At lockwood PARK.
Manager Hill Tells of New
PooI-Sunday Movies and
Dinners Today

Hugh Hill, who manages Edgewood
park for the Hillco ADJUSTMENTS, is much
elated over the fine new bathing beach at
Edgewood park. I'VE have spent $35, 900
on that model bathing beach," said Mr..
HILL land every time 1 take a look at
it, it makes me happy, for I realize it
will be a regular water paradise for the
district this summer"
Mr.. Hill stated that he had not been
able to open the beach as soon as he
had at first anticipated, because Of the
magnitude of the undertaking of putting
in solid concrete and stone bottom in
the pool.
1--WE have taken every precaution to
make it absolutely ideal and perfect
said Mr.. Hill, and have sunk a well Is
feet in diameter through many feet of
rock to get the purest water obtainable.
! On top of that we have gone ahead and
installed liquid chlorine publication
system This was all done to insure the
patronage of as pure and clear a water
as is served at the dining table"
| Workmen are now busy putting the
| finishing touches on the pool and 1t is
the hope of the management to have the
work completed within the next week.
| Sunday movies are on the bill for to-
day again in the new theatre, with a
comedy scream being booked. Then, too,
the park will be enlivened by the hun
dreds of visitors who go out to partake
of the wonderful menus of Mountain
View Inn, which will serve chicken and
vegetable dinners this afternoon and
night ,as well as other tempting deli
acies.

to willow and rattan for the purpose as
it is much more pliable than other ma

Good Women" has everything nee
essary to the successful production.
There is perfection of cant and story
1t has the guarantee of perfection on
the label which reads Directed by
Cashier" The scenario was written by
G. Gardner Sullivan from his own story
of the same name.
GOOD Women" presents vital. com
pelling drama in which the eternal
clash of men and women against the
rules of convention laid down by an
memorable social system, forms the
central theme. We have among the
characters the woman whose conduct
places her in the good woman class and
the other who declaring that her life
is her own to live as she sees fit, sneers
at convention and becomes a social out
cast. There is rather strong lesson
in Good Women" but it Is in no sense
a preachment.
The production Is made real and sin
cere through the earnest efforts Of
the powerful cast chosen to portray the
various characters. Rosemary Theby.

Voices Are Silent.
Not q sound could be heard except
the light hand-clapping of the wor-
shipers calling on the enshrined spirit
of the emperor. No human voice was
heard. There was not even an audible
prayer; in complete silence the multi
tude paid their respects to the spirit
of Meiji and passed on.
On the two following Gays the
shrine was again visited by hundreds
of thousands, and the proceedings
were enlightened by wrestling and 9TH

of the emperor, worshiped at the
shrine on the second day.

In cases of chronically sqneaky

the weight is removed from the
springs and then soaking these latter
with kerosene.
Chronic squeaking in the braking

Tokyo.-After six years labor and
an expenditure estimated at $lO.coo'-
600, the national shrine to the late
Emperor Mutsuhito was opened re-
Gently with solemn Shinto ceremonies
and amid impressive manifestations
of loyalty. For three days the popu-
lace of Tokyo celebrated the occasion.
Every street was decorated with punt
ing, and from the humblest door Ian
terms were displayed at night.
The municipality gave flower snow
and open-air performances and the
atrical performances in Hibiya park'
but for the, most part the festivities
were comparatively organized by the
citizens in different wards. At hun
dreds Of central points stages mad
been erected, where vaudeville shows
were given and there were fireworks
both night and day.
Over 25O,OOO persons from the coun-
try districts visited the city during
the festival.
The shrine is a typical Shinto build
ing of plain wood, and of the simplest
possible construction. The opening
ceremony was attended by over 2,OOO
persons and officials, and lasted about
three hours The central feature was
the delivery to Prince Ichijo, warder
of the shrine, Of the name tablets OF
the late emperor, and their installa'
ton in the inner sanctuary.
Prince Kujo, q relative Of the, en-
peror, delivered commemorative ora
ton to which Prince Ichijo replied
The shrine was thereafter opened to
the public and at least 100000 people
worshiped before it during the re
mainder of the day.
The scene where these multitudes
of people were paying their respects
to the memory Of the dead emperor
was impressive. The main entrance
to the shrine is by means Of a new
and very broad road about two miles
in length. Along this road all the day
and evening two great strings Of peo
pie poured, one going to the shrine
the other returning.
