By MARK BARRON
NEW YORK.—The summer farce season is upon
us.
Every year as the first warm evenings drop upon
Broadway there beging a menu of rushing, some
times funny farces, usually concerned with an im
possible situation in a Long Island drawing room.
The first of the summer farces this year is dif
ferent., The drawing room isn't in Long Island; st
is in Larchmont. It is a comedy called “Let and
Sub-Let,” from the pen of Martha Stanley.
In “Let and Sub-Let” the pilgrims to the Bilt
more theatre are introduced to Edward Kfng. a
dazed (aren’t we all?) writer, and William Mer
ritt, his English and affable friend.
These two bachelors have just leased the Blair
country estate and are there waiting for' the ar
rival of King's 18. year-old niece, whom he has
never seen, (Please hegr with us a moment before
guessing the remainder of the plot).
However, the heiress of the Blair family, a pert
voung thing of 18, decides to remain at the family
home because she is enamored of a neighbor boy,
Charlie Morse, a wild young blade.
The plot moves along when Miss Blair decides
io impersonate the unseen niece, although this
leaves the arriving niece to be handled. Charlie
Morse attends to this pleasant duty. %
Soo, what happens? Miss Blair falls in love with
the uncle who doesn’'t quite know what it is all
about, and voung Charlie Morse transfers his
affections to the rea! niece. It sounds very good,
but doesn’t go anywhere after the first act. The
cast helps mightily, and Dorthea Chard, as the
Rlair heiress, proves herself an apt, engaging com.
edienne .
George M. Cohan is in town again, so it fol.
lows that evervthing is all right with the theater.
Somehow all this lamenting about what’s wrong
with show business when Cohan is in the neigh
borhood.
He is doubly welcome this time for he comes
with a revival of one of his most famous roles.
This is the Vagabond in “The Tavern,” which first
came into existence some ten years ago With
Arnold Daly in the principal part.
“The Tavern” continnes to be the same humor
ous, satirical travesty that it was when seen just
after the war. It is a superb burlesque on conven
tional mystery plays. Its complicated plot is too
nguch so to describe, but one may remember it as
the doings of a stormy, evil night in the roadside
inn run by Zacheus Freeman.
(Cohan i= the old master again in his role,
and he plays it with an exuberanse and gay spirit.
The surrounding cast is highly efficient. Epecially
fortunate is the round-eyed Joseph Allen as the
bewildered, twitching hired man. Here is a char.
acter t.hat will not‘ be forgotten soon, for who can
forget his frantic: “What's all the shootin’ for?”
THIS REJUVENATION Y
By HAZEL REAVIS v
PARlS.—There is a lot of discussion going on
* ' here over coffee cups and cocktails as to where
women and towns whose faces give away their
age should have them done over.
Crammatically and psychologically Paris is fem
inine. And,a flapper at heart.
And just like a lot of other women, she is having
her face done aver with the usual result that some
of her best friends hardly recognize her.
H. L. Mencken declares that the most frivolous
. of cities has forgotten how to smile and can only
grimace now. .
Miss Mary Garden is' another frequent visitor
and staunch admirer who is dubious about the re.
juvenated face of Paris. The few remaining eigh
teenth century buildings tucked away in the ‘,Lleart
of the city hurt her feelings.
“They look like refined old ladies sitting on
the edge of their chairs at a cocktail party,” the
- opera singer said.
There are blocks and blocks in the heart of
town where not one of the beautiful old Louis XVI
buidings remains to remind modern that life was
once sedate and society rode in carriages instead of
limousines.
Light colored slick fronted buildings with ter
’ raced upper stories have replaced the old gray
" stones with discreet shutters.
g 'Eyerywhere the wrackers are at work tearing
ge Jown the old to substitute something modern.
L In a few of the finest shopping streets, business
men have organized to conserve what is left of the
_ old personality.
© The government has stepped in aso to save some
b of the most beautiful old squares, notably the Place
Vendome and the Place Bourbon opposite the
Senate.
&!‘ The facades of the buildings in both places must
'~ 'be conserved even if the buildings behind are re.
constructed, as they have been in several instances.
In the Rue de la Paix snobs of the shopping
word were incensed when an American plumbing
/i, concern rented a shop which they immediately con.
vk verted into a plate glass showroom.

