A national convention of women will be held in Chicago June 13, to prepare to serve notice on both Republican and Democratic parties in convention there, warning against inclusion of a plank | in their party platforms advocating a ehange in the prohibition laws.

JIMMY LAKE, the maestro of bur- lesque, has one of the best all- around shows of the Ninth street season this week, with comedy, songs and dances and pretty girls in abun- dance.

Fields and Call2han put over some very good ~omedy skits, aided by Harry Steppe and Jimmie Dugan, with the clever Lew Fields enacting the part of the straight man. Jeannette Alabassi and Ray Parsons and the little sou- brette, Buddy Nichols, add to the entertainment. Rae and Gertie Reed, who sing and dance in their usual pleasing manner, are seen to special advan- tage in a well played Spanish scene.

Forty members of the Appalachian Trail Club are on s two-day excursion into a picturesque region of the heart | of the Alleghenies in Pendleton County, W. Va, within the limits of the Shen- andoah and Monongahela National Forests. The specific objectives were Bpruce Knob and Seneca Rocks. In this reglon, according to Jewell J. Glass of the United States Geo- logical SBurvey, a member of the club, “nature has sculptured an imposing landscape consisting of a continuous succession of parallel mountain high and sharp, separated by narrow valleys carved out by the branches of the Potomac River. “The impressive ruggedness of the region,” he explained, “is due largely to the intense folding and warping of the anclent strata. These rocks afford a geological record from early Silurian to late Carboniferous time. The most conspicuous of these formations is the ‘Tuscarora quartzite, a hard, snowy white rock which rises vertically along the sharp, jagged crests of the ridges. It is notably exhibited in the superb arch in the gorge cut through North Fork Mountain by the North Fork of | the Potomac, where the cliffs rise to nearly 400 feet above the river. “‘Another striking and more beau- tiful exposure occurs at the famous ‘Rocks of Seneca,’ opposite the mouth of Seneca Creek, where vertical walls of white quartzite tower to a height of 00 feet above the river wats Additional Specials in the D.
