Boom TO Business On The
Road

The August report of the Washing
ton, Baltimore and Annapolis Elec-
trio Line will make showing indica-
tive of what the company has in pros
pect from the establishment of the
cantonment at Camp Meade directly
on its line. From some preliminary
figures which found their way into
the hands of local bankers it was
shown that the gross operating reve-
nue. for August was $155.564, as COM
pared with sSS,9S7 for the correspond
ing month year ago The net sur
plus for the month was $67,S53, as
against $16,S1S for August. 1916, a
gain of S51 1.035 This increase shows
the extent of the traffic to the canton
ment over the line, although the COM
pany has been somewhat hampered in
the prompt movement of its cars by
the construction work being done at
Camp Meade by the B. & O. and the
Pennsylvania, the latter road using
part of the W., B. & A. line for it's
construction trains.

To Offset the disappointment. the

At The Republic Monday.

The feature at the Republic Theater
on Monday will be "Smile Feature"
entitled IAN Amateur Orphan" writ
ten by Agnes C. Johnston and starring
Gladys Leslie, greeted by the New
York newspaper critics as THE Little
Girl With The Million Dollar Smile. .
"An Amateur Orphan" should be
doubly popular because nf the "back
to the land" movement so distinctly
noticeable at thee present time.
Surrounded by every comfort with
everything that money can buy and
loving parents, Marcia longs for play
mates. When they decide to send her
to boarding school she is delighted I'M
I il she learns that it is run on an emf
nently scientific basis and that quoting
from the circular, individusl atten
tion is given to each puril just as
though she were at home" So she
manages to change places with girl
that was going to an orphan asylum.
Farmer Benton, wishing to have
someone to help his wife with her
housework, adopts Marcia. Dave, the
black sheep of the family, finds in her
long needed friend. Through the
newspapers, Marcia learns that her
parents have returned and are search
ing for her. She schemes so that Dave
will receive the reward offered TOR her
return. Later Dave and Dick find
positions in the same Office and soon
both are in line for promotion TO a
higher position, providing they appear
at q directors meeting at eight o'clock
sharp. For q reason which is not
known until the very end, Marcia de-
tains Dave by means of an amusing
little ruse. Why did she play such a
trick on him, There is reason-do
not doubt, and this clean, sweet little
story of youth and ambition should ap-
peal alike to all classes.

with Carlyle Blackwell in a big dual
role, as half brother who look exactly
alike Complication swiftly follow
complication, until the tangled thread
is unraveled in smashing and sur
prising climax. A good two-reel com

SCHOOL LUNCHES
Foods That Are Both Nourishing And
Palafahle.

Don't let the school lunch be mere
ly something which will fill the lunch
box in the morning and be only a
sop to stay the kiddies' appetites from
noon until night Make it a real con-
tribution to the food which the child
rem require to meet the needs of their
growing bodies and active brains
to satisfy. their appetites and keep
them in health.
These are the suggestions of home
economics specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, now
that millions of the future citizens of
the country are again eating their
midday meals from box, basket, bag
or confectionery shop instead of from
the family table under watchful par
entail eyes.
The preparation of luncheons which
will fill the needs of the child's body,
pensive foods or the expenditure of
greater effort, the specialists point
out. In many cases both expense and
work will be lessened. What is need
ed for the preparation of more salts
factory lunches is merely that parents
and big sisters" or whoever fills the
lunch box, shall inform themselves of
certain facts in regard to the choice
and combination of foods. The need
in many cases is for neither more nor
less food but for the representation
of needed food groups The neces-
sary facts are set out plainly in Farm
ers' Bulletin 712, School Lunches"
which may be had free so long as the
supply lasts, by application to the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, d. C.
The following suggestions are
among those made in tho bulletin for

sidering 1t. had not been completed
by the time the morning hour ar
rived, and the matter reverted auto

Despite efforts by Senator johnson to
have Senator Jones say he would call
meeting Of his committee very soon
and consider the amendment Senator
Jones would not pin himself down to
q definite time.
Senator Nelson. Of Minnesota,
agreed with Senator Hollis that the
White House picketing had injured
the suffrage cause.
