"DOUBLE DOOR" TO BE NEXT
OFFERING PLAYMAKER8 GUILD
Elizabeth McFaddtm. the American
author of "Double Door", the dramatic
offering to be presented by the
1'luymakers' Guild lit the hlKh Hchool
auditorium on Friday, March 10,
knows the value of suggestion.
The myatarloua room that la always
to the fore In the play meant molodrajna.
It causes the audience to sigh
with anticipation and la usually productive
of a storm of applause at the
tlnul curtain.
"Double Door" Is to bo presented
under the fine direction of MrH. Donald
Morrison, who has boon so successful
in directing previous offerings
of the Guild. Mrs Morrison has selected
a most capable cast featuring
Mrs. John K&uch, Mr. Stalvey, Miss
Maggie Tranthum, Herbert Hocht,
Mrs VV H. Harris, Mrs Zander Clarkson,
Miss Celeste Mumford, George
Khame, Gay H. Daum, Basil Bruce,
Rev. Dryce Herbert and Frank Riggen

When "Double Door" opened triumphantly
In New York, the press and
public seemed Immediately to sense
an analogy between the play and the
legend surrounding an old New York
family whose fortune was In litigation
and surrounded with mystery.
The old family mansion still stands
on Fifth Avenue In all Its foreboding
mystery. The shades are drawn and
the house Is now empty. The passerby
who knows Its legend la quite apt
to shudder as he looks at Its ghostly
walls.
It would seem as if Miaa McFadden
had courageously entered the mansion
and surely she has woven an enthralling
play around Its wraith-like
occupants. Evil deeds performed In
an aristocratic manner take on n new
terror and the character of Victoria
Van Brest Is as relentless as Fate 111
the old Greek dramas. And wo say
In all frankness that when you seej
the character of Victoria offered by
Miss Mumford In the Haymakers'
Guild production, you are assured a
real interpretation of a most difficult
role.

an indication of unusually fine college
work.

Florida Cagers
Invade State
(ity The Skipper)
A tiAHketbuil team of girls from
down In Florida where 1 used to hang
out an a publicity director Jnvades
South Carolina Saturday night to battle
the Monettu girls team ut Monetta.
Monettu won the Clues C title ut
Orangeburg last week for the seventh
consecutive time. The team claims
to have won 160 games and has not
lost a game In seven yeurs.
The Florida team comes from
Groveland, a little bailiwick a few
miles from where I had my headquarters.
The Groveland sunshine maidens
have won sixteen straight games
this season and In those games have
scored 1,006 points, or an uverage of
66 points per game. Wow. Since
there is 32 minutes to a game, this
Is on an average of 2 points a minute.
In a recent game with the Apopka,
Florida, team, Groveland scored 112
points, which Is a ijjttional record.
The only question that arises In my
mlrul over the Saturday night game
Is whether the Florida girls will be
able to perform on the hardwood gym
court as well as on the outdoor courts
used In Florida. Personally, we
doubt It. 13ut a team that can steam
along at 2 points a minute may have
enough on the ball to win indoors
against a real good "Class C" team
In South Carolina.
Natural impurities
Needed In Fertilizer
, Because of their deficiency In the
minor, or secondary elements, some
| doubt has developed as to the economy
and desirability of the new, highly
concentrated fertilizers. Until about
twenty-five or thirty years ago, It was
generally believed that nitrogen, potash
and ayid satisfied the crop's total
need for plant food. At that time,
however, nitrogen materials of high
purity began to be used instead of the
old style, natural fertilizers like blood,
bone, scrap, stable manure and meal,
which had gotten scarce and expensive.
Since then, experience has revealed
the value of many of the plant
food elements contained in natural
fertilizers as impurities and this, in
turn, has raised the question regarding
the economic efficiency or the
pure fertilizers.
"It is a common complaint among
farmers," says Professor L. G. Willis,
of the North Carolina Experiment station.
"that the quality of fertilizers
has been lowered. It would seem that
it should take less of the concentrated
fertilizers to make a crop and that
farmers would profit by using them.
Actually, the reverse has been true.
Farmers have had to use more of
these newer fertilizers, but there is
no evidence that crop yields have
been correspondingly increased. As.
the analyses of fertilizers have increased,
the rate of application also
has increased, resulting in higher fertilizer
costs."
Purity in fertilizers can only be attained
by eliminating the impurities.
Many of the impurities in natural fertllzers.
however, are just as necessary
to plants as nitrogen, potash or phosphate.
They cannot make a crop
without them. In view of the rather
unsatisfactory results thus far obtained
with the new high-purity materials
and highly concentrated fertilizers, it
seems certain that part of the efficiency
of natural materials is due both
to the various other plant food elements
contained in them as impurities.
and to the combinations, the natural
balance and blend, in which they
are found

Met With Miss Morris
The DuBose Park 4-H club held
their monthly meeting February 18,
at the home of Annette Morris. The
meeting was called to order by the
members singing "My Country 'TIa>of
Thee." The roll was called and each
member answered with something
about Washington. The lesson yfra
"Laundering Made Easy." Little do
we think how much laundering can be
made easier If we just sit down and
think for a little while on the many
steps and tired backs we can prevent
by doing our laundering in the right!
way, also the longer wear of our
clothes. This can be done by using
the right kind of soap, taking tho(
clothes from the line in the proper
way, and putting them In separate
places bo when we want them we can
go directly to their places and get
them. This was a very helpful lesson
and every one was helped by it.
The next meeting will be March 18,
and our lesson will be "Bed Making."
