CENTER STORE ENTERED

Some time Wednesday night thieves
entered the J. II. Rodda store at Cen
ter and robbed the register OF few
dollars. Entry was made thru the base
ment, as footprints under the window
plainly showed. but aside from this no
other evidence has been discovered.
Mr.. Rodda is congratulating himself
on the fact that the register had been
emptied OF the days receipts early in
the evening. and only the small a
mount from late trade was left TO re-
ward the msrauders for their efforts.
It is altogether likely that a small
amount Of merchandise ves taken, but

ISLAND FLOWERS ON DISPLAY AT
THE CAPITOL

On last Thursday, the Young Mems
Republican Club of Seattle celebrated
the seventy-fifth birthday of the Re
publican party. At their banquet were
prominent men from all parts Of the
state among them our lieutenant
governor, John Gallatley to whom was.
presented a beautiful bouquet OF
Royals grown on Vashon Island by
Mrs. Alex Stewart. In accepting them
MIR. Gellatley said that while he had
known of Vashon Island for long
time he had never supposed that the
Island produced anything to equal the
beauty of these flowers, and that III
the near future he would visit the Is
land and see for himself whether all
else was correspondingly lovely.
The flowers were taken to Olympia
and put on display at the Capitol
where many more, through this medi-
um, have learned a little of what we
produce.
Mrs. Stewart is recognized in this
part OF the state, particularly, (al-
though her work is also gaining recog-
milton through various authorities who
come to visit our lily farms) as one
who is making marked success of the
business by combining intelligence and
fund of valuable information with
sincere love of flowers. Those who
know of her hours of untiring labor
can testify to the fact that she must
love her flowers, else she would long
ago have turned to easier work, for
which she is amply qualified Her
zeal has made the Stewart home one
of the show places of the Island, and
although the community recognizes Mr..
Stewart as an authority on law and
golf. it is Mrs. Stewart who can give
any information desired on the sub
ject of flower culture.

FORMER ISLANDER CONTRIBUTES
FLOWERS FOR SHOW

Many OF those who visited the lily
show were charmed by the large display
OF water lilies, a comparatively new
venture in lily culture for the novice
Unfortunately the card placed beside
the largest display OF water lilies was
in some way moved, and those who en-
ioyed seeing them did not know that
they we're the contribution Of a former
Islander. Mr. Byers, vino some twenty
years ago lived on the place west of
Vashon. now owned By AR Hulsether
Mr.. Byers has Developed a wonderful
water lily farm on Hailer Lake. and IS

GREAT PLAY PART OF OLD HOME
LIFE

From an acting part in the century
old Passion Play Of Ober- -Ammergau to
exactly the same role In the all
English production presented in Sc
attic this month will be the lot of just
one man out of thousand or more
taking part in the great spectacle.
That man will be Paul Wacker,
German-born Seattle engineer. who in
his youth played the role Of a Roman
Soldier in his Bavarian homeland
where the great play has been pre-
sented for -Four centuries.
MIR. Wackels connection with the
original play came out when he enter
ed the downtown office of the AS
sociated Students, at 1907 Fourth
Avenue, seeking a role in the Seattle
production. I
In Ober-Ammergau the play is the
life of my people. he said. II took
part in the first play presented there
following the War, and when / heard
that the play was to be given here
had to come down and offer my SER
vices. In the Old World we are raised
to take parts in the Play, 1t is our life.
1t is the greatest play in the world
none compare with it in meaning, or
spirituality.
Il am glad we in Seattle are to have
a chance to see 1t. This Is beautiful
setting for it. The people here will
appreciate it. Its wonderful,
That the Seattle production of the
Passion Play will be entirely in English,
Mr.. Wacker declares will be an i'm
provement of the spectacle for an
American audience.
your fidelity to our centuries old
German text, and use of Old Testa-
ment excerpts, will give the play here
a tone and dignity highly comparable
to that at Ober- -Ammagau. And you are
wise to limit the early tableaux so that
the play lasts only two and one-half
hours. In my town 1t lasts for eight
and that is too long for an American
audience"
One Of the first things Mr.. Wacker
asked to see after he was assigned to
his role by Mrs. w. H. Lyons. resident
cast director, was the costumes used
here. He pronounced them equal to
those that in the German homeland
of the play, are the treasured posses
sion of one family from generation to
generation.
The beautiful music settings ac-
companying the all-English production
will aid In its solempity and impress
siveness, Mr.. Wacker believes. Among
the chorus numbers to be sung at each
performance here, are the mighty
Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah
by Handel; Bach Chorla; the Ave
verum Of Mozart and the March to
Calvary by Goun6d.
Persons still desiring to take part In
the production are urged to sign-up
with Mrs. Lyons Immediately, as the
remaining roles are being filled rapid
ly. Chorus rehearsals have been going
on regularly for the past three weeks
and will continue under local super
vision until the arrival during the week
OF July 81 of the Eastern directors
and actors. 1t was announced by Mrs.
Lyons.

