my shoulder. One glance into her
eyes, wide opened, burning with
horror, had told me that she was
laboring under a nerve strain which
it was highly advisable to lessen
if possible.
She turned her face against my

At this evenings meeting of

ket street, the circuit for the
year will be definitely decided on.
Duncannon, Marysville. Newport
and Dauphin are certain of rep
resentation.
The makeup of the remainder
of the league is doubtful. Millers-
burg and Halifax, unrepreSented
at last weeks meeting, must send
representatives to this evenings
meeting or their franchise will
be declared forfeited. Action will
be taken on the petition of Milf
film and Reedsville for berths by
the representatives of the several
towns of the old league who will
be in attendance this evening.
Both are considered good base
ball towns, but are located at a
considerable distance from the
others. This is especially true of
ReedsVilie. ..a
Another important subject that
will receive consideration this
evening is that relative to the
number of nonresident players
to be permitted on the several
teams and salary limit. The
salary limit of previous years was
observed by none of the towns
and all of them ran wild in the
amount paid to players. These
excessive expenses are held to
have been largely responsible for
the league to get into action last
year. Some towns have instruct
ed their delegates to this even
ing's meeting to fight for a low
limit of nonresident players.
Marysville fans held a get-to-
gether meeting last evening in
the Municipal building. A COM
mittee was named to attend this

mittee This committee will in

day and tomorrow of seeing this
corking good comedy which has pleas
ed hundreds of thousands.
The Better ole" is the comedy Of
the war. 1t shows the men in the
trenches as they were during the big
conflict, and it is not overdrawn in
any particular. There are no heroes,
no forced moments--everythin is ma
.tural ard unstilted. 1t is a visualiza-
tion of the life of the fighters in their
lighter moments, when they laughed
and l<idded and loved.
The. players appearing in the screen
version of The Better ole" are those
who made such an enormous hit in
the original production. They are all
skilled players who were chosen be-
cause of the fact that they were the
Tersonification of the authors ideas le-
gardinS the various characters. They
certainly give most delightful pre-
sentation of this most pleasing COM
edy.

assuring them that when they see this
Production they will see screen
drama which will interest and charm
them from start to finish.

TO TRY FLIGHT
ACROSS ATLANTIC
Naval Seaplanes Will Start
From Point in New
foundland
IN .4ssoeiatcd Prcss

Washington, March 25.- Naval
seaplanes which are to attempt Il
flight across the Atlantic ocean in
May will start from RockawaN
Beach. Long Island, but the actual
Jumping off" place will be much
farther up the coast, possibly at
some point in New Foundland.
Whether the machines will steer a
direct course for Ireland or FOLLOW
the longer route via the Azores ap-
parently has not yet been deter
mined.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt an
nounced that the destroyer Barney
had been ordered to proceed to New
Foundland to investigate the harbor
facilities along the coast for the
purpose of determining the best base
from which the planes could put out
overseas and harbors in which
landings could be made in the event
1t became necessary for them to des-
cend during the voyage from Rock
away to the flight base.
Several machines are being pre-
pared for the flight and two or more
very probably will make the start,
Whether it will be possible for the
machines to carry sufficient fuel to
drive them across the ocean has not
been made known. They could re-
fuel at the Azores without difficulty
and some officers believe it would
be entirely possible under favorable
weather conditions for them to re-
plenish their gas supply in mid-At-
lantic from a ship with which Il
rendezvous could be arranged be-
forehand.
The Navy Department has not
entered for the $4,000 prize offer
ed by the London Daily Mail to the
first aircraft that completed n trans
Atlantic flight. At the department
to-day it was said that no inquiries
had even been made as to the condi-
tions under which the offer was
made.

He had taken cold which developed

shows yesterday and Immediately the
more intimate of his admirers made
their way to the organ to welcome
him back and congratulate him on
his return. He easily is one of the

most pleasing presentation of Turing
melodies and carefully-worked out
improvisations. In the picture, "The
