Continued from list page)


in Des MONIES the largest auditorium
in the state and the largest theater in
any Of the states represented at Camp
Dodge will soon be ready for service.
The latest theatrical successes from
Broadway, rendered by the best talent
in America, together with the best tai
sent in the Chautauqua and Lyceum
field will soon be available at Camp
Dodge. All entertainment features Of
army environments and national guard
camps are to be consolidated under
the one head, the Military Entertain
ment council, which will act under the
Fosdick commission. Marc Klaw, well
known New York theatrical manager,
will take over the management of all
army Y. M. G.. A. auditoriums, Chau-
tauqua tents and camp theaters. The
sGovernement has built and equipped
the theaters. The expense of putting
on the shows is to be provided by a
nationwide campaign for the sale of
what will be called tSmileage Books =
of 81 and SIS values, containing respect
lively 2,100 coupons, good for admission
to any Of the Liberty performances.
These books will be issued by secretary
of war and will be placed in every city
and town in the country Jan. 20, so that
they may generally be purchased and
sent to the soldiers as passes to the shows.
There is space on the books for an
inscription, giving the name Of the
donor and the name of the soldier to
whom it is to be sent. Civilians, the
announcement says, may take advan-
tage Of the cheap admission provided
by the smileage books only when the
books are presented by men in uniform.
The National army takes no chances
with an epidemic. Major Witte, rep
resenting the United States public
health service, has given orders that
soldiers must not visit restaurants, ho-
tells, barber shops or places Of amuse-
ment except such as have cards prom
inently displayed showing that they
have complied with the rules laid down
by a government inspector. All BARRIERS
must show certificate Of successful
vaccination for small pox and typhoid;
they must observe cleanliness Of person
and Of apparel; all equipment used in
barbering must be. sterilized, and no
barber with the black plague will be
tolerated. These rules not only obtain
at tie shops in and around Damp Codge
but in the city Of Des MONIES as well.
Among the restaurants los have come
up to government requirements and
have been denied a card. The
rules are many and very strict. Among
them are the following: All doors,
ventilators and similar OPEN
ings to be covered with tightly fitting
wire screens. No living quarters GER
mitted in restaurants. No clothing,

waste material is prohibited. Soldiers
are forbidden to purchase goods or pat
ronize soda water fountains, ice cream
parlors, drug stores, manicure parlors
or similar establishments not certified
