1926 Summer Training Camps

Rivalling the hectic Liberty Loan
drives of IT and '18, a nationwide,
education campaign, touching every
county in the United States, has been
launched by the Military Training
Camps association to interest the
youth of the country and their par
ents in the Governments summer
program for the 1926 Citizens Mill
tary Training Camps.
Already patriotic citizens of local
prominence in more than ninety per
cent of the three thousand counties of
the United States have volunteered to
act as active chairmen of county COM
mittees now forming in their local
titles, an announcement by the Asso-
citation said.
With more summer camps planned
this year than ever before, this huge
organization will be utilized by the
Government to enroll thirty-five
Thousand candidates for the camps by
June 1. The candidates are to come
from school, factory, or farm and rep
resent each community's choicest
manhood.

Tuesday and Wednesday-"No type
of drama affords the wide range of
acting that melodrama Offers" says
Matt Moore, who appears opposite
Mae Busch in Tod Browning's 'The
Unholy Three" a crook drama. "The
public demands thrills. 1t gets them
in melOdrama. 1t wants real sus-
pense and no other brand of drama
tics is so filled with thrills and hu-
man interest as the crook play that
borders on two worlds in which we
live. Picture goers have demanded
and received many new types of
drama but it has never let go its in
tereSt in melOdrama. l believe that
class of picture will sustain a longer
run than any other because everybody
is an adventurer at heart no matter
in how drab an actual world he may
exist. A story of crooks is story of
human interest and nothing in a mod
ern motion picture draws better than
human interest. Other types of plays
are what might be termed as "class
plays because they appeal to a GER
tain type of fan. Melodrama appeals
to everybody because it has elements
of all other dramas combined. There
is comedy, tragedy and a fine oppor-
tunity for all grades and degrees of
acting. Other members of 'The I'm
holy Three" cast are: Lon CLANCY
MaeBush, Victor McLaglen, Harry
Earles and Mathew Betz.

Screen and Stage
Strand, Smyrna

Thursday-Clothes, clothes, clothes.
The wall of all women be they rich or
poor. Windows full of clothes to at
tract them; advertisements of the
most appealing sort to intrigue them
because for generations that has been
the thing to which they have been
most susceptible. There are women
who starve their very soults-for
clothes. There are others who go
hungry to satisfy their appetite for
clothes. "a Slave of Fashion" is in
line with this most feminine of all
yearnings. 1t is from an original
story written by Samuel Shipman,
adapted and made into continuity by
Bess Meredyth. Norm& Shearer is
the star of the production while Lew
Cody is featured.
Saturday-Reginald Denny in "Cal-
ifornia Straight Ahead" He's here!
the most brilliant comedian of them
all, in a mad melange of merriment
that will rock you with laughter!
He'll furnish you with the craziest,
most thrilling evening you've had in
a blue moon. A real full meal OF
hearty glee!
Monday and Tuesday-Seldom does
a picture create such widespread in
terest as has "The Merry Widow.
But it was inevitable with such G
magnificent combination of story, di
rector and cast. The title suggests
picturesque romance, and in the hands
of the gifted director, Erich Won Stro
helm ideally suited to stage such b;
thing, the production has exceeded
the fondest expectations held for it
The title role, in which Miss Murra,
is featured, furnishes this piquant ac
tress with the best role of her career
and that she gives 'The Merry Wild
Ow" the charm and vivacity it need
goes without saying. John Gilbert
one of the most popular men on tn
screen today invests the part o
prince Danilo" with a briliance an
dash which has come to be associate
with this actor.

In Alright Bags

Observations were made at the Ma
tional Academy Of Sciences in Wash
lngton recently on five subjects (three
men and two wOmen) placed in an air
tight bag through which a stream of
heated, dry air (abOut S5 degrees cent?
grade) was passed. Loss of weight
was five to thirteen times greater than
normal, oxygen consumption increased
slightly, while skin temperature was
fairly uniform and only one degree
or so above normal, owing to the cool
ing effect of perspiration.

