STAGE SET FOR
GREAT HISTORY
PAGEANT IN VA.
Final Dress Rehearsal Is Held.
Sightseers crowding Into
Richmond.

RICHMOND, Va, May 2O.-Five
hundred spectators, who managed by
devious means and by cajoleries and
ingenious excuses to insinuate them
selves inside the wire stockades and
carefully guarded entrances to the
big Virginia historical pageant
grounds last night. watched another
500 persons, amateur and profes'
sional actors. in scenes Of marvellous
composition and color, making up
nearly the entire first half of the
Virginia historical pageant.
The surreptitious vfsitants TO what
was to have been a strictly private
and untrammeled dress rehearsal
went home with dream pictures in
their subconsciousness, with a con
viction that a triumph is finally to
be wrought on the greensward and
boards when the greatest Of all
American pageants opens on nexI
Monday night.

VACUUM PICKS
UP GERMS WHICH
THRIVE INDOORS
Test Shows Tiny Disease
Organisms Sucked Up in
Cleaner.

Ever stop to think what a host
OF dangerous germs are removed
from the home by the electric va
cuum cleaner?
In a recent test made in a New
York hospital, a metal disc three
and three-fourths inches in dia-
meter was exposed to the air for
a period OF five minutes in an un-
occupied private" room, where
everything was spotless and clean.
This disc had previously been ster-
ilized, so that a test could be made
as to the number Of germs which
are constantly circulating in the
air. even under the most sanitary
conditions. When the disc was ex-
amined after this short exposure,
II was found that twelve living
disease germs had been deposited
on it's surface.
After a second sterilizing, the
disc was again exposed for the
same period of time, in the same
room which had in the meantime
been swept with a broom. During
this second test II was found that
226 germs were deposited on the
disc, having been whipped UP from
the floor and into the air by the
action OF the broom.
Dust is a real, not a theoretical
danger. Scientific research has
proved that 1t is the greatest car
rier and distributor OF disease
germs known. 1t seems almost in
credible that anyone should choose
to increase this menace in the
home by the use OF a broom, when
the sanitary electric cleaner Is
available as a means of reducing
IT very materially.
Electricity is tn Pied Piper which
charms the germs away.

NEAR EAST RELIEF STILL
NEEDS AID FOR CHILDREN

The need for clothing in Eastern
Europe. being distributed by the
Near East Relief, has not abated.
the local chapter OF the Relief So
ciety has been notified by Constan.
tinople relief workers. The question
of bedding for children has been
partially solved by the utilization OF
German sandbags used during the
war but now being made into bedding
and hammocks for refugee children.
Donors of clothing for the society
have been asked to send in their
bundles as promptly as possible to
316 Bond building. Contributions Of
cash are also acceptable for reliev-
ing the suffering in the devastated
area.

STORE EMPLOYEES NAME
GROUP TO FIGHT PAY CUT

Opposition to any reduction in
the present wage scale was voiced
last night by women employees Of
stores at a meeting held in the
board room at the District Build
ing. Four were named to serve on
the conference which will consider
the minimum wage. The nominees
were Miss Jennie Kaisted, Of s.
Kann's Co; Mrs. Bessie Lusby. of
Kings Palace; Miss Tillie Butler.
OF the Hecht Co, and Mrs. Muriel
Triplett, of Sigmund & Bros.
About 200 women attended the
meeting Not only was there oppo-
sition to any reduction in the wage
scale, but also to extension of the
present learning period" of seven
months. In fact, 1t was said the
period should be reduced to three
months.
The nominees will vote at the
conference. which will probably
open next week.

weather is propitious.
The crowning effects. however. as
far as last nights rehearsal went,
were In the later costumed scenes OF
the landing at jamestown, Smiths
adventure, the starving time and the
first assembly.
A surprise brought out was the
wonderful natural acoustic qualities
of the amphitheater. which will still
further be augmented when the vast
banks of seats for $4,000 are filled.
The high visibility, also, OF the entire
stage from any point of the great
sloping banks of seats, because of
the superior lighting effects devised,
became a topic of general comment.
No more beautiful view of the entire
scene that will be presented by the
filled Rmphitheater and the stage be-
yond, with its figures IN their garbs
OF the periods portrayed, can be had
than from the cheapest seats at the
back Of the center bank.
Tonight the scenes from st. John s
Church to the Epilogue are to be re.
hearsed. and Sunday afternoon 1t is
expected that the prologue scene will
be run over once more. All OF the
costumes will be in readiness Satur'
day.
One business man, who has con.
tributed his time and cash to tho
success of the pageant, declared ways
and means should be found to have
the entire production OF the Virgins
historical pageant filmed for pos.
terity. He said:
+ "It is a pity II this great under
taking is not preserved in a film.
1t would cost about $4,000 to do II,
and I believe the film would return

Modernist Art Is Hit
By Speaker At
Banquet

Modernist art may be good
enough for Greenwich Village,
but Royal Cortissoz, New York
artist, thinks painting a lily to
look like a hat rack is an evil
dence of insanity.
He said so last night at the
American Federation of Arts
banquet in Rauscher's. Three
hundred painters, architects and
art patrons heard his opinions.
Cortissoz asked that artists
and art lovers discountenance
"the insanity of modernism"
and declared that the "man in
the street" should be SO edu-
Gated as to be able to criticize

he would soon encounter the door that
led into the interior rooms.
In a moment he found it. He stood
waiting. He turned the knob gently;
then softly pulled. But the door was
locked.
There was no sound now but the
loud beating of his own heart. He
could no longer hear the voices of the
wind outside the open window. He
wondered whether, should he hurl all
his magnificent strength against the
panels, he could break the lock; and
if he did so, whether he could escape
with the girl before he was shot down.
But his hand, wandering over the
lock, encountered the key.
1t was easy, after all. He turned the
key. The door opened beneath his
hand.
If there had been a single ray Of
light under the door or through the
keyhOle, his course would have been
quite different. He would have opened
the door suddenly in that case, hoping
to take by surprise whOsOever of the
clan were guarding Linda. To open a
door slowly into a room full of enc
mics is only to give them plenty Of
time to cock their rifles. But in this
case the room was in darkness, and all
that he need fear was making a sud-
den sound. The opening slowly
widened. Then he slipped through and
stood ten breathless seconds in silence.
Linda" he whispered. He waited
a long time for an answer. Then he
stole farther into the room.
Linda" he said again. Its Bruce.
Are you hereF"
And in that unfathomable sIlencS he
heard a sOund-a sound so dim and
small that it only reached the frontier
of hearing. 1t was a strange, whisper
ing, eerie sound, and 1t filed the room
like the faintest, almost imperceptible
gust of wind. But there was no doubt
ing its reality. A living creature Oc-
cupied this place of darkness with him,
and was either half-gagged by a hand
kerchief over the face or was trying
to conceal its presence by muffling its
breathing. Linda" he said again.
There was a strange response to the
calling Of that name. He heard no
whispered answer. Instead, the door
he had just passed through shut softly
behind him.
For fleeting instant he hoped that
the wind had blown it shut. For it Is
always the way of youth to hOpe-as
long as any hope is left. His heart
leaped and he whirled to face it. Then
he heard the unmistakable sound of
bolt being slid into place.
Some little space of time followed
in silence. He struggled with growing
horror, and time seemed limitless.
Then a strong man laughed grimly in
the darkness.

FREEDOM FROM

Pills and salts give temporary re-

pense OF permanent injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way-a means as simple as Nature
Itself.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat
ural lubricant is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that the
gentle Iubricating action Of NujOl most
closely resembles that OF Natures own
