MEMORIAL DAY EXER-
CISES AT THURMONT

Memorial Day exercises were held
here last Saturday Afternoon. The
weather, we believe, was responsible
for the less than usual attendance, al
though the town was fairly well filled
with people. The sky was overcast
practically all day and at times looked
very much like rain. A cool wind made
extra clothing necessary for comfort.
The parade of the army posts,
lodges, bands and children was equal
in size and interest to those of pre-
vious years, and the cemeteries were
beautiful spots to visit
After the ceremonies at the ceme-
teries, program was rendered in the
Town Hall, as follows:
Music 7. H. S. Band
Invocation, Rev. P. L. Hcimer
Singing-"America"
Reading Carroll Tyson
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
Reading Eloise Weant
Singing T. H. s. Glee Club
Reading John B. Jones
"The Union Soldier"
Address Col. D. John Marley
Singing-"Star Spangled Banner"
Benediction Rev. j. |. Green

GIRLS CLOSE EYES IN MOVIES
Were Determined for Once 10 See q
Picture From Its Beginning
& to its End.

The last. scenes of film drama were
Pickering to their inevitable denoue-
ment. The fight between the hero and
the villain was over, the chasing OF
automobiles had been SO far exhaust
ed that there was hardly character
who hadn't chased or been chased by
every other character.
Suddeny q woman In the audience
noticed two nice girls near her whose
eyes were peacefully closed. Her heart
went out to them In sympathy, for she
assumed that they We're blind and that
they went to the movies just to hear
the professor punch the piano, al
though that seemed too awful to be
true.
But when the picture ended and the
lights flashed on, the two girls opened
four perfectly good eyes, looked ut
each other and smiled.
ibid you really keep your eyes
shut?" demanded one. Honest to
goodness l debut did you?" coun-
tered the other.
"Cross my heart and hope to die"
averred the first, "but 1t took lot
of self-control. However, l was deter
mined for once to see picture from
the beginning instead Of from the
middle. York Sun.

Oceans Levels Changed.

It Is the belief of scientists that,
during the glacial period, when the
land was covered with huge coats of
ice, the level Of the ocean was from
$50 to 200 feet lower than its normal
level, according to DIR. T. w. Vaughan
of the United States geological survey.
This belief is based upon the theory
that what goes up must come down,
and scientists are able to account for
the presence of ice on the land only
on the supposition that 1t came from
the sea.
Proof of this Is found in coral reefs
in all parts of the world. Their posi-
ton indicates that the building was
commenced In the shallow waters of
the then coast line, only to have the
waters rise. The little animals which
create the reefs kept on building
toward the new level. Many of the
reefs, it has been observed, have been
built ON submarine shelves, and these
are invariably found on coasts which
show signs of having once been SUBJ
merged.

OF COURSE SHE HEARD HIM!
Anyway It 10 Mean Man Who Would
Set Such Trap for His
Better Half.

Hubby was reading aloud from the
newspaper to his wife. Now and then
he paused and asked question, but
her replies indicated that she was not
listening very closely. When he re-
preached her she Indignantly retorted
that she was listening most iHtently.
He continued reading for few min
utes and then seeing far-away look
in his wifes eyes he began to read as
follows:
last night, at about . o'clock In
the afternoon, a few minutes before
breakfast, a hungry boy, about sixty
years old, bought an orange for a
dime, and threw 1t through concrete
wall twenty feet thick. With a cry Of
despair, he jumped into p dry mill
pond, broke his arm at the knee joint,
and was burned alive.
"It was only ten years after, on
the same day and at the same hour,
that a goat gave chase to six elephants
just as a high wind began to blow,
killing three dead horses and nickle
cigar that had just come out of the
hospital
There, what do you think of that?"
cried hubby, as he finished reading.
II think 1t was a splendid bargain,
dear" said his wife. you had better
get half a dozen. as your stock OF
shirts Is running low."-London An

FERoCI0US DENIzEN OF SEA
California Spotted Moray Is a Capture
Which No Fisherman 10 Anx-
ious to Make.

The California spotted moray, or
''sea eel" as 1t is popularity called,
Is credited with being the most fe-
rocious marine animal in existence.
The commonly observed. specimens
are about three or four feet long, and
about the size Of mans wrist.
Their mouths are provided with
needle-like teeth, and their jaws are
80 strong that cutting off the animals
head does not have the slightest effect
In releasing it's hold. Release can
only be achieved by cutting the head
to pieces so that the jaws cannot hold
together.
Stories are told of fishermen be-
ing driven from their boats when a
large specimen got loose after being
hauled up, and these stories may cas-
lily be credited, considering the dispo-
sitlon Of the small ones which are COM
mon to the California coast. Some of
those found In the deeper water reach
a length of six or eight feet, and
weight of 100 pounds. The animal
can actually tie itself in q knot, ana
makes use Of Its extraordinary sinu-
osity for holding objects which 1t Is
eating, and for twisting and coiling
around rocks.

TRACED TO DRUIDICAL TIMES
Custom That Is Believed to Have
Been Forerunner Of Modern
| "ApriI Fools Day."

April FOOLS day is from an old GUS
tom dating from the time of the Dru-
ids that the first of April takes ITS
name. Although most people call 1t
"All Fools day" it is more than likely
that it should be "Old FOOLS day.
a modern way of saying AUD Fools
day."
In the old Druid times any young
maidens who could pluck enough cOur-
age (for it was considered daring
thing to do) used to visit one of the
sacred groves" between ten and
twelve o'clock on the night Of April l.
Here they all stood behind one an
other, and as soon as they heard the
boot of an OWL started slowly running
round and round. AS they ran they
sang some weird old chant, the gist
of which was that they wanted man
to run with them.
Then those of the girls who were to
be married during the next year would
suddenly see the ghost Of white man
by their side. A black escort showed
that the unfortunate young lady was
going to die during the ensuing year.

Always the Extra Woman.

1t is true that for every even 100
births of girl infants there are 1O5
boys born, but of those belonging to
both sexes remaining alive at the end
of the first year, there are just 100
girls alive to 95 boys.
Moreover, the ratio Of survival In
creases slightly in favor of the girls
throughout life. Therefore at all age
periods there Is more or less decided
excess of females over males.
Primitive man found this out for
himself, without the aid of mortality
tables or adding machines. He met
the problem In his own naive fashion,
according to taste, by drowning the ex-
ira babies, selling them into slavery,
or letting them grow and practicing
polygamy-Caroline e. MacGill in
Scribner's Magazine.

Beautiful gold knives that were I'M

COLLEGE SQUAD LOOKS

the institution will have a real foot

chine which will make other schools

Twenty-eight huskies are reporting
for practice, several of them old-tim-

The squad was strengthened this
week by the reporting of Hal Malone,
last years eastern star end at the
famous Washington-Jefferson col
lege, Washington, Pa. Hal made the
easterners sit up and take notice when
he got into action, and should add
much strength to the local lineup.
Eubank, a new recruit in the back
field, looks to be a winner as brok-

man at tackle, shows that he intends
to make some fellow play superior
