Mrs. Rourke Will, Study
Children's Movie Program
In Providence

SOFA Tor the concert for the benefit of
the Red Cross under the auspices of
the Authors Club that will be given
there this evening. No seats will be
sold at the door and it will be useless
to apply for them. This is splendidly
encouraging for those giving the af-
fair and means that a goodIy sum will
be secured for this fine cause
Miss Bonita Slocum was to have
presented a number Of her pupils in
rhythmic work as the closing number
of the program. Owing to the fact
that the stage is undergoing a pro-
cess of reconstruction it has been
greatly reduced in size and this fact
made it impossible to put on the kind
Of work done by Miss Slocum's pu-
pills She was very willing and de-
sirous of assisting but the conditions
have made it an impossibility at this
time.
The Authors Club is indebted to the
NJ. Steinert and Sons company for the
piano they are to use tonight and to
the Rowland Dry Goods company for
the decorations.

The Camp Fire Girls of America
are not only carrying on food saw
ing campaign, spreading the gospel Of
the clean plate in the communities
where there are Camp Fires, but they
have been actually saving food for
the last six months. AS soon as they
learned of the need to stop food waste
they made a programme Of thrift in
the kitchens which would put even
the .'Hausfrauen'' of Germany to
shame.
Six months ago President Wilson
sent to the Camp Fire girls a letter
approving this programme, and five
months ago he further endorsed the
work of the Camp Fire Girls by con-
senting to become their Honorary
President. Ex-President Taft has
also shown his approval of the Save
Food and War Programme" Of the
Camp Fire Girls by accepting their
invitation to become Honorary Vice
/ President.
