LOST IN BALTIMORE; FOUND AT
CANERNS

After all, the world is not so large,
and coincidence plays a big part in
every day happenings. Three auto
mobile parties travelling from Scran-
ton, Pa, to the Shenandoah Valley
became separated on the streets of
Baltimore. There was an all-day
search for he party lost, by the
other two. Then Washington was
combed and its traffic searched for
the missing auto.
On Sunday the searchers turned
southwark and when the road to
Shenandoah Caverns was reached,
after some little hesitation the ma
chimes were pointed toward the Val
ley's great caverns. Going through
the grounds they were hailed by a
happy party and the lost were found
The coincidence is, that the Scranton
cars did not have Shenandoah Cav
ems on the itinerary. and that the
entire party was of one mind when
the Caverns were reached.

LEARN TO SWIM

The people of Woodstock and
other towns near the rver, should
certainly take advantage of the OPP
portunity afforded them to learn to
swim this summer There are hun
dreds of good swimming places along
this stream that are ideal for the
beginner and equally as many aqua
tic folks who are willing to lend their
assistance as instructors.
Swimming is an accomplishment
that every one should have, for you
cannot tell at what time it may
serve you in good stead, either for
your own safety or for the safety of
others. Not only will it be of bene-
fit to you in this way, but it is rec
ognized as one of the most invig-
Grating exercises that can be taken 1t
develops the lungs, the chest, and in
fact every part of the body that needs
physical stimulation. SO resolve to-
day that you are going to swim, and
you will be lots happier

RELP OURSELVES FIRST

The constant plea of many of the
towns of the Valley, is for industries
of some kind. that employment may
be given their citizens. Legends are
connected with nearly every one OF
these places, relating how, some
great concern was just about ready
? to erect huge plant there, when I'M
fortunately somebody turned off the
water or something, and drove these
would-be benefactors away, to hunt
for location elsewhere. These leg
ends sound very interesting and nc
doubt are mighty pleasant to con,
verse on, but why feed on the prom
ises of others and wait for them to
build up your community when you
can do it yourselves? OF course, for
eign capital is not to be pushed aside
and should be encouraged to come
into our midst at every opportunity
But how can we expect outsiders to
become financially interested in
places where the inhabitants, know
ing the possibilities and latent re-
sources of their own country, are
afraid to risk little money in de-
veloping what they have. There is
enough home capital in any one of
the Valley towns to support a shirt
factory. cannery, a silk mill or any
thing else under the sun, but the
reason that most of them do not have
these industries is because of the lack
of cooperation on the part of the
people, and when this is said. the
heart of the whole matter is revealed.
If we continue to fight and discour-
age our fellow-man every time he
makes a success and talk down all
the proposed Improvements in our
community, We need never expect to
accomplish anything 1t is time that
we get rid of this cut-throat spirit
of me for me and you for you, and
turn around in our towns uniting
our efforts towards securing those
things, which we are uselessIy wait
ing for some one else to do for us.
Until this is done and we have shown
faith in our own possibilities, we need
never believe that capitalists from
New York, San Francisco or any
other place, are going to come down
here and hand US livelihood on a
platter.

MORE EVOLUTION

Now, Washington is to have an
evolution trial. That is, if the courts
of the District of Columbia will fur
nish the setting for another fiasco.
such as Tennessee has just finished,
and which, while it added to the mer-
riment of nations, also furnished food
for the feebleminded, messed up the
continuity of thought of morons, con
tributed to the conceit of scientists,
fixed firmer the faith of the funda-
mentalists, and played hell generally
in a world just getting back to
normally.
Every simian with intelligence
enough to crack a cocoanut, smiled
as news of the Dayton assembling
reached the jungles, and many pitied
themselves for mans arrogance in
claiming relationship during the
trial
Just to what extent the proceed
ings in Washington will go, is prob
lematical. Some learned Judge may
stop the monkey business in its in
cipiency and save us another orgy

Washington Opera Company
Tomorrow Night.

One OF the great dramas. as well as
one Of the most popular operas.
Gounod's Faust" will be presented
by Edouard Albion, general director
of the Washington Opera Company,
tomorrow night at S:15 in the new
Washington Civic Auditorium.
All the stars who will sing leading
roles are noted for unusual histrionio
ability. Feodor Chaliapin, great Rus
sian basso, who Will sing "Mephisto,"
is celebrated throughout the world
for his ability as an actor. Chaliapin
is the first great basso to achieve
such complete aScendency. The high
places heretofore have been accorded
tenorS and sopranos.
Ralph Errolle, who will sing the
title role, is an American, and is said
TO have in his acting a bit OF quiet
restraint that removes from his ges-
lures and expressions the exaggera-
ton that often marks the foreign
opera singer. His easy stage pres
ence and pleasing personality won
him applause when he appeared with
the Washington Opera Company last
season in Hoffman," and has also
aided him while with the MetropoH-
tan Opera Company.
Thalia Sabanieva, prima donna So
prano OF the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, will sing the role of Mar
guerite, who loved Faust to her sor-
row. The development of the charac-
ter from her simple innocence when
she first met Faust to her passionate
love. discovery, disgrace and final re-
demption, affords opportunity for
much dramatic work.
Ivan Ivantzoh, Russian baritone,
formerly OF the Paris Opera House,
but new TO America, will make his
initial bow to a Washington audience
as Valentine, the soldier brother of
Marguerite. He has a. reputation as
an actor as well as a fine vocal artist.
Rose Polio, a promising young
singer In Washington, Will sing the
contralto role of Siebel, the youth to
whose care Valentine commits his sis
ter when he leaves for war. Miss
Polio sang Mercedes in Carmen"
and other roles last year.
Albert Shefferman is another local
singer IN a smaller role. The ensem-
BILE has been specially trained with
attention to stage presence and act
ing as we'll as singing.
Entirely new scenery, suggested
and approved by Mr.. Chaliapin, and
special lights have been bought by
Mr.. Albion and will be used for the
