PRACTICAL ADVICE GIVEN Lady Gregory, Irish dramatist and with Yeats the founder of the Irish National theater, expressed the utmost confidence in the future of | fi the American drama and urged Drama league members to begin at once to found the Amerioan National theater. The distinguished woman lectured at the Brandeis the- ater Thursday afternoon. “I believe you Americans will have your national theater,” asserted Lady Gregory. ‘‘There is such a rush in your life, something looking for | expression and the desire for help- fulness is so strong with you. “As Bergson sald, ‘The American spirit 18 so idealistic, 80 profoundly sentimental, and you are so curious about the inside f things.' “People say to me, ‘But we are a new country. We have not the rich folklore ot Ireland to draw upon.' ng Work Here. a still greater Influence, the emotion of the future palpitating be- fore you. You have such exciting work here. All the nations mix here. Your work s to digest, as it were, all the nations. This you will do either by natural assimilation, by the crash of a great war or the welding together through a great literature very likely drama. “How will you have a national theater? Just by starting it; knowledge ls not necessary. There was no one more ignor- ant than I when I started the Irish Na- tional theater. “Here is some practical advice: Begin with a small theater, with a small, but trained company. “Avold expensive productions. Man- agers are often obliged to put on elaborate productions to please the largest number, but that class hasn't always the best taste. Expensive scemery is a mistake, because you can't keep up with the mov- ing pictures. Maintain High Standard. “Here is where the moving plctures will benefit the theater in the end. They will distinguish between the audience that wishes to hear and the audience that wishes to see. “Shut out foreign pilays and players. It will encourage your own school of dra- matists and you will find a strong affin- ity of characters in your own surround- ings. Maintain a high standard. You won't succeed if you think of the theater an amusement. “A national theater requires an endow- ment, though not a permanent one. Let tht American millionaire take the place of the Italian noblemen of the Renals- sance, whose pride in their eities brought many treasures to beautify thelr sur- roundings. Lady Gregory's talk was Interspersed with humorous accounts of the difficulties of establishing the Irish theater. The at~ tractive personality of the wspeaker, coupled with her simple attire and quaint flowing lace cap, entirely won her audi- ence, which packed the theater. Miss Kate A. McHugh, president of the Drama league, introduced Lady Gregory. Grows Big Plants in Bacterialized Peat (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) LONDON, Oct. 2.—Jack's celebrated |30 bean stalk is likely to be rivaled by Prof. W. B. Bottomley, who has aston- ished agriculturists here with plants grown in peat treated with bacteria. He believes that the same process can be applied to wheat growing as well. Prof. Bottomley of King's college in the Strand, has been conducting his experiments on the roof of his college bullding in the very heart of London. The method by which he doubles and trebles the size of plants and their fruit was the result of a long line of experi- ments. He started inoculating the soll with & culture of bacteria obtained from the root of leguminous plants. Soil so treated, it was found, greatly increased the nitrogenous matter in the earth and produced more nodules on the roots. Peat was found to be the best medium for the bacteria. From eighteen plants fed on the bao- terialized peat Prof, Bottomley cut sev- enty-two cucumbers weighing a pound each after a twenty days’' growth. Six- teen Dounds of tomatoes were taken from one vine. “There are thousands of acres of peat in Ireland which could by bacterial treatment be converted into a rich ma- nure and at least double the productive- ness of the soll,” sald the professor. “Incidentally, it would give Ireland a new industry, for its practically inex- haustible supplies of peat would provide all that is required for the rest of the United Kingdom." The government has made a grant for continuing the experiments. DESERTIONS FROM JAP ARMY SHOW LARGE INCREASE (Correspondence of the Associated Press.)

Out of the total, 28 soldlers were brought before the military court and punished, while 68 deserters voluntarily surren- dered before the three days’ grace had expired. ‘The Increase of suicide among desert. ers is believed to be due to the reduction of days of grace during the war from six to three days, the deserter sometimes preferring to kill himself than face the shame of court-martial. Deserters who surrender before the three days expire are restored to the service with a light admonition. If they delay their return they become fugitives and are peremptorily punished on their arrest by the military court.
