ROX|E AND: GANG.
. DELIGHT HUGE
CROWD
Master Impresario Will Give
Two More Performances
at Auditorium

Roxie and his gang will duplicate
in the Washington Auditorium this
afternoon and tonight the super
heterodyne entertainment which last
night won the unmiStakable APP
proval OF President Coolidge and an
audience Of celebrities and ordinary
folks who attended the popular af-
fair given under the auspices of the
National Press Club.
Roxie believes practice makes per-
feet and therefore those who attend
today's performances are guaran-
teed they will be even more spon-
taneous and meritorfous than those
of yesterday, IL that is possible.
Just to prove their work is play to
them the gang went up to WCAP
last midnight after their two shows
at the Auditorium and put on a
program for the "stay-ins."
It was not long after the Presi-
dent arrived that he fell into the
spirit of the evening and those
close to him declare he registered
more genuine enjoyment than he
has ever before displayed at theatri-
cal entertainments. soon after he
arrived Roxie had the gang sing
the song Of Calvin Coolidge's Alma
Mater, t'Lord Amherst"
Julia Glass, a wee girl but a
giant of pianist, played THE Hun
garian Rhapsody" Next came Doc.
tor Billy, William Axt, to the fore
as director OF the Capitol Theater
Orchestra. Then Doug Stansbury
delighted with a few favorite selec.
tons. "Saxy.phunny," new addi-
ton to the gang, played sax" as
1t never had been played before.
Margaret Mckee, a whistler,
scored distinct hit IN the Listen
to the Mocking Bird" Daddy Jim
Coombs, Ava Bombarger and Frank
Moulan each took 4 turn at bat.
Moulan scored heavily when he put
over II Murdered Her" and "Appio
Sauce"
One Of the outstanding hits of the
evening was the rendition of "Yes,
We Have No Bananas" in operate
strain.
Those who attend the shows this
afternoon and tonight should not fail
to join in the response to Roxie's
Hello, Everybody" Last night
Roxie was simultaneously saluted
by 5000 people whose Hello,
Roxie" could be heard for blocks
around.
After the performance Roxie took
occasion to thank the Washington
public for their response to the
radio hospital fund. He told them
how he has been recognized in every
corner Of the city as he has gone
about during his visits here.
Other features on the program
were: Betty Ayres sang Sweet
hearts," from "Maytime;" a sextet
put over Deep River" Gladys Rice
sang my Hero" from 1.-THE Choco-
late Soldier" Carolyn Andrews, a
-coloratura soprano, favored with "Lo
Hear the Gentle. Lark" and Doc.
tor Eugene Ormand, violinist, lulled
the senses with a beautiful caprice.
Oh, yes! The orchestra played 1.-The
Capitol Theater March," composed
by Doctor Billy. Candy" danced
and sang a song.

BALTIMORE, March IA
warning against dieting by
young women to attain the
sylph-like figure most favored
by present fashions was broad

Gals declared that dieting can
be easily overdone and that if
it is serious results. may. fol-
low.
The first indication that an.
unwise course is being followed
will be a "draggy feeling" ac-
cording to the health officials.
The girls do not feel like study
ing or exercising, and they
easily catch cold or suffer some
chronic or serious ailment, it
was said. The health officials
advise that the weight be kept
normal and girls are urged to
avoid both overeating and under
eating.

With JIM RING
Poem About Saturday.


When Saturday, in course of time,
Arrives upon the scene,
NV mind surveys, with Joy
sublime,
A Sunday, bright, serene;
A day of restfulness or play,
Hcwe'er / care to do" 1t,
So even on this Saturday
I'm looking forward to 1t.
Oh, think a bit Of Saturday
With inward exultation,
Because its dragging hours are gay
With bright anticipation.
Yes, let us think, with boundlesS
glee,
On Sunday-not q "blues" day;
Oh, think your fill, for thinklnSs
free
won't get paid til Tuesday!

Those Old Days.

