TO PUT ON BENEFIT
SHOW FOR THE HIGH
Apollo Theatre Assists French
War Orphan Fund.

The Apollo Theatre has kindly
consented to put on a benefit show
for the benefit of the Martinsburg
High School Athletic Association and
for the payment of the fund given
annually for the support of the
French war orphan, Fernade Bertal,
which the students pledged themsel-
YES to support. The purpose of the
campaign will be to get enough mon
ey to buy new baseball uniforms for
the boys and new basketball uniforms
for the girls The business affairs
will be conducted at the school under
the management of the Student Coun-
ell and special campaign manager
will be selected from the student
body. Forces of students will soon
be at work making a drive ON the
sale of tickets.
Through the kindness of Manager
Thorn the benefit was set for Feb
rUary II and u, Wednesday and
Thursday afternoons and nights of
next week. This comes on the nights
when Douglas Fairbanks will be seen

will realize a gross percentage for
their efforts and benefit. This price
will be the same to all, adults and
children, and is seen to be a gross
advance over regular rates in price
of only cents.
For some time the pupils of the
High School have been weighing
plans by which they could equip
themselves satisfactorily i'll athletic
accouterments so that they could go
into foreign cities and not look like
a promiscuous bunch from some
back-woods town. Nothing speaks bet
ter to the public than beautiful and
spick and span uniforms. To pur-
chase these from their own small
funds is beyond the power of the
Student Council, but by means of this
performance the students expect to
be able to equip themselves as well
as the best. a full outline of the
managers and plans to be followed
will be announced tomorrow.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 The editorial board of the Boy Scouts of America has forbidden the printing of all fur and trapping advertisements in all official publications. That other ju- venile publications continue to print these advertisements raises a moral question of far reaching importance: Shall ehil- dren be encouraged to trap fur-bearing animals or those that injure the crops of the farmer or work destruction of any sortg' Thousands of humanitarians would emphatically answer in the nega- tive.
 Are children to be encouraged to doom to torture and lingering death helpless creatures caught by cunning and de- ceit?
 The writer has been in close touch with trappers and with the business of trapping for twenty years. From every angle it is the lowest, most despicab ble business on earth. It is difficult to be- lieve that the woman lives who would consent to wear trapped furs if she were obliged to witness the tragedy of their procuring. If women would band to- gether for six months-and an organ ization in each city would accomplish the desired end-in refusing to purchase trapped furs. the boycott would be suffi- cient to put an end to the business and compel the attention of the controllers of the fur trade to fur farming. Furs are unnecessary as clothing, save for in- habitants of regions where other clothins. is unobtainable. Thousands of people have ceased to wear furs. It is fact

LEAGUE Of NATIONS
 PERMANENT HOME

I.e PaIais Des Nations For Many Years Has Been One of SWltzerIand's Great
 Hotels
By MARIE wIDMER

Over in Europe the League of Ma tions has long ago ceased to be mere ly a topic. It started it's official ex- istence with nineteen members on Jan nary 10, 1920. on the day when the Versailles treaty was ratified; eight additional states joined as an fmrre- diate result of this ratification and thirteen neutrals followed. China be- came a member when the peace treaty with Austria went into effect and a number of other nations have applied for membership on whose admittance the league will debate during it's first conference, scheduled to take place in the new Palace of the Nations at Ge- neva on November 15, next. Recent events have shown how seriously the league is taken on the other side, when two nations. Lithuania and Poland, actually called it into function by sub hitting their differences to this--the worlds greatest tribunal.
 When Geneva was chosen as the seat of the league it was hoped that Ameri- ca, too, would become one of it's pio- neer sponsors and plans were made to house the league in imposing quarters. somewhere in the suburbs of the city.

Would Penalize Giving
Out of False News

ATLANTA, June 26.-With the
idea of affording protection to the
newspapers and to the general pub
lie of Georgia, Representative Jno.
Y. Smith, of Fulton, will introduce
next week in the legislature a bill
making it a misdemeanor for any
person to furnish false information
to a newspaper.
it is understood that the need for
such legislation has been empha-
sized recently by the fact that vari-
Gus newspapers throughout the state
have been imposed upon by unscru-
pulous persons prompted by motives
of revenge. Instances have occur
red within the last two weeks where
false announcements of marriages
and engagements have been furnish
ed to newspapers and in one cast not
ably, that of young lady in Dublin
Ca, the publication of such an an
nouncement is alleged to have been
the cause of her committing suicide.
