ments of the three publications men
toned in the Indictment.
With the exception OF another wit

rest its case solely on an effort to prove
that the articles containing alleged OBJ

The prosecution he'd that the jury
should determine whether or not the
language was obscene. District Attorney

When Washington Is reached points
of interest, such as public buildings,

there would be one scene showing the

The remainder of the film would in
clude a few scenes on the route from
Washington to Gettysburg. Pa. 1t will
only be necessary to take rev scenes
within Washington, for many of these
already have been made and can be
obtained at little cost. Already have
been offered several good pieces of
film of the finest quality by persons
who have had them taken for lecture
and general exhibition uses.

Il suggest that the films be exhibited
In Convention Hall under the auspices
of the Board of Trade, Chamber OF
Commerce and Retail Merchants AS
ISOLATION. Every member of these or
CARNATIONS would be asked to sell
tickets. Since it Is a scheme for boost
ing Washington all of the ticket sell
ers would become city boosters. The
films could be shown for a week or
more, If necessary. and in this way the
committee could raise enough money
to pay for their manufacture and also
defray the expenses of erecting lie
markers at Philadelphia and Gettys-
burg and along the route of the detour.

After the films have been exhibited
at these places l suggest that letters

fering the use of the films for exhibit
ton purposes at their meetings.

AN ANSWER.-Editor Day Book:
Will you please explain why one can
hear much farther on a lake than on
land.-Mrs. |. G. Mac.
When some one calls to you across
a lake or river the voice will sound
much clearer than if it came the same
distance across the land.
And this is the reason: Sound is
composed of waves of different
length, transmitted through the air.
If these waves strike such obstacles
as trees, houses or hills they break
and their progress is interrupted.
On lake or large body of water
the surface is unbroken, and because
the sound waves come to you unbrok-
en- by obstacles they are clearer and
louder than if they had been inter
rupted by trees, houses or other OBJ
jects.

PUNCHED AT WEDDING.
Trouble at Festivities at House or
 FitchVille Road.

Ese Scoff, Syrian, appeared at po- lice headquarters late Sunday evening with a somewhat battered exterior and complained that he had been assault ed at Polish wedding on the F'itclI- vile road. From the story he told at the police station it seems that he had hired out his house on the Fitchviile road to Polish people for a wedding: celebration on Sunday. The couple were duly married and then the festiv- tiles commenced. About 10 o'clock OF Sunday evening Scoff thought taht his temporary tenants had used the house long enough and as he wished to re . tire he went to the house and asked them if they wouldn't leave the prem ises. This suggestion did not suit the wedding party apparently, for they proceeded to punch him.
 Scof was unable totell who attack ed him Sunday night but the matter will be investigated today and some of the wedding guests will undoubtedly find themselves in the police station before the day is over. -Captain Twomey cot word to Contsa.ble Gard ner of Yantic about the affair Sunday night and the constable went to the house but when he arrived everything had quieted down.
