Surgical Dressing Committee

The regular meeting of the Surgi cal Dressings Committee will be held in the children's room of the Public Library Wednesday, May 10, from 10 until 12 and from ? until 5, and all those who are willing to help are urged to spend some part of the day in this work of lessening, even in small way, the terrible suffering of the men in the trenches and hospitals of war-swept Europe.
 This Surgical Dressings Committee is one of the many and varied activi- ties of the National Civic Federation and was organized for the purpose of supplying without delay the small emergency hospitals of Europe with sterilized surgical dressings. Those intended for use in France are ship ped to distributing bureaus in Paris and Bordeaux; to other waring na- tions shipments are made direct, or through the American Red Gross and other relief societies.
 Like the Red Cross, the surgical dressings committee knows no creed nor country-is absolutely neutral, and seeks only to alleviate suffering. During it's first year it sent out nearly three and one-half million dressings, divided among hundred and twenty-four hospitals in France Austria, Italy, England, Servia, Bava- ria, Hungary and Montenegro. As the only object is to get these dress ings to the hospitals at the front, and as the battles are fought principally in the Allies territory, it follows that most of them are distributed through headquarters in the countries of the Allies, but no requests for surgical dressings from hospitals or indivi- duals in Europe, or from committees or individuals in America have been refused, large consignments being shipped without expense to recipients at the earliest possible moment after such requests have been received. Over 5O,O00 dressings have been scent to hospitals in Austria, Bavaria and Hungary. If this seems small proportion of the whole, the reason i is not hard to find and may readily be guessed from the following item in dispatches:
 Washington, D. c. January 10.- Great Britain has given formal per, mission to the Red Cross authorities to send to Germany the entire pre- sent accumulation of medical and sur gical supplies, but warns that any further shipments will be subject to future arrangements.

Orphan Brutally Treated

Last Saturday morning a little Mexican girl, eight or nine years old, who had been brutally beaten and abused by her guardian, was brought in on the Grand Canyon train. She was met by Constable McDougall and the local County Physician, Dr. A. G. Rounseville, and sent on to the coun- ty hospital for treatment. The brutal guardian is serving jail sentence.- Williams News.

Very Probable

The depot of a certain town in Texas is about a. mile from the busi- ness part of the town. One night a weary heating-supplies salesman said to the darky who was driving him to the hotel:
 "Old man, why in the name of goodness did they put this depot so far from town?"
 The darkey scratched his head a moment before replying. "Wal, boss" he said, "I s'pose dey done dat so as to have de depot as near as possible to de railroad"

 "Well," replied Senator Sorghum, T don't belive we should waste time with him. Admirable as his qualities may be, how could he be useful in a political campaign"

NORMAL JUNIOR PLAY
 DRAWS X BIG CROWD

On Monday evening, May 1st, the Junior play, "Pygmalion and Gala tea" was given in Emerson Hall,
 A most peculiar sensation stole over the audience, in it's array of new gowns and spring bonnets, when the curtains were drawn and all were car ried back into the ancient times when Athens was the throbbing heart of the world.
 There stood the Pygmalion of the myth, a living, breathing sculptor, dissatisfied with his handiwork. Ga latea, because she was beautiful in cold marble, but lacked the breath of life, which he was powerless to give. How beautiful stood Galatea, on her pedestal; a marble statue, 'tis true, but so life like that one would swear she breathed. About the room moved the equally beautiful Cynisca, Pygmalion's wife, and his charming sister Myrine, who was too enveloped in her soldier-lover, Lencippus, to notice more trivial things. And then there was Daphne, poor outraged Daphne, whose poor corpulent hus- band, Chrysos, had apparently proved so unfaithful. Then there were the slaves, who made the life of the an cients easy and luxurious.
 But the glorious ease and luxury of these Athenians, was rudely dis turbed by the gentle Galatea, when she was suddenly given life by the gods. Innocently the lovely maiden offered her love to Pygmalion who could not accept, since he had already one wife, and it is suspected that poor Pygmalin's heart was torn with the sting of even a third one of Cupid's darts. Unsuspectingly and for lack of modern vocabulary, ,Galatea misre- presented Leucippus to his betrothed, Myrine, who in turn, sent him away. Again, she reused the terrible ire of dimpled Daphne, who turned her husband, patron of arts, out of house and home, and then, to complete the tragedy, the unfortunate maiden stirred the jealousy of Cynisca, who, in her anger, caused the loved Pyg- malion the loss of his sight. At last, Galatea realized that her innocence of the world and it's customs was far too limited to permit her to roam at random, therefore, after reuniting Cynisca and Pygmalion, she returned to her pedestal, once more a lifeless statue.
 The curtains were drawn and the audience returned to the modern world of the twentieth century, with the realization that it had seen a splendid play of high worth, we'll pro duced, with each character remark ably sustained To MT. Thorpe, the patient coach, is due much praise and commendation as well as to the all-star cast, who gave their time and efforts to make this play sue cess.
