Cafeteria Supper Thursday

Knights Of Pythias Hall, from 500
until 900 o'clock.
Come one, come all,
To the K of P. Hall,
Spend your cash-not on hash
But on chick-a-la-dash,
On salads and food
That'll do your heart good.
The walters have charm,
bimpid eyes, curving arm,
Feet whose skip bring a tip
Hurry all, get sip.
Purpose is for sums of cash
Not to spend on follies rash
But for Grammar School a song
That gives JOY the winter long.
Patrons League'll give you eats;
Good ones, too, you'll find 'em treats
If you'll help buy music sweet
To give school children "more than
meat"

THE ROYAL CUT UP
Presented By the Oakland High
School Students in Oakland

The spectacular musical comedy,
"The Royal Cut Up" proved to be a
phenomenal success as was evidenced
by the enormous crowds which greet
ed the efforts of the performers on
both nights of the entertainment.
The principal feminine role was
ably enacted by the beautiful Miss
Kathryn Stevenson, who displayed
innumerable charms and captivated
her audience. Her performance was
equal to that of professional.
The second feminine role was por-
trayed by Miss Elizabeth Dixon in
a most natural manner and sang with
finesse seldom displayed by an am
ateur.
Miss Beryl Davis was excellent as
the Duchess Bazaza, the principal
feminine comedian. Her antics con-
vulsed all who heard her and many of
the audience remarked that Miss
Davis ought to enter upon theatri-
cal career.
The comedians, Irving Baumgart-
ner and Swan Weber, were exception
ally clever and the pleasure of the
audience at their performance was
shown by repeated applause. Out
side critics have said that Irving and
Swan could easily rank with the best
comedians who have ever come to
the State of Maryland.
Messrs. James Wilson and Gilmore
Hamill were splendid in their leading
roles of High School boys. Their
acting and singing were highly
praised.
The villain of the play, George
Hanst, was all that could be desired.
He was fine both as "mummer' and
as a vocalist
PhloX, a character most important
in the plot of the play was extremely
well portrayed by Francis Grubbs.
Paul Willetts, messenger of the
king, Swan Weber, called forth much
laughter from the audience by his
clever acting.
Robert Ford and Walter Nine, two
members of the Royay Guard, were
highly complimented. Roberts yodel
song accompanied by Carter Forman
was beautifully sung and Walter
pleased the audience greatly with his
trombone solo.
The special dancers, Gladys Gender
and Isabelle West and Rose Murphy
with Kathleen Lawton were espec-
tally lovely as flower fairies and their
dancing was thoroughly appreciated
by all. Little Marry Faherty deser-
yes especial mention for her beauti-
ful and graceful dancing.
The flower fairies, poppy maids
and the High School boys added I'M
usual attractions. Their chorus work
was favorably commented upon and
it may be added that seldom is seen a
more beautiful bevy of young girls on
any stage as were these flower fair
les and poppy maids.
The kings guards caused much
merriment by their antics and their
brilliantly scenic attractions.
Last, but not least, must the writer
mention the band boys who did so
much toward making the play sue
cess with their lively music.
1t has been said by numerous peo-
pie that the Royal Cut Up" and the
writer agrees with them, is the best
amateur play that has ever been pro-
duced in or about Oakland. The sue
cess of the play must be attributed to
a very great extent to the Misses
Katharine and Ruth Conley, who so
ably directed it.
In finances over $4,000 were col
!ected, of which $4,000 will go to pay
expenses.

HONORS ARE EVEN

Mir. Cemcnceau is singularly unfortunate in some of his allusions. Speaking in Memor- ial Continental Hall in Washington, the na- tional headquarters of the Daughters of the American Revolution, he reminded his audi ence that France had come to the aid of America in 1776. "We answered your call, ' said lie, "Now are you going to answer ours?'
 Apparently the distinguished Frenchman thinks the United States still owes a moral debt to France on account of what his country did for us in the Revolution. In his query he gave no credit for what we did in the World War, but it has been the notion of most of us that what we did in 1918 repaid our obligation to France about twenty times
 In tEe money we spent on the war, the number of soldiers we sent to France, and the number of American lives lost in the struggle, we exceeded many times over the aid extended by France in the Revolution.
 Moreover, the United States preserved the indepeL dence of France in 1918 just as sure] y as France hastened the independence of Amer ica in 1776 It is apparent that both the moral and material debt we owed to France was completely wiped out in 1918.

THANE PROPERTY IS SOLD
 BIG PAPER PLANT COMM

An option has been given by the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company on the Thane property, including all it's hydro-electric resources and plants, for the erection and opera tion of a pulp and paper mill. The three chief officials of the company, President Hayden, Col. Jackling and B. L. Thane, have reached an agreement for disposing of the remaining gold mining mill equipment on the property and it has been decided to let it go in bulk.
 Two men, Louis T. Dulen. for several years manager of the Alaska Junk Company and also connected with the National Trading Company both of Seattle, and now interested for himself, and B. Levine, managing buyer for the Northwest Steel and Metal Products, Inc, of Seattle, were ln Juneau recently, in the interest of purchasing the mill equipment As soon as the deal of purchase fs closed work of dismantling the mill will commence, to leave clean field for the pulp and paper mill interest. This is the statement made to the Juneau Empire by W. T. Tolch. business manager of the Alaska Gastineau Gold Mining Company, MT. Tolch said he is not at liberty to disclose the identity of the cap ital that is to be used in the es- tablishment of the mill nor the ex- act date for the start of construc- t1on. It is his opinion, he said, that developments will begin to move lively within the near future

