APPRECIATED BY
LARGE AUDIENCE

Before a large and enthusiastic au-
dience the Senior class play, ~ he
Private Secretary" was given at the
High School auditorium last evening.
The performance from beginning to
end, was rendered with a snap and
finish that would reflect credit on d
professional company.
Joe Douglas, as Mr.. C-a-t-t-e-r-
MOLE, PLAYED very difficult but
pleasing part, and provoked many q
laugh. LuvoiS Fuller. as the Rev.
Robert Spalding, impersonated typ
ical theological student tutor, and is
deserving OF special mention fo1 his
excellent portrayal of this character
Cleo McCary, as Mr.. Maj sh,and, NJ
f. H., was very dignified and acdate
in his part Of the retired English
landlord, James Marshall and Bert
Purdv, as college students, were fiYst
call in the part of college boys con-
startly in trouble and both added 4
great deal to the merriment of the
evening.
Bob Kuykendall, as an English tai
!Or and wCuld-be social climber, al
weys turning up at the wrong time,
was very satisfactorv. Miss Emily
Horr was delightful in the part Of
tie English landlady. Velve Hackle-
man, as the daughter of the English
landlord, and Mildred rBewer, hey
chum, both gave very poppy rendi-
ton OF their parts Miss Ann Grogan
played very faithful rendition Of
the English governess interested in
Spiritualism. Glenn Provost was a
verv stern and efficient writ server.
There was only one incident to mar
the evening and that ives the failure
of the Hoton Powerless Company to
furnish continuous installment oi
juice, which caused fifteen OF twen-
,ty-minute interruption in the midst
of one of the most absorbing scenes
of the play

When the Four Minute Men were
appointed by the United States Gov
eminent to deliver speeches on sub
jects connected with the war, the
boys Of the High School Of Commerce
n Boston took up the idea and be-
came four-minute men to their class
mates.
Thrift proved. subject directly in

ard cid much to increase investment
n War Savings Stamps Some Of the
arguments presented by these future
financiers are good for grown-ups
too:
Before the war Americans were
MASTERS. They did not seem to
know the value of a reserve fund.
Today the large majority of the people
in this country are saving. But they
do not save enough There may be
soon a reversal of the money situa-
ton of America. Where there IS
plenty now, there may be need. and
Americans must store the wealth of
their nation for the future. To invest
Il is better than to hoard it.
War Savings Stamps have all the
backing of the Governmental that

most, yield better than per cent

STRANGE CATFISH TYPES.
Species Found in South America Wear
Shell Like Armor.

Students OF fish life are interested in
the catfish which has developed very
remarkable number Of different and pc.
cular forms The armored catfish which
IS found in streams in South America
sometimes finds its way into the eollec-
tions Of aquarists in this city Nature has
generously provided II with shell-hke
amor TO protect it against the attacks Of
larger and stronger fishes
The rivers OF South America. John
/ Nichols, head of the department OF ich-
THEOLOGY OF the American Museum, said:
abound in cattishes Of almost every con
ccivable size and form Many bear a
marked semblance to the whiskercd
horned rout familiar to every country
boy in the north who goes fishing but
others are very different They are en-
cased III an armature Of bony plates,
somewhat in the manner OF an armadillo
or Of the knights Of old. These armored
catfish belong to two families, which are
the tallchthids and the Loricarids In
the former the sides of the body are GOV
cred BY two longitudinal series of plates
and IN the latter the body is more or less
completely covered with several series of
plates arranged comparatively irreguarly
The mouth is small on the under surface
Of the head, somewhat suckeT-like in APP
Pcarnce. but with small teeth
The two common types of this family
are Plocostomus, with big head, some
thlng like that of sea robin, and Lori
| caria, which is clongate, its tail portion
very much tlattcned In some species Of
piccostomus the scutes are keeled. in 9th
ers they are smooth. Certain Loricarids.
especially those found in rushing noun
tain torrents, have a smooth skin with
| ont aimor, and it is also in this family
| that the most remarkable armored forms
occur. 0ne Of these is Farrowells.
| Catfish are most abundant and are
| found in greatest variety in South Amer
lea and in Africa The probabilities are
/ that they entered those two southern con
| tinents from the north. but finding few
| fishes to compete with them in the fresh
waters there, they developed very re-
markable number of different and pecu-
liar forms in order to take advantage OF
every aspect of their environment In
Africa catfish was evolved which pro
| tects itself by giving a Powerful electric
shock In South America we have no
such electric catfish, its place IN a sense
being taken by an electric eel, but there
are many species of catfsl, protected by
bony plates which form a sort Of armor.
OF our local catfishes all are of one type
/ similar to horned pout. !

Mrs. Lorenzo Nj, WooGslde in her
Gardening for women" says Mrs.
Lorenzo NJ. Woodside of Winchester,
Mass, Originated in the First Garden
when Eve was given to Adam as
helper. While the record of her work
IS rather incomplete, it is reasonable
to believe that she did more than help
TO gather the fruit
As an exponent of what women may
do for gardening and gardening for
women, Mrs. Woodside is an example
to her sex. A talented reader and
forceful speaker, the message she is
giving to women's clubs and other
organizations must be productive OF
good.
That she is not a mere theorizer,
her garden at Winchester proves. Her
interest dates back to the time when,
a child, she battered down the long
burrows with her father, behind the
plow, and through intimate compan-
iorship with him learned the secrets
OF mother Earth.
When buying the home at Winches-
ter she looked for small house and
q big piece of land She was not
wholly successful, but did secure 9
goodsized back yard, which was
spaded up for a garden while the fur,
niture was being moved into the
house. For some time a For Sale
sign on an adjoining lot disturbed
her, because she wanted the land t
add to her garden. Her husband, al
ways a city dwelIer tried to discour.

but she finally convinced him that

produced 35 bushels of potatoes and
over 900 pounds of tomatoes the first
year. This experiment stimulated he
interest, as well as her husbands. and
another lot was purchased at the rea.
OF her home, making nearly two acres
now under cultivation
In addition to potatoes and tona-
toes she has added all the staple table
vegetables, of which 1000 quarts were
canned in her own kitchen last year
She also devotes a part of the land
to flowers, specializing in gladioli,
which finds a ready sale. For two
seasons a small patch of wheat and
oats has furnished food for rs chick
ems.
That the land has been made to pay,
she says, is due to the cultivation Of
variety of things. This year she is
setting out peach pear and apple
trees, and small fruits.
Naturally, woman OF Mrs. Wood

like, and her savings have, to IL
