London Exhibifion Re-Creates
Sherlock's Baker Streef Home
By GAILE DUGAS
NEA Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK—(NEA)—Sherlock
Holmes, the famed detective in
the deerstalker hat, arrived in
Manhattan the other evening from
London.
With his friend and companion,
Dr. John Watson, he went straight
to his lodgings at 221-B Baker
street, and wouldn’t say whether
he was here on a case. He just
said his Baker street rooms looked
exactly as he had left them.
On closer inspection, 221-B
Baker street turned out to be the
Plaza Galleries on 59th street, but
that, as Holmes would say, is ele
mental, my dear Watson. Baker
street is inside, and it’s a com
pletely faithful and authentic re
production of the room where it
is always 1897.
2 W ®
The room has been brought to
this country by Adrian Conan
Doyle, son of Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, the writer who created
Holmes and finally had to kill him
off so he could return to his other
pursuits.
To a great many peopie ali over
the world, * Icrlock Holmes is an
actual person, not just a character
in fiction. Each year, Adrian
Conan Doyle gets frantic and
pathetic pleas for help, all of them
addressed to Holmes.
When the exhibit here opened,
an elrerly lady stopped in and
asked for the great detective.
Conan Doyle explained that
Holmes just wasn't around,
whereupon the lady grew indig- '
nant and red-faced. She knew
quite well he wag there, she said;
she’d seen his picture somewhere
recently.
As you stand at the railing,
look into the Baker Street study,
you can’t help feeling that Holmes
and Watson have just quit the
room—bound, perhaps, for Pad
dington Station in a hanson cab.
* * *
It’s a room of Victorian charm
and clutter, with Holmes’ arm
chair on one side of the fireplace
| and Watson’s on the other.
On a long deal table stands a
tray with half-empty teacups,
half eaten crumpets and napkins
just tossed down. lin the silver
butted dish are the bullets Holmes
has carelessly flung there (they
were taken from the body of a
man murdered in 1895), and on
the back of the door, hangs

“The farm labor situation
throughout the coumtry is becom
ing more acute and serious,” ac
cording to C. R. Schoby, President
of the American Dairy Association.}
Mr. Schoby, an lowa dairy farm
er, says growing shortages of
dairy farm wo‘}kers and the heavy
investment & dairy farm demands
today leads him to wonder if the
question “how much does a quart
of milk cost” may turn into “where
can we get a quart of milk?”
“Census figures show,” Mr.
Schoby declared, “that there were
about 1,320,000 fewer people work
ing on U. 8. farms in 1950 than in
1940,
“The decline of farm workers
was caused lurzelz by the decrease
in the number of farm operators
and family workers who are mem
bers of the operator’s family, re
sulting from the decrease in the
number of farms. There were ap
proximately 500,000 fewer hired
workers on farms in 1950 than in
1940, gponditum for hired labor

Holmes' deerstalker and Inver=
ness, together with Wr. Watson's
tall silk hat and respectable black
coat.
Beside the fireplace is the coal
scuttle where Holmes kept his
cigars; in one corner the acid
stained table at which he worked
out his experiments in chemistry
and next to it, the wax bust of
Holmes, draped about with .his
mouse - colored dressing - gown.
(The latter items figured heavily
in “The Empty House.”)
There is also the big desk at
which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
wrote the Holmes stories. One it,
is Homes famous magnifying glass.
There are varlous and sundry
other wonterful things in this
cosy room; the Persian slipper
holding Holmes' shag tobacco; a
harpoon like the one that killed
Black Peter; cigarettes from the
year 1897; the “agony columns”
of the London newspapers ready
and waiting for Holmes’ perusal.
The red velvet curtains are
drawn against the raw and in
clement weather of Baker Street;
offstage, there are sound effects of
horses’ hooves clip-clopping across
the cobbles.
The game is afoot.
As you leave the lodgings and
find yourself back on 59th Street
again, you’ll see a red car at the
curb, its sides lettered *Holmes
Electric Protection. Burglary
Service.”
A little modern for Sherlock,
perhaps, but you know all goes
well in Baker Street.
If you're vacationing by auto
mobile in another state, the Geor
gia State Patrol reminds you that
the welcome you receive isn’t a
license to violate the state’s traf
fic laws. Remember, other Geor
gia drivers will be judged by your
driving and careless or discourte
ous driving reflects badly on all
of us.
The Georgia State Patrol warns
vacationing drivers that they
should have their cars checked
mechanically before starting. A
car might operate properly at
slow speeds around town but sus
tained high speeds on the open
road can bring out unknown de
fects that can kill.
“The number of farms in the
United States in 1950 was 495,000
less than in 1945 and 713,000 less
than in 1940. The average size of
farms increased from 174.0 acres in
1940 to 1948 acres in 1946
and 2105 acres in 1950. The
percentage of farms operated by
tenants declined from 38.7 in 1940
to 31.7 in 1945 and to 26.7 in 1950.
“Displacement of about 3,500,000
American farm workers by 1970 as
a result of labor-saving devices
‘revolutionary in impact’ is fore
cast in & recent study made public
by a Senate committee.”
Mr. Schoby said that dairy farm
ers are using all possible mechani
cal devices to help them carry on
their 866 day a year job of milk
production. “
“Mass production of milk on the
dairy farm is not sufficient to take
up the loss of labor,” he added,
“and overcome gradual disappear
ance of the. family type farm. Dur
ing the five years from 1945 to
1950 there was a decline of 124,000
‘in farms of from 100 to 219 acres.”

JACKSON, Mich. July 21 (AP)
—An 18-year-old convict, John E,
Shiraef, was rescued by a South
ern Michigan prison guard Sunday
from fellow prisoners who admin
istered a severe beating after he
stabbed another inmate to death.
It wag the second outbreak of
violence at the prison since the
five-day million dollar riot
April. However, Warden William
Bannan said Sunday’s incident
involved no revolt against prison=
ers authority.
Follow prisoners chased Shiraef
into a cellblock and began beating
him after Harry Edward Moore,
21, fell mortally wounded in an
exercise yard.
Two weeks ago, one convict was
shot to death and two guards held
hostage for two hours before state
police quelled the outbreak. One
convict was killed by state police
gunfire in the April riot.
