BSS Cent These CAPTAIN DIETRIGK PLEASES AUDIENCE WITH HIS LECTURE Charlie Butler Will Be Principal Attraction At Baptist Sea side Assembly Tonight. BROOKS INDORSES THE - V . L1BKAK I 1SUU1V UKL V i It Writes- Missr Palmer , That . : Meets liis , Approval; V Captain Will Arthur Dietrick last ight at Harbor island auditorium made the dryest ot, dry subjects im mensely Interesting. His lecture was ntitred "The Immensity of the "Uni verse" and was illustrated by colored lantern Slides. The treatment of the subject: was first intensive and dealt with the' matter and organisms of" the darth, . next extensive, dealing- with the sun, moon and. stars, and lastly iynamic dealing, with . the ;forces. of "nature "such as the magnetic power of . the moon and its effect on the tides. - Possibly the first phase of Captain Dietrick's lecture was the most enter taining, if such distinction can be . made- . He told, interesting and un usual things about insect, animal and C plant life. The picture of a butterfly's toneue was flashed upon the screen. It was a long curly thing like a snake Captain Dietrick explained that the butterfly slipped down into the inner most recesses of a flower, and - made numerous reference to his extensive . tasting power. Next a snail's dental equipment consisting of thousands of teeth was revealed on "the screen- . "What a busy man a dentist to a col ' ony of snails would be," Captain Diet r rick laughingly said, "but," be added, "snails are lucky, when one row of teeth wears off another -slips up to lkake its place, apd another row grows it the back qf the mouth. , Has Humorous Style. Captain Dietrick has a humorous and energetic manner of speaking. He , delivers a perfect stream of scientific facts with punch and vigor, inter - Bpersing in the would-be dry matter in occasional witticism. When he reached, the second stage of his lec - ture, in which he departed from -this . earth in theme, of course and spoke ' of the other worlds millions of miles . iway. he said: "What," an ideal place Saturn is for !, lovers, to begin with its thirty-three million miles from anywhere, and next ' It has twelve moons which shine per petually affording eternal moonlight, whereas on earth we have only, one ' stingy moon which shines only part of the time." Although a bit long the lecture did not. grow tiresome, and the audience : ', again expressed delight at the su perior talent which the management of the Seaside assembly has secured this , year. Char.lie Butle the popular music di rector completely won his listeners again last night. Tonight Mr. Butler . will be the "whole show." Mr. Butler is not only a singer and musical di rector but he is an entertainer as well He gives character sketches, readings and comedy skits. . Tonight there will be parts which touch the heart strings and parts which will provoke laughter Dr. Hurt and his advisors think they are making no mistake in alloting an entire night to Charlie Butler. The attendance was an improvement last night on the opening gession. Ex pectations, however, in attendance are '' not reached yet. Many will come in as late as Sunday, the management say. Miss Annie L. Williams, of Birming- ham, Ala., one of the leading figures in ; the personnel of the program, is al- - ready in the city, . so she will surely be on hand for' her lecture on Sunday. "You cannot afford to omit Miss Wil liams," said Dr. Hurt,""I can vouch for her, I know her of old." - Dr. H. L. Strickland addressed the assembly yesterday morning. His sub ject was "The Seven Laws of Teach ing." Dr.-Strickland brought out the fact that persons invariably learn more from unconscious teaching than from deliberate intentional touching.-' SULLIVAN GIVES DAVIS LEAD IN THE RACE FOR DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION (Continued From Page One.) functions in the world of ideas. He is ' entirely capable of doing good handi work wiht the materials of statesman ship. He has one quality that makes : Ihm outstanding here. He is one of the very few democratic leaders who truly and spontaneously believes whole heartedly in the league of nations. Cummings believes in the league of nations in the same way and to the same degree that President Wilson has. There are plenty of leaders who be lieve in the league, or who believe it , Is good policy to stand by the league, but the think that distinguishes Cum-, ninga Is his pristine ardor about it. LfKe Wilson V Cummings retains