preciative audience which witnessed

have been achieved ON an ordinary
stage. Scores of gaily-colored Chin
ese lanterns and cleverly arranged
system of electric lights enhanced the
scene and transformed the open-air
theatre into a veritable fairyland.
The lovely lines of a huge weeping
willow against the midnight blue of
the sky and the slender crescent of a
young moon also lent their touch of
magic to the outdoor stage.
Too much praise cannot be given to
Miss Ruth Quinn. under. whose skill
full direction the play was presented.
The patient labor which weeks of re-
hearsal had involved resulted in a
production which would do credit to
the professional stage. Especially
noteworthy were the dances rendered
in the course of the performance by
the children of the parish. Some of
these tiny tots are scarcely beyond
the period of babyhood, and yet all of
them were perfectly familiar with
their parts.
In the role of Ariel. the fairy who
lends her magic assistance to Pros

ture of airy grace. The charming
manner in which she represented the
nimble sprite, fitting gracefully from
side to side. compelled the admiration
of her audience.

CONFEREES. HOWEVER.
FAILED TO AGREE

Democrats OF Anne Arundel
county are in for a warm fight at
the primary election TO be held
September 9.
This indication stands out bold
ly following the meeting held in
the Court House here yester-
day, when an. attempt was made
to cement differences between the
rival factions. and to nominate
harmony ticket" That the ef-
fort failed utterly. is generally
conceded.
Five candidates for the House
OF Delegates are to be put be-
fore the electorate at the coming
November election. Local can
didates to be voted for are
County Treasurer Sheriff, and
seven members of the Board of
County Commissioners. Already
number of men have filed GER
tifcates Of their candidates. for
each OF the offices and indications
are that there will be upward of
two candidates for each of the
Offices. Hence there is no indica-
ton of avoiding a primary CON
test. regardless of various confer
ences, and the big mass meeting
yesterday.
AS final effort, conference
committee of Is" composed of
seven men selected from each of
the socalled Organization" and
Progressive" wings of the party.
and four women from the League
Of Democratic women. was ap-
pointed. This committee met
Tuesday afternoon but there was
nothing doing" as far as reach
ing some conclusion along the
line OF considering suggestions
and names of candidates with the
view of making up a slate" for
which it was appointed, and the
meeting finally came to a close
by declaring for all open pri-
mary"

lutions, another general meeting of
Democracy is scheduled 10 be held in
the Court House tomorrow at II. when
the conference committee will make
It's report on the result of delibera-
tions.
All Was Quiet Today
Political talk about the city today
was tame compared to the state OF
affairs yesterday, when everything
seemed agog at the Court House, and
many of those more or less actively
| interested in politics gathered in
groups here and there, coneulted, and
then consulted some more - hoping
and hoping that a way might be
found by which all hands would be
brought together and spirit of har-
mony would prevail so that primary
fight could be avoided.
The few politicians from the rural
districts who came TO the city today
had little or nothing to say. II ap-
pears in fact, that the would-be har-
monizers have awakened TO the reali-
zatlon that they have tough Droposi-
tion on their hands, yet they still hold
ray of hope that beam Of encour-
agement viii crop up, and something
may yet be done toward settling all
differences and putting a strong ticket
in the field.
Attitude OF Women, Factor
Y Out of it all. however, those who
would pour oil on the troubled waters
are not unmindful of the tremendous
sentiment for free and open fight
and that now seems inevitable. The
prominent part which the League OF
Democratic Women took in the de-
liberations of yesterdays meeting has
made this more paramount, and the
veteran politicians are beginning to
feel that the women vote will have
much to do with deciding the issue at
the primary.

White. of the Second district She is
a woman of dynamic personality and
apparently limitless energy She
seems able TO dominate without domi-
neering, and so. when she lined up
her cohorts yesterday, there was little
evidence of friction. Moreover. she is
young and does not offend the eve
She has talent for effective speech
making.
To-day the joering came to an
abrupt halt when she turned dra-
matically to the assemblage and ex-
claimed in tragic accents: Cant we
work with the men?' There was the
echo of tolling knell in that. and the
giddy conclave of college presidents
bankers. doctors. lawyers, professors.
courtly Anne Arundel gentlemen and
gawky Anne Arundel farmhands
sobered up.

Aighly developed among the aboriginal

Their material is always wood, and
is furnished by huge trees from the

poles," which, often of great size and
height. astonish the observer by the
intricacy of their workmanship and
the weird imaglnativeness Of their
complex designs.
Early missionaries in that part Of
the world mistook the totem poles for
IDOLS. As a matter Of fact, they pos
sess no such significance, being merely
heraldIc columns. Each tribal clan
has its own traditions and myths.
which takes the place Of history, and
these are symbolized by the extraor-

times human faces or figures, carved
on the totem poles.
