PENSACOLA BOY IN
REVUE DIES MODES
In san FRANCESCA.

IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Out in San Francisco, for the bene-
fit Of the Free Kitchens for Nursing
Mothers and to found q California
Ward in the American Hospital in
Paris, they have BEEN holding fash
ion shows, In which all the models
were society women and in which a
number Of dancing acts were given, in
one Of which Dan Walker, son Of Mr..
]. o. Walker of this city, made a nota-
bic success:
Here is an interesting comment on
the Revue Des Fashions:
There were two fashion shows, one
following the other, George Long,
who stages the Bohemian Clubs an
nual Bohemian Grove play, put on
the entertainment, and all the models
were society girls and women. Scot
fish Rites Hall Is an exceptionally
beautiful place in its natural state,
but for the occasion It was particu-
larly so. The stage had been lined
with blossoms, and against the cur
tains there was a tiny hedge of jon
! quils, 5000 Of them, brought from
! Mrs. Phoebe Hearst's country place.
For the fashion show an extra set of
white satin curtains had been made,
which were pulled aside by two
youngsters made up in black, and
wearing black and white costumes,
revealing Shadow box" or second
stage, three stairs up where the pic
lures appeared. A Commerce" and
"compere" came out between the
numbers, and gossiped about the peo-
| pie in the show, French fashion. They
were dressed in the style Of about q
hundred years ago, in black and white.
which afforded good foil for the col
ors of the costumes. The clothes
needless to say, were very gorgeous
The show was put on for less than 9
thousand dollars, and great deal OF
money was made for the charities IN
terested.
"a dancer who made hit was
Daniel Walker, an amateur whose
graceful dancing has been admired al
many dancing parts. Mr.. Walker
gave an impression Of Leon Bakst, II
Russian dance which he improvised
There was but one criticism to make
that the dance was too brief. The
dance was artistically staged anC
wonderfully well costrtmed.
! "Mr. Walker was made up brown
face, shoulders, arms and bare
feet; a tight black cap, combine
ton of Oriental Celestial makeup. Il
was Just like the things one sees OF
the magazine covers by Balxst. Mr.
Walker designed his own costume
coral earrings about three inches
long, jadge green rings, and bands o.
brilhants across the feet were th'
only jewels, but the peacock blue AMI
green beads used for shoulder strap
made a sufficient glitter. A band o
the brightest green went across tn
chest, tied under one arm, and hun,
about four feet in two tubes of silk
, weighted down by loops, of vari-color
ed beads. The blouse was Of blacl
brocaded silk, and the boomers yer,
full, and royal purple"

PENSACOLA LIBRARY ASsO-
GATI0N TO ELECT OFFICERS.

CATION TO ELECT OFFICERS.
A meeting of the Pensacola Library
association has been called for Tues
day, April 4th, when election of off,
GERS for the ensuing year viii take
place. It is hoped that all who are
interested In the success of the Pen
sacola library win attend this meet
ing.
The library is now required to be
an active, not passive, force m a
community. It not only guards and
preserves its books, but it makes them
accessible to those who want them,
and it tries to see that those who
need them realize that need and act
accordingly.
The oldest libraries were store
houses, first and foremost; as thair
privileges were extended to larger
numbers of persons they tried more
and more to aid their readers; they
classified their books, arranged them
systematically, catalogued them. But
not until very recent years did the
library begin to conceive Of its duties
as extending to the entire community,
instead Of being limited to those who
voluntarily entered its doors.
The modern public library believes
that it should find reader for every
book on its shelves and provide book
for every reader In its community.
This is the meaning of the great null
j duplication Of facilities in the use of
the modern hbrary--the lending of
books for home use, free access to
shelves, cheerful and honelike rooms,
books for children, cooperation with
schools, inter-hhrary loans, longer
hours Of opening, more useful cata-
! Iogues and lists, the extension Of the
branch library systems, and the CO.
ordination Of work through lectures
and exhibits.
In a number Of cities the public II
brary, that is, the building, books and
complete equipment, is owned by the
city and is managed by a board OF
trustees. The boards duties are Ia
hold and care for the library prop
erty and to decide on the main fea.
lures Of library policy. It concerns
itself with results, not methods, which
are left to the librarian.
i The funds at the disposal Of many
public libraries are derived direct
from city taxation, the special allot
ment or BUDGET for the library being
apportioned by the city council.

SPECIAL FILMS
FOR CHILDREN.

