ba, and which Solomon evidently inn
parted to her, the divine gift so super
Tor to the human. For this attitude
Ct the Queen she was commended by
the Savior
I'd. In this place the speaker show
ed how this queen was commended
for the sacrifices she made in order
to obtain an interview with Solomon.
Many today think 1t too difficult and
too costly to sacrifice ease and pleas
ure and comforts in order to acquire
wisdom. He showed how it costs a
long tedious journey through ward
schools, high schools. colleges and
universities in order to secure knowl-
edge-an expenditure OF time, money
and energy, yet it pays; that. appliea-
ton means sacrifice, yet sacrifice al
ways brings the reward He show ID
how we can possess this superior wis
dom and how responsibility rests up
on us by rejecting 1t. That all knowl-
edge without this true wisdom from
above avails nothing. That knowl-
edge is power, yet without wisdom
that power may be exerted in the
wrong direction.
In conclusion the speaker address
ed the graduating class and encour-
aged them to apply the truths he de-
livered in general. He compared them
with the Queen OF Sheba seeking in
struction. Like her some were no
doubt making sacrifices and laying
aside amusement and pleasures in
order to acquire knowledge. All such
would be rewarded. He complimented
the trustees and faculty OF the High
School for their position toward re-
scientific knowledge; that the aim
was not to have intelligent pagans but
intelligent Christians, ald that the in
struction impaired would help them
to carry out the purposed God in their
creation. He told the class they
were living in an age of great advaE-
tages for good or for vii; that life
was what they made it, and that di-
vine wisdom would alone meet their
needs. He urged that their future
should be honorable and not disap-
point their teachers or parents who
rad great hopes for their future Sue
cess. He said he personally knew
each one, even their parents, and that
he also was solicitious of their well
fare; yet there was no honor equal 20
that which God bestows upon thos
who accept the Greater than Solo,
mon" for their companion through
life. He warned them against books
ard persons that honored not Chris
tianity, or that contradicted the Bible.
He also warned them against laying
aside their studies, but rather advance
in them until they could receive the
degree of IA. b. at a college; that the
work OF life was for life; that COM
mencenent to them was now a new
condition while they would commence
to meet, requiring attention and ener-

From The World of Wednesday:
One of the most enjoyable events
of commencement week was the en-
tertainme1t last night by members Of
the Alumni association of the High
School. This consisted OF two bright
little comedies, "The Suffragette" and
After the Play" A large and very
appreciative audience was present in
assembly hall and the many good hits
and funny situations were loudly APP
plauded. Everything went OF smooth

tire success. In fact as a play it was,
In popular opinion, one of the best
amateur efforts ever witnessed In
Martinburg. Therefore high credit is
due all who bore part. A goodly
sum was realized for the High School
piano fund for whose benefit the en-
tertainment was gotten up. The room
vas tastefully decorated with en-
ants, bunting, flowers and evergreens.
A pleasing diversion between the
two plays was a vocal solo by Miss
May Siler, who sung very sweetly "A

Puzzle: When Are
Automobiles BoiSterouS

When is an automobile boisterous and
disorderly?
To this question yesterday in the Dis
trict Supreme Court, Justice Stafford
confessed his inability to give an
answer. He declined to grant n tenn
porary injunction against the District
TaXicab Company in its conduct of a
garage in the rear of the Dewey
Hotel. asked by Willard w. Brown,
lessee.
Justice Stafford said he is unable
TO determine when an automobile
makes unusual" noises, asking for
further testimony before he would is
sue an injunction ordering quiet at
the garage.
Testimony will be taken within five
days as to the alleged noisy operation
of the garage, which Manager Brown
of the Dewey says disturbs his guests.
Brown says the noise from the garage
is so unusual" and protracted into
early morning hours, that his busi-
ness is being injured.
Denials that its automobiles are op-
Grated noisily are made by the Taxi
cab Company.

AVIATOR AND BRIDE
TO HL|T IN SKIES
UPON HONEYMOON
Paul Peck Will Take His
Wife Aloft Next
Week.

