He enjoys telling how ont of, his neighbors at Cambridge, on seeing him come out of the front door of his home, suitcase in hand, said "Off for Omaha again?" It is nearly three years since Dr. Crothers' last visit. In J915-16'he made two or three visits, chiefly in the interest of the local Unitarian church, but'ako to the delight of the many friends not Unitarians whom he has made through his books, lec tures and magazine articles. Widely read and -widely traveled,' Dr. Crothers is essentially a west erner. In one of his essays he de scribes his youthful ambition at Paint Creek, O., to go as a mission ary to Persia. "Instead," he says, "I went to Kansas." Another post of service at the beginning of his career .was in a small town in Colorado, where he served as a Presbyterian minister. Laterjon he was for a number of vears minister of the Unitarian church of St. Paul. Called to the east's 25 years ago, to be minister of the historic and progressive Unitarian church in Harvard Square, Cam bridge, he has become one of the dis tinguished citizens of greater Bos ton. He has lost none of his interest in the scenes of his-earlier experi ences, likes to look out orchis west ern windows, so to speak, and keeps an eye on what is going on here in the west. , Dr. Crothers is to preach at the Unitarian church Sunday morning on "The Place of America in the New International Order." On Mon day evenine at the same place he is to give his latest literary produc tion, "In the Dame School of Ex perience." . - ' French Army Band of 50 War Veterans Will Play in Gty April CITY JO OBSERVE SPRING SEASON DRESS-UP WEEK Omaha Association of Retail ers Arranges Plansf or Spring Festival; Governor and ' Mayor Indorse Move.

"Community theaters as a living, vital memorjal to America's soldier heroes are what the National Drama league is offering as a substitute for the traditionary marble arches and columns," said Mrs." A. Starr Best, vice president of the league, at the Hotel Fontenelle this morning. "Birmingham has already accept ed the idea and Chicago has had several mass meetings over the question-'-she continued. ' "Every place people are accepting the viewpoint of the league, which maintains that inasmuch as they hare created a spirit of discontent among soldiers with' the poorer' type of entertainment by the excellent opportunities provided in camps, they must now continue to keep this higher level of entertainment; they must not allow the cheaper taste to dominate. , . , Would Avert Anarchy.

" Introduce Dramatic Methods. Besides community recreational centers the league is urging on their program the introduction of dra matic methods in church circles. "This is where the drama started," Mrs. Best explained, "and when churches realize that dramatic di rectors are as vital to their interests as a minister, there will be added interest in churches." Mrs. Best is director of a Sunday Afternoon.' club in connection witli her church at Evanston, where the members study and dramatize Bible plays in the churcfiT" - . The third important thing that the league is emphasizing to Americans throughout the states is the Pilgrim Ter-centennial celebration in 1920.