Ye Ed recites. in the last line
Of the deathless ode above a
sad fact about the hirelings OF
the press. AS a rule. newspaper
men do not get paid until Tues.
day rolls around.
The regulation is a hangover
from the pre-Volstead era, when
editors, arriving at their offices
on Monday morning, were cha
grined to find that a quorum was
not present. The boys had been
out celebrating, after being paid
on Saturday, and just couldn't
drag themselves away from the
fun.
Thus it. was, more as a matter
of business welfare than any
thing else, that Sunday is ordi-
narily a financially fag-end day
for newspaper men. Perhaps
after. ALI

TO TEACH CITIZENSHIP

Citizenship will be given greater
emphasis than ever before in the
state public schools, beginning next
year, the department of education an
nounces. A revised course of study
is in preparation.
The teaching of citizenship and its
duties will begin in the fourth and
fifth grades, children being impress
ed with their part in public life as
school attendants. AS the children are
able to understand it they will be
taught the theory Of school govern
ment, then of town, county and state
governments beginning at HON e
where the children will be urged to
form the acquaintance of local offici-
ais and obtain first hand information
Of their duty.
Advanced classes taking up the
study of the federal constitution,
which from the birthday of that docu-
nent, September II, is to have a
much more prominent place in the
state schools, will find that, the docu-
ment has been "humanized." That is
d.. Josephine Corliss Preston, state
superintendent, is preparing course
of leading coinc:dent with study Of
the constitution, so they can better
understand the historic background
of the constitution and feel the pat
riotic impulse that drafted the famous
legal document.

SELECT SEED Now

Farmers who are interested in pro-
ducing seed potato stock should go
through the fields thoroughly now to
select the 1926 seed Mosaic and
other related diseases can be seen
in the field, but the tubers will show
no trace of it in the bin.
Potatoes produced from certified
seed should be isolated from fields
of common stock, warns George l..
Zundel, extension specialist in plant
diseases at the State College OF
Washington.
Growers often make the mistake
of failing to isolate seed stock. One
man in this state spent $4,000 to buy
certified seed, and his patch showed
not over one pa. cent of mosaic. Or
one side of the patch and around
each end he had planted about IL
rows of common seed which averag.
ed 30 per cent mosaic.
One farmer had had certain strain
of stock on his farm for 20 years. Il
was isolated SO that practically nc
mosaic had infested his fields. This
year he brought in another variety
of potatoes and planted two rows ir
the field with his stock. The new
stock showed 100 per cent mosaic
and this will undoubtedly infest his
potato field for a long time.

FARMS IMPROVING

While nothing definite has been out
lined, it is understood that the recon-
mendations laid down by President
Coolidge's special agricultural COM
mission VIII be carefully considered.
The commission made its Export last
spring, but SO much confusion exist
ed in Congress over the question OF
just what the farmers really wanted
that most of the commissions recon-
mendations failed of passage.
According to the official viewpoint
here, the character of the legislation
and the amount necessary will prob
ably be determined to great extent
by the demand made by farmers this
fall. Their demands in turn, it was
pointed out, will depend on general
farm conditions, the price of products
and the crop raised this year.
Some experts who have called or
the President in the last few weeks
have argued that the farm crisis ha:
passed and that the condition of agri
culture is bound to improve from now
on. Others, however, are not so Opt
nistic,

FARMERS INCOMES VARY

The number of hours a farmer
works has nothing to do with h S
profits, according to records kept by
farmers themselves.
Of group of 20 Greene county
Ohio, farmers who kept farm records
for the past three years in coopera-
ton with rural economists at the
Ohio State university, those who put
in the longest hours did not make any
more money than those who averaged
only six hours day.
Money Returns Figured
Three men who worked an average
of 11.2 hours for every week day in
the year made labor incomes averag-
ing 1894 a year, while three others
who worked only So ho.rs day
made labor incomes averaging 1896
year.
Three farmers who made the high.
est labor incomes in this group av.
eraged $1048 a year and worked o.t
hours day. The three at the bottom
Of the list, with incores less than $37t
worked 9.5 lIours day.
Feeding Costs Noted
The more successful farmers got {
return of $1.26 for each dollars worth
of feed givea 20 livestock, while thu
men with low incomes received or]y
81 cents from each dollar invested
in feed.
Those making the better income
also had corn yields averaging S.
bushels more an acre than tn ose witt
lower returns.
