COMMUNITY CENTER
HOLDS SH.C.L. L.BANQUET
Wilson Normal Association Also
Plans Cooperative Bank.
North Carolina College Will Play

In celebration of what is considered
a great achievement along lines OF
combating the high coast of living,
the Wilson Normal Community Center
Association last night gave a COM
munity supper and dance at the Will
son Normal School.
Incidentally, it was the first COM
munity supper ever given by any like
organization at any OF the schoOlhouse
buildings In this city, and one of the
main reasons for the distinction noted
exists in the fact that it was in honor
of the adoption OF a constitution and
system of organization of departments
Of activity in the form of a co-operat-
ing buying club and community bank,
just established.
Henry Z. Jackson. special agent of
the United States Bureau of Educa-
tion. conceived the idea of unity of
action in this respect. and at the re-
quest OF the Board Of Education was
assigned to the work or organizing
community centers throughout Wash
ington with the buying part as the
chief feature Of his work.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley was one of
the principal speakers at the COM
munity supper last night. He ex-
pressed himself as in sympathy with
the movement. Other speakers were
Mrs. Frances c. Axtell, of the United
States Compensation Commission;
DIR. l.. F. kebler, A. NJ. McDermott
Miss A. E. Goding. principal of the
Wilson Normal Schol, and vice presi-
dent of the association. and Mrs. Ida
A. Kebler its secretary.
+. c. Snyder. president of the Will
son Normal Community Center. was
toastmaster.

C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FIN GERS|

You simply say 20 the drug store
man, Give me a quarter of an ounce
OF freezone." This will cost very
little, but is sufficient TO remove
every hard or soft corn from ones
foot.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn should relieve the sore
ness instantly, and soon the entire
corn, root and all. dries up and can
be lifted out with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet Of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man. who says that. while freezone
is sticky, it dries in a moment, and
simply shrivels up the corn without
infiaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin.

Fuel Chiefs Say Italy's
Coal Orders Are Filled

The Fuel Administration last night
denied knowledge of a coal shortage
in Italy. If there is one, it was said,
the administration could not be held
responsible, as it had filed all re-
quests for coal coming from Italy.
DR.. II. A. Garfield, Fuel Administra-
tor, said he had not heard of any de-
lay in shipments of coal to Italy
The normal rate of shipments to the
Itlians has been 100000 tons monthly,
but in recent months this has been
increased by 1900 to 5000 tons. II
there is any delay IN getting the coal
off the piers, it was said, shipping
shortage must be held responsible.

Brides-to-Be Not Pen Shy
At Marriage License Desk
Col. Kroll, However, Has to Help Prospective
Bridegrooms Who Leave the "Onlest"
Hiding Outside.

in together for a license the bride-to-
be has taken the pen from the groom
elect without any questions and filed
out the blank herself. 1t wasn't be-
cause the woman was in a hurry; 1t
made her nervous to see a mans
hand shake like he had the palsy at
such an important time.
Men spell their names wrong and
give their ages wrong. Not from in
tention; just sheer nervousness. II
some one interrupts the license is apt
to look like a European battlefield.
Sometimes the male applicants can't
see the lines at all and writing looks
like a kites tail. They put the wrong
thing on the right line, yet the ques-
tons asked on the blanks are very
simple.
The time required to fill out one of
thes important pieces of paper varies
more than one might suppose. Some
men and women do il in one minute
Others take half all hour. Not that
these slow ones cannot do better, but
they make as hard a job of it as
digging a trench
Each line is laboriously gone over
Sometimes a man will use three or
four blanks before he gets one made
out right and the government foots
the bill for the paper.
Even after an applicant has taken A.
long time to make out his or her ap-
plication. Col. Kroll will have to ask
as many questions as there are on the
blank.
In their excitement, men have for
gotten the name and age Of the bride.
Every once in a while a man will
go out in the hall wher his shy little
brlde-to-be is waiting and ask her her
age for the steenth time.
IL man forgets his own name. age
or addses he is forgiven by Col. Kroll.

SAVING SUGAR

Twin Falls Times Noting Mr.. HOov
er's request that the American people
save sugar, many conscientious persons
will cut down from two Jumps to one
for their morning coffee. Even lump
a day from everyone would make big
difference. Where we consume over
four ounces day each, the French
have now less than one, and are not
likely to get that for long. But as
usual, probably the persons who use
sugar the most freely, will be the last to
heed the call for economy.
The persons who should listen to the
appeal are those who pile sugar in their
coffee until the humps reach up even
with the edge Still more, persons who
keep boxes of candy open on their
tables and munich it necessarily, should
heed this call. There are some who
take candy to bed with them and tuck
in a few humps before they go to sleep.
They keep it within reach and take
more in the morning to dispel the bad
taste that comes from what they ate
the night before.
Also the crowds of chattering persons
who lam into the soda fountains and
ice cream parlors and gulp down no
end of sweet stuff, aren't doing much
tn belp win the war. Too much sugar
STILES the distinctive taste of any food
product. Many have acquired the SEN
sible habit of eating cereals and drink
ing coffee without sugar, and ike them
all the better.

THE TAX ON THEATERS

Spokesman Review: Among the in
teresting and inclusive war taxes that
will become public property next month,
the 10 percent levy on theater tickets
attracts as much attention as any. The
theater manager is saved the trouble of
passing the tax along to his patrons by
provision of the law that the ticket
buyer must pay the tax himself. There
is nothing to prevent the theater from
assuming the burden, but there is like
wise nothing in history to indicate that
the theater is likely to do any such
thing.
The theater tax is so arranged that
nobody escapes. The buyer of pair
of box seats at $3.50 each will pay the
government so cents for his evening s
entertainments The gallery denizen
will pay ) cents. Even the inveterate
holder of free passes will for once find
himself paving real money to see a
show, for he must contribute 10 percent
of what his seats would have cost him
had he paid for them at the box office.
Children under II must pay tax of l
cent each, no matter where they sit.
Theater employees and policemen and
firemen on duty pay no taxes, but that
is on account OF the assumption tnau
they are not on hand primarily to enjoy
themselves.
There is to be one taxless refuge for
the amusement seeker, ana only one
That is the Scent movie. The 10-cenl
movie and the plutocratic 25-cent one
must pay their taxes, but the jitney
show, the nickelodeon, the playhouse OF
the proletariat, is left alone. The Scent
movie is the grand opera, the melo,
drama, the musical comedy and the
problem play, all rolled in one, of the
poor wherefore it escapes all war taxa
ton. Yet there are still some who say
that the poor man must pay for this
war.

Whom Thermometer. Differ.

Why does a weather bureau Their
mometer show lower temperature. in
hot weather than the thermometer at
the corner drug store? asks the Popu-
lar Science Monthly. When discrepan-
cies exist they are due chiefly to the
fact that the official thermometer is
installed In a wooden cage, where it is
open to the air, but screened from both
direct sunshine and the heat reflected
from surrounding buildings, etc. Only
under such conditions does thermom-
eter measure accurately the tempera-
ture of the air. A thermometer In the
sunshine becomes much hotter than
the air around it, and Its reading SIM
ply tells us how hot the instrument Is,
not how hot the air is. In large cities
the weather bureau thermometer is Of
ten installed on the roof Of a high
building, where the temperatures differ
somewhat from those prevailing at the
street level. The object sought in this
arrangement is TO obtain a record OF
the natural temperature of the locality
In general rather than the artificial
temperatures of the city.
