Perish Id A Theater Disaster.

Ninety-six lives were lost in the Knicker-
booker Theater, Washington. last Saturday
night when the roof, weighted by about
two feet Of snow, collapsed and buried
patrons of ne house under crushing
blanket of concrete, plaster and steel, ac-
cording to unofficial, but carefully checked
records. More than 1870 others are known
to have been injured.
Just as showing picture was ending
and spectators were making their way in
and out of the building. the roof, without
warning, collapsed in the middle, bringing
down the balcony and burying hundreds.
With the exception of few score who
escaped unhurt. the remainder were caught
beneath the falling debris. Nearly every
one of the injured, and all of the dead,
were cut out from the mass of ruins, one
at time.
The crash came at 8 o'clock. 1t began
with loud hiss, followed by deafening
roar. The middle of the roof gave way
first. 1t was followed by the entire roof
and the balcony The fallen balcony COW
cred the rib of the theater. On top of that
was the roof.
Before the noise from the crash of fall
ing timbers, concrete and steel was silenced,
the agonized shrek and cries for help from
those buried beneath the mass began. The
screams of hysterical women and of those
actually injured were heard for blocks
away.
Rescue work began Immediately. Those
who had escaped by miracle joined the
police reserves and fremen. who reached
the scene within is minutes after the crash.
There was no light. The binding snow
made the work more difficult. And above
everything else came the cries of the in
jured. many of them completely buried, and
out of sight before a mass of timbers.

Feed The Birds.

At this time of the year, previous to
severe cold weather or heavy SHOWS. it is
always necessary to call the attention Of
the public to the necessity of feeding the
birds. State may do a great deal in
the way of restocking depleted covers. but
more can be gained by saving what we
have than by purchas ng at great expense
large quantities of birds. II is only neces-
sary for farmers and sportsmen and bird
lovers to divert little time and a small
amount Of grain to save many birds
throughout the State of Maryland and
have large numbers of quail and other
valuable birds. A shelter provided for them
to protect them from the snow or a place
scraped bare in the snow and feed scat
tered thereon will accomplish a great
amount of good and the Conservation
Commission Of Maryland urgently requests
all those who are interested to do what
they can, If there is any cold weather OF
snow during the coming months. to save
the birds.

In Memoriam.

In sad and loving remembrance of on
dear sister. Ethel Pearl Jones. who de
parted this life months ago, aged Is
years.
She was the sunshine of our home. anC
no tongue can tell how hard ii is to give on,
up that we all loved so well, but Gods viii
shall be done.
She shall never be forgotten,
Never shall her memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger
Around the grave where she is laid,
In the graveyard softly sleeping.
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we loved so dearly
In the lone and silent grave.
Farewell, dear sister, may your slumber
Be as gentle as your love,
And when God calls us homeward
May we meet you in heaven above.
BY her brothers.

almost invariably recommended Chamber