BACK HOME
BY A, ). Dunlap

Back Home Is wonderful country,
Where somehow the valleys and streams
Are tangled with friendships and faces
That live in our fancies and dreams
Back Home is the country of childhood
Where life opened wide like scroll,
Where hope and ambition awakened,
And flowers blooned first in the soul
Though new friends and scenes may absorb us,
New countries invite us to roam
There always will linger O. longing
To visit the old friends, back home

CHRISTMAS red, in contrast with
~ the lily-white of Easter, the
fodder gold Of Thanksgiving, the yell
low-black of Halloween, and so on,
naturally, makes the most colorful
holiday of the year. Every memory
of Christmas comes back to us tied
in red ribbon or lighted with red
candles, or spread out on a table dec
Grated with holly berries. The color,
somehow, stands for love and laughter
and fiamboyant youth, as we'll as for
the flag of anarchy and the blood OF
war And Christmas is such human
feast day, made so expressly for peace
and men of good will, and for little
in a way-that so far as earth-joy
goes. the holy day would lose its place
as a holiday if it wasn't for the
merry helps of holly, candle and
ribbon, assisted by the greens of
wreath and garland-allowing a share,
of course, to strings of shiny silver
and gilt.
There are, likewise, other reds that
enliven the Yuletide, each a happy
spot in St1e making of the happy whole.
A splash Is scarlet was made one day
in the holidays-maybe for other days,
as well-that fSirly lit u the vicinity
of the Peace Monument just where
some workmen had been digging holes.
It was a red coat A high-class
tailor might have had his little laugh
at the cut of it, but there was no
criticism among the passing crowds,
either walking, motoring or going by
in street cars, as the wearer of the
dazzling garment stood by to warn
traffic of danger. And everybody
smiled with the spontaneousness that
only shows up when good nature is
on tap-what you might call the
Merry Christmas" grin.
Instead of the usual red flag the
switchtender sported his red coat, and,
though it's fiamboyancy may have re-

With the turn into the new year, the
United States Naval Reserve Battalion
of the District of Columbia, command
ed by Lieut.. Comdr. Finney Bascom
Smith, is already directing its atten-
tions to the preparations for the annual
inspections to be held under the eyes
of a special board of regular officers
from the Navy Department and to the
annual cruises this Summer.
An intensive training schedule has
been laid down under the direction OF
Lieut.. Comdr. Harry j. Nichols, execu-
tive officer, which the men and divi-
sional officers will be kept strictly to,
both for the purpose of getting high
mark at the annual inspection and for
receiving top marks on the annual
cruises.
One of the features which is to be
pressed in the training this year is the
assignment of men each week to the
indoor rifle range at the armory which
will be used to the utmost for the pur-
pose of developing a group of high
class gun pointers and trainers. 1t is
the desire of both the headquarters and
the divisional officers that the gun
crews of the local battalion make very
high scores with the big guns when
they are on the annual cruises this

year, so that they may come out on the
top of the list.
The fact that the United States de-
stroyer Abel P. UpShur, training ship
OF the local battalion, has been here
nearly year, and practically all men,
berS OF the battalion have made a sea
cruise aboard her, means that they will
be more familiar with their vessel
when the inspection board makes its
appearance. Each drill night that the
! weather permits the men are to be
taken aboard the vessel and drilled, so
that each of them will know his sta
ton, and can go promptly to it when
emergency drills are called for by the
inspection board. The lack of vessel
last year for training seriously handi-
capped the training of the local reServ-
lists, and pulled down their figure of
merit because they were unfamiliar
with the ship which had been here only
week or two when the last inspection
board put the battalion members
through their PAGES.
The examination board is nearly fin
ished with its arduouS task of individ-
ually examining each man ordered up
for promotion, and 1t is expected that
within few weeks the successful can
didates will be displaying new rating
badges on their arms, or "crows" as
they are termed in the service. When
this group is completed the board will
have nothing to do until after the
coming Summer cruises, at which time
it is expected that more men will be
recommended for promotion as a re-
suit of their display of seamanship and
engineering training.
The school system Is just getting in
full swing, and after a short general
drill each night, the divisional officers
are divided up into class groups, each
under an officer specialist. Comdrs.
Smith and Nichols have mapped out
scheme of instruction which provides
progressive instruction, and is intended
to keep up the interest of the men by
making 1t unnecessary for any man to
go through the same subject twice, I'M
less, of course. he fails in the examina-
ton given in each class at the compile
ton of particular phase of the study.
This taking away the monotonous
routine, according to the officers, is
helping materially in keeping up the
interest of the men and of increasing
the attendance average, which fell off
somewhat following the annual cruises.
However, it was shown to have picked
up almost simultaneously with the re-
establishment Of the school system, and
