SEASON In AMERICUS IS
ABOUT At The Finish
Nothing More at Theatre But
Pictures

Americas play-goers are now set
tied down to an exclusive moving pic
ture diet until the opening of the
next theatrical season in October. No
other plays are booked for this season
and but for the moving pictures there
nightly the opera house would be
quite dark for several months.
But Americas likes the pictures.
They are good, always, and there are
no vain regrets that the real show sea-
son is officially ended.
Play-goers here saw several really
good attractions, and the season just
ending was fully up to the average.
Manager Gortatowsky and local Man
.ager Willis Morgan sent the best that
would book here.
Americas, like Atlanta, ought TO
have something in the way of light
summer attractions.
Atlanta will have three or four thea
tres running all summer, the largest
number in her history.
The Forsyth, home of vaudeville,
will run steadily through; the Grand
opera house will present the Bunting
Stock Company for the season; the
Lyric will play popular prices, and
there is likelihood that the Casino
at Ponce De Leon park will be utilized
in some way
The stock company at the Grand
has already begun splendidly sue
cessful season. Clyde Fitch's Girls
is presented there this week. VIII

COUPLE DANCE
With MASKED FACES
Revelation Brought Suit for
Divorce

New York, April 12-Special Master
in Chancery Samuel Ayres, in Newark,
yesterday filed a report recommending
that Otto Pohle be granted divorce
from his wife, Carrie.
1t developed during the trial of the
suit that Pohle attended a masquerade
ball a few years after his wife had
left him. He was masked, and from
among the masked women on the floor
he invited one to dance with him. She
accepted; they had several dances to-
gether, in fact, were in each others
company for nearly three hours, one
apparently charmed with the other
Then came the supper march and
[Pohle took his dance partner to the
banquet hall When masks were re-
moved there was an exclamation Of
surprise by both, for Pohle discovered
in his fair friend his own wife, while
she, of course, discovered her congen-
ial companion was her husband.
In some cases there might have been
a reconciliation then and there, but It
was otherwise in this case. Both
broke away in opposite directions, and
that proved to be their last meeting.

Boston, April 12.-With his foot
wedged between the rails at Riverside,
Gilbert McCluskey, aged nine, saw a
passenger train running in his direo-
ton. Realizing that it meant sure
death for the locomotive to reach
the point where he stood, the boy
waved a newspaper frantically in the
air to attract the attention of the en-
gineer.
The engineer appeared not to see
him, but suddenly the locomotives
whistle shrieked, the brake shoes
clamped the wheels and the en-
gineer was seen leaning out of the cab
measuring the distance be-
tween his engine and the boy with his
eye. IA moment later the train stop
ped short distance from the lad.
The danger over, McClusky fell in n
faint on the tracks. Willing hands
soon raised him In few minutes he
regained consciousness and was taken
to his home in Newton.

GRACE DARLING AND
COURAGEOUS MAIDENS

all thought of fear. The mother help
ed to launch the boat containing the
husband and daughter, and, with al
odds against their safe return, they
put out.
The world knows the result. i
seemed a superhuman feat. And in It
does there not seem more than the
to help in an emergency. Does it not
suggest the presence OF reserve force
to help n an emergency Does it not
hint at the presence of invisible but
ever-present power of good ever ready
to aid when we are working in the
cause of good? That is, when We get
in the current of good, so to speak, We
get into a force outside of ourselves
that helps US in the efforts We are
making.
Grace Darling normally had not the
strength to row that boat as she did
for mile over a raging sea and then,
with nine passengers, a mile back to
the beach. unsupported reserve
strength undoubtedly came to her aid.
We say it was the excitement of the
moment. But excitement is not sus-
tanned strength for hours. Unusual
Judgment was needed, too, to handle
the boat in such a sea She and her
father had to work as one, and, in. the
extreme dangerousness of tilt was a
new experience to her. So that some
ability beyond normal was hers.
There is inspiration in this thought,
and SO when We gaze at the stained
glass window in honor of Grace Darl-
ing and all courageous maidens in the
cathedral at Liverpool, we not only
can reverence the courage Of this
heroic girl, but we can rejoice in the
thought of unseen but ever-ready help
for all who undertake a noble work.

