unusually well selected, though the
strings should have been supplement-
ed with more brass for outdoor effect.
The book, written by Prof. Dawson,
was very well conceived and brought
out the high lights of the settlement,
and the founding and growth of the
school splendidly; it should have been
pruned here and there to cut off a half
hour Of the time, and to pep up the
action, which Jagged in spots, and
had it been given a second presenta-
ton, this would undoubtedly have
been done. The audience enjoyed the
herald-Stentor himself could have
done no better at loudness and clari-
ty of enunciation. On second pre-
sentation the management would
have rearranged the seating, and so
eliminated the only real cause Of com
plant. The writer had a seat in the
reserved section-nice chairs 'nevery-
thing, the only drawback being that
those who sat in them could neither
see nor hear; on motion of Brer Doo-
little, of Ellsworth, who claimed to
have left his periscope at home, we
moved to the plebian bleachers, a lit
tie less comfortable but much better
placed. When a couple of thousand
others tried to do the same a few
moments later there was trouble, and
a number took advantage of the man
agement's offer to return the entrance
fee to all who wished to leave. But
in spite of the trouble the crowd, ike
all American crowds, remained good
natured and joked instead of scold
ing. We hope that the Normal will
give another pageant at the end of
the next half century, and that we
may all be able to attend it.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS
Continued from Page u

tOOnIAnuGu 1AOH1 dSO ~
the founding of the Normal, but it
went back further than that and
showed scenes representing the early
history and settlement of the River
Falls country from the coming of the
first pioneers and missionaries, their
contact with the red men, the days
of the old log school house, Civil
War scenes and right down to the
present time.
The setting was inspiring. With no
less than 5000 people sitting in seats
on the Normal campus, the stage
scenes backed by gorgeous setting
of trees representing the forest
primeval," gorgeously dressed char
acters representing everything from
brownies, indians, pioneers, mission
aries, early school masters, Civil War
and World War veterans, pioneer
wagons, charac ers, representing
Truth, Industry, Education, Virtue,
all the arts, etc., ETC., and the Goddess
of Liberty. to Death, Old Father Time
and again, etc., etc.,-all made a
very impressive scene.
The founding of the first Normal
school fifty years ago was depicted,
then the burning of the building in
1914, and the laying of the new cor
ner stone, were all nicely carried out.
There must have been three or four
hundred people that took part.

Monday night are loud in their praise
of the event. A lot of folks failed to
see the event, however, including
most of the boys in the press box.
Fortunate, indeed, was he who
came early, having failed to secure
a resesved seat, and thus avoiding
the rush of reserved seat holders In
the direction of the bleachers. Long
before the entertainment began 1t be-
came evident that parquet.mpatronS
were due for sore n:ssaa31gss=S gday.
The pageant dealt al Is
and the Kinniclinnic valley from the
early pioneer days to the present
time. The spirit of education, instill-
ed in the hardy pioneers was promi-
nently brought out as River Falls
progressed from the days of the log
cabins and country school house to
the present days of our neighboriug
city's substantial dwellings and mod
ern educational institute.
The cast numbered over five hum
dred and showed careful training at
the hands of capable directors.
The pageant would bear repeating.

NORMAL PAGEANT
ATTRACTS 5000
History Of st. CrOix Valley Is I'm
folded To Spectators In Inspiring
Series OF Brilliant Scenes
And TableauX

Hastings Gazette: An audience ,un
officially estimated to number 5000
persons, packed the open air amphi-
theatre at the River Falls Normal
grounds last Monday evening for the
presentation of the brilliant histori-
cal pageant, prepared by the school
faculty, student body and townspeople
In honor of the semi-centennial OF
the Normal's activities.
The pageant, in beauty of costumes
and stage settings, in arrangement
of scenic effect and in the perform
ance Of its cast, was a production Of
which River Falls may well be proud.
More than five hundred actors, en-
'pl0yed In the various scenes, moved
IN perfect harmony throughout the
centre performance and the unfolding
of the history of the ST. Croix valley
from the establishment of the first
pioneer home to the construction OF
the present Normal building was car
ried out in a manner that elected the
admiration and praise of all who wit
messed the imposing spectacle.
The lighting arrangement, which
set off with beautiful effect the natur-
al stage upon which the various his
torical events were portrayed, was
exceptionally effective and added
much to the success of the pageant.
Among the many interesting scenes
presented was one which held the
spectators attention with unusual ap-
peal because of its touch of~reallsm;
the scene was arranged to portray a
battlefield of the World War, with
American soldiers forcing their way
through barbed wire entanglements
while brilliant aerial display of
fireworks flooded the field with artl-
fetal lights of many colors. The mu-
steal accompaniment throughout the
pageant was in perfect accord with
the unfolding drama and greatly en-
HANGED its spell.

SUCCESSFUL BEYOND ALL EX-
PECTATIONS, RIVER FALLS
NORMAL SCHOOL PAGEANT

New Richmond News: Away be-
yond the most optimistic expecta-
tions of the promoters and manage
ment, did the historical pageant pre-
sented on the occasion of the semi
centennial of the River Falls Normal
school Monday, go-so far beyond
their expectations that those in charge
of the affair were still quite over
whelmed with the degree of success
they attained, when questioned by a
News reporter yesterday.
New Richmond sent down big
delegation and to say that they were
dee-lighted expresses it mildly, in
deed.
The attendance was not less than
$500, the News is informed. Much
larger than had been planned or pro-
vided for. But almost everyone who
attended saw what there was to be
seen and heard what there was to be
heard. And it was all well managed.
To handle a crowd of this size in that
area would have taxed the capacity
and ingenuity of professionals.

FIREARMS AND PERMITS

The close association between high nom
icide records and the concealed weapOns habit
which, has been demonstrated in many cen
ters OF cosmopolitan population was recently
emphasized by situation in Chicago. With
in the space of a few days three justices
az the peace in Cook county issued fifteen
hundred permits to carry deadly weapons,
the persons seeking the permits offering
70 nav from two to five dollars each. Such
4 demand would seem to indicate that crime
in that city is on the increase whether the
majority of the permits were issued to per
sons who had no proper grounds for apply
ing for them, or to those who felt the need
for special protection from the criminal ele-
nent.
In theory, the law providing for the issu-
ance Of the permits stipulates that only cit
liens of good reputation are entitled to them.
Justices of the peace are presumed to ascer-
tain the records. associations and character
of the applicants. Yet it seems that nearly
anyone who could get some ward politician

liz obtain a revolver permit. The result is
that hundreds of thugs and criminals IN
Chicago found no difficulty in providing
themselves with firearms
A situation which allows dangerous char
aeters in a great city to go armed is sure

such a condition are sure to become insis-

as would have happened if new law had
not been enacted to take the place of the

that this was the wise course for the presi-

they will not make an international scene

Hudson at Storm King with great bursting

difficulty boring in the rivers center went
down $50 feet without reaching rock.
Then shafts were sunk on each side and
cross borings found good rock at $50 feet,
