Perhaps some thought that Demon
strator Perkins would not be able to
get a position elsewhere but the dis
trict agent always has a place for men
OF Mr.. Perkins exceptional ability.
He was the victim of most unfortunate
political circumstances in Henderson

If you would observe the excellent

The efforts of the Woman's club in
serving coffee at the new rest room
last Saturday were amply rewarded,
This was the formal opening of this
place for the benefit of ~out-of-town
lady shoppers. The Woman's club
started the movement and provided
the room with furniture, the Mer-
chants association paying the rent.
Although the weather was fine and
there was no real necessity for the
room Saturday the Woman's club was
there with the coffee and to their
qualification 40 people from the coun-
try visited the room. Out-of-town
ladies and children are cordially in
.Y;ted to use the room. which has been
especially provided for their comfort.
It is open at all hours and is provided
with heat water and light.

The Rock Island city commission
will not enter into a cosract with the
Chicago Sanitary Waste Can company,
Commissioner Iuhl stated in an inter
view yesterday explaining why he
made no report 10 the commission at
the council meeting.
We have Investigated and learned
that the majority of the merchants
are opposed TO the plan, We have
come to the conclusion that if waste
cans are placed in here the city will
place them, and they will not be Gov
cred with advertising. We have come
TO understand that the merchants have
an agreement among themselves to
advertise only through legitimate
channels and taboo propositions such
as was presented TO the city last week.
We are going to let the matter
drop. but it should have its good eff
feet. The business men here should
cooperate with my department and be
more careful about their waste paper,
so that none flies up alleys and out
iuto the streets. I am sure that ex-
erting a little more care in this re-
spect the streets would not require
the labor now needed to keep them in
a slightly condition

RED CROSS SEAL CASH
NOT FOR WAR RELIEF

None Of the proceeds from the sale
of Red Cross Christmas seals. which
are being sold widely throughout the
United States for the benefit Of the an
Tuberculosis movement. will be
used for war relief purposes, accord
ing to a statement by Ernest P. Bfck-
nell, national director OF the American
Red Cross.
Mr.. Bicknell says, The American
Red Cross is deeply appreciative Of the
sympathetic interest which has insplr-
ed the suggestion from various parts of
the United States that a certain per
centage of the Red Cross Seal sales
fund, which has been used for the last
seven years exclusively for the proven
ton and treatment Of tuberculosis in
the United States. be expended this
year to aid the European war suffer
ers. While the Red Cross is DESTROYS
of securing contributions which will
increase this war relief fund. we do
not feel justified in adopting any pol,
icy which will tend TO cripple the tu-
berculosis work in this country. de-
pendent as it is for support to SO large
an extent on the sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals. The announcement
that a percentage Of the Red Cross .eaI
money would go to our relief fund
might possibly increase the sale; but,
in our opinion, the final results would
show a distinct loss in that part Of the
proceeds going for tuberculosis work.
at the present time there are over
I 200 anti-tubercuIosis societies dis
tributed through nearly every state in
the union and even in Porto Rico, the
canal zone and far off Hawaii, which
are dependent almost entirely upon
the receipts from the Red Cross seal
sale for their work during the year
ll916. The people of the United States
must support this local war against
tuberculosis. which annually kills 200,
600 people and at the present time is
leaving a trail Of a million wounded.

The critic above mentioned says Of
the operas:
THE two short tragic operas that
seem especially intended 10 supple
ment each other, even though they
were written by rival composers, were
sung by the San Carlos Grand Opera
company last night at the Lyceum. In
some respects the performances touch
ed the high water mark of the en-
gagement thus far. The tragic rush
of events that characterize these two
operas, the swiftly moving action
seemed TO suit the histri0nic talents
I OF the company more perfectly than
the mcse deliberately moving operas.
The chorus sang with greater spirit
and in the first opera especially seem
ed to realize that it could occupy its
spare moments in some better way
than admiring the audience
"Vocally both performances were
on the same level Of excellence that
has obtained all the week The dra-
matte intensity Of both stories was
/ revealed with all the fervor that the
singers could inject into their voices.
and It is in singing Of that kind that
all OF the principals have shown them
selves particularly proficient. 'CavaI-
1eria Rusticana' contains much de-
( ligbtful music, in which the note Of
I passion is always present. and its
story Of Jealousy and inconstancy-a
! fav0rite one in Italian opera pitch
ed in perfect key with the score.
/ Mary Kaestner was not in best
voice last night. but she brought to
