RED CROSS SETS
UP WAREHOUSES; IN
FOREIGN FIELDS

The Red Cross is now located
warehouses throughout France Ca.
bles describing the operation of this
new war relief distribution system
organized since the arrival of the Red
Cross Commission in Paris in June,
have just been received by the Red
Cross War Council.
Six of the new Red Cross ware
houses have been located in Paris,
which serves as the center of the dis
tribution system. Ten other ware
houses are located in departments out
side the capitol and from these sup
plies are distributed by motor trucks,
wagons and every available means of
transportation, to hospitals and other
institutions.
Approximately fifteen thousand tons
of materials are now being distrib-
uted monthly from these warehouses
by the Red Cross Commission. A
large proportion of these supplies is
received directly from the United
States and is forwarded by the Red
Cross Supply Service from chapter
work-rooms and from relief societies
affiliated with the Red Cross. Owing
to the great shortage of ocean ton
mage, large quantities of supplies
have been purchased by the Red Cross
Commission in France.
Plans are now under way to in
crease the warehouse facilities of the
commission at French seaports. At
present there are very limited, but as
soon as additional storage space can
be provided greater quantities of sup
plies from the United States can be
handled.
The stocks of goods carried by the
uariad those of
great wholesale houses or department.
plies, drugs, and surgical instruments
is carried in stock for the use of hos
pital stats. Foodstuffs, clothing,
building materials, blowing nipple
ments and tools are also being import
ed in large quantities for the assist
ance of French refugees.
Red Cross warehouses in Paris
alone have a capacity of three and a
half million cubic feet and can take
care of sixty thousand tons of sup
plies at time. Here supplies are
handled in true American fashion,
and at one of the warehouses rail-
way freight cars are run directly into
the building itself for unloading.
American college men, many of
whom formerly served as drivers IN
the American Ambulance, are direct
| ing the work, while the force of work
| men is recruited from veteran French
soldiers and Belgian men no longer
fit for military duty. The French
government and the municipal author
| tiles of Paris are cooperating with
the Commission in the securing of
labor and in maintaining the trans
portatio service.

SAMPLE OF U, 5.
INSURANCE POLICY

Washington, Oct. 14.-Samples of
the insurance policy which the gov
eminent will write for soldiers and
sailors as made public, disclose that
the risks will be written upon the
lives of men and women between the
ages of fifteen and sixty-five in all
branches of the army, navy, marine
corps, coast guard, naval reserve, and
national naval volunteer nurses. Pre-
miums are computed on monthly
basis, and vary between sixty-three
cents per thousand dollars at the age
of fifteen to three dollars and twenty
five cents per thousand at the age of
sixty-five.
During any period of disability the
insurance will be paid, not in lurp
sum, but monthly, for twenty years,
should the disability continue for
that long. Provision is made for a
family allowance, the re-education of
wounded cripples, and compensation
in case of death or injury, without
cost and for an additional protection
of insurance, at small cost.

Bessie Love Becomes transformer IN
"Polly Ann" Triangle Play.

To be a roilicking resident in an or
phanage one day and strutting across
stage in tights and busk1ns the
next is a change to overawe most
anyone and it did Polly Ann, little
persnickety Polly Ann, played by
Bessie Love in the Triangle picture
to be shown at the Isis theatre to-
day.
Orphan, or "orph," as she called
herself, while living in the poorhouse
with others of her plight, became IN
turn slavey, actress, pupil. and sweet
heart, but nothing she did was quite
so amazing as that night on the
stage. She was scrubbing he lobby
in the tavern, the old tavern Jud
Simpkins ran, when the theatrical
troup entered.
Only a gasoline circuit could pro
duce such company as entered that
tavern for lodging, a Shakesperlan
company, each carrying band IN
strument, with the strutting old
! "heavy," who called Polly "sweet coz y
Polly Ann was all eyes for the
handsome young man. SO when the
| 'hcavy" called her "sweet coz" and
asked her if she didn't wish to ap-
pear in his company as the boy IN a
Shakesperian play, she said she did
Polly Ann was determined to become
an actress and continue with the com
pany until that Young man showed
| his real allure. How she came into
the real romance of her life makes
"Pollv Ann" one of Triangle's most
absorbing dramas.

FORARMY- NAVY MEN

The announcement that semi-week-
ly dances will be given at the Keyser
Auditorium each Tuesday and Friday
evenings, beginning next Tuesday,
will be received with much pleasure
by all who are fond of dancing.
These series of dances have
been arranged so as to afford a
spot for the officers and men of the
Army and Navy to enjoy themselves
and the innovation should prove big
success, since it allows the opportuni-
ty of dancing on the best floor in the
city. A small fee will be charged to
pay for the expenses, but the commit

and have engaged an orchestra that
will instantly win favor. Every fea-

success have been arranged for, and
already numerous attractive ideas are
being evolved to make each Tuesday
and Friday evening a magnet to draw
all those who like dancing and friv-
olity. Much interest is already dis
