HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS ! PRESENT 'STOP THIEF' WITH GREAT SUCCESS

Refreshingly fa3t and humorous was the presentation of "Stop Thief," by members cf the senior class of high f-chool, in the Washington theatre matinee and night, Tuesday. Not a character failed to And the spirit of the three act farce, and from the bewildering array of incidents

tangling the threads of the theme, glowed the smartly interpreted lines i

and pantonine of the youthful actors. It s all about a wedding, two thieves who are "nulline their last job, and a

groom and father-in-law to be, both of

whom believe they hare very ftrong klPDtomaniac tendencies. This latter

belief is encouraged and flayed upon .

by the two clever crooks, and the results are convulsing. Like all good plays, the ending is so happy that the sorrows and disappointments which crowd upon one another in the action preceding Is all forgotten. Good Talent Shown. To thofe who witnessed Tuesday the climax in the school dramatic career of those seniors, it was apparent that tome of the best talent which has ap

peared in senior plays i3 to be lost. The work or Mildred Whiteley as Nell, lh maid, working in conjunction with Wilfred Jessup (Jack Doogan) was professional. Both were crooks, and splendid ones. Mr. Jessup's manner of handling difficult situations was polished. Harold Sanford. portraying the character of one who believes himself a victim of kleptomania, was not to be improved upon. Keifer Calkins, enacting the role of a kindly old fellow whose greatest sin was the art of misplacing his family's valuables and his wife's ear trumpet in particular, then completely forgetting about them, appeared fully acquainted with the at

mosphere in which h played. Benita Monarch, his wife, was a strong support. The two were an admirable old coupl with troubles beyond the patience of the most seren. All Do Good Work. Dr. Willoughby (John Livingstone) was great. Joan Carr (Wilma Sudhoff). the bride, did excellent work Mr. Jamieson (Frank Crowe). Rev. Mr. Spevain (Roland Loehr), Joe Thompson (Harold Stamback) and Madge Carr (Gertrude Williams) were other important characters and able performers. The remainder of the cast included Caroline Carr (Lorraine Long), Dorothy Carr (Martha Hol-cc-mb). Sergeant of police (Robert Evans), policemen O'Malley. O'Brien, Otency and Casey (Robert Reid. Marion Zuttermeister, Edwin Ross and Orville Clark). Frank Dressel was the chauffeur. Special mention and commendation should go to Coaches W. G. Bate and H. F. faggart; business manager, T. O. Cantwell; advertising managers, Blanche Wait and H. F. Ross; property man, Norman Hoeffer, and Miss Anna L. Flnfrock. who was in charge of costumes. MARVIN.

EX-SOLDIER RECEIVES . BOX MAILED IN 1919 TOLEDO, O.. June 15. Robert Carrithers, once lieutenant of United States marines In San Domingo, received a package of food recently on his first wedding anniversary that, through the mails, had unsuccessfully chased him around the globe for two years. Just two years ago, Mrs. E. G. Carrithers of Sullivan, Ind., Postmaster General Hayes home town, mailed to her son Robert, then a lieutenant of marines in San Domingo, a parcel containing candy, victrpla records, and other comforts. The parcel got to San Domingo, but Carrithers had left. It followed him here and there, finally ending up at Sullivan. Mrs. Carrithers, on opening the package, found its contents in fair condition, and sent it on to her son, It arriving on his first wedding anniversary.

AMERICAN INDIANS INCREASE IN NUMBER;

LIVING CLEANER LIVES!

(Br Associata.3 Pres ST. PAUL, Minn.. June 15. The American Indians are not decreasing in numbers, according to Dr. Elmer E. Higley, of Des Moines, who was recently appointed superintendent of Indian "work of the Methodist Episcopal church, who is here attending the conference of American Indian missionaries. "There are more han one-third of a million Indians in the United States."

added Rev. Higley. "and fifty-seven J

distinct languages are spoken. "A survey among the Indians has just recently been made by the Centenary officials and shows that not

only the full blooded Indians are increasing, but also the mixed bloods, with better homes, medical attention, and better care of Indian babies and with the missionaries taking the gospsl of soap, sanitation and salvation, the increase of the number of Indians will continue. Tuberculosis Prevails. "Two-thirds cannot understand the American language. Thirteen percent

of the Indians are afflicted with tuber-1

culosis, and 80.000 suffer from trachoma. Three out of every five Indian children die before the age of five years. "There are 40 Protestant missionaries and 275 Catholic, with 616 church buildings with a membership .of 42,000 Protestants and 51,000 Catholics. "Fully two-thirds of the whole Indian population is yet without gospel privileges whatever, either Protestant or Catholic. The Methodist centenary program plans large enterprises among the red men."

TRIPLE PERSONALITY EXISTS ARGUES NEW GREEK INTELLECTUAL (Bv -Associated Press) CONSTANTINOPLE, June 15.A new gospel of health, that man Is not

i cne but three, and that he cannot function fully until his three personalities are in barmonj', has come here from j the Middle East on the tide of Russian and other refugees from far counj tries.

; small, dark man of mystery, a Greek .Tartar, G. I. Gurdjieff. He has contributed to the meager intellectual life

of the city a new factor. The outward and primary form of his teachings begins with dances borrowed from the Mosques of Persia and the temples of India. He puts some of his patients on bread and water for months at a time but requires them, all the while, to earnon the most violent exercises which conform to the music of a piano. Gurdjieff's teachings have some

similarity with the ancient Greek con

ceptions of the development of mental

" force and bodily grace and activity. ! A.,tJ I ...

He is persuaded that his teachings will change the art of living. He has gathered about him a group of converts who say they are going to spread his theories westward, some going to the United States. He savs

that he was taught by Russian! physicians and psychologists. "In harmony there is health," declared Gurdjieff. "The western world of medicine and psychology has never grasped the truth that man is not controlled by one personality, but by three, and when these three are not in harmony a man says he is 'sick.' A sick man, a man with that tired feeling, is like a horse and carriage without a driver. The man is not master of himself. "Civilization has led man away from himself, physically and spiritually. Too much use of the head has deharmonlzed him. Man is composed of three parts, just like a machine. One part thinks, one feels, and one eat3 and sleeps. If man thinks too much.

or eats too much, or sleeps too much, he falls ill. "My plan is to first put the three

back into a common unity, and then j gradually develop a fourth personality; which controls the other three. If: this fourth personality or dominating ,

consciousness is not developed, the Chirata Btismess Man three men in the same body never B-il',llccs0 Business man

tabllsh contact with each other, and the anarchy we call sickness destroys him."

HOARDED GOLD APPEARS IN ENGLISH CIRCULATION LONDON", June 15. The widespread destitution caused by unemployment here Is bringing out the gold hoarded by many persons in more prosperous times. There has teen a
