WANTS MILLION FOR ACTORS

New York, Oct. 2S-The Actors
Fund, the greatest of theatrical char
tiles, faces possible dissolution un-
less large sum can be raised
promptly as the nucleus of an en-
dowment fund Daniel Frohman and
Mark Klaw, president and finance
committee chairman, respectively,
have heretofore completed plans for
campaign to raise $1,0OO,OOO by
popular subscription. The present
effort is the first call that the Fund
has ever made for personal cam
paign. The great demand upon It's
resources since the outbreak of the
European war has brought the fund
to a low ebb and the amount OF cash
now on hand is scarcely sufficient to
maintain the ORGANIZATION for an
other year.

WAY TO TEXAS

Jacksonville, Oct 2S-A great
highway tross the country lsadInS
from Jacksonville to points in Texas
and ultimately 10 the Pacific coast
is the aim of S. A. Deulanc, of Mo
bile. Through h the organization
" hich he has been instrumental in

city, has been named Florida vice
president. In literature received
here ii is shown that Jacksonville
would profit greatly as result OF
the course owing to the route by
way of Mobile being in every man
ner available in the winter months.
II is believed that owing to the pc
euliar nature of the roads along the
coast automobile parties will have
good chance of making their way
into Jacksonville down the Atlantic
coast in winter months. From this
city westward the Dixie Highway
route would be generally used, it is
believed. Mr. DeBlanc, of Mobile, is

| Spanish Trail for the road.

1t is pointed out that there are a
great number of features in connec-
ton with trip down the Atlantic
