Missionary Play
Very Successful
THREE-ACT COMEDY WAS WELL
STAGED AND VERY WELL
APPRECIATED.

The Presbyterian Missionary Socie-
ty which is gaining notoriety for its
varied and interesting programs con-
tinued its reputation last Wednesday
afternoon by putting on humorous
three act play in the auditorium of the
church.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
play was put on without complete
rehearsal the parts were carried out
exceedingly well and showed much
originality in those acting them out
and provoked much merriment from
the audience.
Twenty y-eight ladies took part in the
play representing many nationalities.
The first act showed four members
of Red Cross Unit trying to decide
on future activities of the organiza-
tion, finally deciding on taking up
Americanization.
They enter into the new work very
enthusiastically but make the mistake
lof going at it in the wrong way This
point is well brought out in the se-
cond act when the hostess invites a
number of foreigners of different ma
ltionalities to her home to Americanize
them and gets into a sorry pligh:: as
she trys to harmonic the different
| elements.
/ The third act which takes place
three months later shows the hostess
4 entertaining one lonely foreign wo-
man, but with an entirely different re-
suit as she succeeds first in winning
her confidence and teaches her how
to use the sewing machine and other
modern inventions, finally teaching
her how to use the bible.
Altogether the play was not only
very entertaining but instructive as
well, and the lesson was well brought
out and impressed on those present.
/ The appreciation of the large audi
ence was voiced by Mrs. Collins anG
a rising vote of thanks given to those
who had given SO generously of THEN
time and abilities in making the pro
4 gram success.
Much credit is also due the serving
committee, consisting of mesdames
u Iamberton, Edgar Winn, Ball, T. John
son and Harrington for the socia
hour, the delightful refreshments ant
| the inviting and home-like appearance,
of the church parlors. Contributed.

Road Maintenance Men.

1t has been called to our attention
that automobile drivers should exer-
else little care when passing the men
who are working on the road. Lately
several accidents have been narrow
ly averted by drivers of cars who shot
by the road men at a fifty-mile clip,
who seemed to think these men were
pests instead of a necessity. Car
drivers should show little considera-
tion for these road men, for it is
through their efforts that the roads
are kept in good repair.

CONSIDERABLE CONFUSION
SEEMS TO EXIST AS TO VOTING
FOR JUDGE FRANK CLAGUE

We learn that the impression seems
to prevail that it is not necessary to
vote at the primaries for Judge Cla-
que. This idea is absolutely erroni-
Gus. If you fail to register your vote
it means the triumph of the non-par-
tisan league man and the defeat of
Judge Clague.

story got abroad and it behooves every
straight Republican party voter in the
Second Congressional District to get
busy and correct this report by pass

Why not print all books in such q

ton Of how to dosit. He holds that
II one has to read pages on one eide
Of book only this will be held more
easily, the eyes will not wander. there
will be no necessity for changing the
position Of the head and neck. Thus
reading. especially of big heavy VOL
umes, will be less fatigning, not only
to the eyes, head and neck, but also
to the arms and hands.
g. Mr.. Winslow's idea is to print a
book so that you read straight ahead
from right-hand page to right-hand,
page, these being numbered consecu-s
lively; 81. then. when you have read
through to the last right hand page,
you turn the book upside down and
continue reading as before, what in
ordinary books are left hand pages
now being right-hand pages. This, of
course, involves printing all left hand
pages upside down and numbering
them consecutively from the back Of
the book. This would easily be ar.
ranged by the printer in laying out
the forms, though to get the pagina-
ton Of large book correct would re-
quire some nice calculation on the
printers part. ."--

SUFFRAGE CANNOT BE BLOCKED.

Whatever the outcome Of the proceedings initial
ed in Tennessee courts to restrain the governor and
state officials from proclaiming ratification OF suf-
frage, suffrage leaders have fear that the ballot
will be withheld from woman in November. Should
the decision be adverse and it is promptly appealed
to the United States supreme court, as it would
be, and expedited before that tribunal, there is
hardly doubt that in the light of the courts rul-
ing on the Ohio cases the Tennessee contention
would be oyerruled and ratification approved.
The point at issue is practically the same as in
Ohio. There it was contended that ratification Of
the suffrage and prohibition amendments was in
complete without submission to a referendum under
the state constitution: The supreme court held that
the federal constitution prescribed the manner Of
ratification by the legislatures, by convention,
butt made requirement for referendum after
ratification by legislature.
- The, Tennessee argument il that the state con-
stitution requires that no amendments shall be
1atified except by a legislature elected on that
isgue:. The federal constitution makes no quail
1cations, and unless the United States supreme
