Opera House Thursday

At the Wateryille Opera House on
Thursday. Jan. 10, will be held the
local presentation OF THE Hunchback
of Notre Dame" the picturized YER
sion of Victor Hugo's classic which
has come down through the ages
with untarnished lustre. Aside from
the natural interest in the screening
of such a notable masterpiece, there
is n general interest to see the pro-
euction which required more than a
year to film and on which an enor-
nous sum was expended.
Liberties were taken with the story
being defended on the ground that
a production Intended for all classes
could not afford to offend any par
ticular religious ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
while many shook their heads and
predicted dire failure as a result. the
changes have been approved by both
the Boston and New York critics.
George Christian. secretary to the
late President Harding, voiced the
general opinion of the enthusiastic
audience when at the conclusion of
the picture. he said. Il think. with

entertaining picture that has ever

Modern Jerusalem

The ancient city OF Jerusalem.
where Christ did so many OF hin
mighty works. now has q modern
waterworks system. The reservoirs
known as the Pools of Solomon were
not really Solonion's at all. but Were
made by Roman engineers. These
have been cleaned out and their
leaks stopped. Now two of them are
at work again. They hold 10000 900
gallons,
The pools are supplied from q
spring in a cavern called Bir Darash.
A large quantity of gravel and stones
has been removed, and the aQueduct
and tunnels between the spring and
the pools repaired: and Jerusalem
has its up-to-date waterworks--a
splendid tribute TO the science Of
ancient Rome.
For many years the origin Of Jeru-
salem's water supply was a secret.
During the siege of Jerusalem the
hesiegers were disappointed in their
hope of the city surrendering through
lack of water.

Tells OF Travels TO
Business WOmen'S Club

Miss Florence NJ. Hale of Augusta,
State Agent for Rural Education in
Maine, gave an interesting account of
her travels through the great west
this past fall and summer before n
good attendance at the business and
Professional WOman's club of this
city last evening. Miss Hale stated
at the beginning of her address that
the most enjoyable part of travelling
was the privilege of being able to
come back to her home and relate
some of her experiences to her
friends.
THE next most pleasant part"
said tie speaker, lis the meeting and
making acquaintance and friends on
the trips"
She told about her visits to Ne
braska and San Francisco. relating
some of her experiences at the In
ternationall Educationa Conference
at the latter city. She stated that
there were delegates from every
country on the globe. (civi,ized) and
pointed out the most outstanding
feature of the conference as the
Peaceful and Understanding Ele-
ment." The little things, she reported.
were augured upon and smoothed
away, So that when the really i'm
portant issues came up before the
delegation for discussion there was
little or no trouble.
Miss Hale has also visited the Ma
tional Educational Association meet
ing at Oakland. Cal. and at Cedar
Falls, Iowa, She became acquainted
with great many of the western
farmers. She classified as the most
interesting visit on her trip. her stay
at Springfield, H., where she became
t,,tA -
ana daughters OF Abraham Lin
coins closest friends.
II have never fully appreciated the
high points of Lincoln's character
said Miss Hale. until | met and
talked with some of those people who,
from their childhood, have known
about him."
She said that she had been told
many little antidotes concerning his
character, that We're far better eX-
amples of his honesty and sincerity
than some of those that are written
in history.
But the peculiar part Of his life.
was that he was Il great deal like
the rest of us, in other peoples opin-
ions" said the speaker.
Then she told OF how when he left
Springfield to take up the most ser
ious and responsible job in history.
there were only 40 people who saw
him go. She said that his going was
Ike q great many Others. There
were many people in the town who
were not proud of or didn't care
enough about the matter to rejoice
in his success. She likcned this town
to Il great many other ones in which
some man has made good. but ieal-
ousy or other feelings had entered
the hearts of the townspeople and
made them Indifferent. She mem
toned his address at the station,
where the little group of 40 people
stood huddled in the rain. The most
of them critisizcd his words as be-
ing plain and short but one man
thought that it was important and
took notes. went home and wrote
it.
That IS. she declared. why the pco-
PIE have his message today.
The rest of the program consisted
OF cornet solo by Alfred Childs. n
