Brock Pemberton’s widely-discuss- ed comedy, ‘Strictly Dishonorable,” longest run play of Broadway's hit of the 1929-30 season, will be given at the Nixon Theatre, Pittsburgh, the week beginning Monday evening, November 10. The cast selected and directed in New York by Antoinette Parry and Mr. Pemberton, includes many not- ables of the stage and screen: Flo- belle Fairbanks, Lino Manzoni, Lee Baker, Ralph Locke, George Meeker, Jerome Daley, Guido Alexander and John Robb. An adroitly written comedy, with shrewd character drawings and the atmospheric touches of a Gotham speakeasy in the “wet 40's,” the play is now in its second year in New York, and, because of its deft handling in writing and direction, its wealth of alert and intelligent humor, intriguing romance and sprightly buoyancy, the comedy was last season unanimously selected by Gotham critics as “one of the year’s ten best plays’ was awarded the coveted Roi Cooper McGrue prize and has taken its place asa worthy and lasting contribution to the theatre. A romantic tenor of the operatic stage, an innocent but naively ad- venturous girl from Mississippi, an over-bearing and dictatorial lover from a small town, a judge who is given to friendly imbibing during ex-officio moments and a wise- cracking policeman give mainspring to the play’s action. The company to be seen here is enroute toan engagement in London. «Strictly Dishonorable” is the most cospicuous success in the long list of hits produced by Mr, Pemberton, a native of Kansas and graduate of the University of Kansas. Some Varieties of Insects Can Walk on Water Certain insects known as water skaters, skippers or striders move about on water as freely as other insects move on hard surfaces. Some spiders are able to do the same thing. It is the so-called “surface film” that provides the resisting surface neces- sary to support the welght of the in- gécts. The surface of a liquid acts very much as if it were covered with an elastic film like a thin rubber mem- brane. An ordinary sewing needle, if thoroughly dry, will float when laid carefully on the surface of water in a basin, notwithstanding the density of steel is about eight times greater than that of water. A thin aluminum disk will act in a similar manner. The needle bears down the surface of the water, yet does not break through it, because the weight of the needle fs not as great as the force exerted upon it by the tendency of the de- pressed liquid surface to straighten out. If the needle is wet it will sink pecause the water will rise around it instead of being depressed by it. On the other hand, if the needle is first dipped in oil it will float more readily. The grease prevents the wa- ter from wetting the needle much as oil prevents the feathers of a duck from getting wet. The feet and legs of insects that travel on the surface of water are covered thickly with minute hairs which retain a filling of air. This air depresses the surface film and acts like a coating of oil over which the water does not flow because it does not break the film. An insect with smooth legs and feet would puncture the film and be helpless on the surface of wa- ter. Only small creatures whose weight alone is not sufficient to rupture the surface film can be supported by this neans.—Pathfinder Magazine. Why Bureau Road Chief Urges Tree Planting Planting of suitable trees and shrubbery along all highways of the federal-aid system, where such growth can be maintained, should be regarded as a necessary step in the improve- ment of the system, says Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the bureau of public roads of the United States De yartment of Agriculture. “Too little attention has been given to the appearance of our highways, and in this respect our roads are in- ferior to those of Europe,” MacDon- ald said. “People seeking pleasure and recreation by travel are the greatest users of the highways, and to them a pleasing roadside means as much as a smooth surface and easy grades.” However, he says, the Department of Agriculture does not encourage the making of expenditures for the plant- ing of trees and shrubbery when to do so would mean the deferment of more necessary improvement, nor tloes it urge the employment of federal-aid funds if the states prefer to depen’ on their own revenues. Why Paint Is Important Although the location and style of architecture are, naturally, the first things planned by the prospective home builder, one of the most impor- tant factors in home construction is maint, and painting work. Not only does paint give the finish- ing touch of beauty, but its preserve tive quality is of vital significance. Most painting difficulties are found to be caused by moisture, not neces sarily on the surface, but within the wood itself. Consequently the strue- ture must be permitted to thorough- ly dry before the priming coat is ap- plied. If this coat is thin enough it will give permanent protection to the wood and, at the same time, allow the sun to draw the moisture to the sur face. The best procedure is to apply a priming coat as soon as weather con- ditions are favorable. Delay and ex- posure will cause weathering if the surfaces are long neglected. Why Fish Bite American Forests and Forest Life says that contentiousness, water tem- perature, the angler’s skill, tempting bait and sheer perversity as well as appetite cause fish to decide whether to bite or not to bite. The pugnacity of some species cause them to strike at objects that get in their way. Feed- ing is governed to a great extent by temperature changes, and it is well known that fish are more or less inac- tive when the water temperature is low, requiring little food at such times. During the winter months they take practically no food. Why Uncle Sam Studies Iron Industries, universities and techni cal schools, bureaus of the United States government, scientific organiza- tions and foreign agencies are aiding in the research in alloys of iron to keep America abreast of world prog: ress and Industry. Why Rubber Hose Is Used Rubber hose connections are used in the automobile cvoling system be- cause vibration and motion would cause leaks if metal unions were em- ployed. Flexibility is necessary. Why “Artesian” Wells Artesiun wells are so named from the province of Artois, in France. where one of the first flowing wells in that country was discovered. Why Gulls Face the Wind Sea gulls face the wind wher they fly because they can balance and steer better when tlying in that position. Odd Prescription That “Cured” African Native There are modernists even among the witch-doctors of Africa, to judge by the story told by a missionary on furlough about the native who was treated with powdered gramophone record mixed with water from a loco- motive—the engine water to make him move and the record dust to make him talk. In its own way the treat- ment is not illogical—and it embodies an obvious compliment to the white man’s capacity for “big ju-ju.” It is water that makes the engine move and the record which makes the gramophone talk—the only flaw fn the argument is that the patient was neither a phonograph nor a loco- motive. However, he recovered the use of his limbs and tongue—so sim- . ple faith must have once more proved its superiority to that nasty, know-all spirit, by failing to perceive the fal- lacy on which the treatment was based. One would like to know that witch- doctor's recipe for deafness. Prob- ably he gives his patients a strong {infusion of the telephone directory.