AT THE PRINCESS.

It ab depends upon your taste
 which is the big act at the Princess
 for the first half of the week. There
 are so many good things, so many big
 acts, that you will be in doubt after you have seen the show
 One of the best novelties of the bul
 is Don, the wonder horse. No such
 animal intelligence has ever been seen on the stage before, and no
 more beautiful specimen of horse flesh has ever been exhibited. Don's
 inteLligenc and training, though is
 what makes him such a big feature.
 He seems to have started where oth-
 CT educated horses have left off. and
 then gone so far in advance of the usual animal act that you really wonder if he does not possess reason ing power. Few, if any, horses have ever been seen who recognized colors, and numbers called out from the audience yet this wonderful animal never makes a mistake. The final stunt of Bon's that of recognizing and designating the national air played by the orchestra, is a step far in ad- vance in this line, He is certainly the most wonderful horse of all ages
 Flanagan and Edwards, two dap per yaudeyiIlians, have as clever stunt as was ever put over the boards. The opening shows two drowsy vaudeville actors sleeping off last nights spree After a bully line of comedy they finally dress for their act and appear at the theater in nob- by dress suits They give pano- ramic dance in which they offer the different styles of song and dance of of 30 %, l5, 10 and years ago, be- ginning with the White Wings waltz clog and ending with the ineyi- table tango 1t is a mighty clever conception and we'll presented
 DcLeon and Davies, in "Song Hits From the Campus" have a beautiful ana de idedIy attractive song, dance and batter act The dapper young man and the handsome and clever young woman. offer some real novel ties in the way of songs and dances, a bright and catchy number, just the king that leaves you wanting more.
 Van and Carrie Avery in '"The Night Porter a black and white face comedy act, in which the motion pie ture of a negro aviator is one of the big features The hotel porter pro gresses from a bell hop to hero of the air under the careful teaching of his pretty partner and the line of negro characteristic comedy which follows has never been eXcelled.
 Standard Brothers, in "A Study in Strength" sounds like the usual strong man act with display of mus cular development, but it is not. It is one of the niftiest acts of it's kind on the vaudeville stage. You see two decidedly good looking young men, dressed in hobby street clothes, and immediately following you see some to the greatest casting and feats of strength you ever witnessed A leap of fifteen feet and an overhead catch with bare hands, is just one of the 1 features, but the fact that this feat is performed while tightly blandfold ed, makes it a great one This is only ne of a'dozen or more acts the best you ever saw performed by these men.

CAPE COD CANAL

OPENING OF CUTOFF SHORTENS
WATER ROUTE BY MORE
THAN 70 MILES.
(Bu Associated PreSs.)


Buzzards Bay, Mass, July 29.-The
Boston, Cape Cop and New York Ca
nal, connecting Buzzards Bay with
Massachusetts, Bay and enabling coast
wise. vessels to avoid the dangerous
passage around wreck-strewn Cape
Cod, was formally opened today by
August Belmont, of New York, presi-
dent Of the constructing and operat-
ing company. The canal shortens by
seventy miles the shipping distance
between the ports to the north and
the south Of it.
Although the canal has actually been
open from one end to the other since
early this month, no vessels other
than those belonging to the owners of
the canal, have been allowed to pass
| through it. The canal will be open
to traffic tomorrow and will be COM
pleted in all it's details about the first
of October.
The Cape Cod Canal is thirteen
miles long, including a cut through
sand and boulders from Buzzards Bay
to Sandwich, Mass. 1t has a bottom
100 feet in width, shelving out to 300
and 400 feet at the passing points, and
has a draught of 25 feet at low tide
Greater in it's dimensions than the
Suez Canal, as originally constructed
1t can accommodate the largest

Special to The Net0s.
Jackson, Miss. July 29.-The excel
lent reports submitted by the deputy
state registrar to congress several
months ago had a whole lot to do
with the passage of the Randall bill
authorizing a federal appropriation OF
100000 for educational work in the
various states regarding malarial few
ers and typhoid.
DIR. F. l.. Watkins. deputy state reg
istrar, has been paid a high compli-
ment by Surgeon R. H. Won Ezdorf, of
the United States Health Department
forces, who is at present in Mobile.
In letter to DR.. Watkins DR.. Won En-
dorf says his report was the best re-
ceived from any of the southern states.
1t may be of interest to know that
physicians are reporting cases to the
board of health as they have never
done before, owing to the activities OF
the health board in demanding that
laws requiring certain cases be re-
ported, and the efforts of DR.. Watkins
to have the data on hand from which
to compile correct and full reports for
the legislature or the federal govern
ment on demand.
AS an example of how much better
the reports are now than former, one
illustration is to the point. In 1918
doctors in the state reported 14,O55
cases of malaria to the deputy regis
trar, the number covering the first six
months in the year. In 1914 32.184
cases were reported up to July 1, an
increase of 1929 cases reported. 1t
Is believed that heretofore not nearly
all the cases were reported by doctors.
In writing to DR.. Watkins regarding
his report he sent to the federal health
department Surgeon Won Ezdorf says:
81 am greatly pleased to learn of
the excellent reports that you are re-
ceiving. Certainly want to congratu-
late you on the way you are getting
these reports and in particular the
great improvement that you have at
tanned in getting the county health Of

sippi the best we have obtained in any

this week. If you will keep me in

SECESSION
PAPERS ARE RETURNED
BUTLER SAID TO HAVE
SEIZED IT WHEN HE TOOK
NEW ORLEANS.
(Bv Associated Press.)

10Y dooOCtutCU
Washington, July 29.-When the
pending bill passes Congress, provid-
ing for the return Of the ordinance Of
secession of the state of Louisiana to
its native archives, the files of the
War Department will lose one of their
most curious possessions.
No one remembers how the old zinc
tube containing the record of the con-
vention which voted to leave the I'm
ion, reached the Department. The
case bears the simple legend painted
on it's cover:
STATE OF LOUISIANA
Ordinance of Secession
January rs, 1861.
This is the only one of the ten other
similar documents that the govern
ment possesses. Different stories
exist as to the means by which the
relic reached the capitol. 1t is said
that General Butler, when he took
New Orleans, seized all the official
papers he could find and sent them to
Washington. 1t is possible the old
brown tube containing its message
came North with other trophies Of
war.
The parchment is yellow with age
but In excellent condition and perfect
ly legible though some of the sigma
lures are bit faded. The text is
divided into two parts, in English on
the left, and French on the right.
Antiquarians and students of history
have frequently sought permission to
copy the quaint old document, which
reads as follows:
"An ordinance to dissolve the I'M
ion between the State Of Louisiana
and other stated united with her in
the compact entitled The Constitution
of the United States of America
Dissolve Union With States.
I'VE, the people Of the State Of
Louisiana in convention assembled, do
declare and ordain, and is hereby de-
clared and ordained, That the ordi-

came member of the Federal Union,
be, and the same are hereby, repealed
and abrogated; and that the Union

I'VE do further declare and ordain,
That the State of Louisiana hereby
resumes all rights and powers hereto

nance shall remain in force and have
the same effect as If this ordinance
