Mghtful dances ever experienced in a succession ot interesting amusing affairs when their April party was staged Monday night in the Eagles mil. Tim rhymed invitations, sent out last week bidding the members to a "Summer Picnic dance, gave the first hint of the cleverly arranged event in store ior mem wit no ami clpatlons could have possibly come up to tho actual entertainment in store tor the Arcadians.

James G. Freshour headed tho committee in Charge, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Charavay, Mr. end Mrs.

CBrlyle Uh rig and Dr. and Mrs. S. C. Phil brook.

The dancers arrived last night with unusual promptness, everybody afraid they might miss something, Upon entering the hall hey were confronted by a regular hotel desk above which a. sign proclaimed "Arcadia Grand Hotel." Mr. ant! Mrs, Charavay were at the desk, the former acting as clerk and demanding each entrant to register. Hat racks were provided for checking wraps with Dr. Phttbrook, Dr.

Fresh our and Mr. Unrig, attired in white uniforms and wearing tiny caps, noting as bellhops while (heir wives were dressed as chic French maids. James Brooks Johnson made a fire house detective who reputed all sorts of various trouble with the guests during the evening, Each woman guest brought a picnic basket which, when checked, was recognized by tiny paper rabbits as checks. Tables were laid lor 80 in the club lounge with baskets at every other place when refreshments were served. The first three dances were open, while each of the nine to follow were supervised, each being more fun than the last.

In a "line" dance, the men and women chese partners as they marched past each other; paper chickens bearing a man's name on each served as a means of finding a partner for another number, as did colored Easter eggs on which were the names of the various men. In a broom dance, milk bottle caps were distributed bearing the picture of a broom on one side and upon the other an appropriate couplet containing the first name of the men and some "No wonder the Screen Stats are so enthusiastic!" says Betty Greene New York To be successful on the screen, you must have lovely skin, Significant that Hollywood staTs overwhelmingly prefer this simplB complexion care fragrant, white Lux Toilet Soap I Betty Greene of New York has found the reason why.

Pieces of a Jig saw puzzle wore fitted to gether to discover partners for an otner Dance; a nouse number aame furnished much fun as did a radio star and a wheel of fortune when numbers were matched and partners danced until they wore eliminated by their numeral showing up when the wheel stopped. A prize was given for the couple remaining lonjest, on the floor, Mrs. J.

J. Tafei and Dr. Freshour receiving "depression canaries" as trophies, whioh proved to be Jive baby chicks. When partners were announced over the radio for tile last dance, a sign of regret went up that all good things must come to an end and when the group separated It was with the feeling that they had en. joyed one of the most unusual dances ever presented in Plqua.

The two stations form the ouly Installations in tho world regularly working on ultra short waves, In this case of 0.60 meters. The Vatican telephone system, which is one of tho most up to date in tlta world was installed a gift to the Pope by tho International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation of New York. His Holiness has a special telephone receiver in chased gold and enamel wllh his coat of arms. The system can handle 600 numbers, but only 400 are, in use.

For its size, Vatican City has more telephones per head than any state in the world. The Vatican City railroad is some 1,600 feet long, but the station Is of an elaborate nature. It has a handsome sweeping curved pUt form and inside a huge reception or waitlng rcom. The "yards" for the rolling stock are built Into the specially constructed tunnel which runs Into Observatory hill. The Vatican line joips the Italian state railroad at St.

The line Into Vatican City Is closed by an iron gate only opeaed when a train passes into Vatican City. It Is understood that the line only will be for the Pope, or his distinguished guests.
