Realizing that the people of this region are awakening to the value of good drama the Gary public library has issued a list of dramas it has on hand. The librarian advises that the drama instead of the novelised version of the play be read, because: First the drama is better written, or is better literature. Second It has the faculty of easy reading, as it is all conversation with the description cut out. Third It is well to read the play either before or often eetng It. Fourth If read afterward you will find so many enjoyable lines that you missed at the theatre, attention be ing taken up with the sceneryetc. If read before attending the theatre will be more able to catch the meaning.

Jacques got a good start In his first came, scoring 232 maples, which hung over Nelson by a margin of 4S pins. In their second, third and balance ol the five-game series the maples re fused to topple, resulting in the scort-s being below their usual standard.
