Well, Just as I was sorter grinning a kind of a satUfied grin, why 1 get this: Its from a lady who signs herself , daughter of a Southerner, from St Peterabu'g. Florida. "When one who U all southern goes to the theatre to see yon play In a supposedly southern play, a story depleting the old South, and comes out of that theatre resolved never to see you play again, what Is wrong? Judge Priest Is far, very far, from being a true picture of the South of that period that It depicts (or any other period). Our feelings are hurt That you should be so misled as to think you were Interpreting a southern Jourist "If Mr. Irvln Cobb wrote that story as It was presented, then Mr. Cobb Is not a true southerner. The negroes kept, and still do, their places as servants, respectful and obedient, never appearing In public except In caps and aprons (In other words uniforms); the women with clean dresses, caps and aprons, the men wearing a white coat, all the time keeping a respectful silence. The South of that day was known for Its culture, and I know not In history of a southern Jourist manifesting so great Ignorance as Judge Priest manifested. "You played the part excellently, but you did not understand the South, and only southern men, and southern women should play the parts portraying life In the "Old South" as they only understand the South. Judge Priest's sister-in-lawas also a travesty, a woman who held the social position of the sister in law of Judge Priest was usually a gentle refined woman of understanding. Even though she were haughty, she would always be gentle. Us a pity those who do not know anything about the "Old South" should assign you to a part that Is destined to ruin you with the southern people. "Should you live In the South among real genuine southern people you would agree with me, I know. There are many In the South who will continue to enjoy you In the pictures, who will understand that you have been misled as to the South. But something should be done to redeem that false picture of the South. 1 should suggest that the play be presented again with a cast of all southerners, then there would be a different Interpretation. "We like you, Mr. Rogers, but we th!nk you have the wrong opinion of us. Sincerely yours , daughter of a Southerner, St. Petersburg, Fla." Now there Is lots of ways M treat that. I could start In by kidding about It. Rut Its a lovely letter, its printed word for word, with the deletion of one of two rather flattering personal Illusions to me. And the letter deserves 1 think an answer In the same spirit as meant. 1 myself would like to see It played by real Southerners. 1 was raised In the Indian Territory.

Along with excessive drouth, 1934 brought an unusual number of "dry" thunderstorms In the western states, starting hundreds of lightning fires In the forests. Following the Btorms, drying winds whipped the glowing snags into flaming torches which spread the flames far and wide. A total of 9,333 fires broke out In the national forests up to September 10 this year, compared with 7,333 for the same period In 1031, and an average of 15,907 for the past three years.

As fur as be Is concerned, the depression Is ended. To prove It he will build one million cars "or more" this coming year. That Is a good sign, since It proves that there must be people able to buy one million cars. Henry Ford says truly that Americans don't "want a dole," and those that take the dole always turn against those that give It, There Is, however, the fact that America doesn't want revolution, or too many dangerous riots, and you may take it from the British that the dole Is cheaper than revolution. England was near enough to the French revolution to realize that. man-cause- Why Liquid Laxatives are Back in Favor President Knubel of the United Lutheran Church of America worries about the future of religion. forces, he says, are growing constantly In this and other countries; hundreds of millions of people are "spiritually blind." Rev. Dr. Knubel asks, "How do you know that In two years from now you might not be asked to die for your faith?" Let us hope it will not be as bad as that, while wondering respectfully how many would be willing to die, or, like the ancient martyrs, court death for the sake of martyrdom.

The dose of a liquid laxative can be varied to suit the needs of the individual. The action can thus be regulated. A child is easily given the right dose. And mild liquid laxatives do not irritate the kidneys. Doctors are generally agreed that senna is a natural laxative. It does not drain the system like the cathartics that leave you so thirsty. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a liquid laxative which relies on senna for its laxative action. It gently helps the average person's constipated bowels until nature restores their regularity. You can always get Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready for use. mak- ing a living In America, that finds It so difficult to conquer lawlessness.
