With a switch located at each entrance to a room or hall you can switch on the light ahead of you and turn it out again on leaving regardless of which doorway is used. The second switoh controlling a single light is called a three-way switch, merely because of its technical con- struction, ' For the festive occasion there should be plenty of light and the natural source of this type of il- lumination is from a ceiling fix- ture. The trend away from the ceiling light which occurred for a time seema to have been caused principally by the fact that as ore : or entrance to the ball, per ] { from the kitchen or ji from the direction of dinarily used the fixture was equips ped with bare, unshaded bulbs, This glaring light even when con. siderably softened by the frosted bulb created a rather cold, une friendly atmosphere, and often was actually uncomfortable because of the eyestrain caused.by the glare.

Miss Galdys Crowley, the director, was warmly commend- ed for the splendid work she did here, while the Men's Organiza- tion of All Saints' Church, under whose auspices the comedy was staged, are deserving of no en of praise for their enterprise. The cast of the comedy was headed by Stanley Martin, who very cleverly interpreted the role of Aunty Lucia. About 100 local people took part, The programme each night open- ed with a special baby pageant, "Take Me Back to Baby Land," in which about 50 kiddies, ranging in ages from five to eight, took part in slumber attire, with Miss Lols McIntosh acting as reader The scene was pretty and this feature merited the applause it received. The first act opened with the Glee Club and members. of the cast in a galaxy of coustumes, They sang popular college songs, to new settings, after which there was a demonstration of college life stunts, The play proper dealt with the story of the "Home Coming", The sotting was a fraternity room, and the story revolved around the school anxiously waiting the arriv- al of an old mald, Aunt Lucla Wakefield who is worth fifty mil- lion dollars and who planned to give the college a new football stadium. In view of this fact she was to be made the honored guest at the home coming celebrations. She was the aunt of one of the co-eds. Betsy, (Mrs. Clarence Rice), Jerry Watson, (Stanley Mar- tin), one of the college boys with the help of his two room-mates, George and Dick, (Frank Webb and Earl Conboy), dressing up as an old maid for the entertainment of his fraternity brothers and while dressed in this outfit he is mis- taken by Prof. Gaddis and Dean Howard (C. Pascoe and Mrs, Frank Erskine) for the real Aunt Lucia, and Is unable to extricate himself from the delema, so he Is obliged to carry it through. Molly, (Mrs. John Sawdon), and Betsy, tell him all their love socrets, Arougd this character playing, the part of the fake Aunt Lucla, all the comical situations of the play developed. Prof, Gaddis, Mr. Collins, (W, J. H, Richardson) and the Big Butter and Egg Man, (Mr, Glass) all fell In love with Aunt Lucia and her fifty million dollars and tried to marry her, When Jerry found himself, playing the part of the old lady, he made love to the other boys' girls, enjoyed the pro- posals of the men which generally added to the comedy of the play. Dean Howard, the old maid teach- er, and Gaddis, the old bachelor professor, who have been lovers for thirty years, finally came to- gether again after the professor. In the final act, the real Lucla 'Wakefield of Florida, wires the nec- essary amount of money for the building of the stadium and Jerry wins back his girl, Ethelyn (Jean McConnell) who has stepped out with the college shiek. All in all this plot created many comical situ- ations, which were hilarious from start to finish, There were many specialty num- bers between the acts, which help- ed to brighten the programme. Aunt Lucia's Glee Club, and the Flapper's chorus were particularly good. While the vocal numbers by Mrs, Trueman were more than ap preciated. The chorus was well supported by the orchestra and pianist, the latter being Mrs. Os. borne.

Heath, of the United Kingdom Alliance for the Suppression of Liq- uor Traffic. In a pamphlet issued by Heath, containing the opinions of leading world athletes on the drinking of spirits, Wililam T, Tilden is quoted as saying: Bad for Tennis "It is certain injury to touch alco- holic drink in any form during play.
