PHONE FIRM DROPS
SECOND COUNTY PLAN
Takoma Park. Bethesda and Other
Communities Opposed to
Service Proposal.

The second plan of the Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone Co. for improving
telephone service In Montgomery County
adjacent to Washington has been
abandoned by the company because OF
the opposition to the plan in Takoma
Park. Bethesda and several other
suburban communities.
The announcement was made at pub
lie hearing of the legislation and lega!
action committee OF the Montgomery
County Civic Federation at Bethesda
School house last night in letter from
the telephone company.
The first plan was withdrawn about
two months ago after it was strongly
opposed by citizens. Then the second
plan was submitted. 1t was stated today
by officials of the company that a third
plan would be prepared in the hope that
1t would meet with approval
The two objections to the second plan
were the 20 per cent increase in rates
and the fact that that section OF Be-
thesda. including the communities OF
Edgemoor. Battery Park, Woodmont
and much of the business section. was
not included in the Washington Metro
politan base rate area. Takoma Park
and communities in Chevy Chase. in
cluding Somerset. Friendship Heights
and Drummond objected to the rarc
increase. while the Bethesda Chambe,
of Commerce and citizens Of that sec
ton objected to ending the Metro
politan service at the b g. O. Railroad
tracks
The committee al last nights meet
ing heard arguments in favor of the
extension OF the service north OF tracks
and entered into a general discussion
OF the telephone situation. j. Bono
Smith. chairman OF the committee, will
call a meeting at later date to act
on the information obtained last night
and to prepare recommendations tc
submit TO the telephone company to aid
it in the preparation OF another plan.

We have heard much about the
Westminster Choir of Dayton,
Ohio.
Last night this organization APP
peared at the Murat on the same
program with the Cincinnati
Symphony Orchestra.
In addition to its on numbers,
the choir aided the orchestra il
Dvorak's symphony No. 5, E minor"
from The New World Symphony"
The choir sang of stage while the
lights were turned off on the stage
The orchestra looked like a big
shadow as the choir sang. ThelI
the orchestra picked up the move
ment, making one of the most
unique events of the season.
This symphony has the modern
syncopated rhythm and is typically
American. Fritz Reiner, conductor,
brought out all the effects of this
symphony which has caused it to
be so popular. Never has the brass
section of this orchestra been better
In addition to this symphony, the
orchestra was heard only in Bach's
"Toccata and Fugue, C MajSr."
The rest of the program was de-
voted to the choir under the lead
erShip of John Finley Williamson.

Choir Receives Great OUatiOn

After hearing this choir, it is easy
to understand why this organiza-
ton is being taken to Europe for a
tour soon.
Williamson is able to get both
exquisite pipe organ and symphony
effects from his singers. With the
greatest ease, this man causes any
group of voices to function, both as
individuals and as an ensemble.
Those who have studied chorus
singing expressed themselves last
night that this choir is one of the
leaders in this country. The work
of this organization last night was a
r-velation. The audience gave these
singers one of the finest and big
gest ovations of the season.
All of the numbers of the choir
were OF a religious nature, such as
"Crucifxus," Sing Ye to the Lord, "
God Is a Spirit" and "Alleluia.
Christ Is Risen
The choir was booked earlier
in the season and it was decided to
permit the choir to share part Of
the time of the Cincinnati Sym
phony.
Personally, I should have liked to
have had the orchestra play more.
This concert closes the orchestral
season of Ona B. Talbot.

Ckatrand as the main character.
John Halliday is not only a very
good actor, but a good magician as
well. Paul Nugent has the part of
Alexander, and while he has a diff
f1cult role, is mighty good.
The manager and the captain of
the police were both excellent. The
part of the manager perhaps more
true to life. The captain of the po-
lice, played by Thomas Findlay, was
done in a very good manner Will
liam E. Morris had the manager
character C. c. Wilson was the
doctor criminal.
Two comedy characters were en-
tered into the play now and then.
One was Mrs. Wimbledon in the
audience, who wanted to go home
and take care of her child and the
other the sergeant of police. The
first was played by Pricilla Knowles
and the sergeant by John Morrissey.
The girl was taken by Eleanor Grit
fifth.
This play is one of the freak va
riety. 1t is fast, has comedy, melo-
drama, and mystery. 1t doesn't lag
and up to the last minute the
suspense is kept high. THE Spider
is good in it's class.

