Plan Pageant
At State Fair
Outdoor Drama, "Washington
Lives" to be Given Each
Night of Fair BY Cast
Of 1900

Indications are that practically ev-
cry county in Ohio will take part in
the mammoth outdoor drama, "Wash-
ineton Lives!" which is to be pre-
sented each night at the Ohio State
Fair, August % to September 3, ac-
cording to Chas. NJ. Beer, assistant di
rector Of agriculture and state fair
manager. This production will abound
in spectacular qualities and will rep
resent a new form of outdoor enter
tainment made possible by the rapid
advance in the development of micro
phone and amplifying systems.
Heretofore, these great, elaborate
performances could only tell their
plots and stories by means of panto-
mime or banners, but now the plan is
to have crisp, incisive, dramatic dia-
logue spoken by the leading characters
and carried to the audience in full
clarity and volume by the amplifying
devices of the public address systems.
In this manner, the full value of ev-
cry episode will be communicated to
the audience and eveery moment can
be made absorbingly interesting and
exciting
The pageant drama itself is one
capable of the utmost development in
this direction because its theme is not
only patriotic but is stirring and in
spiriting at ever yturn. 1t is conced-
ed that no fined subject could have
been chosen for the introduction of
this new form of outdoor drama than
that Of Washington Lives" The
story will treat Of the intensely dra
matte scenes in Washington's life and
support the theme that the principles
which Washington exemplified live to-
day and are needed to solve the COM
plex problems that confront the ma
ton now.
The cast, itself, will include twelve
hundred roles and the action calls for
mounted soldiers, soldiers on foot,
great groups of colonial civilians, ex-
-ensive brilliantly costumed enterpre
tative ballets, and assemblages of
groups displaying flying
banners and glittering insignia. All
are to be shown upon an
elaborate and large scale so that the
overwhelming significance of Wash I
ngton's career and its message will +
BE conveyed in its widest scope to the
audience.
The presentation is a part of the
Bi-Centennial celebration
and cooperation in the project is be-
ng furnished by the Ohio State
Grange, Farm Bureau Federation and t
oy organized groups in every county
n Ohio.

NEW QUARTERS
BEING ISSUED
Moneys to Bear Image of
George Washington-Nu-
merOuS Facts Over
looked

George Washington will make his
debut on the Nations pocket change
late this month when distribution of
his new silver quarter is begun by the
United States mint.
Although a veteran of the postage
stamp albums for many years, there
has never been a regular coin struck
bearing the image of the "father Of
his country" Abraham Lincoln has
appeared on the penny for years.
The Governments three mints at
Philadelphia, San Francisco and Den
yer are striking the quarter from new
dies now In order to avoid i'll feel
ing, the Federal Reserve banks will
distribute them to banks in all parts
of the country simultaneously.
Bankers, who like new bills and
coins as well as people less familiar
with money, are expected to ask for
all new quarters when they come out,
but the director of the mint will force
them to use up their old ones first.
The new quarter, not issued as a
commemorative piece, recalls numer-
Gus facts about small change which
are frequently overlooked.
Few know that "E. Pluribus Unum"
ain God We Trust" and Liberty" ap
pear on all silver coins because the
law requires it. The same is true of
the eagles figure.
Careful search will reveal that many
coins bear a small letter IS" or I'D"
somewhere on their faces. They indi-
cate that the coin was struck at San
Francisco or Denver mints. Those
struck at Philadelphia, the largest
mint in the country, bear no distin-
gushing initial.
A few old coins may be found with
an 90" or &C. c." They were struck
either at the Old New Orleans or Car
son City, New, minst, now abandoned.
Designers of coins sometimes put
their initials on them inconspicuously:
The George Washington quarter will
have an IF" on it for John Flanagan,
its designer. Flanagan also designed
the magnificent bronze clock which adj
orns the reading room Of the library
of Congress and the Verdun medal
presented to France.

"B & NJ REMEDY" FRAUD,
SAYS FEDERAL JURY

Following (. trial which lasted
more than three weeks, the U. S.
District Court at Baltimore, July 10
upheld the Federal Food and Drug
administrator allegations of the
falsity and fraudulency in the label
ing of "B & NJ External Remedy" a
product of the F. E. Rollins Com
pany, Boston, Mass The action in
volved the seizure, in August, 1881,
Of bottles of the patent medicine.
Continued enforcement of the Sherley
Amendment to the Federal food and
drugs act largely depended on the de-
cision in this case, according to w.
G. Campbell, Director of Regulatory
Work, U. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture The amendment defines as
misbranded any drug preparation
bearing both false and fraudulent
claims for the cure, prevention or
mitigation of disease, if the article
is shipped in interstate or import
trade.
"B & vi External Remedy" lini-
ment composed essentially of water,
turpentine, ammonia, and eggs, was
labeled with remedial claims for such
serious diseases as tuberculosis, rheu-
matim, influenza, bronchitis and
pneumonia. Stocks of the remedy
had been seized on three previous oc-
casions and the company was, in
these cases, involved in legal tro-
ceedings.

Washin gton's Supremacy

Many estimates of George Wash
ingtOn's character have been writ
ten, but perhaps none is more in
teresting than that of the historian
George Bancroft, who summarizes
the great first President as follows
"His faculties were so well bal
anced and combined that his consti-
tuition, free from excess, was tenn
pered evenly with all the elements
Of activity and his mind resembled
a well-organized commonwealth his
passions. which had the intensest
vigor, owned allegiance to reason !;
and with all the fiery quickness Of
his spirit, his impetuous and mas
sive will was held in check by con
summate judgment. He had in his
composition a calm which gave him
in moments of highest excitement
the power of self-control and en-
abled him to excel in patience, even
when he had most cause for dis
gust"

the educational unit now under
construction the church will meet

The new addition is to house the
