LAUGHING CURE IS
THEME Of COMEDY

Life is joke-a huge joke
whether it is on us or the other fell
low; when we can see it-well, then
it isn't on u.s."
What's this all about? Just one OF
DR.. Carey's maxims. Who Is DR..
Carey? A new kind of physician. one
of the principal characters in the best
little comedy ever staged in Winnie
mucca, which will be presented by the
Senior class of the high school next
Wednesday. June s, in the high school
auditorium.
The application of the Laughing cure
to a stubborn case of lack of humor
and chronic inyalidism, with the re-
suits accomplished is calculated to
keep the audience in the state which
DR.. Carey. assisted by Mrs. Hanson's
family, tried to induce in her.
The Senior class is putting on this
clever comedy to raise funds to assist
in paying commencement expenses,
and the students have been practicing
faithfully for iae past month to make
the production the success it is sure
to be.
Laughing in big doses is the best
beauty dope on the market" says the
doctor. Regularly applied. both in
formally and axternally I ouarantaa IN
to remove every wrinkle from both
brow and brain. Take in the big show
Wednesday night and lose some OF
those wrinkles"

souri, river will quit work rather than
accept a cut in wages. w. w. Wolcott.
general chairman of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen for the western
lines of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad, declared. The senti-
ment of the men has been determined
fairly well before the decision of the
railway labor board in Chicago was
made public, he said. "The men can
not afford to accept a cut" Wolcott
said.
Heads of the four railway brother
hoods withheld specific comment on
the announced wage reduction. Not
a word until we get a chance to look
at the ORDER" said w. G. Lee. presi-
dent of the trainmen.

The day before, during debate on
the same measure, when the mattsI
of deficiency in the prohibition en-
forcement Office was up, and the
House was endeavoring to satisfy
itself regarding the many failures
charged against that office, Represen-
tative Volstead, chairman of the COM
mittee on judiciary, yielded the floor
to the Congressman from Nevada who
said:
Before the enactment of the eight
eenth amendment, IL you wanted to
buy still. you went to a chemical
supply house and signed an affidavit
and went through about as much form
as you would in taking a ciyil-service
examination; and after purchasing
that still and putting it in a chemical
laboratory or an assay Office, Fed
eral commissioner came there occa-
sionally to see IL you owned that still

else. But short time after the en-
actment of the eighteenth amendment
the Democratic Treasury Department
rendered a decision that all you need
do was to fill out a form declaring
you were not going to use this still
for manufacturing intoxicating Ii
quors. At the present time in the Po-
lice Gazette and other publications
there are advertisements for the sale
of stills to anyone on the receipt of a
postal card. Now, there is not any
thing that is more responsible for
moonshining and bootlegging than
this one thing" (Applause.)

preparing to adjourn Friday until

Poles Driven Back,

LONDON, MAY 2S.-Germans
Saturday drove the Polish insur-
gents in Siesia back toward Gross
Strchlitz. for a distance of five miles
said dispatch to the London Times
from Oppels.
The Times correspondent de-
clares there is every sign that the
Germans have the resources of the
regular army at their disposals that
they have been concentrating forces
and indications point to a determin-
ed effort on their part to recover
possession of Upper Silesia. The
move is regarded as more serious
than q mere reaction against the
insurgents. The correspondent as
serts the inter-allied commission
was unable to prevent the outbreak
of fighting and is powerless to In
tervene. The Polish insurgents have
been consolidating their interests.
They are reported to have succeed
ed in starting working mines, found
aries and factories and are squeez-
ing the allies out of the towns they
occupy in order to complete their
hold on the railway between kata-
wotz and Gleiwitz. Every sort OF
pressure is being employed to COM
pol the surrender of these two
towns.
The Times correspondent de-
clares that while the Poles are mas
ter in the industrial district the Ger
mans exercise control over the
northern and western par. of the
plebiscite area.

While Margaret George. twelve
years old, of Androvette street,
Kreischerville, was picking up DRIFT

yesterday morning, she placed her
hand on what she thought was

to be a live sea lion moved in the
water.
The girl badly frightened ran
home a short distance from the
shore and told what she had seen.
Several members of the Charleston

house nearby hearing the girl scream
ran to the waters edge. They Sc
cured the object and brought it to

Miller, two members of the athletic
club with the assistance of others
pulled the mammal upon the beach
and hung it up onto a tree.
The sea lion which is believed to
have been the same one that has
been disporting in Prince Bay and
Raritan Bay, for the past several
months is thought to have been
struck by a motor boat as there was
deep cash in its head. This Is
thought to have caused it to sue
comb as soon as it was hauled on
the beach.
The sea lion measured six feet