RED AND BLACK MAKES GOOD
. DIAMOND SHOWING
/| With the wind-up of the 1929-30 ath
.lletie season, it is interesting to note that
|the University of Georgia enjoved what is
.iregarded as its most successful year, 4
[total of sixty-two games being played in
|the major sports field—football, baseball,
basketball and track—of which forty-two
resulted in victory and twenty in defeaf.
While football appears to be rapidiy
becoming the favorite college sport, the
University of Georgia is nevertheless
maintaining its prestige on the baseball
diamond, and under the guidance of
Coach Bill White hung up a most credit
able record during the season just closed. |
In baseball, Georgia won fifteen games
and lost eight, scoring a total of 155
points while its opponents scored only 98
points; and in the three games with Geor- |
gia Tech the Red and Black was the vie-|
tor in every contest. |
Coach White’s record this vear repre- |
sents a splendid piece of work, and enti- |
tles him to every encouragement in get- |
ting together a winning team for next |
yvear. |
GEORGIA NEEDS STRICTER
TRAFFIC LAWS
! So far, this state has not adopted strin
'gent law's.for the control of traffic or for
\the qualifications of drivers of automo
ibiles. In wmany states examinations are
requl_red before the issuance of licenses,
and insurance required for the protection
of the careful driver and pedestrians. The
‘New York law provides for revoking and
isuspendmg licenses of reckless drivers
,and beforg they can be re-licensed they
‘must provide proof of their ability to sat
;lsfy. damages that may accrue from future
?9ccxdents either by cash depeosit, bond dr
insurance policy. :
In Georgia, many of the municipalities
have enacted ordinances that are rigid
and in most instances, these ordinances
are enforced. The state law is ineffective
and without sufficient teeth to provide
protection against the increased traffic
over the highways of the state.
Maryland is the banner state of the
country on auto law enforcement. During
the present vear, the officers of that state
have suspendéd the licenses of 994 driv
ers, revoked 761, and refused license ap
plications from 1,262 for such offenses as
drunken driving, failing to stop after ac
cidents and driving at a high rate of
speed.
Athens has splendid traffic regulations
which are enforced by the police depari
ment in a most satisfactory manner. How
ever, increased traffic is noticeable dail.v,l
and before many months, more stringent
ordinances will be necessary in order to
protect the autoists as well as pedes
trians.
GOING AFTER CONVENTIONS
The Chamber of Commerce, through its
Convention Committee, has succeeded in
securing the Rotary and Elks conventions
to meet in this city next year.
Conventions are worth much to a com
munity; they are advertisers, besides they
bring much money into a town or city that
otherwise would not enter the commercial
channels of the local communities. Less
than a decade ago, Athens was known as
the “Convention City” of Georgia. For
some reason or other, during the last few
years, our people have not sought con
ventions. However, we are gratified over
the determination of the Convention Com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce, to
make an effort to secure a large number
to meet here next year. .
Every convention secured for Athens
increases her assets and adds that ‘much
to.her growth and development,, The
committee is to be congratulated on its
good work in securing the Rotarians and
Elks. We believe that with co-operation
on the part of the people and the mem
bers of the local lodge of Odd Fellows,
the Grand Lodge can be persuaded to
meet here next vear. This organization
has a delegate membership of about two
thousand. This order has met in Athens
on several occasions, and with the proper
effort put forward, Athens would stand a
splendid chance of securing the conven
tion for its meeting place next year.
IMPROPERLY ADDRESSED LETTERS
The postoffice department has issued a
proclamation warning the public against
illegible or test address letters. Such mail
matter will be promptly forwarded to the
dead-letter office without any effort to
trace or work out the destination of the
addressed.
It has been a practice by . people to
mail letters with marks, signs and other
figures of a freakish character in order
to see if the postal clerks and postmasters
could work out the proper address. This
practiege has cost the government many
thousands of dollars, besides trouble and
annoyance. With the issuance of the or
der, this charaeter of pastime on the
part of the joker, no doubt, will cease.
