MUSICALE THE NATIONAL FLOWER
MAKES GREAT HIT WITH PARENTS

programme rs graduates from the
eighth grade received their diplomas.
For weeks the children have been
training for the event under the
highly competent direction of Miss
Amy Westcott, teacher of music and
art in the public schools, assisted by
some of the grade teachers, and Miss
Townsend. recent graduate of the
Nye County Normal school. The cast
was drawn from the grades, high
school and Normal. Thanks are due
to the parents who took an active in
terest in helping their children with
their costumes.
When the children appeared in
groups on the stage the effect was
highly artistic, the redundancy OF
color and the cleverness of the con
ceit of attiring three score characters
in costumes representing the floral

proyal of the audience. THE Ma
tional Flower" was announced as a
musical play" but it was more of a
flower carnival. indulging in a riot
of poetic effects in rhyming and
painting. There were weeds, one
lone onion, bunch OF four-leafed
clover. goldenrod, sunfiowers, this
ties. meadow lilies. tiger lilies, day
lilies. water lilies and roses. Every
little actor and actress was dressed
/ in costumes of crepe paper or other
material suitable to the character
and the heads OF all were surmount-
ed by caps or coiffures resembling
the tops Of thistles. daisies or lilies
as the case might be. The ensemble
was very effective and the studious
work Of Miss Westcott and painstak
ing efforts to drill such a number oil
youthful minds so they would grasp
the parts they played could only be
imagined from the infinite detail OF
the construction. The little tots
looked so irresistibly charming in
their cunning garbs that the feminine
spectators had all they could TO re
press desire to catch up the tod
dlers and drown them In kisses and
great wholesome motherly hugs.

Long Sentences.

Ruskin, it is said, has written more
sentences Of inordinate length than
any other classic writer of modern
English prose. Frederic Harrison some
years ago counted the words in num-
Der Of typical sentences, finding that in
the earlier books it was no uncommon
thing for Ruskin to run beyond the
page before permitting himself and his
readers the relief Of full stop, but in
every case the sense is as clear as day.
Wordsworth's poem on the "Charac-
ter Of Happy Warrior" is notable ex-
ample of sustained connections. Apart
from the opening and closing couplets
the poem consists of two very long
compound sentences almost entirely
comprised of adjectival clauses. The
longer Of the two sentences contains
ffty-seven decasyllabic lines. This is

4 aALESoF- MUNITIONS or WAR.

Following the introduction in the
& Senate $of bills to prohibit the ex-
port OF munitions of war by Senator
i Hitchcock OF Nebraska, and Senator
Works Of California, and in the
House of similar bills by Represen-
tatiyea Bartholdt Of Mi ,souri, and
Vollmer OF Iowa. there has been
much agitation of the question as to
the propriety Of this country selling
war material to any Of the beligerent
{ powers. @ K .
1t IS held In some quarters that
our continuing to sell armor, ammu-
milton and other accessories of Of
fensiye warfare discredits our pre-
\ tensions Of entire neutrality and
friendship for all OF. the powers en-
gagged in the war, and for this reason
and also for humanitarian considera-
lions, we should cease to do 50.
On the other hand, 1t is pointed
out that the passage Of such q meas
ure would be in fact breach Of neu-
trality. since the sale Of munitions
4 Of war IS entirely within our rights q
neutral. under all rules Of interna-
tional law, and the cessation Of these
sales would be an act calculated to
hamper such OF the belligerents as
are able, under existing conditions, to
purchase in this market
# The further point is made by those
opposed to these measures that If
we should establish this precedent we
should be barred, in case this nation
were involved in war, from purchas-
ing munitions from neutral power,
and thus would be seriously hamper
cd.
The entire question is delicate
one, inasmuch as the sympathies OF
a large part Of our people appear to
be debating their opinions those swho

being vigorous in favoring the pro-
posed measure because Of the inabil-
ry of Germany and Austria to pur-

tons would be reversed and Ger

For the most part papers which
profess strict neutrality Of opinion
and yet oppose these measures take

should hold ourselves entirely aloof;

may find a market, and take no
stand which might indicate that our
sympathies as a nation are enlisted
