"MERCENARY MARY"
Musical Comedy We'll Staged But Tai
 ent Notie.biy Lacking

Jt was not large audience that greeted the musical comedy, "Meree- nary Mary" at the Bradley theatre, last Friday night. However, those present appeared to enjoy the unfold ing of she light plot around which & number of catchy songs and still more dances were woven in the usual musi- cal comedy, with its principals. chorus, ct al, style.
 The offering was certainly good one and the music was catchy. The company. however, was only mediocre. Not a trained voice was noticeable. To carry the solo numbers through. minus the necessary attribute of voic- es, oyerworked falsetto and caused q sort of musical monologue effect in many instances.
 There was plenty of pep and snap put into their efforts by each indi- vidual member of the cast but this hardly made up for the fact that the singers were mediocre minus and the dancers mediocre plus. The company worked hard to please and is enthusi. asm was appreciated, but to deliver something that was not pc=sessed wa impossible.
 The stage settings and the costum, ing were most excellent. The mem. bers of the cast were pleasing 10 the

POPPING OF CORN CAUSED
 BY MOISTURE IN KERNEL

The reason for the popping of pop corn is that 1t contains moisture, says Scientific American" in answer to an inquiry. When the corn is heated over the fire this moisture is turned into steam. Owing to the fact that the kernel of the corn is surround cd by a hard. dense shell this steam cannot escape Therefore. the pres sure rises, and when this pressure more than equals the strength of the corn it literally explodes. As a check on this phenomenon. if you will try to pop some corn which has been slowly dried you will find it does not pop
 Referring to the physical changes the cells of the kernel containing mois- ture simply explode.
 The pufTing of rice and wheat IS done according to the Anderson pa tents. The moist grain is heated to a high temperature under pressure ; this pressure is then suddenly releas- ed. The result is sudden explosion of the steam and gas inside the grains. The nutrition division of the Department of Agriculture has made numerous tests regarding the digesti- bility of puffed or popped eorns.

NASH SHOWS sses INCREASE

The Nash Motors Company, in clos ing their books for September, report a volume of business greater by s3Te than that of September, 1924.
 "The past month" says E. H Me Carty. general sales manager, was the thirteenth consecutive month to show a substantially material gain over the corresponding period of the previous year.
 'sThe number of cars shipped in September was i0,3i4. This is but 36l cars less than the August total of l0.675-and August rolled up the biggest monthly volume in all Nash history. September. however, hay ing one less working day than Aug ust, actually established itself as the period of greatest daily production since our company was founded.
 During August and September there were produced and sold 2O,sss Nash cars. This constituted over 39es of our entire business for the year 1924"

FIRE DRILLS HAD
 IN ALL SCHOOLS
St. Mary's Pupils Evidence Careful Training By Re
 spending Quickly
Fire Chief Satisfied With Showing
 Made

The semi-annual fire drill was had in all of the schools of Putnam. Tues day. Fire Chief Thurston, aceompani- ed by Mayor Chapdelaine and A. New ton Vaughn. went from school house to school house and timed the pupils in making exit after the fire alarm bell sounded
 Chief Thurston said afterward that the drills were entirely satisfactory and should there be fire in any school house in the city the building would be emptied in short order He especi- ally mentioned the children in St. Mary's school where. as soon as he put his finger on the button that rings the alarm. he could hear chairs seraping as the pupils backed from their desks preparatory to leaving. The time made at the various schools Tuesday and those made last May follow:
 Putnam High school. 5l seconds May 5i seconds.
 Smith Street school, S2 seconds May 3i seconds.
 Israel Putnam school. 2 minutes May min. % sec
 St. Mary's, old building, 4i seconds May 36 seconds.
 St. Mary's. new building. 1 min, 50 sec. May 1 min, B seconds.
 Trade school, 54 seconds; not taken in May.
 The reason for the longer time con- sumed al the Israel Putnam school is due to a much greater number of children on the second floor of the building than last May.

 The show carries it's own synco- pated orchestra. Whether this form of jazz music is an improvement over the more musical stringed and brass instruments we have been used to, is questionable. At times 1t was difii- cult to get the human voice from the stage past and through the harsh notes coming from the orchestra pit and before one had listened for . full hour and half to the din 1t was only with effort that one could keep fingers from ears.

REBUILT
Alexandria Fertilizer Company
Properties Covered by
insurance

A crew of workmen are today
clearing away the ruins OF the
Bryant Fertilizer Company, on
North Fairfax street, Alexandra,
Va, following yesterdays $4,000
fire and taking steps to rebuild
the plant. Arthur H. Bryant, If
the Alexandra city council, owner
of the plant said today there will
be no interruption to business.
In addition to the plant, sever al
thousand tons of fertilizer in stock
at the height of the fertilizer seas
on was lost. The total loss was
said to have been covered by in.
surance. The fire is believed to
have been started by lightning
about midnight and to have smoid-
cred until about 5 o'clock Sunday
morning when the whole plant
burst into flames.
More than 100 volunteer firemen
under the direction Of Fire Chief
J. M. Duncan, jr., worked until l
o'clock yesterday afternoon on the
smouldering debris. Hundreds Of
persons motored to the fire and re-
manned around the blaze until II
had completely died down.
The blaze could be seen for miles
around and three streams were
poured on the burning structure,
the water being pumped from the
river. The fumes Of acid and the
burning fertilizer kept the firemen
at a safe distance.
