NATIONAL FOREST ON MOUNT 
MOOSILAUKEE 
By approving the purchase of three 
new tracts, one in New Hampshire, 
one in Tennessee, and one in North 
Carolina, the national forest reser- 
vation commission has shown that the 
work of adding to the government’s 
holdings for the protection of navig- 
able waters is to go steadily forward. 
The first purchase was made in I9QI1I, 
when Secretary of War Stimson, Sec- 
retary of the Interior Fisher, and Sec- 
retary of Agriculture Wilson repre- 
sented the executive branch of the 
government on the commission with 
Senators Gallinger of New Hamp- 
shire and Smith of Maryland and 
Congressmen Lee of Georgia and 
Hawley of Oregon representing the 
legislative branch. 
Under the law creating the commis- 
sion the three secretaries named above 
were automatically replaced on March 
_ 4 by their successors, Secretaries Gar- 
rison, Lane and Houston. The sena- 
tors and congressmen remain unchang- 
ed. The new board has added 72,000 
acres to the total previously approved 
for purchase. 
Of the three tracts added New Eng- 
land is especially interested in the New 
Hampshire one. It is in the White 
Mountains and its forests protect the 
headwaters of the Connecticut River. 
The tract covers 7,500 acres on the 
western slope of Mount Moosilaukee, 
one of the most prominent and best 
known peaks in the region. 
In part the tract is covered with vir- 
gin spruce forest. Another part has a 
valuable stand of mixed spruce and 
hardwoods on lands which were cut 
over 75 years ago, while a third por- 
tion of the area contains lands which 
have been partially cut over in more 
recent years. 
With the approval of this tract the 
total acreage for federal forests in the 
White Mountains will amount to some 
90,000 acres. Altogether the forest 
lands in the Fast, approved for pur- 
chase under the Weeks law, comprise 
about 500,000 acres, made up, in ad- 
dition to the White Mountain area, of 
various tracts in the Mountains of 
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, 
and Georgia.

NEPTUNE’S GARDEN OF LIVING STAT- 
uES At B. F. Kerru’s THEATRE. 
The most mystifying and sensation- 
al aquatic novelty ever staged in 
vaudeville is announced for B. F., 
Keith’s Theatre next week in ‘“Nep- 
tune’s Garden of Living Statues,” a 
brilliant and beautiful water spectacle. 
This unique novelty serves to intro- 
duce a company of twenty dancers, 
divers, models, water nymphs, and 
pantomimists, headed by the Spanish 
mimes, Signor Carlo Casetta and Sig- 
norina Lilian Lestora, in their wierd 
and startling’ “La Danse Dementia.” 
The scene of the remarkable spectacle 
is laid in a beautiful garden. In the 
centre of the garden is an enchanted 
pool of real water. In this beauti- 
ful setting is enacted the legend of 
Neptune’s Garden, and in the course 
of the spectacle are introduced the 
beautiful statues in the garden of the 
Water God. The mysterious fountain 
that arises from the bottomless en- 
chanted pool; the drowning of the in- 
terloper in the struggle for the Nere- 
ida charm; the awakening of the 
statues and the lure of the enchanted 
pool; the Spirit of Amphitrite; and 
the Nereids arising from the water 
of the bottomless enchanted pool at 
the command of Amphitrite. This 
last feature, by means of which a 
troupe of twenty beautiful water 
nymphs are summoned from _ the 
depths of the pool at the command of 
their queen, is both startling and mys- 
tifying. 
This wonderful water spectacle will 
be surrounded by a great bill of all- 
star vaudeville.