OF AMERICA" NEXT
Girls to Organize Like Boy
Scouts

New York, April 1.-THE Boy
Scouts of America are not to have the
heritage of the woods and fields, the
lakes and streams, all to themselves.
There is a movement we'll under way
for the organization OF the Camp Fire
Girls of america which will lead young
femininity afeld in a healthy, Wo-
manly way, and give the girls chance
10 become acquainted with nature in
its most enticing guise. The temper
airy plans now being made may de-
velop into a national movement BY
autumn.
Several meetings Of prominent men
and women have been held at the Hor-
ace Mann School, this city, and a tenn
porary organization formed Mrs Mary
Schenck Woolman of Teachers Col
lege is chairman of the committee.
Mrs. Charlotte j. Farnsworth, wife of
Prof. Charles H. Farnsworth. is sec
rotary. Others interested in the work
ars Mrs. Ernest Thompson Seton,
wife of the Chief Scout Of the Boy
Scouts of America; Mrs. Elergerton
L. Winthrop, Jr., Miss Lima Beard, sis
ter of Daniel c. Beard, founder Of the
Sons of Daniel Boone and one of the
founders of the Boy Scout movement
and DR.. Anna Brown of the Y. W. c
A.
The movement seeks to encourage
greater interest among girls in eX
ercise in the open, with the threefolC
purpose of developing their bodies
minds and characters. 1t recognize:
that the activities provided for girl:
must be fundamentally different from
those of the boys and that special at
tention must be paid to the home.
Mrs. Farnsworth said yesterday
From girls in all parts of the coun-
try comes this question to those en-
gagged in the Boy Scout movement:
What is there for the girls that cor
responds to the Boy Scout movement
To consider these demands We have
formed this temporary organization,
which will probably grow into some
thing permanent by fall, if the sum
mer's program works out well The
founders of a movement for girls
should consider the womanly qualities
and provide forms of expression which
do not merely copy those of the boys,
but which brings out the fundamental
fact that throughout all the ages wo-
man is the conservator of the home,
whether the fire is camp fire out Of
doors or the hearth of a dwelling"

To appreciate fully the courageous
deed of Grace Darling, the spirit Of
her times. her environment, and her
own Temperament must be considered
Women are today perhaps no more
courageous than in the days Of Grace
Darling, but they are better able to
translate their courage into action.
They ride, shoot, canoe, climb noun
tains-do all those things which give
them physical strength and train them
to be quick and resourceful. In addi-
ton, public opinion is with them in
this sort of life. And that in itself
helps
These We're not the conditions of
Grace Darling's times. Women hunted,
perhaps, in England then. But they
Gid not generally lead the active. out
door, independent life of the women Of
today. To step forward, therefore, and
do what Grace Darling did, stood for
more then than it would today. Not
that it would require less real cour-
age, for it actually meant facing death.
But it probably would be easier TO-
day for a woman TO decide to do it.
She would have back Of her a differ
ent training, a different outlook for
such an act.
Grace Darling was of modest
retiring disposition. She had lived a
quiet, homelike life Yet in one in
slant, her spirit scared above her nat
ural inclinations and home training
and was controlled only by the desire
to rescue those in danger.
The men of the fishing village felt
! il useless to make the attempt. Even
her father was fearful But through
the glass she had seen the agony on
the faces of those clinging to the
wreck, and that sight swept from her

The program for the convention OF
the Georgia-Florida Nut Growers
association has been almost completed
With the exception of certain minor
details, the principal features of thl
two days session have already been
arranged.
Mir. H. W. Smithwick, president of

completed. A number of the most
noted speakers on the subject of nut
growing from all sections of the ma

The convention will be in session
for two days, May Is and II. The
program of entertainment will include

TO whom it must be sent before it is
finally announced.
