Navy League Activities

Already the United States Marines
training in France are beginning to
feel the effects of the cold and ex-
tremely damp autumn weather for
which Northern France is noted.
To the people in the United Skates
where touches of Indian Summer are
common about this time of the year,
it sounds strange to read letters from
the Marines saying that they are
"already shivering with cold" Such
letter has come to the Comforts
Committee of the Navy League re-
questing a quick shipment of WOOL
en- garments for the Marine conting-
ent. The appeal is particularly for
5000 pairs of knitted woolen socks
for in life out Of doors in that cold
climate good heavy socks are an ab-
solutely necessary safe guard
against colds md pneumonia. The
request for the Marines says:
"Send as soon as possible 5000
of the heaviest woolen socks, size IL,
or thereabouts
Directions for knitting the socks
are being furnished by the Comforts
Committee Of the Navy League. In
every instance these articles are to
be sent by the women who make
them to the Comforts Committee Of
the Navy League, 1414 H. Street, N.
w., Washington. D. c., whence they
will be reshipped to the Marines. in
France
Women who cannot knit are urged
by the Comforts Committee to make
or buy comfort bags and sewing
kits for the Marines. The scomforts
bags contain writing paper, envel-
opes, pencils, a small non-breakable
mirror, towels, handkerchiefs, soap,
toothbrush and tooth paste. Direc-
tions for making both the comfort
bags and the sewing kits will be fur
nished on request by the Comforts
Committee.

 ed from Nearby Towns.

Philadelphia until he has heard Dr. Conwell, so was it true until about three years ago that visi- tor in San Francisco had not seen all the town had to offer him un- til he had heard Dr. William Rader. Three years ago, w. l.. Radcliffe, manager of the Rad cliffe, Chautauquas, secured Dr. Rader to lecture on the Booster Club Chautauquas. This cele-
 brated speaker, listed by the edi- tor of Golfers Weekly as one of the twelve great orators of the day, will be in McCrory on .Wed- nesday afternoon and night. Dr. Rader's lectures alone are worth the price of a season ticket.
 Besides the celebrated lecturers mentioned, there will be a num- Der of concert companies and entertainers, one of whom is Dur no, the Mysterious, one of the six great magicians of the day.
The Home news., 1917-09-14

Durno's program comprises a gal axly of magic, music, mystery, mirth and merriment.
 The concert companies include the Columbia Concert Company, of Washington, D. c, one of the most widely known trios of the chautauqua and lyceum, The Hungerford Concert Company, of Chicago, and the celebrated Swiss Alpine Yodlers of Geneva Switzerland.
