Going Abroad With Lyman H. Howe

To see Lyman H. Howe's new
program of moving pictures to be
seen i'll Normal Auditorium, Mon
day, April 20, S:I5 is to visit Hol-
land, France. England, Morocco,
Znlnland and to experience a ride
in an automobile racing 80 miles an
hour, thrilling midnight fire in a
big city; and to see the wild birds
at home, hunt in the Arctic re-
gions, the stone quarries in full
blast near Cherbourg, France, some
splendid portraits of wild amin ais,
and many other features contribut-
ed by almost every known quarter
OF the globe-and some that are
comparatively unknown. Inter
spersed with these features of world
travel and recent history and indus.
tries. are pictures of mingled pa
thos and humor which make the
whole audience akin" No amount
OF magazine articles or newspaper
dispatches can give as clear and
comprehensive idea of the world
today as does Mr.. Howe in his new
program. No printed page could
convey impressions of things as
they are, and incidents as they oc
Cured, as indelibly as is done
through the medium of moving pic
lures. He seems to possess the
rare faculty of exhibiting not only
Just what his audience wants to see
but showing it more clearly than
many would see in the original.
He shows enough-and just enough
ot each series to keep the interest
OF every beholder keyed to "con-
cert pitch"a from beginning to end.
The present program establishes a
new standard by which not only all
similar exhibitions must be meas
ured but by which even Mr.. Howe's
previous programs will naturally
be measured.

State College Commencement.

Although the forty.eighth annu-
al commencement of The Pennsyl-
vania State College will not be held

still have place on the program
but on commencement day proper

will be the usual commencement
address and the balance of the time
will be taken up with the exercises
incident to the installation of DR..

the college.
1t is also expected that COM
mencement week will witness one
of the biggest gatherings of promi-
nent men interested in the welfare
of the college as we'll as leading

Here's what Fred Newell of the
DusAoye Replez0 thinks of Anna
Gould.
"Some folks are born fools, and
some get more so as they get older.
We do not like to even insinuate
that lady is a fool, and we will
not do so, but we will tell a story.
Anna Gould is the daughter of the
late Jay Gould, and she inherited
something like twenty millions of
dollars from her father. Then she
married Count Boni de Castelane,
a dirty French roue, who had de.
scended from a family which used
to be noble. He spent nearly half
her money, neglected her, openly
kept his mistresses in her house,
and even struck her. Her brothers
rescued her from this beast, and
saved part of her fortune. The
French courts gave her divorce as
soon as the facts were presented.
Now, the woman is crazy to marry
another Frenchman, this time a
fellow who says he is Prince de
Sagan. She has quarreled with
her brothers and sister over it, and
the wedding will soon come off.
Well, it's her funeral. II isn't any
of Ot,rs

For headache DR.. Miles Anti Pain Fills

The experiment station at State
College has been testing the corn
raised in Central Pennsylvania and
finds that great deal of it-by far
the larger proportion, is unfit for
seed by reason Of its not being fully
matured. 1t behooves every farm
er to give the matter of seed corn
his careful attention, for poor seed
means poor crop, and a big finan-
cial loss to him.

treasury, He has since then been 9 leader in the movement which has re- suited in the building of magnificent bridge structure It is very doubtful if without him the kind of bridge that spans the Connecticut to-day would have been built Realizing this the citizens of Hartford have presented him with complete silver service in appreciation of his achievement.
 It is one of the most suggestive incl dents in the life of the state that we can recall We quite understand the motive which counselled the good peo- pie of Hartford to recognize in some fitting way Mir Bulkeley's service, but as creditable as that is it should not be permitted to cloud the real issue n- volved, which IS the public spirit back of the achievement Much more has been written than ever needed to be written concerning the compelline power of a salary to produce results in civic life Against this sodden faith has been pitted the more attractive doctrine, that there is no trouble in getting the best service out of the best men if they can De made to feel that public service on their part is in the nature of civic duty It has been asserted that had John D. Rockefeller been appealed to and his great con structiye ability invoked. in aid of any one of the immense enterprises the city of New York has undertaken, and t was understood by him that he was appealed to because of his genius, he would gladly have responded in the affirmative
 The city of Hartford could not have fired the ability Mr Bulkeley and his associates put into the construction ot the new bridge, so that the gift to him is particularly significant Of the kind of public spirit which is essential to municipal progress It has suddenly declared to the brainy men of that city that there are greater rewards in store for them, as a consequence of unsellsh service in behalf of their home town than can be measured in terms of dol-
 lars and cents We venture upon no exaggeraton when we say that MT Bulkcley values the appreciation of which he has been the recipient from his fellow townsmen more than all of the political honors, which have come to him and to possess which he has had to fight TO labor unselashly for the good of the town in which one lives, and by SO doing to call forth the best response human nature is capable Of, is no mean performance, Hartford ls to be congratulated as much as Mir. Bulkeloy.

of the day and made you uvjolate against further solicitations.
 There were no objectionable fea- turcs to the affair." Even the woath- CT was as perfect as could be asked for during the greater part Of the day As for the necuniary result the amount of money received offers handsome testimony to tho way in which the city may be expected to stand behind this very worthy institu- ton, When 1t is considered that 1t took all of seven hours to count the heaps and heaps of coins and bills of every description, there is no need to call upon the services of some expert mathematician to toll us just how man times around the green these coins would extend, if placed side by side, or how many times they would oertop the Liberty Pole, if piled on high. The novelty was well received, The results were such as satisfied the most hopeful St, Raphael's has good reason to congratulate itself We doubt whether in any of the many cit les where tag days have been held the workers have been met with a more ready response or with greater encouragement. New IHaven's tag day was a truly democratic charity In every sense.
 The temptation will probably be for other institutions to try their success with similar move. To such as may harbor any such intention, a word of advice may be offered. A tag day especially in New Haven, is one of those affairs which, by nature, works most successfully when first tried Then It's novel features appeal most to the public. A second tag day, at least one conducted within year or two, would be certain to meet with less approval Therefore, let those who contemplate second tag day think the matter over we'll before they make their plans.
