MARiONETTES GIVE
EVENINGS PROGRAM
-.xcellent Series of Stories and
Fables Depicted by Puppets
at Art Center.

An audience which last night
packed the room OF the Art Center,
1905 Connecticut avenue, where the
Rachel Sewall Marionettes were
shown, gave vent to hearty laughter
when witnessing the tiny puppets go
through their PAGES, in spite of the
fact that two-thirds OF those pres
ent had to stand and crane their
necks to see the miniature stage.
This was the last performance of
Miss Sewalls Marionettes shis sea-
son and also the last night cs the
Easter week carnival which has bSen
so successful at the Art Center.
The fables and short stories that
the marionettes depicted included thu
tale of the peasant and his trained
bear; the story of George Washing
ton and the cherry tree, told in Ge-
lightful npnsense verse. and we'll
visualized by the puppets; an Eng
lish ballad of a shy maid aad her
lover; an exceptionally clever little
scene depicting darkies on a planta-
tion-an old darkey playing the banjo
and two little pickaninniys dancing:

The marvel of all the scenes was
the life-like postures and actions into
which the little dolls fell when pulled
by wires and the way their very ex-
pressions seemed changed by just the
slightest movement of head, hand,
arm or leg.
Miss Sewall. who studied several
years with Tony Sarg, the great Eng
lish "puppeteer." showed originality
combined with a fine sense of artistry
in the group of scenes which were pre-
sented on this program and she re-
ceived the warmest appreciation from
her audience. Miss Sewall is native
Washingtonian, but has been absent
from the city for some time. She is
the daughter of the late Rev. Frank
Sewall, pastor of the Church of the
New Jerusalem for many years.

AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL

For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
o beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat,
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
10 beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country
lov'd
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine!
o beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities CLEAN,
Undimmed by human tears! ;
Americal Americai &,

And crown thy good with brother

miah had displeased the people by
his plain speech, and in the temple
itself they rose against him.
It is interesting to note how the
authoritie who should stand for law
seek its support. They did this
and order, often support the mob and
against both Jesus and jeremiah.
Mobs, they say, are awful when they
are against law and order; but when
the mob happens to want the thing
which the authorities wish, but can
not get, the authorities suddenly find
that the mob is composed Of patriots,
and mob rule is called patriotic. The
Italian Fascist furnish a modern ex-
ample. Italy has presented the
spectacle of nation browning law
lessness for the maintenance of law.
Moses had experience in dealing
with mobs, for every little while new
murmurings were heard and incipient
rebellions broke out. Often down
through history the martyrs have
been the victims of mob violence. We
have no details whatever of the
death of Zechariah, who, according to
Jesus, was killed between the sane
tuary and the altar Matt. %: 35).
The old days were turbulent. In city
after city Paul faced danger from the
people. Even in Thessalonica certain
vile fellows of the rabble stirred up
trouble, gathered a crowd, and set
the city in an uproar.

SOME STARTLING
CONDITIONS IN U. s,

From the National Bulletin of the
Naval and Military Order of the
Spanish-American War we clip the
following from an address of a regu-
lar army officer, holding an impor-
tant position in connection with the
National Guard organization. 1t will
readily be understood why the speak
er's name can not be mentioned, but
it may be assumed that the state
ments quoted are accurate and
verbatim:
1--WE have enlisted about one thou
sand men at these headquarters, in
the last two or three months (Janu-
airy to March, 1929 and we have
taken no man who was not a gradu-
ate of the eighth grade or who had
not the equivalent education. Each
man was given a brief verbal exami-
nation to test his education and men
tality and rs per cent of these men
did not know: How our country
started; how it got it's independence;
never heard of the Revolutionary
War, the War of 1912, the Mexican
War, or the Spanish-American War.
This was not confined to school grad
yates only, but to some men who
had had two years in high school and
who were no better informed.
when rs per cent of the young men
Of the republic are so ignorant of the
history of their country and its insti-
tutions, that country will not long
persist as a republic.
"To the companions of our order,
who are all middle-aged men, it will
undoubtedly come as a distinct sur
prise that in some of the large cities
we do not know the conditions in the
smaller towns: there is not a word
of the U. S. history taught until the
pupils have entered high school, which
means that the vast majority of the
rising generation, whose education
stops at the completion of the gram
mar school course, have no informa-
ton as to the history and traditions
of our country.
Patriotism is not a matter of in
stinct, it is result of early training;
and if the youth of our country are
allowed to grow up absolutely igno-
rant of the foundation and structure
Of our nation, we may hope for very
little regard or interest in its welfare
on the part of future generations."-

