MIAMI, Fla, December 11.—If Mrs. Herbert Hoover still wants the three dozen stone crabs she ordered for ship- ment Monday, they are here for her. Fishermen set out for the Florida Keys Saturday to fill Mrs. Hoover’s order. They expected to return Mon- day; but were forced to take shelter in a-key in the face of a northwester that whipped the waters for several days. Search partles were sent out for the men, but they returned safely yester- day, with the’ three dozen crabs. The fish market is awaiting further orders from the First Lady of the Land . ‘DEER’ AND ‘NIGHTINGALE’ ORGANIZE NAMES CLUB| | Members Having Montkers of Ani- mals Meet Near Zoo and Call Society “Noah's Ark.” BARCELONA, Spain (N.ANA).— Senor Clervo, (whose surname means “deer”), a well known art critic, and his friend, Don Santiago Rusinol (nightingale), & dramatist, once had a chat and got talking about animal names. In Spain it is awful to call a person any kind of an animal, even in fun, and Spaniards have a pecullar prejudice against calling animals by Christian names. Mr. Deer and Mr. Nightingale agreed that it would be a good plan for those unfortunates who got chaffed about their surnames to band together in "self-defense. They advertised their idea in a newspaper and so came into being the “Noah's Ark Club,” for Tigers, Goats, Pigs, Doves, Rabbits, Cows and Lions (or rather their Spanish equiva- lents) came flocking into the ark like anything. ‘The club’s members pride thamselves on their contempt for conventions and superstitions of all kinds. “They hold day for festivities, according to Spanish tradition, and their monthly banquets take place in a restaurant quite near the zoological gardens. On specially festive occasions the members make a triumphal tour of the zoo, with a band, each member taking a tasty offering to his namesake. ight, 1930. by the North American (CopyTIEht, ewepaper Alliance.)

VIENNA, Austria (N.AN.A).—PFranz Werfel's new play, “Reich Gottes in Boehmen” (“God's Realm in Bo- hemia”) has so many characters that nearly the whole company of the Burg- theater appears in it. The drama, for all its historical plot, is very modern in spirit. The action is laid in the last years of the Hussite ‘War (1420-36) and shows the down- fall of the Communist system ;built up in that period by the “Taborites.” Pro- kop the Great, the Hussite leader, fails in’his attempt at a compromise between the force of revolution and the ideal of pacifism. He cannot lead his policy of non-violence to victory. Idealism in politics falling to bits sooner or later is Werfel's idea and he finds the same tragedy throughout the ages.
