To the Biitor Of the Evening Star;
Every day for the last two weeks |
have been reading in your paper, as
well as others, that people have died or
been made seriously i'll by eating DAD
stools instead Of mushrooms. 1t seems
too bad thai people do not take the pre-
caution to educate themselves in regard
to the difference between mushrooms
and toadstools. In view of the disas-
trous results reported in your paper
about people in different parts of the
country eating toadstools the reproduc-
ton of this letter notifying your read
ers that they can obtain in any of the
public libraries a book entitled The
Mushroom Handbook" which will give
a description of the difference with
illustrations in colors, may be most
timely.

OUR CHINESE NAVAL VISITORS.

NV EW YORK extends a cordial welcome to the first Chinese
AN warship that has visited our shores, and the stay of the
Chinese naval men in the Hudson will be marked by many
civilites. They will receive lots of attention in the streets of Man
haitian, and the city authorities will see to it that Chinese sailors
who are ashore with money TO spend are not waylaid and robbed
by criminals. We would like these visitors to go back to China
with accounts of their hOspiable treatment in the American
metropolis to offset the unpleasant impressions on the Chinese
mind of American treatment of Cinnamon on the Pacific coast.

necessary in English to the clerk.
After the regular slate had been dis
posed of a man stepped up before the

A sudden smile lighted the mans

Suggestion for Theatre Managers.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Having read with interest a letter in
your paper recently referring to the
annoyance caused by persons CON
versing during the performances at
local theatres. let me say that there
are hundreds of others who are
equally annoyed every time they at
tend a performance. Many times OF
late 1 have been compelled to request
the offenders 10 keep quiet, and this
usually means an argument. In JUS
tice to those Who desire to listen, 1t
might be q good plan for the IAN
ayers of the various theatres to have
printed on the program a notice ask
ing those who do not wish to listen to
az least stop talking. This would help
a lot toward making it a pleasure 10
attend the theatres.

WEST VIRGINIA
FOR INCOME TAX

CHARLESTON, w. VA.,-Special-
Only two votes were cast in the House
yesterday against the resolution rati-
flying the income tax amendment to
the Federal Constitution. Seventy
members voted for IT, and il went to
the Senate for action.
Opponents Of the resolution sub
hitting the prohibition amendment to
the State Constitution to n vote of the
people were surprised when the reso-
luton came up on the third reading
in the House and seventy-three mem
bers voted for il and only nine against
it. Fifty-eight votes were necessary
for its adoption.
The resolution was backed by the
Rev. Thomas NJ. Hare, president of
the State Anti-Saloon League, and
those opposing it predicted that it was
doubtful IL the resolution would get
the necessary two-thirds vote. Two
years ago a similar resolution passed
the House by the same vote. The res
olutiOn prohibits the manufacture and
sale Of intoxicating liquors as bev-
erage after July 1, 1918. The resolu-
ton went to the Senate. where a sim
liar amendment, effective in 1914, is
pending.

LAUNCHING THE OLYMPIC. THE
LARGEST SHIP IN THE WORLD

Very few Of the thousands who an
nually make up the rush TO Europe
ever fully realize what a gigantic
structure they are floating on. Even
while on board the leviathan of steel

have never walked the length and
breadth OF its decks can realize still
less its magnitude or how II was con-
StructCd. So when the famous shin
building firm of Harland & Wolff
Limited. Belfast Ireland, was given
the contract two years ago to plan
and construct q ship that would
dwarf all others ever planned by man
Lyman II. Howe also did some plan

to photograph at various times dur

phase OF this huge creation of man s
genius from the laying of the keel to
It's launching. All these scores Will be
