WAGES OF VIRTUE" ROMANCE
OF FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION
To Be Shown This Monday And
Tuesday Evenings.

The Foreign Legionl What a
glamorous thrill, what an epitome
of adventure, what swift winged
flights of Imagination those three
dauntless words haunt before our
tranquil lives Three words whose
full significance seems to have been
wildly plucked from the ideally sym
bolic tricolor of France itself, and
planted in the corner of a foreign
land that is forever all the worlds
own monument to courage.
1t is about these intrepid legion
naires, recruited from the far corners
of the earth, and of whom it is said,
The folds of their flag are not broad
enough to hold their claims to glory"
that the new Paramount picture,
wages of Virtue" is woven-or,
rather, about Carmelita, beautiful
young daughter of the regiment.
Gloria Swanson plays Carmelita, an
Italian girl who becomes the pride of
the Legion.
wages of Virtue" adopted to the
screen by Forrest Halseys from the
novel by Percival Wren, is hear
appealing romance of an Algerian
barrack town. Carmelita is rescued

Special Meeting
Of School Board
Architect Notified To Draw Plans For
New School. Teachers Reelected.

At an adjourned meeting of the
Beverly Board of Education, held
Wednesday evening, the present Su-
pervisor, Professor James b. Dilks
and the present corp of grade teach
ers were unanimously reelected for
the 1925-26 term.
The Teachers Committee was pre-
pared to make recommendations to
fill two vacancies which were antici-
pated from the previously announc-
ed intention of Professor Dilks and
lMrs. M. Fogarty to retire. Both had
fully decided to end their lifetime
school activities this June and had
made application for pensions. How
ever the Board was unwilling to re-
lease them and finally was successful
in persuading them to accept for an
other year.
For more than an hour the Board
discussed the situation in the presence
of Professor Dilks. Every member
personally appealed to these veterans
to "carry on" for another year.
Their exceptional ability was extolled
in no uncertain terms. No teacher
could have received more earnest
appeal or more glowing praise for
remarkable services performed.
Professor Dilks was deeply moved
and told the Board that the past five
years as Supervisor of Beverly Pub
lie Schools had been the happiest and
mast contented years of his entire
life as schoolmaster, and that the
Cordial relationship and support Of
the Board had been most gratifying
to him.
Mrs. M. Fogarty also received the
full measure of praise to which she
is SO justly entitled after more than
40 years of service. In her depart
ment she was accorded the reputation
of being without a peer.
The enviable position and presitage
which the Bevely Public School now
, enjoys as one of the most efficiently
conducted schools in this part of the
State was recognized by the Board
to be largely due to the influence of
Professor Dilks, who has been able
to draw about him corp of teachers
"par excellante," including such re-
markably capable mentors as Mrs.
Fogarty, Miss Simpson and others.
Following this rather touching ac-
ton the attention of the Board was
called to other pressing and more
prosiac business.
A committee was appointed to ar
range for commencement exercises
which are to be held on the evening
of June 18th. A special program will
probably be prepared and the exer-
cises held in the new Bever-Lee
Theatre, where 700 persons can be
Accommodated.
Action was taken on the matter OF
erecting new school building and
Architect Hubert S. Stees was re-
quested to Immediately prepare plans
for a 4-room brick school house with
sail modern appointments. The loca-
ton Of this building has not been de-
finitely decided upon, although sew
eral very desirable sites have been
reported in by the committee as pro-
durable. From the well-known pun
tctuality and ability of the Boards
architect it is to be expected that a
very attractive and interesting plan
will be projected within the near fu-
sIture.
" The customary routine bills were
ordered paid and the Board then ad-
journed.

