Is an enthusiastic advocate of the
circles being merged into the Red
Cross, because having two brothers
in the regular army, she appreciates
the wonderfully efficient service rem
dered by the Red Cross. The active
executive officer of the Red Cross in
this country is man known to
many Keokuls people, Elliott Wads-
worth. He rocigned his position with
the Stone & Webster Co., and gives
: his service without salary to the
work. William Howard Taft is nomi-
nally chairman, but Mr.. Wadsworth
as assistant to the chairman, does
the work. In the first circle which
was formed some time ago there are
twenty-five members, making in all
about fifty women enrolled.
Students Auxiliary.
The Students Auxiliary presented
| its annual program before the Mon
day Music club, and that it was one
OF the best which the auxiliary has
given since it's organization, was the
general opinion of the large audi
ence which filed the auditorium.
Every number was worthy of special
mention and so pleased was the audi
ence that every number was heartily
encored. Miss Leta E. Denmire read
selection particularly appropriate
to the season, story which had its
setting in Jerusalem between the
entrance into Jerusalem and the
resurrection. Her Interpretation
brought the picture of the little boy
and of Christ's healing Of his blind
eyes very clearly to her audience.
Keokuk has particular interest
and pride in Helen Palmer Gray who
has just returned from Chicago. hay
ing completed course in the Column
bia school of oratory. She read last
night, THE Laughter of Leen," by
Conrad Richter, story of the Euro
pean war In her reading she is very
natural and unaffected, which after
ali is the highest art. Back of all
her work and shining through It is
her personality and that is a greater
asset to her than all she has learned
In the dramatic school. She gave
two encores in response to insistent
applause
Too much cannot be said in praise
OF the work done by this junior de-
partment of the Music club and the
young people who gave the musical
numbers last night show much
promise for the future.
