“STRICTLY DISHONORABLE”
IN PITTSBURGH NEXT WEEK.
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.

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.
