bob" LAWRENCE OPENS
SCHOOL ON 18TH STREET

No city in the country outranks
Washington as seat of culture
reelected in our numerous schools
and colleges. All the arts and sci.
ences are taught here, and no method
Of self expression is more popular
than voice culture.
1t is natural, therefore, that the
Lawrence School of Singing, No.
718 Thirteenth street northwest,
should enjoy popularity as 1t assur-
edly does.
This school is under the direction
of Robert Lawrence, whose fame has
spread by means Of the radio to all
parts Of the country. The Bob"
Lawrence community singing is as
famous to listenars-in as Roxy and
his Gang"
Lessons in singing are given in
classes or privately.

Temple now stands.
Mike dispensed real Whistles at
3 cents per drink and is cents per
pint. He supplied the best liouorv.

Each OF the big coppey-three-cen
pieces Of those days represented d

There would be little profit today
IN real Scotch at 3 cents drink.
but Mike got rich and became the
third richest citizen Of Washington.
He acquired considerable property
before he finally retired.

tertainers Who Played Here

The dramatic Council Of The Y w.
c. A. has just purcased, from the At
lanta Scenic Company, a new set Of
scenery for the stage. The set is in
eleven pieces and includes double
door, two single doors, window and
a fire place. The scenery is double
faced; one side being used for
drawing room and the other side for
the room of a more modest dwelling,
or kitchen or a garage. It is con-
structed entirely Of canvas with
frame Of white pine and is 50 light
that it may be easily set up by two
boys.
Some time ago the Dramatic Coun-
ell added to the stage equipment
three Baby-Spot lights which were
badly needed and which have proved
to be a great help to performances
staged at the auditorium. While in
this city, several of the Lyceum en-
tertainers said that they had not been
on such a well equipped stage in a
town this size daring their tours.
The lighting system is modern and
up-to-date in every detail The Ora
matte Coucil is indeed to be con-
graduated for their good work in

equipped stages Of town this size

MARiETTA's CONDUCT is
IMPROVING, SAYS GooDSoN

Unless something is done imme-

of saints, or at least Chief of Po-
lice Goodson and his force seem to
think so. According 10 the chief
there were only FIVE cases made
Memorial Day. Three of these
were for speeding and two for dis
orderly conduct. This is the best
record that the city has ever
known for Memorial Day.
Several years ago, before the
Mayor cleaned out the numerous
soft drink stands around the park,
and when hundreds of out.of.town
colored folks locked here for the
occasion it was almost impossible
TO get room in the city's lodging
quarters on Memorial Day. Res
ervations had to be made sometime
in advance.

BRYANT LEADS
STICK WORK Of
MARIETTA CLUB
Failure To Hit When Hits Meant
Runs Came Near Costing
Locals the Game
Raymond Rice

approximately HIUeen HunuFeQ
fans from Marietta and surrounding
towns packed Browns Park Wednes-
day afternoon to see the new club
win the opening game of the season
in spectacular fashion. After trail
ing the Tate marble cutters for eight
innings the fighting smokers" pulled
remarkable comeback and knotted
the score in the last half Of the ninth
inning. The winning run was pushed
over in the tenth after two were out.
Fighting Spirit Evident
The wisdom of Managers Latimer
and Moore in selecting a team COM
posed of young blood was proved
J Wednesday by the never-die spirit
the local boys displayed. Time after
time it looked as if Marietta would
make enough runs to win the game
but in an equal number of times dame
fortune turned against US and the
locals were shut out. But never
once did the boys show any signs of
giving up and it was through this
spirit that Marietta won its opening
game and it will be because of this
spirit that they will continue to win
games.
Jake Morris, the favorite of all Ma
rietta fans, was on the mound for
the home crew. While the Tate boys
amassed eight hits off him he man
aged to keep them we'll scattered ex-
cept in the seventh when the visitor
pushed across three runs. However,
this was not all due to Jake, as Maui
rier on third threw wild to the first
sack.
This was the only bobble made by
this lad. He redeemed himself sew
eral times by making phenomenal
stops and equally good throws to
first.
Tate Scores First
Tate drew first blood in the third.
Davenport walked, Mumford ad-
vanced him to second when he sin
gled. Cy Hawkins brought Daven-
port in with a pretty single. Right
here something must be said of that
old warhorse Cy. Out of five trips
to the plate he found four to his lik-
ing, getting a double and three sin
giles. Besides this he played fine
fielding game.
The marble cutters counted again
when Baum, first man up in the
"bloody seventh" singled. An error
by Hamilton in left field put Simp-
son safely on first while Baum had
to stop at second. Baker rolled an
easy one to Jake, who threw Baum
out at third Here Davenport dou-
bled, scoring Simpson. Mumford
was an easy out-Morris to Eskew.
At this point old Cy stepped up to
the plate and again proved his worth
as ball player by connecting Win
one of Jake's slants for pretty
double, scoring both Baker and Da-
venport. Parks made the last out
when he lifted long fly to Hamil-
ton in left. This ended the scoring
for the visitors.
Locals Pull Rally
The last half of the ninth came
and most Of the Marietta fans had
given up all hopes of winning the
game, but down on the bench Man
ayers Latimer and Moore were plead
ing with the boys for victory. And
did they fail their bosses? I'll say
they didn't.
Maurier first up was thrown out
Davenport to Cy Hawkins. Captain
Pug singled and not content with this

371-2 GALLONS A YEAR
 SOUGHT AS WINE QUOTA

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23.-Thirty- seven and one-half gallons of wine per year per person!
 This figures out little less than pint day ,and, according to Karl H M. Gardner, chief priest of the Holy Rosicrucian Church it is a per- fectly proper amount of wine for the members of his flock.
 Gardner has set this forth in a suit filed here seeking a permanent injunction to prevent Federal off cials from further carrying out 'il- legal and unconstitutional rules, reg ulations and orders.'
 The suit is directed against An drew J. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury; David H. Blair, Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue; Ray A. Haynes, Federal prohibition officer; Joe c. Burke, United States Attor- ney, and other Federal and prohibi- tion officers.
 The suit also asks that the de fendants be further prevented from depriving the plaintiff of "enjoying privileges and immunities which by law are rightfully his in his ca pacity as chief priest of the Holy Ro- sicrucian Church."
