have arranged splendid evening en-
tertainment concluding with grand
ball in City hall auditorium to bring
the celebration to a proper climax.
James Comedian Is chairman Of
the evening entertainment, which fol-
lowing the precedent of last year will
be high class presentation of a re-
cent Broadway success by well
known Augusta amateur Thespians.
1.-THE First Year." Frank Craven's
great comedy drama of young mar
ried life in the period directly fol-
lowing the war, will be the vehicle
to be seen on the boards at City hall
on the evening of November IL.
Comedian himself will play the role
made famous by the author, that of
Tommy Tucker" and opposite him
will be Miss Dorothy Stone as Grace
Livingston" who becomes Mrs. Tom
my Tucker" and this pair is the whir1-
ing vortex about which the swift
moving action of the piece is drawn.
Famous Broadway Success
The entire cast of the famous play,
which was originally produced by John
Goldwyn and Winchell Smith, will be
composed of favorites. all of whom
have already established their preem-
inence through many successful ANA
teur productions in this city. Arthur
S. Merrill and Miss Harriet v. En-
right will play the roles of Mr.. and
Mrs. Livingston, parents of the fair
heroine; Don C. Metcalf will be the
Doctor" and this part will give this
sterling amateur one OF the best OPP
portunities of his career to display his
versatility.
Others to be seen in the three acts
of THE First Year" will be George A.
]. Froberger as Vic Loring," Tommy's
rival in the game Of love; Miss Anne
Falkner as Hattie" the negro maid
in the Tucker home; George Martin
and Miss Frances Falkner as Mr.. and
Mrs. Barstow." Those who witnessed
the Broadway presentations of this
play, which was the big success In the
metropolis for two seasons, will ap-
preciate it's appropriateness for pre-
sentation on the Armistice Day OBJ
servance. They also know that it will
provide an entertainment of exception
al calibre and undoubtedly the Legion
players will be fronted with capaci-
ty audience on that night. Rehearsals
are now being conducted with James
Comedian directing the efforts.
Seventh Armistice Ball
The seventh annual Armistice Night
ball will be staged in the City hall au-
ditorium directly following the final
curtain on the three-act comedy drama.
Committees, floor aides and the music
are being arranged for and, as in past
years, this feature will probably at
tract one of the greatest gatherings of
dancers of the early social season.

when more definite reports about the
havoc wrought in several sections Of
the city came in.
Undoubtedly the most spectacular
and at the same time greatest single
damage was at the residence of DR..
Richard H. Stubs at 1873 State
street, where a hundred foot, century
old elm crashed down upon the
sturdy brick dwelling, breaking the
caves overhang and cornice. and
practically demolishing the beautiful
front entrance portico. The damage
to the Stubs property will probably
approximate $1,000.
At Camp Keyes on the State Mus
ter field, where a crew working for
the 0. B. Frost Company we're en-
gagged in erecting the frameworks, for
the permanent mess shacks recently
authorized by the War Department,
six Of the eight buildings which were
framed in ready for the corrugated
iron covering collapsed from the
force of the furious wind late Satur-
day afternoon. Fortunately at the
time the structures were swept to the
ground, there We're no worltmen
about, which possibly saved loss of
life or serious physical injury.
A crew Of men was sent to the
muster ground and by placing tenn
porary braces in. two Of the mess
shack frames they were saved from
obstruction. Mr., Frost estimates the
damage at about $500, which will be
the cost Of reconstructing the crump-
led buildings. The stock and mater
ials were but slightly damaged.
Splendid shade and fruit trees in
all sections Of the city were snapped
loff or up-rooted. and the monetary
damage resulting is almost impossi-
BILE to estimated. There was also
some considerable damage to tele-
phone and electric utility lines.

A busy six months has been mapped
out by the Navy Department for the

that will take her to the Caribbean

mooring ship in the flights. will send
the Los Angeles on a flight from her
Lakehurst hangar to Bermuda be-
tween February 16 and %; TO San
Juan, Porto Rico, between March l
and Il. and the Canal Zone between
April IS and May 10. Decision be-
tween Europe and Honolulu will be
reached in the meantime for the long
flight to be undertaken in May or
June.
With the helium supply by then
permitting operation of both craft
simultaneously, the Shenandoah will
leave for southern waters on March

ships there.
Tender to Precede Los Angeles.
The Patoka is to be based in Chesa-
peake Bay CBaItimore) during the
early part of February, where the
Los Angeles will experiment with its
ship mooring device. Later the
Patoka will go to Bermuda, San Juan
and the Canal Zone to act as d moor
ing base for the Los Angeles during
those flights and still later will join
the scouting fleet in Guacanayabo
Bay, Cuba, to be used as a base by the
Shenandoah during joint maneuvers
until May 19, when the tender will
return to Chesapeake Bay.
The schedule for the Los Angeles
calls for three weeks of experim entail
flights from Lakehurst this month
and during that time she will be
moored at intervals to the Patoka
in the vicinity of Baltimore.
From January % to 25 the Ger

returning May 10.
A final determination as to her
destination on the longest flight
scheduled will be made in the mean
time. In any event, she will start
about May 20, either for Honolulu or
for Europe.
Lack of sufficient helium to initiate
both ships prevents simultaneous