THE WHITEWASHING OF ARBUCKLE

The National Catholic Welfare Council will call on it's affiliated organizations ''to prevent the showing of Arbuckle films'' The general secretary of the international committee of the Young Mems Christian Association deplores the act of reinstatement" pointing to the hundreds of thousands of growing boys in the membership of the organization to whom this act is a public evil example. Women's clubs all over the country are protesting. Even the mayor of Los Angeles declares that public sentiment is opposed to the showing of Ar buckle pictures. ,... ,7~~.
 The truth is that the Hays decision was based, not on any broad and substantial foun- dation of public interest and morality, but on a mental flabbiness that is mistaken for Christian charity and that results in weak minded governors turning a certain number of ccry .cts loose as a Christmas present. Mr. Havs' announcement was more in accord with fine emotional surcharge of the tent-meeting revival than the experience and judgment of nar recently in contact with the realities of serious affairs Like all sentimentallty, 1t IS at once the neoation of reason and of Just1ce' and where the issue is an obvious one the public is able to see it in that light. It does mot always see things so. It is treated to an unconscionablc quantity of slop by ''idealists' and mcldlers of all sorts who mistake feeling for reason and rely on the public to do like wise, and are too often met half way. But this time the flub-dub fails. And its author
 justly enough, loses a large measure of public consideration.
 Likewise. the insidious practice of Prussian- izine our arts and industries by the extension of central dictation, as in the field of baseball and stage practice which if it accomplished anything would soon destroy individuality and initiative, has received, we hope, salu- tarv setback We are suffering from excessive government We are trying dictatorship in cvcly department of life. Liberty appears to have been forgotten. That is an evil thing But there is some hope in the situation when dictatorship falls so far below infalibilitv tIat its deficiences are patent. It IS too bad that old lesson seems never permanently ac- nurcd but it is much that when forgotten 1t can hc learned again.-Argonaut.

WHY THE HERMIT CRAB
 FEEDS HIS MESSMATES

LONDON, Jan. 16-The mystery of the hermit crab, and the reason why he always lives with "messmates" of other species, has at last been cleared up.
 Dr. J. H. Orton, of the Plymouth Marine Biological Laboratory, whose pet oyster became famous by reveal ing to science the power of the mol lusc to change it's sex, has studied the relationships of the common hermit crab to the anemone and certain aquatic worms which live communally with it.
 The conclusions reached by Dr. Orton are that both animals are benefited by their habits. The ane- none derives advantages from the hermit crab by being dragged about with its tenacles on the ground, and being given opportunities for picking up food left or lost by the crab. The crab obtains protection from fish at tacks owing to the unpleasantness of the anemones as food.
 In the case of the worm, one was observed to crawl alongside the body of the crab and literally take with impunity piece of food from between the crabs jaws and bolt it-an action tolerated by the worms landlord.

LONDON, Jan. 16.-Parliament is flirting with the delicate subject of raising its own salary.
 Members of the House of Con- annually in salary, an amount equiva- lent to less than $2,000, and there is a general opinion that this should be raised to at least 1000 pounds a year, or appropriately $5,000.
 Although the present salary hard ly pays the expenses of a member of the House of Commons, there is some reluctance on the part of the leaders to increase their own salar- ies at the present time, when there is grave unrest throughout the coun- try because of unemployment.
 Any move to increase salaries of commoners will probably meet with opposition from members of the La bor Party, who will urge that at a time when thousands of men are walking the streets without work Parliament can ill afford to spend the nations money in increased leg islative salaries This will afford a real test of the sincerity of the Labor members, too, because of all members the Laborites are as rule less able to live upon their salaries, The great majority of the Labor members are men who have given up their trades and businesses in order to serve in the House ot Com mons, and they find they are scarce ly able to live upon their salaries. Many of them have given up all attempts at fulfilling some Of the requisites of members of Parliament, particularly those aged old customs with regard to dress. Ramsay Mac Donald the Labor leader, appears in Corfmons garbed in a baggy tweed suit and offers a striking contrast to Bonar Law, who generally wears a cutaway coat with the customary striped trousers.
 The Labor members of the House of Commons, as well as many other members who are "new poor" really need an increase in salary, but 1t is doubtful whether they will take it until the present unemployment distress has been relieved.

George M. Conan is going to ap- pear in London in one of his own plays and his first appearance is being awaited with considerable in terest. Particular interest attaches to the reception Conan will get from the London critics, who haven't seen any of his work for some time. or late the London critics have been very harsh with American dramat- ists and actors, and have spared no efforts to convince the people of their foggy city that nothing good in the theater can ever be expected to come out of America. "Ragtime is the only art the Americans have,' the London critics claim, and it remains to be seen whether even George M Conan can show them wares which they will have to applaud. American motion pictures make wondereful progress in London, probably be- cause British pictures are so wretched, but American drama had hard sledding, and the critics will applaud a most mediocre British pro, duction, while a good American pro- duction is thoroughly dissected and dissected with a good deal of venom, too
