A line i A mystery thriller with a humorous ending will be the first production of the Lawrence college theater in Lawrence Memorial chapel at 7:15 Saturday evening.

Under the title of "The Bishop Misbehaves." The play, by Frederick Jackson, was a Broadway success a number of years ago with Marc Connolly in the title role. The mystery involves the theft of a fortune in germs from the wealthy Mrs. Waller, played by Sylvia Dubsky, Lawrence college co-ed who appeared last year in Old Kentucky." The audience learns, with the rising of the curtain, that the crime is an "inside job," and that Hester Grantham, played by Ann Shattuck of Neenah, is trying to keep her lover, Donald Meadows, from taking part in the theft. Donald Schalk, Neenah, takes the part of Meadows. Whea the Bishop happens into the tavern where the robbery has taken place, he is not in seaich of refreshment.

He has been delayed by a rainstorm, and is merely trying to make a long distance phone call along the road. The Bishop's humor keeps the play humming from the moment of his entrance. He is a great reader of detective stories, and is almost happy when he blunders into the Wallers, who are frantic over the loss of their jewelry. Bishop Spots Clues The Bishop, observing, objects about the room, immediately spots a dozdh clues. Among other things, he finds the missing jewelry, but does not return it to the Wallers.

In this fashion he implicates himself in the theft, and the fun Is on. Craftily he leaves his calling card in place of the stolen gems, knowing that the robbers will find it and follow him. They do, and the final scenes of the play are laid in the bishop's own home. The Bishop receives his robber guests calmly, keeps them at bay while he unravels the tangled threads of the mystery, and brings the play to a happy and laughable close. Readers of detective thrillers will enjoy the character of the lovable old Bishop as played by Everett Baumann.

He represents the amateur detective, of which there are many, who finally gets his chance to solve a mystery, and does so, to th amazement of everybody concerned. In addition to the Saturday performance, the play will be repeated at 8:30 Monday evening. Tickets for both performances are on sale at Belling's pharmacy. RUMMAGE SALE, 9 A. M.

The most serious criticism to be leveled at the CCC as it now operates is that the poli ticians have taken over the admin istrative jobs. The merit system should prevail the CCC, fully as much as in the regular departments of the government.

Full opportun lty for advancement should be given the CCC boys themselves. It would develop their initiative and it would give them that priceless experience that only comes from assuming authority fairly won. The CCC idea has in it great op portunities for lasting good. nus, Hilbert; Mrs. John Bauks, Ap pleton; Mrs.

See him today and benefit as many others have, by this modern science. 11 A it c'l 4 i lb 41 Barstow, Calif. tn The text of Governor Landon'a Barstow speech follows: Traveling across half of the nation on this trip I have been happy to see from my car window several CCC camps and evidences of the good work the boys in them have done.

As governor of Kansas I supported from the first the measure creating the civilian conservation corps. That bill, as originally introduced, provided that the work should be done on national domain. I called the matter to the attention of the senior senator from my state. He added an amendment that was adopted which permitted CCC projects to be carried out on state as well as federal domain. Subsequent experience has shown this has greatly enlarged the value of the conservation corps.

Once I am elected president, I will do everything within my power not only to continue the CCC but to improve the organization. It shall be my purpose to make it far more effective than it yet has been both for the young men who compose it and for the public. The present administration has forgotten the original purpose of the CCC. It is threatening to lead the several hundred thousand young Americans comprising the corps down a blind alley. Not Permanent Jobs The purpose of the CCC is not to provide permanent occupations.

Rather it is to tide its members over until they can find real jobs with genuine opportunities for themselves. It should not only build bodies but furnish education so that the DEATHS MRS.
