Caught in the Rain, which is under
suspicion of Collier authorship. aided and
abetted by Grant Stewart A large and
thoroughly sympathetic audience was
present. and. although the recent ex-

Caught in the Rain has no plot which
the authors would care to have referred
to-being modest men-but it has plenty
Of good, wholesome fun and vast deal

UNTO every generation of Ameri-
cans George Washington is justly
held to be the purest figure in
- history-a superb example of the
perfect citizen just and righteous
ruler and "a light for after time"
This commanding personality had a
magnificent physique. He stood over six
feet in his stockings, was remarkable for
Workmanship, agility and strength-the
finest gentleman and athlete of his day.
His constitution was of iron and he
knew how to keep it so. His biographers
declare that In eating and In drinking as
in all things he was normal; enjoying
the juice of the malt all the days of his
life. He drank it around campfires, as
well as In his own home and upon social
and state occasions.
Furthermore, upon his Mount Vernon
plantation he had brew house, as was
the regular custom of wealthy Virginians.
