The School Improvement Committee report ed that twelve pictures had been placed in the school. These pic tures were given to the room for a ninty five per cent attendance for the month. The total cost of pictures was $60.00 fifty of which was donated by the Roanoke Rap ids Power Company. Twenty shrubs donated by Mrs. Jackson have been planted on the front corners of grounds. Twelve trees were planted on Arbor Dav. A play was given by the associa tion from which $50.25 was real ized. The Library Committee re ported eleven books added to the library. Twenty-five to the fourth grade. These were sup plementary readers. A book “The Parent and the Child” and a pamphlet, “Sunday in the Home” were added, these being of special interest to parents The “News and Observer” was placed on the reading table. One public meeting was held at night and was well attended. The Health Committee reports that milk has been served daily. By the aid of Sunday School Classes, Roanoke Mills and Patterson Mills twenty-five children haye been given milk free of charge since November 1st. Nearly every child who drinks milk has gained in weight, has shown more interest in school and has done better work. Some have made sufficient improvement to make the honor roll for the first time. The total expenditure of the milk station has been $285.00 for the year. The last year officers were re elected Mrs. E. J. Coltrane, President, Mrs. W. L. Long, Vice President; and Mrs. A. L. Taylor Secretary and Treasurer. Poison Gat as a Life Saver Through experiments with chlorine gas army chemists have established the fact that epidem ics of influenza, grip or colds may be checked almost instantly, it is stated, through the intro duction of weak concentrations of the gas into the rooms occu pied by those who are to be ex posed. The mustard gas is a specific for tuberculosis apparently has been demonstrated bv the experi ments conducted undef the “dir ection of Lieut. Col. Edward B. Vedder, of the army medical corps. Guinea pigs/ inoculated with tuberculosis germs and with a certain concentration of raue tard gas apparently were ren dered immune by the gas and alt failed to contract the disease. At the same time, an equal num ber . of guinea pigs inoculated with the tuberculosis germs, and not subjected to the mustard gas treatment, all contracted the disease. \s a result of experiments in the burning gas known a? Lewis ite, army chemists have evolved what appears to be an efficacious remedy, if not an infallible cure, for pare^und focotnotor ataxia. Lewisjte is a burning gas com posed of arsenic and acetylene gas. ' Dr. Lovenhart’ of the Univer sity of Wisconsin, has the re cords of some forty-two cases of persons committed to hospitals for the insane with paraesis. Of that number twenty-one have been entirely cured and have left the hospital and taken up lucrative employment, and seven bid filir to soon be discharged as cured. Judging from the above it is possible that poison gas, one of the horrors of the late war, may ultimately save more lives than it has destroyed or ever will des troy. It may, indeed, prove to be a great blessing to humanity, and especially bo if war, which gave it birth can be abolt^hjj Aurora Boreotlo Reoo h it mm HIAWATHA’S CHILDHOOD SPLENDIDLY PRESENTED Indian Operetta Presented by 350 Children of the Elementary Grades Under Direction of Miss Whitley Pleases Large Audience. BEGINS COMMENCEMENT EXEK-ISES The Commencement Exercises of the Roanoke Rapids Public Schools began on last Tuesday evening, when “Hiawatha’s Childhood’’ an Indian operetta, was presented by a chorus of three hundred and fifty children of elementray grades, under the direction of Miss Gladys Whitley, assisted by Miss Marjorie Men denhall and Miss Myrtle Blake. The Production was staged cn a scale large enough to tax the resources ~f *he mammoth audi torium stage and the effect pre duced by high banks of children arranged in semi circle around the stage were very striking. Discipline was perfect and the choruses were rendered surpris ingly well for children so young. The Indian war dance by a group of boys and the dance of the fireflies by a group of little girls were very attractively executed. Another very enjoyable feature of the program were the two solos delightfully rendered by Miss Mendenhall :n parts II and III. The general excellence of the production was a striking testi monial fo the ability and patience of Miss Whitley and her assist ants in the difficult work of training large numbers of small children in intricate choruses.

The guests were greeted by Mrs. Mullen, Mrs, Andrews, Miss Mar aret Hew'it and Mrs. J. P. Hewitt, mother Pf the bride to be.

About one hun dred guest were present a^fl m I A GAME ACTRESS Mary Mile* Minter Wanted No Double to Act For Her. “One of the gamest actresses I ever saw!” This is what Char les Maigne, director, said of Mary Miles Minter, Paramount star, on the return of the com pany from a six week’s sojourn in Wyoming, where the exteriors for “The Cowboy and the Lady,” in which Miss Minter is co-fea tured with Tom Moore, were filmed, and which conies to the , Peoples Theatre next Thursday <nnd Friday. iMr. Maign’s eulogy of Miss Mimter’s bravery was inspired by her performance of the big thrill stunt oVf the picture, in which she slips tt'rom a fallen tree which lies across,a chasm and falls some twenty-^five or thirty feet into a pool and vthe rapids of the stream below. A double had bet?n provided to do this perilous dropt. Tlie scene was made, and Mi&a Minter, watching from the sidefijnes, ex claimed: “That doesn’t took so bad. If he can do it, I can, 1^00!” At her insistence, Director Maigne agreed to let her make the drop. She took the plunge^ without wavering and the scene was made. “Now I can take pride in the fact that the work in the picture is my own,” she declared, after being rescued from the swirling rapids. Miss Minter’s portrayal of her role also involved some difficult horsemanship and other dangers attendant upon making scenes in the rough mountainous country chosen as the locale for the exterior. Timely Tips For The Home Gardener Just now is a most important time in the home vegetable gar den. There are the young tomato plants, the young peppers and eggplants to be transplanted and the cabbage and cauliflower to be looked after. All of these are much benefitted if they can be transplanted now in a good well pulverized soil that contains hu mus or decayed vegetable matter so that the young roots will not dry out nor the soil bake about them. F. E. McCall, extension Garden Specialist for the State College and State Department of Agriculture, says that these things should receive attention at once.
