"Strictly Dishonorable," nnd Pembcrton produced it, they i Cetebnfe mt NtwUn. Smporia made si grand showing Thursday at the opening of the new Santa Fe station at Newton. More than 200 Emporia business men and their wives, Santa Fe employes and the American Legion Drum and Bugle corps were In the delegation which rode special train to Newton Thursday morning to attend the formal opening celebration. A day's program ot speeches, parading nnd other kinds entertainment was offered Thursday by the Newton Chamber of Commerce to show Newton's appreciation of its new railroad building.

Thousands of visitors were in Newton to inspect the recently completed station and enjoy the program of entertainment. The Emporia special train arrived in Newton in time for the Emporia delegation to take its place in the parade which was at 10 o'clock. Emporia was well represented in the procession. The American Legion Drum and Bugle corps which was the outstanding musical organization at, the celebration, led the Emporia section. Following spcnsored a play that they knew would, with the normal amount of gccd fortune meet success before American theater audiences because, as Mr.

Pemberton says, it is made from that most sure-fire of all dramatic recipes, the Cinderella theme, it deals with the theme unusually, interestingly, and with a daring deftness that makes the theatergoers catch their breaths occasionally, only to decide that, after all, there is no reason for them to 'be shocked. Small wonder, then, that "Strictly Dishonorable" is now pleasing houses in New York for its Escond year. It. certainly pleased one at the Shubert thecter last night. The story is that of Isabelle Parry, the pretty ycunff daughter of an impoverished Mississippi cotton raiser, who crimes to New Jersey to marry a typically small town, narrow-minded young chap who thinks he is doing a great favor to any pirl by showing er the least amount of his attention.

She meets, for instance, a congenial philosophical old judge, who is net above taking a Crink in his leisure moments. The "speakeasy" pro- pretcr she finds to be a genial soul whcse mind is more cr.crossed with locking after the affairs of an opera singer who rooms at his place than in selling what has sometimes been laughingly referred to as "light "wines Mid bscr." Finally there Is ths cpcra singer, himself, a gentleman whcm most impressionable the drum corps, the Emporia color guard of O. M.

Wilnite, Clayton Patterson, J. C. Gladfelter and Frank Lostutter. The guard carried the American flag and the Emporia flag. The Women's auxiliaries to the Big Four Brotherhoods were next in line and more persons marched In the Emporia women's section than were in any other division of the parade.

Every group carried signs inviting the Santa Fe employes to come to Emporia for the Santa Fe picnic in 1931. Almost 25 members of the Chamber of Commerce marched in the line. Two members of the Emporia chapter of the United Commercial Travelers were in Newton and Joined the Chamber of Commerce section. The float, which was built by Emporia professional decorators and members of the Big Four Broth- jrhoods, -completed the Emporia section of the procession. Applause came from the crowd as the big red, white, blue nnd green float moved down.the street.

The float represent the spirit of cooperation which exists between Emporia business men and the Santa Fe railroad. HJcny Floats in Parade.

City commissioners plan to build a nsw dog pound. They agree that the new kennels should have been built a Ion? time ago, but that the work has been delayed because no one has pressed the need for the new kennels. Cart Dabbs, of the Mit-Way hotel, complained Tuesday. Dabhe said that guests at the hotel hang a "Do Not Disturb" card on their doors as a sign that they want peace and quiet. Then the dogs in the city's pound across the alley start howling.

"They bark all day and how! all night," Dabbs said. He said the doggy serenade had been constant since last Friday and that roomers at the hotel were kJcklns. The city commission listened to Dabbs. Then Mayor C. A.

Bishop told the city clerk to call D. P. Cowan, chief of police. Bishop wanted Cowan to hear Dabbs' complaint. The commissioners and Cowan agreed that something should be done, and it was agreed to move the dog pound from the corner of the city building to the city dump on East Eighteenth near the Katy tracks.

Cowan suggested that n. dog house, 12 by 16 feet, be built of sheet iron. Mayor Bishop added that partitions should be built to the big dogs from chewing up the little dogs. Finance Commissioner Peach, In the Interests of city economy, suggested that the city buy 25 chains and collars and use empty barrels as kennels. His plan was rejected.

Commissioner W. J. Reynolds pointed out that the cost of ft building would come out of the park or police funds anyway. O. L.

Isaacs, city. attorney, agreed, saying that the pound could be called a zoo lo give it a legnl classification for the park fund. Finally, it was agreed that Cowan should consult a carpenter and get an estimate on the cost of building: a sheet Iron dog shack. One is needed that will hold the dogs for 100 hours, after which they will face a firing sqund unless Rome small boy happens along and releases the dogs by breaking the lock on the dog house door. years ago," aald the proud owner as he walked off toward a book bindery.
