EXHIBITION OF
GYNNASTIC. WORK.
Most Creditahle Exhibition Given by
Girls of Grades and High School 4
OF Monday Evening.
GIVE JAPANESE MILITARY DRILL
Work Given Under Direction of Miss
Fay Chamberlain, Who Has
Charge OF Physical CULTURE

One of the most interesting eXhibi-
tons given in Dcnison for some time
was that of girl students of the grades
and high school at the gymnasium on
Monday evening. The entertainment,
consisting of gymnastic work, folk
dances and drills, under the direction
of Miss Fay Chamberlain, who has
charge Of the girls physical culture in
the public schools. was enjoyed by
moth ers. sisters and friends OF the
seventy-tivo participants.
Girls of the first, second and third
grades gave exhibitions on the Vari-
Gus apparatus. and one could hardly
believe that the little tots could per-
form so admirably on the rings and
horizontal bars. The sixth and sew
enth grade girls took part in interest
ing games which required a consider
able amount of skill. Girls OF the
eighth grade and high school showed
talent on the apparatus and floor work
and the folk dances which they pre-
scented in costume were, most pleas
ing. A Japanese and military drill
was most effective, which was particl-
pated in by all Of the classes.
Had the boys of the public schools
been permitted to attend the exhibit
ton they certainly would have been
surprised at the fine showing made by
their schoolmates. The gymnasium
and physical culture is an important
branch of our public schools and we
are glad to see so much interest
shown in it here in Denison. Stu
dents who excel in their studies must
be healthy and by taking the physical
culture work they are kept in the best
possib BILE physical condition. Proper
exercises are given under the direc-
ton OF the teacher who understands
every phase of the work and children
who are weak along certain lines are
given exercises to relieve this condi-
ton. Oftentimes physical culture
work removes slight disorders which
if not removed in youth cause serious
trouble later in life.

CLUB HOLDS
SPECIAL MEETING
Denison Commercial Club Held Spe.
ciaI Meeting at TIE New Club
Rooms Last Evening.
NEW POOL TABLES PURCHASED
Discuss Matter of Purchasing New
Furnishings for Ciub-Other I'M
portant Business Transacted.

The special meeting of the Com
mercial club held last evening in the
new quarters was well attended and
several important business matters
were disposed of. The meeting was
called by r. E. Mote. the secretary,
ter of purchasing new furnishings for
the club. The new quarters are ideal
with ample room and it will be num-
Der Of years before the club will out
grow them
c. J. WEIGH, chairman of the special
committee appointed to investigate
the matter of purchasing a new bill
lard and pool table, made report to
the club. He stated that new pool
table would cost $3.50 and that a new
billiard table would cost $275, pur
chased from the Brunswick company.
The committee hearing that Mr.. Thos.
Nielsen, proprietor of the Hotel Deni-
son. wished to dispose of his billiard
and pool tables, took the matter up
with him. This equipment when new
cost Mr.. Nielsen just a thousand dol
lars and he offered the two tables with
the complete equipment for $3.50. Mr..
" SlSli .oIdlCu ltldI t.lc equipment w.
day could be reproduced for $3.50, but
the committee was favorable to Mr..
Nielsen's proposition and recommend
ed it to the club. The club voted to
purchase the equipment and to make
the necessary repairs to the labels so
they will be as good as new.
Pres. J. B. Lyon next took up the
matter of a Encouragement of the
lighting system in the new quarters,
explaining that the whole system was
on one line and none of the lights
could be turned off without turning out
all of them. He suggested that indi
vidual switches be installed thus saw
ing considerable on the light bill each
month. A. c. Rohwer, proprietor of
the Model Electric company, was pres
ent and told the club how the present
system could be changed into more
effective one. He recommended the
i-direct lighting system and showed
a sample of fixtures which would be
suitable. Mr.. RohWer also showed a
fixture for use over the pool and
billiard tables which would give the
best possible light. 1t was decided to
have the house committee confer fur
ther with Mr. Rohwer in regard to the
matter and make suitable changes.
Mr.. Hugo Gebert spoke in regard to
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1917-03-28