Cofee's "DiscoVery''

There are many stories as to who
first discovered the food value of
coffee In Europe this important dis
covery is usually accredited to the
inmates Of an old monastery in Arabia
who had observed that their goats
after browsing upon the coffee berries
were decidedly lively. They decided
to taste the berries to see if they, too
would be similarly affected. First
they chewed the berries but were dis
appointed in the taste. Then they
boiled them but without success. Then
they tried roasting them and found
this gave a delightful flavor. Later a
monk brewed a stimulating drink by
pounding the roasted berries in a
mortar.

Sugar From DahIias

A new dahlia and artichOke indus
try promises new life for domestic
sugar manufacturers, according to Sci
ence. At present huge beet-sugar
plants are lying idle two-thirds OF
the year for lack Of raw material. 1t
is now expected that after producing
beet sugar in the summer the plants
will run four months on artichOke, fol-
lowed by four months on dahlia tubers
to produce large quantities Of the new
levulOse sugar. At present levulose
is prepared only as a sirup or moist,
powder-like brown sugar, but the prob
lens of crystallizatiOn are rapidly be-
ing solved commercially.

Modesty

The parents had been trying for
some time to impress a sense Of
mOdesty on fOur-year-Old Betty The
following incident caused them to feel
that their efforts had not been wholly
IN vain.
Betty was seated on the floor, play
ing with "dress up" paper dolls, when
her grOwnup cousin breezed in. She
started toward the child and was pre-
pared to exclaim over the dolls, when
she was halted by a frown Of disap-
proval. Don't look" scolded the
youngster. Cant you see they're
dressing"

Rran Valuable Food

Bran, the dark, fibrous portion of
wheat, is less completely digested than
the rest of the kernel. AS bran Is
sold commercially 1t has some food
value from the starch as well as from
the minerals and vitamins associated
with the fibrOus parts, but 1t is used
chiefly for ifs laxative properties. In
moderate quantities, and especially as
It comes sround up in graham flour,
1t is usually considered to be de-
sirable addition to the diet

Social Service chaiFmen from a number
Of clubs Of the Federation Of Women's
Clubs met at the Montgomery Country
Club, Rockville. on Friday. September Gath.
az guests Of Mrs. J. Darby Bowman.
Miss Irma E. Mohr. executive secretary
of the Social Service League. told Of the
large volume Of work which the league is
handling. and the need for volunteer ser
vice from the women OF the county to
carry on it's program more effectively. As
a part Of it's work in the treatment Of
health problems. the league transports be-
tween so and 40 patients each month TO
various State clinics held in the county
and to hospital clinics in Washington.
I'VE need women In each part Of the
county to volunteer for such service in
order that our staff may be released for
other work and the league saved the heavy
expense Of transportation. said Mis-, Mohr.
Other services which the club women can
render we're outlined. including sewing for
the children under the care Of the league
and friendly visiting TO the sick and the
aged.
Plans were discussed for Christmas Civ
ing. and it was urged that clubs and
churches consider the giving of practical
and lasting gifts that would extend the
spirit Of Christmas throughout the year for
the less fortunate Of the community. The
league later will send list Of oppouuni-
ties to the various clubs and churches
telling of concrete needs among the fami-
lies and children under care which may
I've met at Christmas time.

Step To Compel Sale OF c. & D.
Canal Taken.

The first move to force the sale OF the
famous old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
stretching from Cumberland to Georgetown
and built under the direction of George
Washington, was begun at Hagerstown
last Saturday when bill in equity was
filed in the circuit court for Washington
county by VIM. C. Devecmon and Elmer j.
Carter. of Baltimore, and F. Brooke Whiting,
of Cumberland. attorneys. asking that the
entire canal be sold in order to pay an old
judgment Of about $4,000 to William T.
COulehan, a Cumberland merchant. The
bill alleges that debts totaline $1,000
were contracted by the canal company
several years ago for feed and supplies for
canal mules.
The bill also asks that substitute trus-
tees be named by the court in place of
Lloyd Lowndes. Richard d. johnson and
Joseph Baker. all deceased.
1t is further alleged that the canal is not
operating and therefore not making money.
The court has passed an order directing
that all parties concerned with the canal
answer the petition and show cause why
the canal should not he sold.
