MILK FUNDS NETS
 HANDSOME SUM BY THEATRE BENEFIT
Po]lyanna Club Girls Mov- ing Spirits in Proposition
 to Help Poor Babies.

The "baby milk fund" of the As sociated Charities yesterday netted S125.15, as a result of it's benefit at the Best theatre and other enter prises into which those most keenly interested in the fund entered during yesterday.
 The Baby Milk Fund Day vas a big day, despite the fact that ap- parently it was overshadowed by the great Rotary Club Red Cross demon- stration of last night. The girls of the Pollyanna club, women of the Lakeside and First Baptist societies, other women, girls and boys in all parts of the city, sold tic kets in large numbers othe benefit performance of "The Primrose Ring" The Polly anna club girls, attired in white with ribbon streamers bearing the clubs name and each wearing a Red Cross nurse cap, acted as ushers, and re- ceived donations i'll milk bottles in the lobby of the theatre. Members of the Musicians union entered into the spirit of the affair in wholehearted fashion, and served as an orchestra, after Ahf parade last evening, and 1t looked like the whole city was help- ing by attending the show.
 The net result to the milk fund were obtained as follows:
 Share in benefit receipts, $84.76: donated in milk bottles, $17.49; Red Cross page in The Graphic, $10.50; donated by Mrs. J. M. Cook, $10; mis- cellaneous donations, $2.40; total, $125.15.
 The Associated Charities and Miss Houston were enthusiastic and most grateful last night, to the manner In which the response had been made to the appeal to help the milk fund, and made it plain that they will find means of showing that they desire to return sincere, thanks.

An Awakening.

An awakening.
Time was when Phil Strange bOasted
that he and his wife had played every
Playground and seaside amusement

In his battered wardrobe trunks were
parts of old costumes, scrapbOOks of
clippings, and a goOdly collection of
Autographs, some advertising the SUI

Sovereign of the Unseen World" and
others the accomplishments of Mile.
lie Garde, Renowned Serpent Enchan-
tress." In these gaudy portraits Of
"Magi the Mystic" no one would have
recognized Phil Strange And even
more difficult would it have been to
trace a resemblance between Mrs.
Strange and the blond, bushy-headed
'Mlle. LIE Garde" of the posters. New
ertheleSs, the likenesses at one time
had been considered not too fiattering,
and Phil treasured them as evidences
of imperishable distinction.
But the Stranges had tired of public
life. For a long time the wife had
confessed to a lack of interest in her
vocation which amounted almost to a
repugnance. Snake-charming, she had
discovered, was far from an ideal pro-
fession for a woman of refinement. 1t
possessed unpleasant features, and
even such euphemistic titles as "Ser-
pent Enchantress' and "Reptilian
Mesmerist" failed to rob the calling
of a certain odium, suggestion of
vulgarity in the minds of the more
discriminating. This had become SO
distressing to Mrs. Strange's finer
sensibilities that she had voiced a
yearning to forsake the platform and
pit for something more cOngenial, and
finally she had prevailed upon Phil
to make change.
The step had not been taken without
misgivings, but a benign Providence
had watched over the pair. Mrs.
Strange was a natural seamstress, and
luck had directed her and Phil to a
community which was not only in need
of a good dressmalzer but peculiarly
ripe for the talents of a sOothsayer
Phil, too, had intended to embrace a
new profession but he had soon dis
covered that Jonesville offered better
financial returns to a man of his ac-
cepted gifts than did the choicest of
seaside concessions, and therefore he
had resumed his old calling under q
slightly different guise. Before long
he acknowledged himself we'll pleased
with the new environment for his wife
was far happier in draping dress goods
upon the figures of her customers than
hanging python folds about her own,
and he found his own fame growing
with every day. His mediumistic gifts
came into general demand. The coun-
try-people jOurneyed miles to consult
him, and Blaze Jones' statement that
they confided in the fortune-teller as
they would have confded in a priest
was scarcely an eXaggeration. Phil
did indeed become the repository for
confessions of many sorts.
Contrary to Blaze's belief, however,
Strange was no Prince of Darkness,
and took little joy in some of the Sc
crets forced upon him. Phil was a
good man in his way-sO conscientious
that certain information he acquired
weighed him down with a sense Of un.

THREE TREASURY POSTS,
ONE Permanent, VACANT
Appointments to Each Expected at
Early Date-several Candidates
Under Consideration.

There are three important positions
under the Treasury Department to be
filled-one permanent, that OF director
Of the bureau Of engraving. and two
for the period Of the war, extra as
sistant secretaries of the Treasury. It
is believed that these posts will be filled
, without delay.
For director Of the bureau. Frank Z.
Ferguson, now acting director is re-
garded by many as the practical and
logical successor to Joseph E. Ralph,
resigned, but there are other candi-
dates.
James L. Wilmeth, chief clerk Of the
Treasury Department. has been spoken
of as head Of the bureau. and is sup
posed to have strong support. AS chief
clerk he enjoys the privilege Of acting
Secretary of the Treasury in the alb
sence Of the Secretary and the assist
ant secretaries. He has been long In
the position Of chief clerk, and there
seems apparent disposition to reward
his efficient service.
For assistant secretary of the Treasury.
Oscar Price, auditor for the Interior De
partinent, and now head of the publicity
bureau for the liberty loan. Is prominently
mentioned. He also has been spoken OF
az a possibility for director OF the bureau.
just as Chief Clerk Wiineth has been
mentioned as likely candidate for as
sistant secretary.
George r. Cooksey, now assistant to
the Secretary, may be given a preference
for one Of the positions as assistant sec
retary. The position he holds carries the
same salary; the difference is that an
assistant secretary is a presidential ap-
pointment and would carry privileges and
responsibilities denied to an assistant to
the Secretary. Should he be selected as
assistant secretary his present place would
