tions for Play.-Girl Scouts En-
terrain Assistant Battermak-
er Goes to Wisconsin.

The seniors have selected as their
class play, "a Full House" 1t is a
farcical comedy in three acts. This
newest and funniest of comedies was
written by Fred jackson, the well
known short story writer. AS there
are thirty weight members in the senior
class and also a great deal of talent,
there has been some difficulty in
choosing the characters. They have
been under the ordeal of trying OUT
for the past two weeks. There are a
few of the characters yet to be chosen,
but with the selection of these, the
cast expects to work hard for the
next three weeks, and have it ready
to present on Friday evening, April
20. With Miss Mccarthy as coach
the seniors are sure this play is going
to be one of the best ever presented
to Sandstone audience.
The Girl Scout program which was
given Friday evening, was very well
attended. The. proceeds amounted to
about $40. This is the first program
the scouts have put on, and from all
results the people of Sandstone seem
to be very interested in this organiza-
ton. Miss Collett should be congratu-
lated on her splendid ability to direct
such number of girls. The program
was given as follows: Her Uncle's
Boots, high school scouts; Grandmoth-
ers Rose Jar, seventh grade scouts;
n ri nd Of No

leen Walker; song and minuet, sixth

program a delicious luncheon was
served in the home economics rooms.

fined $50 and costs and given a sus-
pended Jail sentence of six months,
on the charge of assaulting a five
year old boy. in police court this
morning At tho time of the arrest
the charge was indecent assault, but
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
Greenstcin told Judge Hungerford
the only witness was the boy. and
the police have been unable to obtain
an intelligent statement OF the as
saut, Jrbanski denied the charge.
Mr.. Grcenstoin said, and it was de-
cided to nolle it and substitute the
less serious one to which urbanski
through Attorney Irving I. Rachlin,
pleaded nolo contonderc.
Judge Hungertord accepted the
recommendation Of Mr.. Greenstein
remarking, however, that he believes
Urbanski guilty of tho original
charge. He agreed that 1t would be
difficult to prove it, in view of the
absence Of witnesses. He noted that
urbanski was convicted in the local
court on the charge OF improper
conduct some time ago. Attorney
Kachln remarked that there is a
wide difference between that charge
and one Of indecent assault, but
JUDGE HunGerford replied that the

China FOR Chinese
IS Big issue NOW
Educator From Orient Explains
War to South Church Women

China Is in the tnroes OF war
fare, between the northern and
southern factions, 10 see which will
win supremacy. The alibi for fight
ing each case is to abolish extra
territorial rights and create a China
for the Chinese" This is the eX-
plantation given of the situation in
China by Miss Katharine c. GriGgs
a. tea given in her honor at the
South Congregational church yester-
day by the Young Woman's auX-
Hilary. Miss GrsA is executive
secretary for Women Of Lingnan
university in Canton. China. she
said the president Of the university
is Chinese as are the majority of the
board OF directors. The growing
tendency in educational institutions
is TO have the leaders from among
their own people.
The radicals and bolsheyists IN
China are interfering now because
they find it is 4 good time to inter-
fcre when north and south are fight
ing each other. This Russian propa-
ganda may be Of untold significance.
There is great anti-foreign feel
ing in certain sections but the In
tense hatred is not universal. 1t
is not to be wondered at when so
many OF the foreigners assume
superiority.
Miss Griggs' opinion on the Tong
warfare here in America is that
there is no connection with the
China situation as the motives here
are not the motives there, for fight
ing. She felt that the shelling OF
Marking was q tremendous catas-
trophe. Bloodshed is Just what the
radicals want and 1t is Just what
should not have happened If an ear
~ peaceful outcome is to come out
Of all this chaos.
