Glasses Will
Continue As
CircusPasses
CopyriEht Is11.

The circus will be in town
Monday, but the schools will not
be aware of II. as far as absence
from classes is concerned. Stu
dents will not be permitted,
probably on account of the
closeness of the final exams. to
view the parade and thus lose
the school hours.
This was learned yesterday
from the ofice OF the assistant
superintendent of schools, Mr..
Kramer. who made an announce
ment to that effect.
II school children want a look
at the elephants, or the rhinoc-
eros. or see the pretty maidens
swing dizzily through the air on
trspeze, or walk a silk tight
rope, they must go at night with
their parents or see the animals
on Sunday Afternoon when the
Robinson shows come into town.
1t has hitherto been customary
for the schools 20 close kr one
circus and one circus parade. As
there will be several here this
spring. school will close for q
short while for at least one.

NEW YORK. May 4.-Prohibition
has presented a perplexing problem
to the gold-diggers who haunt the
gulches and canyons of the Tender
loin. 1t was the flock of pre-
luncheon cocktails that started the
shopping party for a sable coat or
mauve roadster. The lunch hour
was the psychological time for gold
digging. for after dinner the shops
were closed-and perhaps by to-
morrow there was a changed mind.
The poor, tired business man now
lunches alone! A silver flask is a
dangerous thing and he is taking no
chances. 1t was not unusual along
Automobile Row for after-luncheon
shoppers to drive up in a taxi and
in a short while the girl would bowl
to her Riverside Drive apartment
in a mauve roadster and the tired
business man would 60 back to the
grueling grind at the ONCE.
And so 1t is now that the laven-
der ladies must have all the proven
bal thrift of Harry Lauder to have
new fur coat each year. Some
are complaining that even now they
face the prospect OF wearing this
winters furs next year.
Broadway is shorn OF its spend
ers as well as its splendors. In the
| flush days when stocks were sky
rocketing a luncheon check, with
| the cocktails and wine carefully
tabulated, was usually about $50
! for two. Now a IS check will al
most make discouraged walters
smile.
People smiled when Childs OPEN

in the shopping district. 1t was
really the keen sensing Of the tight
wadders, for the place is packed at
the luncheon hour with men who
formerly took their fair charmers to
Sherry's. Delmonico's and the
Knickerbocker.

Help ofDrama
\ To Youth Told
By MissHayes

Mss Helen Hayes, pretty and
demure leading lady in Bah"
and other successful musical
comedies, just out OF her teens,
told a representative of the
Boys and Girls Herald the other
day while she perched cozily on
a chair in her dressing room,
how amateur dramatics help
ASery student.
Miss Hayes. who is a native of
Washington, said dramatics help
all, whether they aspire to stage
success or not.
TN the first place. it is we'll, I
think, for every one to know
dience. Perhaps one knows how,
but hasn't the confidence in him
self. Where, tell me, is a better
place to gain this confidence
than on the amateur stage?
ITO those who want to be-
come actors / suppose the fact
that amateur dramatics AFFORD an
excellent opportunity to discover
and develop talent. is most i'm
portant. There is no better
place, in my opinion, to get early
training for the theater than on
the amateur stage.
Frequently. theatrical mana
gers will slip into the audience
at an amateur performance, to
spot new talent. Why at one per-
formance given by the Hasty
Pudding Club of Harvard there
were three managers in the au-
dience. So you see by taking
part in club or school theatricals
one may be making the very op-
portunity he has been waiting
for to get a place on the pro-
fessional stage"
That, by the way, is how Miss
Hayes broke in" At the age
of S she took part in an amateur
entertainment held in Washing
ton, her home town. Lew Fields,
the comedian. discovered" her.
Soon she was taking parts on
the professional stage-and now
look at her!
"And you know" continued
Mss Hayes (who isn't a bit
fiuffed up over her success), "de-
fects in a persons voice are
often noticed for the first time
when he speaks before an au-
Sience-much to his embarrass-
ment. Amateur dramatic re-
hearsals will soon tell whether
or not your voice is of color.
and you will then be able to cor
rect it.
But besides all this there is
the fact that it's real fun to take
part in an amateur play. I
know, I've done it."

MIR. KING HERE. IN
INTEREST OF CANAL
II Government Does Not Purchase Dis
NAL Swamp Canal, Elizabeth
City Is The Loser.

NJ Z. King, president of the. Dismal
Swamp Canal Co., who was in Elizabeth
City this week in conference with Cham
Der of Commerce officials and prominent
citizens, insists that if Elizabeth City
loses the Dismal Swamp Canal it will
be because of the apathy of Elizabeth
City.
Prior to the opening free of toll the
government owned Chesapeake & Abe
marie canal, the Dismal Swamp Canal
carried IS to so per cent of the water
borne commerce between the Chesapeake
Bay and the inland waters of North
Carolina. The Dismal Swamp Canal
was money maker in it's day and under
the management of Mr.. King it paid
off it's indebtedness, made extensive i'm
provements and put aside a surplus.
That surplus is fast being exhausted,
since traffic has been. diverted to the
free government canal miles away from
Elizabeth City. -.
An effort is being made to persuade
Congress to buy the Dismal Swamp Ca
nal and maintain it in the interest of
the cities of Elizabeth City and Hamp-
ton Roads and in the interest of the
25,OOO people who, could be proftably
served by this canal. Mr.. King wants
the active support of Elizabeth City
people of influence in urging Congress
to consider the purchase.

SOME ECONOMIC FACTS
FROM CITY DIRECTORY

Here are some little economic facts
revealed by the new, city directory OF
Elizabeth City. Elizabeth City has IL
LAWYERS and % preachers. And even 40
lawyers and preachers can't keep us
all straight, tho they all manage to make
a living trying.
There are also 80 retail grocers in
Elizabeth City, or an average of a groc-
ery store for every 25 families, if we
coupt>f five to a family. The ratio is
ee worse than that, but then we must
admit that our population is as
small as given by the last census.
Of the % preachers in Elizabeth City
12 are white and II are colored. But
of the II lawyers, there is only one col
ored. The list of 80 retail groceries
does not include nine wholesale groc-
cries, say nothing of -jobbers:
Some things the directory does not
Ist;. it does not LIST dairy, a public
library, a hospital, a city park, or
play ground, as well as some other
things a proud citizen is ashamed to
mention. ~, s..
