High praise is due Miss Margaret Kie1y, who directed the performance and to Miss Brances Walsh, accompanist.

The solo and duet work of the pair was commendable, es- pecially in their song, Love is Such a Funny Thing."l Miss Esther Ho- nan was seen in the role of Court Chaperone, Lady Ida. Miss Honan was very we'll suited to the part she played Her efforts to win the Kings love were delightful. The King. father of BuIBuI was played by Joseph Miller. MT. Miller pos sesses a splendid baritone voice and was appreciated by the entire au- dfence. Miss Genevieve Brown ap- peared in the role of Lilla, the lady in waiting. She was well received splendid.

Among the oth< CT soloists were: Miss Theresa O'Brten, Miss Mae Casserly, Miss Lei la Walsh, Miss Irene Hassett, Ray mond Below, Joseph Onkey and Jerry Kie1y.
 Probably the hits of the evening were the dances by Miss Gladys Mur- phy and John Nelson. Little Miss Murphy. garbed in a quaint, old fash toned dress, pleased the audience with her supreme toe dancing. John Nell son, who always proves a favorite at social affairs, danced an eccentric number. Because of the numerous encores he was forced to repeat his dance a. number of times.

 At great length she explained the benefits derived from learning to read, the deficiencies of that particu- lar pupil, and the desirability of in- mediate improvement. The mother listened in silence for while, then she said:
 "I never learned to read, and l got married. My sisters never learn ed to read, and they got married My husbands sister never learned to read, and she got married. You learned to read, and you didn't get married. I don't care whether my child learns to read or not. World Outlook.

Canada Uses Albany
Brick Mans Invention

ALBANY, Ga.AAn invention by
an Albany man which has been
in successful operation here for
about two years is now begin
ming to receive widespread no.
tice through it's adoption by a
large brick manufacturing company
in Canada. The invention is a
method of continuously burning
brick which was perfected and pat.
ented by M, If. Minter, superinten
dent of the plant of the Flint River
Brick company, located here. The
two years operation of the system
here proved it's success beyond per-
adventure, according to a represent
.ative of Merkleys, Ltd. a brick
manufacturing company of Ottawa,
Canada, who: came to Albany, investi-
gated the system, and engaged the
services of Mr.. Minter to go to Can
ada and install a similar system
there. After operating the plant in
Canada for eight months, the head
of that company described it's op-
erations to a representative of the
Brick and Clay Record, a leading
trade journal of the brick industry
The journal gives a long and de-
tailed description of the system, IL
Illustrated with numerous photo
graphs. Under the Minter system
the continuous system of burning is
carried on through a regular cycle
of operations.
The principal advantages claimed
for this system include a substan-
tia1 saving in fuel and speeding up
of production.

ALEXANDER CITY, Ala.-Aunt
Betsy Foshee died of old age at

John w. Foshee, Sr.. her husband,
grief-stricken, stood by her bedside
as the neighbors ministered the last

wish of himself and his wife that
their souls might soar in space to-
gether" when the time came for one
or the other to leave this mortal
life.
Tears fell UNDECIDED down his hoary
checks, as John Foshee ga8ed for the
last time upon what had been his life
companion. Without a word to those
who were gathered about the bed
side, he bent himself upon stiffened
knees, lifted his face heaven ward,
and voiced an appeal to this Maker.
Separate not our souls, oh God =
he bfeathed. Let us come to Thee
as we have lived~-toðer!"
Slightly awe1 by the fervor of the
prayer, the nefghhors stood silent,
with bowed heads, SEINE of them,
mans face. AS he knelt there, his
face searching upward for a sight
of God, his expression changed. The
pallor of his face became more pro.
nounced, an ashen hue spread from
his chin upward. His lips became
blue. He fell forward, his head rest
ing upon the. side of the bed.
His prayer was answ cred. and his
spirit flew by the side of its mate

How?"

BRITISH WILL
USE AIRPLANE IN
QUEST FOR POLE

LONDON, Feb. 21.-(By the AS
sociated Press.) 1.-The British eXpe-
dition to the South Pole, which
plans TO start in July next, will use a
Kangaroo" airplane, formerly a
fighting machine, for the final stage
of the journey. This plane will be
fitted with skis instead of wheels to
enable it TO land in the snow.
The aircraft will make its actual
start from the Great Barrier, and
will proceed to the South Pole over
the great glacier, and then across
known but unnamed mountains.
1t is proposed to take a crew of
not less than four, in addition TO
which a sledge containing a tent,
shovels, cooking stove and camping
equipment and provisions for at
least ten weeks must be carried.
These provisions and the sledge
necessary in the event Of an acct
dent, which might compel the party
to return to the base on foot, will
leigh approximately $50 pounds.
This weight, together with the
necessary fuel for 1,500-miIe
flight, necessitate a big powerful
machine, as the mountains to be
flown over are over $4,000 feet above
sea level.
The Kangaroo" was one of the lat
est fighting bombers designed for
the British air ministry and at the
time of the armistice was largely
used on the anti-submarine patrol
service. The machine is a biplane
measuring rs feet from wing-tip 20
wing-tip, and is fitted with twin en-
gines developing $50 horsepower.
One great trouble to be overcome
is the question of cooling, or rather
the heating of the engine, as the
temperature which will be experience
ed is only - degrees above zero in
summer, and experiments are now
being carried out with a view to
