SCHOOL SUGGESTIONS

The Star is informed there has
been no fire drill at the Ocala high
school this season. The fire gongs
are out of order and two attempts to
fix them have resulted in failure. This
is a matter that should be attended
to at once.
The students of the Ocala high
school are doing very well with their
drill, but the boys should have dunn
my guns, so they can learn the man
ual of arms. The Star is informed
that good dummies with straps can be
purchased for $3.50 apiece, and the
school board should procure at least
fifty, which would enable the boys to
drill in reliefs.
We think it would be mighty good
thing for the girls, when they have
become proficient in evolutions, to
obtain brooms, form a Groom bri-
gade," and give a broom drill enter
tainment for their library or some
other school purpose. A number OF
years ago the performances of broom
brigades were very popular entertain
ments in various party of the coun.
! try. We think such an event prop
erly managed would create a great
deal of amusement and draw a large
crowd.

COAST SHIPPING HELD UP BY SCARE
New London Feels Effect of German
 Submarine's Appearance.

The firing on the U. s. S. torpedo destroyer Smith by a German subma- rine substantiated the report that hos tile submarines were along the coast. All along the seaboard boats of all kinds were held up and only allowed to sail with every light extinguished. Tug R. M. Waterman of the Thames Tow Boat Co. is in Newport bound for New London. but will be unable to leave until after dusk. When the cap tain of the tug arrived at the mouth of Newport harbor Tuesday morning and asked to be let by the steel net he was told that he would not be given permission to pass until after dark and then he must run with every light out including the sailing lights.
 As steamers running from New London to New York are protected by Long Island, schedules will be follow cd as usual. It was rumored that the navy department would place a steel net at the mouth of New London har- bor, but nothing official can be learn ed concerning the plans.

CHILDREN HATE PILLS, CAL0MEL
 AND OIL
IF CROSS. FEvERIsH, coNsTiPAT- ED. GIVE "cALIFORNIA
 SYRUP OF FIGS"

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the dose" mother insisted on-castor oil, calome1, cathartics. How you hated them. how you fought against taking them.
 With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-found- ed. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them.
 If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious "CaIiforDia Syrup of Figs" Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative" handy: they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor- row.
 Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot tie of California Syrup of Figs which has full directions for babies children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Beware of commercials sold here. Sec that it is made by California Fig Syrup Com pany." Refuse any other kind with contempt.

THIRD SLATER HALL HCIUE
Mrs. Beatrice Forbes Robertson Hale Spoke Musical Comedy the Movies and Modern Play-Present Day Ideal Entertainment is the Moving Picture Story.

In the. third lecture of the Slater Hall course Mrs. Beatrice Forbes-Rob Musical Comedy, The Movies and. the Modern Play, to large and interested audience. Mrs. Hale is a most en- tertaining and easy speaker with a point. She touched upon the difficult ty of pinning ones mind upon sub jects not related to the war and the obligation we have of not dwelling too much upon it.
 After the war we may hope to gain much of art from the countries with whom we shall have cemented our friendship but we must not import too much from them. To be of value art must spring spontaneous from our hearts. The dramatfst has to be of his own time. not before 1t. Only two men in this art have ever been before their time, Euripides and Ib- sen. Shakespeare was the spokesman of his time.
 Drama is incomplete without great number of people, in the form of the audience, to assist it. It must be seen to be successful. A dramatist has to have a subject broad enough to in terest a large audience.
 Originally drama was not intended to be an amusement but was a set ting forth of religious and ethical truths, and as such was a great force in the life of the people. The con- ception that church and stage are an- tipodal is more modern. At the time of the Puritan movement in England amusements and play of all kind were frowned upon. When Charles II. re- turned to the throne, fsom a corrupt and licentious foreign court, he brought with him the ideas and lack of morals obtaining there and the stage became particularly bad. It was then patronized by only the lowest type of people, and those courtiers who shared their mOnarch's tastes and de- sire for excitement.--Th decline con tinued until the 6e's of the last cen tuTy.
 Then there came into existence three kinds of plays. First, the clas- sic drama. adaptations of Shakespeare, Greek and French classics and blank verse. This type of play was quite lofty and grandielequent in tone and filled with bombast-
 The second typo was our own na- tive. particular melodrama. It was good to the extent that it was ex- -ceedingly virtuous. It never varied in plot only in setting. And it left the audience feeling happy. This type is still with us transferred to the screen.
 Third came the play imported from Paris, made to shock us and have us feel how very provincial we were. The plot was invariable, the dialogue clever, and the play adroitly put to- gether.
 There were also in this period some very good light operas of the Gilbert and Sullivans type.
 Then there came a second renaiss- sance An epoch of ideas and new thought was upon us and was reflect

Cocoanut Oil Fine
 For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition. be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkai. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain nnulsitied cocoanut oil (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless), is much better than tho most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing. as this can't possibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt dandruff and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves 1t fine and silky, bright. fluffy and easy to man. |age.
 You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.
