AT THE OLIVER.

No one is going to complain be-
cause THE Girl Who Stayed at
Home" now running at the Oliver
theater is "A war picture. For that
matter, Grifith's war pictures are
about the only war pictures nova
days that have any thrill in them,
the only ones that offer convincing
limitations of the real thing. Griffith
is a whole military school himself.
You cannot describe the plot be-
cause its producer has interviewer
several plots in the manner of his
earlier spectacle dramas. He is the
only producer who is able TO do this
without offering his audience a
screen jig-saw puzzle The cast ap-
pearing in The Girl Who Stayed
at Home" is one of the best ever
seen in a Griffith production and in
clude. Robert Harron, Clarine Sey-
mour, Carol Dempster, George Faw-
cett, FULLY Marshall. Kate Bruce
and Richard Barthelmess. The
picture will be shown continuously
today starting at one O'Clock. The
engagement will end tonight.

VACUUM VALVE IS
SOUND AMPLIFIER
New Invention Makes Possible
MagnlfiCation of Voice to
Sound Like Cannon.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 31.-A
mans voice can be made as. loud as
the lannon's roar; it can be heard
two or twenty miles. The ticking OF
watch can be amplified until it
sounds like breakers on an ocean
cliff.
It's no trick at all to magnify
sound four or five million times.
CT indefinitely" says Tom Lam bert,
"a wireless telephone engineer. All
that is needful Is TO connect a num-
Der Of vacuum valves in multiple
with a wireless receiving set, and
the thing is done. At the first re
ceiving contact a voice will be nor

it is raised seven times: thereafter
it squares itself-seven times seven

ment. when the police urged us to
desist.
Magnify Watch Tick.
In the stadium at Golden Gate
Park the ticking Of watch was
made audible all over the grand
stand while an athletic meet was
in progress. Capt. Robert W. a.
Brewer, an experimental, moved off
1000 feet and spoke quietly 10 his
dog. and the dog couldn't be held.
A wireless station which l am not

Mr.. Lambert exhibited one of the
vacuum valves. Its exterior resem-
bled an ordinary 16-candle electric
light bulb. Through the glass. how
ever, could be seen electric winding

ment was wound convolutions Of

For practical purposes. the vac

attra ction which features Mary
Miles Minter The story deals
amusingly with the adventures of an
unsophisticated brother and sister,
reared in luxury in the south and

Miss Minter and j. Parks ions are
fine types of these ingenious babes
the-metrOpolis and they are sup
ported by thoroughly competent
and agreeable cast, which adds to
tha story's charm and effectiveness.

Finally the ten men remaining

County Teachers Meeting.

The second meeting of the Richmond
County Teachers Association was helc
at the Rockingham Graded School build
ing Saturday, December 9th, and was
well attended by the town and count,
teachers. Great interest is being taker
in the Reading Circle work, for every
teacher OF the county realizes that she
can put into immediate use in her school
all the information gained at these meet
ings.
Superintendent Bell announced that
the schools would close Friday, Decem.
Der 10, and on that day appropriate ex.
erclses, commemorating North Carolina
Day. should be held in all the schools. He
asked Professor Steadman of the Rock
lngham High School, to demonstrate the
military salute, after which all should
give the salute and pledge to the United
States flag. This was very satisfactorily
carried out.
Miss Watkins, first grade teacher in
the Rockingham Graded School, taught a
class in reading, and her pupils not only
read well, but also showed marked ability
IN answering thought questions. Her
methods were used as illustrations in
the discussion of the recitation, held later
in the meeting.
Mrs Thompson, fourth grade teacher
IN the Hamlet Graded School, talked on
The Assignment of Spelling Lesson"
She emphasized writing words on black
board to show their practical use, pro.
nouncing each syllable distinctly, pro-
nounclng in concert, and writing each
word five times before coming to class.
Miss Tillman, second grade teacher of
the Hamlet Graded School, followed with
another subject on assignment, The
Reading Lesson" With the story 1.-The
Ant And The Grasshopper;" as an illus
tratlon, she stressed discussions of the
habits OF animals, food production, meth
DDS along with effective reading.
Mrs. John T. Bennett of the Rohanen
School, using the second chapter of Doris
The Work of The Teacher" as a basis
for her subject THE Child as a Future
Citizen urged that the teachers study
