PUPPETS MAY VISIT HERE

If satisfactory arrangements can be
made Brookings people will soon have
the opportunity of enjoying one of
the most unique entertainments ever
offered in the city. The attraction is
Lillian Owens Marionettes. These
little creatures range in size from
eighteen inches to three feet in
height. They sing and dance and
talk. Their action are controlled by
wires which trained actors, hidden
from view, manipulate. Because each
puppet requires an individual actor
there are as many actors in a puppet
play as in a regular drama and the
acting is likewise as impressive.
The m%arionettes are as old as the
pyramids and have been especially
popular in Europe where Shake.

Consolidation with Short Line
Expected to Considerably
Increase Earnings.
SHOWS SOME LOSSES

President George w. Bishop. Of
the Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis Electric Railroad Company,
has arrived in Baltimore City for
the annual meeting OF stockholders
to be held today at Naval Academy
Junction. All the out-of-town ofn-
GERS and directors will attend. II
is expected that the board. as now
constituted. will be reelected
This is the second meeting Of the
shareholders of the Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis held In the
past month, the first having been
called especially for the approval
of the operating agreement between
the company and the Annapolis
Short Line Railroad, now in effect.
This consolidation is expected to
greatly improve the earning POSI-
tion of the Washington. Baltimore
and Annapolis.
The annual report of President
Bishop will be submitted at tomor-
rows meeting. There will be only
brief comment on the years opera
tion. Gross earnings for the year
will be shown as s2,324,S ,S39, or a
slight reduction as compared with
the preceding year, the figures for
1919 being s2,36s.o25. Operating ex-
penses and taxes, however. were a
little below those for 1919. the total
being s1.737.934. as contrasted with
I.753.424 for the year before. Net
income of the road for the year is
given as S.s7.o0s, as compared with
S3ls,3ss for the preceding twelve
months.
Recently an interesting tabulation
was made by the company of the es-
timated earnings for 1921 of the
combined railway properties. which
showed gross revenues over $500. 900
in excess OF the total gross for the
Washington. Baltimore and An
napolis for last year. Operating ex-
penses for the year are placed at
E,9S0.300, while net income is given
as s435.6l0. as contrasted with the
net of fes7,0o6 reported by the
Washington. Baltimore and Annap-
oils for 1920.
Short Line trains have already
been withdrawn from Camden Sta
ton. which will mean a saving this
year of approximately $4,000.