Oklahoma Lady Gives Inter-

Use of Thedford's
Black-Draught in
Her Home.

IT have taken Black-Draught
ever since was a child, and can
recommend it as a splendid
medicine for family use," say Mrs.
Cora Maberry of Sageeyah, Okla.
MY mother used it, in bringing up
her family, and after i had a home
of my own, I continued to use it,
as I thought it was especially good
to give to children.
MY children did not mind taking
Black-Draught, and so when they
got upset with stomach spells, or
were constipated, 1 gave them
Black-Draught tea.
IF I found that they we're taking
cold, I was quick to start giving
them Black-Draught, as it helped
them to throw off the impurities
which caused the trouble.
my children are all grown now
and have homes of their own, but I
still keep Black-Draught in the
house and use it myself when 1
wake up in the morning telling dull
and 'headachey,' and have u bad
taste in my mouth.
"Black-Draught is a simple
remedy for constipation, and I pre-
fer it to others because it is purely
vegetable. I always feel better after
I have taken a course of it."
Black-Draught has been in sue
cessful use for 81 years.

fetal to that most abused organ
the stomach.
Among the latest to indorse this
medicine to the public is Mr.. H. G.
Gentry, TIA East New York ST., In
dianapolis, who gave the following
report to the Konjola Man at Hooks
Drug Store, Illinois and Washington
Sts., this city, who is personally
meeting the public and explaining
KonjoIa to large crowds every day.
The statement of Mr.. Gentry reads
as follows:
''I am glad of this opportunity to
testify as to the merits of Konjola.
After trying all kinds of remedies,
which failed to give me even tenn
porary relief, I feel it is my duty to
say word for the medicine which
restored me to health.
my trouble was caused mostly
from the condition of my stomach.
I suffered untold agony after eat
ing my meals, as my food did not
digest and a hard rock would seem
10 form in the pit of my stomach.
I was forced to go on special diet
for several months. My appetite
became very pcor and at times
would have to force myself to eat.
after doctoring for a long time
without results, L began to look
around for something else which
NnrIN fNIa
suggested to me by a friend and ]
started taking it. 1t gradually be-
gan to relieve me, altho it worked
very slowly. I realized that my
condition was of long standing and
therefore decided to give this medi-
cine fair trial. I have now taken
several bottles and can truthfully
say that am eating most anything
and do not suffer afterward. The
diets, which formerly used, are a
thing of the past. Gas does not
form any more and I never bloat
up like used to. The heavy feeling
has entirely disappeared, my ap-
petite is wonderfully improved and
I am no longer short of breath. II
has made a new man of me and
certainly recommend it to my
friends"
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
Drug Store, Illinois and Washing
ton Sts., Indianapolis, where he is
daily meeting the public and intro
ducing and explaining the merits OF
this remedy.-Advertisement.

Bonnie, the Wop," I think is
the name of the leading comedian.
Part of his work is il dialect and
he gets some good things in twist

The dances are fair and the songs
are poppy. There is also a good

delegates sympathetic to her cause.
It was understood that Mrs.

Mich; Mrs. George Washington
Patterson. Ann Arbor, Mich, and
Miss Eleanor Roy, Fl Scott, Kan,
would introduce a resolution sup
porting Mrs. Bailie's stand some
time during the congress.
The resolution would reserve to
individual chapters and to the an

the society's policy toward matters
of national Importance such as ma

that individual chapters use their
own discretion henceforth in Sc
Letting speakers for their meetings

not bring condemnation from the

attempts to discredit the cause Of

by plain words from the national
officers.

Mrs. Bailie is in Washington, but
D. A. r. officers said she has not
been given any authorization to at
tend meeting of the congress. III
