Lar- combe, secretary and manager of the AN England Club. Miss Evelyn Colyer, the English international, approves of doffing stockings.

Coast Cities Also Know the Showboat FElizabeth City, N. C,, May 27.—(®) | —"Showboat's at the whart.’ This cry, which often has echoed through the streets of Mississippi and Ohio river towns and caused virtual suspension of business, is no novelty to the towns and cities along the Atlantic coast of Vir- ginia and North Carolina cape coun- ties and up and down Chesapeake Bay. | For there 1is the James Adams | Floating Theater company, which claims to be the only deep sea, salt water boat theater surviving nu- prises. It carries no advance man, seldom advertises and proudly boasts that it needs no publicity. The “Play House” carries 26 per- sons and seats seven hundred. “We give them the old-fashioned hokum-—all about mother love, faithful and unfaithful sweethearts, the lamp in the window, the villain, and all in a play full of smiles and tears, but mostly hilarity and fun,” says the owner. “They go for it strong. But it's not because these people are hicks or behind the times. Our small towns are post- ed on good music and shows and literature. They want clean shows and that's why they come to us.” Reporters Flunked, Not Discharged in Athens Athens, Ohio, May 27 (P—Re- porters on The Athens Messenger | cad of salaries, urnalism students at which has co-oper- ated with The Messenger to de- velop what is called the first in- stance wherein college journalism | classes do all their “laboratory | work” on a commercial daily news- paper. Many a school of journalism trains its students on a college daily, or has them edit a commer daily newspaper once or twice year. But at Athens the students put the paper out every day, cov- ering sports, general news and so- ciety; learning the reality of dead- lines and reading copy on a paper of 12,000 circulation. And if they don't make good they are not fired, but flunked. The news editor of The Messen- ger is assistant professor of jour- nalism at the university.
