PoRTiA CLUB NEWS.

Because no club news has ap
peared in our local Pap rs late }
does not mean that the club is rest
ing on it's oars or drifting, but rath'
] or that something has been doing
all the time, with the usual vim
that characterizes tie work OF the
club but it has been unreporttd.
November 9th, a sp' eiai musical
program arranged for by the music
committee, Mrs j. E. Turner, chair
man. The program was unique in
that not a club member was on the
program and each one was free to
enjoy the feast.
What our schools are doing in
a musical line was shown, when
about thirty girls and boys from
the West Side EIGHTH grad, with
their teacher, Miss johnson, as d.
rector filed into the room and one
at the piano, sang in very ploas-
ing manner some of their regular
school songs, and Miss Johnson re-
vealed another phase of her ability
as a teacher. When a snail part
sings so well we may look for
ward to a splendid scheol musical
in the future. The Club would be
pleased to have other groups ap-
pear on programs.
The Club is indebted to the High
School for two violin solcs by En-
ward Turner, who played Pilgrims
Chorus from Tanhauser and respond |
ed to encore, Miss Mile Lattg ao-
A vocal solo "My Ain Folk" by
Mrs. Newman, encored and she
sang Mother Loke"by James Rame y.
Mrs. Newman may look for an in
5itation to sing again. Miss Ruby
Iandon accompanied her, and vo-
al solo by Miss Landon was very
much appreciated as also was
eading by Miss Nellie Keith.
Air de Ballet, piano solo play
ID by Miss Lattig, and a piano
uet by Mrs. Peterson and Miss
were two pleasing numbers.

Office for a whole week, was the
busiest business place in the city.
Club members can concoct daliyh.-
full dishes and this work was so wei
patrcniZed each afternoon that they
realized about s25 for their work.
The Sales committee had a very
successful week, the sal to aling
$3.50. The Club worked on a 10 per
cent commission.
A committee was appoin' ed to ar
range for the sale of Rid Cross
Seals. Mrs. ]. F.. Orr is cha rman,
and her active helpers are Mrs.
'Tweedy, Mrs. Farber, Mrs. MeCarroI,
and others on the Education COM I
mittee. Ninety per cent of the mon y .
raised by selling seals remains in
Idaho, and 10 per cent goes to the
National Red Cross So-iety.
The new members at this mee'-
ing were Mrs. C. A. Gauer and Mrs.

You know, my dear young lady, there's a lot more to this movie game than some people think. Why, in the older days, I've rehearsed for six weeks at d time. A drama of the costly production sort built up and presented, and I've seen the entire shin-dig go to smash because few first night critics, old and blase gave it a black eye! It isn't a bit that way with the movies. Direc- tors who know their business, pick a scenario of the sure-fire kind. It's just as in the old days of the melodrama managers know what will go over and what won't; there's no ugly element of doubt in my first nights affairs now; my first nights are simply glorious, and think of it, each one of 'em is in thea tres from the Strand here in Birming- ham to the biggest theatre in Madagas- car"

Shoemaker today began the inquiry at the naval yard, where the 142 survivors of the wreck have been since the vessel was abandoned.
 Capt. Joseph Newell of the Hector was the first witness and gave general story of encountering the hurricane, of terrific seas breaking over the collier, of water getting to the engines. disabling them. and of the Hector being driven helpless into shoal water and breaking up.
 Members of the crew and some of the 60 marines who were being transported from Port Royal to Cuba when the storm broke, then were asked if they wished to prefer charges of negligence against anyone connected with the Hector and each replied in the negative.
 It is expected the investigation will last several days.
