kind's deepu perplexities and miseries
gtrid niotits is the nmore gemneral thlca-
tiial sittuationl, front-mankind's petty
zontelits of relative glee contives to
delude his lt'ss meditative critics. The
lastiwisht to laugh riot with their syin-
patlieti c antd ituders tamnding ininds,
butt with their jaws. When they speakI
otf humor, they speak of externmal, notj
inter'nal, humor. They fail to reflect,
that God often swathe' the slapstickI
iwith which I-Ic rules the universe and
directs time movements and destiny of'j
mortal man in black crepe.
"Tire critics here, as is their curs-I
toni, at-e sinpiy deluded by labels.
Call a play a tragedy and they will
no miore appreciate the devastating
iroic humoar that, like a critical eel,
tudulates beneath time surface, thanj
they will detect the tragedy that un-
duliates beneath the surface of some~
such comedy as one of Schnitzler's
or Piranrdello.". ...This school of crit-
ics "elects to be oblivious to such
humorous undertones of tragedy and
to center its attention wholly upon
the grim misery that proceeds from
those undertones. It sees the death4
of 1-lamlet, ibut not Ilamlet's anteced-
emt skeptical humor before a world
ivhose jig-sa. v puzzlemnakers mock of
his efforts to solve it."
PROSPECTS
Whoever writes the drama columnt
for' "Time" has gathered a consider-j
able column of data on plays andI
1Ilayem's for the new season. HeI says
that sonmc three hundred plays have
been proposed for production betweent
now and next April and that perhaps
oneo hundred and fifty of these will
reach Manhattan.j
No one person has gotten much of
a look at this mass; but it will prob-
ably produce the usual percentage
of show-board comedy. However, at
this early moment it is simpler to
judge the chances by the plays which
prominent players choose to act in.
Mrs. Fiske will tour mostly universi-
ties with Isben's "Ghosts."

The General Electric Comi-

had 37,716 stockholders, of
whomn 45 per cent were

ber of common shares held

present activities, G-E is un-
selfishly dedicated to the
cause of electrical progress.

A 70,000 horsepower hydro-electzric unit recently installed at
Niagara Falls utilizes the same amount of water as seven
former 5,000-horsepower units, yet does the work of fourteen
such units. And it saves 700,000 tons of coal yearly for the
nation.
As more and still more uses are found for electricity, larger
and more economical 'generator's are installed. At the power
plant, as well as at the consumer's end, important changes and
startling developnmts. have steadily reduced the cost of
electricity for' light, power, and heat.
And wherever electricity has blazed its trail-in towns, cities,
industrial centers, and rural communities-comfort and progress
have come to stay.
Generating and distributing electricity concern the technical
student. But electricity's application in the betterment of
industry, the pr'ofessions, aInd hon-me life concerns every edu-
cated person. Cheap electricity means mny startling achieve-
ments today, but countless and unbelievable possibilities
tomnorrow.
