Shoreham
With Washington's famous Bar
nee BreeSkin as master Of music
at the Shoreham Hotel, it is not
surprising to find the hotel favo-
rite smart spot among Capitol
ians. In the Lounge Cafe you
will find Barnee welding the
baton and making everybody
happy and at ease from 4:30 to
7 o'clock each afternoon. A little
later in the evening Barnee again
takes the fore as director of
Maxim loves Orchestra in the
ballroom, and what he and his
men do with music is what makes
dancing a treat.
The Shoreham Is presenting for
the second week the smart, expert
dance team of Marion wilkins
and Jack Meyers. who have been
stopping the show all week.
Miss wilkins wears her Patou
models and her dozens of other
smart dance creations that only
her Svelte form and gracious as
surance can give.

baritone who is back in Washing

of the evening. They do a bur-
lesque song and dance written
and staged for them by Lister
Allen. Mr.. Smith does a Rus
sian kneedrop dance. Miss Bar

The Mayfair

Perhaps the most noticeable
thing to the patrons Of the new
Mayfair Restaurant, Cafe Of All
Nations, which has just opened in
the new Remington, Rand Build
ing at Thirteenth and F Streets,
is the low cost Of the best foods
and drinks. This coming in the
face Of generally rising prices is
hailed by all.
Opening last Thursday, to a ca
pacity crowd, the Mayfair bids fair
to be one of the most popular
places in the city. The District Of
Columbia cocktail room and the
smack bar" are something novel
in Washington.

New York's Great White Way.
The feature team on the program

talent in spectacular perform

The Lotus patrons were so enthu-
siastic Of this showing, many en-
cores were accorded this talented
team.

TRADE BODY REQUESTS
COURT ENFORCE ORDER

The Federal Trade Commission has
asked the District Court of Appeals
to enforce a fair competition order
1t issued four years ago against Avia-
ton Institute Of u S. A., Inc, a cor
respondence school located here, Of
which Lieut.. Walter Hinton. pilot of
!. the first transatlantic plane, is presi-
sdent.
/. In its appeal, the commission
claims its order has not been obeyed.
The commission held that the use OF
the initials ~. S. A" was apt to
slead to the supposition the school
was an official agency of the Govern
.ment. It ordered the institute to
cease and desist" using the initials
or any other symbols denoting a Gov
ernment connection.
According to brief filed by w. r.
Kelley, chief counsel for the COM
mission, the institute has students In
practically every State and many
foreign countries. Correspondence
courses in aviation are sold.

RISING SUN HIGH SCHOOL NEWS

The enrolment of Rising Sun
High School bids fair to be the larg-
est in the history of the school. A
the present time 1873 pupils are en-
rolled. There are "a Seniors on the
roll, 80 Juniors, So Sophomores and
"a pupils in the entering class. There
is still quite a large group to be
enrolled.
Our faculty this year is the same
as the faculty during preceding year.
The faculty is composed of the fol
lowing: M. U. Zimmerman, Prin-
cipal, History and Problems of De-
mocracy; Eva P. Nutter, English and
French; Mrs. Julia Woodward,
Mathematics; Leila Hite, History
and Civics; Mrs. Mackie, Home Eco
Monies; Harry Hovermill, Science;
George Prettyman, English; Warren
Warren, Industrial Arts.
Our course of study is the same as
last year with the exception of the
addition of Business Arithmetic as
a part of the Senior Math Course,
All the teachers are endeavoring to
make the content of our present
courses of as much practical value as
they possibly can. Our statistics
show that less than 1919 of our
pupils are interested in preparation
for college. AS a result of this we
feel that our present courses should
be of definite help to the future
every day life of our pupils.
Several friends of the school have
recently offered worthwhile books
for the school library. We are al
ways glad to get donations of books
suitable for reading by pupils of high
school age.

COUNTY AGENT EXPLAINS NEW
WHEAT CONTRACT

The new wheat adjustment con-
tract has been approved in final form
and will be offered to farmers in this
county soon, County Agent Miller
has been notified.
This contract will run for four
years, from 1886 to 1889, inclusive,
as compared with the three-year
period of the present contract Pro-
ducers will receive first payment
each year, and then at the end Of
the year, the second adjustment pay
ment will be fixed at such an amount
as will tend to give the producer
parity according to what the price of
wheat has been during the marketing
year.
The reduction in acreage each year
will depend upon the national and
world wheat situation. The extreme
limit that may be called for is rs
per cent under the base acreage, but
for 1886 the figure is set at 5 per
cent. The base years for the new
contract are the same as those for
the present contract-1930-32 for
acreage and 1882 for production.
Under certain conditions, four-year
and five-year base periods may be
used, to meet special practices.
All wheat producers who can
establish base production and acre
age are eligible to sign contracts,
whether or not they are signers OF
present contracts. Producers who
have not been contract signers and
who wish to enter into the new pro-
gram are advised to get in touch with
their county agent.
The adjusted acreage is to be used
for such purposes as pasture, hay,
timber, shelter belts, soil-erosion pre-
vention, weed control, and soil i'm
provement.
First 1886 adjustment payments
will be payable in the summer of
1886 after compliance with the con-
tract for that crop has been checked.

For the first time in the history of
the nation a countrywide safety
program has the backing of the
Federal Government, a fact which
should materially aid in reducing the
nations giant accident bill, Harry L.

In a recent executive order, Presi-
dent Roosevelt declared that "All
work projects shall be conducted in
accordance with safe working condi-
lions, and every effort shall be made
for the prevention of accidents"
Because of the determination OF

sands under the work program will
be passed on TO others and should
prove of incaculable good, Mr.. Hop
