Movies Omen EYerY NiGht.

The managers of the Photo play
houses have decided to try new
plan in connection with having the
theaters open three nights a week
and that is to have one theater each
week keep their play house open
every night. The Classic was open
last week, the Majectic is open every
night this week and the Orpheum will
be open next week, this to continue
only during the summer months. The
public no doubt will be pleased with
this arrangement.

When the Richmond Concert band
began playing die Wacht am Rein"
at Glen Miller park Sunday afternoon.
It was clearly revealed that . large
part Of the audience were Of German
descent. The applause lasted almost
throughout the entire number. which
was one part of a medley of patriotic
airs from more than twenty countries
in the world.
Next to the applause given Amer
lea" and Dixie" the German air rank
ed high In popularity with the audi
ence. The playing Of this medley of
airs. which ~ arranged by Tobani Is
called Hands Across the Sea-" is the
best that the band has done this year.
The audience, which at all previous
concerts has been somewhat cold,
seemed to warm up yesterday. and it
was evident thta the European war
has struck q keynote even with the
crowds that frequent the park every
Sunday.
The national air of Austria was also
applauded loudly. The airs Of Ireland
and Scotland also struck q sympa.
thetic chord with the audience, but the
national tunes of France and Russia,
which are among the best musically,
did not seem to appeal to the audi
ence.

U. S. TO PURCHASE Z
SHIPS FOR FOREIGN
CARRYING PURPOSE
TRY LEASED WIRE.l

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The id.
ministration will not modify ito plans
to purchase ships for trade during the
European war. despite many reports
that the proposal has been practically
abandoned.
President Wilson declared that pri-
vate capital has made only one pro-
posal to the government and that was
to form a corporation for the purchase
of ships provided the government guar
anteed its bond. This proposal the
president rejected.
He said that there was absolutely no
choice between such q plan and the
government purchase Of ships, be-
cause the latter was much more pref
cradle.
No Competition.
The chief executive added that It
was not the governments idea to COM
pete with private capital but to do
velop trade along lines where capital
would not. because Of small profits.
He said the corporation would be
80 managed by his administration as to
encourage private capital by going into
fields that are not now profitable.
It became known today that all 70
ports that the government had pur.
chased ships and that they would be
used only in the American and ORR
entail trade, are groundless. They are
to be bought with the direct purpose
of carrying American exports to the
warning nations. It was explained in
administration circles that there were
two classes Of contrabands, the abso-
lutte and the conditional, and that food
stuffs were conditional contrabands
only where they obviously were in
tended for the belligerent armies.
Protects Its Vessels.
The United States government will
take care that none Of the vessels fly
ing its flag will be seised for carrying
foodstutYs under circumstances which
could be interpreted - making it con-
ditional contraband.
In commenting upon the present
condition of American shipping. Presi-
dent Wilson states that reports re-
ceived by him show less congestion
of exports In the North Atlantic ports.
and at New Orleans than formerly, but
that the situation at Galveston 10 un-
changed.
The president indicated that he ex-
poets the ship purchase bill to pass
congress within three weeks.

younger teachers the machinery OF the
institute. Fifteen lectures will be

fifteen will profit by having two pei
cent added to her general average.
This institute is unique in the state
Of Indiana l am sure there is moth
ing else like 1t. In this institute you
are obliged to be on hand only three
hours day Other institutes average
six hours. We have the best and high
est priced talent that is offered In any
county of Indiana. DR.. Charles Cal
vert Ellis, whom I have tried to get
for our Institutes, is one of the best
known man in institute work in the
United States.
Wayne county teachers are far
more fortunate than those in other
counties. They are the best paid In
the state. Four years ago they receiv
ed on an average of 81. 62 per day To
day they average $3.4S per day. -Four
years ago the average high school
teacher received 1915 per day. Today
the average is $3.50"
Prof. Williams explained that DR.
W. F. Book, deputy state superintend
ent, has not been able to be present az
