The department holds that Gambling will

his eggs will stand the test as named by
the authorities.

We take the following from a Wheel
ing paper. 1t will be interesting to
know that the woman who started this
enterprise is from Charles Town Mrs.

from a member of her family that on

"Wearied of the usual dime novel,
blood and thunder style of entertain
ment presented to innocent childhood
by moving picture concerns, a number
of New York women have arranged
for special pictures for children to be
given Saturday mornings! Simple

and current events will be shown.
Mothers have been waiting long time
for fathers to do the right thing by the
children in the public amusement line
but now they find that little direct
action is worth more than a lot of in
direct influence"
