School Children Of Nor
gan City Celebrate
The Birthday Of Geo.
Washington
A Program Of Patriotic SeIec-
tons And Songs Given By
All The Pupils Of The City
At The High School

The most recent and one of the most
impressive manifestations Of patriotism
in the history Of Morgan City was wit
messed on Friday morning at half.past
ten O'Clock. At that time the pupils OF
the public school, numbering almost
seven hundred, assembled in front Of
the school building for the purpose Of
celebrating in fitting manner the one
hundredth and eighty-six anniversary
of George Washington. Under the pres
ent conditions when patriotism is
priced so highly, the value of such an
opportunity for intoxicating into the
hearts Of the younger citizens lessons Of
real patriotism cannot be overestimated.
The program consisted of appropriate
selections in which each department Of
the school was represented. The great
err part of the program, however, was
given by the members Of the lower
grades, whose entertainment was much
enjoyed by all and particularly by
the older pupils who very seldom have
an opportunity to see what the little
people are capable of doing. The pro-
gram opened with the singing of
"America' by the entire school. The
flag was next raised by several of the
boy scouts as the school saluted. Little
Robert Breiter, Of the second grade,
spoke few words in an excellent man.
ner on Washington, and more com
plete biography was well read by Clar-
ence Berwick Of the High School de-
partment. A talk on the Junior Red
Cross with an interesting sketch Of the
life of Florence Nightengale, founder
of the Red Cross organization, was well
delivered by L. J. Adams Of the Sew
enth Grade. Previous to tie closing
number, the singing Of the "Star-Span-
gled Banner Professor Law addressed
the pupils, commenting them on their
interest in the organization of Junior
Red Cross Society in the school.

OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT

"Princess Virtue,' to be seen at the
Evangeline theatre tonight is to be the
first Bluebird in which Mae Murray
will be starred. From q story written
by Louise Winter, "Princess Virtue"
has been picturized. It was put in see
mario form by Fred Myton of the Blue
bird staff Of writers, and directed by
Robert Leonard.
According to announcement by the
Bluebird management, "Prin@ess Vir-
tue' will be one Of the most elabor-
cite productions that have had their ere
alton at the Bluebird studios. The
scenes Of the play are laid in France
and all the people in it are prominent
figures among the leaders Of social, civ
81 and diplomatic life. Consequently
.',e sets in which the activities of these
raople are shown will conform in every
particular with their station in life.
Special artists and decorators were
assigned to the Bluebird studios to de-
vote their undivided attention to the
dressing ard decorating of sets. The
futuristic art was drawn upon to .
considerable extent in q number Of the
sets, thus giving them an individuality
that viii be particularly striking.
During the making of the picture, Di
rector Leonard took his company te
Coronado, Catalina Island, Santa Bar
bara and San Francisco. Miss Murray
has very unusual role in "Princese
Virtue" and she will have plenty Of op
portunity to display to the fullest ex
tent her gifts as an actress. The prin
cipal members in her support will be
Wheeler Oakman, Paul Nicholson, jean
Hersholt, Gretchen Lederer, Clarissa
Selwynne and Harry Won Meter.

Garlic to Be imported.

Because of the scarcity Of food in
Europe and the difficulty of transporta-
ton, the war board discouraged the i'm

consumption and to save tonnage. Gar
lie from Italy was included under this
general prohibition until the Italian
government represented thar great
financial loss would result, due to the
vast acreage planted with garlic In
Italy. The supply of this years yield
would be far too great for home con-
sumption. Due to this, the war trade
board issued permit for the present
year, with the understanding that
after January. 1918, fewer acres would
be planted to garlic, but would be de-
voted to the cultivation of other food

The story OF the veIl-if II is con-
6ned to the fashionable veil-is rather
brief at present, because only small
face wells occupy the attention of the
big majority of women. OF this par
ticular kind of veil there are, however.
many varieties which are worth the
attention of women who appreciate
how much veil can do for the COM
plexiOn-and the face. Besides, there
are the small, floating wells which are
worn with so much grace and prove
so allurlng on women who know how
to Garry them off," and the wells for
motoring. In addition to these one
must not overlook some pleasing nov
elites that are occasionally seen on
younger women and girls who like odd
and striking things.
Nearly all the small close-fitting
face wells are made of fine-very fine
threads In large mesh ground with
embroidered floral sprays straying
over them. Or they may be splashed
with widely detached motifs or fin
ished with dots. All these decorative
touches appear In borders as well as In
patterns that trail over the mesh or
dot 1t. There are also wells of heavier
threads and In both the fine and heavy
threads there are small-mesh varieties.
1t would be impossible and unnecessary
to describe all of them. The thing
to remember is that one should expert
ment before buying and try on differ,
ent wells as we do hats, In order to
select the becoming pattern. Black
and taupe are the most popular colors
but there are Others.
