Il
The surgical dressings situation
abroad has become so important
that Maj. Murphy cabled the fol-
lowing to Washington Headquar-
ters:
"The Red Cross has direct re-
sponsibility Of supplying us with
surgical dressings, and nothing in
the whole situation here is equally
important. Red Cross standard
dressings in millions must be sent
over with all possible speed.
"1f this is not done, and done i'm
mediately, serious calamity and
national disgrace is inevitable. The
American women who compose the
Red Cross chapters workers should
prepare with all enthusiasm and
speed possible the dressings which
are going to mean life or death to
our own men. This whole situation
deals with the most vital. thing that
women of America can do for the
soldiers in this war"
If this information is given wide
publicity by you, it should certainly
settle in everyone's mind the ques-
ton whether or not surgical Dress
ings are being made throughout the
country in excess Of requirements,
and it should have the good effect
Of stimulating Red Cross work in all
chapters throughout the United
States.
During the summer a great many
people left the cities, and you have
probably noticed that the number
Of workers in your workrooms dim
inished. The effect of this urgent
need should be to get all of these
people to again take up this work in
earnest, and DO so knowing thai
they are rendering real service.
+ Representatives of the Woman's
Bureau at Washington have just
.rctlrned from abroad, and they in,
form us that it is hard for us to APP
preciate the great quantities Of
dressings that are necessary. To
hest enable us to visualize this. they
have informed us that cases are
numerous where an entire box oil
dressings is used on one patient.
Volunteer workers are needed,
wont you come and assist in this
work? We need you badly. Do not
stay away because you do not know
how to make the bandages as we
have competent instructors. Room

WITcHcRkFT IN ENGLAND.
The Last Of the Judicial Prosecution.
and Executions.

tno Last OF the JUDICIAL Froseouttoni
and Executions.
Sir Matthew Hale, it is true, had
hanged two poor women at Cam
bridge in 1864, but few years later
Lord Chief Justice Holt set him
self strongly against such charges
and in every case tried before him
directed the jury to bring in YER
dict of acquittal. In a celebrated
trial at Guildford in 1701 not only
was the supposed witch found not
guilty, but her false accuser, one
John Hathaway, was condemned to
years imprisonment and to stand
in the pillory three times. Yet,
horrible to relate, a woman named
Hicks and her daughter, a child of
nine, were hanged together at
Huntingdon on July %, 171s, for
raising a storm Of wind in league
with the devil.
The last judicial sentence for
witchcraft in England was in 1896,
one Jane Wenham being actually
found guilty, according to the In.
dictment, of "conversing familiar
ly with the devil In the form of q
cat" The Judge, however, procured
q reprieve for poor old Jane, and
she was ultimately released, to end
her days in peace.
Last, the witchcraft act was re-
pealed for the United Kingdom in
the same year. It was quite time,
for only nine years earlier, In 1927,
woman was brought before Cap
tain David Ross, deputy sheriff Of
Sutherland, charged with Causing
her daughter to be shod by the dev-
u" and SO making her lame both In
hands and feet. The fact having
been proved to the captains salts
faction, the old woman was put into
tar barrel and burned at Dornoch.
The weather being cold at the time,
We are told that she "sat composed
ly warming herself BY the fire pre-
pared to consume her while the 9th.

The last attempt to execute a
witch in England ended disastrously
for the perpetrators. In 1751 a.
Tring two old people named Os-
borne. man and wife, being suspect
ed of witchcraft, were seized by a
crowd, stripped. Cross bound and
thrown into pond Both died Of

SHUBERT.

The ethics of wife earning money
to support husband has long been
a matter of worldwide discussion.
Writers have had much to say upon
the subject both for and against. Now
comes the playwright to have his day,
and he visualizes his ideas in "The
Woman He Married." which Florence
Stone and The Players will produce
next week at the Shubert The play
was written for Virginia Harmed, who
employed it as a starring vehicle for
a season of 500 nights. Manager Mig
gemeyer, of the Shubert selected the
play because it afforded many impor-
tant roles for members of The Players,
and at the same time gave Miss Stone
tional talents for which she is so justly
famed. Miss Stone will be seen in
"The Woman He Married" as an art
lists model, just welded to the son of
millionaire. The young husbands
family is obsessed with the idea the
model has contracted the marital re-
Iations because of the fathers wealth.
Possessed of spirit, the wife promptly
informs friend family she and her hus-
band can get along without parental
assistance, gathers her few belongings
and departs, taking husband with her.
The latter. to earn living, decides to
write a play, which, when produced,
will win fortune. In the meantime,
that the newly made home may exist,
for plays until played bring no re-
ward, the wife decides it is her duty to
earn livelihood for them both. But
she refuse the many f1attering offers
she has to go on the stage, because of
family pride. Secretly the young wife
poses for an artist-her original call.
ing-explaining the money she brings
home has been lent to her by friends
play, her deception is discovered, and
to add to the complications the artist
falls in love with the model. The
author, however, manages to straight
en- out the tangle before the final cur
tain, but not before many tense and
the audience given several moments
for serious thought. Miss Stone will
be seen as the model, and Dwight
Meade, new leading man of The Play
ers, as the husband. William Morti
mer is cast for the esthetic artist, and
Frederick Durham, new juvenile OF
the company, will play the role of an
English fortune hunter.
