At the PLAY HOUSES


''Texas" at the Krug.
Texas" is a play in which the dust Of
the alkaf plains Is strong, with the great
sunlit mesas Of that glorious land OF out
of-doors stretching away in magnificent
vistas. and the wealth of freedom OF
manners and morals that go with the
background. 1t has been conceived along
conventional lines. but it's working out

his role on that of Trampas. evidently hav-

Mabel Dixey is the Texas of the cast,

Dalam, with Mr.. Grimm make up the actins

long cast lacks in the force that marks
this trio as actors OF ability.
The play is beautifully staged, and the
story It tells is one of suficient interest
to hold the auditor through Its unfolding

WOMAN IA CLUB AND CHARITY

The increasing demand for the one
study program is one Of the most crafty
ing developments of the Womans club.
The strenuous method once so general OF
combining a dozen subjects in one years
outline and then devoting one meeting to
a subject worthy of years of study Is
happily going out of favor. In their pro-
gram outlines, as in everything else, the
women had a lot to learn and they are
learning it fast. The reports Of clubs at the
meeting OF the Fifth district OF the Iowa
Federation held at Glenwood Wednesday,
showed the great majority of clubs favora-
BILE to the one subject. Mrs Horace Deemer
of Red Oak is chairman of the program
committee, and reported a gratifying de-
mand for outlines. OF the $50 clubs in the
Iowa federation over 800 are following
definite outlines The Iowa year book
will be out this week. having been de-
layed. In addition to the club directory,
committee reports and Information generally
used 1t will also include the minutes OF the
Waterloo biennial and a map indicating
the recent re-districting of the state for
club convenience. There is some talk that
Council Bluffs will ask TO entertain the
next convention OF the clubs of the Fifth
| district.
Here are some OF the good things that
were heard at the Glenwood meeting
T, Wednesday,:
"po not encourage the mistaken opinion
that you are the only woman in your

sideration."
"A happy home is not an inevitable
sequel TO a marriage ceremony
eve must as women rise above person
alities."

(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. 25.-Hundreds of
tenament house babies and their toy
laden Christmas tree were carried into
the street befare daylight today during
a. fire which threatened to obliterate
several blocks of the city in the vicin-
nty of 5Sth street and Eleventh ave-
nue.. A siX-Story factory building at
534 and SIS West 5Sth street was COM
pletely destroyed, with a loss of $780,
900.
With tenement houses on three sides
and with the gas tanks of the Consol-
idated Gas Company within reach of
showers of sparks, the pater pressure
partially failed when the fire was
hottest. Fire engines were hastily
coupled together pumping in pairs,
and this device together with the bold
work of the firemen. who advanced al
most into the zone of the flames in
order to play on the fire with their
weak streams, finally saved the hum
dreds of surrounding homes.
The fire was first discovered when
flames burst from the third story win
dows, and belched completely across
5Sth street with a roar like a disclfarg-
ing cannon.
The rooms of Roosevelt Hospital
some distance away, were lighted as
if by daylight There was great alarm
among both patients and their attend
ants.
At the height of the fire spectators
momentarily forgot the burning build
ing in watching a struggle in the upper
window of a tenement house in 58th
street. A man started climbing over
the window sill, preparing to drop to
the street in his night clothes An
