AUTO
Which Figured In Accident
Completely Demolished
Vim 8rining Passed Comfort
able Night At The
Hospital

The automobile owned by Charles
Smoots, which went into the ditch
near Alexandria early Friday morn
ing and injured several Mt. Vernon
men. was SO badly damaged that
many new parts will be necessary.
The engine was uninjured, but the
bed was demolished, the tenders bent
and twisted and the lamps crushed in.
The top was also demolished.
The Newark papers state that all
the occupants Of the car had mar
row escape from death at the time of
the accident. The men were all pin
ned under the automobile and it was
20 minutes before anyone was able
to extricate himself. Smoots was the
first to get out and he assisted the
others. 1t was necessary to secure
fence rails and pry up the machine in
order to release William Brining.
The clothing of the men was saturat-
ed with gasoline and there was dan
ger that this might ignite at any time
from the oil lamps.
A message from he Newark hospit-
al, Saturday afternoon, stated that
Brining passed comfortable night,
although his condition is considered
serious.
The others injured at the time OF
the accident are improving.
A more careful examination has re-
vealed that Brining's hip was not frac-
tured, as was first reported, but that
it was merely badly bruised. He suf-
fers acute pain from his punctured
lung, but the other injuries are not
serious.
The greatest danger that attending
physicians fear is slight attack of
pneumonia, owing to the condition OF
his lung. He is kept wrapped in ice
to avoid this as much as is possible.
An examination will be made short
ly which will bring to light any inter
nal injuries. At present, there is nc
ground in particular for believing that
these exist.

Girls, Basket Ball

The girls gymnasium classes and
basket ball teams are progressing
nicely. Each afternoon, after the
gymnastics under Mr.. Hagaman's di-
rection, basket ball games are played
between the different classes. A few
weeks ago, 1t was thought that the
Juniors and Freshmen had the best
teams, but since the Sophomores have
twice defeated the Freshmen this
week, they have been elevated to that
honor. All of the games are very
closely contested and some excellent
players are being developed. Tenta-
tive teams were chosen Friday to rep
resent each class in tournament
which will be held in a few weeks.
However, any girls who shows up
well in the plan next week and who
has not already a place on one OF
these teams, may take the place of
another player who does not show up
So well. The following is list of this
weeks scores:
Monday-Sopohomores 10, Juniors
a.
Tuesdays Seniors T. Freshmen 4.
Wednesday, Sophomores 12, Jun
iors 10.
Thursday-F'reshmen g, Seniors Z.
In looking over these scores, it may
be seen that usually all the results
have been very close, 50 that when
the tournament is played in a few
weeks, the games should be very ex-
citing.

outline
OF The Program For The Mt,
Vernon May Festival
Evan Williams To Appear
On The Evening Of May 10

There has been considerable inquiry
as to just what entertainments and
just who will sing at the coming May
Festival.
The complete program is now being
made up by the music committee and
will be published on completion; but
some idea of its character and strength
can now be indicated.
Tuesday evening, May IS, at 1880, a
children's chorus, of over 800 voices,
will render several choruses and also
"The Fairies Festival" cantata for
children's voices by Prof. Aiken, di-
rector of music in the Cincinnati
schools. This will be under the di-
rection of Prof. r. A. Chubb, who has
been working with the children the
entire school year in preparation for
the event. Also during the evening will
be heard Miss Saba Doak of Chicago,
the soprano artist, engaged for the en-
tire festival. This will be almost the
first opportunity Mt. Vernon has had
to hear trained chorus of children
and it is certain that when this enter
tainment is heard there will be de-
mand that it have a permanent place
in the program of future festivals.
Wednesday evening, May 10, at 500,
there will be the Artists Recital follow
ed by Mendelssohn' beautiful Hymn
of Praise" given by the artists and the
festival chorus. In this concert will
appear, and in both parts, Mr.. Evan
Williams, Americas greatest concert
tenor, who has made himself famous
the country over by both his concert
appearances and Victrola records. Mrs.
Forest Crowley, a very prominent So
prano and Miss Saba Doak will also ap-
pear.
Thursday evening, May 20, at 8, will
be given the final entertainment; Han
del's great oratorio "The Creation"
The soloists will be, Mr.. Charles w.
Clark, the distinguished baritone Of
Chicago. Mr.. Clark ranks with Mr..
Williams, and there is no question
that he is the greatest baritone ever
heard in Mt. Vernon, and his coming
is looked forward to with the greatest
anticipation. Mr.. Warren Whitney Of
Cleveland, tenor, and Miss Saba Doak
as the soprano, complete the list OF
artists for 1.-THE Creation"
The adult chorus this year will ex.
ceed 100 voices. 1t has been working
faithfully since October In preparation
for the festival, and will create an Inn
preston more favorable than in form
er years.
With such artists, program and
choruses the artistic success of the
festival is assured. 1t only remains
for the music lovers of Mt Vernon to
get behind the enterprise and push II
through to financial as we'll as a
musical success.

Instructive Trips Being Planned

after Easter vacation. The classes
will visit the dairy farm and in this
way see how dairying is carried on.
Also, the chemistry classes, under
the direction of Mr.. Dyer, will visit
the ice plant. This trip is expected to
help the students in their work to a
very great extent.
