The lowering clouds on Wed
nesday morning caused many
anxious thoughts. but soon they
lifted and the day bid fair fol
the open air Halifax County Pa.
geant, which cnce postponed or
account of weather conditions,
was looked forward to with
much interest.
In this Pageant of Halifax
county and centralizing around
the Roanoke river with its strong
and mighty current flowing out
and onward ever reaching for
broader and higher things, the
part was taken by Miss Sisk, one
Of the county teachers, and
shows the history of the county
from the days of the Aborigal
Indians, through the Colonial
period, the days of the Revolu-
ton, the days of the war between
the States and up through the
world war to present day condi :
tions. The different schools of
the county pictured well some
period of this general outline. To
Weldon was given the Revolu-
tionary period. Mr.. R. T. Dan
iel took the character of Governor
Nash, DR.. w. G. Suiter that of
Governor VIM. R. Davie, c. R.
Daniel, Gen. Davie Allen Jones,
Miss Sal aders, Flora Mcdonald,
and many other characters of
that notable period were well
taken and effectively carried out.
The staging of the Pageant
was to have taken place on the
beautiful green in East Weldon
where a natural amphitheatre
rises from the stream of a little
brooklet and reaching to the top
Of the hills on the outskirts of
this city, the management decid-
ed after the storm to use the
school auditorium.
Oneof the features of Weldon's
part was a beautiful minuet
danced on the green in true CO.

A SEVERE SHOCK
When Orders Were Issued to Close the
Cabarets And Dance Halls

New York, Jan. l3.-Merriment along
the gay white way" received a severe
jolt when police made the rounds early
to-day of all cabarets and dance halls
with orders to rigidly enforce the state
excise law forbidding them to remain
open after | o'clock
A series Of raids by plain clothes de-
tectives resulted in the arrest of three
bertenders, charged with selling liquor
without license.
Announcements Of closing at this
unwonted hour, with the diners and
dancers having nowhere to go but
home, dropped on cabarets like bomb
shells. But there was general exodus
to the streets.
Some managers who conduct all-night
restaurants, after the amusement ban,
refused to close their doors.
Thomas Healy, who manages a series
of uptown resorts, said he had received
no closing order IF those wicked peo-

SALvAGING PAPER
Saving Waste Paper Makes Money For
st. Louis Schools.

Salvaging waste paper has become a
part Of a well-planned system of educa-
tion for thrift in the public schools of
st. Louis, where the children are
taught that great many things that
people throw away are Of real value
because they can be made use of again.
Secretary of Commerce Alexander in
Commerce reports for June, 1920, pub
lished the results of this campaign
during the school year l9l9-l920. The
work is being kept up during the cur
rent year. The proceeds 90 to the
Teachers Benevolent Annuity associa-
tion, formed to aid teachers who re-
tire after long service and relieve mem
vbers temporarily in need
The report says:
Pupils in the St Louis public
schools collected and brought to school
4g4, ISL pounds of waste paper during
the first quarter This amount repre-.
sents an average contribution of 4.e4
pounds for each Of the 100000 children
now attending the public schools. If
the rate established during the fret
quarter Is maintained for the balance
of the year, approximately 100000
pounds of old paper will have been
salvaged.
During the week Of October 1922
more than 35 tons Of old newspapers
and magazines were collected bv lO0.-
600 pupils in b public schools. ac-
cording to Stephen NJ Wagner. chair

mittee. This amount Is the largest
collected during any one week since the
waste paper saving movement started
in the school several wears ago. and
represents a value Of sl.2ll.n at pres

WILSON .SIDESTEPS
O'CALLACHAN CASE
Will Let the Cabinet Iron Out the Diff,
culties Between State and La
Dor Departments.

Washington, d. G., Jan While
the department of state and labor con
tnued at loggerheads over settlement
of the question of his admissibilty to
this country Lord Mayor O'Callaghan
of Cork, who arrived at Newport News
last week as stowaway without a
passport, WIS here to-day to consum-
mate the announced purpose vi his vis-
it to America by appearing before the
commission of the committee of one
hundred investigating conditions in Ire
land
Indications that President Wilson
would leave to his cabinet officers the
ironing out Of the nterdepartmental
difficulties, which have arisen, were
believed to have removed all pos.
sibility of any sudden development in
the case that might result in the termi-
nation of the lord mayors parole by
Secretary of Labor Wilson and thus
prevent his appearance before the com
mission.
Reference of the case by the state de.
partment to the department OF justice
was imminent to-day, officials of the
former department having stated that
such action would be taken to secure
execution Of its order for OCalla-
glan's deportation, should Secretary
Wilson continue his refusal to recog-
nize state department jurisdiction in
the case.
On appearing before the Irish com
to-day Lord Mayor 0'Calla-
CHAN was prepared to relate particular
ly the story Of the burning of Cork and
events leading up to it. Other witnesses

brother Of the late Lord Mayor Mac

panion on the stowaway trip across

chairman of the urban council Of NAL
low, ireland

AUSTRIA IS FACING
A NEW CRISIS
Marked Dissatisfaction Exists Among
the People and General Strike
Is Imminent.

Vienna, Jan. Tension over the
existing economic and political stua-
lion in the Austrian republic seems to
he increasing.
Doors of the big hotels in Vienna
are shuttered at dusk because of com
munist demonstrations against them as
symbols of profteering.
Postal employees have announced they
have called a strike, the socialist ele-
ment demanding that these workers be
organized as a labor union. The con
aeIvatives refused TO say whether they
viii declare a strike against the strike
of their co-workers.
Mail collections ceased tonight and
telephone and telegraph service will be
suspended tomorrow night if matters
are not settled before that time. IL is
Klieved, however, that an adjustment
is improbable and that a general strike
viii be called. Workmen demand that
the deduction of the income tax from
their pay envelopes cease until the cap
itsl levy law enacted by the last ma
tional assembly is enforced They de-
clare they will continue their strike un-
I'll profiteering ia checked.
The government to-day drafted dras-
fie regulations against profiteering.
providing for heavy penalties for viola
fions Of the law. Notable among the
laws which have been allowed TO be
come dead letters il one which ordered
that tags showing the fixed price Of ar
ficles Of luxury has not been affixed to
these goods. At present articles not
under government control are offered at
fabulous prices.
The government has conceded new
salary increases totalling more than
fglr billion kroner annually and has
GlriOunced 100 per cent increases on the
postage and freight rates to be charged
for tobacco, salt and alcohol.
Officials In foreign circles, who have
come in close contact with the situa-
ton, assert Austria is approaching a

easiness was increased By a report

peror Charles was already on his way
