONDON, August 14.—Emigration from England and Scotland to less crowded parts of the empire is less than half as great as before the war, fespite the fact that the home coun- try is overcrowded and opportunities for workers seem ta grow scarcer. Last year, despite the growth of un- employment and the encouragement given to emigrants through govern ment financlal assistance, only 88,883 people left to take up residence in the dominions and colonfes. In 1913, when no financial help was offered by the state, the number was 223,681, The natural increase of population on this island averages about 300,000 persons a year at present Unless more people depart, overcrowding and perhaps unemplovment will steadily become more severe. In 1913, statistics given by the co- lonial secretary show, 164,566 people emigrated from this country to Can. ada and Newfoundland, but last year the total was only 47.194. For the same years the number going to Aus- tralia ‘dwindled from 44,500 to 30,30 to New Zealand, from 11,800 to 8,740, and for other parts of the empire, from 2,340 to 2,000. Only South Af- rica showed an increased magnetism for emigrants, but the figures are in- significant—375 emigrants {n 1913 and 649 last year These facts are causing serious pon derings among many, who feel that trade will never wax large enough to absorb all the idlers in England and Scotland unless their numbers are vastly lowered by wholesale migra. | tion to those parts of the empire which are underpopulated. There are some who feel that emigration never can be made properly attractive so long as persons can stay at home and make a living doing nothing. That is what the dole amounts to, in their eyes, and there are about 1,300,000 persons on the dole, receiving their hand-out from the state each week they are without work. The unem- ployed, it is contended, prefer to stay where they are, rather than wrench themselves away from this island and gamble on a little more glittering fu- ture in pastures new. There have been many efforts to or- ganize parties of emigrants from vil lages and townships, but few have met with success. The people simply won't budge. The Morning Post says the most disquieting reflection which this experience suggests is the “de of the epirit of adventure in our peo- our whole empire has been founded and peopled.” Force of 560 Pounds to Square Inch Used to Bite Bone. By Science Service. BERLIN, September 12.—How hard does a dog bite? Dr. W. Treska, watching his mongrel Ponto whittle a T-bone down to a thin sliver, de- cided that here was a lot of energy gone to the dogs. He set a mechani ond bone and found out how much energy it took to make that one look like the other just before the dog swallowed it. He finally calculated that it took a force of 560 pounds to the square inch to bite a bone. Tearing meat of average toughness takes only a fourth as much energy. Sun Hatches Turkey Eggs.

The hen had laid 18 eggs and had hatched 1 chick. The mother and her chick were penned up.

BY JOHN GUNTHER. LONDON, September 12.—The first By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. group of aircraft experts has just left "London on one of the greatest empire schemes ever developed—a two-way weekly air service between Egypt and Indla. Announcement was made beveral days ago that the air ministry had concluded the Imperial Airways, Ltd., a private company, of which Sir Eric Geddes is chairman, a contract where- by such service would be operated for five years under strict government supervision. Such a service has been the dream for years of those experts who realize that future cohesion of the British Empire is dependent in a large meas- ure ypon facilities for intercommuni- cation, which now obviously can be effected most quickly by aircraft. The officials who have left to sur- vey the route of the airway are Col. Birchall and Lieut. Col. Minchen. Vice Marshal Sefton Brancker is fol- lowing later. The first route will be a 2,400-mile jump from Kantara, Egypt, to Ka- rachi, India. It is planned to develop @ 10,000-mile chain linking up Singa- pore with Australia, all of which, it is hoped, may be ready for operation by next January. The routes will be flown by both government and private aircraft, which will carry mails and passen- gers on regular schedule, like the similar_route now operating between Cairo, Damascus and Bagdad. The first stages of the new route wiil be laid out within a_month, and it is hoped that the first fiight can be made in the late Fall with a triple- engined Rolls-Royce plane, ‘a new type now being constructed.

President Coolidge went back to his old_working schedule today, and, up early, he strolled about the White House for a few minutes and then hurried’ to his desk, arriving in the executive offices before 9 o'clock. The President’s entire morning was occupied by official calls. and the re- ception of severa] score visitors anx fous ® pay their respects. They were admitted to the executive offices short- ly after noon and were passed through the President's office in the usual manner, Mr. Coolidge greeting each with & handshake. Mrs. Coolidge has spent most of her first and second days back In Wash ington superintending the unpacking A thorough housekeeper, the First Lady is not content to trust these detalls entirely to her attend- ants. Yesterday afternfon she made her first general inspection of the newly decorated and renovated White House. Mrs. Colldge was said to have ex- pressed complete satisfaction with the new decorations. The main lobby now presents the soft quiet atmosphere of the true colonial style. The light blue and orange coloring that occu- pled the floors and ceflings, have com- pletely disappeared. In their stead the entire color scheme is one of white and colonial buff. Every vestige of the former French empire idea has | disappeared. On the second floor of the White | House the main changes consisted of | repapering. Mrs. Coolidge's room is | now papered in light blue. The Presi- dent's room, however, has a typical flowered paper such as might be found in the bedroom of any average Amer- jcan home. Mrs. Coolidge is said to have been particularly pleased with the cleanliness these changes left to the entire White House. Today Mrs. Coolidge called for her car early and set forth on a shopping tour.

