tract they have made for Para

appear Friday evening:
It has been the ambition of the
management to furnish the high.

" as a civic benefit, and to &C
complish this the most faithful
work, requiring time and hard
labor, has been done gratis by

Finding that the show has a
little more than paid expenses,
better pictures yet have been
gone after, with confidence that
the public will cooperate With an
increased attendance which will
meet the extra cost of the new
service.
Some of the pictures on the
early bookings are, The Fighting

BRIGHTWORK

II IPLFNG might write a stirring |
IN paragraph about polishing brass |
on a battleship. o. Henry could at
least drag laugh out of the subject.
Any sailorman could drag laugh out
OF Etching post just trying to de-
scribe brightwork and what 1t means
to his brine-sOaked soul.
The American battle fleet used to be
white. On the cruise around the
world in 1909 foreigners marveled at
our cleanliness. The ships were like
great floating advertisements for some
washing compound. They even smell
clean" exclaimed an Australian.
Tldiness is all right and so is health
full welI-airedness. Put warfare against
filth can be carried too far. After the
SpaniSh-American war the eternal ir'
ritation Of painting and scrubbing and
polishing coupled with ironbound
rules to preserve the virgin purity of
what had been painted, scrubbed, and
polished nearly drove men to distrac-
ton. This one thing was said to have
been responsible for more than % per
cent of assertions at that time.
Finally war paint was adopted IN
place of white. Rails and upper works
were also gray. Even guns, once so
beautifully polished, now faded into
the misty background Of the sea no.
rizon. Battle lanterns and search
lights were black Gangways were
dull shellaced. Every effort was made
to assure cleanliness but without be-
ing fnicky or foppish, All surfaces
were made dull that could be. Today
"brightwork call" on the bugle at
SIS Il. IN. means more than half an
hour. Of overhaullng than Of actual
shining.
The whole ship is divided into clean.
ing stations. During the morning
watch from $50 to 7:30 the men
sweep and scrub patchwork, canvas,
decks, masts and other parts. The
period from SIS to s :45 is merely
final touch.
In the engine end dynamo rooms
there is a good deal Of metal surface
to be shined. But this is considered In
the class with scrubbing on deck. How.
ever, outdoor machinery, such as
winches, cranes, and capstans have
small implanted parts which are pol.
ished at "brlghtwork" time.
| Wood cnn also be brightwood. In
fact this term has come to signify any
surface implanted. For instance the
gunwales hedges or ralls) Of boats are
no longer vanished. They are scrub.

papered until softly white and smooth.
Working parts Of gun are polish.
3D. but the barrel is painted dull gray.
A concession to shininess Is made by
using gray enamel or by olling the
painted surface.>
It's not hard work though, and
there is something in It that appeals
to the met. A few bright spots change
the whole ships appearance. It Is like
the single pearl In the dark tie Of q
well-dressed mans apparel.
Jack might not entirely agree. But
his esthetlc taste Is less stunted than
he tries TO pretend,

With only the little bit Of scrap Of

he was quite sure he saw one. He gave
one awful shrek and the girl rushed

PLANS FOR NEXT WINTERS EN-.
TERTAINME1ST COURSE.

The local Post of the American
Legion recently concluded arrange
ments for another Entertainment
Course for next Winter. This Course
is a more ambitious one than that
presented the past Winter being
made up of five numbers instead of
four, each one being of a different
nature than the others, thus assur-
ing a variety of entertainment that
cannot fail to please everyone. 1t is
hoped to have one number in each
of the five months beginning with
October and ending with February.
The attractions booked are: Davis
and Company, said to be the finest
magicians giving exhibitions in this
section of the country; the Del Mar
Quartette, composed of young ladies
who sing, play and read; DR.. Arthur
W Evans, the eminent Welsh lectur-
er; the Scott Trio, two gentlemen and
lady who play, sing and imperson-
ate; and last, Josephine Martino, an
operate singer with accompanying
artists.
An Entertainment Course of this
kind provides about the only method
whereby good things can be brought
to the people of Bradford during
the Winter months and we should be
glad that some organization in town
is willing to assume the responsible
ity of looking out for this matter.
