AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF 
MANCHESTER 
The comrades of Allen Post 67, 
G. A. R., the ladies of the Women’s 
Relief Corps and the Sons of Vet- 
erans of Manchester desire to call 
to the attention of the patriotic and 
thoughtful people of this community 
a resolution submitted at the last 
National Convention of the Wo- 
man’s Relief Corps and which met 
with their hearty approval, in which 
they plead for the continued re- 
membrance and the maintenance of 
appropriate services in honor of 
those who gave their lives for their 
country’s cause. Let every one then 
aid and promote the sentiments as 
expressed in the following resolu- 
tion: 
‘“‘Resolved that the Women’s Re- 
lief Corps disapprove of the dese- 
eration of Memorial Day and call 
upon all local corps wherever pos- 
gible to endeavor to have all sports, 
games and other amusements which 
detract from the sacredness of the 
day, abolished in so far as they can 
make their influence felt towards 
that desirable end.”’

Boys’ Lecture at Manchester Town 
Hall 
About 60 boys were entertained 
at the Manchester Town hall, Thurs- 
day evening by E. W. Frentz of 
Boston, Mr. Freiman being unable 
to come. Mr. Frentz spoke about 
archery and the making of bows 
and arrows. Following closely 
after the club, he said the bow was 
probably the earliest of weapons 
being used in all parts of the globe 
in some form or other. Mr. Frentz 
corrected the erroneous impression 
that our American Indian was the 
best marksman with the bow by 
stating that the English with their 
long bows were much more skillful. 
This was probably due, he said, to 
the fact the Indian used most any 
piece of wood of the right size for 
a bow and had no tools to shape it 
with. The English bows and the 
ones used now in the sport were 
carefully made from selected yew 
“wood nicely shaped and _ finished, 
the present day bow being about 
6 feet long made of two pieces of 
wood spliced in the middle and tap-

‘‘The citizen that buys his local paper

The arrows used for target shoot- 
ing are made of hard pine with a 
tip of some harder wood such as 
rose wood or ironwood spliced on 
to it. The heavier arrows used in 
hunting are made from ash and 
have a loaded tip. To show the 
power of the bow Mr. Frentz shot 
an arrow at a small board about 
twenty feet distant piercing it and 
splitting it in two. He also stated 
that the bow, which took a pull of 
50 pounds to use, with a steel tip- 
ped arrow could pierce a deer or 
man at 40 yards. Among the inter- 
esting things he brought to show 
the boys was a bow taken from a 
dead Yaki chief a tribe of Mexican 
Indians. He also showed flint ar- 
row heads of our North American 
Indians, Japanese arrows made 
from reeds, or rice stalks, Indian 
arrows tipped with ironwood, a 
Chinese arrow used in the last Box- 
er uprising and others from India 
and Africa.

B. F. Keith’s Theatre. 
Carter DeHaven and his charm- 
ing wife, Flora Parker, late features 
of Lew Fields’ spectacular musical 
panorama, ‘‘ All Aboard,’’ will head 
the bill at B. F. Keith’s Theatre 
next week. It has been something 
like five years since Carter De- 
IIaven appeared in vaudeville in 
Boston. He starred with tremend- 
ous success in ‘‘The Girl in the 
Taxi’? and many other musical 
shows, and in Miss Parker he has a 
partner who makes a charming foil 
for the songs and dances. They 
will appear in a brilliant series of 
original character songs written 
especially for them, interspersed 
with lively dances. Walter S. 
‘“‘Rube’’ Dickinson, the ex-justice 
of the peace, and without question 
the foremost rube monologuist on 
the stage to-day, will appear with 
his latest collection of stories and 
songs, which are bound to draw 
tears of laughter from a wooden 
Indian. 
Beginning Monday April 13, 1914, 
two additional round trips will be 
added to the York Harbor and Beach 
Railroad service, leaving Portsmouth 
for York Beach at 10.55 A. M. and 
2.55 P. M. and returning from York 
Beach at 12.55 and 4.00 P. M.
