"Protect Scenic Beauty" Plea of Women's Clubs In connection with the "Save the Beauty of America" program of the General Federation of Womens' clubs, a campaign has been launched for the restriction of landscape advertising. While the economic value of the bill and sign boards are recognized, it is contended that their utilization shou'd be restricted to localities where they do not injure rural or civic beauty. While the campaign is being actively waged it is nevertheless conservative in its policy. No attempt is being made to force advertisers to remove all of their signs but every effort is being made to gain their co-operation in re- stricting their use to commercial loca- tions, That much success has been achieved is shown by the fact that over 30 large corporations have agreed to aid in the proposition. KENTUCKY SOCIETY Members of the North Shore Ken- tucky Society wil! meet in the Wedg- wood room at Field's for luncheon Tuesday of next week.

The program is to consist of a one-act play, "A Night at an Inn," a mystery by Lord Dunsany, and an operetta, "Trial by Jury." "Between the thrills of suspense which the play promises to inspire, and the convulsions of laughter that the sight of Stan Sherman as the fair heroine of the operetta cannot fail to produce, the audience will have little to choose," it is said. The entire pro- gram is to be enacted and managed by .boys. The Boys' Glee Club has taken over the operetta, and the cast of the play will be made up of mem- bers of the Dramatic club. Whitfield Cook will coach the players, and Mrs. Homer E. Cotton has the distinction of being the only woman connected with the program. She will direct the musi- cal end of the entertainment. Even the customary girl venders of candy will be absent. Congregational Church to Hold Building Benefit Sale There is to be a White Elephant Sale at the Community House on May 4 and 5.