Mrs. James F. Phillips, president Of
the City Story Tellers' League, has
aroused great deal of interest in
Pensacola in better films for children.
Last summer, so earnest were Mrs.
Phillips efforts along this line, that
every woman's club in the city be-
came interested, and passed resolu-
tons Of approval and cooperation in
this movement. So far it has not
been possible to arrange for regular
chfldren's matinees, as is done in
many other cities Of the country, but
the management of the Isis theatre
has made arrangements this week to
run two films especially planned for
the pupils Of the primary and gram
mar schools Of the city.

SPRINGS A LITTLE LADY.

Springs little lady-trippingly she
goes,
A rafnent Of the rainbow, q chaplet
of the rose,
Sunny-sweet and smiling,
She takes the world along
TO the music Of her laughter
And the sunshine of her song.
Spring, the little lady-ah, that fairy
face,
That figure with its ardor and its
symmetry and graceI
An elf1n form Of gladness,
A wreath amid the CLEANS
That dance upon the daisies
In the meadowland Of dreams.
And now she IS a bubble, and now she
Is light,
And now she is pixy in the velvet
arm Of night.
The fancy In her heart, though,
The simmer In her eyes
- The glory Of her beauty
In the sweet blue skies.
Springs a little lady-nothing else
will do
TT that she cometh dancing all the
greenwood through.
A weaver Of the magic
That round us subtly throws
u The memory of a morning
In the valleys Of the rose.

FRENCH PRESS ON FENCE
Newspapers Decline to Commit Them
selves Until They learn Definitely
Whether 1t Is Wilson or Hughes.

Paris, Nov. 9, 5:45 a. m.-The
American election is being followed
with the deepest interest, the news
having the place of honor in most
morning papers. The Commentators,
mindful Of the dramatic surprise Of
yesterday, when the supposedly GER
tain Hughes victory was turned into
a possible defeat, are reluctant to
commit themselves
The majority of the comment is
similar to that of Stephen Pinchon,
In the Petit Journal who expresses
the belief that the victory of either
candidate will have little effect on
American policy as far as the big
questions interesting France are con-
cerned. 1t is also pointed out that
the present administration will re-
main in any event. in power until
March 4, and that many things may
happen between now and then.
The Matin remarks that while
victory for Mr.. Hughes might mean
more vigorous international policy
IL would also mean a protectionist re-
s1me. The Matin comments that this
change, while unimportant in time of
war, might be awkward for French
business interests on the return of
peace.

The controversy between Norway

The controversy between Norway
and Germany over the submarine
question reached an acute stage with
the passage of the ordinance of Oct
13 by King Haakon's government. BY
this ordinance submarines of belliger-
ent powers were forbidden to traverse
Norwegian waters except in cases Of
emergency. In the latter instance
they were directed to remain upon
the surface and fly their national
flag. Mercantile submarines also
were ordered to remain on the sur
face and display their country's col
ors. This ordinance provoked strong
feeling in Germany, and DR.. Alfred
Zimmerman, the German under-sec-
rotary for foreign affairs, was quoted
in Copenhagen paper as saying Ger
many would not calmly submit to the
action of the Norwegian government.

On Platte Bridge
for Over Two Hours

division OF the Rock Island, with head
quarters at Fairbury, is in Omaha after
concluding the work OF overseeing the
clearing OF the ice from above the bridges
in the streams over which the road
passes between Omaha and the Kansas
line. He asserts that all possibility OF
Ice damaging the bridges has passed
Last Monday the superintendent and
his crew OF workers had some thrilling
experiences In saving the bridges over
the Platte at South Bend The dynamit-
ing crew had been at work on the ice
just above the bridge and had It pretty
well broken up. About this time freight
train from the east came along and
stopped on the bridge. At almost tho
same moment gorge quickly formed
some 100 feet above the bridge. Before
the train could be started and moved out
OF the danger zone. cakes of ice. some of
them fifty or more feet square. broke
out OF the gorge and were thrown onto
the bridge, making II impossible TO move
the train either forward or back.
The men got busy with their axes and
pike poles, chopping the ice into smaller
cakes and pushing these off the bridge
into the stream. After two hours of hard
work, the bridge was cleared of ice and
the train proceeded.

Municipal Child's
, Hospital is Urged
by Supt. Schneider

Superintendent Schneider Of the Welfare
board, during the brief time he has been
here. is convinced there is need to de-

There is a broad field of work in
those cases where there IS no need of
placing the children in institutions or
homes" said Mr.. Schneider. "A fund
should be collected that will enable those
Interested in the work TO purchase eye

articles for children needing them. Per-
haps friendly visitor could be secured
to devote her time TO those girls coming

halls and similar places
He believes the city should provide
ways and means for conserving tho
morals and health OF children. He rec
ommends an institution for slightly de-
linquent and homeless girls. where they
may learn useful occupations. He also
urges a municipal child's hospital and
clinic,