| the rules of the club and said that
some of the present rules are not now
enforced. Mr.. Cramer stated that I'M
| less members observed certain rules
much Of the clubs property would be
damaged, especially the billiard and
pool tables. The committee on rules
was instructed to do everything pos
! sible to see that the present rules are
| enforced in the future.
Tuesday evening, April 18th, was
the date set for the official opening of
the new quarters and the arrange
ments were left entirely in the hands
of the entertainment committee. The
house warming promises to be great
occasion and we understand that the
| new band will furnish the music for
the evening and lap supper will be
| will be allowed to invite one guest.
L. w. Powers suggested that the
club subscribe for several magazines
| and few daily papers as we'll as the
three local papers for the reading
room. 1t seems that the club has dis
| continued all periodicals as they are
taken away by members. 1t was de-
| cided, however, to subscribe for the
lldIcl ldl luc1ltlOlcu dDOSC dHu
provide binders for them SO it will
be impossible to remove them.
Judge Conner addressed the club in
regard to the lecture course for the
coming winter. He stated that the
course given last year under the aus
pieces of the German theater was the
best ever given in Denison, but not
withstanding this fact it was a losing
proposition. A number of citizens CO.
operating with the opera house oili-
Gals met some time ago and selected
the talent for the coming course
which will surpass anything ever pre-
scented in Denison heretofore. Mr..
Conner stated that a goOdly number
of tickets have already been pledged,
but to insure the course it will be nee
essary to sell many more tickets. Mr..
George Naeve also talked of the COM
ing course and what it meant for Den
ison and hoped that every member of
the club would support the course.
A lively discussion was opened by
Mr.. Naeve in regard to the evening
train over the Boyer Valley branch of
the Northwestern, which was taken
off some time ago. Mr.. Naeve stated
that by restoring this service it would
mean nundreQS or dollars IN trade TO
the merchants of Denison. Mr.. ThCs.
Nielsen, proprietor of the Hotel Den
ison, stated that over year ago he
had gone to the trouble Of having ev-
cry business man in Denison sign a !
petition requesting the Northwestern |
to put this train back on. This petit
tion was sent to he proper Northwest
ern officials who promised that they |
would take the matter up, but as yet
had been done. Mr. r. J.
Garrison suggested the best means OF
restoring the service and that was for
every merchant in Denison to have
their freight shipped over another line.
In his opinion this would be the quick
est way to get the matter before the |
attention of the Northwestern officials.

new FIRE TRUCK
HAS ARRIVED
Denison's Newest Fire Fighter Is
Brought From Omaha-Attracts
Attention of Everybody.
NEW TRUCK COST ss,ooo.oo
Four Cylinder Studebaker Equipped
With Self Starter and Electric
Lishts-WeiI Equipped.

Denison's new automobile fire truck
was brought to Denison yeSterday
from Omaha and is attracting consid-
cradle attention at the Denison Auto
company through which it was pur-
chased by the department.
The truck is certainly beauty and
one that every citizen Of Denison may
we'll be proud of. The truck is
mounted on powerful four cylinder
Studebaker chassis of the latest mod
ell with self starter and electric light
ed throughout. The equipment is the
best obtainable and includes two 80
gallon chemical tanks with the neces-
sary chemical hose on windlass' To-
Gated at the rear of the drivers seat.
On each running board there is
large hand chemical and lantern. On
each side of the truck extension lad
ders are hung as well as axes and 9TH
er necessary paraphernalia. The
truck will carry 1000 feet of regula-
ton hose. which is ample for any or
binary blaze. The speed of the ma
chine is regulated by governor that
will not permit its being run faster
than twenty miles an hour and an
electric siren horn will clear the traf-
fic from the streets.
The new equipment represents an
investment of $4,000 and will give
Denison much better fire protection
than it has ever enjoyed in the past.
With the truck the department will be
able to reach blaze in any part of
the city within three minutes after
the alarm is sent in so that fire will
not have time to gain much headway.
Several members of the department
will be instructed as to the care of
the machine and certain ones will be
designated to drive it.
Residents of Denison who wish to
see the new fire truck in operation
will be given an opportunity Thurs
day evening. The tiremen will give
demonstration of the new apparatus
on the paved streets down town about
8 o'clock. The boys have been trying
out the new truck today and are be-
coming expert in handling the big
heavy machine. 3. u #

All praise to those women of Tar

work. The interest is growing, more
ladies are attending at the work
rooms; in fact, the Tarpon Springs
chapter is just getting ready to do
some great things for the comfort and
convenience of those men who are go
ing to do the real fighting. Friends,
put yourself in the place Of "the man
over there in the trenches" and think
how much joy and satisfaction would
be yours when you received from
those flowing patriotic women back
home" a sweater, a pair of socks, a

aroused and enthused to such degree
that you viii determine to accomplish
far more than you have in the past

Official reports from Italy state that
unless means are provided to relieve
the food shortage the situation in that
country threatens to become alarming.

every commodity, and the only re-
source is assistance from the United
