“MV SOLDIER GlPL
IMPROVES WITH AGE
Evccllcnt Mus'cal Comedy Back After
a Year’s Absence Fresher Than
Ever—>Miss Walberg Splen
did.
The following c'ipping was taken
from the Wilmington Star:
There it always a doubt in the
minds of •theatre-goers as to the wis.
dom of going to see a show, particular
ly a musical comedy, if it comes back
again after a year's absence. But
Wilmington liked ‘‘My Soldier Girl”
well enough last year to take a
chance on i‘ again yesterday matinee
andnight at the Academy of Music.
Two capacity houses found bel'.er
than ever, fresher in stage equipment
and costuming larger in personnel,
and Miss' Gudrun Walberg even more
scintilatingly chaming.
Most otfhc caat'ef a year ago were
back, wi.h the exception of the male
membera, who are “somewhere in
France.” There are more men in the
chorus this year, which gives it a/
stronger vocal back ground. Miss
Walberg has as a dancing partner this'
year Lawence Ackeiind, who is more
ogile of limb and more graceful than
her opposite of a year ago.
Tho runaway over the audience la
still a feature of I'Jhe piece, and the
clever flirtaations of Miss Walberg
with members of her audience was
again the source of prolonged ap
plause. Her firjT. appearance before
the footlights after the stow began
was greeted with a round of applause
that grew as the performance develop
ed, to an ovation when the curtain
dropped on the finale.
The whole cast was good. They
•have new 1 clothes this year , new
scenery to display them before, and
the manager has a competent eye to
feminine charms “Ricketts," the
loquaclouscal boy of the folliet.' chor
us, is ba.ck again. more loquacious
ever. The peiece has a new “Colonel
Stone” who is as good as the last yeat
colonel. Taken altogether the show
wm a great improvement on itself a
year ago.

The 187th anniversary of George
Washington’s oirthday is being cele
brated today. Washington, tihe suc
cessful builder of a nation, gave voice
to rules for personal and national sue
cess which are a« applicable in 1919
year of neces^arJrThrifl as in his day.
Here are some df bis words on i:he
use of money arid rescurces that
might have been written for the pre
sent situation in Afertca.
1 am no more disposed to squander
'than to stint
Economy makes homes and sound
nations. Instill it deep
it is not the lowest priced goods
that are always the t/betapest.
I cannot enjoin too f>1rong!y upon
you a, due observance of economy and
frugality.
Keep an account book and enter
therein every fa.*.hing of your receipts
and expenditures.
Promote frugality and industry by ex
ample, encourage n^nufacteurers. and
avoid dissipation.
Reason, too Die perhaps, may con
vince you of Ihe folly of misspending
time.
There Is no poverb in the whole cat
alogue of them more true than a
penny saved is ai penny got.
N« hing but harmony, honesty, in
dustry, and frugality are necessary to
make us a great and happy nation.
These statemenls by George Wash-
ngten as to wies persona! economy
I might be paraphrased today in the
injunction of the National Thrift
Campaign—spend wisely, save intelll
gently, avoir waste—and invest safe

riBET OPEN TO CHRISTIANS
Officials Havs Invited Mlasienarlss ts
Enter Frealy Into ths “For.
bidden Land."
Those disciples of Christ who Inter
est themselves in forelpn missions are
aroused over an Invitatlou coming to
American disciples from Tibet, accord
ing to the Boston Evening Transcript.
This land, occupying the “roof of the
’world;" has-heretofore been practical
ly-closed to all foreigners. That it has
been<«o was due, so Tibet officials tell
American disciples,, to the influence
of Chiba. Now Tibet has thrown off
Chinese control and one of Its first acts
Is to appeal for Christian missionaries.
Thr disciples have a mission station
at Batarig, one of the farthest west cit
ies of China, nearly 3,000 miles up the
Yangato river.
: A venturesome American doctor,
sent out by the disciples, journeyed
18 days farther west, getting Into Ti
bet and Into a city wherein disease In
Its worst form, unattended and not un
derstood, ravaged the people. The
doctor set up an Impromptu clinic and
dispensary. Ths relief was so ‘ great
that one of the highest civic officials
In all Tibet begged him to stay, or If
he could not do so to return, build a
hospital and official Tibet would help
him.
Now the disciples argue that here la
a call they ar« not at liberty to Ignore.
Their missionary society has acted to
this effect. An appeal has been made
for four families, two of them phy
sician families, to go. It Is said there
are no hospitals, no churches, do
schools, no Christian agencies of any
kind in that country of 4,000,000 peo
ple. American manufactured goods
are beginning to reach Tibet and
Scotch whisky has been there for a
decade or two.

OLD BOXER DIES ON FIELD ,£
Dick Burge, Once Well Known in This
Country Met His Death Fight
ing in France.
Late Private Richard Burge of the
First Surrey rifles never was a quit
ter, and, despite the fact that he was
at the half century mark, he enlisted
and died the death of a soldier. He
was once the lightweight champion of
England, and was born December
1», 1805.
Dick Burge was a name well known
to the fight fans on both sides of the
Atlantic 20 years or so ago, chiefly
because of his remarkable battle with
Kid Lavigne for the lightweight cham
pionship of the world. Dick was sev
eral inches taller than the Saginaw
Kid, and he had a considerable ad
vantage in weight, but, much to his
surprise and that of the English fans,
he was knocked out in the seventeenth
round. He gave a good account of
himself before he fell, however, and
there were times when the Kid had
reason to fear that he had taken on
too good a man. After Burge quit the
ring he became a fight promoter. That
waa in 1900. He enlisted as a volun
teer In the British army in 1915 and
served with the colors for three years.

Rulers With Businsss Instincts.
At the outset of his Imperial career
the grandfather of the former German
kaiser, Frederick William, owed his
accumulation of money to bis com
mercial dealings. One of his commer
cial undertakings was to start milk-
rounds, which did exceedingly well, In
spite of being carried on sub rosa, for
the German courtiers found that the
imperial favor was dependent upon
their patronizing the imperial dairy.
In this way the old emperor created
a huge milk monopoly in various cities,
and reaped a correspondingly large
profit. Kaiser Wilhelm himself had
keen commercial instincts, and had s
finger In most of the big German un-
derfhkings. In Germany It was cur
rently reported that Ballln was mere
ly the figure-head of the North Ger
man Lloyd line of steamships, and
that tha kaiser was the . real man at ‘
the helm, and the asms thing waa said
of many other money-making con
cerns.
