KNIT ALL THE HARDER AS
COLD WEATHER COMES ON
Navy League Women Plan Another
Shipment TO Sailors on
November l.

The past week has been one OF the
busiest In the whole history Of the
Tulsa Navy league. Tho cold weather
awakened women to the fact that the
sailors needed warm clothes and that
II Tulsa did not knit the men would
freeze. At an important meeting OF
the captains of the knitting units on
Thursday morning at the headquar-
ters on Liberty square, Ii was decided
to make shipment of articles on No
vember /. Articles were being fin
ished and II was not wise to store
them here when they were needed.
This brings the date of shipment
ahead for weeks. but the workers are
confident that enough sweaters and
other comforts will be turned in to
make n very creditable contribution.
Two new units have been organized
in the past week. The Whee club is
knitting frantically. and the Liberty
Knitting club started Friday after
noon.
j. Burr Gibbons, president of the
Tulsa branch. addressed the womans
mass meeting at the high school on
Friday afternoon, and spoke of the
work accomplished by the branch
here.
New shipments of yarn are on their
way, and the Tulsa branch will never
be without yarn as long as there is a
shred of it in the United States.

Y. M. C. A. EMPLOYMENT
AGENCY FILLS POSITIONS
Plan to Aid Boys TO Pay Way Into
Homes of
City.

The employment agency. the last
department to he added to the Y. NJ.
G. A., has filled over Fl places In less
than two weeks time. A special sec
retary, Gaylord Simmons, Kendall
graduate, has charge of the work and
reports a steady increase of business
since the new department was formed.
In one day last week there were
q applicants for work, ranging from
the bookkeepers and stenographers-to
laborers, and even office boys. At
present there are So applications from
business men applying for all kinds Of
help. These Will be filled as fast as
men apply who are capable of taking
the places.
The employment department has
still another plan. that of finding a
way to care for boys away from home
who wish to pay their way in some
Tulsa home by working about the
house. This will be probably the
greatest work carried on by the bu-
reau.

The greatest dramatic triumph of
the season in Tulsa was registered at
the Grand last night when the In
comparable Grand Theater Stock
company presented Fine Feathers"
to an audience that packed and
jammed the house and taxed the
standing room.
Cliff Hastings, in the principal role.
added to his laurels and made many
friends. His work in this play is the
best he has ever done at the Grand
and judging from the compliments
Ehowered upon him by last nights au-
ditors the Grand will not be big
enough to hold the crowds from now
until Thursday.
Only six members of the company
take part, as that Is the extent OF the
cast.
Every Detail Perfect.
Director Vickery has outdone him.
self in giving the play a lavish pro-
duction. The scenery, properties and
effects are full as good as those with
the original road show. which played
the Grand n few seasons since. one
man is kept busy off stage attending
to effects alone.
The story concerns a husband and
wife and villain, played respective
ly by Mr. Hastings, Ella Kramer and
Whit Brandon. The husband enters
into a deal to furnish an inferior
grade of cement for big dam. The
wife is anxious to travel In high soci-
ETY. and wear fine clothes She per-
suades her husband to trade his hon
or for gold. In the third act word
comes that the dam has gone out
and hundreds of lives have been lost.
In the last act Brandon attempts to
get Hastings TO leave the country or
accept the alternative of being ar
rested, along with his wife. This calls
for some of the best acting seen at the
Grand this year, or any other year for
that matter.
Finally the young husband tells his
wife that he has found way out.
I'VE have always loved each other
he says, land | shall always continue
to love you. l have found way out
of IT for both Of us, and you Will be
spared disgrace.
Then he walks over to the telephone
and calls police staten. In the next
three minutes everything Is straight
ened cut, but in most peculiar man
ner. You will have to see it to ap-
preciate 1t.
Good Comedy.
Miss Adelaide Melrotte and Miss
Mary Enos have parts that are exact
ly suited to their temperaments. Most
of the comedy of the plan is handed
by them and they scored heavily at
both performances yesterday. Harry
Hoxworth plays the part of the friend
of the family, and handles the role in
his usual capable and experienced
manner.
The first three hundred ladies at
tending the Grand tonight will receive
photographs of Keith Ritchey, the
good looking and popular young ju-
venile man OF the company. Keith's 5
pictures should be in great demand,
Judging from the love letters that he
gets each week and turns over to his
wife.