today just as ex- 'altecfa mood about this gallant ad venture in the direction of, peace for mankind . as President Wilson himself had when he first burst upon tire world with it. If President Wilson wer to control this nomination and if, he were governed by the wish to name some one who could put the President's own heart vicariously behind the league of nations, Cummings might come to the Tront. ;'; . . - , Simeons' 'Tabooed ; ' -Of course, the nomination may go to anyone of the other ten now slated to be put in nomination or It may go to ome one not yet mentioned. Of the othe,r ten, some are clearly impossible. No patty with its mind on victory is man who comes from as far south as foing to put up for the presidency a Senator Simmons of North Carolina Probably It would not put for the presidency a man from so far south as , Senator Glass, of Virginia, "although ' Glass has abundant character-and abil ity to qualify him. Governor Edwards of New Jersey, of course, regardless of his personal politics Is in this situation here merely an episode of comic relief Champ Clark is too old. The secretary ua ngucunure, n. x. JMLereaitn, of Iowa migth have a chance, if he were bet ter known or if his state was a doubt ful. The democrats either In the nom ination for, president or for vice-president, should be able to guarantee the winning of Iowa, that would go far to ward winning the country, but Iowa is almost as thorough-going a republican state as Pennsylvania. Aa the late Sen ator Dolllver used to put it, "Iowa will go democratic when hell goes Method- Bt." '-. The "books for everybody" cam paign recently launched by the Ameri can Library association, has received the hearty indorsement of E. C. Brooks, state superintendent of education. In a letter to Miss Mary B. Palmer, of Raleigh, Mr. Brooks says: "I wish to give my hearty indorse ment to any program that seeks to Improve the library condition InS the several counties of the state. There are' entirely too few serviceable, li braries. The people have not the use of books that contribute to their own profession or occupation or inspira tion. It ,1s necessary, in my judgment, for us. to re-organize our library-program and provide a more' effective plan for supplying -the people Qf the small towns and . rural ... sections' with the mean of "improving, the culture that their lives need. "I believe the program of the American . Library association " is an improvement over anything that we have.' If we could, establish in every county a circulating library and - haVe the books circulating from one central part through public wagons, or other means equally as good, we could ren der the state one of the greatest serv ices. . .. : - - . - , ; ; "I regret that it is impossible for me to attend your meeting, but I wish to assure you of -my hearty co-operation in your plans to promote the building of county libraries and dis seminating good literature." The public is invited and urged to make contributions to this compaign In Wilmington. Contributions should be made through "Miss Frances Jewett at the public . library. DR. SAMPEY WILL SPEAK AT CALVARY Noted Louisville Minister Com ing Tomorrow. The congregation of Calvary Baptist church is exceedingly fortunate in pro curing Dr. John R. Sampey, of the Southern Baptist Theological seminary, of Louisville,' Ky. to preach for them at the morning service Sunday. Dr. Sampey Is : here assisting in the pro gram at the Baptist Seaside assembly, speaking on the subject each day, "Mountain . Peaks In Old Testament History." At the everting hour Mr. Harry Strickland, "the - live wire" among Baptist Sunday schools in the south, will preach. Mr. " Strickland is also assisting at the assembly, speak ing daily on best methods in Sunday school work. The congregation is' to be congratulated in having these noted speakers on Sunday.

SHOWS GOOD FORM Sandy Hook, 7. J. June 25. Sir Thomas Llpton's Shamrock IV, chal lenger for the America's cup, defeated his twenty-three-meter Shamrock in a 125.4 mile tuning up contest off here today by 13 minutes and 31 seconds actual time. The challenger covered the course in a northeast' breeze of nearly 10 knots, in 3. hours, 18 minutes and 37 seconds. The Shamrock IV Is still far from approaching true racing form insofar as her sails are concerned. Nevertheless her work today gave the impression that she would be a danger- lous rival to the American cup defender in light weather.
