ious parts of the country, due to the
difference in freight charges alone,
but the average delivered price will
show an increase of approximately
5 per cent"
Citing the decided increases in
material and labor costs during the
past few months, together with the
long list of improvements on the
1884 cars, as factors necessitating
the price increase, Mr.. Holler said:
II cannot emphasize too strongly
the appreciation Of Chevrolet offic-
ials toward our 10000 dealers for
their splendid cooperation in MAX
ing possible the low delivered prices
of the new 1884 Chevrolet"

Assembly Program

On Friday, the 9Th, Mr.. lothian
Johnson, Rowlandville, member of
he only non-Italian Expedition of
italy, gave a very interesting talk
20 the student body on the sxcava-
ions in Italy. The first part Of his
speech was devoted to the ancient
history of Rome during the period
before the birth of Christ.
A protector with slides aided him
n his talk. The slides revealed
many things pertaining to Italy.
some of these were: the old wall,
aoman Forum, orchards, vineyards,
he water supply system, good roads,
pottery, sculpture. and the old Rom
IN theatre. Slides showing the ex-
Iedition at work, excavating the
titles, proved to be interesting.
The entire student body showed
It's appreciation by the strict atten-
lion paid to Mr.. johnson. This talk
was enjoyed not only by the school
Jut by several visitors.

HAIR LIP AND CLETT-PALATE
These abnormal conditions AFFECT
ing the lips and roof Of the mouth
are generally hereditary deformities
and are usually present at birth.
Hair lip is termed as notched or
split lip. BY cleft-palate ! mean a
congenitai assure of the hard and
soft palates of the mouth. it may
also involve the process IMPEDING
the teeth.
The upper lip is commonly Affect
ed more so than the lower one. This
split notch or so called fissrre may
divide the lip in one or more places
and may be deer or shallow. The
condition OF the lip in most cases Is
associated with a cleft in the roof OF
the mouth. 1t is often an inherited
condition, but other thin rs may
cause 1t as we'll, for instance. a me-
Ichanical injury. something interior
ing with the union Of the bones;
sometimes material impressions, for
example, the mother during preg-
nancy is impressed with some of
these sights which in turn r1ay at
feet the child, but these impressions
must be conveyed in the verg early
periods, otherwise, they are Of no
value.
This abnormal condition should be
corrected very early in life and the
best means is accomplished through
surgery, otherwise, this defo'mity II
continued will affect the speech, the
position and amount of teeth, the
function of the facial muscles and
harmony of the face.

civic Club News

A special assembly was called
January 2, for the purpose of in
stalling the new system of monitor
duties beginning the new school
year. This system was presented to
the student body by Martha Keil-
holtz. The students were reminded
Of the crowded effect in the locker
rooms. To avoid this two bells
must be rung at noon: the first bell
dismissing the seniors and sopho-
mores, the second bell dismissing
the juniors and freshmen. Moni-
tors for locker room duty at noon
hour have been appointed, from
1918 to 1890, Frances Jugler and
Lenna Goodman, from 1890 to
12:45, George Logan and Beulah
Richie.
The monitors for hall duty be-
tween class periods are Helen Jen-
ness and Chester Eckman. The
monitors at dismissal for duty at
the foot of the stairs are Leon
Richardson and Anna Haines. A
monitor shall keep his position for
a period OF two weeks.
Thus far, this system has shown
improvement over the old system.

"LET EN- EAT CAKE"
Sequel To "Of Thee I Sing" AT
Ford's Theatre, Baltimore,
Week OF Jan.f15

With big musical shows scarce
this season, the announcement that
LET EN- Eat Cake" the sequel to
that memorable political satire, "Of
Thee / Sing" which broke all rec
ords in Baltimore last year, will play
an engagement of one week at
Ford's Theatre, Baltimore, begin
ming Monday night, January 18th,
with matinees Wednesday and Sat
urday, comes as welcome piece of
theatrical news. The interest is
heightened by the fact that the
same three stars, William Gaxton,
Lois Moran and Victor Moore, and
all their original associates, will
again be seen in the roles they made
the talk of the country.
The plot of Let EN- Sat Cake"
has to do with a second term in the
White House of President John P.
Wintergreen, Vice-President Throt-
tlebottom and the First Lady, but
the humor of the story lies in the
hitch that they do not win and are
chucked out of office by an over
whelming majority-or, as Winter
green puts it: There was stuffing
of the ballot-boxes, but not enough
to re-elect him!
Let EN- Eat Cake was written
by the same authors who fashioned
"Of Thee Sing" namely George
is. Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind
the music is by George Gershwin,
and the lyrics by his brother Ira,
the pair who SO ably helped to win
the Pulitzer Prize for the present
musicals predecessor,
/ Scenically, LET En- Eat Cake is
a big show in every sense of the
word. We are again introduced to
the White House, first on the night
of the election when W'lntergreen
and his associates lose out, and later
on when, as Dictator of the United
States, Wintergreen has he'd the
White House painted blue to con-
form in color with the Blue Shirts
worn by the revolutiolists. We
see also the exterior and interior OF
the shop opened by Mr.. and Mrs.
Wintergreen, when they are forced
into the shirt business to support
their two children, with Throttle
bottom acting as sandwich man and
floor walker. The march or Wash
ington In celerful uniforms, the
dazzling meeting Of the League o.
Nations, the trial Of Throttlsbottom
for losing ball game and the war
debts, and his laughable near-exe-
cution on guillitine imported from
France and his rescue from death
by fashion parade introduced in
the nick of time by Mrs. Winter
green are but a few of the thrilling
incidents aided by stirring musical,
dance and chorus numbers perfcrm-
ed by 100 shanely cheFisters Seats

These prices represent an average

This increase is directly in line
with the recent prediction of Alfred

in the cost to the purchaser is only

Actually, Mr.. Heller points out in
his statement, CheyFolet's delivered

When the burdens of life are heavy
And we cannot understand
Somewhere a nightingale singing,
Ger the troubled sea and land.
When the darkness oyerwhelms us
And stormy pillows roll;
Somewhere nightingale singing,
Brings peace with the soul.
Our trust is in Him who holds us
In the hollow of His hand;
Somewhere nightingale, singing,
A triumphant song and grand.
Our God will never fail US;
His will we love to obey;
Somewhere a nightingale singing,

ers Of both sexes this week
will bring to Washington the
L first Of the bigger events that

corral all the better golfers of this
area and a few from out Of town to
make the tourney Of the Virginia

So far the women have had but one
major affair-the Keeler Cup tourney
but this week the Post Cup event
starts the big-ttne season, which will
continue with the larger events wind

tourney for the medal round, to be
played on Tuesday and Wednesday,
while Dave Thomson, the energetic
little club pro, Is putting the finish

the other courses, Washington has

and will be In satisfactory condition

MOT since 1881 has the Washing

was won by Jimmy Drain, a member
of the Washington club. Jimmy will
be in there again this year, striving
to make it double, but his job Is q
tough one at best, for since 1881 Tom
my Webb has become a fine golfer,
capable of scoring in the low 70s
every time he starts, and Frank K

and a dependable player under all
conditions, has rejoined the club
These three, with Roger Peacock,

nish a winner in the Washington
tournament.
Scores in the women's tournament
at Chevy Chase are certain to be
high, for the course is soft and soggy
