lead over Robert Bacon for the Re-
publican nomination for United States

organization voters.
g. o. II. Leaders Elated

great significance to the success OF
Governor Whitman in winning the
Progressive nomination <or governor
over Samuel Seabury, who was unop-
posed for the Democratic nomination
for that office. The $3.50 districts
thus far counted give Whiteman 9,40S
TO Sea abury's 6,346.
Whitman's victory in the Progressive
primaries proves that the bulk of the
Progressive vote in New York State
will be Republican at the coming ma
tional election.
Governor Whitman was opposed for
denomination in the Republican pri-
maries by State Senator William NJ.
Bennett. Returns from 4,15S districts

Another part of the big plan to meet
high school needs is the erection of a
big Junior high school building on
Allison Hill. 1t is understood that this
will be erected on a large site owned
by the school district.
Big improvements will be made at
the Central high school. which is TO be
used for a Junior high school in the

Nothing will be done. it was said to-

directors adopted the report yesterday

At the special meeting of the School
Board yesterday afternoon the ques-
tion was raised that the junior high
school system may cause more boys
and girls TO discontinue their high
school work than under the present
system.
City Superintendent F. F. Downes
explained TO the members that from
reports in other cities where the junior
system has been tried the interest in
school work increases and a smaller
percentage drop out before completing
their courses. This was considered
carefully. he said. before the recon-
mendauons were made.
The citizens committee was retained
by the board to aid in the campaign
for better high school facilities.

POPULAR LECTURE.

Referring to the part the women of Great Britain have taken in the ser vice of their country. Lord Northcliffe recently remarked that 1t would be impossible to carry on the war with out them. They are running many of our industries" said he, "and their services may justly be compared with those of the soldier" MT. $. s. Me Cure, who has just returned home from a trip abroad, records that the same fact most impressed him during his visit. It has been found, for in> stance, that women are peculiarly well adapted to employment in the hand" ling of the fuses and shells. The del- icacy of their touch makes them more desirable than men in this connection Mrs. Jessica Lozier Payne will lecture at Slater Hall tonight on How the Women of England and France Are Serving Their Countries and Their Flags. Mrs. Payne is particularly well qualified to talk on this subject, for she has just returned from visit of several months in both countries, dur ing which time she studied thoroughly this very subject. It was also her privilege to visit the actual scene of the great battle of the Marne, and to view with her own eyes the results of this fierce conflict.
 In recognition of the accomplish ments of women in hitherto new and untried spheres, it was decided to in clude in this years course a woman lecturer of distinction. Mrs. Payne gives a course of lectures in New York which attracts regularly nearly a thousand subscribers, and because of her proven success in this field the effort was made to secure her for the Slater Hall course.

Madame Petrova, the foremost emo- uOnaI actress in this country, will be seen on the screen at the Breed thea ere today and Tuesday in "The Eternal question" the newest Metro produc- ton in five supreme acts. Madame PetrOva has never had a more exact ing part than the one she essays in this production, nor one which called for dramatic power. She also appears in number of her elaborate and bean tiful costumes such as always adorn her
 The play teens with incidents in which a race between an ocean liner and an aeroplane figure in a thrill ing denOuement. A short synoDsis of the story follows:
 Ralph Courtland and Pierre Felix, in their club, are discussing the ternai question-Woman. Ralph believes that birth and breeding are absolutely necessary to produce a lady, but Felix contends that he can get any woman accepted by polite society simply by giving her a brief training and dress- ing her correctly. A woman with a hand-organ and a nOkey comes to ask for pennies and she is made the sub ject of the experiment.
 The way in which the seemingly simple peasant lords 1t over society as Russian Countess, winning the love of both the men making the wager. the relentless pursuit of her oy the Grand Duke Serdian, and the dashing rescue by Ralph, are told in this thrilling tale of love and mystery. of which the final denouement is the greatest sur prise of all.
 The Breed will also present the Pathe Weekly and 9 very funny Drew comedy completes the bill for today and Tuesday.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
DAVIS THEATRE.
Three Big Keith Acts and Triangle
 Photoplays.

For the first half of next week the management of this popular theatre announce a bill of exceptional quality and variety, both vaudeville and Tri- angle picture are of the highest standard and everyone who sees the show will be repaid for their,time and trouble. The headline act will be presented by Mccormack and Wal lace, two clever performers, who have d unique ventriloquial novelty call ed A Theatrical Agency. This act car ries a special stage setting and comes to the Davis direct from Keiths BQs- ton theatre where they have been a big hit during the past week. An other big time attraction is the AL thoff Sisters, two musical prodigies, who present a refined singing and musical offering that will surely hit the mark with the theatre goers of this city. The third act on the bill is the Alvin Brothers, two muscular marvels who will be seen in a won derful athletic novelty. The Triangle feature is called The Wolf Woman and Louise Glaum (the Triangle vam- pire woman) with Charles Ray are the stars. It is a five part Ince pro- duction and in no previous production has Louise Glaum been gwen such an opportunity to exercise her origin ality in the creation of gowns as that which was affOred her in The Wolf Woman. Tn all she prepared 12 gowns eac hof which is displayed to advantage throughout the action of the play. The gown which is perhaps most appropriate to the character she portrays is the devil gown" so- called because of it's similarity to the robes worn by the generally accepted like nesses of NIephisto.
 To complete the show there is a hi larfOus funny Keystone comedy called Ambrose's Rapid Rise featuring Mack Swain.
