PUBLIC DAE G IS
PR0HIB ) IN BERLIN
BERLIN, June 13 (by Associated
Press).—Police President Ernst’s pro
hibition of public dancing in Berlin
: has been welcomed by the great mass
, of citizens, whose indignation had
; been aroused not only by the great
number of balls held nightly, but also
by their character. One such ball, held
1 recently, was a beauty competition.
' The dance-fever has been raging in
Berlin since the war-time prohibition
against public dances was withdrawn.
Reports from provincial towns show
. similar conditions. The soldiers of
. a garrison in a small town in Brande
. burg sent a delegation to the com
. manding officer to protest against re
quiring them to begin drilling at 8
a. m. when they had been dancing
, until 5 a. m.

SMELTER STACK IS
REPAIRED WITH MASK
PUEBLO, Colo., June 13 by Asso
ciated Press).—Dealy sulphur gasses
from the Pueblo smelter smoke stack
were braved for three days by Steeple
jack Jim O’Brien recently with the
aid of a gas mask borrowed from a
Yank from overseas. Steeplejack Jim
worked for three days at the top of
the smoke stack, 200 feet in the air,
making repairs. Had it not been for
the gas mask, the smelter would have
had to shut down because no man
could brave the sulphur fumes and
live.
DRAMAISPRODUCED
BY DEAF MUTE ACTORS
LOS ANGELES, June 13 by Asso
ciated Press).—A silent drama—not
motion pictures; silent, not because
it was not spoken, but because the
“audience" was hard of hearing, was
held here recently by students at a
school of lip-reading.
“A Proposal by Context” written by
the principal of the school and con
taining many humorous situations, was
the title of the play.
Lip-readers, it is explained, often
must judge by the context of what
is being said, for there are many words
that look alike or almost alike in the
lip movements in conversation.
In the play, the lead character, a
soldier proposes thus: “How would
you like to have a soldier like me?” in
addressing the female lead, a lip
reader, who translates his question:
“How. would you like to have a soda
with me?" and smilingly replies, “I’d
love one.”
As the play progresses, however,
she grasps from the context the sol
dier’s meaning. The “audience” was
composed practically entirely of deaf
mutes.
Charles A. Sponberg, of Valdez, has
been appointed received for the, An
tracite Alaska Railwayat Katalla and
will arrive here tomorrow to take
charge of the property. He was named
by the district court upon application
of Attorneys Donohoe and Dimond,
whose clients, Tony Matarelli and Ar
nold Moller, hold judgments against
the company, for injured received,
amounting to $14,000. Contractor Geo.
Nelson has also sued the same road
on a contract for $38,000 alleged to
be due him.