The action of the postal authorities
was wise and timely. Such a policy
should have been adopted by the postof
fice department long ago. It is said that
millions of letters of this character find
their way into the mails every vear. Now
that a stop order has been issued, postal
and postoffice clerks will be saved much
worry and vexation from the acts of the
practical joker.
And now some of ‘the wiseacres are
trying to make it appear that Mayor Wal
ker, of New York, advised Police Com
missioner Whalen t 6 resign on account of
the Commissioner overshadowing his
popularity. We do not believe that Jimmy
Walker is guilty of any such conduct. He
is too big and broad-minded a man for
any such petty jealousies.

I BY HUGH ROWE |
B. S. Miller, president of
the Board of Trustees, of the
Georgia State Teachers Col
lege, and ex-officio truste eof
! the ‘University of Georgia is in
the city. -
He came over from his home in
Columbus to preside over the an
nual meeting of the trustees of the
Georgia State Teachers College
which is now in session. Mr. Mil-
Ter is one of Georgia’s most out
standing ! lawyers and prominently
identified in all movements for the
betterment of the state. He has
been a member of the board for
nearly aiquarter of a century, and
during ‘the time he has rendered
valuable service to that institu
tion, 3
The college orchestra, or
ganized and directed by Miss
Leeds, is a credit to the Geor
gia State Teachers College.
This orchestra furnished the
music for the commencement
sermon, :
The young ladies composing the
orchestra have advanced rapidly
during the past session of the col
lege, much to the eredit of the di
rector, Miss Leeds. This orchestra
was heard at a numher of the
exercises during commeneement
week which was enjoyed and ap
preciated by not only the mem
bers of the student bodv, but by
all those who were so fortunate as
to attend.
| Tomorrow will be Com
mencement Day at that col
~ lege — haccalaureate address
and graduation exercises. The
~ people of Athens should show
their interests in these exer
cises by attending.
Under the able direction of
President Pound, the college has
enjoyed one of the most successful
sessions during the past year. He
is an educator and executive of
rare ability which has brought to
the college a reputation for a note
worthy standing among the educa
tional institutions of the south.
Already every room in the various
dormitories have been assigned for
the opening session in September.
It is to be hoped that the legisla
ture, at its 1931 session will ap
propriate sufficient funds for the
building of dormitories that will:
accommodate at least a thousand
additional students. Hundreds are
turned away each year for the lack
of room.

Guessing contests are sel
dom held in this city. How
ever, the fad or practice used
to be guite common here—that
was when people were not as
busy as they are now. Out in
Kansas, guessing contests
seem to be the rage, judging
from the following news item
appearing in the Lyons, Kas,
News:
“A. C. Kinderdick was awarded
a new straw hat today by the
George Lantz store for the closest
guess in an interesting contest
which has been going on at the
store since Tuesday. A 200-pound
cake of ice into which had been
frozen a straw hat was placed in a
Lantz display winndow and every
one was invited to kuess on' how
l6ng it would require to melt. Kin
derdick’s guess was withing three
minutes of correct. He predlcte.d
69 hours and 23 minutes and 1t
melted in 69 hours and 26 min
utes, finishing up at 11:15 o’clock
this forenoon. Frank Mueldener
guessed within six minutes of the
actual time. More than 200 per
sons registered guesses.”

BURGLARIES AND
ROBBERIES SAID TO
BE ON INCREASE
~ Figures ’released by insurance
companies writing a large volume
of bur%lary and robbery insuyr
ance indicate that burglaries, rob
beries and holdups are much more
frequent than a vear ago. Accord
ing to Lipscomb-Dearing, Hutch
ins, Inc., agents of the Hartford
Accident and Indemnity Company,
that company received sixty more
burglary claims during the month
of April of this year than a year
ago, and four times as many bank
robbery and burglary eclaims dur
ing the first quarter of 1930 than
in the same period of 1929,
- Banks in small towns and cities
up to 25,000 nopulation have been
the chief vietims of the recent
hold-ups. and Ohio, Wisconsin,
lowa, Illinois and Minnesota have
been the greatest sufferers. The
bandits usually work in pairs and
seem to meet no resistance or to
no dig,iculties in making a geta
way. Payamster holdups, residence
burglaries and thefts of merchan
dise are also reported to show an
alarming increase.
No matter how severe,
you can always have
immediate relief:
