Mr. and Mrs. Mike Knox have returned from a trip to" Iowa, visiting Waterloo juid Lights of New York by L. L. STEVENSON Many dramatic schools in New York are not advertised ^as such. In fact, they may be in an entirely different line of business. Yet they serve the same purpose. Edwin MacDonald is an instance of how that comes about. He can imitate six distinct Italian types with proper nuances and accent for each. He has accomplished that through frequent visits to Little Italy. There he gets pointers from an .elderly Neapolitan fruit peddler, a wellread and polished art dealer from Viareggfe), and a seventy-year-old wine taster from Genoa. Charles Martin, who often is on the same -program with MacDonald, spends much of his spare time associating with gangsters of various types. As a result, he can ideally portray 14 different types. Fortunately, he holds, none of those whom he simulates has yet recognized himself as a teacher. • • •* When Minerva Pious is cast in a Chinese role, she merely makes frequent and long visits to her laundryman. When Agnes Moorehead is to enact a French ingenue part, she goes to a little French dressmaking shop and chats about various matters meanwhile keeping her eyes and ears wide open. Orson Weils, Charles Cantor, Anne Elstner and numerous others get their coaching from those unaware that they are giving it. New York, with nts polygot population and many quaint neighborhoods, offers full opportunity for such study. Another advantage is that more often than not it is furt instead of work. • • • That the public is becoming more and more string-music conscious is the belief of Vincent Lope?. The piano-playing leader is a constant attendant of the opera and symphony concerts and thus gets his knowledge first hand. And so sure is he of it that he has adopted a new style for his band. "During the past season," said Lopez, "audiences seemed most enthusiastic when string music was being played. They juSt couldn't seem to get enough of it. To my mind this is a sure sign we are headed for a golden era of rich, tuneful and graceful music, music with a soul. "Returning prosperity is being reflected in musical demands. With people's pocketbooks no longer empty and life not so harsh, there's a definite trend toward more pleasant and more balanced music," • • * Rambling ri^Tit along from music to perambulators, it seems that baby carriages are now the only vehicles free to travel the streets of New York without coming into collision with the law, no matter how many shins they may bump. No horns, lights, brake tests or licenses are required for them. The ordinance says there must be lights on cart, tricycle, sled, kiddie car, scooter, go-cart, or other vehicle of any size or sort, but it doesn't mention baby buggies. That information came out in Traffic court during a hearing of an eighteen-year-old lad charged with riding a bicycle reckiessly. -He had collided with another bicycle on the Williamsbusg bridge -and that cost him $2. •» • • Baby buggies and babies--there's continuity. It seems that the Graham family in Yorkville had fixed it up that when thfe stork was about to arrive, the father-to-be or some other member of the family would rush out and pull the handle of the police signal box. Then an ambulance would come. Instead of the father, the aunt-to-be was on hand. She rushed out and pulled a lever. But she chose a red box instead of a green one and instead of an ambulance, there was a lot of fire apparatus. Onlyone policeman came. He" took thenjcpectant aunt to court on the charge of turning in a false fire alarm. She was in tears when she appeared before the judge. But after listening to the evidence, he forgave her and turned her loose. Meanwhile the baby had been born in Metropolitan hospital. •. • • True Story: Jascha Heifetz recently took up a-residence of the suburbs. Naturally many friends of the famous violinist make it a point to drop in for a chat. "Tell me, Jascha," asked one city dweller, "what have you missed most since you moved to the country?" "Trains," replied Heifetz. © Bell Syndicate.--WNU Senrlc*. Fish React to Music --London.--Minnows can distinguish between musical notes, according to Prof. K. Von Frisch, of Munich university. He believes he has solved the problem, long debated between anglers and biologists, of whether fish can hear. Moon Over Honolulu Gives Cupid a Hand Honolulu.--The Hawaiian moon <-^ver Waikiki beach is given part credit for the fact that Honolulu has a higher marriage rate per thousand of population than other parts of the United States. The latest statistics show Honolulu leading with an 11.80 rate, as compared with about 10 elsewhere. .'.T*. ;": V: Coarult the, WANT ADS F*ar and Rage Causes Hair to. Stand on End. When the hair bristles as an accompanin\ ent to fear and rage that part of the brain known as the hypothalamus is responsible, according to Dr. S. W. Ranson, head of the department of neurology of Northwestern university. The hypothalamus is about Jthe size of a bean and is located at almost the exact center of the head. Thus it is relatively inaccessible, but Drs. Ranson, H. W. Magoun and H. Kabat found a method by which they could explore it, notes a writer, in the Chicago Tribune. It was found, said Dr.* Ranson, that stimulation of the hypothalamus causes a rise in the blood pressure, rapid deep respiration, bristling hair, and dilation of th£ pupils of the eyes. Since reactions of this kind invariably accompany fear, rage, and other intense emotional excitement, Dr. Ranson concluded that the hypothalamus is the source of such emotional expression. Since a state of emotional excitement is just the reverse of the condition found in sleep. Dr. Ranson believes that the hypothalamus fur' nishes an emotional drive which is an important factor in maintaining the waking state. These conclusions have been supported, he said, bf experiments with monkeys. Where the hypothalamus has been damaged monkeys show a great decrease in emotional excitability and are drowsy. Wild monkeys aft*r such treatment become tame. Why Many Things Are Not What the Name Indicates j Everyone has seen peanuts, but how many realize that, scientifically speaking, they are hot nuts but beans? June bugs, moreover, are not bugs but May beetles. Almost everyone thinks that sealing wax is a kind of wax, but actually it has no wax in it, being composed entirely of shellac, Venice turpentine and cinnabar. Rice paper, too, which is used largely for making cigarets is not made of rice but from a pithy plant called "tung-tsau." Nearly everyone in Britain imagines that Westminster Abbey is an abbey--but it is not, observes a writer in London Tit-Bi,ts Magazine. Its real name is The Collegiate church of St. Peter. Panama hats are not made in Panama, but in Ecuador, and there is no bone in whalebone. It is really baleen, an elastic substance found in the mouth of the whale. Nor is there camel's hair in a camel's hair brush. It is made from the hair of squirrels. Also, the pineapple is neither an apple nor a pine, but, botanically speaking, a berry. . BILLS ORL U. S. HOUSE TE IN THE SENATE.-- Bills may originate in either house, but according to the Constitution, every bill for raising revenue must originate in the house of representatives. The senate may, however, propose or concur in amendments, as with other bills. After a bill passes both houses it is presented to the President. If he approves it, he signs it; if not, he returns it with his objections and the house in which it originated proceeds to reconsider the bill. If after such reconsideration, two-thirds of that house agrees to pass the bill, it is sent, together with the objections to the other house, by which it is considered, and if approved by two-thirds of that house it becomes a law. If any bill is not returned by the President within ten days, Sundays excepted, after it had been presented to him; it becomes law, the same as if- he had signed it, unless the adjournment of congress prevents its return, in which case it is not a law. JOHNSBURG Why Ducks Never Get There are several, reasons why ducks never get wet, according to a writer in the . Montreal Herald. For one thing, the feathers which cover the body of the duck are very thick and smooth. The feathers are so thick that the water does not come in contact with the air underneath the feathers, so that the skin is kept quite dry. Also there is a structure called a gland and the business of this gland is to make oil. The oil is used by the duck "to smear over its feathers and make them slippery. As oil and water will not mix, this layer of oil prevents the duck from getting wet. How Red Square Was So Named Is Plain Enough It is generally assumed that the "Red Square" in Moscow, on which the Kremlin fronts, was so named because red is the Communist color. Another explanation is that it took its name from the fact that it ran with blood during the executions under Ivan the Terrible. Dr. M. W. Pickard informs us, says the Kansas City Star, that both explanations are wrong. The Red Square was the ancient market square of Moscow, where fine fabrics were offered. In Russia, "red" is used in the sense of "beautiful." If you wish to compliment a young woman, you say she is a "red girl." So the Red Square was named because bi the beauty of the w^res displayed there for sale. Haw Hides Are Preserved ' The Smithsonian Institution says that the hides brought back by African explorers for their collections were prepared simply "by skinning the animal and salting the fresh hide thoroughly, especially around the edges. After all traces of blood are gone the hide is packed in salt in a tight barrel. It is then ready for shipment. While no liquid is put into the barrel, enough juices will be withdrawn from the hide by the salt to make more or less liquid in the barrel. No vermin of any kind will attack a hide so prepared. . Why Hands Reveal Facts Why do. some people have small hands and others large, clumsy hands? Small-handed people are generally quick and impulsive; they usually hate detail and are either a great success or a big failure. Large-handed people are much more patient, careful over detail; they are thoughtful and cautious and rarely act rashly. But whether your hands are small or large, they indicate the direction in which your success and happiness lie, according to a writer in London Tit-Bits Magazine. No two hands are exactly alike, neither are there any two lives exactly alike. Take any family you know. Some have travelled, some stayed at home; some become wealthy, others find poverty. Their histories are written on their hands. Why a Steel Ship Floats Although a solid lump of steel sinks because it is heavier than the amount of water it displaces, this steel will float when it is spread out into plates and made into a ship, because then it occupies a large Space which is more or less filled with air and light substances, and the whole ship is no heavier than the amount of water displaced by that part which is actually below the water line. Hew Broccoli Is Cooked To cook broccoli cut the burtfh into lengths suitable for serving, and cook it in a large quantity of salted water until tender. It is diffi- ; cult to give the length of time for choking because it depends entirely on the age of the broccoli. If the broccoli is cut at the proper time, the whole bunch can be cooked and eaten. Broccoli has long been popular in southern markets, but in the la$t few years it has been found widely in our own city markets.-- Alice M.
