THE west coast has been having a season of Shakespeare,
offered by Fritz Leiber and his talented company. In
stead of confining the offerings to the more popular "Romeo
and Juliet" or "As You Like It" Mr. Leiber tackled the heavy
tragedies: "Hamlet", "Macbeth" and "King Lear." Thfrlast
mentioned is the very acme of tragedy, filial ingratitude;
and is so soul-wrenching that it is rarely attempted. In fact
King Lear is put down by many critics as a play not to be at
tempted on the stage. However the performance bythe Lei
ber players with Mr. Leiber himself in the title role, which
was given Thursday night at Corvallis, was genuinely suc
cessful. The one figure, of Lear dominates the whole play and

The Corvallis Gazette-Times observes that even in that
educational center the response to the Shakespeare produc
tion was inadequate, the theatre only two-thirds filled.
Hereafter the editor concludes, "we will rise to such great
dramatic heights as Will Rogers and Mickey Mouse". Salem,
however, did hot even make the attempt to have the Leiber
players. Shakespeare i3 immortal; but apparently not now

Derformance as written bv Editor Trrtralls in tht CUT-
I "In an hour and a halt spent with Mr. Leiber yesterday aft
ernoon be expressed the belief that in Lear, Shakespeare reaches
the supreme height of his dramatic achievements. That, we be
lieve, is the opinion of most commentators too. It is also true that
most actors hesitate to attempt Lear because of its great diffi
culty of interpretation. In LeiberShakespeare has found an art
ist who ,does Lear justice as pertraps no other man, at least
none living, has done. And thru it: all, the subllmest author
of all time is dominant. We mean by that, that in spite of the
great admiration one has for the actors, in spite of grandeur of
. the story, the listener is constantly reminded of the beauty that
exists in the lines even though they were spoken by a novice.
When spoken by a Leiber, all their highlights are brought out
, even as an artist can make you see things In a picture that your
inexperienced eye would never notice. ,
"In this play Is to be found some of the subllmest laneuare
la literature. The fiery passages of Dante and other famous
writers pale into insignificance beside the fierce Imprecations
, of Lear. When Lear invokes .his maledictions on Goneril, we
.heard the man behind as in awesome tones exclaim involun--tartly,
My what a curse!? The awful Titanic strength of the
lines and the dramatic situations are aided by the mighty forces
of nature themselves when Lear, Kent and Edgar display the
wrecks ge of their lives amidst the fury of the storm, so empha
sized by Leiber's sublime acting that one feels as though the
very universe itself were about to crash in- sympathy with the
destruction of Lear's kingdom and the institution of the family
as exhibited by the treachery of the daughters of Lear and the
bastard son of Kent. The terrific human nassion in the hert nf
these outcasts is symbolized by Shakespeare In the tempest and
the storm which he so often uses as an accompaniment for dis
aster," MMIWaaBBaa-.BBaawBBnaHS

Health
By Royal S. Copeland, M.D.
PROPER GUIDANCE and training
of young children Is essential to the
development of proper health habits.
Good health habits are the, funda
mentals of nor

comfort. But as a rule the majority
of young victims can trace this dis
order, to faulty habits and lack of
training In early childhood.
Habits established during Infancy
and early childhood have an impor
tant bearing upon the health of the
Individual in later life. The child
who. has regular habits of eating,
sleeping and elimination has a defi
nite advantage over other la for
tunate children.
A Bearing on Future Healta
At the age of two years every child
should be able to help himself. A
good plan is to set aside a definite
time each day for elimination.. If
this Is done the habit of regularity
win soon be established. The prefer
able time is after breakfast, but an
other hour more suitable may be
chosen.
The very young child who has
trouble in elimination may be aided
by the use of a glycerin suppository.
This should be Inserted just before
the child visits the bathroom. The
suppository should be well Inserted
and kept in place by pressing the
buttocks together for two or three
minutes. This will allow the sup
pository to become dissolved and will
stimulate movement
Some young mothers keep the child
in the bathroom fcr twenty to thir
ty minutes. This is too long and is
not advised. Never keep the child
sitting longer than ten mlnutea.
Failure of elimination may be due
to some constitutional ailment or
minor disorder. This can be deter
mined by the doctor. Above all, re
frain from the use of drastic cathar
tics and pills.
Good food habits, regularity In
meals, sleep and resi, will protect the
child from many chronic disorders of
later Ufa. Never overlook the neces
sity of good habit formatton.

that the murderers be punished.

McKay did not, and more severe

with no chance of escape to the

he did come back because he was in

friendship might have meant. It
wasn't easy to pluck your mind
from a dream and set it down fiat
open the earth ; nor was Harrow an
easy man to dislike, no matter how
much yon wanted to. Kay shragged,
trying to change the coarse of her
thoughts, and reflected that by to
morrow, maybe the Commander
would not be lying there arainst the
blue of the river, the green of the
shore, to mock her. .
And then it occurred to her that
Pete might even at the moment be
in real danger from Harrow. She
harried downstairs and went to the
telephone, intending to call the chief
of police, whom ahe knew slightly,
to assure him that whatever charge
might be brought against Pete
would be groundless and conceived

surprised to see her.
"Pete," she sstd, "you'd better

Pete laughed. MI know: I know.
Harrow was here. He tried in his
nice polite wsy to let me know that
if I let my shadow fall on his path
there might be a hole in it. It's the
baloney. Hay. Somebody's seared
him and he's suspicious of every-
ooay. lie lust picked on me because
he knows how I feel about you. His
conscience probably."
"It's serious, Pete. Dont Joke

Don t be suly. Me s trying to
scare me because he thinks I might
bother him about you."
No. you're wrong, she insisted
desperately. "Try to understand
me, Pete. I've left the yacht; I'm
through with him."
Pete' cocked his head and studied
her with surprise. i-
She nodded vigorously. "I have."
she insisted. "Bat he's after you.
He doesnt mean to do yon any
harm, bat he's going to have you
thrown in jail until he's well out of
town. He thinks you're partly re
sponsible for this plot against him
or whatever it is. Dont yon see?"
"I'm afraid I dont," Pete ad-
nutted ouietly. "What could he
hnave me thrown in jail for? Breath

"That's lost it. For nothing.
He's going to make some charge
against you, or have somebody make
one. I don't know.. All I know is
that he's going to do it, merely be
cause he's been annoyed so much
by these men, whoever they are,
and you re tne only one he suspects
that he can deal with."
So that's it?" Pete began to
smile, a rather hard unpleasant
smile that wss not natural for the
Pete whom Kay had knownr
"Pete why dont yon go back to
Mew Orleans tonight? Or any
where: only dont stay here and let
him do that. Even if you've done
nothing, being in jail doesnt help
