Feature Story.

Voices can be as impellingly at
tractive as faces-and often more in
fluential. 1t is the low pitched vibrant
voice which fills its listeners with in
tense eagerness to hear it. Some voices
are SO dull and possess such dreary
monotone, that they are merely exist
ent, one feels, lacking living tones.
Sometimes this lack Of quality in a
voice is caused by matching drab
personality, yet it is as often the disil-
lusioning product of mere habit.
There is also the other extreme Of
pitch maintained by nervous, excitable
people. The shrill, piping voice which
virtually penetrates. the teeth Of its
auditors, is about as delightful sound
as a squeaky fiddle Raucous, ear
rending tones are not only distasteful.
but definitely unpleasant.
The Individual who mouths and NUT
ters his words is taxing to the patience
of his hearers. If sentence is worthy
of delivery, it deserves clear passage.
Poor English is offensive to those
whose diction approaches perfection.
Unless you're a dreamy South
erner with Overwhelmingly natural
drawI, you can't afford to drop g's.
After all, voice is decidedly as
much betrayer of personality as is
expression, SO if you would that your
vocal cords betray the best in you, en-
ploy good English, speak distinctly
pleaslngly, and VITALITY

The Noon Lunch.

One distinct service offered by the
school is the lunch given at noon to
grade and high school pupils. 1t has
been more popular this year than
formerly and the number who get their
bowls of soup will average IFS each
day, The cost has not been raised from
the depression price Of two bowls for
a nickle altho the cost to the district is
approximately six cents per serving.
Preparation for the lunch is no small
task and it keeps Mrs. Elwood Brown
and her crew busy from ten in the
morning to one in the afternoon to pre-
pare for the meal and to clear up for
the day. Fortunately the large gym is
SO arranged that it is a simple matter
to place the tables and to seat the
crowd. At that Mr.. Bessey and Mr.
Noel spend half hour in preparation
before walters appear Mrs. Brown has
number of students to help her and
they have become so well trained to
their job that the lunch apparently is
served with little effort. Many pupils
contribute vegetables which they trade
for soup tickets; others earn their meal
by work in the kitchen or as waters
The service is not restricted to those
who live in the country altho city pupils
are not encouraged to stay unless the
weather is particularly bad or unless
they have special work to do over the
noon hour.

SUCCESSFUL PRESENTATION
OF "OH, PROFESSOR

IoAS1L~cJI IL 4 IGI%OElN ~
OF "OH, PROFESSOR.n
By George Hayes.
Under the direction of Miss Helen
Dahlberg, the Junior class donned the
grease paint last Friday evening and
presented rollicking farce entitled
"Oh, Professor" to small but ap-
preciative audience. The play involved
i the trials and tribulations of a bogus
professor playboy" who suddenly finds
himself in the chair of astronomy at a
/ girls academy. Dick Veldman, as
Michael Pemberton, the professor tenn
porary, and Joyce Daggett as Patricia
Patterson, the lovely sweetheart stu
dent. rendered the leading roles in a
very convincing and humorous manner.
Good work, Dick and Joyce we hope
you enjoyed your embarrassment as
much as we did.
DIR. Aristotle the elderly, dignitied
dean, part which is always difficult
for young person to interpret. was,
nevertheless, very well done by Calvin
Harley George Krebs, as the tradi-
tionally uninteresting yet human pro-
fessor, and Helen Zajanc as Mile Fiji,
the romantic French lady from Paris,
offered many ludicrous lines and situa-
tons, Lyle Austin, as Jake, the janitor,
deserves much credit for his perform
ance. A good Characterization and al
ways good comedy-nice work, Lyle.
Probably the most laughter came
from the antics of Odin Rolseth who,
in the part of Jimmy Anderson. dis
guised himself in girls clothes and be-
came an irregularly enrolled student
at the academy, much to the discom-
future of Michael Pemberton, the play
boy professor. 1t is not surprising that
Odin should be such a natural female
with so many sisters to watch and OBJ
serve. Keep observing, Odin.
Edith Darlington, Mary Boyle, Lu-
ellie Turner, and Judith Johnston, al
though in minor roles as girls OF the
academy, nevertheless added much to
the spirit Of the play by the natural
ness with which they graced the
picture.
Finally. we come to Violet Becker,
who, in the part Of Miss Frederick, the
assistant dean. gave the most consistent
and convincing Characterization Of the
evening She spoke her lines with ease
and exposed their meaning in harmony
With tile character she was represent
ing Good work, Violet.
In conclusion, the Junior class and
Miss Dahlberg are to be congratulated.
1t was task started with an entirely
green and inexperienced group, plus
limited time for preparation. Yet they
represented not only their class in
commendable manner, but Libby High
School as well. We should like to see
them perform again.

