aIte Some die Herrlichkeit der erie
chen beschienen. war dieser Volks-
stamm der reichste und m;ichtigste der
Erde. Die Perser zeichneten SIGH NIGHT
nur durch Tapferkeit aus, sondern
auch durch WeiSheit und Gelehrsam-
keit. 50 lass uns neben den Waffentha-
ten dieSes Nolkes auch weise Lehren
>iiberliefert wurden. Fine solche will
ich Euch heute erzdhlen.
Ernst kan Elm WeiSer in cine Stadt

sender bek0stige, die Zu linn kamen.
So ging dem auch er hin. Jedoch sein
Kleid war alt und schmutZig und ais

dachte der WeiSe mach, vie er den Rel
chen seines Benehmens wegen beSch;i-
men k0nne. SO Itch er SIGH dem am
n;ichsten Tage Elm neueS und Sauberes'
Kleid und begab Sich abermals in die
Wohnung DIES Reichen. Da kan der
Herr dies Hauses, der SEMEN CAST vom
vorigen Tage NIGHT mehr erkannte,
linn bis yum Treppenstein der Haus-
thiir e%ntgegen, lud Inn Zu einem fest
lichen Mahle Elm und settle Inn bel
TiSch an den EhrenplatZ. Damn wur-
den die k0stlichsten Speisen %aufgetra-
gen. Ais das Essen begann, erhob SIGH
der WeiSe und legte einen Bissen auf
sein Gewand. HOchst erstaunt hier-
iiber fragte der Hausherr:
"Warum thust Du dies?'
"GeStern,' erwiderte jener. kan ich

DEUTSCHLAND TOO wide
TO Get THROUGH Canal

There was some talk today that an
attempt might be made to put one
over" on the allied patrol at the
Capes, by having the submarine
Deutschland reach the ocean via the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
thence down the Delaware river to
Delaware Bay. and out to safety; the
impression being that as soon as the
Deutschland left Baltimore, her de
parture would be signalled to the
Capes and the watching vessels would
close in about Cape Henry and Cape
Charles.
1t was printed out today that the
maximum width of the Deutschland
is more than 30 feet. with her fend-
ers while the locks of the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal at Delaware
City will not permit of passage of a
boat more than q feet wide. Under
these conditions the German sub

ARDEN FOLKS WOULD
BAR KIDDIES' Votes
Think it Time to Let Grown
People Of Colony Decide
Elections There
INCOME TAX ALSO
PROVES A PUZZLE

Shall Buddy" Andrews, 6-year-old
son of Arthur n. Andrews, of Arden,
lose his vote?
This is the question that will be
discussed at a town meeting Of the
Arden folk this evening. Buddy
has voted at every town election in
the Single Tax colony since he was 6
months old, although on several oc-
casions he was asleep when his father
had him cast his ballot.
The practice Of having children vote
on questions of interest to Arden cit
izens is nothing new, but owing to the
increase in population, especially
among the children in what is known
as Sack Town or Kraemer Hill in the
colony. it has been decided to restrict
the right of franchise to all children
under IA years of age. That the chill
dren hold the balance of power in the
village was evident last September
when the three townsmen were
elected. At that time the So
called opposition to the trustees
voted all the Riddles" The re-
suit was so startling that 1t was de-
cided to amend the constitution so
that only children Ia years or older
SnOulO vote.
The proposed amendment will be
fought hard tonight, according to pres
ent indications
Another subject which will cause some
discussion at the meeting viii he the
right of the colony to bear the burden
of the income tax of those living in the
colony. Under the deed of trust and the
constitution, all taxes are TO be borne
by the village from the communal
funds. It is claimed that if anyone
owning a string of automobiles or hav-
ing an income Of a millionaire should To-
cate in the colony the village treasury
would be drained in meeting the income
tax. It is proposed to amend the con
stitution, prohibiting the payment OF
anyone's taxes by the village in a sum
more than the taxable pays into th'
communal fund in the form Of land rent

AT THE MAJESTIC.

A gripping drama in which the
caprices of a spoiled society favorite
nearly wrecked her own life and
that of the man she loves will be
seen at the Majestic today and to-
morrow with Wallace Reid and Cleo
Ridgley in the leading roles. 1t is
"The Selfish Woman" The co-star-
ring of the above stars on the Para
mount program has proved one of the
happiest combinations of the Lasky
company. The Golden Chance" the
first picture in which they appeared
together, scored one of the greatest
successes the photo-dramatic world
has ever seen and the two artists
come in for unstinted praise. In THE
Selfish Woman" Hector Turnbull has
provided them with a story that
gives them both even greater oppor
tunities to show their wonderful abil
ity. The added attraction is the Para
mount-Bray cartoon.
