Wilson Enjoys Theatre
President and Mrs. Wilson continue
to make use of the theatre for an
evening diversion. Luckily for them
the theatrical business here is so
brisk on account of war activities
that all the theatres are open instead
of being closed, usually the case in
summer.
The attendance of the president
generally means a crowded house.
The theatre authorities are apprised
in advance of the presidents coming
and must make arrangements. Seats
have to be found on the orchestra
Ecor and in all the galleries for 16
men of the secret service. These
vigilants want to be right in the thick
OF the audience. All this shows how
carefully the president is guarded.
And every scat is paid for President
Wilson is fond of the theatre, more
than any other president of recent
times. He takes in all kinds of
shows. BY this diversion be obtains
some change of scene Being
imprisoned" in the White House is
an awful bore, and what goes on on
the stage takes his mind off some of
the burdens that weigh heavily upon
him.
President TAFT used to be fond of
the theatre, but President Roosevelt
rarely went. He preferred to use
his hours reading book.

BOARD FORMED TO
AID WAR USE OF
SPHAGNUM MOSS

The Chicago committee of the
American fund for the French wound
ed yesterday formed a committee on
sphagnum moss, for the purpose of
supplying dressings to the hospitals
for the wounded. Along the Atlantic
coast all the way from Nova Scotia
to Florida grow miles and miles of
this moss, which no one heretofore
has thought of any special value.
But with the war sphagnum moss
has become a precious thing. Since
1915 it has been used in the war hos
pitfalls in Europe, even more extern
sively than absorbent cotton, for
dressing wounds, for bed pads, pill.
lows, splint pads, etc.
The demand for it is overwhelm.
ing. Sphagnum moss has been proved
far superior to absorbent cotton for
dressing wounds. 1t is lighter and
more highly absorbent.
The Chicago committee on sphag-
mum moss of the American fund for
French wounded is composed of the
following: Mrs. Russell Tyson. Chair
man ex-officio; Mrs. Arthur A. Small,
active chairman; Mrs. Gordon Will
son, member of the women's war aid
of the University of Chicago; Miss
Marie Rozert, Mrs. Ogden Armour,
Red Cross representative; Mrs. w. U.
