Friday and Saturday - After a
run of several years in New York,
London, Paris and various other
world capitals as a stage play,
'Tovarich," a comedy dealing with
a Grand Duchess and Prince, now
comes to the screen. Warner Bros.
made the picture and endowed it
with a splendid cast and many
magnificent settings. Claudette
Colbert plays the Grand Duchess
and Charles Boyer the Prince. Al
though the main characters are
Russian, all the action of the pic
ture takes place in Paris, to which
city the erstwhile mobiles have fed.
There are no revolutionary scenes
and no warfare in ''Tovarich." 1t
is continuous high comedy.

treatise on the Washington society,
as seen from the corner of a merry
observers eye. 1t has no mission.
It breaches nothing more serious

Miss Shatz has organized a G
Clef Club, consisting of all seventh
and eighth grade pupils and those
of the fifth and six grades who are
interested. The purpose of this
club is to increase the students
knowledge of famous composers
and their works. Each week pro-
gram is prepared in which com
poser and his works are studied
and sung. If it is possible, rec
ords are procured and the compos-
er's masterpieces are played so
that the pupils can better under
stand the greatness of compost
tion. The club will put on a radio
program Thursday morning, Janu-
airy 13, in school, using Stephen
Collins Foster for its theme. This
organization hopes to acquaint the
younger students with the rudi-
mentary facts about many COM
posers.

Costs Estimated
In Illinois engineering experts
have estimated the cost of salts
factory highway lighting installa-
tion at less than ten percent of the
initial construction cost of four
lane highway. Estimates are cited
to show that adequate lighting of
public streets and highways is not
too expensive to consider from the
viewpoint of its value as definite
public improvement. when it is
realized that the economic loss at
tributable to automobile accidents
each year In the State of Illinois
runs into the millions.

Human Life Saved
Human life can be conserved by
safe highways, made safe by mass
education of motorists and pedes-

the safe manner of using streets

of traffic laws; uniform traffic regu-
lations, and removal of physical

"The Legion's campaign for light
ing the highways was carried to

Already, we have begun to learn

One is "Stars of the Summer

song written for three part voices.
1t tells about lady sleeping in the

be quiet so that she will not awak-

liant CHATTER" is an entirely differ
ent song. Just emagine what you
would do if a big bug "a chaffer)
