< PARK THEATRE

Those, whose la.ug ughing muscles need lots of exercise, will do good to bend their way towards the Park Theatre, Thursday, Friday and Saturday during the new week where George Stone and Etta< Pi1Iard will entertain in con- junction with Social Maids.',s.s
 No, greater fun feast has ever been constructed. While Stone has been a recognized star for years, Miss PiIIard has come to the front with a most wonderful rapidfty and her starring engagement was predicted by all those, who witnessed her clever, eccentric and grotesque comedy in the Social Maids" show during the past season.
 Billy Baker, Marty Seamon, Billy Foster, Jack Pillard, Jessie Hiatt and the four Haley sisters are among the principal support of Stone and Pfl1ard.
 The attraction is new, the plot is new, scenery and costumes are like wise and of unusual spIendor but above all, the feminine chorus of thirty will be one of the predominant ing features, especially when the girl ies present themselves in the gorgeous wardrobe provided for them.

TWELVE HAVANA BLOCKS
 ARE UNDER QUARANTINE |
 IN BATTLE WITH PLAGUE

Havana, April 14-Dr. Juan Gutter as, the Director of Sanitation, has or dered that twelve blocks of the com mercia1 district of Havana be closed for several days pending Immigration with hydrocyanic acid and a thorough destruction of rats.
 While the commercial losses will be enormous, such radical methods are considered necessary if the plague is to be rooted out.
 The twelve blocks extend consider ably beyond the places where plague cases have been found. It is thought that if the f1eas and rats are exter- ninted in this area the fight will be successful.
 There was no definite new plague case today and but one suspected case.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH ~, 1914
ARBOR DAY.

Arbor Day was first observed in this
country by the school children of a
Western State more than forty years
ago. From a small beginning in a
treeless State the idea spread, until
now 1t ID a day regularly set apart
each spring not alone in nearly ali
OF the States, but in many foreign
countries as well.
The Governor has designated Friday
April 3rd, as Arbor Day in Maryland
and much good can be accomplished
i'm the right direction, and valuable
lesson conveyed to the children in
the public schools, where it ID prop
erly observed. The State Board OF
Forestry recommends the planting of
useful trees on that day. The shade
and protection afforded by few
welI-placed trees or belt Of trees adds
much to the attractiveness Of tn
school yard, and comfort i'm all
seasons to the school itself. Trees
planted on that day should not be
forgotten when the exercises are
over, and allowed to die through neg
lect, for given careful attention they
serve as object lessons in usefulness,
and the children will watch their
growth from year to year with inter
est and satisfaction.
But Arbor Day in Maryland is not
alone a day for tree-planting, import
ant as that is in itself 1t is a day
when children should be mcde better
acquainted with our native trees and
their use to US, not alone the trees
which shade and ornament the city
streets and country highways, but
the forest itself.

MARYLAND Day at Westminster High
School.

I'm accordance with the custom in-
stituted by the State Board Of Educa-
ton about ten years ago, last We'd
nesday, March rs, was celebrated as
Maryland Day in all the high schools
of the State. Each year a special
topic is selected by the State Super
intendent of Schools for study and
discussion at the Maryland Day cele-
bration, and a speaker il appointed
whose address il always the CHIEF
feature OF the occasion The topic
selected for this year was Our His
toric Metropolis" At the Westmins-
ter High School exercises were held
in the Assembly Hall, beginning at
200 D. m. AL the pupils of the school
from the fifth grade up were present
at the exercises and suitable pro
gram consisting of irecitatiOns and
music was rendered by the students.
The address was delivered by the
Rev. w. l.. Seabrook. Mr.. Seabrook
is thoroughly conversant with Mary
land history and his instructive and
inspiring address was listened to
with great interest by both teachers
and pupils. "A picture, which each
year IL given by the principal to the
room having the best attendance On
Maryland Day was awarded to the
eighth grade, whose average attend
ance was 97A per cent.

CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP.

The early adventurous birds, the
position of the sun and thousand
less obvious but quite as certain signs
of spring are at hand. Spring
means, or should mean, house clean
ing, and not only house cleaning, but
yard cleaning, street and alley clean
ing. painting, furnishing; it should
mean order and harmony and beauty
So clean up and paint up.
"Oh, yes, whose payin' We to adver-
tise some feller's paint?" sneers our
omnipresent knocker friend We
might answer that it is none of his
business, but we don't have to do that.
We're advertising everybody's paint,
just as we advertise everybody's soap
and underwear and clearly and de-
cent outer garments. People ought to
keep themselves clean. Health de-
mands that we do that; and we can't
keep ourselves clean without soap
and water and towels and the ordi-
nary toilet cOnveniences. We can't
keep our yards and lawns clean IN
less we use mowers, and rakes, and
shovels. We can't keep our streets
and alleys clean unless we have the
men and the tools and the inclination
to keep them as they should be kept.
Clean UP and paint up. That il
civic prescription that il worth while.
Cleanliness is akin to goodness. You
have heard that enough to convince
you of it's truth, but we sometimes
overlook truth by reason of its sheer
familiarity, or at least fail to profit
by 1t as we should. Clean houses,
clean lawns, clean streets, clean
alleys, clean outbuildings-that con-
dition means health and comfort and
aesthetic pleasure. Dirt and tawdry
negligence indicate decay and shift
lessness; they invite disease; they
are ugly. offensive, unnatural.
With the coming Of the bluebirds
every yard should be thoroughly
cleaned; all rubbish should be carted
away and destroyed. Pick up and dis
pose of things. Be clean outside the
house and inside the house.
When you have done that, begin to
paint UP Never mind, W. don't care
whose paint YOU use, but use paint.
Paint makes old things appear as
new. Paint is sanitary and preserva-
tive. Paint is not only luxury, but
a necessity.-Dayton Herald

New Turbine Liner.

The new German ocean liner Ad.
miral Won Tirpitz, just launched at
Stettin to ply between Hamburg and
the Panama canal zone. is the first
large vessel to employ the Foettinger
turbotransformer in place of the usual
turbines. Steam turbines give their
best service when operated at a high
speed, but the number of revolutions
of the ships propeller must not exceed
a certain limit. To reduce the speed
of the turbine in order to accommo-
date it to the speed Of the propeller
means a considerable loss Of energy.
Doctor Toettinger's transformer, how.
ever, transmits the motion OF the tur-
bine to the propeller shaft by hydrau
lie Intermediary. whereby the turbines
can be operated at high speed while
the propeller does not exceed its limit
of revolutions. The loss of energy Is
only ten per cent. Besides there is
freedom from noise and vibration.
