BEET DATA IS GIVEN
Manager- of Jjarge .Couccro Ad vis
ing ReceiTers of Seed Here
The 15 , farmers'; who were .sup
plied; sugar beet seed from the Sa
lem Chamber of Commerce for
planting in " tracts of from one
quarter to one acre,' will receive
suggestions from "time to time
from J. W. Timp8on, manager of
the Utah-Idaho Sugar company at
JJellingham, Wash.
Referring to the early growth
, ct sugar beets, Mr. Timpson writes
. "We consider It good practice to
thin as early as possible, soon af
ter the plants take their fourth
Jeaf.l ' Our experience has demon
strated that best results wilt be
- obtained by. aiming to get from
25,000 to So, 000 plants to the
f acre. The Europeans tell us that
vthey aim "to get 50.Q00 plants in
order to get the maxipum quan;
' tity of sugar per ' acre."
Referring to the district around
Bellingham, Jir, Timpson writes:
. ''In this district we are planting
out raws from 20 to 22 Inches
. apart, and we shall undertake to
havei them thinned out from .10 to
12 Inches apart."
London's Lord Mayor
Yearns for Exercise
IXNDOT-rLike Gilbert and
Sullivan's operatic policeman, the
lord mayor of London finds his
official life "not a happy one."
Lord Mayor Sir Alfred Bower told,
: a meeting recently' It is impossible
for him to get fresh air and ex
ercise except on Sunday. Other
days In the week he works 15
hours a day, ; After expressing a
wish that there were a halfholiday
for lord mayors, Sir Alfred said:
"I begin work at 8:30 when
my letters are brought to me.
After j I, have dealt with them I
have to sit in court, but have also
i ; other magisterial duties which are
not public. Every afternoon I
have to preside over some meeting
or attend to official business and
every ; evening 1, have to attend a
dinner which I cannot eat. ;
'" "I am not' the man 1 was four
.months ago! before' I became lord
mayor." - 1 ! V ': "' ; ''"" '

Betty Ilirsch, director, of the
school for the blind founded dur
ing the world war by Germany's
famous oculist, Geheimrat ' Silex.
"The city of Cleveland,"! she
observes, "has found the ideal
solution of the problem, in "that
education for the blind children
is not carried on in special schools
for the blind, the blind pupils are
interspersed amongvlhe.. sighted
childjrfeti. !. Thiii f procedure is .,;of
thf realest benefit 'li'ot only to the
blind children, but to the others
as well, in that it accustoms them
to getting along with their less
fortunate fellow pupils and shows
them that a. blind student can do
fully as well-as a sighted one.
i "The feeling of human pride is
quite f as pronounced: with, "Blind
peopl as It ia with jthose 'enjoy
ing eye sight. Selfconfidence can
be encouraged among the blind
only if they feel that they are
being1 offered an opportunity ' to
show that they can hold their own
in competition with others. If the
blind j are separated from the
sighted, this confidence can never
be Instilled in them.! America is
absolutely: right, in i mixing the
blind
with the sighted.

REALISTIC PAINTINGS

WADE UNDER WAT
. RIO DE JANEIRO, Brail4-Pew
people here know that Zarh Prit
chard, the American painter of
submarine life, has been leading
a hermit's life in Brazil for two
montlis, painting for exhibiting at
Paris and Brussels, I the former
openin June 1. He hag been living
on Paqueta Island, in the mid die
of Rio's big harbor, an hour by
ferry from the city. A bouse vas
rented in an unfrequented par: of
the island, and a cbain and pad
lock placed on the garden; g&te.
The isand Is quiet enough to sa tis
fy his need for solitude. Altho igh
it contains a small Tillage,; there
are no street' cars, automobile!! or
telephones. ? t
. The submarine painter maKes
his sketches- on specially ' oiled
material while working under
water in a diving suit, generplly
at depths of about 23 feet. liere
the luminosity of the water is
equal to daylight above the pur
face. The artist says he forgets
about being under I water! a$ he
sketches until he is warned ;.by a
tug on his air hose, by the wajtch
ers overhead, that there Is dagger
in the neighborhood. Big fish do
not bother him, as they are wary
about the strange animal j wjhich
is always emitting' a stream of
bubles from, the top of itsJiead. '
Mr. Pritchard's painting are
impressionistic studies, shoving
fish which often have the appear
ance of birds flying through the.
air. Living, corals and sea p ants
of various tints appear to be rees
and forests; And dead coral forma
tion often resemble canyons f and
cathedrals. ' 1
Mr. Pritchard came to Brazil
to prepare for the exhibitionX'JIe

here is unsurpassed for drying bis

QuaKty Discovere3n Cbmedjr-Drama
' " " Presented By St. Joseph's Group
Small Crowd Attends Kxcellent Offering Lst XiBht ; Members of
fast Are Won Adapted to Their Parts
' By AUDRED BUNCH
A' real discovery In dramatics
was found last eyening at . St.
Joseph's auditorium when a cast
of nine persons presented "The
Green-Eyed Monster's Touch," a
ccmedy-drama in four acts. While
the feize of the audience was
noticeably small, the quality of the
drama' was surpassing in every
way. The entire cast took their
parts' in a way that will give a,
lasting reputation to St. Joseph's
dramatic club and which, for the
audience present, gave an evening
of unbroken delight.
The action, taking place in the
'sitting room" of the old fashioned
Winn homestead, in the state of
New5 York, Is engrossingly real and
replete with humor from the June
afternoon when the play opens to
the snowy evening in January
when it closes.
The characters, all nine, adapt
ed themselves in a really notable
manner to their parts, Mary Bud
row, as the plaintive widow with
her gliding eyes, her pension, and
her "symptoms" was as consistent
a character as .came onto the
stage. S. J. Gentzkow, as Josiah
Tizzard, the ever-present umbrella
mender, was a sprightly addition
to the cast. Mary Lebold as Ruth
Winn, Martin's daughter, was dis
tinctly the heroine of the evening,
and proved herself: ably competent
for the part.j- Charles Coffey as
Leonard Everett, a son of the soil,
played his part with commendable
sincerity, and Martin Win, the
father of Ruth, hi3 own, with- fi
delity. Harold' Vincent, the rival
from New York, was personified in
Gerald Suing, who played through
out acts two and three with
the necessary confidence and con
trst. Virginia McEntee as " Alma
Wayne, a friend from the city;
Gladys Redding as Aunt Melissa,
the virtual mother of Ruth, and
Gladys La Forest as LJndy Jane,
who "helps around," all added zest
