Working Out Well.

The daylight saving scheme which went
into effect last Sunday is working out
very well. Most everybody has fallen in
line, moved their clock ahead an hour
and work accordingly. For the farmer
who mas been in the habit of getting up
at daylight and starting his work the
change makes little difference, he works
all day just the same. For those who
work but eight or nine hours it means
get up early, and it gives those people
considerable time to do home work in the
afternoon. 1t will however seem very
funny to retire this summer when the
clock strikes ten and know it is actually
but nine o'clock, but we all are getting
into the habit already.

To Make Their Body Sound.
All School Children Now To Be
Given Physical Training.

One of the small but important bills
that went through the General Assembly
in it's closing hours was Senate bill No.
555, introduced by President Campbell,
which provides for physical education and
training in the public schools. This is
the bill the Public Athletic League is so
much interested in and which was intro
duced by President Campbell at the re-
quest of DR.. William Burdick. director of
the league President Campbell has
bill of his own, which went further than
the Burdck bill, and provided for the
military training of children in the
schools, but this was defeated in the
House.
The Burdick bill which will become'a
law as soon as Governor Harrington signs
it, directs that physical training shall be
given the pupils in all the public schools
of the State and in all schools aided or
maintained by the State. In the ele-
mentary public schools this is to consist
of at least Is minutes on each school day
and at least one hour outside the regular
classroom work in each school week. In
public high schools the period of physical
training is to be atleast one hour in each
school week and at least two hours of
directed play and athletics for all pupils
outside of regular classroom work each
week.
The State Board of Education is di-
rected to appoint a supervisor of physi-
cal education for the purpose of carrying
out the provisions of the act and to ap-
point such other assistants, both clerical
and professional, as shall be necessary in
the administration and supervision of
physical education.

and great all star cast in r. r. Cartons S
comedy,
LORD AND LADY ALGY."
Next week will be exceptional at Ford's
in William Faversham's production of
Lord and Lady Algy."
Lord and Lady Algy" is sparkling
comedy. In its second act there is a
fancy dress ball, where the players ap-
pear in eighteenth century costumes, thus
in way bringing back to the stage the
costume play so popular years ago. And
yet the setting of the play is modern, as
first and last acts take place in the Lon
don of today.
Lord and Lady Algy are separated,
but as they both love each other there
is every possible chance for reconcile
alton. Just at the moment this seems
probable, Algy's brother engages in a
Irritation with Mrs. Tudway, wife of AL
gy's old friend, and through misunder-
standing Algy is accused of being the
infatuated one. He nearly loses his wife
through his brothers. indiscretion but
matters are Strengthened out before this
comes to pass.
William Faversham scored one of his
earliest successes on the American stage
as ."Algy," and his portrayal is one OF
the finest pieces of light comedy acting
the stage offers. Maxine Elliott is de
lightful as Lady Algy, and Irene Fen
wick is charming as the runaway wife
Macklyn Arbuckle is ideal as the jealous
husband.
