Mooney, chairman of the committee in charge of the entertainment, issued a request that soldiers and sailors wear their uniforms.

On Wednesday 'and Thursday' evenings it will be presented at the Elm wood Music hall, and on Friday night, at the Sixty-fifth armory. Saturday night it will be at the Seventy-fourth.

ELEPHANT DEAN CLAIMS TO BE EARTH'S BIGGEST PATRIOT "Snyder, the tusker." is an elephant and a very large elephant at that: Animal men with the Seils-Floto circm claim that Snyder the largest ele phanfr in the world since the killing the Hagenbeck beastn in the great zw at Hamburg in llunland.

At JJttle Rock, laa October, Snyder and his fellows of th Sells-Floto three herds, carried tht loan banners in the two-mile parad for the late former Vice-Prefiiden Fairbanks, who consented to ride a the head of the long line of elephanU in a Liberty loan car.

Mr. Fairbank; was speaking for the loan in the cityV that day. As Snyder is the dean of th herds, he took all the credit lor twr and only the other day he gave Floto' the ninth elephant in the line, an awful bawling out for mentioning th time "we helped out the former Vice-President."

If you will go down into a deep well or the open shaft of a deep mine and look up at the sky, of which you can see a circular patch at the top of the well, you will be able to see the stars in the daytime.

The moon also shines in the daytime, on some part of the earth. At certain times during the month you ean notice that the moon rises before the sun sets, and sometime in the morning you can still see the moon in the ky after the sun is Usually you cannot see either the moon or the stars in the daytime, because the link Inn ii i)nt strong that the light of the start? and moon are lost in the brightnes of the sun's rays. When the moorl is visible before the sun sets or aft4 the lun has risen it is because tht light of the sun i not so bright and strong at' the beginning or close of daylight. If yw are fortunate' enough sometime to witness total clips of the sun you will be able te see the stars in day time without going down into deep well er mine shaft. An interesting end unusual question is answered each day.
