Following Up a Success

is not at all surprising that the men who
we're chiefly responsible for the success
or the Virginia Historical Pageant should
regard so favorably the idea OF an annual
festival OF pageantry as n Virginia institu-
ton. They know how, after months OF
planning and hard work, the pageant con-
ception took hold of the popular magma
ton, and how magnifcently the whole State
responded. once the idea had taken root
knowing how the affair was handled from
the beginning and the difficulties that could
attend only the Inauguration OF such an
enterprise. they are in position to perceive
the opportunity that has been opened for
repeated successes at a decreasing cost OF
preliminary effort and apprehension.
The details of n State plan for such a
festival as these leaders and many others
nave in mind are not of course, TO he
worked out on n moments notice. The pro-
)ect, II it is to be made permanent, will
require the attention Of permanent organ-
cation and broad survey OF the resources
upon which the pagcant-makers may each
year draw for the elements of a Virginia
historical drama. Since these things are
necessary, II is gratifying to note the eager
ness for an Immediate crystallization of
sentiment and plans. Now is the time to
declare the pcrmanence 90 the foundation
laid in the recent great success

IllbCrtN BOND PRICES

WEDNESDAY was made memorable in
w the bond market by the attainment of
par or better in tho prices of all Liberty
issues for the first time. In most instances
the high mark for the day showed Liberty
bonds above 100. and there had been no
material recession at the close. The predic-
ton OF the Treasury Department several
months ago that Liberty issues would not
long remain Al the low levels was abundant
ly sustained by Wednesdays gains.
To 4 certain extent. the advance reflected
a seasonal demand; to larger extent ii was
the result OF easier money and generally
improved conditions. The climb of Liberty
bond prices within recent months has been
noteworthy. Less than "A year ago quota
lions on these issues were so low as TO yield
an interest running in some cases close 10
~ per cent against maximum yield at
par OF "A. Fluctuations within narrow
limits are yet 10 be expected, but conditions
point to sterilization of the war issues very
close to the level reached Wednesday for
the first time since they went on the mar
ket.

In fact, arrangements are already being
mace by the two government agencies men,
toned for investigating the possibility of
using poison gases on such burrowing ro-
dents as rats, prairie dogs, ground SQUIRRELS

and ground squirrels by these two cooper

fornia show that chlorine may be used with
good results, if handled properly. The
Chemical Warfare Service used phosgene on

Some OF these gases will be compared