— Manchester (Eng.) Guardian. St. Peter Held Founder of Westminster Abbey Two fishermen, one SO humble that pot even his name is known, the other the greatest of all, St. Peter himself, are responsible for the building of Westminster abbey, according te legend. One tradition says that the saint founded the original church on the is- land of Thorney, for the site was on an island formed by an arm of the river, but the popular version is that the first consecrated building was erected by Sebert, who founded the original St. Paul's cathedral. The night before the church was dedicated a poor fisherman was at work on the Surrey side of the river when St. Peter suddenly appeared. He persuaded the fisherman to ferry him over the Thames and consecrated the building, while a heavenly choir sang sweet music. The belief in this supernatural ap- pearance was So strong that it in- spired Edward the Confessor to begin the building standing today. Great Japanese Port Hiroshima, a city and seaport of Japan, capital of the central Nip- ponese government bearing its name, . is ideally situated on a small plain surrounded by hills, the bay being studded with islands. Next to Osaka, from which it is 190 miles by rail, and Hiogo, it is the most important com- mercial center in the inland sea. It has an area of about 3,000 square miles and a population of 1,500,000. It is famous through Japan for its proximity to the “Itaku-Ehima,” or “Island of Light,” which is dedicated to the goddess Bentin and is regarded as" one of the three wonders of Japan. The chief temple dates from the year 587 and the island, which is largely inhabited by priests and their attend- ants, is visited annually by thousands of pilgrims. The soil is never tilled, | go that all provisions have to be brought from surrounding districts. Inca Civilization There are few more colorful stories fn history than that of the Inca clv- : flization, with all of its strengths and shortcomings, which was wiped out by 1 th the Spanish conquerors. Writers have placed upon it a glamor which it did not deserve and on the other hand have failed to recognize the truly sub- stantial contributions made by these peaceful, intelligent mountain Indians : to human progress. In some respects they were far behind the white men who ruthlessly murdered them. In some respects they were far ahead. Unfortunately they left no written rec- ords. Everything to be learned about | them must be learned with ax, spade and pick. Macedonian Industries The United States chief import from Greece is, strange to say, Turkish to- pacco. Small-leaf tobacco of the Near East was raised in Macedonia when that region was still Turkish, but the production has been greatly increased with the coming of Armenian refugees. | These newcomers, many of whom were settled in Macedonia, knew all about raising tobacco, so their efforts have made Kavala a famous tobacco port. Refugees have also introduced the sllk-raising industry, as well as rug weaving and cigarette making. No Alpenstock for Her Mrs. Newrich was describing her travels to an envious audience, «And have you been in South Amer- | ica?” somebody inquired. “Many times,” said Mrs, Newrich, rather bored. “In fact, I know it from end to end.” “Then, of course, you went up the Amazon?” “No! As a matter of fact, I didn’t,” sald Mrs. Newrich, “but my husband went to the top. You know I never did care for climbing.”—Cincinnati | Christian Advocate. Keep It Numb One evening at the dinner table | Jerry's father was discussing business matters with Jerry's mother. Sud- denly he turned to Jerry. “What we've just been talking about is a secret,” he said. “Can you keep a secret, Jerry?” “Sure,” answered Jerry. “1 never told mother about you breaking her vase last week. did I?” Oregonians Trekked On When Mormons Stopped " On July 24, 1847, a caravan of im- migrants, then regarded as fanatics, “emerging from a canyon, looked out upon the Salt lake valley. “This is the place; drive on,” said - Brigham Young, their leader. : That event, which turned out to be historic, is commemorated today by faithful Mormons. Their achievements in the Interven- ing eighty-eight years constitute one of the marvels of western daring and doing, but the trek of the Mormon pioneers from the Missourl frontier to “Great Salt lake was comparatively easy when considered against the. earlier movement over the Oregop | «rail to the Pacific Northwest. ' When the Oregon pioneers reached the Rocky mountains they were yet to face the more difficult and dangerous half of the long journey. Yet to be traversed were the desert plains of southern Idaho, the canyons and steep ascents of the Blue mountains, the rugged and formidable cascades, and the deep forests that hemmed in the Williamette valley. The Mormons ended their trek In July; the Oregonians in November or December. The Mormon movement was in 1847; the Oregon trail had been well beaten by successive heavy migrations in 1848, 1844, 1845 and 1846.—Spokane Spokesman-Review. Impressive Scenes in Fijian National Dance The meke, or national dance of the Fijians, plays an important part in all ceremonies on the islands. As many as two hundred young natives, most gorgeously dressed, will take part in a meke, which may be described as a legend told in song and dance. Some- times it deals with a famous tribal battle of old. The dancers carry either spears or clubs, and go through many of the movements of the battle—the stealthy approach to the enemy’s lines, the hurly-bruly of the combat, and then the triumphant return when the warriors are greeted by their chiefs, their sages, and their women. For an hour or more, without the least in- terval, a meke will continue its way, every action explaining itself, every step most precisely executed. The leaders of the mekes are always particularly fine men, and they wear wonderful tappa robes with trains four to five yards long, which they manage with all the grace of a court lady.—Montreal Herald. “How I Removed My Goitre” Minister’s Wife Tells Experience 3 Letter Received Locally Mrs. F.