There are small islands up the Potomac which this month are masses of large pink and white blos: topping stalks 5 and 6| feet high.

It has thrived well in the lower altitude of his garden. Holly Is Sexed Plant. The loose strife, quite common near the borders of ponds.

FEach stalk ended in a | cluster of from 15 to 20 buds, one of which opens each morning, fading during the heat of the day | Restored to Habitat. | This unexpected behavior led Mr. Kramer to study the history of the swamp mallow. He found that it originally was a dry-land flower, but that it gave all its strength to blos- soming, with the result that it had none left to fight the other growths, which sought to crowd it out. In the process of evolution it was driven into the moistest parts of the | swamps. Bringing it into the garden and keeping its bed free of weeds, he believes, simply is restoring it to its original habitat under much more fa- vorable conditions than it encountered centuries ago. He predicts that in the future 1t will have a wide vogue as | a garden fiower, since the stalks are very floriferous and easy to grow. Among other wild local shrubs which he has domesticated are: The fringe tree, which bears in May great clusters of white, sweet- scented, droopy blossoms which look very much like fringes of white lace. The buttonbush, plentiful in local marshes, which bears masses of fra- grant, white, button-shaped flowers. The wild spirea, crowned in Spring with long, tapering spikes of white. It is not a woody growth like the cultivated spirea, but a sort of half perennial. About half the growth dies each Winter and is replaced during the Summer, with the result that the shrub will Temain the same size for many years. Has Swamp Honeysuckle. ‘The swamp honeysuckle, related to the azalea and almost extinct in local swamps. It bears masses of very fragrant blossoms, which are sticky to the touch, like fly paper. The juneberry, a swamp growth 6 to 8 feet high, which is re- lated closely to the huckleberry. - It is covered with featherlike, white blossoms in Spring, after which the branches become loaded with wine- colored berries. This berry, Mr. Kramer says, probably is the most tasty of all wild fruits in this local- ity. It has a richer, more flavory taste than the blueberry. Few per- sons ever have tasted it, however. It is the greatest delicacy known to local bird life. The instant a berry ripens it is snapped off by some bird, 80 that the ripe fruit is a rare sight. Even in his garden Mr. Kramer can- not protect it. The beach plum, common along the coast from New England to the Carolinas. It is at home in very sandy soil. Mr. Kramer grew his specimen from seed. It seldom grows more than 5 or 6 feet high and starts branching almost from the ground, so that it would be a good hedge bush. It bears quantities of purple plums, which are excellent for canning, but have a slightly bitter taste when eaten raw. Rare Wild Geranium. The wild geranium, the most floriferous and the rarest in cultiva- tion of all Mr. Kramer's specimens. A single root taken from the woods has sent up a clump about a foot high and 2% feet in diameter. It bears clusters of 5 or 6 pink blossoms about an inch in diameter. The leaf is like that of a rose geranium, but the flower has very little similarity to that of the cultivated geranium. TL plant loves shady places. The sweet fern, an unusually fra- grant member of the fern family. It leaves its characteristic aroma on the clothing of those who brush against it in the woods.

The berries are produced by the female bushes and they will not appear unless there is a male bush in the neighborhood. His own experience is unusual. In the woods he dug up h a jackknife two tiny plants growing " side by side, about 2 inches high. He set them out in his | den and surrounded them with pine needles and oak leaves. The irst Summer one blassomed. The second Summer both blossomed, and the third Summer one of the bushes produced berries. Sex in holly piants, he says, can be determined only by an expert, and the females, as a rule, are by far the most common. Mr. Kramer has had unusual luck in domesticating the local wild cedars. requirement, he says, to get pienty of soil around the oots when they are dug up and to keep it there until they are safely in the garden.

By the Associated Press. WEST LAFFERTY, Ohlo, Septem- ber 12.—Public speaking, English com- position, English literature, psychol- ogy, modern labor problems, and the history of organized labor are the sub- jects being taught in a new workers’ college which opened in this village last Spring and was so successful that it was continued throughout the Sum- mer. There are now seven such colleges in Ohio, but here is located the only one in a small community, a mining settlement. The effectiveness of the work is expected to influence other communities and industries to adopt the idea. It is understood that during the next few months 15 new institu- tions of the kind are to be opened in Ohio. Cincinnati had the first college, founded in April, 1924. The six others are at Hamilton, Springfield, Colum- bus, Marion, Bucyrus and West Laf-. ferty. Toledo, Cleveland and Newark are among cities preparing to open workers’ colleges this Fall. They are fostered and directed by trade unionists, usually central labor bodies, which are endeavoring to teach wage earners the knowledge that will be most beneficial to them. The colleges are open to non-unionists as well. Propaganda is discouraged. Since the working classes are more familiar with labor halls, the colleges are generally conducted in them. The work is financed through fees from students and contributions from local unions. Crafts and’ trades are not taught, that work being left to vocational schools. The colleges have been indorsed by the national and State federations of labor, cooperating with the Workers’ Educational Bureau. i/ i + Millions for Reclamation.
