HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING

There was scarcely a day or night o
last week but what this city and ad
jacent sections experienced an electric
storm accompanied by pouring rain
Friday morning, about day break, il
is believed the storm kings artillery
advanced with its heaviest attack. AS
a result bolt of lightning, making a
ballseye charge on the flag staff and
cupalo of our high school building, sue
ceeded in setting the cupalo on fire.
The cupalo being of wood and of con-
Siderable size, it wasn't many minutes
ere the city was lit up by a brilliant
blaze and our entire populace astir
Fortunately, the building was well
equipped with water and apparatus for
such an occurrence, and willing. cou-
rageous frefighters charged on the
fiendish flames with telling effect. The
local fire company with equipment, in
clnding the chemical engine, rendered
untold good service. By such prompt
and well directed actions, the flames
were subdued before they did damage
other than devour the cupalo.
AS the use of much water was nee
essary, some parts of the building were
more or less soused and in conse-
quence, school services in all parts of
the building were called Off for that
day, but on Monday every department
within the building resumed full act
ivity. To replace the cupalo as before
will cost considerable, but the loss is
fully covered by insurance.
The bolt evidently followed the flag
staff into the belfry and there coming
in contact with the bell was DETECTED, |
busted so to speak. This, it is thought,
prevented more serious results. The
bell was damaged beyond repair.

and you would have thought it never
would stop.
Aunt Matilda watehei from the
bank, and soon she became ANXIOUS

bear language, "For Goodness sake,
Jump off and come to shore"
Club got more and more fright

became, the tighter he hung on.

a mistake he must not keep on doing
it, but do something else and swim

While all this talking was going

that hub was nearly worn out, she
plunged into the pool. And in the

from the log, and WITH ont flip

To the Editor: 1 take the liberty
of calling your attention to a con-
dition in Washington that impresses
me as being so unfeelingly brutal as
to constitute a wrong that cries out
for action. I refer to the military hos
pital, crowded with armless. legless
boys, just returned from scenes of
privation and misery of every sort,
who are not only left to shift for
themselves but are deprived through
red tape and stupidity from the en-
joyment Of courtesies that individuals
and the public would gladly extend.
This was called to my attention
through the fact that with the open
ing of the engagement of Good Morn
ing, Judge" at the Shubert- Belasco,
the management OF the theater and
of the attraction undertook to place
any vacant seats that might be left
at any performance at the disposal
of the hospital authorities. Before
the plan could be put into execu-
ton they found that these poor help
less heroes were practically penniless
and that Notwithstanding that fact
the war tax would have to be paid for
their admission to the theater. By
whom?
The boys are practically penniless
and 1t is sn effort for many OF them
to secure carfare. Naturally a theater
management feels that it is doing its
share in. devoting its seats to this
purpose without paying 10 per cent
of the value of the seats for the
privilege. There is no one else who
seems to know or care enough about
a. II, NnIr sr,Na
1 am sure that the management of
every theater in Washington would
be glad to adopt the policy of de-
nance for the entertainment of these
boys and 1 am equally sure that an
occasional visit to the theater would
do a great deal to relieve the monot-
ony of their lives But this question
of the war tax stands in the way.
After making extended inquiry the
management of Good Morning
Judge" and Of the Shubert- Belas CO
Theater found 1t possible to enter
tain a crowd of the boys without hav-
ing TO pay the government an addi-
tional 10 per cent, but this was at the
expense of closing to the public that
part of the theater in which the boys
sat. No one else seems to be at all
interested in whether these poor fell
lows laugh or weep, whether they have
a good time or NOPE about in sordid
depression, and it strikes me that
little inquiry and agitation of this
subject might result in the adoption
of some sane and sensible rule that
would permit well intentioned visiting
theatrical managers to give these boys
their wares without being penalized
for so doing. The rule that compeIs
a manager to close his balcony con-
tanning 400 seats because he entertains
100 wounded soldiers there. certainly
amounts to a penalty; it is also a PEN
atty to compel him to pay $50 war tax
for the same privilege. The manager
derives no benefit whatever from the

great to insure realistic effects. For
some productions, experienced ar
fists and artisans work for months
on q bit of detail that will perhaps
be used only IN a scene or two and
viii never be used again. Stage

pirate ships are regarded only as SO
many props" to be destroyed as
occasion--and the scenario-dictate,
to satisfy the thrill-seeking public.
In one of UniversaPs great serials,
a prize motor boat was rammed by
another craft So thoroughly realistic
was the scene that. despite subsequent
efforts, the two ships actually sunk.
The outlay was not q light one. Both
boats were thorough sea-going vessels,
not mere disabled substitutes such as
many believe are used In cases of this
kind. The cameras eye is too exact
ing a one to be deceived by camou-
flage of any sort.
Realism is conceived only of realism.
