CINE. According to an announcement

the last coach OF the local train were
derailed and the pilot OF the express
engine was damaged.

Tells Of Accident.
B. n Brockaway. one of the In
jured. who resides at $40 N street
northwest. gave the first account Of
the accident He said:
II was on local train No. 70 coming
from Boyds, Nd. where the train leaves
every morning. We had arrived at Lin
den Junction and side-racked to LEI the
o'clock, and We waited until 7:l0 for the
express. but It did not appear. The en-
CINE then pulled out Of the siding at a
very slow speed when the express train
came in sight The engineer on the ex-
press put on the brakes and slowed up
quickly, and in doing so his engine was
broken loose from the coaches behind
him. He was too near Us to make a
complete stop, and struck the rear car,
giving the coaches a serious jolt. and
damaging the rear end Of the coach /
was standing In the aisle when the col
lision occurred and the jolt knocked me
forward to the floor. I knew nothing
after that until came to few minutes
later, and was given medical aid Ny
head and right arm were cut, but not
seriously.
The steel coaches and quick work Of
the engineer OF the express averted what
would probably have resulted in a seri-

NATIOAAI.

The first complete perturbation Of
the American navy in all phases of its
activities was revealed to audiences
yesterday afternoon and last night al
the New National. BY the Prizma
process, a new departure in making
natural color films, both audiences
were thrilled by the exhibition OF the
great force which guards the shores
OF this country against foreign in
vasion.
Marvelously beautiful effects are
registered on the screen by the new
color process. 1t Is produced at the
time the film is being exposed and
not, as in all cases heretofore, after
the film has been developed. The pro-
cess lends to the perturbation a depth
of color and an atmosphere considered
impossible before the PriZma process
made II a reality.
The subject matter OF the film IS one
capable of innumerable thrills; one
calculated TO instruct as well as to

ATTRACTIONS At
LOCAL THEATERS
| FOR THIS WEEK

Well staged, well cast. and festur-
ing Harry Fox and the Dolly Sisters,
those ever delectable morsels of fem
ininity, ooh, Loox!" made its Wash
ington bow at the Belasco Theater
last night Music that stays with
you after the show, lines and situa-
lions that tickle, a chorus OF unusual
pulchritude, and q cast of principals
that are actors-together with a real
plot-assure success for this new
Elliott, Comstock and Gest musical
comedy.
Based on James Montgomery's
Ready Money" the plot narrates
the experiences of a youthful mine
promoter who at the opening Of the
play is down and out. A wad Of
counterfeit $1,000 bills accommodate
ingly thrust upon him by a three
week acquaintance so impresses his
friends that they swamp him with
bids for stock in his mining venture.
But complications ensue, and before
the play is far advanced, there is a
merry tangle that is finally straight
ened out happily for everyone at the
end OF the production.
Harry Fox as the youth is delight
full. A fascinating personality puts

kept Hast nights first-night audience
in gales OF laughter.
Dainty as ever, more charming
than before, II possible, and with
parts which call for real histrionic
ability here and there, the Dolly Sis
tiers carry their part of the produc-
ton in a manner which will add
new laurels to the old Their dan
cling drew repeated encores.
In mentioning the characters to
whom credit for the success OF the
production is due. Hugh Cameron
must not be forfotten. Master OF the
art Of clever burlesque, he Garcia
lures a small-town detective captain
in such excruciatingly ludicrous
/, style that the audience is in a con-
tinual roar Of laughter during the
generous time in which he occupies
the center of the stage in the final
act without him the last act might
even be tame and insipid, but his
brilliant work infuses such q dash
Of humor into the proceedings that 1t
overshadows the work OF any other
principal in this part Of the play.
The rest of the principals are up
TO the standard set by the leads. The
action of the plot is unspoiled by
poor Interpretation OF parts, and the
songs and dances are rendered in
uniform excellence, with the dancing
Of the Dolly sisters the particularly
bright spots.
Joseph McCarthy's lyrics, to music
by Harry Carroll. are charming. The
tunes are the kind that you whistle
on the way home.
"Oh, Look" is one OF the most
pleasing musical comedies that has
visited Washington recently.

Athletics begin this week in ear nest. Mir. MacChesney expects to have a good basket ball team among the boys, and Miss Cowling is busy supervising an energetic team of girls. Besides the basket ball teams physical culture exercises begin We'd nesday. Miss Cowling has mapped out a most interesting course of ex- ercise. including Swedish gymnastic military drills, and folk and classic dances.
 Students ask for more pep In school notes this year. To have pep in school notes we must have the interest and cooperation of patrons, not the half hearted concern shown heretofore. Will you help us to make the school notes interesting by taking a more active interest in school affairs this year. We need it. Will you help us gain pep?
 Convocation exercises were con- ducted this week by Rev. w. K. Johnston. By Mir MacChesney's re- quest he repeated his sermon of last Sunday night to us in condensed form. Mir. Johnston chose for his text, "Of the making of many books there is no end. and much study is a weariness of the flesh" from the twelfth chapter of Ecclesiastes, and then he went on to explain what great deal scholarships are worth because of the fact that much study is weariness of the flesh.'' and must be worked for. Then he took the subject of books and fully discussed and explained it to us. We should take the great est care of all good books, no matter how poorly bound, out of respect for the author who spent much time and labor on their production, and we should be extremely careful about the selection of the books we read, for our reading matter is the greatest former of our characters. AS the silk worm takes its color from what it feeds on, so our minds take their thoughts from what they feed on MT. Johnston urged us all to be students. for the students of all ages and all stages of civilization-the | trained minds-have been the leaders And in conclusion MT. Johnston gave the reason that we should all be students-to appreciate life around us. and as President Wilson said "A trained mind always elevates man or woman"
