OLIVE THOMAS AT FOX's.

Youthful Folly" starring Olive Thomas opened at Fox's yesterday and will remain this last half of the week with three performances to- morrow.
 Youthful Folly falls in the wide category of society dramas but there is enough action in it 10 make it register as melod "a ma.
 Included in the screen part of the program are Mutt and Jeff in Cleo patra," and two corking good come dies "Farmyard Follies'' and "A Shot gun Wedding" as well as an excep- tionally interesting Fox News
 It would be hard to select the headliner of the four very good acts. They are all of equal merit.
 The features underlined for Sun day evening are Seeing It Through and " Furnished Populations"

GO AND GET TT AT PALACE.

No more appropriate title could be given a play dealing with the perils and excitement of x newspaper re- porter's life than Go and get it." And this is just the one that Marshall Neilan has given his newest big photo play-"Go and Get It." which comes to the Palace beginning Sunday as a First National attraction.
 When a mysterious crime has been committed and the entire city is on its toes for the solution-when riots and bloodshed are raging-when great strikes are pending-It is then that the reporter is called 10 the city edi- or's desk and told to go get it." And the chances are one hundred to one he'll get it. He may be the worse for wear upon his return but he'll have thu story.
 And such is the case in the new NeiIan picture-Kirk Connolly is told of a series of most mysterious crimes and told to get the story. After lot Of the most fascinating and exciting ad- ventures Connolly not only returs with the story, but he gets the beautiful --vs+orv girl as well.

 Her child-lilSe face was streaked and mottled with tears. and her usual ly pretty hair was hanging in stringy confusion. As she saw me she put out her hands with a helpless, appealing gesture.

 "oh! my dear. I'm so glad to see you!" she said i've wanted some- body so.''
 I put my arm around her, although I felt more like shaking her. for I knew that this emotional outburst--a perfectly natural one for any mother upon the day of a child's wedding probably presaged some absurd prop osition.
 What is it?" I asked sympatheti- cally. but purposely misunderstanding. Are you ill?"
 "No, but wish were," she walled. this today"
 She slipped from my arms and threw herself upon the bed. burying her head in the pillows in a storm of sobs and tears. I waited until the paroxysm had spent itself, planning how I should deal with her.
 Finally she lifted her head and sat up, shivering.
 Its no use, Madge!" she said ve- hemently. 'T can't go through with it. They'll simply have to have the wedding without me. that's all I've nothing against Leila or any of them. but I simply can't see my boy mar ried. I should simply shriek or faint. or do something disgracefui right in the middle of the ceremony. I can't do 1t. tell you-I simply can't!'
 The impulse to shake her was almost irresistible now. I knew how obstinate she was when her naturally sunny yielding disposition took one of these emotional tantrums, and I cast about in my mind for the surest means Of dealing with her.
 "Of course. If you feel that way about it," said coldly. there is noth- ing more to be said. I will go down to Alfred and Leila directly and tell them. They. no doubt. will be able to postpone the wedding. or abandon It altogether, for you know Leila said she would never marry Alfred unless you were perfectly willing for her to do so."

But. ali got In on bluff. did he?

But guess 1t was the best thing yet
That happened at that time,
For hew as just the man who
Could cross the ocean brine
And to the Treaty sign his name
And call our boys home again.
No sure OF fame was he.
But an, alas when he returned
His work did seem In vain.
For America was not 80 sure
That she was In that game.
Oh, Mr.. Woodrow Wilson,
Don't give up In ;lispair.
For you may yet have honor
For your noble deed 10 rare.
You helped make pence for all the rest
And did your best for us,
But somehow our allies
Must have had an extra crust
Prepared for you while there,
Or shed 80 many smypathlzing tears
That bedlmmed your eyes so fair.
But never mind, you did your part
While over across the sea,
And America will not forget
To still preserve her liberty.
With all these great men who
Now for nomination run

And rest just quietly for fun.
But first. before you do resign.
Please seek real peace with Germany.
And see there's nothing left to pine.

pares with the other states on such
matters as the number Of children who
attend school. the number who gradu.
ate from high school, the amount OF
training they receive. the amount spent
for supplies. for teachers salaries and
for school buildings. Several very In
teresting facts came to light. New
England II getting worse in the matter
Of schools and the West is getting bet.
ter, hut the South Is as before, worse
than either. California has always
been near the top. and the CarOllnas
have always been near the bottom.

Ing Porto Rico. the better than many
Southern States. The lowest average
salary paid to school teachers Is $2J
monthly In North Carolina aud the
highest Is SIS In CalifOrnia-bothb based
ON year Of II months. There are a
hundred times as many pupils in high
school as in 1870. but the Increase has

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
Wish to Change Annual Display from
January 10 November

A movement has been started bv
horticulturists of Delaware and Mary
land to have the time of the annual
meeting the Penninsular Horticultur-
al Society, always the second or third
week in January, changed to the lat
ter part of November. The main rea-
son given for the change is that a
greater and better display of fruits
and vegetables can be shown and to a
better advantage in November than
in January. As. all fruit and vegeta-
bles have to be kept in cold storage it
has been proven that the January dis
play is not at all satisfactory. Be-
sides, it is pointed out in the ship
ments of fruits last January manv
were frozen and quite a number were
lost altogether.
A meeting Of the executive COM
mittee of the society will be called at
an early date when the proposition
will be considered.

She was swamped with invita-
tions, but isn't very strong and
had to seize upon every opportunity
possible to rest. so refused most of
them. As II was, Mrs. Raymond b.
Morgan gave a dinner for her the
night of her arrival. after which
she attended reception which
Nine. Panaretoff. wife of the Bull
garian Minister. gave in compli-
ment to another noted visitor. Miss
Mary Emma Wooley. president of
Mount Holyoke College. of which
Nine. Panaretoff is an alumna.
Then Mr.. Herbert Hoover gave
a luncheon for her at the Shore
ham and the association for
Washington of the Association Of
Collegiate Alumnae entertained at
reception in honor of DIR. Spur
geon when she made an address in
which she stated that British wo-
men, who before the war evidently
did not realize the value of a
college education. are now crowd
ing the higher educational iPstitu-
tions of the British Isles.
She also spoke to the students of
George Washington University and
OF Trinity College.
