Cross, an organization that contrib
utes directly toward the aid and COM
fort of the soldier boys. They take adj
vantage of every opportunity to raise
funds for the cause, and when this
chance was presented there were
ready and willing hands to volunteer
| to take hold of the work. At this time
it is not known how much the Red
CrossCross realized from the sale, but
undoubtedly the receipts amply re-
paid the ladies for the time and trouble
that they devoted to the work.
Through the courtesy Of Geo. Bar
tell matinee was given in the Orph-
cum theater last Friday afternoon for
the benefit of the Red Cross, following
a custom that was put in practice
everywhere in the land where moving
picture houses exist The receipts Of

cent will be applied to most worthy
purpose.

He became constipated and It looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle Of castor oil, and drink
It two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol-

could only be described as torture:

NAVY BUILDINGS
WEAR COMPLETION

Work on the various building un-
der construction at the aeronautic
station is progressing rapidly, and
all contracts awarded during the sum-
mer to H. Monk, and Moik and Eley
are nearing completion, according to
statement issued yesterday.
The great naval hospital which has
been in progress of building for some
months, is finished as far as the
original contract is concerned, though
there are large number of addi
tions which are being made under
supplemental contracts which have
not yet been finished.
The dirigible hangar on the Wool
sey beach outside the yard is rapidly
nearing completion, and is now oc-
cupied. Slight damage done to the
structure during the storm forced
work back a little, but it is expected
that it will be finished at an cary
date.
Airplane hangers and the erecting
ships at the flying school proper arc
fast approaching finished state, and
will probably be in use in a short
while.

NEW YORK PRESS
FEEDERS STRIKE

New York, Oct. Virtually all
printing establishments in this city,
according to union claims, were tied
up here today by a strike of press
feeders. The walkout came as a re-
suit of the refusal by the employers
to grant them a flat rate increase
of 81 a week.
The pressmen thrown out of work
by the absence of the feeders an
nounced they would confer tomorrow
with the employers on demands for
10 per cent increases which they have
made. If an agreement cannot be
reached, it was announced by the
pressmen's union, they will submit
Their demands to arbitration as pro-
vided by union rules.
Present pay is SIS to $22 a week
for feeders and $40 to $35 for press
men, and it is expected the employers
offered a "war relief" scale of in
creases ranging from so cents to So
a week.
A meeting was to be held today be-
tween representatives of the men and
the employers in an effort to arbi.
trate the difficulty.
