A Pleasing Play.
Big Crowd Sees Show Given By
High School.

|
Last Saturday night the play given in
Town Hall by pupils of the Thurmont
High School and under direction of Prof.
H. D. Beachley and Miss Ruth Firor,
was witnessed by the largest crowd of
friends and patrons of the school that
has gathered here for some time.
The advance sale of seats was very
good and together with the sales made at
the Hall the receipts amounted to $1,000
far above what was expected. With a
portion of this money the balance of the
debt on the piano now in the High School
has been wiped out.
The cast was large one numbering
twenty persons. The time for prepare
ton was of necessity short owing to
other work in which the school will short
ly be engaged but the performance was
remarkably finished one for amateurs.
Some of the characters were exception
ally we'll played while all parts were well
taken.
cat the End of the Rainbow" is a
bright and snappy little play with COL
lege atmosphere and gives opportunity
for a stage display of life at coed
college and as such it was well present
ed. Sorority girls, fraternity boys, the
football club, etc, all were represented
and the scene on the stage was often an
animated one with groups of cheering
students with college yells, pennants and
songs. Several pretty love stories run
through the play and there was enough
of the serious to counter-balance the
hilarity and fun. The girls looked ex-
ceedingly pretty in their beautiful CO.'S
tunes which were appropriate to each
act.
A word must be said about the new
scenery which was used for the first time.
1t is very attractive and caused much
favorable comment and with the new
lighting arrangements places our Hall in
the front ranks of towns of the same
size. The auditorium proper has been
greatly improved by coat of paint and
helps in the general change of things for
the better.
An interpolated song by Mr.. Sigley of
the Radcliffe Chautauqua Co., was very
much enjoyed as were the piano numbers
by Miss Ruth Firor, the violin solo by
Master Whitmer Firor, and the instru-
mental trios by Miss Maud Weller and
Messrs Paul Beard and Phillip Rogers
which were played between the acts.

LONDON, April 26.-Several large
English ship-owners are piling up
profits at the rate of $5OO,OOO or over
a month, and one firm at least is re-
ported to have averaged practically a
million dollars month since the be-
ginning of the war.

have had their ships free who have
been able to make money. Some own
ers had their vessels tied up by char

LEATHER AND SHOES
IN NEW LELAND
(By Associated Press.)

WELLINGTON, n. T., April 26.-The
increased and still increasing price of
leather in New Zealand is giving rise
to a considerable amount of anxiety.
Because of the export of hides, in obe-
dience to the attractions of the English
market, the New Zealand price of
leather has been raised five times in
the last two months, and can not yet
be regarded as stable. Naturally the
exigencies of the war resulted in vast
increase of imports of leather into
Great Britain and in this increase New
Zealand bore a part. Ten years ago
the export of hides was comparatively
small, but latterly it has grown rapid
ly, and now it is by no means incon-
siderable, amounting during last year
to $1,79O,S72.
Two years ago, American buyers be.
gan operating extensively in New Zea-
land, the suggestion being then advanc-
ed by local buyers that to conserve
the leather industry an export duty
should be imposed. In view of the in
creased danger of the domestic supply
being shortened by the present exports
it would not be surprising if the de-
mand for an export duty were revived,
Or at least, if the government was ask
ed to take such steps as would insure
to the country a sufficient supply of
leather for its own needs.
In 1913 New Zealand imported foot
wear to the value of $2,OOO,OOO and the
New Zealand factories now yearly pro
duce goods worth nearly $780, 600. In
view of the disturbance of the war
industry by the war demands, the ex-
ira cost of shipment, and the uncer-
tainty of arrival, the local industry has
the opportunity of securing to itself
a considerable proportion of the trade
hitherto done in the imported article.
although there is the danger of the
prospective exhaustion of sole leather.
Since the outbreak of war this has
not been reported from Great Britain
and supplies from Australia are re-
ported to be unprocurable, so that New
Zealand article and such supplies as
may be procured from Canada and the
United States will have to be depended
upon. Tie New Zealand leather, it is
said. does not carry the weight of the
English article, and fears are also
entertained that there will not be suffi-
cient in the country for its needs.

Washington Special Ire war
in Europe had cost the United States
33S2,S31.112 in decreased exports up to
DECEMBER l. 1914. according to a
statement issued by the department of
commerce. Exports to all countries for
the II months period ending with No
vember aggregated s1,S67.99l.492
against s2.25O.so2.6G4 for the like
period in 1913. Despite his showing,
however. the November trade balance
IN favor OF the United States was $50

The November increase showed its
greatest gain in manufactured food

being $4,000 036. against s3S.7S7,6SS in

The most striking demonstration Of
the effect OF the war shown by the
statement is the decrease of Germany's

For Belgium the decrease was from

During the II months period Ger

exports to Germany decreased from

Exports to all countries except Aus

purchases. While the United Kingdom
was he largest customer. taking $G9.-
$50. 297 in American goods during No

a decrease of approximately $11. OOO. 900
from he 1913 total. Italy showed the
greatest increase in November, taking
Sl1,031,134 last month, against 81
I'll, lib in November, 1919.
In the grand geographical divisions

clearly the effect of the war. To Eu-

s1.342. 905. 152 in 1913 and $1,14S. 791 1915