RECOVERY CHEERS
MOVIE INDUSTRY
Both Rentals and Box Office
Receipts Show Steady
Upward Trend.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, April 25.-A marked
increase in motion picture attendance
is the outstanding feature in this
industry for the first quarter Of 1886.
according to a new survey issued by
Poor's Publishing Co.
From the low point reached in
1882, motion picture attendance has
risen steadily, with 1885 recording
gains better than had been ex-
pected. Theater attendance for last
year is estimated at 100000 weekly
lis per cent above 1884.
"A year ago income from film
rentals was satisfactory, but theater
box Office income was low" continues
the survey.
"Now, a pleasing upward trend
for both rentals and box Offices il
providing motion picture companie:
with earnings higher than that oi
the early 1885 months.
Although admission prices, which
declined during the depression, have
not been advanced with recovery
sporadic attempts made in this di-
rection may be taken as an indica-
ton of the plan to increase prices
when attendance more fully attains
/ theater seating capacities.
THAT attendance during the first
three months of 1886 should have
run ahead of last year, despite ad-
verse weather conditions and floods
is adequate testimony to rise ir
consumer incomes which promise
much for the motion picture in
dustry as time passes"

Additional Gold
Will Be Shipped;
Franc Is Narrow
BY the Associated Press.

With more gold shipments from
Paris to the United States being ar
ranged, the French franc was unable
to move out of a narrow groove in
yesterdays foreign currency dealings.
The dollar at Paris was quoted at
the equivalent of 6.58 cents to the
franc. The latter was slightly higher
most of the day in New York. but
slipped back later to finish unchanged
at 658ss cents, the theoretical level
at which gold may be transported to
America at small profit.
During the day it was learned that
$2,5O0,000 of gold had been arranged
for transport on the S. S. Paris SAIL
ing April 20. This was in addition
to the s7,115.000 which 1t was an

New York from the French capital.
Several million dollars more, 1t was

further commitments in French funds

NEW YORK, April 25.-Those ard
ent souls who have long made q full
time Job of finding new uses and ex-
panding the demand for cotton never
were able to make good on the old
scheme for solving the problem Of
cotton goods consumption by inducing
every Chinese in China to add an inch
to his shirt tail.
But they have done something Just
as good, which, while it may not put
a quietus on the shirt-tail whimsey,
probably will throw good Irish bull"
into the discard. You remember the
story about the Irishman who was al
ways in discomfort because the sheets
were too short and told his wife to

Wheat Export Outlet Likely
To Be Unnecessary This Year

total wheat supply will not be par
ticularls excessive from the standpoint
of domestic requirements.
The total wheat crop will amount
to 663,000,000 bushels.
While this will be in excess Of the
domestic requirements Of the past sea-
son, which will probably amount to
only slightly more than 100000, 900
bushels, it will by no means be in
excess Of the amount which the coun-
try has the ability to absorb. In the
1932-21 season, for instance, the
United States consumed 766,000,0 900
bushels.
This means that even II the Spring
wheat crop Is larger than that Of last
year, the United States will not need
to compete to any extent in foreign
markets in order to dispose of its
wheat, says the Alexander Hamilton
Institute. The wheat crop this year
will represent practically the entire
smount available for sale since there
will not be much Of Q carry-over Of
old wheat.