The Inherent Capacity for
,Americanism

Thus far / have suggested to your
mind the three cardinal tests Of
Americanism as applies to individuals
health and wholesome
homes and also immigration aspects
Of the basic labor and agricultural
problems. There come, now the cru
cial national life standards, for which
a few phases will suffice.
I submit that any immigrant, to be
desirable and an asset to America,
must come with an inherent capacity
for our kind Of citizenship. He may
be unframed, but he must not be I'M
tamable. There must be nothing in
his racial or national character that

had out of tar and feathers, why
shouldn't women have their share?
when the emperor of the Ku Klux
announced to the world that he was
organizing the feminine Klan, the
Kamelia, the new Imperial Wizard,
Evans, ordered Klansmen everywhere
within his jurisdiction to have moth
ing to do with the KluXettes or their
order. Evans charged Simmons with
greed; Simmons charged Evans with
greed.
There are conferences and up
roarious rows in all the klaverns of
the Klux. Sentiment among the Off
cials is divided. Some are for the
Emperor and some are for the I'm
perial Wizard
These people are not krazy. They
are not even slightly kukoo.
'Koin is koin"
Americans worthy of the name are
less interested in whether William
Joseph Simmons is an emperor, a
wizard or fool, than they are inter
ested in the fact that the squabble
over booty among Klan leaders may
result in destroying the organization.
AS the Norfolk, Va. Ledger-Dispatch
puts it:
What is of interest is that this
legal proceeding is very apt to put
the eternal kibosh on the whole mass
of Hummer and flubdub, half absurd
and half vicious, known as the Ku
Klux."
An Atlanta correspondent of the
New York World writes that already
Klans in several states are disband-
ing as result of the fight for con-
troll. And the La Grange, Ca, Re-
porter remarks:
''If the fight keeps up between the
leaders of the Klan, the Klansmen
may be so busy mobbing one another
that they won't have time to mob
any more outsiders"

THE JURYMAN

Trial by jury is a good deal like
absolute monarchy in one respect;
it is an excellent theory provided
you can get the right men to carry
1t out.
Max Steuer, a New York lawyer,
said recently that men of big af-
fairs make the best jurors"
1t is always difficult to get compe-
tent jurymen.
An incident is related of an i'm
portant insurance case which was
once tried in Chicago involving many
millions of dollars The taking of
evidence and the pleas of the counsel
had occupied three weeks. Just be-
fore the jury retired venerable look
ing juryman with long whiskers
arose and asked the judge if he
might be permitted to put one ques-
tion. The judge consented.
Well" said the juryman, stroking
his beard and looking very judicial,
there is one word which has been
used a great deal which l do not un-
derstand, and I wish the court would
tell me what 1t means. 1t is the
word defendant.

cap, and attacked the timbers like the
fear-maddened man he was, dragging
them by superhuman force out of the
way and clearing path to the refuse
Hours passed, while the sweat
poured from his forehead and his
muscles seemed to tear themselves
loose from their fastenlngs with the
exertion that was placed upon them.
Foot after foot, the muck was torn
away, as Fairchild, with pick and
shovel, forced a tunnel through the
great mass of rocky debris which
choked the drift. Onward-onward-

the barricade, and to lean close to 1t
that he might shout again. But still
there was no answer.
Feverish now, Fairchild worked
with all the reserve strength that was
in him. Behind that broken mass,
Falrchild felt sure, was his partner,
torn, bleeding through the effects of
some accident, he did not know what,

dead. Greater became the hole in the

TO admit his body Selling his car

ing onward toward the chamber where
the stope began, calling Harry's name
at every step, in vain The place was
empty, except for the pile of stone
and refuse which had been torn away
by dynamite explosions in the hang
ing wall, where Harry evidently had
shot away the remaining refuse in
last effort to see what lay in that
direction - stones and muck which
told nothing. On the other side
Fairchild stared blankly. The hole
that he had made into the foot wall
had been filed with dynamite and
tamped, as though ready for shooting.
But the charge had not been exploded.
Instead-on the ground lay the re-
mainder of the tamping paper and
short foot and half of fuse with its
illuminate of mercury cap attached,
where it had been pulled from it's
berth by some great force and hastily
stamped out. And Harry

CHAPTER XVI

1t was as though shades Of the past
had come to life again, to repeat in
the Twentieth century happening Of
the Nineteenth. There was only one
difference-no form of q dead man
now lay against the foot wall, to rest
there more than a score of years un-
til it should come to light, a pile of
bones in time-shredded clothing. And
as he thought of it, Fairchild remem-
bered that the earthly remains of
Sissie" Larsen had lain within almost
Il few feet of the spot where he had
drilled the prospect hole into the foot
wall, there to discover the ore that
promised bonanza.
But this time there was nothing and
no clue to the mystery of Harry's
disappearance. Fairchild suddenly
strengthened with an idea. Perhaps,
after all, he had been on the other
side of the cave-in and had hurried
on out of the mine But in that event,
would be not have waited for his re-
turn, to tell him Of the accident? How
ever it was a chance, and Fairchild
took it. Once more he crawled through
the hole that he had made in the cave
in and sought the outward world.
Then he hurried down Kentucky
gulch and to the Sampler But Harry
had not been there. He went through
town, asking questions, striving his
best to shield his anxiety, cloaking his
queries under the cover of cursory re-
marks Harry had not been seen. At
last, with the coming of night, he
turned toward the boarding house, and
on his arrival, Mother Howard, sight
ing his white face, hurried to him.
Have you seen Harry" he asked.
'No-he hasn't been here"

Passes to Reward
Miss Loeta MCGEE, who with her
mother spent several months in
Phoenix for the benefit of her health,
returned to their home in Los An
geles Tuesday, and according to a
telegram received by Mrs. Gillard, of
219 East Jefferson, at whose house
they stayed while here, the daughter
passed away Friday morning. Mr..
McGee, the husband and father, was
killed only short time ago by ban
dts who attempted to hold up a

which Mr. McGee was driving. Mrs.
MCGEE stated that she probably
would return to Phoenix this fall to