Cupid does not stop with his accom-
plishments on earth. but scars around
In the air sometimes, and through his
wonderful aim wings an aviator.
Paul Peck iS the latest flyer to fall
victim to this great marksman.
People little thought when they saw
Peck flying about in the Rex Smith ma
chine, cutting figure eights, making
fancy spiral glides, performing difficult
hanks with his machine in turning II in
the air, that he had a corollary pur-
pose in view-that OF learning aviation
for the great financial gain there is 10
1t, that he might wed the girl he loved.
He decided to take up aviation in
order that he soon could amass a small
fortune and retire, never to part from
tie side Of his sweetheart. 1mbued with
the desire to achieve principally for the
girls wake, Peck learned to fly and con-
troll a machine quicker than any other
aviator in the business. He learned to
fiy a machine in seven days. Peck tlIen
made a study of the atmosph sricaI con-
fitions that an aviator must contend
with, and in the short space of 4 month
has developed into a finished aviator.
His name has been printed far and
near, and this coming week In Conneaut
Lake, Pa, great crowds will be there TO
see the daring young air pilot.
When the Rex Smith Company an
nounced not long ago that its machine
was to be sent out on a trip, the realiZa-
tion that long absence from each other
would mean ionesomeness came upon
Peck and his young sweetheart.
Cupid then took a hand. and the mar
rage yesterday resulted.
Mrs Peck, who was Miss Ruth P.
Owens, has become a great admirer OF
avia ton, but she does not like for her
husband to take the chances.
However. she has confidence IN MS
ability to make safe flights, and when
the exhibition of the Rex Smith machine
is given at Conneaut Lake during their
honeymoon. Mrs. Peck is to take trip
in the skies with her husband.

District Death Rate
For Week Decreases

The death rate Of the District for tn.
week ended August 10 was 145, an un.
usually low rate. the Health Depart.
ment Of the District declared in the re.
port issued today by Health Officer
Woodward. The rate for the cores
ponding week In 1910 was 15.2, and III
for the week ended August IL. 1911.
The death rate among white persons
last week was 104, while that among
colored persons was ESQ.
Against the ninety-seven deaths re-
ported last week there were 1l7 births,
with slightly larger number Of deaths
OF white persons than colored. Births
among the whites were ninety-two and
those of the colored fifty-fve.
Three persons committed suicide dur
ing the week.
THE situation at this date with res
pect to the more contagious diseases

continues. "As compared with Cores
ponding period of last year there are
fewe rcases of diphtheria, and less scar
let fever. smallpox, and typhoid fever"

WHAT SOCIETY WOMEN
USE FOR SHAMPOOING

Many society women" writes Mrs.
Mae Martyr. in the Los Angeles Press.
prefer doing their own shampooing
rather than go TO the hair-dressers s.
The reason is obvious. Women whose
social duties occupy most OF their time
do not feel like setting aside several
hours for a trip to and from the sham
poo parlor, hence the growing popular
ity of the home shampoo. The use Of
canthrox is gaining favor because It
requires little work, and after a can
throx shampoo has been enjoyed the
scalp Is spotlessly clean, and the hair
takes on a delightful lustre and fuffi-
ness. Canthrox shampoos are excellent
for allaying itching and correcting all
scalp and hair troubles. To prepare,
dissolve a teaspoonful canthrox in a
cup hot water and your shampoo is
ready"

FOUNDER PLANS To
HAVE WINTER HOME
FOR yER|TAS CLUB
Mrs. Harring Working Out
Scheme for Regular
Quarters.

What the Veritas Club will do when
Jack Frost has made straw rides bit
too chilly for pleasure and comfort Is
a problem that Mrs. II. K. Harring, its
founder is working out. She Is making
plans to have club rooms where the
members of the club may gather OF
evenings. and learn to sew and use
their hands in other ways. and to read
books and hear others read stories OF
wonderful adventures in the real world
and in fairyland.
Mrs. Harring said at her home, 1896 w
street northwest, this morning, that her
plans were already well defined. and
teered to help her in making q cozy
place for the Veritas Club. whose MEM
bers are enjoying the summer months
by reason of the outings that Mrs. Har-
ring has given them twice a week.
Expects To Have Rooms.
She has not selected the room for the
clubs meetings. but expects to do SO
within few days.
How can anyone help us?" she asked.
We'll. we shall need some chairs and
tables to furnish the rooms with, and
those who happen to have some of those
dItlCleS III SupcIHulty at lneir MONIES
might donate few. That will be a
great help. We shall need volunteer
workers. too. 1t is our plan that the
Veritas Club shall be divided into sew
eral sections of boys and girls, accord
Ing to their age, and one night or more
In the week will be given to each sec
ton. We shall need a worker for each
section.
Pleasure To Her.
81 call them workers, but really
helping the children of the club and
their mothers has been a pleasure
to me. and l am sure 1t will be to
others. The work will be only CIV
ing companionship to the children.
Our wish is to give them some help
full diversion at night. This is espe-
cially needed for some Of the boys"
Mrs. Harring said she hoped to make
the club a large affair some day. She
Will make modest start, however
The club will continue to have rides
into the country throughout Septem-
Der. Mrs. Harring took a large party
