Reached-Camp Closed,

At IL o'clock last night the Donation
Week campaign came to a close with
s2.6S5.6S collected. not including the
results of last nights collections at
Polls and Keith's theaters. With the

The result of Federal Day. which was
devoted particularly to collections in
the government departments. netted
s550.6S. one of the best days of the
campaign.
Last night the actresses at the above
named thcaters went through the
aisles with little boxes during the in
termissions and, although the results
OF the theater collections had not been
ascertained at a late hour last night,
il is expected that this closing feature
OF the weeks work will be the most
fruitful.
