PASSION PLAY STORY IS INTERPRETED ABLY BY VILLAGE ACTORS BY JU.XE nOBINSON PARIS; July 24. By mail to the Palladium famous for its presentation of the Passion Play, Oberammergau is again the Journey's end for thousands of travekrs from all parts' of the world this year. The interruption of the performances by the war, wiich had until then been given every 10 years since 1613 has not dimmed the inspiration or earnestness with which this little village continues to keep its pledge of centuries ago made at the cessation of a dreadful plague. The play is given at certain days during the summer months and 5,000 people are accommodated at each performance. All visitors must arrive the evening before the play as it lasts eight hours, four hours being given in the morning and four in the afternoon. Then they remain until the day after the play to depart. During their sojourn thev are entertained in the homes of the natives, by members of the play cast as well as others. Their homes are so simple as to be almost primitive the cows, goats and chickens often occupying a room in the house. Unique Feature A unique feature of the play is that the audience is seated in a covered auditorium one end of which is open. At this end the stage has been placed open and separate from the auditorium and with a background of mountains. The play covers the life of Christ from His entry into Jerusalem until His . ascension. The spoken lines were written by Dominican monks and have j been elaborated upon somewhat in the 1 course of years but with amazmg accuracy. Through years of study and j patient labor the peasants of Oberammergau have evolved this beauti-j ful play from a small and rather crude i beginning. For a year before it is ! piesented they rehearse and prepare it. Their lives are lived for it and with the desire to give a true presentation of the story of Christ's life. The result is one which could not be surpassed by the greatest of actors and one which is unique in the history of the world. The thousands who flock f Via little f -i ro ii o it i-lllorra o n tac. ' timonial to the success of their effort. 1 They have no desire to become rich : but live on in their simple way un- J spoiled by the invasions of the outer! world with its sophistication, modern-i ness and offer of wealth to them.!01 Parh rharartPr in his evervdav life!

takes in the play. All are simple folk, picturesque and quid. Most of the men have long, curly hair which waves over their shoulders beneath cocky, green caps topped with a peat feather. The women and girls wear full skirts and tight little bodices prettily embroidered. Regardless of cold weather the children almost all go barefooted. Woodcarving, pottery making and other handiwork is done by ths villagers to make a living and in winter the place is visited by many Europeans for winter sports. The village is only three hours from Munich, one of Germany's important cities. Skillfully Interpreted The Passion Play is not a naive or crude presentation by peasant folk but a marvelous story interpreted by artists of drama and told in an earnest, sincere and convincing manner. The costumes are in ravishing colors and exquisitely made, many of them handsomely embroidered. The stage is divided in to three parts, the center i ueiiig usvu iur lauieaux wnicn are given during the play. About 200 persons take part, 50 of them being in the chorus which sings before each part, accompanied by an orchestra. The play itself is a perfect symphony cf color, amazing in its beauty. Wonderful Costumes The costumes of the characters on flowing Greek lines are wonderful in their colors. , Christ wears robes of crimson and white; Mary, red and hlue. Mary Magdalene's gown was of the softest blue and yellow. John wore a soft vermillion red and olive green. .Tiiftns was costumed in black a.id gold. The priests and other digritaries of th; Fyr.agogue were resplendent in embroidered and bejeweled 3 "bpp. The soldiers of Pilate wore fashing armor.

GOAL DUG BY. PASTOR FROM FAMILY MINE; GETS 50 TONS DAILY fBy Associated Press) j SPRINGFIELD, 111., Aug. 8. In the; last few weeks persons living neari . - . . I few years ago was pastor of the Chris-1 tian church at Cantrall. marveled at ! the large output of the little family j coal mine whjle no heip was available. t But a "close-up" of operations at thin mine, which is 10 miles north of Springfield, would have revealed Mrs. ; Fisher and her twelve-year-old son : manning the tod works, firing the I engine, pulling the hoisting levers, and l' weighing the coal, "while the former1 preacher was below digging out the fuel. Mr. Fif her's story is that of a man .who after, leaving his pulpit dug a: j col mine virtually with his own hands, and later offered hjs mine to jthe .taf1 of niinois. Friends called his undertaking a "wild adventure," coal operators told him it would cost $20,000, and neighbors told him plainly he was a fool. On the contrary, Mr. Fisrier and his young son, with the occasional ?id of a voung nephew. nnd with krowledge gleaned from a few library books, performed virtually jail the work himself at nominal cost.; Retires From Ministry Mr Fisher retired from the minis-1 ; trv tn live on a f"rm. As the winter, ' of 1918 was a dull time on the farm, ( be and his son went out into the tim- ; ber on his property and began to dig a I j hole Hx feet square. From an oil j ; throning engine ard from part? of a ; road grader he rigged tin a hoisting; ' machine. He bought additional equin-' i ment from the profits of his farming. ; for b had no other funds to invest In 1920 he began to take out coal. Until he rhut down recently he had been taking out fifty tons a day. The j mine has a capacity of about 1 00 j tons. Mr. Fisher has been using a! force of ten men. but in order to get j coal to miners he has onerated the mine with the aid of his wife and son, in the manner described above. ! An automatic dump, Mr. Fisher's own invention, greatly reduces labor. He built all the upper works himself. Coal Under Farm There is coal under the entire farm of 245 acres. There are 2000 acres of coal adjacent to the place. The vein is uniformly six feet in thickness. At Centrall there is also an old mine which had been working about i 50 union miners. These men. Mr. Fisher said, had been somewhat bewildered by his operations. He said he was not opposed to the union, but "C v v.I Lhe been working his iiau uuv urisii - desired to join the union and tnt ne expected to continue on a non.union basig. Jn formaly offering his mine to the state Mr. Fisher wrote Acting Govl trnor meniug uiai lie uj at iiuci i to take tnj3 mine with its equipment and personnel of men and operate it upon any basis that wil provide the state institutions with coal."