Trying to get every last mile
out of car is very much like
trying to wear an old suit Of
clothes until it is threadbare. 1t
seems to be economy but ] how
quickly you discover your mistake
when you acquire new article
of transportation or dress!
How costly it has really been
to use the old things. How soon
you are convinced that you were
sacrificing, not economizing.
There appears to be much TO
learn about the economical span
of a cars life. Much attention lis
given to the matter of purchase.
Car care comes in for considerable
thought. But the time to discard
an old car appears to be more or
less of a hit-or-miss proposition.
If 1t is necessary to purchase a
car Of certain grade in order to
keep up ones social standing, then
why isn't it equally necessary to
have a new car more frequently
than the average car owner?
IL economy of operation is such
an important consideration in Sc
lecting car, then why should this
point be overlooked when the ma.
chine grows old and unattractive?
If appearance is such deciding
factor when you visit the automo-
bile show and commence to form
opinions that are later crystalllzed
in your eventual spring selection
of a car, then why should this
point be overlooked entirely when
age overtakes the car?
There Is more to a new car than
mere newness. Usually it's a case
of getting back to an all-round

Largest Retail Sales Ever
Recorded in Plants
History

With the largest retail sales for
q single week in this season of the
year ever recorded in MAXWELL
Chrysler history, officials of the
company are convinced that their
two products are well started on
the way to a banner year.
The record week, ending Febru-
9ry 81, showed a gain in Maxwell
sales over the same week last year
OF 72.5 per cent, while the increase
over the proceeding week was AZ
per cent. Chrysler sales gained
more than As per cent over the week
ending February ID.
Although the views of business
prognosticators was that 1926 was to
be an excellent and perhaps record
year FOR the motor car. the gains
made by Maxwell Chrysler to date
are far above the automobile sales

the present upward trend win con-
tInue' possibly to new business
peaks.
Unforeseen factors may arise, hut
on the face of conditions as they
are at present, cannot see any
tning but a great year for American
business in general and for the
motor car industry in particular.
Inventories Are Low.
Contrast this with the low inven-
tories at practically every motor
car factory and the few cars on
hand in dealers stocks. The country
within a few weeks will be clalnor-
ing Tor more automobiles, but ex-
cessive caution, due to the bitter
memories OF the early months OF
1924 which failed to come up to
expectations, has dictated COM
paratively low output.
Three years and again two years
ago there was shortage of motor
cars and a tremendous wall went
up that we needed more cars. The
entire industry began to produce
automobiles at a feverish rate with.
out due regard for the actual de.
n1ands, with the result that today
the picture has been reversed.
Careful analysis shows that the
demand which at first blush seemed
50 vast, was in reality scarcely a
few per cent above the actual sup
ply:, during the past year. the sup.
ply was relatively the same per-
.centage above the demand, but by
no means was it of the proportions
to justify the cry of ''saturation
point, which has once again been
raised.
WHY'S Overland dealers during
1924 sold $4,000 more cars than
the factory produced during the
same period. This certainly cannot
be construed into an instance of
saturation.

Back in 1910 the possibility Of

be nothing else but a temporary

Word was received this week by
DR.. w. D. Adrian of this city that
the long wait for the issuance of a
patent on the instrument known as
the Neurocalometer, and leased by
the Doctor, has been issued by the
Patent Office at Washington.
This is good news for Iessees of
this instrument, because of the
widespread fight they have put up
for the past twenty months to pro-
tect their interests. When the in
strument was first announced as an
invaluable aid to chiropractors in
their work of examining patients.
DR.. w. d. Adrian Immediately pur-
chased lease emitting him to use
this instrument in his office.
Great Aid To Chiropractors
The Neurocalometer is heat
registering instrument that detects
pressure interferences on the nerves
emitting from the spinal column
With this instrument "a trained
technician knows where pressures
exist and as result all guesswork is
done away with. The patient can be
adjusted in the exact place where
tie pressure is located. Some re-
markable cases are recorded of relief
from very stubborn diseases, by the
Palmer School. Locally, Dr. Adrian
has been most successful in his
handling of many stubborn cases.
The Neurocalometer is leased for
period Of ten years TO those ch.ro-
practors who can qualify as tech

special course in Neurocalometer
Technique, and then demonstrate
ones ability to give readings and
properly adjust.
A travelling school is maintained
by The Palmer School of Chiroprac
tic, Davenport, Iowa, to ,technicians-
who know how to aid and instruct all
lessees. These travelling technicians
visit all lessees once every six or
seven months and check up on the
chiropractors who have leased the
Neurocalometer. No chiropractor
who has a Neurocalometer need ever
be in doubt as to what method to
pursue in handling every case that
comes to his office. If he should ever
be in doubt he can call upon the
Palmer School, or he may avail
himself of the services of the travel
ing technician.
