SPANISH CLASS
PRESENTS PLAY
At HIGH SCHOOL

"Castllos de Torresnobles" is the
title of a comedy in three acts pre-
scented last night in the high school
auditorium by the Spanish depart
ment of the school, before a large
and appreciatlve audience. includ-
ing many of Albuquerque Spanish
Americans. Colorful and attrac-
tive entre-acts of Spanish song and
dance added to the program.
The first act opens at garden
part at the home of the marquesa
of the castle, introducing an anus
ing love theme which is carried out
in the second act with vocal and
violin serenades to the fair senOrita
and closes satisfactorily in the last
act given on the plaza at night.
The diction throughout was ex-
cellent and the idiom employed
with elegance.
Particularly attractive was the
song, La Perjura," by the Misses
Emma Sanchez and Rosalia San
chez, who looked and acted the
part of old Castillo. The solo LA
del Panuelo Rojo" by Miss Elsie
! Clayton was also we'll done. The
Aragonese Jota in song and dance
was very pretty and drew much
applause from the audience.

LINE DIVE RTED;

Outrage Is Discovered Be-

Casualties to the Crown
Forces Show a Decrease.

Dublin, Feb. 1S.-lt is officially
announced that the tracks of a rail-
way line in County Donegal on
Wednesday were diverted from the
permanent way to run into a lake
between Cashelnagor and Gwee-
dore. The outrage was discovered,
however before a mishaD occurred.
Todays official review says the
report of outrages in the last week
afford grounds for satisfaction. The
greatly reduced number of casual
ties to crown forces. it adds, leads
to the opinion that the recent law
less activities have reached the
maximum and the arrests and
seizures being made daily should
result in a sensible improvement
in the situation shortly.
A large quantity of arms and
ammunition were discovered by the
military and police last night at
the asylum of St John Of God, near
Stillorgan, County Dublin. Two
arrests were made.

A "C0COANUT STORY"
COMES FROM HAWAII

A short time ago Joseph Barnett
and Mrs. Barnett sailed from San
Francisco. Calf. for Honolulu,
Hawaii. Yesterday Mr.. and Mrs.
H. f. Sherman received from Mr..
Barnett. from Honolulu, an i'm
mense cocoanut, and by giving it
the right kind of a shake one used
to circus colored lemonade during
these times of strict prohibition,
would be convinced without
thorough investigation that some
thing good and invigorating had
been smuggled through to the
manager of the Barnett Amuse-
ment company.
However, Mr.. Sherman killed all
thoughts of good times by stating
that the shake was a "cocoanut
milk shake and harmless. He
was willing to crack the cocoanut
to convince all doubling Thomases
that he was telling the truth, but
friends knew that Sherman was
like George Washington and the
cherry tree story, hence insisted
that the cocoanut. whole. should be
turned over to Mrs, Sherman.
