Bath Boys in School
Once in ShipyardS
Especial to Kennebec Journal)

(Speclal TO kennebec Journal
Bath, Me-, Feb. 5-A peculiar situI
alton was brought out Thursday by
a report of the Bath schools In re-
CARDS to the number of pupils at
tending public schools in this city
today and during the war.
When Bath was booming and the
population nearly doubled by the
Texas Yard and Bath Iron Works
employing thousands of men. to build
transports, this city was a mecca of
wealth and prosperity. A striking
fact was disclosed today, that the
number of school students in the
city compared favorably with the
number during the war.
That is, 1875 students are enrolled
in Baths public schools, constitut-
ing the largest for years and con-
trasting greatly the general trend of
business in the shipping city. 1t was
generally known that during the in
fluence of the government yards in
this city, hundreds of boys who
should have been in school were
working in the yards.

New England Rag Dolls.

From the Antiquarian Magazine.
Old rag dolls were treasured heir
looms of many New England homes.
OF all sizes. and attired in many sorts
of quaint costumes, they had some
points in common. Their faces were
invariably fiat. their hands were stiff
and rigid their toes turned out in
most alarming manner. Sometimes
they had black button eyes: frequently
their prim faces were painted with
beet and fruit juices: occasionally eyes,
nose and mouth were embroidered.
For hair they wore toupees of yarn
or hemp or wisps of real hair. Their
garments were fullskirted gowns of
sprigged muslins or prints and they
OFTEN wore sunbonnets Of the same
materials as their dresses. In one
New Hampshire family still lives an
old rag doll who for over 80 years has
plea sed it's daughters. True, she has
become somewhat the worse for wear,
but her blemished features have been
renewed by the simple eXpedient of re-
covering her lace with piece of fresh
cloth.

YOUNG AND OLD GET
THRILL AT CIRCUS

New Features.

The youngsters of Washington, and
perhaps not q few oldsters, too, are
once again all agog with excitement.
Circus days have come with Spring,
bringing to the Capital new thrills for
neophytes and old thrills for the
initiated.
The Johnny j. Jones Exposition,
boasting more elaborate entertainment
and higher quality of amusement than
ever before, arrived at Fifteenth and
II streets northeast this week with
much hustle and has become the
mecca Of the youth of the town.
Many new tricks have been added
and all live up to the Jones reputation
for cleanliness, show officials declare
Among new features are riding de-
vices and fun houses, six of which
have been patented by the Jones
outfit.
The French and Belgian midgets
and the we'll known Fat Family are
back again, together with a great
ensemble Of cowboys and cowgirls and
choruses of bathing beauties. One OF
the most sensational acts is that of
Cleo Huffman who dives 100 feet into
a tank of water while her clothes are
afiame. A 12-year-old miss does 40
foot diving act. There are also animal
acts galore.
The Jones Exposition will be in
