TO KEEP BOYS in NAVY
SUPPLIED WITH MUSIC
Circola Club, Composed of Italian
Girls. Pushes Work for Mrs.
E. T. Stotesbury

The Navy Recreation Center, of which
Mrs. +. T. Sotesbury is national chairman.
expects to make tremendous strides in sup
plying the ships of the Fourth Naval District
and others with music, since the Circola Club
mas offered its aid.
The Circola club is a band of amazingly
energetic and thorough Italian girls who. at
the time Of the third Liberty Loan, raised
surprisingly large sums and who later
offered themselves for further services to the
Navy Recreation Center.
Here their task is to raise funds to keep
the boys supplied with every form " music,
from jew's-harps to violins, and they have
given excellent promise of being able to do
so. At meeting at Mrs. Stotesbury's not
long ago they organized themselves as the
Italian Music Unit of the Navy Recreation
Center and listened sympathetcally to Mrs.
Philip LnChS account of the necessity of
music on the ships that are leaving every
week for France. She said
Music is a vital necessity to the boys, not
merely pleasure. They crave 1t and will
welcome 1t in any form whatever Cracked
and croupy monographs are hailed with the
most touching enthusiasm. A violin which
was sent to us with a broken neck was
patched up very we'll and given to one boy.
Truly you would have thought he had been
starving for music He tucked the thing
under his chin and scraped away in ecstasy
| until we almost had to force him to stop"
| Fifty pretty Italian girls listened to this :;
then promptly began to act. They wasted no
| time talking about what ought to be done
and when and how. First of all Mrs. Andrew
| Lippi chairman of the Circola Club. donated
| her piano, which will go to one Of the camps,
| since piano is too large for the submarines
Then another girl rose and said she would
give a phonograp : after that the entire club
decided that n collection should be taken up
then and there for another phonograph and
records.
The CirCola Club, which has its headquar
ters at l145 South Broad street. will work
now entirely for the musical unit oc the Navy
Recreation Center; just what the monthly
demand upon them will be has not yet been
decided, but it Is possible that they will
fix upon furnishing a phonograph and rec

rest of the night standing in several inches

by furious gas attacks and artillery fire and
the military authorities ordered the women
10 fall back Most reluctantly they did so.
"Immediately. however, Captain John
Marshall and George Riley, of our organiza-
tion who had been in a hut that was de-
molished by enemy shell-hre, and who had
been serving troops behind sandbags piled
high. at once took the places of the women.
When last heard from they were at their
nosts serving the troops, while remnants of
the hut and dugout were being merrily
sheled."
