Attorney Pohn C Barrett, of the
board, reports that a Homan goose
was reported to have strayed over
to the Conrad goose colony, where

Deliver Lectures Here
Easterner Has Special Re
gard for Omaha in View
Of Mis Many Visits
- to West
Dr. Samuel McChord Croflfers of
Cambridge, Mass., nqted author and
lecturer, who is on bis way to this,
city, has a special regard for Omaha.'
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." . - '

Mrs, Best Urges Community
(Theaters to Curb Anarchy
Vice President of National Drama League Speaks Be
- fore Omaha' Organization on Preparations for
Pilgrim Ter-Centennial Celebration in 1920.
"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.
"They " created discontht and
must now offer opportunities for
entertainment even to ioRiera re
turning to the smallest of towns
which hitherto afforded no theaters,
i-itiier Uus si i jjtfU oi anarchistic
discontent will prevail," Mrs. Best
said. "
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.
"We are offering $500, $250 an
$100 prizes,! she said, "for the best
plays on this subject. We are start
ing a campaign to make its success
equal to the Shakespearian cen
tennial."' Mrs. Best spoke at the Hotel
Fontenelle under the auspices of the
