Not So Bad IL It is Wicked.

Washington, Oct. 29.-"Drop a

of Baltimore.
DR.. Guthrie was talking last night
on "Calvinism" at the closing session
of the synod of Baltimore at the Met
ropolitan Presbyterian church here.
Coming at the close of plea for a
wholesome, enthusiastic interest in
life was the sentence:
Life has become so meaningless
and so useless to some that I advo-
cate the setting up of suicide ma
chine where one can deposit a cent
and be killed easily and respect
ably"

Something New in Store for the Peo-

In "Wildfire," the great racing

thor of "The Man of the Hour" and
George v. Hobart, who wrote Marie
Cahill's present starring vehicle,
"The Boys and Betty" a thorough
knowledge of the details of racing
Is the basis of the much-talked-of
second act, and 1t explains why this
play has outdistanced other stories
of the race track in it's realism.
This interesting second act shows
the trainers quarters, a land of
mystery even to veteran race goers.
The scene is practically an exact du-
plicate of a prominent trainers
quarters at the leading race track
near New York City. 1t shows a
large apartment, with two double
barn doors. The room is located on
the left of the center of the build
ing, which is always divided into two
sections by an archway, leading to
the paddock, where the horses are
kept. The floor is carpeted, and on
the walls are pictures of famous
racers and few old-fashioned
chromos. In one corner is a light
iron frame bed, and nearby, a bur-
eau, washstand, a trunk, and a
small table on which are account
books and a pair of field glasses.
On the wall crossed American and
Irish flags are hung, not because of
patriotism and nationality, but a
custom as fixed as are the college
colors in a freshman's room. Then
there is the inevitable cupboard
containing bandages and lotions,
also blanket rack in which the
trainers fancy runs riot in the ar
rangement of gaudily hued blank
cts. Saddles and brides are seen
in closet off the room.
Pauline Hall, the famous Ameri-
can beauty, who, like Lillian Rus
sell, has found comedy as much her
forte as opera, will appear as the
central character, the charming
widow, Mrs. Darlington, when
"Wildfire" is presented at the Lyric
on Monday, Nov. Sth. The produc-
tion is faultlessly staged, and the
unusually capable company en-
braces many we'll known players.

Last year five schools were run for

averaged only four pupils for the

like Paupack patrons should be a
little more lenient unless they are
willing to pay double school tax.
They should consider that it is i'm
possible for the directors to run
school for three or four children
even if they live a little more than
two miles from the nearest school.
