that the Daniels Naval order drying

Frances Leonard as Margaret Smith,

was pretty and well dressed, while all
could sing well and dance gracefully.
The men of the company were far
above the standard. William Pruette,
Jr.. as Kean Hedges, was the most
graceful of dancers, well groomed and
debonaire. He is a creditable king of
lovers. and a typical matinee idol.
Guy Barthomew, in love with Mar

F. c. Palmer as Jerome Hedges, the
father.

accumulates for them. In the course
of the play, the young fellow finds
himself simultaneously and unwill

males of varying ages and charms, and
it isnot until the last minute that he
is free to marry the dream girl of the

A GREAT MESSAGE BORNE BY
THE FIELD SECRETARY.

The best Red Cross address, by all

Unfortunately his audience was con

Der OF the Executive Committee and
a few others his message was one
that everybody interested in winning
the war should have heard.
Mr.. MclIulIen is Field Secretary of
the Central Division of the American
Red Cross which includes Iowa. and
he is on a tour of local chapters, He
knows everything about the great
work and is not only an interesting
talker, but a travelling encyclopedia
or Red Cross. The burden Of his mes
sage was that every man, woman and
child should be at work doing some.
thing to win the war and alleviate the
consequent sufferings The soldier
boys in the service have no choice in
the burdens they are to perform, and
those at home should not hesitate at
any duty set before them.
If called on to make dainty dress
ings all well and good, but il asked to
repair old clothes for the refugees.
there should be no hesitation. And
when one job runs out tackle another,
keep on doing something in the
great cause. We cautioned the wo-
men however, not to work to the
point of a nervous breakdown as their
services are necessary in the days
and weeks and months to come. The
war is likely to last several years and
the demands made upon the Red Cross
will increase and multiply. We must
all be in trim to meet the increased
demands.
Mr.. McMulien said the growth of the
American Red Cross, was without par
allel in history. One year ago 1t had
only 100000 members. Now it has o.
100000, with ten million women Civ
ing large portion of their time to
do volunteer work.
In addition to his talk Mr. Nc
Mullen answered many questions in.
a way that gave great help to the local
