CREDIT MEN SEE NOTHING ID BE ALARMED OVER All Situations May Be Con trolled by Wise and Judi-
 cious Conduct by the
 Business Men

New York November 1S.-While admit ting that there are clements of dan der confronting credits during the re- adjustment period after the war, the council on credit defense of the National Association of Credit Men declared in a statement tonight that there is nothing in the situation which may not be con trolled by wise and judlcious conduct on the part of the business men,"
 In announcing the Formulation of a broad readjustment programme" the council asserted that "business men should be permitted to guide the govern mental authorities in bringing about. with the least possible friction and upheaval of business conditions, such changes as the new conditions create
 To meet these conditions, the council declared that government contracts, upon which the larger percentage of America's industrial resources have been concen- trated. must not be abruptly terminated; that commodity values and prices must not be suddenly Nowered; that long-term transactions must be abridged and that 'in order that credit may be kept liquid. open accounts must be curtailed as far as possible in favor of negotiable and self-liauidating acknowledgements of debts.''

JEWISH WELFARE BOARD

The Jewish Welfare board organized to meet an unexpected contingency. has become an achievement of American Jewish life, brought about by whole hearted devotion and service to those who are ready to make the great sac- rifice. He has done more; by emphasiz- ing the presence of protestant, Catholic and Jew working side by side, it has helped to bring about that closer rela- tionship which is making away with the difference of creed. A Methodist bishop carries a rosary on the battlefield; a priest administers the sacrement to a Jew, and a Rabbi consoles the dying pro- testant.
 It is this same spirit of service by united efforts that is leading the seven allied organizations engaged in war work to pool their efforts in & united war work campaign, the Young Mep's Christian association. the Young Womens Chris ton association, the Knights of Colum- bus, the Jewish Welfare board, the American Library association, the War Camp Community service. and the Saliva. ton Army, are working unitedly and har- moniously for common cause; to make life habitable for the girl and boy in war and to bring them home untarnishe6 when peace is declared.

EPUbL|CANS WILL
 | ORGANIZE WITHOUT STAGING A FIGHT
Mann Will Be Speaker of House and Lodge Will Be
 Leader in the Senate
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington November lS.-(Special ) The organization of the new Congress will be achieved very smoothly and with out single spectacular fight, it is now indicated
 James Mann, republican leader, will be elected speaker of the House by acclama- tion, unless he reaches conclusion him. self that his health renders his ser. vice impossible. Joseph Fordney of Illi- nois will be chairman of the ways and means committee, but in all probabil- lty. the republican leadership will go to Representative Gillett of Massachu- setts, who has served in that capacity during the long illness of MT. Mann There will be no conflict between Speak CT Clark and Majority Leader Kitchin. The latter has declared it to be his in- tention to surrender the democratic lead. ersnip to the speaker, although he will retain his rank as first democrat on the ways and means committee.
 Tn the Senate Mr. Lodge of Massachu- setts Will lead the republicans, and MT. Martin of Virginia, the, democrats. The republicans have not indicated whom they Will make. president protempore.
 This office is generally an empty honoi as the vice president usually appears and takes charge
 Ihe republicans have formally declared that they will support the President dur lng reconstruction just as we supported him in time of war; but apparently promise to ruffle the surface by stating that i've will so conduct ourselves as to demonstrate to the people the urgent necessity of electing republican Presi- dent in 1920"
 The new Congress will present no fe- male face. Miss Rankin, who represents Montana in the present House, will not be member after March D. She went out trying to enter the Senate. Throukh out the country no woman offered for the House. Miss Rankin and Miss Anne Martin, the latter in Nevada, ran for the Senate. but neither met with suc- cess.
 In the new Congress there will be no chairman from the south During the life Of the democratic administration the charge was often made that the "south Is in the saddle.'' Now, however, with certainty that from that vast section an empire within itself. no chairman will come, nothing is said by the "wav- CTS of the bloody shirt" regarding 'un- necessary discrimination.

People Who Have Wanted All Their Life to See Enrico Caruso, the Golden Voiced Tenor, Can
 Now View His Royal Highness"
sMY COUSIN
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

1 TIN ONT you know scores of people | Il who have told you that they d sim,
 ply adore to see and hear Caruso
 the master tenor of the world but they !, have to forego the pleasure because ot l the price?
 l Five dollars is a big bunch of money l to plank out" to see one person and | few of us ever dreamed that we'd have q chance to view Caruso in the movies i but, To! and behold! we have with us today none other than the golden voiced tenor-not singing to be sure, but acting l in his first picture, My Cousin round at the Strand and everybody has chance l to see him at prices which are not pro' hibitory.
 l But what sort of an actor is Caruso?'
 somebody asked me yesterday as I left I the Strand after seeing the renowned tenor in his first picture.
 Dandy I replied. and meant it. Ca russo is really great actor; he has poise and also display; an astonishing un- derstaEding of the cameras demands especially for first picture; for acting | on the operatic stage was very diff ferent proposition, because there he had I his beautiful voice to depend upon-if ! he couldn't act he certainly could sing -but, on the screen he is entirely depend- ent upon his acting-and it's great asset one which has been overshadowed per- haps, by his marvellous voice; if Caruso hadn't been great singer he could have l been great actor-for historically he I is as clever as he is musically, ! Facial expression, dash, style, all char acterize Caruso's art on the screen and | he will, undoubtedly. register as one of filmland's greatest artists
 1 The first picture which Caruso appears l in has for it's apropos title, My Cousin ; no need to add "Caruse''; it is a bright, | quick-moying, attractive sort of picture every minute interesting and quite a 1 clever vehicle for the noted tenor's first appearance.
 l Before giving a little synopsis of the story of the picture it is just as well I to say right here that Carolina White, Caruso's Heading lady, is also one ot our most popular grand opera stars ; she has beauty and talent plus and Is an excellent foil for the clever star. 1 The story of the picture, My Cousin, presents Caruso in a double role-Tom- asso, an artist, and Cesare Caruli, a ] tenor Tomasso, the poor artist who makes models for plaster casts, is cousin l to Cesare Caruli, the famous tenor. Ma rio loves Rosa Ventura. the cashier in l her fathers restaurant, and although l she flirts occasionally with Lombardi proprietor of fruit and vegetable stand, I she shows decided preference for 1 Mario.
 l Mario buys two seats to the opera one day, and Lombard, stunned by such munificence, openly casts doubt upon

