Musical EveninS.

A small but appreciative audience
greeted Madame Dexter on Monday even
ing at the High School auditorium. Her
subject, "An Evening With The Boston
Musicians" was very interesting, en-
livened as it was by anecdote and story
and by personal recolections of compos-
ers and leaders in the musical world of
Boston.
Much pleasure was afforded the hearers
by Madame Dexter's rendition of the
songs of Mrs. Beach, Margaret Long,
Chadwick, and others. Miss Helen Creag-
er, pupil of Madame Dexter, accom-
panied her in several songs and gave an
instrumental selection. More music of
this character would be pleasure and
benefit to the community.

Morals And The Movies.

Europe is buying more motion
picture film from America than ever
before. This is an excellent branch
of our export trade. 1t does not take
much raw material. 1t gives employ
ment to many grades of labor from
the rough to the highest grade. 1t
distributes money through all the
stages of it's progress from the crude
product to the finished.
Europe finds in the movie" bit
of relief, of relaxation from the long
strain and horror Of war. 1t wants
American pictures, but what an in
dictment of American morals is con-
tained in the report of our Vice. Con-
sui David G. Kerr, stationed at Bir-
mingham, England, who notifies the
Secretary of Commerce that the only
recommendation offered by renting
agents as to any improvements deslr-
ed in American films is request for
less of the sexual problem"
We are so habituated to seeing in
decent plays, suggestive movies"
and women in scant drapery that we
have lost the proper sense of proper
ton morally.

Europe.

Fishing by Telephone.

A strange way of discovering the
whereabouts of fish Is practiced in
some parts or Norway, and the method
was discovered by a clever Norwegian.
A microphone, which Is an instrument
that will transmit the slightest sound,
Is lowered into the water from fish
Ing boat and wire from the micro
phone Is attached to a telephone fixed
in the boat. The operator takes the
receiver of the telephone and places
1t to his ear, ready to signal to the
fishermen when he hears the least
sound beneath the waters, and the
fishing boat is then Immediately
steered In the direction whence the
sounds come. The result is-a splen-
did haul.
AS cod, herring, and mackerel swim
in enormous shoals, their passage
through the water causes a rushing
sound which Is clearly heard by the
fishermen, who Immediately steer in
the required direction and let down
their nets.

He is tramplng out the vintage where
the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of
His terrible swift sword,
His truth is marching on.
| have seen Hin in the watchfires of a
hurdrt d circling camps;
They have builded Him an altar in the
evening deWs and damps;
| can read his righteous sentence by the
dim and flaring lamps,
His day is marching on.
| have read fiery gospel writ in burnish-
ed rows of steel;
GAS We deal with my contemners, so with
you my grace shall deal
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the
serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that
shall never call retreat;
He is sitting out the hearts of men be-
fore the judgement seat;
Oh, be swift. my soul, to answer Him!
b. jubilant. my feet!
Our God is marching on.
In the beauties of the lilies Christ was

As He died to make men holy, let US die
to make MEL free,

SabiIIasviIIe News.

To Mr.. Harold E Law, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Benjamin Law, belongs the honor
of being the first and only man to enlist
from this community since the call for
volunteers has come. Mr.. Law went to
Baltimore last waek and enlisted in the
Marine Corps.
The event of the week here was the
flag raising on Sunday afternoon. The
sixty-fve foot pole, which had be n placed
in position on Friday, stands at the in
tersection of the Emmitsburg and Blue
Ridge Summit roads, at point between
St. Johns Reformed church and parson-
age. Long before the hour set for the
exercises on Sunday afternoon visitors in
automobiles, carriages, and on foot began
to arrive. The day was ideal for an out
door gathering and will long be remem-
bered by the many who were present.
The exercises were opened by Rev. M.
L. Firor with prayer, after which the
audience sang "America. The orator
of the day, Leo Weinberg, Esq, is too
Well known in Frederick county and be-
yond to need introduction Mr.. Weinberg
held the undivided attention Of the audi
ence during his stirring, patriotic ad-
dress. The flag, which was purchased
by popular subscription, was carried by
eight little girls short distance down
the street to the flag pole where it was
placed in position and flung to the breeze,
and the dream of the village, which had
always been nnit in the desire for a
public flag, became happy reality.
Many in the audience arose or stood
quietly in their places during the singing
of the national anthem. We believe it
due more to an error of the head than
the heart that so many failed to observe
this custom and mark of respect to the
flag, which has become obligatory in all
public places in the cities. Mr.. George
Hughes kindly loaned his porch to the
speakers, and being so we'll loca ted, made
an excellent rostrum.
