thorized to do this work. ThIs plan

fraudulent collection Of funds.
The national council endorsed GER
tain organizations which are doing
war work, and in order TO raise . fund
for them to carry on their work II was
decided to conduct drive during the
week beginning Nov. IL. The amount
to be raised In the United States was
placed al S17O,600.000. This sum

ing organizations:

Jones Changes Vote.

Before the vote was announced
Senator Jones of New Mexico, chair
man of the woman suffrage commit
ee, to comply with parliamentary re-
Quirements, changed his vote from
the affirmative to the negative and
moved that the senate reconsider.
This made the final official record SO
to 81 and left the resolution technic-
ally pending on the senate calendar,
in position for further consideration
planned after the November elections,
when suffrage forces hope to muster
the requisite number of votes.
President Wilson's personal ad-
dress to the senators Monday, supple
mented by letters Tuesday to several
democratic senators opposed to the
resolution, did not change single
vote, although in the final debate
some senators asserted that defeat
OF the resolution would mean repudi-
alton of the executive. Including the
absent and paired senators, the roll
call showed that the senate lineup Of
SO to "a on the resolution remained
virtually unchanged from the begin
ming Of the fight last Thursday.
Defeat Only Temporary.
Chairman Jones and other champi
ons of the resolution declared after
Tuesdays vote that the defeat is only
temporary and that the contest will
be renewed after the November elec
tions when changes in membership
are certain. Administration leaders
also admitted that the vote was ths
first important reverse President vii
son has met in advocacy of what h
has declared to be essential war meas

PUNCHY WESTERN
 DRAMA AT FOX'S

Pay Mel, that virile western
 drama which opened at Fox's last night and will be seen again today, will go down in history as the great est thriller yet It makes good every
 promise that was made of it, and al- though some great things were ex-
 pected, the picture is even more startling than imagined. Dorothy Phillips is at the head of the all-star cast which plays in the production and she is cast for the most unusual role of her screen career that of Marta Marta is the daughter of Hal Curtis, a fortunate miner in a tough little mining camp back in the days of the big gold strike in '49. While Marta is yet an infant her father is shot and left for dead by Killer White, who steals the little girl and VaniShes into the North. Years pass, and Hal Curtis, recovering from his wounds, has been searching diligent-
 ly day and night, for Killer White.
 At length he finds him many miles to
 the northward in a wild community
 of the Yukon, running a combination
 saloon dancehaU, and gambling den,
 and Marta, supposing that she is the
 Killers daughter, is the queen of the
 town. Heart broken at the shame
 that his enemy has apparently
 brought upon his own flesh and blood
 Curtis lays a desperate trap for him, aided by a mysterious character known only as Big Bill, who admircS
 Marta, but is quite unable to under stand her position in the camp. She
 returns his interest and strives to maintain his respect and at the same time attempts to keep her love
 @ secret from him whom she calls father. The climax of the picture in troduces the most terrible fight that was ever photographed. Words fail to describe the thrill and excitement of it. In the battle, the Killer tries his hardest to kill Hal Curtis and Big
 Bill, but learns that the latter is none other than his own son whom he de- serted at the time that he kidnapped Marta. This is but one of the sur prising twists that make Pay Mel" the most startling thing of it's kind that has ever been attempted.

 What War Has Done to Language.
 Think, for instance of the words and phrases that have been suddenly injected into our daily language.
 How many people, do you suppose there are yho do not know the mean ing of such phrases as "Watchful Waiting" His morning hate," "a scrap of paper" or the one I uncon- sciously used-"over there" Who does not know what it means to Knit for the Kaiser or to "Go over the top?"
 I suppose such words as "prepar edness'' and "conservation" were in the dictionary ten years ago, but not with the definite meaning they now have. When the next dictionary IS written I think something Will nave tc be added to the definition ot these words.
