One of the most brilliantly clever and
laughable farces produced in New
York in years, Nightie Night recently
ended a six months run at the Princess
Theatre, under the management of
AdOlph Klauber. and will be seen here
at the Auditorium next Monday night
This comedy is described as a Wide
awake farce and as a naughty nice
farce" but it is naughty only because
some of the people in the play think
some of the other players are naughty
when really the audience know that
everybody was very nice. but irresist-
IDLY funny in their efforts to get out of
the compromising situations in which
they were placed by the clever authors.

GARDNER HIGH
HERE TOMORROW
Opening Football Game ON Island Park
to start at 2.3O O'clock - Coach
St0lte Has Competent Team.

The prospect that Brattleboro high
school will be represented this year by
a football team fully capable of uphold
ing the high reputation of the teams OF
the last three years IS improving with
each day OF practice.
A number of football enthusiasts who
saw last Wednesdays practice We're
more than pleased with the work of the
squad and aqeeaaly surprised by the
number of students taking part.
While many of those students cannot
expect to make the regular team this
year because Of size, age, or lack of ex-
perience, their presence on the field IS
a great help to the team and an en-
couragement to the COACH and an assur-
ance that BrattleborO high will be ably
represented as the boys take the places
of members of the team who graduate
from year to year.
Coach Stolte will not be able to decide
definitely on the complete lineup against
Gardner high until tomorrow, but the
public may be sure of seeing the same
speedy style of game that last year won
for the BrattlebOrO high team the title OF
Connecticut valley champions.
With the exception of Justin Moran,
the same fast backheld of 1919 viii be
seen in action, and from present indlca-
tions the open position will be filled by
a man capable of completing a backtield
which will match up TO the usual Brat
tleboro high school standard.
A number of likely candidates are
working ont for places in the line which
were 50 capably filed last year by Aus
tin, Freeman and Moves, and it now. ap-
pears sure that Coach Stolte will have
another smooth running machine with
which to fight his way for the right to
compete with Rutland high Nov. 20 for
the 1920 state championship,
The game tomorrow will be called
promptly at 80 at Island Park. 1t IS
hoped that good crowd will attend and

And be it noted that he could have

to shirk any responsibility.
It happened near Verdun, in the 81
day battle; Of the Argonne. The Tegi

was pretty badly shot up. The Huns
were attacking the Americans hard.

TURKISH WOMAN
MINISTER OF
EDUCATION

Constantinople, May "A
striking illustration of the gene

men which has been affected by
the war is affordedsby the desig-
nation of Mrs. Halide Edib Han

Mnstap.sase.4zaenaal IS 4efhinet-
Mrs. Hanem is the wife of DR..
Adam Bey, formerly president Of
the Turkish Red Crescent and
until recently Mustapha Kemal's
Minister of Health. She is 35
years old, the mother of three
children, a devout Mohammedan
and has attained fame as the au-
thor Of several strongly pan-Is-
lamic novels.
/ Shortly after Turkey entered
the war the need for nurses be-
came 50 great that women, for the
first time, We're permitted to ac-
company the armies and enter
military hospitals as relief work

mOnstrated remarkable efficien-

possible for Turkish women to en-
ter university classes with men.
Alta the present time, however
they are still barred from thea
tres and amusements Of various
kinds, except special. performan-
ces for women only.
Mrs. Halide Edib Hanem is.
perhaps, the most celebrated pro-
neer in the movement for the
higher education Of Turkish wo-
men. She was the first Turkish
girl to graduate from the Ameri-
can woman's college here, des-
pite the persistent opposition Of
former Sultan Abdul Hamid, who
forced her to discontinue her
studies many times.
DIR. Mary Mills Patrick, presi-
dent of the college, and American
diplomats in Turkey, always took
great interest i nher struggle
for education against such strong
odds and she finally finished her
course number of years ago
subsequently three Of her sisters

Although educated in a school
where the teachers were ali
