The annual supper and play which
the Ladies' Mite Society of the United
Brethren Church customarily gives
will be held in the Town Hall on the
evening of December 9th. The menu

everyone shall receive an abundance
of chicken, ham, sweet potatoes, po-
tato salad, chips, pickles, celery, fruit,
cake, coffee, cocoa, etc. Their per-
sonal supervision gives the public a
guarantee that the above promise shall
be fulfilled The play will be a comedy
presenting our big boys and girls as
little boys and girls. We can promise
you it will be good and cause you to
feel the price of admission, 10 cents,

SMOKING TESTS

The Johns Hopkins scientists have
for three years tried to find the effect
of tobacco on the system and they
have succeeded in finding nothing
very horrible in it. In any work that
requires delicate coordination of eye
hand and brain, less accuracy will be
found after a cigarette or cigar than
before the smoke; however the work
is no slower. DR.. knight Dunlap,
professor of experimental psychology,
conducted the experiments.
Eight types of tests were used in
the work: card asserting, two kinds OF
mathematical work-addition and null
DUPLICATION, the operation of an adding
machine in the ordinary listing OF
numbers, an Association reaction,
dart throwing, a test of steadiness
and finally, billiard playing. Tests
were applied to both smokers and non
smokers, data was taken in expert
nent sessions both before smoking and
after.
All prejudices were avoided, the re-
actors were required one day to smoke
before taking tests; on the next day
to take the test without smoking
The test for steadiness proved to be
ne most effective, while the other
tests changed as much with the days
as from the effects of smoking.
It has been concluded that the mar
who smokes moderately does better
work after a smoke than before be-
cause the system is used to and needs
the stimulation while If the man that
does not smoke takes one it excites
the nerves and the consequent work
is not so perfect.

A CRIMINAL ACT

The case of an automobile running
down q pedestrian or another machine
becomes criminal offense when the
driver Of that machine deliberately
fails to stop and make inquiries re-
garding the extent Of damage done.
Last week near Middleburg, a man
was killed by an automobile. The dri-
yer Of the machine is said to have
turned out his lights and "beat it.
That method of procedure turned a
possible unavoidable accident into a
crime, and made Of free citizen a
prisoner In the county Jail facing a
possible indictment for manslaughter.
Drivers who are possessed with a
yellow streak" do those things.

LEST WE FORGET

We are reminded that during the
World War a great deal of time was
given to teaching and explaining the
duties of loyal citizens-duties to be
performed during that distressing pc
Rod as; well as those to be observed
In times of peace. One of those duties
referred to the flag.
In tho service the salute to the Ma
tionai Colors is made by raising the
hat with the right hand and placing it
{the hat) against the left shoulder.
This position is maintained for the
distance Of about twelve paces-six
PAGES on the approach and six PAGES
after the colors have passed. The
civilian is taught to at least raise the
hat for the same period of time.
Did you remember to salute as the
National Colors, with armed escort,
passed you last Saturday?

ASSOCIATION MEETS

The Thurmont School Improvement
Association held its meeting for the
meath In the High School Auditorium
on Monday evening Of this week, Mr..
r. r. Young, president, presiding.
The program arranged for the evening
consisted Of a playlet entitled "Cinder-
ella" Of fairyland fame, given by fif-
teen or more little folks under the di-
rection of Miss Kathleen Crawford.
The large audience was very much en-
tertained by this catchy little play and
the players. Music at intervals was
rendered by the High School Orchestra
and by assembly singing.
Or. Sanders Of Gettysburg College
gave splendid and timely address on
the importance of Cultural Train
ing" in the schools:
An appeal was made by Prof. Brech-
bill for better heating facilities in the
building. At present about 120 pupils
are occupying the High School Audi
forum as class room. It is claimed
that this room cannot be heated in cold
weather with the radiator now install
cd. A committee composed of Prof.
Brechbill, DR.. E. C. Kefauver, Rev. w.
C. Waltemyer, Messrs. Stanley r. Da-
muth and Lester s. Birely, was named
to take the matter up with the school
board.
The matter of more room was spo-
ken Of. It Is expected the school au-
thorities will make provision for the
High School before so very long,
probably next summer.

A BIG UNDERTAKING

The 301 wooden vessels built dur
ing the war were sold some time ago
by the U. S. Shipping Board to the
Western Marine and Salvage Com
pany. An idea of the immensely of
the job of wrecking these vessels is
given by Mr.. J. N. Barde, general
manager of the company.
Mr.. Barde saidthe sailors had pick
ed out the Mojave for the first destruc-
ton because, they claimed, it had
brought nothing but hard luck since
the day it was launched. The Mojave
was one of the first of the wooden
ships built, he said. Everything al
ways had been all wrong on it. 1t
had sailed all over Europe, meeting
with bad luck wherever it went. In
Spain it was robbed and everything
movable upon it taken off, although
it was reftted.
To neutralize the bad luck that
might come in dismantling the hoo
doc ship, he said, the sailors had
picked out the Alanthus, which res
cued the crew of the United States
submarine SIS off Cape Henlopen in
September, 1920. Dragging the sub
marine to the surface from 35 feet OF
water, the mechanics of the Alanthus
cut a hole in the submarine through
which they put hose to Introduce air
while the hatch was being opened.
Mr.. Barde said his plans called for
the dismantling of 10 vessels at
time, employing $50 men on each YES
sel-25O0 in all. He said he expected
the work would take at least three
years. The monthly payroll would be
about $4,000, ringers and common Ia
Dor being employed at the current
rates of wages. There will be about.
rs in the supervisory force.
In addition to two vessels brought to
Baltimore, there were 2O9 additional
ships in the James river, at Claremont,
Va; Is at Beaumont, Texas, and rs on
the Pacific coast.
An idea of the task of dismantling
them can be gained from the following
list of, few of the items to be sal
vaged:
Twelve miles of 6-foot smokestack;
100000 to 100000 tons Of scrap iron
and steel; 5000 tons of brass and cop
per; 100000 feet of wire cable; $500
miles of piping; 1862 Ferris type 1,4OO-
horsepower engines; Ga turbine en-
gines; 226 brass condensers; ASP water
tube boilers; 1920 steam pumps;
5000 tons water tanks; 5000 drill
presses, anvils, vises, etc.; 1880 steam
winches; 600 tons of rope; 12,OOO
steam and air gauges; and $500 tons
of anchor chain.
Mr.. Barde said the hulls would be
sold for use as barges. These could
be built today for no less than $l5O,-
900. Much of the superstructure Will
have to be cut away and the sides re-
calked. The hulls will be sold for
from $4,000 to $4,000.
"The work of scrapping these YES
sells presents an enormous problem"
Said Mr.. Barde. "Where to put the
material as it is taken from the YES
sells, how to make it salable for the
market, how to dispose of it quickly so
that enormous amounts do not pile up
on our hands, are questions we have
yet to solve.
"Much of the material, feel sure,
will 90 to Europe. Americans don't
take advantage of bargains when they
see them nearly as quickly as the Eu-
