The Human Mind.

1t is strange receptacle for every
thing new, bright. clear. exciting.
It is like a harp Of ten thousani
strings. You can play any tune y,u
like on it, but it must be some definite
tune.
This new piece plays a tuns OF gay
ETY.. laughter and it is set to REAL
Music.
1t isn't another Pink Lady, and il
isn't another Merry Widow, or an
other Miss Springtime" or another
THE Riviera Girl or another ANY
THING that Klaw and Erlanssr have
produced before. Nothing worth
while duplicates anything that has
ever been done.
That strange thing, the mind OF
man, cynical and tired in the United
States at thirty, always wants to be-
licve in simplicity, in the illusions OF
thirteen.
1.-THE Rainbow Girl is a combina-
ton Of pure comedy and pure music.

MEADE MEN SHOW
PROFICIENCY WITH
GRENADE AND GUN

CAMP MEADE. Nd. Feb. 16-This
Is rapidly becoming the noisiest place
in Maryland. Today while the target
practice was in progress three miles
south OF Admiral. and the gallery
shooting was under way on the 10
yard range, a number OF live grenades
OF the new American type were fired.
The demonstration attracted much
attention, and was in every way
success.
The class in grenade work has been
making careful preliminary study OF
this method Of fighting. and II handled
the powerful bombs in an effective
way, blowing out hundreds OF imagi-
nary Huns and wiping out deep en-
trenchments.
Glass Fills Grenades.
The grenades were delivered here
In lots Of thousands, and were filled
by men of the class. representing
every lighting unit. The men had
been waiting for a long time for the
distinction Of throwing the real
American grenades.
There have been some foreign
grenades thrown, and also some
Mesde-made concrete grenades used
N previous experiments. This new
type, however, is expected to do more
damage TO the kaiser's men and
lines than any now in use in France.
Germany has one grenade with a
wooden handle. but II has been fouSd
that American, men who have ever
been real boys, know how to throw
well enough not to require any such
device.
Men Found Apt.
The work done here with the
dummies has convinced the experts
that Americans are far more apt at
this than men of any other nation
Grenade throwing is different than
baseball pitching. but the men are
keen enough to know the difference.
In the rife shooting here hundreds
OF men are showing up at once as
natural born shots. There are many
men who never had shot any fireaTm
now hitting the bull's-eye. The strange
thing about II is that clerks and
others who have heretofore had only
to hit the keys on typcwrIters have
scored perfectly with the first squeeze
Of the trigger. This is partly due to
the careful system of training In aim
ing and in properly squeezing the
trigger so that a steady aim Will not
be Jared at firing.
Cards Show Record.
Bits of cardboard peppered with
holes show how well the men have
done IN the automatic Tlne nTlnE. In
this 1t is not the deshc to put the
bullets in one center, but to effect
generous distribution. to get a cluster
OF Huns, as IL were, instead Of mere
ly drilling needless holes in the same
man. Some Of this work is done at
1000 inches-the inches being the
scale instead Of yards because tho
degree of scattering can De indicated
equally well and the possibility OF a
spent bullet doing harm Is greatly re-
duced for this firing is in front OF
high embankment.
Maude EIOPeE With Fence.
An amusing incident occurred on
the parade ground when a mule, tied
to a fence. ran away and carried the
fence along. Maude had officers and
men trying all kinds Of futile dctour

F|REMEN COMING
TO ASK FEDERAL

men OF the District. but for every city

Every one OF the delegates will be
self-appointed lobbyist and exert all
the pressure possible upon his Con-

system this year. The President also +,
will receive the delegates.

Beer Brewing Stops.

Saturday night last the brewers Of Mary
land. as of all other places, in the country
stopped making beer, and probably for
good. That has been done under the order
of the Food Administration putting a stop
to brewing as of December I. But the
brewers are not treating 1t as temporary
matter The President having signed the
Agricultural bill, with the rider attached
institutine prohibition upon July |, the
brewers are inclined to look upon the cessa-
ton Of production on Saturday as the end
Of their business. and some of them already
are actively preparing to engage in other
lines of work.
One Of the leading brewers said that he
calculated 100000 barrels as a conserya-
tive estimate Of the amount Of beer now
in Baltimore. The amount might be 175.-
900 barrels as the outside figure. That
will not last a great while in city Of some
100000 people, not counting the beer
drinkers in the surrounding territory. Whis-
key manufacture was stopped some time
ago and. of course. there is no possibility
Of II being resumed at any time within
sight at present. According to Lewis M.
Milbourne. Chief Deputy Collector Of Inter-
nal Revenue, there are now about $780,
900 gallons Of whiskey in bond In Mary
land, which puts the whiskey drinkers in
much better stead than the beer tipplers
