SEMINARY SENIORS GIVE
 CHARMING PLAY SATURDAY

Come Out of the Kitchen" has not dull line, and through the intelli- gent interpretation of the Seminary Seniors the wholesome humor of the comedy was delightful.
 This dramatic production took place Saturday night at the seminary before an enthusiastic audience, un der the direction of Mrs. Roberta K. Borden.
 Marye Moulton, as Olivia Danger field and as Jane Ellen was clever in her whimsical flirtatious role.
 The part of Elizabeth Dangerfield was charmngly depicted by Eliza beth May. Nary Tyler played with great charm the part of the naughty Mrs. Fallner, the designing mother. She made a handsome society matron with graying hair and elegant gowns as she wielded her silver lorgnette magnificently hither and thither In approved ballroom style.
 Mrs. Falkner's daughter, Cora, was admirably interpreted by the Au- burn -haired Frances PraytCr, who gave with real charm the picture of the submissive daughter.
 A notable and favorite character of the cast was Mandy" the black mammy. Margean Schwine played this part very realistically. She was jolly, loyal. neering-everything that the old time mammy should be.
 The part of Burton Crane. the rich Yankee, was played by Marguerite Lee, who from the first to the last line gave real momentum to the dra- matlc movement of the play. AS gra- cious hest, and later as the ardent lover, the character was portrayed with genuine power.
 Stella Goodman, in her dual role of | N11 Cv,1tf Ike FtA11 n dignified butler, also deserved honor able mention. Her English accent was excellent, and her stage manner perfect
 Charlie" the youngest of the fam I lily, was played splendidly, taken by Ethel Adkins. Later as "Brindy' and later still, as the ancient servitor, she gave skillful limitations of man ners below stairs.
 Elizabeth Taylor, as Randolph Weeks, the family friend, and one of Oliyias many suitors, gave an excel | lent impersonation of a country gen. tleman of Virginia.
 The part of Solon Tucker, the northern attorney, was played py Elizabeth Graham, with thorough | appreciation of the subtle devices oi the old beau
 Adella Brasfield, as Tom Lefferts | poet and satistician, was forceful ana convincing in her delineation Of the | fantastic character.
 The members of the class, Gather inc Ozburn, as dramatic critic, and Annie Laurie Penn, Elizabeth Hanhn, Lillian Ceker, Gladys Hurley ana Elise Bell, as understudies anu asslSt ants. rendered valuable service to the | Dramatic association. The senior class realized handsome sum TOT the memorial fund.

Genius.

What is genius? Is 1t the gift Of
Heaven, as some think, or is it the
capacity for hard work. as others
think? l don't know, and don't care.
Whatever it is, 1t has been talked Of
too much. Its possibilities are over
estimated, or if not overestimated, at
least given too much importance. We
are tired and sick Of this prattle about
genius, about some folks being born
with silver spoons in their mouths,
while the rest of the world must take
a back seat. Pooh! Forget it. Life
is wholly a matter of emphasis. Many
a s~o-called genius does not turn out as
well, nor fill his niche in life so nobly,
as does the person with fewer talents.
Why? Because the latter placed en-
phasis upon things worth while, while
the highly endowed individual did not
do so.-Nathan Howard Gist in Grit.

Secretary Daniels a Dry.

These initial steps toward the end
which came in the form of the prohibit
ton amendment to the Constitution
were followed by other steps to re-
move what might be called the nation
al official sanction from the sale and
the use of liquors. Ten years ago
~Josephus Daniels, then secretary of
the navy. looked up the .aw which
abolished the army canteen in which
beer was sold to enlisted men, and
concluded it to be a good idea to carry
forward the abolition movement. The
result was that the secretary issued
the following order which went into
immediate effect:
1.-The use, or introduction for drink
board a naval vessel or in any navy
yard or station is hereby forbidden"
Under the new rule it was impos-
sible, and it has been impossible ever
since, for officers on board ship TO
drink or serve liquor, and it has been
impossible for officers whose quarters
on shore are within the limits of n
navy yard to serve so much as a glass
of claret at the dinner table.
Prohibition, so far as government
service, and the District of Columbia
itself are concerned, was a matter of
evolution. 1t was not very long after
the issuance of the Daniels order that
congress established prohibition in the
District of Columbia. This vas some
time before the Eighteenth amend
ment was submitted to the country for
ratification. 1t was generally believed
when the law preventing the sale of
liquor in the District was passed that
it forecast sympathetic action in con-
gress on the matter of submission of
the prohibition amendment to the peo-
pie. Washington, therefore, was sup
