RECITAL
 TRIUMPH FOR SINGER

Juneau Empire: Miss Mary Bern hofer, of Skagway, Alaska, who fled Europe and her vocal studies in Ber--u duTkng the war to return to tie country of peace, delighted an audience that completely filled Elks hall last night, when she made her first appearance in Juneau in song recital. She was assisted by Miss Edith Kempthorne, pianiste, and Mir. Willis E. Nowell, violin.
 Miss Bernhofer is not Te;raz- 4ini, neither is she a Schum0nn lIeinck; not yet-but a career of great brilliancy is within her grasp Possessing q dramatic style so rare in a beginner, this charming daugh' ter of the North sings the most difficult selections with the pOise and control of our greatest Divas. It i5 this confidence In her voice that will aid Miss Bernhofer's rapid as cent to lame and fortune, critics wA heard her last night agree. Miss Rernhofer's difficult part of the program was carried out mirum in :aodum, and it was 10 an audience that gave attentive ears to every triT, every note. Miss Bernhofer as given an ovation when she stepped to the stage, and the spon- taneous applause that greeted her when she appeared ell costume for Gounod's Jewel Song from Faust, lore evidence to the impression she created. As Margahrita, Miss Bern hofer vas at her best. She sang this selection witl perfect ease md her interpretation of the part vas superb.
 Miss Bernhofer expects to leave in two or three weeks for Seattle, and, 1t is possible will visit other coast cities this summer. in pursuit of her studies. Miss Bernhorer has no intention of going East, she said this morning, and her plans for the completion of her musical education arc indefinite.

CHICAGO AUTO SHOW
 DISPLAYS NEW IDEAS

Chicago. Jan. 23-Nearly 100 automobile concerns and twice as many manufacturers of accessories were represented by exhibits at the annua! Chicago Automobile show which was formally opened at the Coliseum and in the First regiment armory today. Practically all the exhibits came from the New York show in Grand Central palace.
 The Coliseum had all the appear aaces of @ huge conservatory when the doors were thrown open. The floor was carpeted with green, booths were half-concealed by palms and evergreen and, the scenic roof effects carried out the same idea.
 The show will continue for one week. A large attendance Of trades men is expected this year because rf the fact that a large number of companies are revealing new models this year. Several dealers con yentiors will be held early next week and the loop hotels are pre- pairing to handle big crowds.
 Visitors to the show today noted with delight changes iT the designs that will make touring next summer less of a dust bath. Not only are 1he motors on the 1915 cars being made much lighter, with smaller bore and longer stroke than in former years, but tho aeroplane is beginning to influence the lines of the automobile body.
 The smooth, stream lines of the airship, by which they move with g. minimum of friction through the air, have been copied by the auto manufacturers. They say that it not only adds to the looks of the car, but means smaller clouds of dust and more comfort for road travellers.

DISTRESS IS BEING EXPERIENCED
 BY UNEMPLOYED IN CALIFORNIA

San Francisco, Jan. 23-Real dis tress is being experienced by thou sando of persons in California this winter and the army Of unemployed is larger that was ever before known In the West, according to the report of the commission of immigration and housing of Cali fornia, which was designated by Governor Hiram Johnson to devise means of relief. Besides the hords of migratory, seasonal labor in California, thousands of persons have recently been attracted to the state with the idea of securing en- pIoyment at either the Panama-Pa- cific or the Panama-California ex- positions.
 In California, known as the "iand of plenty" it is very excep- tional for municipal wood yards and free lodging houses to be taxed to capacity, or, under normal condi- tions, for any large number to be in need of food or shelter, and it is the unusual influx of strangers added to the usual army of unem- ployed that has brought about this condition. The management of the Panama-Pacific Exposition, alone, has receiver recently 100000 appli- cations for employment. The pleas ing prospect of seeing the exposi- ton without being out of pocket has prompted 10000 women to file ap- plications for work at the exposi- ton, while the number of posi- tions open to women will be limited to 1000. The applicants hail from every corner of the United states, and many of them have come west without waiting for their applica- tons to be answered. One store in San Francisco received in Decem- Der, 1914, 177 personal applications from women for work, of which 1lO were made by Eastern women who are in San Francisco and jobless, the majority of them attracted by the expositions.
 The commission of immigration and housing of California has devis~ ed plans for temporary relief of the unemployed, as well as measures to prevent a recurrence of the trouble in the future, and the commission is sending out warning to persons contemplating 0 trip to California, with the expectation of getting work of any kind, advising only those to come west who have means Of support.

The fourth series in the lnterna- tionaI Bowling tournament took place last night on tie Elks' allays with results highly satisfactory to the Skagway team.

Great Report From Brazil.

The Campo Field, Brazil, has just
closed a very successful year in spite
OF the fact that drOughts and wars
have made the work hard and at
times discOuraging. The churches
and brethren have shown a spirit Of
real sacrifices. We baptized 464 dur
ing the year 1914, which is the larg-
est number ever baptised during one
year. The contributions were the
largest in the history of the work.
The native brethren contributed about
SIS, 100000 though they are passing Il
great financial crisis.
We have 26 churches with 15o
preaching points and several schools.
The Campos school has had a. success
full year. There were 1876 students
matriculated.
The Campos Field needs a mis-
sionary to help in rhe work. large

Missions in Turkey.

Over 100 mission stations and some
43O Out-statiOns are strewn over
Turkish dOminions. The church mis-
siOnary society has extensive work
throughout Palestine, the Lebanons
and the plans Of the Euphrates and
I1grlS. American societies have
many stations in Armenia and Asia
Minor; and number Of other mis-
siOns have work on a smaller scale.
Altogether there are some 500 Euro
pean and American missionaries and
wives labOring in the Turkish en-
pire (nOt including Egypt. The out
break Of war certainly means the
abandonment for the time being Of
all British stations and probably OF
American also, for in a war with
"Christian powers the Turkish mobs
and Kurdish troops will not easily
distinguish between one mission and
another We know too well what tn.
cry kill the Christians means un-
Ger the Turkish flag. No details are
to hand, but doubtless all the work
ers are in full flight-in some cases
we fear, for every life. This consti
tutes new call to prayer.-Foreig1
