THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND Saturday, September 20, 1924—Page 5 LUKE PEARSON, "JEFF'S' PRINTERS' DEVIL, BAGS ' "MISSING LINK." 1,119 ENROLLED. Critter Shot In Tall Hickory Has Local Sportsmen Puzzled— Finds Prize Package While Hunting For Squirrels. Registration At Normal School Largest In Institution's History. (Continued from Page 1) rels for hours without even the sight of one, "Luke" sat on the exposed roots of a large tree, propped his back comfortably against the trunk and was soon in the "land of nod." Abruptly he was awakened by the rustling of leaves overhead and, rubbing his eyes, beheld a queer looking critter, shaking as a young Chimpaneze doing its morning exercise. Sighting along his full-cocked barrel, "Luke" pulled the trigger— through the blaze of smoke a heavy form came toppling down, and, according to "Luke's" own words, it sounded like a bear when it landed at his feet. Thinking perhaps his co-workers at the "Jeff" plant would doubt his integrity "Luke" brought the critter to Towson, where local hunters pronounced it the most unusual and peculiar specimen of squirrel they had ever seen. Of the "cat" variety, the animal was about twice the size of an ordinary squirrel, its distinctive mark being that stretching from its head back to its tail the fur was of a rich raccoon variety, the tail being long and fluffy. The lower part of the body from head back and including the legs showed a sleek satin in black. The animal had the appearance of being a cross between a raccoon and a cat. All "Luke" can say about his a-1-1—we-e-e-e-11 I'll say it after a-iri—we-le-e-e-11 I'll say it after while." * SPENDING VACATION IN WEST. Mr. Maurice R.

MORE MONEY SOUGHT Over 3000 Requests Made In Metropolitan District For Water. More than 3000 requests for city water connections having been received by the Water Department from residents of the metropolitan district in Baltimore county created by the last General Assembly, V. Barnard Siems, Water Engineer, has requested the Board of Estimates to set aside the payments for such connection as a revolving fund from which to continue the work. The labor fund of the Water Department, Siems said, is being exhausted from expenditures on work done on the metropolitan district, with the result that work in the city is being threatened through lack of funds. The Board granted the request. Under the metropolitan district act passed by the last General Assembly the city is directed to furnish water and sewerage connection to residents of the district, the cost of such connections to be paid by those seeking them. The object of the act was to obtain city improvements for a large area of Baltimore county just north of Baltimore city. WILL MOVE TO NEW YORK Twice Daily: 2.15 and 8.15.

"The Thief of Bagdad" is, according to all accounts, a glorious fantasy of the Arabian Nights. In it the agile Doug leads the way through the winding streets of Bagdad, past the far-famed bazaars, stopping long enough to pick up a string of pearls, or a gorgeous robe; down into the den of thieves, and then over the palace walls into the boudoir of the beauteous Princess of Bagdad; a journey over the desert to the Old Man of the Sea; a descent to the bottom of the sea, and then up to the Citadel of the Moon; a Winged Horse, a Silver Wishing Box, a Golden Apple with the secret of life in its core, and then to the Caliph's palace again. Greatest of all is the adventure which lies in the Magic Carpet on which the Thief and the Princess soar over the house-tops. The glamour and thrills that came with a childhood reading of the "Arabian Nights" are doubled in "The Thief of Bagdad." It is said to be a remarkable visualization of the glories of Old Bagdad, with nothing to mar the beauty or to weaken the intensity of the fantasy. The fantastic spirit of the thing is carried out to the smallest detail. "The Thief of Bagdad" will positively not be shown in any other theater in Baltimore this year. ----------o---------- BOULEVARD CELEBRATES 3RD ANNIVERSARY.
