Skill and Taste in Manufacture

At the press view last Friday the cx-
hibition OF the Architectural League in
tho Fine Arts Building was still in the
hands Of its organizers and in too con-
fused state to convey quite the i'm
preston aimed at. Yet it was possible
TO spprehend the broad lines of the
show and to form an idea of the pur-
pose underlying them. This is to en-
tend the appeal hitherto made by the
league to the public, to bring the build
Ing crafts into the foreground and
illustrate architectural design not only
through drawings and photographs, but
through works of craftsmanship so ar
ranged as to give the layman some
thing of the sensation he might have in
wandering through a veritable house.
Only the house in this instance is
pitched in the key of what we suppose
might be called "a palatial hotel" A
series of small chambers-or booths
forms the introduction to the show.
The two remaining galleries, with the
aid Of heroic pillars and swelling
draperies, have been transformed into
grand" halls. Owing to the restricted
space this has proved a rather over
whelming expedient, the riskiness Of
which has been emphasized by the en-
ployment of extremely powerful colors,
rich blues, yellows and the like. The
ensemble is nothing if not gorgeous, a
fact in which there may be detected
certain unconscious humor. This is all

puzzled over problems of house build

THR|F I POSTERS
 WILL BE SHOWN

Of the various interesting subjects that will form the exhibit of school work for the past year of the Phoenix public schools, will be the display of war savings posters made by the pu- pills of every grade from the highest to the lowest This exhibit which was selected by Miss Cordelia McLein, su- pervisor of art of the public schools. made the selection for this exhibit which will be open to the public all of Friday, including in the evening. It is the hope of Miss McLain that the parents of pupils attending the schools and the public generally will take ad- vantage of the opportunity to view this class of work.
 Early this year the national war savings committee inaugurated a war savings poster contest in which it was urged every man, woman and child in the United States take part. In the public schools of this city this contest took on the form of regular work in the art department so that practically every pupil in attendance at one time or another submitted a poster for place in the contest.
 The best of these posters were dupli- cated and forwarded to the Leland Stanford university where they were further judged and the best of these sent 10 the war savings committee in Washington. The contest was closed sometime ago, but the awards which will consist of valuable cash prizes as well as medals and honorable mention, have not yet been announced. It is expected that Phoenix will receive rec ognition at the hands of the final judges.

MESA MEETING FUR RED CROSS BRINGS
 SPLENDID RESULTS

MESA, May 22.-The great meeting in the interest of the S100,000,000 Red Cross war fund, held last evening in Chandler court, aroused the throng of people in attendance to a high pitch of enthusiasm, and without doubt will be greatly instrumetal in putting the Mesa district well over the top, when the weeks campaign shall have ended.
 w. R. Stewart, chairman of the com mittee on arrangements, after drop ping everything else, even to the eX- tent of forgetting that he was in the real estate business for the day, bent every energy toward making of the pretty court a thing of beauty indeed. Everything floated the national colors, while the flags of the allies and of the state of Arizona lent their varied colorS to the enhancement of the scene. Chairs were provided for the women and the elders, while around the edges of the court there were hundreds standing.
 The Indian school band first inspired the crowd with patriotic airs, their presence in Mesa, and their well known reputation as a band of exceptional training and talent, bringing scores of auto loads from adjoining towns. Ser geant White of the Canadian forces was the speaker of the evening. The young soldier brought home to many their first intimate acquaintance with the grim reality of the world conflict. Speaking plainly without attempt at sensationalism or dramatics. Sergeant White uttered message calculated to solemnize every heart and to stiffen the determination to give until the hard lot of the wounded soldiers may be softened and their healing made more sure.
 This morning the drive will start in earnest. Mesa is determined to do her best in this as in the efforts of the past, and a host of loyal workers will gather at the headquarters and then go out into the homes of the town and surrounding communities that go to make up the Mesa district.

The first day of the Red Cross cam paign to raise their war fund of one hundred million dollars saw many citi- zens going of their own free will to the headquarters at the Tempe Ma tional bank and doing their duty by chipping in their mite before they are asked. It is hoped that at least 75 per cent will not have to be waited upon by a committee before they jar loose from their simoleons. Of course the laggards will have to be called upon and shown their plain duty, but you do not want to be in that class, do you? See to it now.

Hiuh School Play

The senior class of the high school this evening, May 22. at the Goodwin opera house, will repeat for the pleas ure of the public the delightful comedy, Green Stockings" The very title it. self is clever, as is the whole play throughout the three acts, both in dia- logue and plot The plot deals with the custom whereby an elderly sister is compelled to wear green stockings at the wedding of a younger sister, pro- viding she herself happens to be un- married or unbetrothed.
 After having worn the hated green stockings twice, Celia Faraday rebels when the time approaches for her to wear them the third time, and the play immediately fascinates the audience with the droll situations and the diff culties in which she finds herself, try ing to extricate herself from the pre- dicament.
