THE NATIONAL GUARD

COME of the peace ce-at-any-price"
folks have had the temerity to
raise their voices against the
military training camps of students
and businessmen at Plattsburg. ITS
enough to have the National Guard,
without encouraging the youth of the
land and the flower of its business
organization to lay aside their con-
structive duties and learn the most
approved way to kill their fellow be-
ings," says one of these chronic COM
plainants
Enough to have the National
Guard" Folly, indeed, it is to rely
on the militia alone TO back up the
regular army. The National Guard
of Pennsylvania, at least, is ready
to prove it's mettle any time, but it
is absurd to think of training that
organization to military efficiency by
one week in camp annually, which is
all the law allows. To be at its best
the guard should have more money
and at, least three weeks a. year un-
der canvas and in the field. The
men should be trained to live in all
kinds of conditions of weather and
country. They should have aero
planes and machine guns. They
should be put on a war footing even in
times of peace.
We have the National Guard"
Yes, but we need a much larger
military reserve and better training
and more equipment for that which
we have.

That really I'd made up my mind
That this time I'd not go.
But when the wagons passed the house
This morning with much noise

To go and take the boys"
And then the boys got after me
Around my neck they threw
Their arms. and asked me to take them,
So. what was / to do?

AS TO GRADE CROSSINGS
[Philadelphia Recnrd !

Governor Brumbaugh's desire to
eliminate all grade crossings on that
part of the Lincoln highway which
passes through Pennsylvania is hiehIv
laudable, but the burden ought NOT to
fall too heavily on the State. The
townships or municipalities affected
and the railroads involved should hear
the greater part of the cost. If any
tollgates exist on the highway they
should be abolished also. To most
persons they are a far greater nui-
sance than grade crossings

stage to again G-rt with the laws, of gravity.
 Fournier and his sister give a re- markable exhibition on their cycles. their stunts furnishing plenty of thrills for the audience. Their work is done at extreme hazard and is watched by an audience continually on the alert for accidents, and the siehs of relief are audible when they complete their daring manoeuvers.
 This is but one of the several high class acts on the program. The Arnolds, family of five capable mu- sicians, four girls and their father, the latter acting as director from the orchestra pit, offer refined enter tainment, introducing selections on violins, 'celos and mandolin cello. They are skilled musicians and their concert is of a high order.
 Sol and Nat Fields, supported by a chorus of pretty girls, make a big hit in The Hokcy Pokey Girls" mu- sical comedy which is offered as this weeks headliner. The Fields broth CTS are good German comediens. They are funny team, good bur lcsquers and eccentric cpmedicns They are supported by good chorus and are fortunate in having a reper- tory of up-to-the- minute songs.
 Charlie Don, Scotch comedien, is good entertainer. He tells some good stories and sings in acceptable fash ion. Davis and Nash do some good dancing and also furnish some bright batter.

THE STRANGER' IS
 NEXT LYCEUM PLAY

The Stranger which the Lyccum | players management offers as the next weeks attraction at the Lyceum,
 is a play wnich is bound to please. In the realm of the theater today 1 there is no form of entertainment more. pleasing than the elements to be found in this offering. The at mosphere of The Stranger is filed with thrills and surprises and gen timely clever comedy. The story is one of strong appeal and the motives are elcNating.
 "Thc Stranger is d fellow named Marshall. who as a boy ran about the streets of Banville and was the butt
 of the Scorn and intended humor of
 the boys of the town. He n
 poorhouse waif His principal tor mentor was a chap of his own age
 named Carter, whose father was a judge and a person of influence in the town. Marshall prospcred in larger city, rising to a position Of wealth and influence. He returns to Dan vile for the purpose of acquiring the charter rights for the construction of a railroad between that place and Richmond Marshall keeps the fac of his former residence in the town a secret. The CarterS attempt to Se- cure the same rights that Marshall is seeking To accomplish his ambi-
 tion to secure the rights Marshall sees will be a, means of retaliation for the unkindnesses he was subject ed to as a boy, and, finding that his proposed route requires obtaining cer
 tain property, he notes an opportun ity to repay kindness shown him in boyhOod. The council of the city becomes deadlocked over who the charter will be given, and the mayor casts his vote in favor of Marshall Conspiracies develop and the Carters are exposed and become the victims instead of Marshall. A beautiful love story is interwoven and the culmina- tion is most satisfactory. "The Stranger comes with the stamp of Init" placed upon it by theatergoers all over the country.
 "The Master Mind.' with it's com bination of irresistible thrills and suspense. lives up to all the promises of the greatest attraction offered in a long time and large audiences are testifying to it's popularity.

Undoubtedly the frock with long tunil Is a favorite one. This model flares mos gracefully and prettily and is arranged over a two-piece skirt that Is closed at ths front. The blouse is a perfectly plain one, and the frock altogether Is so simple that it is peculiarly we'll adapted to school and college needs. The combination of ma1 terials shown Is fashionable one, but there are SO many good contrasts offered that there are many variations that can be made. It Is by no means necessary to make the entire under skirt of the ma terial, either, for lining faced to the required depth Is all that Is necessary, and that treatment not alone reduces cost 1t also reduces weight. Like many an- other model this frock can be made per- fectly simple and utilized for the school room or can be made dressy enough for afternoon functions, as the material is varied. In this case 1t Is a school dress. If it were made of charmeuse satin over velvet it would be completely trans formed.
 For the 16-year size will be needed eA yards of material P inches wide, A yards 36, or 3M yards A, with ? A yards of lining material for the skirt and yard of any width for the facing. collar and cuffs. The width of the skirt is I yard and 22 inches.

Lady Augusta Gregory in New York to
 Arouse Interest in National Theater She Is Also Telling About Fairies and Ghosts in Ireland and Folklore in Other Countries-She Has
 Written Plays
(Frances England in the New York
 Tribunel

(Frances England in the New York
 Tribune.)
 A national theater for America is the dream Lady Augusta Gregory hopes to realize before she returns to Ireland. It is her idea that each state in the Union may have it's own local theater, with local plays and players, bringing them up in rota- tion to a central theater in New Y York
 'So many people are interested in it here that l am sure it will come about,' Lady Gregory said, enthus- iastically. She was in her room at the Algonquin Hotel, New York, with her lectures and papers all about her.
 'I have been asked to tell of my experience in helping found the na- tional theater in Ireland, on the pos sibility of an American national thea ter being formed. Is seems to me that it could be done very easily, In each state theater could be es- ta blished as the state tneater.' and on the stage could be acted plays written, with a local setting and and enacted by local players. That is what the Irish national theater is doing.
 "TThe players of each state theator could go to New York once year in rotation and present their plays at big central theater. We take the Irish plays and players to London, or Liverpool, or Manchester, and even 1 over here to this country. It would ] mean such a stimulus to the artistic ] and intellectual life of the people 1 throughout your country.'
 This is Lady Gregory's main inter- est--but she has another, and an un- ] usual one 1t is. It is the folklore of her country. From the lips of itin- erant Irish weavers and tinkers, from l beggars and pedlers, and from her 1 own old tenants, she has collected l her unique "Kiltartan History of l Ireland. Lady Gregory has great 1 faith in the stories her people tell 1 her, and sine has come to tell of their 1 folklore and beliefs
 ] Long Memory Of Ireland's People. , 'The people of Ireland have a 1 long, long memory" she said, remin- i iSccnt'y. ''It reaches far back to the
