Newsgravure and Magazine Section, THE JEFFERSONIAN, Tovvson, Md., March 22, 1024. "THE HOME" IN LOUVAIN. The burning of the Louvain Library was one of.the greatest losses which the world sustained in the Great War. Old records and priceless treasures which can never again be found on earth were destroyed in that fire. Americans have undertaken to rebuild the library. They are raising iui£is- for tne reconstruction of the ? fl i building and collecting books for its many stacks. One of the most important collections recently sent to Louvain is. a completed library of home economics, selected by Martha Van .Rensselaer, founder of the School of Home Economics at Cornell University and Editor of the Home-Making Department of a popular magazine. Home economics is taught in nearly every high school and woman's college in the United States. Europe is only beginning to give thought to this important subject. It is fitting that Martha Van Rensselaer, who has been elected America's greatest specialist in home economics, should be the pioneer to introduce this essential science to the Old "World. ----------o---------- THE COST OF CHARM. ! v I ] Serves you right To your delight TROY Wet Wash Laundry 3101 KATE AVE.

We hear this plaint—or complaint —annually. I ? t I I In meeting the needs of the average person, one looks to fruits and vegetables for bulk, iron and other minerals, and for vitamins—especially vitamins B and C. This does not mean that fruits and vegetables do not contain other materials, such as starch and protein, but rather that they supply the first substances mentioned in more abundance than do most other foods. Tomatoes, citrous fruits and almost all vgetables are rich in vitamins B and C. It is important to remember, however, that vitamin C is somewhat destroyed by heat; hence as many fruits and vegetables as possible should be eaten raw, provided they do not contain starch or much coarse fibre. Cabbage is especially valuable uncooked because it is very digestible and nutritious in that condition and because its juicy crisp-texture is particularly acceptable during the winter months when succulence is difficult to obtain. the human problems of ordinary folks the big interests of his life. He was asked how many children he had. He replied, "Three," then smiled understanding^ and added: "But that's a man's answer I've Just given you. If you- ask a man how many children he has, he will say, for instance, 'I have three.' If you ask his wife, she will say, 'I have four. One is dead.' To most fathers, their children are just people— sons and daughters; but to mothers, they are souls, and souls never die." ----------o---------- BOULEVARD OFFERS EXCEPTIONAL PROGRAM IN MOVIES.

Cecelia (Cissie) Loftus, who returns to the American stage in a repertoire of imitations, is no newcomer to this country. In fact, her first visit was at the age of six, when she traveled with her mother, Marie Loftus, the famous music hall "single" headliner of the period. This was in the early eighties. Later she came over as Mrs. Justin Huntley McCarthy as a dramatic star, and as a vaudeville headliner. Her career has been singularly distinguished, for she has won fame in drama, in light opera and in the varieties. Miss Loftus was born in Glasgow October 22, 1876. She came of a famous theatrical family, many .of who have w~:~:~:~:~k«^kkkkkkk~:"H"HK^^^ » > > > Arcady Feed for Poultry. COAL Lutherville, Md, Telephone, Towson 443 With the matinee Monday, the second and final week of the return engagement of "The Covered Wagon" will begin. It seemingly is impossible to satisfy public interest in this film if one may judge by the immense patronage that is being accorded it. This photoplay accurately pictur-izes the hardships and perils attendant on the journey of the pioneers of 1848 through trackless country on the way from Westport Landing (Kansas City) to Oregon. Here is historyjassociated with entertainment. One must experience a thrill as they follow the course of the great train of covered wagons, realizing what this 2000 mile task meant to those courageous men and women who undertook it. Excitement is amply supplied in the episodes of the buffalo hunt, the attack On the pioneer's train by Indians and the prairie fire. Real genius has been shown by James Cruze in his transference to the screen of Emerson Hough's fine narrative. Romance is also an element and Lois Wilson and J. Warren Kerrigan are seen as the two young lovers around whom the story revolves, and Ernest Torrence's portrayal of the bearded old plainsmen will live forever in the memory of those seeing it. ACADEMY OF MUSIC. Contrary to previous announcement the play to be presented by Stuart Walker's Baltimore Repertory Company for the seventh week of their season, beginning Monday night, will not be Smilin' Through, but "The Storm Bird," a play in three acts by Dion Clayton Calthrop and Roland Pertwee. Stuart Walker made this change of program in the desire to give to Baltimore playgoers a certain number* of absolutely new productions and thus fulfill the promise made on a flying visit to this city just prior to his actual coming here. Thus Baltimore will have the privilege next week of witnessing a most delightful clever play which even New York and London have not seen, but which Mr. Walker has already produced both in Indianapolis and Cinciniati and with such success that the astute young manager promptly secured for himself the entire rights to this charming comedy. The storm Bird is the work of two prominent English writers, Dion Clayton Calthrop is a decsendant of I !

Dion Bpucicault and of Clayton, two of England's most famous actors, and he has won an enviable name for himself as a writer, both independently and in collaboration with Granville Barker and others. Roland Pert-wee needs no introduction as his stories in the Saturday Evening Post alone have made him one of the most popular writers of today. The Storm Bird tells a story that combines romance, comedy and mystery. The play opens during the birthday party of a young English girl. There is a terrible storm outside, and out of it, seeking shelter, comes a young man wearing only a track suit. He is bade welcome and claims to be Lord Merrichamp, though no one present can place him. While he is in the house, a valuable necklace is stolen, and, as naturally follows, the stranger is accused of the theft. It then becomes his task to clear himself, and the manner in which he unravels the mystery and establishes his identity as well as winning a sweetheart, is told in a highly amusing and interesting manner. The play has been produced under the direction of Stuart Walker. McKay Morris will be the mysterious young man in the track suit. Lord Merrichamp; and Julia Hoyt the young woman whom he wins, Yseult Tetson. Others who will be prominent in the long cast are Ruth Hammond, Julia MacMahon, Beulah Bondi, Carolyn Ferriday, L'Estrange Millman, William Evarts, Lewis McMichael, William Murray, Bryan Higgins and Stuart Brown.
