THE door of the tumble-down hut
under the silver trees opened,
and a funny, queer, ragged, little
old man appeared, to the Twins as
tonished eyes.
What a queer servant the Man
in-the- Moon keeps" thought they.
1t was bad enough to find that his
highness lived in such a miserable
place when the rest of the moon was
So magnificent. but this was still
worse; they had visited a good many
royal people on their adventures
and never yet had they been ad-

who looked for all the world like a

ing of that period, was formally del
icated amid the rejoicings of all the
citizens. 1t was a momentous occas
ion, and Rev. w. j. Hinton, an able
young minister, preached the dedica
tory sermon. 1t is appropriate,
therefore, that the Rev. DR.. j. w.
Hinton, one of Georgia's most vener-
able and beloved men, should preach
the last sermon as we'll in this old
church. But he will look into the
faces of few, if any, who listened to
that first sermon in the church. Last
Sunday, Rev. j. L. Wooten, the pas
tor, in speaking of this concluding
sermon, asked that all who heard the
dedicatory sermon forty-six years
ago raise their right hand. Silence
relgned; a look of expectancy swept
the church, but not a hand was rails
ed. Time has, indeed, wrought many
changes in forty-six years.

Then the Mushroom introduced
Nick the same way.
Nancy courtesied and Nick bowed,
both still too surprised to say as
much as how-do-you-do, And as
they were always polite little folk,
it showed the state of their feelings.
"How are you, Nancy! Pleased to
meet you, Nick" said Mr.. Peera-
bout pleasantly, winking one eye and
then the other Did you have a
pleasant journey.
The Mushroom answered for them.

While they were talking, the

feet, long beard and head as bald as
a dinner-plate.

TO PASS
! ON MORALITY
Of ~. SHOWS
Scheme to Purge Thsaters,
Approved by Managers.
Goes Up to Mayor.

NEW YORK, March 11.--A perma-
uent system of stage supervision, oy
which plays alleged to be immorat
or Objectionable will be viewed py
impartial 1uries and closed II found
guilty, was devised by q commtttee
representing the producing man
ayers, playwrights, actors, authors
and reformers of New York, at the
Society of American Dramatists and
Composers, yesterday. Next week
the plan will be laid before Mayor
Hylan for his approval. and soon
thereafter the jury system WIN b
set in motion.
Immediately. 1t was admitted by
several who attended yesterdays
meeting, four or five Of the eighty
seven productions now occupying
New York theaters are expected to
undergo the jury bath. Inasmuch as
all of the producing managers are
committed to the scheme, the jury
verdict will be final and binding.
II there is a way to clean up the
stage and still avoid the menace of
censorship the originators Of the
Jury system believe they have found
1t. For one of the fundamentals OF
the plan is that in future the con-
tracts OF actors, authors. managers
and producers will contain a clause
binding all concerned to respect the
jury decisions.
This is how the new system Of
voluntary censorship will operate:
There will be selected as material
for jury service a panel Of 800 citi-
zens of ascertained imparttalityl
neither connected with the theaterl
in any way nor identified with the
reform movement. When a legal
complaint has been lodged against
a production with the city authoriA
ties, the jury panel will be resorted
to in the same fashion as jurymen
are picked from the panel OF the
county sheriff.
The jury will be required to view
the play under question from two
iewpoints-whether any part is i'm
moral and whether the piece II to-
tally Objectionable.

Disagreement Delays Decision
of Utilities Commissioned.
Admits Expense Is Less.

Disagreement over the question
Of fair valuation today delayed a
decision by the Public Utilities
Commission fixin gthe new rate for
gas for the District of Columbia.
There will be q reduction in the
price. The new rate will probably
be $1.05 per 1000 cubic feet. The
Commission had hoped to fix a
rate of 81 per 1000 cubic feet. but
that rate would not yield a fair
return on the value of the proper
ties of the Washington Gas Light
Company. It was pointed out.
The company Is contendtng that
the present rate of $1.10 should be
continued, but admits that there has
been a reduction in the cost Of oils
and other factors which make up
the cost Of manufacture.
The present rate in Philadelphia is
81 and the Commissioners believed
that all things being equal local con-
sumers were entitled to as cheap a
rate here.
With the lowering Of the rate with
in the District of Columbia, consum-
ers in Takoma Park, Just across the
District line in Maryland are ex-
pected to ask the Public Service
Commission of that State for a ma
terial reduction in the rate the local
company is allowed to charge in that
district.

ANNAPOLIS, March 11.-Mary.
lands soldier bonus bill. providing
$40 month compensation for
former service men, at cost OF
ss,0oo.00o. Is expected to have hard
shedding in the general assembly
The effect of nationwide discussion
of the Federal bonus bill unquestion.
ably is having its effect on members
of the State Legislature, who will be
called upon within the next three
weeks to determine whether or not
the State shall incur a debt OF
$4,000, 900, plus interest, to meet the
proposed compensation expenditure
The majority of the members OF
the two committees which will have
to settle the question primarily are
understood to question the wisdom
Of the measure at this time, The
loss of revenue from racing-accept.
ed practically as a foregone conclu.
sion In the light of present observa.
tions-is presenting such a problem
that II is regarded as highly improb-
able that the legislature will impose
such a heavy burden on the taxpay-
ers. Action of the house ways and
means committee in going into the
budget appropriations with it's knife
well sharpened is regarded as ind!.
cation of how that committee will
view the measure.
The bill carries a referendum to
the voters.
Accompanying measures provide
means for raising the revenue. The
firsts and generality regarded as
most acceptable method, is a poll
tax, to effect which a constitutional
amendment would be necessary.
Others are a tax on gasoline, in
creased collateral inheritance tax
and creation of a direct inheritance
tax and increased tax on race tracks.
IL, as expected, the senate concurs
with the house in passing the anti.
race track betting bill, the last.
named scheme would be out of the
question.
The bill would give former service
men $40 a month, with 25 per cent
additional for oversetas service, and
also contains an educational feature
enabling men to attend colleges un.
der funds to be provided by the
State.
