ter Field This Afternoon
Other Local and Personal Notes
Gathered About Town

The second annual exhibition of the
Clark Grammar and High schools
tooks place Friday afternoon and eve
ming. Both kthe afternoon and evening
sessions were attended by a large
number of friends and parents of the
students, and in every respect the ex-
hibition was far more successful than
its predecessor.
In the afternoon the program was
confined to just the exhibition of work
done by the pupils during the past
year. The exhibition was held in the
respective school buildings. The work
on exhibition was actual work done
by the students and not especially
prepared material for the occasion
Everything pertaining to the present
educational system in use by the
schools was represented by some work
that was really work of art Much
credit is due the teachers as well as
students for the rather remarkable
display of the materials.
In the evening a very attractive lit
tie program was rendered in City hall.
Especially god was the Holiday Car
nival' in which Carol Whittier, Helen
Harris, William Sheehan and Philip
O'Brien starred. The violin solo by
Philip o Brien and the mandolin solo
by Frances Tilden were executed in
capable manner. The grafton, "Tous-

two democracies of western Europe,

The publication of official figures to
prove that London is drinking more
reminds one how careful the authori-
ties were in the past lest the Londoner
should miss his full share of ale. In
the sixteenth century, for instance, the
brewer who ceased to brew was faced
with the loss of his business. Thus,
if the mayor got wind of any of the
saide brewers, of their frowarde and
pervcrse myndes, shall at any time
hereafter sodenly forbeare and as
steyne from bruyinge, whereby the
kings subjects should be destitute or
unprovided of drynke," he knew ex
actly what to do. The city council was
empowered to take over the business
as a going concern and to take meas
ures to see that it was kept going.
The cry then and for centuries after
was all for beer. There is a record
of a petition of 1878, for instance, pray
ing that tea, coffee, and brandy be
banned The petitioners reasoned that
the laborers needed good strong beer
and ale" which refreshed their bodies
and neither did them prejudice nor
hindered their work. Besides, 1t cost
little, and was the product of home
grown grain, whereas the neW-fangled
drink was expensive and destroyed his
majesty's subjects, mot agreeing with
their constitution. london Chronicle.

WAR TALK IS HOT
|. At MEXICO CAPITAL

MEXICO CITY. Apr.l 2j.--The
Mexican capital awaited with intense
interest today the ueNt word from
Washington in reply the refusal of
Provisional President llucrta to com
ply with the demand of the United
states.
All the morning papers published a
lengthy statement by the Mexican
foreign minister Senior Portillo y
Roias, outlining the reasons for the
position General Huerta had taken
namely, that the American flag was
not flying on the boat when the blue
Jackets were arrested on shore at
Tampico. that, therefore, the flag had
not been insulted, and that compli-
ance with the demand for, an uncon-
ditional salute would be humiliating
to Mexico.
This statement was followed by a
statement from President Huerta adj
vising MeXicans to refrain from dem
ostrations which might embarrass
possible future negotiations.
Many American residents have
made preparations to stay in the
Mexican capital, whatever be the out
come of the present crisis, unless they
are ordered to leave by the Mexican
authorities. They express belief that
they will not be harmed in any even
