EDUCATIONAL SUNDAY

Early in April Governor Goodrich
issued a proclamation calling upon the
churches to observe an Educational
sunday. He urged that efficient prose
cution Of the war demanded that the
young men under draft age should at
tend school and college to prepare
themselves against the time Of their
coUntry's need. Also the welfare o.
the nation in the immediate future re-
quires that both the boys too young
to enter soon some form Of war SER
vice, and the young women should
seek the thorough preparation that the
schools alone can give.
Some Of the churches found # i'm
possible to observe this Educational
Sunday at that time because Of local
conditions. The First Methodist Epis-
copaI church viii devote next SUNDAY

LAFAYETTE. IND. May 3-There
has been some interest manifested in
the fact that the 500 Indiana men who
enlisted in the special training course at
Purdue are not taking the aviation me

This. / learn, was the governments
intention at first and the newspaper
stories 10 that effect were correct but al
the last moment the government found
IL could not spare the planes and en-
eines for aeroplane schooling and
switched the course to auto mechanics.
Some of the boys were disappointed at
first when they learned the news but
since they see the wonderful field of
training in front Of them they feel diff
ferently about it.
Later I hear the boys may get n
chance at aeroplane construction and of
course the present training viii make it
ali the more valuable. Our address is

 The artistic genius of Elsie F'ergu- son, the talented Aircraft star, finds suitable expression in the stirring pie rure production, The Lie, based upon Henry Arthur Jones successful play, which will be the leading feature of the pill at the Davis theatre next Mon day. Tuesday and Wednesday. The scenes of the picture are laid in Eng land and they depict the life history of tas5 siEters, one of noble instincts, the other weak, vacillating and treacher- GUS. The latter is about to elope with 2 mar, but this is prevented by his sudden death. Then follows the un- happy disclosure that she is about to become a mother. The elder sister breaks an engagement with the man she loves in order to shield her sister and to protect the family name from disgrace.
 With this for its groundwork, The Lie is intensely dramatic and many of Its scenes have a heart appeal seldom conveyed so effectively in a motion picture. The picture was directed by J. Searle Dawley. and the scenario WAS the work of Charles Maigne, a famous scensrioist connected with the Aircraft staff.
