Play Wrfttn by Miss Rebecca Dial Well
Received in Columbia.
The. following account Of the first
performance Of Sand" the play writ
ten by Miss Rebecca Dial, daughter of
Senator N. b. Dial, of this city, ap-
Deared in The State Friday morning
and is an indication of the success with
which the play was received in Colum-
bia:
Sand" played last night before u
goodly number of legislators and their
friends at the Town theater, proved to
be both Il laughable and thought-pro-
voking play. The story has to do with
a neighborhood of backward illiterates
who because of the teaching of two
girls from Winthrop college learn to
read and write and to live better and
ruler lives. 1t was the sort of "larn-
ing that even helped rumatiz." accord
ing to Sam Anderson, admirably played
by Palmer McMaster, the old faith er
who strongly opposed "larnin" at first.
The parts were we'll chosen and
played with an understanding surprs-
ing in amateurs. Miss Frances Sylvan,
as Mrs. Sam Anderson or ma" was
amusing and brought roars of laughter
from the interested audience. Miss Re
becca Dial, author and producer of the
play, as Minnie Niagara Jones, was
particularly good, showing real un-
derstanding of the silly, vain back
woods girl with no ambition nor op-
Iportunity. She made the lawmakers
laugh a-plenty. W. c. Seagle as jim
ME Anderson was a real boy and add
ed great part to the life Of the play
The school teacher, Miss Irene
Warter, as Miss Gary, played her part
we'll, as did r. E. Halford as Warren
Anderson, the soldier son of Sam An
derson Miss Elise Currell as Mary
Ferguson, Mrs. B. L. Parkinson as Mrs
Roebuck Lorick Hornsby as Liza Anne
Roebuck, S. B. Estes as Buck Upshaw;
A. o. V. Hoffman as Sandy Lawton, G.
NJ. lIleazer as Fl. A. Harrington and
| Mcbride Dabbs as Mr.. Peyton, are
worthy of praise.
The play. was given in four acts,
the first showing the poorly arranged
home Of the Andcrsons and the fami-
! ly with mortgage hanging over its
head at the time Of the appearance of
the school teacher. The final act shows
the home very much improved, things
! tastefully arranged, Mr.. and Mrs. An
derson neatly dressed, Jimmie bothered
over having to wash so much, the mort
| gage paid, and Warren Anderson,
college graduate and engaged to marry
the school teacher, Miss Gary.
The play was human and appealing
in It's understanding of the adult IL
literate. 1t was given for the benefit
OF the illiteracy commission, of which
l,Dr. Patterson Wardlaw is chairman
DR.. Wardlaw made a short talk be-
tween the acts telling OF the good ac4
complished duning the year by this
work and said that $1,000 adults had
enrolled in the schools. Nose Manini
a Greek OF Columbia, and Hugh Ousley
OF Darlington, both students in adult
schools, told Of the good done for them,

OBTAINS JUDGMENT
FOR STOLEN CAR

Special TO The Evening Journal.
GEORGETOWN, Oct. II. - n
Superior Court for Sussex County
this week, the Maryland Motor Car
Insurance Company. Of Baltimore,
obtained judgment against Walter p.
Monroe. Of Millsboro. this county,
for $500. The action was to re-
cover on an automobile which the
plaintiff alleged had been stolen
from Mrs. Margaret Lanahan, of
Baltimore, on or about September 6,
1919, at the corner of Fayette street,
near st. Paul, that city. Mr.. Mon
roe came in possession of the car
through Harley White, Of near Mills
boro who obtained it from a man
said to be named Woodall. Where
Woodall obtained the stolen car re-
mains a mystery, as he could not be
located to give evidence in the
case. However. neither Monroe
nor White from whom the
former obtained the car, knew
that It had been stolen until
Mr. ogden, a representative Of the
plaintiff, traced it through a detec-
tive agency and went to Millsboro
and examined the part numbers on
the machine. Some of the numbers
corresponded and this gave rise to
the belief that the car was the one
stolen from Mrs. Lanahan. A writ
of replevin was at once issued. The
jury returned a verdict of a money
consideration of 5000 in favor of the
plaintiff

Feeble BLOOD
WORKS HAVOC
Gude's Pepto-Mangan
Makes Red Blood;
Liquid and Tablet Form

When blood becomes thin and
weak it is due to falling off in the
number of red blood cells. 1t is
easily recognized by pallid skin or a
blemished complexion. loss of appe-
tite or unnatural irritability and a
sensation Of weakness. 1t is not
dangerous at first. In fact, many
people scarcely notice it and go on
for days, thinking they will be bet
ter the next day.
The great danger is in the possi-
bility of becoming seriously i'll from
diseases, which can work havoc in a
body that lacks the endurance and
resistance in rich, red blood.
Taken in time and steadily. a few
bottles of GUIDES Pepto- Mangan are
a great help. 1t improves the quality
of the blood by adding red blood
cells. They check the weakness, i'm
prove the appetite. and clear the
complexion.
You can get GUIDES Pepto-Man-
gan in liquid and tablet form at your
druggists. Get the genuine with the
name GUIDES -Mangan" on

I'VE have a mothers club in AL

has cared for 700 babies.
AT first these women, especially
the Mohammedans who had never
been to public meeting, regarded
us with suspicion. They couldn't
understand an unselfsh interest in
their babies. they couldn't accept our
home hygiene.
"But we've won them over Their

very lonely life, very lonely.
Then II she wants to go on ]
would ask her IL she could live weelxa

passed on about twenty thousand
nurses who applied for overseas and
army work during the war.
I'VE have AL kinds of little schools

but out OF the 1000 nursing schools
in this country there is not one which
has an endowment