Tomasso's relationship to the great tenor.
 Rosa, however, accompanies Mario to
 the opera and Lombardis jealous soul
 is stirred to it's depths. Caruli is given
 a great reception at the performance of
 sPagliacci, and when he provides seats
 for a number of Italian sailors, enthus-
 iasm is unbounded. After the opera, Tom
 asso takes Rosa to restaurant where
 they meet the sailors Caruli, attired in
 old clothes, comes later and none recog-
 nizes him as he takes side table and
 watches the others unobserved. Emboldened by the wine he has drunk Tomasso asks Rosa to marry him when his prospects improve and she gives her consent. He suggests a toast t0 Carull and all start to drink. Caruli rises to leave. Ir passing Tomasso the latter offers him a glass, but he declines it. Tcmasso Is abashed, and consternatiou seizes him when Lombardi triumphantly declares that Tomasso's alleged relation ship to the tenor is false, inasmuch as Caruli had failed to recognize him, while the others laugh at him.
 Many interesting incidents take place before the finale, which is happy one and that much and no more will I tell you; go and see for yourself* It may be interesting to movie fans to know that number of the interior scenes were made at the Metropolitan Opera, New York, the famous "diamond horse- shoe" and balconies forming a back ground
 MT. Caruso certainly scores in his first picture My Cousin' and with the ex- celient supporting company, presents one of the most interesting and attrac- tive pictures of the day.

RED CROSS BULLETIN

confidence which is felt in the local chap ter But since the November allotment IS o0go pairs of socks, and since only 600 pairs have been taken out, Mrs. London feels considerable hesitation in answer ing this Call for additional work. The Birmingham chapter has made an envia- ble record throughout its existence. Will the local women who have proven their loyalty and patriotism during all the long months of Red Cross work fail now to do this extra work for the boys who will remain overseas during the cold and tedious months of the coming winter? Surely the workers will feel enough pride in their chapter to answer this pressing call in their usual prompt and generous fashion.

To show that a most erroneous opinion exists among workers in the Red Cross to the effect that Red Cross work has ceased with the signing of the armistice, Mrs. London wishes the following com munication to be read with care:
 My Dear Mrs. London. Two chapters in the division have so far advised us of their inability to complete socks dis tributed to them in the November allot- ment'
 Although knowing that your chapter has been given quite large number ot socks in this allotment, I am writing tc ask if it would not be possible for you to complete 710 additional pairs of socks, should we send you the yarn?

ASKS RECEIVER FUR
 RAY KELVIN MINE CO.

Asking that a receiver be appointed and that W. F.. Cogdell lie made to give an accounting of the Ray Kelvin Min ing company. H. E. Easterday yester- day filed complaint to this effect in the superior court.
 According to the complaint. Cogdell was elected president of the mining company after it's organization last March. The plaintiff charges that Cogdell disposed of large amount of stock of the corporation and that the defendant never has accounted for funds Easterday asks that a receiver be appointed, pending litigation, in or der to conserve the interests of the corporation and that Cogdell make a strict accounting.
 Easterday is one of the defendants in s10,000 action for damages instituted by Cogdell few days ago. in which Cogdell claimed that Easterday ct al caused his arrest on a false and baseless cmbezZlement charge. The case was dismissed after the prelimi- nary hearing. The story of the arrest 1 appeared in an evening paper which also has been made a defendant in a s10.0o0 libel action instituted by Cog dell,

 Hope That City Will Get
 Quota Before Drive Ends

Perhaps the most noteworthy subscription that has been received at Liberty loan headquarters since the drive started came in yesterday from St. Johns mission at ko- matke, Gila Crossing on the Salt River Indian reservation. Indian workers contributed from their slender earnings to make up the subscription from this district, and while the total in dollars and cents would not equal what many a cit- zen of Phoenix could readily sub- scribe, the addition of the mite from these workers, struggling for living was more welcome at Liberty loan headquarters than many larger subscription from those who have loaned only a part of what they could spare. Like the Judean widow of old, these Indian workers have given all they had to the Cause.
 Judged in the light of their sac rifice. how does YOUR subscrip- ton line up?

steady stream of subscriptions to the fourth Liberty loan yesterday heartened workers at headquarters and tended to confirm the belief that from now on the sale of bonds will go for ward with a rush. Difficult as the performance looks at present. workers are still hoping that this community may close the campaign with sufficient momentum to attain it's full quota.
 Mesa has gone over the top with an oversubscription of s12000 The Phoe- nix office of the Southwest Cotton company has subscribed S19,450. This includes the subscriptions of 31 em- ployes and of the company
