SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENTS TO MAKE BUSY WEEK
 FOR DOUGLAS PEOPLE

DOUGLAS, May 6.-This will be busy week here on account of the closing of school and the consequent number of entertainments incident thereto. Tonight under the auspices of the Parent-Teacher Association a program will be given at the Lyric Theatre which will be of unusual in terest owing to the fact that the presentations will all be by the school children. The playlet which was an nounced as being prepared under the direction of MT. Murray will not be given, one of the participants having fluked when it was too late to re- cast the play. The other play under the direction of Miss Cation will be presented and folk dances, songs, rec itations, etc. will make a highly in teresting program.
 Tomorrow night from 7:30 until 8:30 there will be an exhibit of the childrens creations in the various rooms at the school, consisting of art, Red Cross and grade work in the grades and of manual training and domestic science in the High School. All parents and friends of the school are requested to be at the school house tomorrow night
 Wednesday night everybody will be at the grand farewell dance to be given at the Natatorium by Douglas and Treadwell jointly in honor of the young men who will leave for Fort Seward on Friday.
 Thursday night the regular grad uation exercises will take place at the Lyric Theatre when, in addition to the graduation essays and orations, Territorial Superintendent of Educa- tion l.. D. Henderson will deliver an address and also award the diplomas to the graduates. There will be no charge made for Thursday nights en- tertainment at the Lyric
 School will formally close on Fri day with suitable and timely patriot ic exercises and demonstrations. It is probable that the exercises on Friday will include a send-off to the soldiers leaving for Fort Seward

ARTHUR DURAY

The entry of the greatest of Euro pean drivers in the championship events on American speedways this season was assured, when Arthur Duray, the Frenchman, cabled to America from Paris his acceptance of Promoter William H. Wellmans invitation to compete here. Duray is well known to automobile racing enthusiasts in the United States, for in 1914 he won the Indianapolis Sweepstakes of $50.OOO. Duray holds the worlds record for speed driving. with the unbelievable aver age of 147 miles an hour. which he reached in a race at Ostend. Driv- ing at demoniac speed throughout the race Duray averaged l32 miles an hour for the entire distance. On this neck breaking Journey he was accompanied by Prince Boris de SOukhanoff.
