NORMAL SCHOOL
BILL REPORTED
ON FAVORABLY
House Committee Unanimously in Fa-
vor of Erecting Educational In
stitution in This City.
NOW TO APPROPRIATION BOARD
Representative Pendergast is Much
Pleased With Progress and Feels
Confident Measure Will Pass.

Prospects for the providing of an
appropriation of $4,000 for the es-
tablishment of normal school in Be-
midi were made encouraging yester-
day afternoon when the house COM
mittee on normal schools unanimous
ly voted in favor of the bill for it's
erection, introduced several days ago
by Representative L. G. Pendergast
and several others. 49,.
1t is understood that Representa-
tive Pendergast made brilliant talk
in behalf of the measure, outlining
the needs of a sixth normal school:
the growth of northern Minnesota:
the advantages gained by placing
such an educational institution at
Bemidji with it's fine railroad facili-
ties and central location, and etc.
Mr.. Pendergast's talk held the atten-
ton Of his fellow committeeman,
twelve being present, and the vote
was taken without a least expression
of opposition.
To Be Different Here.
= The bill will now be taken to the
appropriation committee and it is
here. that trouble is expected to be
encountered. On this committee are
several legislators who are opposed
to the establishment of a new nor
NAL. Friends of the measure, how
ever, are confident that it will be
treated favorably and feel certain
that an appropriation will be recon-
mended.
Means Much for Bill.
Should the appropriation committee
act favorably it will mean much to-
ward bringing about it's passage.
In speaking of the normal school
committee report, Mr. Pendergast
said: E-f;+I},
"A majority of the members of the
normal school committee are ~men
from the southern part of the state
and we cannot give them too, much
credit for the justice they have shown
by the action I think that the bill
will be reported out of the house COM
mittee on appropriations favorably
and without amendment of any
kind.
''The situation here seems very en-
couraging for the passage of the bill
and members of both the senate and
house are active in it's support

NEVER HAVEENGLAND'S
men BEEN Drawer"
BY P. M. Sarle.
UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
London.-(By Mail to New York. }
EVERY woman in England who
keeps her home together, and who
keeps smiling face, is helping in
the war;" said Mrs. Winston Church
hill, wife of the first lord of admir-
atty in a speech, opening a social
club for wives and mothers Of soldiers
and sailors in Paddington.
Referring to statement made by
Arthur Straus, M. P, to the effect
that her husband, by heading the ma
rine expedition to Antwerp, had real
ly saved England from invasion, she
remarked: "That is a very great
thing to say of any man, but 1 do not
think it is true. It is your husbands
and sons who are doing it. It is be-
cause of their courage and their faith
fulness and endurance that we are
able to stay at home, away from the
horrible sufferings of France and
Belgium.
Sometimes" she continued, lone
feels as if we cannot bear this war
any longer; but we must go on, be-
cause we are fighting so that it can
never happen again. I hope that
sometimes, when you feel very any,
ious for your dear ones, you will
think of what they are doing day and
night. The feet, although it has
never as yet been in battle with the
enemy, is keeping constant watch;
never for one moment has it relaxed
it's vigil. We must also think of the
men who spend days and nights in the
trenches. In the history of the coun-
try never have our men been Drawer;
never have they fought BETTER
ENGLAND expects that every wo-
man will do her duty" This para
phrase of Nelson's famous order is
the text of an appeal by the National
Council of Public Morals to the wo-
men of Great Britain, particularly the
wives and sweethearts of soldiers and
sailors. Among the signers are many
women of social prominence, includ-
ing the Duchess of Bedford and the
Duchess of Marlborough.
"Woman's duty and woman's
work." says the manifesto, consist
in fighting the armies of disorder,
want, impurity and vice, and it is to
this end that our spiritual forces
must be directed. Lord Kitchener's
admonition to the army on the eve
of the war evokes a feeling of graft
tude in every mother that so high a
standard of English manhood should
have been set before our men,"
The special aim of the manifesto
it is stated is to call upon the women
of the empire to help British soldiers
and sailors to fight the enemies OF
decentralization and drink at home
and to live in such manner as to be-
queath a heritage of health and hap
piness to the children born to the ma
ton.

"HYPOCRITES" WILL

~
"Hypocrites' is a symbolical play
which presents strong appeal to
each and every individual, and like
all morality plays with a purpose are
well received by the theater-going
public. Hypocrites will be shown at

judging from all reports Fox patrons

monk who struggles his way to a
conception Of Truth" in the midst
of a monastery. This conception of
Truth" he carves out in the form
of marble statue of a woman, which
he is permitted by the abbott of the
monastry to exhibit to the people

Saturday evening, Richard III will

This repertoire is the most difficult
as we'll as the most extensive that
has been presented by any American
actor since the days Of Edwin Booth,
and Mr. Mantell's success in the inter-
probation of these great roles has
led to his recognition by veteran
critics all over the country whose
memory extends back to the days of
the old tragedians as the foremost
actor now on the New World stage.
Out of Differences to Forbes r OBJ

gates of the Garden of Truth.
The second scene of the photo
play places the story of souls

setting, with the earnest young pas

scorching denunciation of 'Hypoc-

same Indifference and scorn of 1.-THE

Exhausted and heart-broken, the
young minister sinks into uncon-

This isn't the real name for the

COMEDY PLAYLET
is ON KEENEY'S BILL

While THE Fashion Shop, Kee-
neys special attraction this week, is
of course the big feature of the show
there are other mum bers on the pro-
gram that are deserving Of consider
able praise.
Perhaps the most 1neritorious of
these is 1.-THE New Stenographer,'' the
comedy playlet presented by Manuel
Alexander and company. This Is q
splendidly written piece. 1t has q
good plot, affording many opportun-
tiles for humorous situations the
dialogue is sparkling and the style
most pleasing. The audience likes
this speciality as much perhaps as
anything on the bill, not excluding
The Fashion Shop and the company
presenting it receives a liberal share
of the applause every day. Mr..
Alexander is an actor of consummate
skill and he does much with the
character which he delineates In the
piece. He is supported by some
clever people and the com bination is
one of unusual strength for vaude-
vile sketches.
There is something very appealing
about the act of Mile. Tuttle and her
trained parrots This is a novelty Of
merit. It finds favor with the pa
irons of the theater and is well re-
ceived every day. The. birds in the
act are remarkably well educated
They are trained to, talk seemingly
with almost human intelligence and
the results are astonishing.
The Fashion Shop continues the
talk Of the town. It is New Britain's
first theatrical fashion display and
the idea apparently meets with gem
eral approval. The styles are ex-
hibited by sixteen handsome young
women led by Mabel Gray. a, noted
beauty. The latest creations of the
modiste and milliner's art are shown.
The whole makes an exceedingly
pretty picture even to those not es-
pecia1ly interested in the DEGREES of
Dame Fashion.
Other acts that are finding favor
every day are Virginia Carlton, the
California Nightingale; Whitley and
Bell, singers and comedians and The
Kings, clever musicians.
The Pathe weekly will be num-
bered among the pictures tonight.
